If Joe Biden's son-in-law was flying around the Middle East as an unofficial Secretary of State while also working on business deals for his company with the same people he was meeting with on behalf of the US government, I'm pretty sure it would be a bigger story 🤔
“In conclusion, he is the walrus. Goo-goo-g’joob.”
I am able to walk and chew gum at the same time, Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth said. "The only thing prohibiting me from walking and chewing gum at the same time is that I'm not able to," he said. "It is possible for me to do so were I capable of doing that."
Keep digging, Pete!
“More fake news from CNN—reports that the Trump administration underestimated the Iran war’s impact on the Strait of Hormuz,” Hegseth said. “It’s a fundamentally unserious report. The sooner David Ellison takes over that network, the better.”

Shout out to all the right- and left-wingers who pretended to believe he was the anti-war candidate in 2016, 2020, and 2024.
For a lot of Iranians, and certainly some if not many American soldiers, it means death and suffering and misery and pain.
