Yep. This. Which is partly why even when the Pentagon tries to cancel or change programs, Congress overrides them.

Four thoughts that encouraged me today. Different voices, one common thread: hope, truth, and keeping our eyes on what matters. #Christianity #Bible

For those who missed it earlier: I sent out a quick update on Iran, where things stand now, and why the situation may be more complicated than many expected. Military and world events — explained clearly, without the outrage. Link below.

Yep. 💯💯 Like watching an old man beat and robbed in the street, and you stay in your house because you don’t want to get involved.

Over the weekend, Iran negotiations briefly looked like they might be moving toward a breakthrough. A few days later, things feel far less certain. I put together a short update on what changed, why analysts are increasingly divided, and what I’m watching next. Link below.

This is amazing. O’Leary is just a run-of-the-mill fool who happens to have too much money.

This is a tragically under-appreciated tweet. 🤣🤣

Ah. Never underestimate the pull of the Saudis.

By pre-Trump standards Pompeo would be rightly seen as a flyweight partisan hack, but compared to the current crew he's like George C. Marshall or something.

I love how The Economist calls out Trump by just using his own words.

Senator Graham is starting to come to terms with the fact that we lost the war with Iran, as I discussed in this episode. I tried to present both sides as fairly as possible, but it increasingly seems like we have lost. Check out my most recent episode if you get a chance.

Glad the Marine Corps is getting in on this drone technology early.

1997. Young, smiling, carrying more gear than sense, and having no idea what was ahead. Back then, Albania was on the horizon. Today, the headlines once again have people wondering what comes next in the Middle East. 1/2

Get in your Bibles some today, if you can at all. It will change your life. No idea where to start? Start with Matthew. Begin there, a chapter a day, and follow it with one from Psalms and one from Proverbs. Try to do that every day. Other questions? Some resources here: stanrmitchell.com/bible/

If this kind of video is already circulating in May, the campaign ads heading into November are going to be absolutely brutal.

How likely do you think U.S. strikes on Iran are this weekend? Please pick one and reply: * Major U.S. strikes likely * Limited action possible * Mostly pressure/bluffing * Diplomacy resumes * No major move this weekend

This is brilliant. 🤣🤣🤣🤣 By @gzeromedia.com and @ianbremmer.com

A lot of my writing and commentary has evolved into something bigger through The Stan R. Mitchell Show. Going forward, that’s where I’ll be focusing my analysis, podcasting, and faith-centered encouragement.

To be so rich and powerful, Trump acts like such a broke and needy merchant. A pity that he has grown so little since childhood.

Trump and company getting some tough medicine.

This likely means the Boxer has slowed its advance towards the Middle East, possibly meaning the island seizure scenario may be off the table.

Not sure where this goes, but it’s notable to see Congress showing signs of independence again.

New episode is up. The Stan R. Mitchell Show — Iran, Trump, and Ukraine | May 21, 2026 Have we lost the war in Iran? podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/t...

Recording this week’s episode of The Stan R. Mitchell Show tonight. A lot moving beneath the surface right now — foreign policy, political pressure points, media narratives, and where the country goes from here. Clear analysis, no outrage. Just perspective.

💯💯👏👏

Brilliantly said. 👏👏

Man, I’ve been doing this a while. 😬😳🤯

This is taking it too far, but it’s funny. 🤣🤣

A turning point in the Ukraine war?

This man tweets like he’s ten years old. And he still has no idea how to act Presidential.

I am always thankful for @radiofreetom.bsky.social’s voice. A voice of sanity in a time when we need unity, a broader coalition committed to constitutional norms, and optimism that America can recover from this season of political erosion. The Constitution and the rule of law must stand.

Yes, this. 👏👏

It world be really nice if Trump read the briefing materials.

Big.

This is amazing. The old ways were best and wisest!

One project has turned into another… burning old boards now. 🤣🤣

Burning some brush, country music rocking in the background, wifey happy the yard going to look better. And she’s working as hard as me. This is the life. Doesn’t get any better. (Not sponsored by Ford.)

This is crazy well said.

Trump’s tone has drastically changed on China. Kind of like what he says about the Epstein list.
