The fake reflecting pool case against David Hearn has been dropped. Now it's time for Todd Blanche, Jeanine Pirro, and anyone else complicit in this political hit job to be fired and prosecuted themselves. This banana republic stuff can't be normalized. www.nytimes.com/2026/07/31/u...

It is strategic malpractice at its worst that the US and Europe have not outfitted Ukraine with a proper combat air force. They're surviving on bravery and 80s vintage F16s/ Mirages. They would win and defeat Russian evil if given the proper equipment. www.yahoo.com/news/world/a...
Ukraine’s F-16s are being worn out from intercepting Russian drones
Ukrainian F-16s have destroyed more than 2,500 one-way attack drones, but repeated interceptions are wearing out the country's small fleet.

Just heard an amazing AI talk by Dr Heather Collins. In 5 years, the top 10% of us will be those who use AI to augment their creativity, The bottom 90% will be those who offload their intellectual effort to AI.
If I’m ever elected president, I will make Pluto the 9th planet again.
Smog from the Canadian wildfires, as seen on the Chesapeake Bay. We only have one planet folks. We need to take care of it and leave it better than we found it for our grandchildren.
Americans, meet your new (probable) head of our intelligence community:

Ukraine is out of Patriot missiles and that’s allowing Russian ballistic missiles to kill civilians. Its time to be the arsenal of democracy ASAP and get them the air defenses that they need.
250 years ago Americans fought for their freedom and cast off the bonds from their colonial oppressor. Today Ukraine is doing that very same thing, and the US is lucky to have a friend like her. I love thinking of Ukraine celebrating their 250th birthday like we are today!
Earn This! To celebrate America’s 250th, I reflect on how to honor the sacrifices that so many have made for our freedom: terryvirts.substack.com/p/earn-this

Russia launched its most massive attack yet against Kyiv yesterday, killing at least 27. The US response? Nothing. Our Russian counterintelligence ecosystem remains kneecapped as we've refused to implement meaningful 3rd party sanctions. bbc.com/news/article...
'Most massive' Russian attack on Kyiv kills at least 27
The latest barrage deployed the largest number of weapons on the capital and hit locations over a wide area.

I had a great conversation with the new Ukrainian Consul General in Houston, Vitalii Moshkivskyi. We talked about Ukrainian food, language, drones, and winning the war against Russia.
The World Cup is a great reminder that we have a pretty great country, and that people from around the world like each other and love getting together to party!
Here's an interesting #YachtWatch: the yacht GRACEFUL, rumored to be one of Putin's personal yachts, is on the move! And it is accompanied by a Russian navy ship. Currently just north of Denmark and heading into the North Sea. 1/
