Guess you can dig for a different source....
Until then, we’re stuck with this one.
To be fair, Trump conducted air strikes as well.
Pentagon carries out first air strike in Somalia under Biden
The U.S. military on Tuesday conducted an air strike against an al-Qaeda-affiliated group in Somalia, the first such strike in the country since President Biden took office, multiple outlets have reported.
The strike on the al-Shabaab militant group, first reported by Agence France-Presse, took place “in the vicinity of Galkayo, Somalia,” about 430 miles northeast of Mogadishu, Pentagon spokeswoman Cindi King said in a statement to the outlet.
U.S. Africa Command (AFRICOM) carried out the single air strike in coordination with the Somali government.

Talk about karma ...
Sweden just won 3-0 over the woke, anti-American kneeler women’s soccer team in the first round of the Tokyo Olympics.
I can’t stop laughing.
“Arizona Attorney General Mark Brnovich has filed an amended complaint and moved for a preliminary injunction against the Biden administration’s termination of border wall construction and the Remain-in-Mexico policy, saying the measures violated the National Environmental Protection Act (NEPA).
Brnovich first presented his lawsuit against the Department of Homeland Security (DHS) in April, alleging the administration has not complied with its obligations under NEPA.
Biden fulfilled his campaign promise and ended border wall construction on his first day in office by freezing the military funding used and ending the national emergency declaration along the border that former President Donald Trump instigated to finance construction.
Biden also ended the Trump administration’s Remain-in-Mexico policy, more officially known as the Migrant Protection Protocols (MPP), which kept migrants in Mexico until their hearings were processed. DHS Secretary Alejandro Mayorkas said in the memo ending MPP that it did not “adequately or sustainably enhance border management.”

The media has created an environment where Dems can do their fake righteous PR stunts and be made into heroes instead of clowns. Theres no downside to them for pulling even the most hypocritical stunt. Even if they’re anything but, they get called and even call themselves “Brave”

All these folks had to do was go to work instead of on a cross-country vanity trip and all of this - the new cases, the PR debacle, etc. - could’ve been avoided. twitter.com/genefortexas/s…
Here is an interesting fact: During the 3-½ years of World War 2 that started with the Japanese bombing of Pearl Harbor in December 1941 and ended with the Surrender of Germany and Japan in 1945, “The People of the U.S.A.” produced the following:
22 aircraft carriers,
8 battleships,
48 cruisers,
349 destroyers,
420 destroyer escorts,
203 submarines,
34 million tons of merchant ships,
100,000 fighter aircraft,
98,000 bombers,
24,000 transport aircraft,
58,000 training aircraft,
93,000 tanks,
257,000 artillery pieces,
105,000 mortars,
3,000,000 machine guns, and
2,500,000 military trucks.
We put 16.1 million men in uniform in the various armed services, invaded Africa, invaded Sicily and Italy, won the battle for the Atlantic, planned and executed D-Day, marched across the Pacific and Europe, developed the atomic bomb, and ultimately conquered Japan and Germany.
It’s worth noting, that during the almost exact amount of time, the Obama Administration couldn’t even build a web site that worked.
It’s past time for America to get back to work.

Whoa!😳🤯💥
Incredible figures!
And it took 13 years to complete One World Center in New York City.
One World Center is the replacement for the Twin Towers complex that was destroyed by muslim terrorists on 9-11-2001.
On the other hand, in 1930-1931 the 102 story high Empire State Building was constructed in only 1 year, 45 days.
.
Is it fair to say, they got their a$$es kicked??
:D
That is really an impressive amount of facts.
No wonder they are called “The Greatest Generation.”
Could this generation raise to the task if called on.
How long has it been since we won a war?
And it’s not the fighting men and women’s fault.
This was an acquaintance of mine. I was aware that he had passed, but for some reason we didn’t know the whole story.
Now we do.

Tennessee Man Died After He Was ‘Swatted’ by People Targeting His Twitter Handle
A Tennessee man died last year after being targeted by a “swatting” call by someone who wanted him to give up his Twitter handle.
Mark Herring, 60, owned the Twitter handle @Tennessee. According to Newsweek, he chose the handle when Twitter was in its infancy because he loved his home state and the Tennessee Volunteers.
Over the years, Herring received many offers to sell the Twitter handle, but he always refused. Sometimes, a prospective buyer would get disgruntled at his refusal to sell.
But on April 27, 2020, things took a deadly turn.
According to WKRN-TV, several of Herring’s relatives began getting pizza deliveries that they had not ordered. Two of Herring’s daughters and his ex-wife got multiple pizzas — all cash on delivery. Alarmed, they began to reach out to Herring, but got no response.
Herring’s son-in-law finally got through to Herring’s live-in girlfriend. “She said, ‘everything is not OK. I’m in the back of a cop car. I got to go,’” Gary Hooge tells WKRN.
Police had received a call from Herring’s number, claiming that Herring had killed a woman on the property. Officers responded to the scene, guns drawn. They met Herring on his porch and demanded that he put his hands up. That’s when Herring had a massive and fatal heart attack.
The family soon learned that Herring had received a demand from two people who wanted his Twitter handle. He refused, and the people allegedly began intimidation tactics to force him to sell.
Police now say that two minors — one from Tennessee and one from the United Kingdom — were responsible for the events of April 27, 2020. The American minor has since turned 18 and is being charged as an adult. The alleged British co-conspirator is still a minor and will not be extradited to the United States.
According to documents filed in Western Tennessee District Court, Shane Sonderman pleaded guilty in March to wire fraud/conspiracy; interstate communication of threats; false information and hoaxes; and conspiracy. According to the charging documents, Sonderman had six other victims across the country. Only Herring died.
The court filing states that “as part of the harassment campaign, defendant Sonderman and his coconspirators would place calls to emergency service dispatchers or 911 dispatchers, claiming that an emergency was in progress at the residence of the owner of the desired” social media handle.
Swatting is defined as generating an emergency law enforcement response against a target victim under false pretenses. Swatters can do this by making phone calls to 911 — sometimes mimicking the victim’s phone number — and falsely reporting a violent emergency situation.
Court documents state that Sonderman is currently awaiting sentencing. An attorney for Sonderman did not immediately return PEOPLE’s call for comment.
###############
My understanding is the sentencing is scheduled for today.
That is a terrible story.
