You'll have plenty of shekels by then.

The cartels thought they could just poison the American people and hide from justice. So we formed a counter-cartel coalition, designated them terrorists, and hunted them at sea and now on land. More than 70 narco vessels sunk. 218 narco terrorists dead where they should be. Maritime smuggling down at least 65% and dropping even further. Thousands of American lives saved with every drug boat sunk and every shipment prevented.

Indicted and wanted, Nicolás Maduro thought he was untouchable. He was not kidnapped. He was brought to justice by America's best. Victory in one night. Victory in 48 minutes, to be precise. And today he sits in front of an American judge in New York City. Flawless success.

Panama kicked China's Belt and Road Initiative to the curb, and we, along with them, control the canal. The message is simple. This is our hemisphere. Act accordingly.

Our NATO allies, after decades of riding on the American taxpayer in Europe, committed to 5% of GDP for their own defense. Our allies are finally stepping up. Out with being a burden, in with burden sharing. Why? Because President Trump demanded it.

America is the only country on earth, and this military the only one, that could successfully execute and lead all of these operations and efforts. Sheer success. Victories in both Venezuela and Iran. Energy security in our hemisphere in a way none thought possible for a generation. And no nuclear bomb for Iran, ever.

But of course, security doesn't come free. Nobody was lost in the mission in Venezuela, but 18 Americans have given their lives in Operation Epic Fury. We know their names. I've been to Dover. We honor them every day. But their sacrifice only stiffens our resolve.

As it happens, tomorrow is Veterans Day. This year, the operators of Absolute Resolve and the warriors of Epic Fury will mark it for the first time. They stand shoulder to shoulder with the pilots of Midnight Hammer and the sailors of Rough Rider who went before them. They answered the call. They executed. They won. And on the eve of Veterans Day, these resolutions tell every one of them that their service was a crime. Their service was not a crime. These are heroes. And no politician in Washington will tell them otherwise while I hold this office.

President Trump gave this department what it has not had in a generation: a commander-in-chief with the courage to lead and the resolve to win. I stand behind every one of these operations. I was proud to execute them, and I would do it again tomorrow.

And while this defeated politician — defeated, ironically, by a Navy SEAL, I might add — while this defeated politician drafts articles of impeachment, we've delivered the first increase, and a big one, in hostile fire and imminent danger pay in more than 20 years. We've reinstated over 600 service members who were forced out under the previous administration's COVID mandate. All five of our services broke historic recruiting records. The Army, the Navy, the Air Force, the Space Force, the Marines, for two years in a row. In fact, the Marines in FY27 met half of their goal on Day 1. Americans are lining up to serve in President Trump's Department of War. And by the way, to those Marines and all those Marines out there, Semper Fi, and happy 251st birthday today.

Two years of historic recruitment after Biden couldn't recruit anyone. Same with retention, by the way, through the roof. That means the troops that are in are staying. The best of the best, based on merit. Night and day from Biden to Trump. We cut unnecessary senior officer billets by 20% and raised combat performance standards. Through the One Big Beautiful Bill, we're investing in troop pay and housing and health care and advanced weapons and equipment our warfighters actually need to win. That's the record. That's what we're defending.

Make no mistake about what is happening. This is not about me. Politicians in Washington have accused the sailors and the pilots who struck narco-terrorist boats of war crimes for doing their job. Senators, in cute videos, have suggested the same. This resolution is the next step. Put the secretary on trial today, and the men and women who carried out those orders tomorrow. If they want to come for the warriors, they're going to have to come through me.

American Pastor Sounds Alarm After Midterms: ‘255 Muslims Who Cannot Swear Allegiance to the Constitution’ Now Serving — ‘We Have Surrendered’

by Jim Hᴏft Nov. 10, 2026 9:15 am

In a fiery address to his congregation in the days after the November 3 midterms, an American pastor delivered a blunt warning about what he described as an accelerating Islamic political advance into U.S. government at every level.

Displaying the results of Muslim candidates’ historic gains, Pastor Jack Hibbs of Calvary Chapel Chino Hills California told his flock that failure by millions of evangelical Christians to vote had real consequences, and that churches must stop functioning as “irrelevant social clubs” and start organizing as voting bases the way mosques do.

“Ladies and gentlemen, those of you who didn’t vote, you voted,” Hibbs said.

“255 Muslims who cannot, cannot swear allegiance to the Constitution. It is forbidden in Islam. They must swear allegiance to Sharia law, which is a completely different government. On Tuesday, the United States of America said no to the republic and yes to the very government and military and religion that hit us on September 11th, 2001. We have surrendered. It’s their party now.”

Hibbs continued:“Millions of Evangelical Christians failed to vote during the midterms. Look at the consequences. Most churches are now irrelevant social clubs.”

He pointed to more than 160 Muslim candidates who ran, a record 97 who won or were reelected across federal, state, and local offices in 21 states, and eight Muslims set to serve in Congress, including Michigan’s Abdul El-Sayed, the first Muslim elected to the U.S. Senate.

“He’s right it’s time to fight for your country. It’s time to use churches as voting bases just like Muslims do with mosques. If we don’t get serious about this, we will fall to Islam. The proof is as clear as day. If Texas goes down, Islam knows the nation falls. Prepare your children, prepare your hearts, prepare your faith.”

The 255 figure aligns with the Council on American-Islamic Relations (CAIR) and CAIR Action’s August 2026 Directory of Elected Muslim Officials, which identified a record 255 Muslim elected officials and judges already serving across 26 states before the midterms, concentrated in local government, school boards, and state legislatures, with New Jersey, Michigan, and California leading.

CAIR later reported that at least 97 Muslim candidates won or were reelected in the midterms (with more still leading or too close to call), from a tracked pool of roughly 168 who advanced past primaries.

Eight are headed to Congress: incumbents Ilhan Omar, Rashida Tlaib, André Carson, and Lateefah Simon, plus newcomers including Adam Hamawy (New Jersey), Darializa Avila Chevalier (New York), and Aisha Wahab (California, race pending in some counts), alongside Sen.-elect El-Sayed.

Whos your daddy

Reporter: There's been some reporting of the IRGC rearming in this interim period of ceasefire that has proliferated behind the blockade, and the President has signaled that we may not resume kinetic operations. So my question is, how will the IRGC remain degraded per the Epic Fury objectives if we are not resuming this kinetic activity? And then how confident are you in maintaining nuclear degradation of Iran?

Secretary Hegseth: Well, we can maintain oversight and nuclear degradation, as the President has talked about. We're able to maintain oversight and visibility of those nuclear sites, and if we saw the kind of nefarious activity that required action, we would take it. The President has made it clear about what we can see from space and what we can read on their name tapes. So we will watch that on a lot of levels very, very closely.

As far as the blockade is concerned, it's been ironclad. Nothing has gotten through. When you can't fund your energy economy, you have to make very difficult choices. And when you combine that with almost no defense industrial base, and a limited nuclear industrial base, and the damage that was done before that, their ability to reconstitute is much less than ours. So we know they'll attempt to. This is the number one, the world's number one state sponsor of terrorism, committed to terrorism. They've built tunnels and caves and all that. We know that they're going to attempt to reconstitute. We know that we are in a much stronger position nonetheless going forward.

Cowboy is always right. Anyone that disagrees is too busy being a smart alec. Read Article 2 of the US Constitution, can you do that for me?

Article II of the United States Constitution is the primary source of the President's authority to safeguard American lives.
