“The struggle against evil continued, and it will continue until Judgment Day. … We will finish this fight.
“Over the past six months, we have laid waste to the world's most prolific state sponsor of terrorism. Our warriors have fought an Islamic theocracy that have wished us death for nearly half a century, that cheered on 9/11. A regime that has sponsored terrorist attacks against Americans for decades, killing thousands, including our comrades in Iraq and Afghanistan. … The United States killed their leaders, destroyed their air force, and their navy rests at the bottom of the sea.
“It's simple: if Iran shoots at U.S. ships, we will destroy (and sink) their oil tankers. All they have to do is not shoot at @USNavy. Iran's oil tanker fleet is defenseless — Iran has no navy or air force. Our planes, ships & subs can strike them all, in @CENTCOM & @USPACOM.
“Huge congrats to Adam. Strong and whip smart.
“this is real 🇨🇦
“No more politically correct and overbearing rules of engagement.
“Some deployments are longer than others, and I have more respect and gratitude for those sailors than anybody. What they do in those high seas in those austere conditions with fewer port calls — it's incredible.
“Indefinitely the United States Navy can maintain a blockade.
“Anywhere you traffic drugs or you threaten the American people or our partners, you are a target just like ISIS or al-Qaida.
“Like you saw with the strikes on the drug boats. Same effect on land. We're working with partners to bring the fight to the [designated terrorist organizations] on land.
“We make sure every ship, every crew, every captain has everything we can provide them at every single moment.
“Through the newly inaugurated president, as our president likes to say, President El Tigre, Colombia has already requested that the Department of War join Colombia in its fight against narco-terrorism, authorizing joint military operations to destroy terrorists and terror networks.
“This request is an urgent necessary injection of resources to address the immediate needs of our department.
“We have all the authorities necessary at this moment.
“This initiative, it's not about artificial enhancement. It's about restoring and optimizing your natural capabilities, protecting your longevity, ensuring you have the biological foundation required to sustain the fight.
“When a leak of department information occurs today, it’s critical that we provide the Department of Justice and other partners in federal law enforcement — including the FBI — with actionable information as quickly as possible. Leaked information risks lives.
“We became 'the woke department.' … We're done with that shit.
“I'm proud here to stand with Ed Gallrein, because he led warriors in combat. When conservatives are fighting the most radical left in American history, too often Massie's instinct is to throw elbows at fellow Republicans...You can send a warrior, reinforcements for the president in our shared fight against the radical left. Or you can send an obstructionist.
“The ceasefire is not over. Iran's attacks on shipping and the UAE are completely illegal, completely illegitimate and completely unacceptable — but they do not constitute a termination of the ceasefire between US forces and Iran.
