Hey and welcome Cameron, there are quite a few veterans here subscribing to Sasha. My 4 brothers and I served in the military also. The ceremony honoring the 13 young soldiers was very moving.
Thanks, but my feelings are now bittersweet at what the military has become.
The forcing of the covid DeathVax on the troops was unnecessary, cruel, and a deliberate attempt to weaken the military. The military is the healthiest population out there. They would have been OK if they got covid.
And the botched surrender of Afghanistan with the injured and dead, is another "Saigon moment" for all the world to see.
New follower. Beautifully written. Dad was a marine. I’ve been sober from opiates 25 years. I bet everything I have that the current VP never gave serving our country a second thought. Military or otherwise.
You are doing the job the corporate media wouldn't do, they sold their souls, and sold out their nation, all to run cover for the inept losers in the White House. Thank you Sasha!!
Wonderful! My first husband was a Vietnam marine vet and cancer took him early. I am hopeful that President Trump and J.D. Vance will bring healing to our country.
These podcasts from the RNC have been some of your best! Thank you! Because of you and Matt Taibbi and Walter Kirn this has been the closest I've ever followed a political convention!
Just when I think that you, Sasha, can't hit me any harder with real life truths and insights, I am wowed by your prose. I think what I am most grateful for is that your story shows how we really have an opportunity to come together no matter where we have been, what baggage we carry (and believe me I could fill a stadium with my crazy) and hard truths we have had to face in our own lives when we see that we have more in common than not. Trump has chosen to be a servant to us..trully a servant...he is giving it his all. Can we do any less. I am finally grateful that I have chosen to adopt that role too..it isn't easy to be kind to neighbors who rant liberal garbage. But kindness is in short supply and it can reach even the most hardened hearts. But our work has only begun...So I encourage EVERYONE who can foot the bill to join Sasha as a founding member...she needs $$ our support to continue reaching the hearts and souls of as many as possible. And Sasha if ever you are in Florida..please reach out to be my guest...who knows I might packup the dog and do a roadtrip your way...I would love to see you doing a tour with other amazing women who are speaking truth..God Bless !!
iLife Shash on many topics, but her antisemitic pro palistine propaganda kills the deal. I cannot support anyone who would put pressure on Israel after they were attacked. Hamas leadership must surrender unconditionally anf any armed fighters inside Gaza must be liquidated. Israel is our most reliable and strategically important ally anywhere, and they are fighting the Islamic tyranny of IRAN. The Ukraine war is a separate issue. We really do not have a dog in that fight, and the Europeans should pay if expanding NATO right to the border of Russia, is so important to their security.
The reading of the names was moving but what took it took the next level was the spontaneous soft repeating of those names of the crown by the 3rd name, and then “never forget” a few times, softly, when Mr Lopez was done. I had tears streaming down my face before he even started reading, but the intensity was a snowball effect.
What has escaped so many of the traditional right is that this isn’t a GOP v Dem fight, or even a right vs left fight. It’s now a good vs evil, light vs dark epic battle. As you say, the Fourth Turning. (I just got the book last night and am excited to read it.) We either will or won’t survive - unless and until we get back to a point where politics and government don’t rule every part of our lives, everyone who is on the side of light is on the same side. May we live to see days of petty squabbles again.
Thank you for bringing this to your Substack. We OEF veterans are greatly appreciative. Never forget.
Thank you for your service. <3

Yes, welcome Cameron, I’m a fellow vet (Army) and appreciate your words and commenting here.
Retired military here...tears running down my face for the families of the 13 dead.
So young,
So full of life.
Lives cut short by Biden and DoD's incompetence.
Thank you for your service.

25 is awesome, Jim. I haven’t had a drink in 15.
Tip of the hat, friend.
You are doing the job the corporate media wouldn't do, they sold their souls, and sold out their nation, all to run cover for the inept losers in the White House. Thank you Sasha!!
Rest in peace to the 13 heroes who lost their lives because of an inept and calloused president.
Signed, a daughter of a Marine.

I hope President Trump will find a major position in his new administration for Tulsi Gabbard.
VA. She has both the commitment and expertise to take care of our vets.
I want to see her in Nikki Haley’s old job…
+1
DHS Secretary or FBI Director for sure. Maybe DNI?
"And there’s no getting away from how united and powerful the GOP has become with Trump as its leader."
I would offer... Not the GOP, but a whole swath of Americans who have loosely sided with PARTS of both parties and have never been acknowledged.
Like the Reagan Democrats, although their numbers have dwindled.
Right about now, the Democrats could use a Sam Nunn.
Late edit: Not that the current Dem Party powers that be would accept him...

Same!

Thanks for your input...that is what I love about this site we can disagree...without personal attacks...

It took guts for Kai to speak. It’ll bring her grief, but she shined!
Powerful. Tears, shed, for the lost soldiers. Happy tears for JD’s mom. Hope springs, eternal.

Cleverly written with a good heart, and moving. Thank you, Sasha. "We got this!"
Great show, Sasha. Thanks for your work; you're making a difference.
Sasha, you Rock!
You should put together a book of all your writing.
