On Veterans Day, remembering my dad, Joe Milloy, now resting in peace with my mom at Arlington National Cemetery. 1. As pilot in the Royal Yugoslav Air Force Joe bombed the invading Nazis for two weeks during April 1941 until Yugoslavia surrendered. He and his crew didn't surrender. They flew to the Soviet Union, where Stalin had them imprisoned because Stalin and Hitler were allies. 2. When the Nazis invaded the Soviet Union, Stalin released my dad to the British who sent him to Egypt where he flew Hawker Hurricanes. 3. Short of soldiers, the Brits put him in the trenches during the battle of El Alamein. 4. Eventually he joined the US Army Air Corps where he was the navigator/bombadier in a B-24 bomber, personally awarded to his four-plane squadron by FDR in October 1943 at Bolling Air Field. 5. Flying out of southern Italy, he was shot down on a raid over Bulgaria. Flying in cloudy weather and being mistakenly abandoned by fighter cover, his plane was attacked head on by a ME-109. Sitting in the nose, Joe manned the .50 caliber machine gun and simultaneously shot down the ME-109 that shot his B-24 down. 6. Though he was able to bail out, it was at such angle that he would up fracturing vertebrae and being permanently disabled. Joe was a POW until September 1944 when his Nazi prison guards skedaddled as the Red Army approached. 7. Despite his war service, the Truman administration tried to repatriate him to Yugoslavia after the war as part of FDR's disastrous Yalta agreement. My dad and several other Yugoslav fliers sued to stay but lost in federal court. My dad's cause was taken up by Sen, Robert Jenner (R-IN). Joe and the others were made US citizens by an act of Congress. 8. As an American citizen, he earned an MBA from the University of Chicago, flew during the Korean and Vietnam Wars, served as a CIA spymaster in Greece, and worked FBI counterintelligence, where he helped break-up a Croatian terrorist bomb plot in New York City in the 1980s. 9. Notably, in Vietnam, he voluntarily flew combat missions in an F-105 at age 55 to show his young intelligence officers how to do their jobs properly. They were afraid to fly close enough to the ground on photo recon missions. My dad wasn't a man for a day, month or a year. He was a man from cradle to grave.

Are you kidding me? Look at what this lunatic is saying about the Senate permitting bill (BAAJA)—and Republicans are voting for this? BTW, SEIA? That is the trade association for solar panels from Communist China.

Here is the letter we sent President Trump about taking action against tech companies with national security responsibilities that are selling out the US to Communist China at #COP31. 2/
