This is a MAJOR strategic failure. Ukraine offered battle-proven technology to combat the EXACT Iranian drones we’re now fighting in the Middle East. The Trump Administration rejected that help. www.axios.com/2026/03/10/u...

Exclusive: U.S. dismissed Ukraine deal for anti-Iran drone tech last year
Snubbing Ukraine's offer ranks as one of the U.S.'s biggest tactical miscalculations before the war, officials say.

Brian Kilmeade blamed Americans for getting trapped in the Middle East. His co-host Ainsley Earhardt attempted to save the segment by pointing out that many Americans were in the Middle East for work. I added a zoom to show his reaction.

Must-read story in the WSJ about Kristi Noem and Corey Lewandowski. Full Story: on.wsj.com/4tEsyRO
In the blanket incident, Noem had to switch planes after a maintenance issue was discovered, but her blanket wasn't moved to the second plane, according to the people familiar with the incident. The Coast Guard pilot was initially fired and told to take a commercial flight home when they reached their destination. They eventually reinstated the pilot because no one else was available to fly them home.
The DHS spokeswoman didn't address the episode but said the secretary has "made personnel decisions to deliver excellence."
In an incident last year that rankled some senior staff at the agency, Lewandowski made it known to top ICE officials that he wanted to be issued a law-enforcement badge and a federally issued gun, according to people familiar with his push. Officials are typically only issued a badge and a gun after undergoing law-enforcement training.
