Cristiano Ronaldo, the GREAT soccer (football!) player, just called to thank me for his tour this week of the White House and Oval Office.

What an incredible guy he is, not only as an athlete, but as a person. You just don’t get any better!!!

Dear American friends, Europe is your closest ally, not your problem.

And we have common enemies. At least that’s how it has been in the last 80 years.

We need to stick to this, this is the only reasonable strategy of our common security. Unless something has changed.

Israel has renewed its request for the Lebanese Army to raid several civilian homes in the south, claiming they contain military targets or weapons.

Such raids require political approval and judicial authorization.

The army plans to take Arab and foreign military attachés, as well as several ambassadors, on a tour next week to review the implementation of the first phase of its plan south of the Litani and its ongoing missions across Lebanon.

The military side of the [US-led ceasefire monitoring] mechanism meeting was less positive than the civilian side, after U.S. envoy Ortagus brought up remarks she conveyed from Netanyahu saying that the Lebanese Army is not carrying out its duties.

If you look at actual policies, Donald Trump is the true and rightful heir of Ronald Reagan.

Trump can and will take decisive military action as he sees fit to defend our nation's interest.

Let no country on Earth doubt that for a moment.

Make no mistake about it, Trump is hell-bent on maintaining and accelerating the most powerful military the world has ever seen.

The most powerful, the most lethal, and American-made. The arsenal of freedom.

We're also restoring the warrior ethos back to basics, readiness, accountability, standards, discipline, lethality.

We are the strength department, and we stand ready to wield that sword as President Tump directs.

Like President Reagan, President Trump is dedicated to both sides of the peace through strength coin.

Not just using that phrase as a thin veil for warmongering. In less than a year, President Trump has secured eight major peace deals.

The opposite of peace through strength is war through weakness.

Wokeness, weakness and war, all specialties of Joe Biden and Lloyd Austin.

I was recently tempted when the discussion went out about hitting drug boats to use the phrase, "Righteous strike."

But then my team counseled me against it and said, "Sir, that was the phrase used by Mark Milley when a family of Afghans was struck."

Weakness, wokeness, war.
