Howdy y'all! My account has grown a lot this year, so it's time I introduced myself.
I'm a retired Army Senior NCO from the great state of Texas.
I spent the first half of my Army career in tactical and strategic intelligence, mostly SIGINT. I operated with and supported special operations and conventional units while deployed and worked with DoW intelligence agencies back home.
Then I moved into Offensive Cyber Operations where I led operations on USCYBERCOM's offensive and national mission teams.
Today I'm a contractor and SME, still in the fight as a civilian, and here on X as the Finger of Fact.
My goal here is simple: get the actual facts out fast. As an analyst with extensive open source experience I know how to separate truth from deception.
You'll see me cover military, cyber, aerospace, science, politics, and plenty of Texas.
I'm a constitutional absolutist. I swore an oath to uphold and defend the Constitution, and that oath can be summed up with this: "Only in death does duty end" (IYKYK).
If my posts have helped you sort fact from fiction, give me a follow. More followers means the truth reaches more people.
Is there anything you would like me to cover, explain, or debunk? I am happy to take suggestions in the comments!
And if y'all find a post that needs fact checking, tag me in it and I will jump on it!
Nice to meet y'all!

Promote ahead of peers.
A soldier guarding the Tomb of the Unknown Soldier issued a verbal reprimand to a group of advisers and staffers with Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth following a Veterans Day ceremony at Arlington National Cemetery. As the group broke from taking photos, a loud laugh could be heard, and the soldier guarding the tomb shouted: “All visitors will maintain an atmosphere of silence and respect at all times.”
🇺🇸 Happy Veterans day Patriots! 🇺🇸
And while you fill yourselves up with free Golden Corral and Chili's take a second to appreciate what you and our brothers and sisters do and have done for this country.
⭐️ Also take a moment to appreciate the sacrifice gold star families have made. ⭐️
From the bottom of my heart, thank you for your service to the greates country on earth.

But the internet people told me that Iran is not a threat to the United States...
🚨#BREAKING: Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent has reportedly moved to a military base after receiving threats against his life from Iran.

🚨BREAKING: Van Jones admitted how Democrats tricked voters on the economy leading into the 2026 midterms.
They needed Americans to believe Trump’s economy was historically terrible, so they screamed “affordability” as often as possible. Jones said a secret operation called the American Accountability Network coordinated tens of thousands of real people to blast hundreds of millions of targeted social media posts to convince the public the economy was in total ruin.
He bragged about it on CNN and said he was “given permission” to reveal the operation. The numbers tell a different story. 165,000 new jobs were just announced. The poverty rate is at an all-time low of 10.2%. Per capita family income hit a record $87,000. GDP was revised to 3.4%, and the Atlanta Fed projects 5% by year-end. The stock market was 20,000 points higher and income was $14,000 higher than during the 2022 midterms under Biden, when inflation hit 9.1%.
In 2022 the media insisted Biden had done a great job. This time they pushed the opposite message. Jones just confirmed the coordination.

The Department of War under @SecWar Pete Hegseth has been delivering a stronger military and a safer America. A disgruntled, loser politician is joining with opposition to try and impeach him for political points.
Here's a MASSIVE LIST of DOW SUCCESS under Secretary @PeteHegseth:
STRONGEST MILITARY IN GENERATIONS:
• ALL five military branches met or exceeded annual recruiting goals in FY2026, reaching a 15-year recruiting high.
• The Army met both Reserve recruiting goals for the first time in a decade.
• Army: 62,050 against a 61,000 goal.
• Navy: 45,112 against a 45,000 goal.
• Air Force: 31,950 against a 31,950 goal.
• Space Force: 730 against a 730 goal.
• Marines Corps: 31,250 new Marines recruited. A 714-Marine increase over FY25. Recruiters have already contracted more than half of FY27’s mission.
• Reinstated NEARLY 700 service members who were forced out or separated under Biden’s COVID-19 vaccine mandate.
ELIMINATING TERRORISTS, CRUSHING CARTELS AND PROTECTING AMERICANS:
• Eliminated top ISIS global leader Abu-Bilal al-Minuki, alongside 175 ISIS fighters in joint U.S. - Nigeria strikes.
• Operation Rough Rider hit Houthi targets after years of Red Sea attacks on shipping.
• Operation Midnight Hammer used B-2s against Iranian nuclear sites in June 2025.
• Operation Absolute Resolve captured Venezuelan narco-dictator Nicolás Maduro.
• Operation Epic Fury ELIMINATED Iran's ability to develop a nuclear weapon.
• U.S. forces destroyed Iran’s navy, wrecked its air defenses, killed senior leadership including Supreme Leader Ali Khamenei, and reset the nuclear timeline.
• Operation Southern Spear interdicted 76 narco-vessels, eliminated 218 narco-terrorists, and reduced maritime drug smuggling by up to 65%.
• Delivered a precision strike eliminating Tren de Aragua leader Niño Guerrero.
• Helped lead the America's Counter Cartel Coalition (A3C) with 19 countries joining the United States' efforts.
PUTTING OUR WARFIGHTERS FIRST:
• Delivered the first increase in hostile fire and imminent danger pay in more than 20 years, raising troop hazard pay monthly payments to $450 and $275, respectively.
• Secured major investments in America's military strength, including a $22.9 billion Tomahawk missile award and a 10-year agreement for 850 F-35 aircraft.
• Through @POTUS and @Republicans One Big Beautiful Bill, the @DeptofWar successfully obligated defense modernization funding - investing in increased troop pay, housing, healthcare, childcare, advanced weapons, cutting-edge technology, military training, and modern equipment to ensure our warfighters have everything they need to win.
RESTORING ACCOUNTABILITY AND REBUILDING OUR MILITARY:
• Cut unnecessary senior officer positions by 20% and strengthened combat performance standards for promotions.
• Launched major reforms to modernize America's military, strengthen military bases, expand our pipeline of future military leaders, and accelerate next-generation autonomous warfare capabilities.
STAND. FIGHT. DEFEND THE REPUBLIC!

