Shoutout to the United States Coast Guard! The crew of Coast Guard Cutter Diligence returned to homeport in Pensacola, Florida, Wednesday after a 54-day Caribbean Sea patrol. During this patrol, Diligence’s crew performed extensive migrant interdiction operations in support of Operation Southeast Watch.
Partnering with seven other Coast Guard cutters and five Coast Guard aircraft, Diligence interdicted, cared for, and repatriated nearly 600 migrants who departed from Haiti. Additionally, Diligence’s crew safely escorted two other overloaded vessels engaged in an illegal migrant venture, ensuring the safety of more than 300 people. The 54-day patrol provided critical training opportunities to build proficiency through shipboard training and drills enhancing operational readiness and effectiveness.
Diligence is a 210-foot medium endurance cutter homeported in Pensacola with 78 crewmembers. The cutter’s primary missions are counter-drug operations, migrant interdiction, enforcing federal fishery laws, and search and rescue in support of Coast Guard operations throughout the Western Hemisphere.

On OAN this week, I spoke with Stephanie Hammill about the Facebook leftist whistleblower’s pleas for more social media censorship, the mega-spending in Congress that inflates our currency, and the inappropriate confrontation of Senator Sinema by protestors. Democrats spending our taxpayer dollars, regulating free speech, and following Senators into bathrooms. What’s next?
BIDEN IMMIGRATION CRISIS MUST BE ADDRESSED
I joined Arizona Congressman Andy Biggs in a letter to Joe Biden, demanding that he give the border crisis he created the attention that it deserves. In this letter, we ask Joe Biden specific questions about the influx of illegal aliens who are entering the United States. The border crisis is a huge concern for the national security of this country.

"When people in the military like Lt. Col. Scheller stand up and demand accountability, when they say you all screwed up, when they point out General Milley’s statement that Afghanistan’s not going to be defeated by the Taliban—well, he ends up in a brig, and you all end up in front of us,” Gaetz said.
