Republicans need to get a clue card. Stop reacting to everything the media says. Stop reporting on it. Ignore it. Move on..

liberals damn sure wouldn’t care. They’d move on and never stop. Media is part of the problem.

After reading or watching news. I ask myself.. is this information, or is it information splashed with partisanship meant to divide?

To me it looked like every FOIAed government conversation I've ever read. Obviously whoever is responsible for actually adding JG should be reprimanded, but it's hilarious to hear the media yapping about how evading FOIA is a huge deal when they were silent about Fauci and the GoF crew doing it a few years ago.

The “irony” of an extremely far left journalist’s phone number being added is very suspect even if he has the same initials as “somebody”. It doesn’t make sense that Goldberg’s number from a rag mag like the Atlantic would be on any of these people’s list. Should the subordinate who input it be reprimanded or I suspect fired for leaking?

I want to see Goldberg arrested. surely what he did is some kind of a crime. I’m sick of that piece of shit. Liar at the Atlantic. The Atlantic is nothing but a load of lying pieces of shit.

That's my thought too. It's one thing to say you were involved in the chat, another to release the contents. Almost treasonous.

Wouldn’t it be awesome if the FBI raided the Atlantics offices and took the all those motherfuckers down for leaking all these years? I would love to see that and so would Dan Bongino.

You know why he had to release the chat, right? Because the entire White House and the Cabinet officials involved were lying through their teeth.

It certainly feels that way. It appears there isn’t a man or a woman with a soul working for the Democratic machine.

The substance was a nothing burger but who put the number in the chat. Based on prior experience, a mole hunt is needed.

Mostly agree, although it's important to realize there was no logical reason for Goldberg to admit he was wrongly added to the group and volunteer to be removed. He was added to the group, however erroneously, and he gets a free scoop. Any journalist would have done the same thing ... why would you leave a free scoop on the table?

The problem here is not anything Goldberg did. It's the nincompoop that added him to the group. That person should be fired posthaste.

I would certainly lurk in the chat and then publish the story after the information couldn't do any harm to the servicemembers.

Like....I remember James O'Keefe having access to CNN's morning call for months and months.....he finally "spoke up" once they realized what was going on.

I’m flummoxed as to why he was appointed.War is his answer to everything. Israel is a mess and like America, the worst enemy is within . Leftist traitors Ehud Barak, Livini, Haaretz, Harari , Olmert, New Israel Fund, Black Flags, the courts, Gantz, Lapid who enabled Oct 7 with their U.S. traitor sponsors-Soros, Reid Hoffman, Team Epstein, Clinton, Obama, Biden, Dustin Moskowitz.. Bibi did NOTHING about it Soros, Epstein, Wexner, Summers, Ehud Barak.. this has been ongoing since 1994. With the U.S. Deep State /UN behind it. Bill Burns, Robert Mueller, Larry Summers, Andrew Weissman, Panetta.. and this was under Bill Clinton’s admin. To overthrow Netanyahu.

We lost three family members on 10/7. Our nephew’s Israeli wife, sister in law and mother in law. Shani was visiting them. And Bibi responds by kissing Biden’s ass. Had he told him to fuck off, it would have been over in two weeks. If he had banned Soros and Co from Israel, it would not have happened.

The defense of Palestinians NEEDS to STOP

THEY placed HAMAS in the driver's seat

When

HAMAS used them as human shields (women and children)

when Israel retaliated from a missile attack, it continued

I won't even discuss that rat, PLO leader Arafat

**The continued to support after 10/7, which has been conveniently forgotten

Speaking of,

I will NEVER forget how they cheered when 9/11 happened and I saw footage

even thought MSM claims never happened

Finally, it

is NOT our business to rebuild Gaza much like we did following WWII

in the Marshall Plan, all but forgotten by EU. . .

**Where was security to prevent what happened on 10/7?

Israel dropped the ball badly. As I have related before, I have been

involved in intel which necessitated heavy security, some behind

barbed wire walls.

There is no excuse for Hamas or 90% of the Palestinians who may as well be Hamas. None!

That said, Israel cannot afford to be caught off guard , distracted or complacent. EVER.

The minute it became evident the Dems could win the 2020 election , Bibi should have been hyper-alert. Actually, he should have taken care of business long before. Rosalee, as an American who has been long aware of Team Epstein, Soros , Obama, Biden, Clinton and the U.S. Deep State meddling and regime change plotting, I cannot wrap my head around how it was allowed to continue.

Examples are endless of political chess games

all the while squandering our BLOOD and our tax$$$$

It must STOP

A good example of their depravity was when the remains of Benghazi arrived at Andrews AFB. The main players were draped in black, eyelids half mast

It was an insult not only to the families of the dead, but to America

However, the entire game has been played that way

THEY knew 2 years into Vietnam, it would never be a military win

As I read message traffic intended for the War College, I realized what it was

About that time my father visited. When I queried my father, who was an adviser in I Corps, he confirmed

"It was never intended to be a military win because it was always a political chess game" (He was a retired USN/MSC and had been in country 2 years by then)

However, earlier in 9/63,

JFK told Cronkite, during an interview, that America would never become fully engaged.

I believe he signed his death warrant on that day because 3 months later he was assassinated.

