John Ʌ Konrad V @johnkonrad - It hasn’t even been a week and he already is building excitement for shipbuilding!
This is the way.

President Trump’s commission to our military is simple: to achieve Peace Through Strength. 
The USS Idaho joins the fleet ready to answer the call to action, in any ocean, at any time.

John Ʌ Konrad V @johnkonrad - Thanks to everyone DMing to ask if I’m okay after the White House Correspondents Dinner.
But y’all are retarded.
Yes, I am a member of the New Pentagon Press Corps. I say “New” because the old Pentagon Press Corps Association still exists.
In what world did you think they’d invite me to join and attend their dinners?
Yes, I have a Pentagon press pass. No, it does not get me access to the White House.
Hell, it doesn’t even get me into the Pentagon anymore except during press briefings, and those of us outside the swamp rarely get enough notice to attend.
The old press corps gets to attend those briefings too.
Hell, it didn’t even get me an interview with the Secretary of the Navy or the CNO at the Navy Conference.
The old press corps got those.
Hell, it doesn’t get me anywhere near the action in the Middle East.
Yes, I was invited to the White House many times last year. No, I have not been invited a single time this year.
Yes, the blow-up over conservative influencers (Tucker, Shapiro, Candace, Fuentes, etc) pushed this administration to cozy up to traditional press and second-guess everyone who had absolutely nothing to do with that mess.
No, I don’t attend circle jerks of any kind. Especially black-tie events in DC.
No, I do not want invites to retarded DC press events.
Yes, skipping press circle jerks hurts my business. No, I don’t care.
Democrat, Republican, Libertarian, Marxist, Independent: doesn’t matter what your party is. You’re either inside the circle jerk or outside it.
Thankfully, I’m outside.
We aren’t going to lose the midterms because Trump is doing a bad job. This administration is doing a fantastic job.
We are certain to lose for three reasons:
1.Republicans in Congress suck.
2.This administration ejected Elon, who was our only real chance to drain the swamp of retards.
3.This administration continues to platform hostile press and influencers at the expense of those of us who actually report the great things they are doing.
It’s a club, and you and I ain’t in it.
MAGA wins when Trump officials spend time on farms in Butler, behind the counter at McDonald’s, and driving garbage trucks. 
MAGA loses when America sees the cabinet rubbing elbows with “journalists” at black-tie events in DC, at the White House, or on Air Force One.
That’s a hard fact.
P.S. This isn’t anti-Trump. It’s not me begging for invites. I want none. It’s a warning: if this administration keeps platforming MSM courtiers and garbage influencers, the hostility will keep escalating and the shootings will continue.
THEY are breaking the country, not the independent press refusing to clap. And the Trump Admin, who IMHO is doing a great job, can’t help itself from playing their idiotic games.
Hegseth was right. The only way to deal with today’s media is with a swift kick in the ass out the door. NOT by rescheduling their garbage after you almost get shot at their retarded event.
