We have our war against bureaucracy, and it is real. It is a war of attrition that I've told my staff every single day we will wage to win. A war of attrition for four years that we will fight and win.

The bureaucratic nonsense, the political correctness, the red tape that have nothing to do with readiness, warfighting, or lethality.

We are taking a chainsaw to all of it.

We've asked our airborne and rapid reaction forces to deploy at a moment's notice to the Middle East. Standing as an iron shield to protect American bases and American lives from Iranian proxies.

This includes American Army units using HIMARS to help sink the Iranian Navy.

I know the army loves sinking the navy. That's the only navy you're currently allowed to sink.

You can't throw your pronouns at the enemy.

If a deal is struck to end the Iranian conflict because it is believed that the Strait of Hormuz cannot be protected from Iranian terrorism and Iran still possesses the capability to destroy major Gulf oil infrastructure, then Iran will be perceived as being a dominate force requiring a diplomatic solution.

This combination of Iran being perceived as having the ability to terrorize the Strait in perpetuity and the ability the inflict massive damage to Gulf oil infrastructure is a major shift of the balance of power in the region and over time will be a nightmare for Israel.

Also, it makes one wonder why the war started to begin with if these perceptions are accurate. I personally am a skeptic of the idea that Iran cannot be denied the ability to terrorize the Strait and the region cannot protect itself against Iranian military capability.

It is important we get this right.

The shortage of Nvidia’s Grace Blackwell superchips has slowed testing and use of cutting-edge AI tools for sensitive espionage and military operations.

The funding would help expand specialized classified data centers capable of supporting the chips’ heavy power and cooling requirements.

Congress still must approve the funding, though the administration is already redirecting an additional $800 million to accelerate computing expansion.

White House Chief of Staff Susie Wiles authorized continued NSA use of AI models developed by Anthropic despite Pentagon concerns labeling the company a potential supply chain risk.

U.S. officials said Anthropic and the government are finalizing a classified contract allowing continued access to the company’s AI systems, including its “Mythos” model, while also including safeguards preventing the technology from being used on Americans’ data.

If it is perceived in the region that a deal with Iran allows the regime to survive and become more powerful over time, we will have poured gasoline on the conflicts in Lebanon and Iraq.

A deal that is perceived to allow Iran to survive and possess the ability to control the Strait in the future will put Hezbollah in Lebanon and the Shia militias in Iraq on steroids.
