@CynicalPublius I’ve spent a long time denying this, mostly on the basis that Muslim immigrants have historically been the strongest Republican bloc. However my experience at the Pentagon has reshaped this drastically. Every Muslim, same with every Christian, has the choice t 29.3K views · 1.4K likes · 122 reposts · 49 replies Open on X →

@CynicalPublius @KaraBoutU2 Exactly. I encourage GWOT veterans to run for office and get involved in their communities as leaders for this very reason. 5.2K views · 692 likes · 77 reposts · 10 replies Open on X →
Have you noticed that the community that is most vocal in warning about the Islamification of the USA is the GWOT veterans’ community? That’s because we saw things with our own eyes that are hard for others to believe: 1. The treatment of women as chattel property.

@CynicalPublius We need the White House to realize it. Everything trickles down from leadership. They steer the ship. We should be seeing shock and awe from them. The hour is late. 762 views · 67 likes · 11 reposts · 0 replies Open on X →
@CynicalPublius This is a good video to share with friends and family. Especially if they were too young when it happened to remember how our lives were so much better before 9/11. https://t.co/vA6ls4B3KV

@CynicalPublius We lost GWOT the same way we lost Vietnam. Cowardly politicians and media propagandists degraded public will. Nation also called it war but never treated it as one. No united national effort. No shared sacrifice. 1% of population with any skin at risk knowing they 973 views · 63 likes · 8 reposts · 3 replies Open on X →
I feel that the 25th anniversary of 9/11 has caused a critical mass of Americans to reach an inflection point on their understanding of that event. We are starting to realize that we lost the Global War on Terror. We did not lose it on military grounds. We lost it on spiritual 148.9K views · 13K likes · 3.8K reposts · 506 replies Open on X →

I’ll “stop” when the Washington Post publicly clarifies its evil hit piece and clearly and unambiguously acknowledges that no government source of any kind has ever, directly or indirectly, paid me any compensation of any kind to write anything on X or in any other publication. 26.9K views · 1.6K likes · 371 reposts · 59 replies Open on X →
So last night I watched a favorite old war movie for free on YouTube, "Sink the Bismarck." I had not seen it in decades. Made in 1960, it really holds up well today (and yes I know it has a number of historical inaccuracies, such as portraying the Nazi admiral fleet commander 23.3K views · 1.1K likes · 88 reposts · 114 replies Open on X →
What's the stupidest reason you have ever heard for quitting on a military school? For me it was the MSII ROTC cadet in my stick who quit after one week of Airborne school because the PT was not challenging enough and it was interfering with his triathlon training. 23.9K views · 596 likes · 42 reposts · 76 replies Open on X →
From my DMs today: “When are they (@RobManess, @KurtSchlichter, @CynicalPublius and @DataRepublican) going to stop? This schtick is getting old.” Oh, buddy. They’re just getting warmed up. The main event hasn’t even started yet. 🍿 38K views · 300 likes · 60 reposts · 12 replies Open on X →
OK, some people are--incredibly--taking this seriously. I loved the '80s. Best decade ever. I was just being sarcastic and making fun of Ryan Reynolds. 12K views · 1.2K likes · 50 reposts · 88 replies Open on X →

POLL: As the Washington Post constantly publishes classified Pentagon information criminally leaked to it by dissatisfied, unelected, career bureaucrats, is this making America more secure or less secure? 20.1K views · 266 likes · 125 reposts · 94 replies Open on X →

I'm just wondering if these "journalists" have even the slightest conscience about the fact that they are facilitating federal employees committing national security crimes while the "journalist" himself is immune from prosecution thanks to a Supreme Court case. 41.4K views · 2K likes · 373 reposts · 144 replies Open on X →

@CynicalPublius Freedom of speech is a beautiful thing. Weren't you censored on Twitter pre-Elon? Banned? Shadow banned? My side of history is freedom of speech. Their side of history is censorship. 46K views · 1.3K likes · 119 reposts · 32 replies Open on X →

I get tired of Democrats claiming to be on the “right side of history” when both their past and their present are so utterly sordid and destructive. So, if you are a Democrat, let me tell you about MY side of history and YOUR side of history. My side of history is Cato the 3.8M views · 38.5K likes · 17.1K reposts · 4.9K replies Open on X →
