The "Double Tap" War Crimes Hoax is a complete joke. I've personally called in air strikes in Afghanistan as an Infantry Rifle Platoon Leader. My Battalion Commander nicknamed me "Bombardier 6" because I loved dropping 500-pound bombs on the enemy. The military doesn't get one chance to destroy the enemy. Enjoy this classic footage from an AC-130 Gunship destroying enemy fighters during the Global War on Terror. WARNING: There are a lot of "double taps."

Ordinary Americans cannot comprehend the evil Afghanistan war veterans experienced. Afghans were untrustworthy allies who sold their children to pedophiles, ritually raped little boys, and beat their women. I deployed to Afghanistan in 2010 as an Infantry Rifle Platoon Leader. It was the deadliest year of Operation Enduring Freedom. I saw radical Islam up close and personal. There were a couple women attached to my unit. They were brave, tough, and blonde-haired. They served as our Female Engagement Team. My soldiers constantly protected them from local Afghans. These sick men would linger around our foot patrols. They had zero respect for these women. They would have beaten and raped them if given the chance. As a Platoon Leader, one of my main duties was to conduct Key Leader Engagements with local Afghan leaders. During these meetings, cute little boys would serve us tea. These boys were sold into slavery and sexually abused by these sick older men. My local, Afghan interpreter sympathized with these children. He told me their parents would sell them into slavery in exchange for educational opportunities. He proudly said some of these boys would return to murder their parents. My combat experience opened my eyes to how incompatible Islam is with American values. I shared these stories with Breanna Morello in a must watch video.

Ranger School trained me to "never leave a fallen comrade to fall into the hands of the enemy." The motto of Air Force Pararescuemen: "These Things We Do, That Others May Live." Pray for a successful rescue mission. Thank you Tomi Lahren for having me on.

Afghans are unvettable and untrustworthy. The greatest threat I faced in Afghanistan wasn't Al-Qaeda, the Taliban, or Haqqani. It was my so-called Afghan "partners." During meetings, I had a squad leader over my shoulder holding his weapon in the low ready, watching the hands of my "allies." Before major joint operations, we would confiscate their cell phones. They still provided early warning to enemy fighters. We gave these people weapons and uniforms, and hoped they would fight a mutual enemy. Thank you Breanna Morello for allowing me to share this story.

Democrats will attempt to undercount military votes in 2026. Most Americans assume overseas absentee ballots belong to deployed servicemembers. In reality, over 70% came from non-military civilians abroad in 2024. Battleground states are violating federal law by illegally accepting ballots, skipping identity verification, and counting the same ballot more than once. That's not a glitchโit's a pattern that directly dilutes servicemembers' votes. Veteran Action will fight to protect the military vote and stop the left's illegal election tactics.

The Forever War establishment failed America for decades. President Trump's America First foreign policy put results first. It took 10 years to kill Bin Laden and 8+ months to capture Saddam. Trump captured Maduro in a single day. He killed the Ayatollah in the opening strikes on Iran. He called Iraq a 'big, fat mistake' โ and proved Forever Wars are a choice.

As an Afghan war veteran, I know President Trump is correct to pause immigration from third world countries. Battlefield vetting to fight a mutual enemy is wildly different from vetting someone to live in the United States. Americans cannot fathom the evil we veterans witnessed in Afghanistan. I shared disturbing details of my experience as an Infantry Rifle Platoon leader in Afghanistan with Lidia Curanaj. We do not want these people in our country.

๐จ Former CIA operative Abigail Spanberger โ now Virginiaโs first female Governor โ is delivering the Democratsโ official SOTU response. This is no coincidence. Democrats are pouring massive resources into female, โveteranโ-branded candidates to flip key battleground states. Look no further than Spanberger herself. Soros-backed VoteVets dumped $1.6 MILLION into her gubernatorial raceโฆ Even though she never served a single day in the military. They paraded veteran endorsers and ran slick ads to sell her as a moderate, sensible, โCIA momโ who would reach across the aisle and put Virginia first. It worked. She flipped the governorship in November. But hereโs what happened weeks after she took office: She immediately and radically cut off all cooperation with ICE. She issued executive orders stripping state police, corrections officers, and other law enforcement of their ability to partner with federal immigration authorities. No more helping ICE remove criminal illegal aliens from our communities. The radical left is openly sharing their 2026 playbook: โ Run as โmoderatesโ with veteran optics and big progressive money โ Win critical swing races โ Immediately implement the hard-left agenda once in power My group Veteran Action is focused on delivering policy reforms to help our veterans. That means passing the Veterans' ACCESS Act and the Veterans' Bill of Rights โ legislation that guarantees timely healthcare and protects vets from VA bureaucracy. The left brags that veterans earn 5.9% more votes than non-veteran candidates. They don't care about serving veterans. They just want to win elections.

The Trump-Hegseth track record speaks for itself. Maduro: captured in a single day. Khamenei: killed in the opening strikes. Compare that to the Forever War era โ 10 years for Bin Laden, 8+ months for Saddam. Trump famously called Iraq "a big, fat mistake." Hegseth (Afghan/Iraq veteran) vowed no nation-building. Iran will not be another Forever War.

Lindsey Graham is 70 years old โ the same age MacArthur was commanding troops in Korea. If he's this passionate about sending Americans to die in Lebanon, he should request Trump reactivate his commission tomorrow. No more shuffling legal documents as a JAG officer, COL Graham โ time to lead our combat forces from the front.

THIS IS WAR. Democrats are trying to kill their opponents. Republicans need to wakeup.

Hereโs a warning to the VA bureaucrats breaking the law by not referring veterans to community care providers. Watch this video of Mike Davis my senior counsel at Veteran Action. He taught me how to vigorously fight against the lawfare waged against President Trump at the The Article III Project (A3P). Veteran Action isnโt your typical, pushover veteran service organization. We will expose you and hold you accountable legally, financially and politically.

As we approach Veterans Day, I shared a story of being ambushed in Afghanistan on Joe Brammeier's podcast. Joe and I have been friends since elementary school. I'm forever grateful to God for our survival and incredibly proud of how my men responded to enemy contact.

The Seditious Six are waging an insurgency against President Trump. It seems Republican orders are unlawful. But Democrat orders are lawful. Where were they when Barack Obama killed two American citizens in a drone strike, including a 12-year-old boy? What about the unlawful COVID-19 vaccine mandate? But they will insist President Trump's orders to kill narco-terrorists and protect our homeland are illegal. My good friend ๐บ๐ธ Mike Davis ๐บ๐ธ from the Article III Project has noted 90% of the injunctions filed by radical judges have been overturned by SCOTUS. We don't have a problem with unlawful orders. This is all politics. Thank you Joe Pags Pagliarulo for having me on.
