The overly clever language in the new National Security Strategy "may work in political speeches, but it is meaningless to military planners and confusing to allied partners who depend on clarity to design their own strategies."
New National Security Strategy Is Heavy on Rhetoric, Light on Detail
Without explaining how national means can be used to achieve desired ends, the strategy is just empty rhetoric.

And what I have to say about that is maybe CNN should go hard core on Trump’s mental state like they did Biden. After all their alignment with Trump during campaign is what got them here.

Trump has pardoned huge amounts of fraud and truly heinous crimes.

In particular, he's pardoned more corrupt elected officials than any other President, and it's not particularly close.

This President is a crook through and through.

Corporations and ultra-rich individuals with numerous business interests cannot be trusted to prioritize the public’s right to know over their own bottom lines.

When billionaire conglomerates take control of media, it’s not a win for free speech. It’s a win for oligarchy.
If Paramount is allowed to take over Warner Bros. Discovery, the conservative billionaire Ellison family will control:

Paramount Studios
CBS
CNN
MTV
HBO
Comedy Central
Nickelodeon
Cartoon Network
Warner Bros.
DC Studios
Fandango
New Line Cinema
TNT Sports
TBS
Oracle

And more.

In 2016, Pete Hegseth warned that Trump would pressure the military to break the law and would abandon anyone who upheld the law. They all knew Trump was a threat to lawful command. Their hypocrisy isn't new-it's the whole project.

Of course criminal slumlord Jared Kushner is behind Paramount’s hostile $108B bid to acquire Warner Bros.

Faking a Middle East peace mission and illegally accepting $2B from Saudi Arabia in exchange for US intel wasn’t enough for this crook. They should’ve jailed him long ago.
