In 2019, Micah Herndon, a former Marine who survived an IED explosion in Afghanistan in 2010, collapsed and crawled to the finish at the Boston Marathon. He runs in honor of the three Marines who were lost in the ambush. https://t.co/t8lBVlksFS

@MattWallace888 In 2011, 30 American servicemen and a military dog lost their lives when Extortion 17 was shot down in Afghanistan. It remains the greatest single loss for Naval Special Warfare. Pause to honor these heroes and their families. https://t.co/IxFNsYELB7

“Everything off the table, if Afghan Taliban do not cooperate on TTP” Pakistan’s special representative on Afghanistan Ambassador Sadiq Khan @AmbassadorSadiq while speaking at a seminar organised by @IPRI_Pak said that TTP is a big challenge for us, it cannot be tolerated, because our young boys are being martyred every day, it has become so common in certain areas. It would be criminal to ignore that. Afghanistan has to work with us on this, if they are not working with us then all deals are off, and there can be no further progress on anything. Pakistan can be very helpful to Afghanistan, if we could stop terrorism coming from the other side of the border. I will be honest and pragmatic about it, we have an issue in Pakistan, that is one part. But people coming from Afghanistan is also an issue that has to be stopped. The solution is not necessarily killing people, the solution is not necessarily arresting people and handing them over to Pakistan. The solution is restraining it, the solution is containing them on which I think no one should have any objection.

An incredibly special moment celebrating the amazing work of Mel Jones, Dr Catherine Ordway and Emma Staples. The 2025 Spirit of Cricket award winners for organising the evacuation of the Afghanistan’s Women’s Cricket team in Australia. The standing ovation was much deserved. https://t.co/hhy7ZEPlJy

Reflections: Several months ago, I started a website to search federal awards. The idea here was we'd find general waste, cut spending, execute on a vision of smaller government. And there's certainly a lot of bloat. However, what started out as waste-cutting quickly morphed into understanding why so much money is leaving the federal government and going into NGOs. These NGOs have been responsible for trafficking 20 million illegal immigrants into our country during the Biden years, many of them receiving benefits. And many of these NGOs also are the primary beneficiaries of foreign aid. And then I dig deeper - there is an entire ideology, an entire philosophy connecting this web of foreign aid and mass migration. This is the same ideology which led Congress to finance Ukraine, but not Hurricane Helene victims. This is the same ideology which led us into the Iraq and Afghanistan wars. This is the same ideology that George Soros outlined in his essay, "Toward a New World Order: The Future of NATO." This is the same ideology which caused President Biden to declare 74 million supporters of President Trump the greatest threat to our Republic. To defeat government waste, we have to defeat this ideology. I never expected to set on this path. I don't know where it will head. But I will continue to do my part.

Muslims living with Hindus = Problem. Muslims living with Buddhists = Problem. Muslims living with Christians = Problem. Muslims living with Jews = Problem. Muslims living with Sikhs = Problem Muslims living with Baha’is = Problem. Muslims living with Shintos = Problem. Muslims living with Atheists = Problem. Muslims living with Muslims = Big Problem. This led to: They’re not happy in Gaza. They’re not happy in Egypt. They’re not happy in Libya. They’re not happy in Morocco. They’re not happy in Iran. They’re not happy in Iraq. They’re not happy in Yemen. They’re not happy in Afghanistan. They’re not happy in Pakistan. They’re not happy in Syria. They’re not happy in Lebanon. They’re not happy in Nigeria. They’re not happy in Kenya. They’re not happy in Sudan. Where are they happy? They’re happy in Australia. They’re happy in England. They’re happy in Belgium. They’re happy in France. They’re happy in Italy. They’re happy in Germany. They’re happy in Sweden. They’re happy in the USA and Canada. They’re happy in Norway and India. They’re happy in almost every country that is not Islamic. Whom do they blame? Not Islam. Not their leadership. Not themselves. They blame the countries they are happy in. They want to change the countries they’re happy in to be like the countries they came from, where they were unhappy.