McNamara later in his book affirmed THEY knew but they willingly continued the squander of our BLOOD and our tax$$$$

THEY ALL wear OUR blood on their hands for the 58K lives squandered

and they do to this day

Subsequent wars the US has been involved in have been no different.

ALL

armchair tactics to reorganize the world according to the whims of TPTB

ALL by BLOOD and tax$$$$ of the American people

He’s awful. The real reason he was removed is more “ enlightening”. He was feeding info to Bibi and plotting to strike Iran, already nixed by Trump. It put Trump between a rock and a hard place. If Trump fired Waltz, it would play out as it did with Comey, McMaster, Sessions, Bolton and make Trump appear to have not learned from past mistakes, or it would backfire on Trump ,appearing as though Trump was igniting a war that would escalate into WWIii . Russia/Ukraine/China/Israel/Gaza/Syria/Lebanon/Afghanistan/. Yemen/Egypt… the homeland… everything Trump criticized and the wars he promised to end on week one that have only increased.

If anybody is wondering why Trump isn’t speaking to Bibi… he’s furious that Bibi was collaborating with Waltz behind his back. Can’t say I blame him.

Completely agree. I was less than thrilled with the appointment of Waltz . Though I’m pro-Israel, we cannot afford to get dragged into another regional war. More concerning is the flood of refugees that inevitably follow. Refugees that hate us and make no secret of it. Have we learned nothing? Iraq, Afghanistan, Somalia,Syria ,Libya,Gaza, Egypt, Niger, Pakistan,Nicaragua, Iran, Venezuela…

Worse, our “ regime changes” only serve to replace bad with awful.There’s a reason not a single Middle East nation is willing to take in the Palestinians. They destroy anything they touch. They are not “ redeemable”. They cannot be and will not be “ de radicalized “. Carter and Brezinzski backed the Red/Green CommunoIslamoFascist Ayotollah and fucked over the anti-Communist, anti-Islamist , American/Israel friendly Shah. Reagan’s insane Contra gun running attempt to overthrow the Iranian regime empowered them more. Bush invading Iraq to overthrow Saddam Hussein took out the only leader that held back Iran. On and on it goes..

I too am pro Israel but I also see the reality in it all

That area, for good reason, has been forever known as 'the graveyard of empires' but why pay attention to what that region IS in terms of its history?

My undergrad degree was in Middle East history and was posted in SW Turkey were I witnessed it up close but also traveled in the the region

WE should NEVER have become the peacekeepers of that region

EVERYTIME the world has a problem armchairs in DC respond and the result

has COSTLY

THEY have squandered OUR blood and our tax$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$

in the ME just as they did in Vietnam and like Vietnam, the ME wears the same

What if he was added on purpose?

He wasn't even on Mike Waltz' signal contacts until right before he was added to the group chat.

That's an amazing coincidence on top of him being "accidentally" added instead of someone with matching initials.

Occam's Razor might mean that we should not presume this was accidental.

If it was deliberate then we need to explore who added him and why.

In 2021 in Afghanistan, a terrorist exploded a suicide vest at the Kabul airport, killing 13 marines. In retaliation, the US launched an "over-the-horizon" drone attack targeted at ISIS terrorists. Lloyd Austin and Mark Milley, the Biden administration's "brain trust" for the Afghan withdrawal announced a successful mission and a "righteous kill". Unfortunately, it was discovered - and covered up for three weeks - that ISIS terrorists weren't the ones killed in the attack. It was 10 civilians, including 7 children. No one in the Biden Administration was held accountable for this "stunning" act of murder of foreign citizens on their own soil.

My question - how many innocents were killed by inviting an unscrupulous journalist into a group chat? Oh, right - NONE!

As usual with Democrats, mistakes resulting in the murder of 10 innocent foreign citizens is perfectly fine when they do it. But G-d help you for sending out the wrong phone number.

I’m not familiar with journalistic ethics, if there are such things. I agree with others here who said that most would run with this. I wonder, though, why anyone working in Trump’s national security apparatus would readily have Goldberg’s number on a device. Is he someone they use? Is this unidentified character a leaker? Waltz and the mystery person should do the right thing and resign. Also, security folks should be aware of who is on each chat before they participate. Maybe initials and nicknames are insufficient identifiers. Also, let’s stop using emojis.

I don't care if it was classified or not; somebody originated content and addressees

and today Waltz took responsibility and his excuse was pathetic

The Atlantic rag should never have been one of the addressees

I suppose it would be acceptable in the minds of those who have never held, but those of us who have, find it UNacceptable

Waltz's inability to focus in this instance leads me to wonder what his other focus is

when it comes to his role as national security adviser

IF Waltz had an ounce of integrity and honor, he would step down

By allowing him to skate, Trump has set a poor example. . .

Thankfully it was a success! It reminds me of the fall of Cecil Rhodes who facilitated the failed Jameson Raids in South Africa in 1895/96. In his case, he secretly informed one of his insiders at the London Times that the raid was going to happen, in detail, so they could break the story first and garner public support for war against the Boers. It didn't pan out that way and turned into a debacle that soon enough spawned the Second Boer war and eventually WW1 decades later. This mistake will fade away into the background noise soon enough.

🤔we arrived at the same conclusion but i did not know Goldberg sat on the info and for how long before he published it. It doesnt make sense to me either ( even if he had the same initials), why his # was connected to a high security groups #. I mean it beggers belief.....the Atlantic!!
