Joe Kent ~ @joekent16jan19 X.com After much reflection, I have decided to resign from my position as Director of the National Counterterrorism Center, effective today. I cannot in good conscience support the ongoing war in Iran. Iran posed no imminent threat to our nation, and it is clear that we started this war due to pressure from Israel and its powerful American lobby. It has been an honor serving under @POTUS and @DNIGabbard and leading the professionals at NCTC. May God bless America.
Director of National Intelligence National Counterterrorism Center President Trump, After much reflection, I have decided to resign from my position as Director of the National Counterterrorism Center, effective today. I cannot in good conscience support the ongoing war in Iran. Iran posed no imminent threat to our nation, and it is clear that we started this war due to pressure from Israel and its powerful American lobby. I support the values and the foreign policies that you campaigned on in 2016, 2020, 2024, which you enacted in your first term. Until June of 2025, you understood that the wars in the Middle East were a trap that robbed America of the precious lives of our patriots and depleted the wealth and prosperity of our nation. In your first administration, you understood better than any modern President how to decisively apply military power without getting us drawn into never-ending wars. You demonstrated this by killing Qasam Solamani and by defeating ISIS. Early in this administration, high-ranking Israeli officials and influential members of the American media deployed a misinformation campaign that wholly undermined your America First platform and sowed pro-war sentiments to encourage a war with Iran. This echo chamber was used to deceive you into believing that Iran posed an imminent threat to the United States, and that should you strike now, there was a clear path to a swift victory. This was a lie and is the same tactic the Israelis used to draw us into the disastrous Iraq war that cost our nation the lives of thousands of our best men and women. We cannot make this mistake again. As a veteran who deployed to combat 11 times and as a Gold Star husband who lost my beloved vife Shannon in a war manufactured by Israel, I cannot support sending the next generation of to fight and die in a war that serves no benefit to the American people nor justifies the cost of I pray that you will reflect upon what we are doing in Iran, and who we are doing it for.…

At the airport this morning I heard that a flight to Salt Lake City was cancelled because there was no crew to fly the plane.
Hello from the rollercoaster in the sky that is the flight I’m on! Welcome to my in-flight panic attack, where I look around my fellow passengers and wonder why they aren’t all screaming! Some are even sleeping! HOW IS THAT POSSIBLE! What’s great is that climate change is making this SO MUCH WORSE!
Do any other working parents feel incredibly morose the night before a big work trip? Boy and Spouse are a-ok and I’m moping around like I’m going into space, not a few airplanes. Ooof.
Sinners WAS better. Markedly better. It was the foundation on which OBAA rested.

BREAKING Australia says won't send navy ship to Strait of Hormuz after Trump request
At the local playground and there’s a kid walking around quietly saying “shit…shit…shit…” They’re going to grow up to be a great American.
Meanwhile Russia has been helping Iran target US forces and the US has asked Ukraine for help fighting Iranian drones.

It’s comforting to think this is the reason why Trump started a war with Iran b/c the reality - he just wanted to - is worse. Don’t overestimate the amount the public cares about children and women. Everybody who’s anybody either knew about or cavorted with Epstein and nothing happened.
According to CNN there’s a “strong odor” coming from a VA-based ATC tower. One can only hope it’s something benign, like RFK Jr in his exercise jeans doing pull-ups to motivate the unpaid air traffic controllers.
Yesterday at this time I was in a tank top. Then it got cooler and rained a whole lot. Then this morning is got real cold and snowed. Then it rained. Now it’s sunny and melting the snow. Did we live thru a year of weather? Is it 2027 now? How’d the midterms go?
$11.3 billion is a third of USAID's annual budget. It could fund USIP for 205 years.

It doesn’t matter whether the rate of global warming is increasing. It’ll never cease to amaze me that people don’t care that it’s happening at all. It should be the most alarming thing ever.

A US submarine sinking a lonely, dinky Iranian surface ship an ocean away from the theater of the main conflict—and 9000
miles from North America—makes it pretty clear the US is fighting a general war, without the declaration required by the Constitution. www.reuters.com/world/asia-p...

Amazing how this Administration’s foreign policy goes from strength to strength. What could be a better plan to bring peace and democracy than by setting up an ethnic minority to get absolutely slaughtered again.

If you think this Iran war is a distraction from Epstein you’re delusional. No one cares about sexual abuse of women and girls that much.