This is a March 11, 2020 Sky News clip. Sky’s own presenter, Jonathan Samuels, explained the same day that the folder didn’t change live. Editors turned it green for a “green budget” climate segment.

This is the problem with the right (and the left), they have no interest in the truth...only what makes them feel good.

Exactly.
There is a map circulating widely on X and elsewhere that allegedly shows Texas as voting blue in every county.
That is NOT what that map is showing. Instead, it's merely showing the degree to which each Texas county shifted blue compared to 2024.
It does NOT show that Democrats won every county.
Instead, the below chart shows who actually won each county.
This is why I am suggesting that everyone should use discernment before they freak out.

Iran’s campaign against American interests extends beyond terrorism, hostage taking, and proxy warfare.
Its influence operations deserve attention too.
If you don't like Israel today and didn't have an opinion or even supported them 5 years ago, it was almost certainly Iran and their multi-national propaganda and bot campaign to turn support (primarily US support) away from Israel to make them a softer target.
U.S. intelligence documented Iranian government actors posing as activists online, encouraging protests over Gaza, and providing financial support to protesters. Treasury identified IRGC hackers who compromised presidential campaign accounts and leaked stolen material to influence our election.
Everything from the far left free Palestine movement to far right isolationist ultranationalism. Iran's propaganda machine has a hand in all of it.
That does not mean every protester works for Tehran or everyone who turns against Israel has been manipulated. It means Iran actively exploits those divisions. You don’t need to invent a conspiracy when the actual operations are documented.
What about Muslim expansionism in the west and the spread of racial Islam? Funded and partially directed by Iran and it's proxies like the Muslim Brotherhood.
The material support matters just as much. Iran supplies weapons, funding, and guidance to militant partners and proxies. Treasury documented IRGC-Qods Force-backed financing and procurement supporting the Houthis, whose attacks have killed civilians and disrupted commercial shipping.
Those disruptions hit people’s wallets. UNCTAD documents longer voyages and higher shipping costs as vessels divert around Africa. Americans have reason to care regardless of their views on Israel.
If Iran ever got their hands on a nuclear weapon they would be next to untouchable. Allowing them to spread hate, death, and extremism unchecked.
This obviously can never be allowed to happen.
I believe preventing that outcome and dismantling the IRGC’s ability to attack Americans and arm terrorist groups are justified military objectives....even if you don't like war or are uncomfortable with the conditions associated with the conflict.
You don't have to like Israel or even hate Muslims to understand the IRGC is evil and must be destroyed.
What I have presented here are facts. Those that disagree loudly are likely with Iran or grifting for clicks and you should be critical of their position.
Debate the strategy. Debate the costs. But Iran’s documented influence operations and proxy warfare belong in that debate not outside it.
We can not be divided or persuaded any longer by outside influence. We need to come together, not only as a party, but as a country and heal these divisive wounds.
The alternative is catastrophic.
To all of you cowards who oppose the Iran War:
Tell that to the 220 US Marines 18 Sailors, and 3 US Army Soldiers that Iran-backed Hezbollah murdered in Beirut in 1983.
Tell my dad's best friend, Joe Boccia. Go on, tell him.
Tell it to the US Embassy staff who were held hostage for 444 days.
Tell it to the hundreds of US Servicemen and women killed by Iranian bombs in Iraq.
Tell it to the 49 US citizens murdered on October 7, 2023 in Israel.
Tell it to the 100,000+ Iranian murdered by their own regime.
Tell it to the millions of untold potential victims of Iran were to have gotten its hands on a nuke.
Or, better yet, shut your mouths, listen, and learn something for once.
SEMPER FIDELIS

If Republicans want to take back Texas, they need to get off our asses and vote.
It's that simple.

🚨BREAKING: Texas State Rep. Brian Harrison is calling on Gov. Greg Abbott to immediately convene a special session and rein in executive emergency powers before Democrat Gina Hinojosa is sworn in.
Harrison says Republicans still hold full control of the Texas Legislature for the next ten weeks and must use it. He warns that without action, Hinojosa will inherit powers that let a governor suspend, modify, or create laws—including criminal ones—by executive order alone.
He points to his own 2022 bill, HB 911, which would bar the governor from suspending statutes, force emergency orders to expire in 30 days without legislative approval, and open them to quick court review. He argues no governor of either party should hold unchecked emergency authority.
Hinojosa defeated Abbott to become the first Democratic Texas governor in more than 30 years and the state’s first Latina governor. She takes office in January.
Harrison is urging every Texas Republican to demand the special session now.
Don't listen to the grifts. There is going to be a lot of blame going around.
The truth is only 49% of registered voters in TX actually voted.
Texas is still a red state...but WE didn't show up to the polls on election day and now the dems are trying to take control for good.
We need to be ready to saddle up, take our state back, and keep Texas RED in two years.
That means GET TO THE DAMN POLLS AND VOTE!!
This is OUR State! We won't let them take it!

Foreign propaganda, bots, and malicious American influence are misleading, dividing, and ultimately destroying the rational part of this country.
I can not overstate how important this is. It is worth watching every second.
I'm done letting these grifters tear apart our country. Mark and avoid these people, and anyone who promotes them/allies with them.
If we are going to win the 2028 election we need to get the enemies out of our camp.
