It’s a day to recognize the service of military veterans, but personally I also think of all the civilians who swore the same oath…”against all enemies, foreign and domestic”…whether it be NatSec, Intel, or regular Cabinet agencies, there are a lot of patriots the citizens should be proud of today.
On Veterans Day we honor those courageous men and women who answered the call and swore an oath to protect and defend the Constitution 🙏

The plaque honoring the law enforcement officers who responded to the January 6, 2021, attack on the U.S. Capitol, which was commissioned by Congress in 2022, remains in storage. Mike Johnson has refused to place it on the wall, as was intended. That "deed" speaks pretty loudly.

I'm old enough to remember this guy's predecessor as speaker calling into Fox News from a secure location on Jan. 6 to beg MAGA rioters to stop. "This is so un-American," he said, as the pro-Trump protesters attacked police.

Now, a judge just ordered Mills, 45, not to come within 500 feet of the defendant & ruled that she is “a victim of dating violence.”
