As veterans, we know the scars of war better than most. We’ve walked through the rubble, seen the cost of conflict etched into the earth, and carried the weight of rebuilding what’s been lost. So when President Donald Trump recently spoke about the future of Gaza—estimating it’ll take 15 years to rebuild the war-torn region after over a year of devastation—it hit home. He’s not just talking about bricks and mortar; he’s laying out a bold, realistic plan to turn chaos into opportunity. And for those of us who’ve served, it’s a reminder of why we back this man: he sees the big picture and isn’t afraid to say it like it is.

I learned about Palmer Luckey a few years ago. His patriotism is only one thing that stands out but it caught my attention. A young billionaire who wants to see America win any and every potential war. He is not as rich as Elon Musk, nor is he as well known. However, he may be the next Elon Musk. Let’s dive in.

Palmer Luckey is a name that reverberates through the corridors of Silicon Valley—not just for his groundbreaking contributions to virtual reality (VR), but for his unapologetic defiance of the tech establishment and his bold pivot into the world of defense technology. From a teenage tinkerer in his parents’ garage to a billionaire entrepreneur leading a $14 billion company, Luckey’s journey is a testament to ingenuity, resilience, and a relentless drive to push boundaries. At 32, he’s already left an indelible mark on two industries—VR and military tech—while cultivating a persona that’s equal parts genius, rebel, and pop-culture enthusiast.

Dave Alexander “We’re ready to rock and roll on this. We’d go straight into production, full-rate production,” he said. “This Iron Dome is perfect timing for us, and I’d be willing to go into Trump’s office and tell them we’re ready to go today.”

General Atomics is preparing to unveil a new super wide-area sensor specifically designed for the “Iron Dome for America” initiative. This sensor aims to enhance the capabilities of the defense system by providing a broader surveillance area, enabling quicker threat detection and response.

Vlad, who has lived in both Ukraine and Russia before moving to the U.S. and serving in the US Army, provides a unique perspective on the ongoing conflict. This podcast provides a deep dive into the complexities of international relations, with an emphasis on personal experiences and geopolitical strategy.

While the Trump administration has been cutting numerous government positions, one agency continues to actively recruit: the U.S. military. This marks a turning point, signaling that the era of the Biden administration is fading. Young Americans, eager to enlist, have sent recruitment numbers soaring to heights not seen since World War II. It’s clear that voters aren’t the only ones ready to swap a commander focused on progressive agendas for one who embodies strength and resolve.

Yes, reports indicate that Captain Rebecca Lobach’s social media accounts were scrubbed before the U.S. Army released her name following the tragic mid-air collision involving a Black Hawk helicopter near Reagan National Airport. Additionally, there are mentions that the social media accounts of her family members were also scrubbed. This information has been discussed across various platforms and news outlets, including posts found on X and articles from websites like The Gateway Pundit, MEAWW News, and Armed Forces Press.

Did the Biden administration fail to hire air traffic controllers due to not being the correct race, gender etc? The narrative around the Biden administration’s hiring practices for air traffic controllers has been contentious, with criticisms focusing on diversity, equity, and inclusion (DEI) policies. While many criticize President Trump for mentioning DEI during the early stages of an accident I do not.

As stated in my background I was certified in aircraft accident investigation. While it is important to remain impartial during an investigation it is also important to consider and investigate everything that may have contributed to the accident.
