๐Ÿ‡ฎ๐Ÿ‡ฑ๐Ÿ‡บ๐Ÿ‡ธ โ€” One provision of the 2027 National Defense Authorization Act would cause the American and Israeli militaries to become more integrated than America and any other country including the America-NATO relationship, allowing Israel to further influence the United States of America beyond its extensive lobby network that controls most federal American politicians.

The section would enable integration of all manners of defense technology between the US and Israel, allow Israel and the United States to access each others' military data, and further enable co-production of military assets.

Essentially, it would change the US-Israel military relationship from simple aid to integration, and also makes it less transparent by changing it from public legislative voting to private bureaucratic processes.

Lindsey Graham has spent decades answering to the special interests, lobbyists, and donor networks that run Washington.

I wonโ€™t.

This campaign is not funded by political action committees or special interest groups. I donโ€™t owe AIPAC. I donโ€™t owe the establishment. I donโ€™t owe the political class.

I owe nothing to anyone but the people of South Carolina and the principles I refuse to compromise.

On June 9, send Washington a message: South Carolinaโ€™s Senate seat is not for sale.

๐Ÿ‡บ๐Ÿ‡ธ โ€” A person on the flight reports that this was a Russian speaker. He had previously gotten into a confrontation with the flight crew after he was told to sit down after standing up as the plane was taxiing, then reached for a flight attendant at the front of the plane and tried to breach the cockpit as the plane was airborne.

Person on the flight reports that a source at the Dare County Regional Airport in Madison told them they are treating this as an attempted hijacking, and the FBI is on the way. In my opinion, this is likely precautionary.

Truax Field Air National Guard Base in Madison had also readied runways for F-35A "Lightning II" stealth fighter jets in service with the Wisconsin Air National Guard's 115th Fighter Wing.
