@JohnCornyn and @LindseyGrahamSC I @BenjaminLeder humbly submit to you that there is no way to hit #Iran harder than to #FreeKurdistan and #FreeBalochistan.🇺🇸👊
It is critical to global security that #Iran’s ability to arm and support the #Russians, and other hostile state and non-state actors be neutralized as part of whatever plan @LindseyGrahamSC and @JohnCornyn propose.

I had a productive meeting with Somaliland President Abdirahman Mohamed Abdullahi yesterday. Somaliland has already established itself as a reliable partner for the United States on a range of issues, from countering terrorism to protecting shipping around the Horn of Africa. We discussed further strengthening the U.S.-Somaliland partnership. I have been pushing the United States to deepen our partnership. I am committed to securing American recognition of Somaliland’s sovereignty and, in the meantime, I’m urging the State Department to stop treating Somaliland as the same as Somalia. The U.S. should establish a region-specific Travel Advisory specifically for Somaliland, which would reflect the reality on the ground. I look forward to continuing our work to advance our shared security interests.

"In 1972, the Kremlin decided to turn the whole Islamic world against Israel and the US. As KGB chairman Yury Andropov told me, a billion adversaries could inflict far greater damage on America than could a few million. We needed to instill a Nazi-style hatred for the Jews throughout the Islamic world… [B]y 1978 the whole Soviet-bloc intelligence community had sent some 4,000 such agents of influence into the Islamic world… We in the Soviet bloc tried to conquer minds, because we knew we could not win any military battles." -Gen. Ion Mihai Pacepa
Every news story follows a predictable decay function- it peaks, then is soon forgotten. That is, every story except one: Israel. I analyzed 14.7 million news articles in 65 languages, cable news airtime, and social media data from X. The results were staggering. 🧵

⚠️ Saudi Arabia’s statements about the Houthis targeting Mecca, mosques, and civilians are not meant to garner sympathy or Muslim military support. The objective is to inform the public, not to [🐊😭] when KSA retaliates relentlessly.

If you are an Arabist, > Houthis are pro-Persians. If you are a Democrat/Republican, > Houthis are tribal and dictatorial. If you are a Sunni Muslim, > Houthis are Shiite Rafidites. If you are a freedom supporter, > Houthis are occupiers.

I am profoundly grateful to President Trump for his confidence in me and for the extraordinary honor of being selected to represent the United States of America as Ambassador to the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia. President Trump understands that American strength is the foundation of American peace. His leadership has reshaped the Middle East, demanded more from our partners, stood firmly with our allies, and restored the understanding that when America speaks, the world should listen. I have believed in President Trump and his America First vision from the beginning, and I am deeply humbled that he has entrusted me with the responsibility of advancing that vision in one of the most strategically important relationships in the world. As a soldier, I served our country in the Middle East. Now, President Trump has called on me to serve there once again, this time as a diplomat. I know the region. I know what is at stake. And I know the enormous opportunity before us. Under President Trump’s leadership, we have a historic opportunity to deepen the U.S. Saudi partnership, strengthen American security, advance our economic and energy interests, confront our common adversaries, and build a more peaceful and prosperous Middle East through American strength. Mr. President, thank you for your trust, your leadership, and the opportunity to serve this country once again. America is worth fighting for. And it will be the honor of a lifetime to carry the President’s America First agenda to Riyadh. God bless President Trump, God bless our men and women serving around the world, and God bless the United States of America.

The Houthis are a foreign Iranian puppet that have nothing to do with the indigenous people of Yemen. The creation of a new Iranian terrorist colony on the Gulf of Aden will not be permitted. The Free Yemen from Iran Act will support the people of Yemen’s efforts to liberate their own country including through security assistance to Yemen’s government & new biting secondary sanctions on middle men, financiers and foreign countries facilitating Houthi activity. The cowardly Houthis hate the people of Yemen and are hated by the people of Yemen. They will go to the trashcan of history like brutal Assad. Free Yemen from Iran

This is so badass!💯
It is the honor of a lifetime to accept President Trump’s nomination to serve as the next United States Ambassador to the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia. Having served in the region both in combat as an Army officer and for two years as a diplomatic liaison in the Kingdom, I understand the strategic importance of the partnership between the United States and Saudi Arabia and the profound responsibility of this position. Service has always defined my life. My immediate family has given more than sixty years to our military. My brother, sister, and I graduated from West Point, served in combat, and, at one point, were all deployed to Iraq simultaneously. I am deeply grateful to President Trump for his confidence in me. When confirmed, I will serve with humility and honor, advance his vision of peace through strength and deepen this vital partnership.

1/ 🧵🧵🧵 🚨 This is one of the most important and heart wrenching threads you will read. It will be difficult to take in, but especially the Christian world needs to read it. ⚠️ Warning: The videos used are for illustration, but they are all from the atrocities perpetrated by Islamists and are graphic and may cause distress. The Islamists and the left keep you focused on Israel and the Jews. They throw out “genocide”, “famine”, “occupation”, “settlers”. But the moment you take Israel out of the equation, the lies and propaganda fall apart. You start to see what is really going on. And then more lies hit you so your focus returns to the Jews. Jihad in Africa is not a vibe. It is villages at night, churches burned, girls taken, heads sent as mail. In the last six months the dead are measured in thousands. Most of the names the world never learns are Christian. The rest are whoever refused the gunmen’s law.

Hothies are withdrawing from the coast, including Hodidah! They couldn’t withstand the pressure for two days, and losing Hodidah port will be a significant achievement for the PLC. The Yemen war is truly unpredictable!
