Regarding Israel: I don't know, man - if I had a daughter who was kidnapped, tortured, raped, and then murdered - and her mutilated body driven through the streets while everyone cheered and spit on her corpse - I would want all of them dead. All of them. Every one of them.

Lost my Dad last night, so I won't get to thank him in person anymore. He was a kind, humble, hard-working father who never let me down. He nurtured my strengths, accepted my weaknesses, and loved me even when I didn't deserve it. I'll see him again. He waits for me now.

We adopted and drove this gentle giant across the country two years ago this Christmas. Sometime last night he lay down next to me and died in his sleep. I can't think of a greater honor than to know that's where he wanted to be. I'll see him again. He'll be waiting for me.

I patiently soldiered on for 8 years under Obama, even though I didn't vote for him. I didn't cry, throw rocks, call Obama illegitimate, hope half the country would die, or tell my friends to go to hell. In short, I behaved like an adult citizen of a Federal Republic. Try it.

Men who are militantly opposed to wearing flip flops anywhere but the beach: 1- have never lived or operated in a hot environment for real, or 2- are insecure about their sexuality. I said what I said. Come at me.

Why should they GAF about taking your freedom when so many of you clearly don't GAF about keeping it?

What if we replaced the neutered Boy Scouts with a new organization? Imagine one being created by combat vets and others who've lived in the real world. Something to think about.

Sure. Stray dogs with collars. Those are military working dogs. We left them. They will be dead soon.

Stop reacting immediately to every story the media puts out. They're usually lying or leaving something out. This is by design. Breathe. Pet your dog. Rub one out. Knit a sweater (for me). If you do it in that sequence, wash your hands. Seriously. Everyone chill TF out.

Our time in Saipan is done. For now. The team worked like demons to excavate the remains of the brave Hellcat pilot shot down here so long ago. For obvious reasons, I can't tell you what we found, but it was very emotional for all of us. And so worth it. De Oppresso Liber.

Paragliders dropping from the sky to rape and murder unsuspecting civilians at a dance festival encapsulates the West's peril perfectly. It's not all about peace, love, drugs, sex and comfort. There are wolves circling you, waiting for the right moment to rip your throat out.

Update on that old lady I adopted recently. She's doing great. But man, she must have been a HANDFUL when she was young.

It would be interesting to know how many Antifa members are also demanding their student loans be paid for by US taxpayers.

They had it in the bag. They KNEW they were gonna win. And we took it from them. Everything we've experienced these last 4 years - dishonest media, FBI/CIA/DOJ corruption, impeachment scam, riots, Kavanaugh - everything - is because this guy was wrong. And they want revenge.
