I'm not sure Heritage Foundation did a good job of tracking ad IDs on existing phones to find that there was a phone that visited his house regularly that went to some office building in Washington, D.C.
That's interesting.
That's curious.
We should definitely find who that handset owner was.
I'm not convinced if it was a conspiracy to kill Trump that they would have used a 20-year-old
local kid.
Is it DEI?
I would say it's a greater lack of focus on merit and being solely focused on doing the mission and just allowing all the politics and political correctness of Washington to completely distract from an idea.
Because I've seen that, we've seen that in the conduct of a war in Iraq.
in the conduct of the war in Afghanistan, in the conduct of countering the Houthis, right?
So you have the Houthis that have now shut off one of the world's major waterways.
The first thing I learned on the day one of the US Navy, the mission of the US Navy is power projection, sea control, and to control the key choke points of the world.
Well, right now, choke point is controlled by the Houthis.
Enabled by Iran, the US Navy said, well, we fired a billion dollars worth of missiles at countering the Houthis.
That's not even a real number.
It's probably five or six billion because they're counting a billion dollars worth of missiles from what they bought it for 20, 25 years ago.
They're going to pay six billion to restock.
And again, the Houthis, large and in charge, having shut that off.
They're sent, the US military is sent to Gaza to build a pier for logistics and they can't keep the pier afloat and functioning for more than a couple of days and it costs $230 million.
It's just failure after failure of throwing fire hosing money at an incompetent, unaligned bureaucracy.
