I didn’t fight two wars and lose two legs to be told I can’t spend time with my family. As a matter of fact, I did it so YOU could choose how YOU spend your thanksgiving. Honor sacrifice and tell the commies to shove it.
My mom lost her mom, husband and mother-in-law in the past 3 months and has been struggling herself. My sister took her to the ER tonight for an anxiety attack and she is being scanned for a possible blood clot in her lungs. If you pray, please do. Thanks!
Had my knees “taken” from me fighting for this country, and I literally couldn’t wait to stand for it again. Kneeling may not mean you hate this country, but it certainly means you take it’s freedoms and opportunity for granted. Life isn’t fair, but here you can succeed anyway🇺🇸
I wake up everyday and wrestle anger, resentment and sadness. Thankfully, I have joy, hope and love in my corner. Feed the good wolf. You don’t need to find hope, you merely need to choose. Two pictures, same circumstance, same man. Fate is a choice.
If you want to know what betrayal is? Have a man who commanded you to die/lose limbs fighting the Taliban address the world speaking glowingly about the Taliban.
I served under a POTUS who wouldn’t even let me kill the terrorists trying to kill me. I couldn’t imagine what it must feel like to serve under a POTUS that’d take out a top target if I were killed by them. 🇺🇸
I’m not mad, I’m not outraged, I’m not partisan.
Today I’m a Marine, an American, and a tired, hurting war Veteran.
Today, I’m sad, I’m heartbroken, and for the first time in my life I have no belief that I am safe or secure living in the country I love.
If
@JoeBiden
threatened the Taliban the way he just threatened Americans who don’t want to wear a mask or get the vax he might have ended the war in Afghanistan.
A cop friend just texted me that the “Latin Kings” sent a message to the cops in his town that they would “take care” of the rioters and to not come around. Are we in an episode of SOA??
The same kind who enlists at 19, serves 8 years, fights 2 wars, loses both of his legs and spends the rest of his lucky life trying to make the world a better place I suppose.
I’ve laid dying on a battlefield, and atrophied in a hospital. I’ve been humiliated by irresponsible decisions, crippled by addiction, exhausted by heartache and paralyzed by fear… but I have never been so weak as to not want to protect and provide for my children. God’s love.
I went through
@ChickfilA
drive-thru yesterday and when she handed me my food I told her I hadn’t paid... she spoke to the outside attendant that took my order, looked back at me and said, “she took care of your order, thank you for your service”
These are 19 year olds 😳🇺🇸
Lying on the dirt in Afghanistan, bleeding from almost three severed limbs, breathing with a punctured lung, both arms mangled, my eye swelling shut all I could think about was how I’d let them down. My brothers. How they’d have to work harder to replace me. We lost Floyd a few…
You have disgraced our people and dishonored our sacrifice. You are a weak lying snake oil salesman and we see you. We see who you are now more than even. God have mercy on your soul, 50 years is a long time to lie, cheat and steal from your own people.
@JoeBiden
Going through
@ATLairport
@TSA
pre-check this morning. I wear loose fitting shorts whenever I fly so I can pull them up and expose my entire prosthesis on each side. After being scanned, I did just that. The agent hesitated, then began to pat me down, he was incredibly…
A tragic injury from military service doesn’t exempt you from criticism for the choices you make and rhetoric you speak In a political career you sought out.
You can be more (or less) than your injury, trust me! 🇺🇸
-a credible source
I woke this morning at around 5:30am to my mom in a complete hysteric. When I got to my guest room across the house I found my sister delivering CPR to my dad who was unconscious and no breathing and with no pulse. We performed CPR for 10-20 minutes until EMS arrive
I just spoke with a retired 4-star general who commanded troops in Afghanistan. Before we ended the conversation his voice was cracking. He understands the feeling so many of us have, I appreciate him taking the time to tell me our sacrificed mattered. SeperFi
3000 of my brothers are deployed to a true powder keg situation, against an enemy who’s been as unrelenting as they’ve been successful attacking us on the battlefield-their turf, to rescue Americans from a city under siege, and our
@POTUS
is silent… on vacation.
