going to miss Karoline Levitt! It is almost for sure the right call for her personally. But we will very much miss her!

I think that what sets Leavitt apart is that the Dems’ flying monkeys in the mainstream media she’s had to face have been some of the worst of all time. It’s not just that, though. What has been most enjoyable about Leavitt’s tenure is the obvious delight she takes in correcting the biased, agenda-driven propagandists in the press room.

Like Leavitt, her Republican predecessors were all very well prepared and excellent at their jobs. Unlike most of them, Karoline Leavitt seemed positively gleeful every time one of the biased water-carriers needed to be told to shut up without explicitly being told to shut up. She’s been President Trump’s most joyful and humorous enforcer. 

helping us set up an effective anti-drone defense system. It’s really good to see that happening.

reason the US military is so competent–and feared. There is a de-centralization of command, and the platoon leader on the ground has “space” to improvise. Well, and they are extremely good at what they do…

Here is the rest of the text, which is very important:

There is a saying that bureaucracies, including militaries, are like jukeboxes. They have routines and can only play from the list. In situations like this there is no relevant record in the jukebox. You have to improvise the new tune from fragments of songs.

There were so many ways to get this wrong and only a few ways to walk away with no KIA.

A lot of the news focus is naturally on the machines, because that is what you can see. But someone told me years ago that air forces are not made out of planes. They are made up of people, and that is what we glimpsed here.

very much changing for the better with Venezuela. Again, you would be a blithering idiot to want this to stop by making Trump have to fight Congress.

On Wednesday, another high-ranking U.S. official came in for a visit: SOUTHCOM Commander Gen. Francis L. Donovan. He was joined by Joseph M. Humire, the current assistant secretary of war for homeland defense and Americas security affairs. Donovan was just confirmed as the new head of SOUTHCOM a couple of weeks ago. 

sounding pretty dang good! It is just amazing how much he has grown, how much his gravitas has increased over the last year. In the past he has at times seemed rather RINO-adjacent. But he sure seems “based” now! I don’t know if he changed or I just misjudged him. Maybe a bit of both…

awesome and amazingly skilled operation! It was a breathtakingly slick operation!

Elite U.S. troops pulled off one of the most dramatic special operations raids in recent memory this week, snatching Venezuelan dictator Nicolás Maduro from his fortified compound in the dead of night. Democrats are flipping out, but that doesn’t change the fact that Trump captured a dictator, and the details of how Delta Force pulled it off so successfully are pretty darn cool.

… Delta operators moved so quickly that Maduro failed to reach a steel panic room, and the couple were taken to the USS Iwo Jima and sent to New York to face drug trafficking and narco-terrorism charges.
