They act like he was flying the plane or something. I doubt “they” did much more then physically put his finger on a map and tell him to say ok.

Just what we need, more like Ilhan Omar flooding our country. Wasn’t “Blackhawk Down” enough of a warning?

Joe Stolen is as incompetent as Bill Clinton when it comes to being a commander in chief of our armed forces, with an even less ready array of Special Forces.

It looks like we’re back to the days where President Johnson, holed up in the Oval Office by his unpopularity over the Viet Nam war, spent his time picking bombing targets for the Air Force.

President Trump destroyed ISIS by DELEGATING responsibility to the military. You can never win any conflict when making tactical decisions from the Oval Office.

Biden loses his place during sex and the left thinks he can run this country.
Media and democrats are in a prolonged slobbering kiss fest while feeling each other up.