Gold star father, Steve Nikoui, on with
@TuckerCarlson
is so inspiring. His voice just cracked and now I’m balling. I can’t put words to how I feel. It’s like every terrible moment of the last 15yrs-watching my brothers fall-has flooded back. I’m just heartbroken all over again
I’ve been to war twice... as a bomb (EOD) tech, I’m a dad and I regularly navigate the streets of NYC with robot legs... I have no idea what “visceral anxiety” feels like.
I’ve been so poor shit on a shingle was a delicacy, so poor we used plywood to cover the holes in the floor of our trailer, so poor I didn’t know what to wear to LongHorn (at 16) for my g/f’s birthday.
But I ain’t never been so poor I was mad at someone else for not being poor.
Our President
@JoeBiden
has betrayed our service and sacrifice in this long war. He is unashamed, and unrelenting in this betrayal. He has lied to our faces and asked us all to smile about it. There is no honor, no courage, no commitment from our leaders. We have lost.
I lost my legs in August 2010. I left Walter Reed in October that year without fanfare. Maybe I should go back and leave again with a camera and script. People would really dig it!
We lost my maternal grandmother the week before thanksgiving, my dad the week after and my paternal grandmother is in ICU today. Please pray for her. Thanks
This press conference by General McKenzie has done more to undermine our service and sacrifice than anything I’ve seen in the 11 years since my injury.
So Chris Wallace asks
@Comey
“if you were still director and all this came out, would you resign?” His literal answer 😳 was...
“No, there were mistakes made far more consequential when I was director”
Bro, wow.
Actually you just got ROCKED by teens on TikTok who flooded the Trump campaign w/ fake ticket reservations & tricked you into believing a million people wanted your white supremacist open mic enough to pack an arena during COVID
Shout out to Zoomers. Y’all make me so proud. ☺️
It’s not that I don’t empathize w/Ukraine, or even have an 18 year old Marine inside me saying, “let’s go defend these people!” I simply don’t trust this administration to make good decisions with our blood and treasure. It’s about our leaders’ incompetence, not our people’e will
Walking to gate C68 from A25 in the
@DENAirport
is trek. Apparently taking my legs off to wipe the sweat and blood out of my liners really upset this lady across from me. Thank you for my service 😂😂
Men, if you have a daughter, be her protector, her provider, her super hero. Be a weathered oak in a hurricane. Hold her hand, kiss her forehead and tell her she is a princess. If for no other reason than she deserves it, be her warrior.
When you see Hamas holding American guns and you have a half dozen legitimate paths to follow on how they got them… Afghanistan, Ukraine, Saudi Arabia, etc. We arm the devils and fund the wars.
Today Americans should celebrate. The death of this villain is brought to you by years of deployments, hundreds of US troops laying down their lives and a generation determined to seek vengeance and justice abroad so terror doesn’t strike our home.
Afghanistan veterans should peacefully march on washington and make sure
@JoeBiden
knows we won’t let our brothers and sister be murdered for without a fight.
Not many people have to fight for their life physically, and even fewer do it again legally. I didn’t sit on the jury, or in the courtroom, but every shred of publicly available evidence supported his innocence. The courage of this jury should not go unnoticed.
Burying a good friend and Warrior today in Madison Alabama. I’ll be in Nashville Tonight with one of our brothers celebrating his life. Some windshield time to try and make sense of how these guys can survive the worst of war and died to cancer.
I’m putting this here for the world to see as a means of keeping myself accountable. I’ve been on Oxycodone for about 5yrs. 1yr ago I was taking up to 50mg/day. In the last year I’ve gotten down to 20mg/day and this week 7.5mg/day and this script runs out this weekend-Im done 😅
Thread: Excuses my vulgar tweet. I’m absolutely furious right now.
@JoeBiden
just told a story about a Marine veteran with “a traumatic brain injury” running over a woman, (I assume he meant PTSD) killing her and her dog, then driving off with her body and “molesting” her..
