InfantryDort @infantrydort The Final Word on SECWAR’s Speech
He laid down everything in simple terms. No buzzword bingo. No Ivy League wordsmithing. It was a speech styled in the finest traditions of someone raised professionally at Fort Benning, GA, the home of the Infanty. I recognized it immediately.
He empowered the most senior leaders of the military, giving them the tools to lead without the burdens that have shackled us for a generation.
He even gave them a respectful out. Offering resignation in lieu of continuing in disagreement. Time will tell if they know what to do with such freedom of action.
For everyone crying that he was going to fire them, start martial law, or have them pledge a loyalty oath, what now? You have no idea what to say, do you?
He gave a profound wakeup call. Explaining the standard in a way only an Infantryman can: task, conditions, and standards shrouded in fire and ice. Leaving zero room for doubt on expectations.
So I ask the critics: what now? Because from my foxhole, the only people I see upset are advocates of DEI. Those who “Didn’t Earn It.”
Are you mad a former Major is SECWAR? Then you’ve confused pedigree with purpose.
For the rest of you out there:
The age of entitlements is over. The age of earned excellence is now upon us.
Now get on board, or do us all a favor and get the hell out of the way.

May we be sealed in the Book of Life, with hope and strength to carry us forward.
Challenge is Not the Opposite of Blessing, It's Often the Beginning of It
by Rabbi Mendel Mintz
There’s a pattern in Judaism/Torah.
A pattern we don’t always want but we always need.
When G-d wanted to make David a king… He didn’t give him a crown. He gave him Goliath.
When He wanted to make Joseph a leader… He didn’t give him a palace. He sent him to prison.
When G-d wanted to elevate Moses - he didn’t give him a stage, he gave him decades in the wilderness.
When G-d wanted to make Esther a queen, (in the Purim story), he gave her a crisis and Haman.
Time and again, we see:
G-d doesn’t elevate people through ease, rather through struggle.
Because it’s not despite the challenge that we rise.
It’s through it.
That’s how the human spirit is made and rises higher.
We don’t know what the new year will bring. But we do know this:
We were not born for comfort.
We were born for meaning.
We weren’t placed in this world to hide from its problems — we were created to illuminate and solve them.
And if, this year, you find yourself walking through a wilderness… or standing before your own personal or professional Goliath… Remember: that’s not a detour from your destiny. That is your calling.
May this be the year G-d transforms our struggles into strength…
May this year bring peace and healing to all.
L’shana Tova — may it be a good and sweet new year.

Jack Ciattarelli @Jack4NJ - Elsie’s Burgers & Shakes of Camden County is what New Jersey is all about — family, community, and small business.
They deserve a Governor who fights for them: lower costs, less red tape, more opportunity.
While my opponent went to Washington to get rich, I’m focused on helping New Jersey families and businesses get ahead.
