For the better part of a week, President Donald Trump’s opponents have been misrepresenting what happened in his excruciating Oval Office meeting with Ukraine’s President Volodymyr Zelensky. Sen. Jack Reed (D-RI), the senior Democrat on the Armed Services Committee, called the argument a “calculated political ambush” by Trump and Vice President JD Vance on Zelensky. […]

Film blogger Sasha Stone, who rankled Hollywood in recent years by thinking for herself in public, recently captured my feelings for the umpteenth time on X.  “There are a lot of people out there like me.

Central to that mission is the readiness, lethality, strength, and warfighting acumen that make up the foundation of American deterrence.