Conservatives,
@rickygervais
isn’t “on your side” he’s just courageously honest about the people with whom he works and exists. That’s much better and more genuine than any party line.
Let me assure you all as, you know one of those who’ve actually fought in this war, this presser was a candid and necessary description of a historic operation. American people should celebrate the killing of a villain and know that we will enact justice globally.
I don’t know that I’m still a warrior, but I wage war every day. I bring all the courage, fear, and anger I can to the pain, frustration and insecurity that would stop me from dawning these legs and a (sometimes) genuine smile. Adversity is constant, fight back and be merry.
We willingly gave limbs, lives and eternal peace for this war. And you couldn’t even give us the dignity of quitting with honor. To hell with
@JoeBiden
and if this is what any previous POTUS had in mind, to hell with them to. We don’t have the luxury of being partisan on this
The Taliban took my legs. But a well placed 20lbs of Ammonia Nitrate and Aluminum powder wasn’t enough to take my will to get shit done anyway. Don’t make resolutions, remove excuses. It’s always going to be difficult, but also worth it. Happy 2022!
You don’t carry a gun to make all things equal for someone who attacks you. We carry firearms to have a definitive advantage over an aggressor… We are under no obligation to protect our aggressor’s life by abstaining from using a weapon to protect our own life.
Just so everyone understands, the Women’s team was offered the same pay structure as the men’s team. However, that would tie their salary to metrics like revenue and likely decrease their salaries... meaning they already have a better deal than the men’s team. The judge is right
As a man who’s only alive today because of relentless work of the men and women saving lives there, to hell with your blind hate.
Shock jock political commentary is for unimaginative agenda driven hacks. You’re not better than that, but we can demand you fix yourself or go away
Some days I’m just out of patience. I’ve had these legs for 12 years. I don’t ever mean to be rude, but is it ok if I don’t want to field the same questions for the 5th time today because I had the audacity to go out in public? They’re not “awesome” for me. They’re just necessary
I don’t have a “stylist” and Fox doesn’t tell me/pick out what to wear. I dress myself😵💫 I’m so sorry the fit of my clothes is bothering some of you. Maybe try listening to my words, or contemplating the amazing knowledge our guests bring to important topics!
🇺🇸love y’all!
Kyle Rittenhouse did at 17/18 years old what our
@POTUS
has never done in 40 years of public office:
-defended his community against criminals
-fought for the rights of fellow citizens (with his own life on the line)
-won over 100% of voters by telling them the truth.
I’m 3 episodes into this “Yellowstone” It’s so fake. The youngest son is supposedly a SEAL, but he’s met at least a dozen people and hasn’t told one of them about it, hasn’t said hooyah, and hasn’t even mentioned BUDS at all, and carries a Glock, not even a Gucci Glock. Fake news
Noah Feldman is that guy at the party who traps you in a corner and screams above the music to brag about his performance on the debate team a decade ago.
Joe Biden gave the Taliban military weapons. Not “military style” or “assault weapons” he gave them select fire rifles, drones, up armored vehicles and an assortment of munitions.
If he makes it, the doctor seemed pretty certain he won’t have much brain function and we’ve discussed DNR. Thank you all so much for praying. Simply having him for now, if only to say goodbye, means everything atm. Your prayers didn’t fall short.

@OANN
T-shirt, just remember they praised
@Kaepernick7
for wearing a murderous dictator, a murderer and pig socks. Neither deserves professional repercussions for exercising their free speech, but one is absolutely worse:
Fair warning. I go to NYC for work, and walk on these side walks. If you do this to me or in front of me, God help us both.
To every man in this scene that didn’t have the instinct to respond accordingly, I hope you do not procreate, we need rid of your kind.
Breaks my literal heart. What kind of country are we when our
@POTUS
blocks blue collar Americans from earning a living by the sweat of our brow and the craft of our hands. This is truly sickening. Shame on you
@JoeBiden
I remember this day well. It was the day I realized I wouldn’t get out of Afghanistan without reaping the full consequence of playing with bombs for a living. Still, we persisted 😏🦾🦿
