US Army SOF Veteran | Proud Native of New Jersey | Republican | Powered by Taylor Ham and Patriotism | Views are my own

As a proud Virginia Military Institute (VMI) graduate and former active-duty U.S. Army Special Operations Forces Officer, I’m thrilled to follow in George Marshall’s (VMI ‘1901) footsteps to shape America’s officer corps. America demands senior officers that can build and sustain combat power, layer battlefield effects, and impose devastating costs on our Nation’s enemies. The Joint Warfighter Evaluation (JWE) and a departure from careerism are critical to this end and enhancing senior officer selection and assignment processes. Who we promote, and who we empower matters, and affects everything from recruitment, to retention, to readiness and quality of life. Aggressive innovation in talent-management is key, and we must not build a military that operates solely based on the last conflicts it had a positive experience fighting. We are not guaranteed such privilege in the future. Shout out to the many incredible uniformed and civilian leaders across the Joint Force and @DeptofWar working to make the JWE happen and thank you @stuartscheller and @SecWar for trusting me to support this transformative initiative. We’re just getting started! 🇺🇸
Today, I am announcing the Joint Warfighter Evaluation.

This article is journalistic misconduct at the highest level. It endangers deployed service members, discourages candidness by commanders, and further divides the military from elected and appointed civilian leaders. Those behind the leak and report must be held accountable.
Exclusive: Several U.S. military leaders have advised Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth that prolonging large-scale operations against Iran is unsustainable and risks weakening their ability to confront threats elsewhere, including the U.S. homeland. wapo.st/4qLHGM9

Under no circumstances is this okay. This must be thoroughly investigated and New Jersey must fully cooperate with the Federal Government to ensure proper accountability.
About 6,600 people who indicated they were noncitizens while obtaining New Jersey driver's licenses and other state IDs were improperly registered to vote in 2023 and 2024, Gov. Mikie Sherrill said on Tuesday. cbsn.ws/4fuwAG6

Absolutely thrilled to see Ari getting after it! Hudson, Essex and Union counties have the opportunity to elect a true advocate, and to be the change we seek in NJ and across America. I cannot wait to see what he accomplishes!

There is no better candidate to represent the hard working Americans of NJ 8 in Congress than Aristotle “Ari” Eliopoulos. As an educator and community leader, Ari knows what it takes to build a strong, resilient and prosperous America. I am proud to call him a friend and he has my full support and endorsement. It’s time to end the Menendez dynasty and to break the Democratic grip on NJ. newjerseyglobe.com/congress/…

Justice is for those who do the right thing. Accountability is for those who don’t. Thanks to @DHSgov for keeping New Jersey safe. @GovSherrillNJ, @AndyKimNJ and @TheDemocrats have their priorities misplaced. Americans come first. Remember who you serve.
If @GovSherrillNJ truly cared to “keep people safe,” she would stop SHAMELESSLY peddling smears about the men and women of @ICEgov and work with us to get criminals off New Jersey streets. Our ICE law enforcement is working every day to remove dangerous criminal illegal aliens like these from New Jersey — and will NOT be deterred by these rioters:

Head on a swivel and looking to the sound of the guns, @DeptofWar is lucky to have a @SecWar who is rebuilding lethality and empowering America’s warfighters, even if it requires showing entrenched institutionalists the door to do so. Glad everyone at the WHCD dinner is safe. 🇺🇸

This was the third time. The far left will stop at nothing to destroy President Trump, conservatives, and moderates across America. Power is fleeting. The GOP Congress must use its power while it has it to secure this country. Time is short.

I’ve been reflecting on yesterday’s results in Virginia, a state I went to college in and hold very dear. Elections have consequences. If one doesn’t win enough votes in enough places, they don’t govern. Period. Republicans must be brave, and must truly represent the people that elected them. America cannot survive the alternative.

Governing majorities are built on the margins. Joe Hathaway stood up when it matters most, and he will be an exceptional Member of Congress. New Jersey deserves nothing less. Fight the deep fight @HathawayForNJ11! #JerseyStrong
Far-left NJ Democrat Analilia Mejia is running on a full rap sheet of extreme policies - abolish ICE, attack policing, socialist health care - straight out of the Bernie-AOC playbook Republican Joe @HathawayForNJ11 will lower costs, protect public safety & fight for common sense

This Easter America wakes to learn her 2nd aviator is rescued. A job well done by America’s SOF and the joint-force. No act is more Christ-like than to lay down his life for his friends. @SecWar @SeanParnellUSA “These Things We do, That Others May Live.” -US Air Force Pararescue

Having watched @POTUS speech several times in the last 24hrs, I can confidently say America has not had a more decisive or consequential Commander-in-chief. The Iranian regime enables terror from the Middle East to Ukraine and murders its own people. America’s cause is just.

Venezuela is cheering. Maduro will be held accountable for crimes against his people, America, and the world. The US reaffirmed its resolve and its role in upholding freedom. Shout out to America’s elite LEOs, aviators, and SOF on a job well done. @POTUS @DerrickforVA @DeptofWar

Congratulations to my boss, mentor, and friend Derrick Anderson @DerrickforVA on his confirmation to lead America’s Special Operations community. Derrick is a patriot and warrior and no one is better prepared to lead America’s elite warfighters than him. defensescoop.com/2025/12/18/…

NJ is the best microcosm of America, a place where anything is possible. While us New Jerseyans work hard, we can’t afford four more years of crushing taxes, high cost of living, and leaders who care more themselves than us. Vote for @Jack4NJ and @NJGOP. Let’s be the change. 🇺🇸
