I think that he’s being exploited a bit and that pain is on full display and you know, all you can really do is just pray for healing for that man.”“I think that we should build up men to be men,” Carano added. “But don’t you want some viking-ass women in your country?

Is America running out of missiles? The attacks on Iranian forces and leadership have had a devastating impact on the regime, but the repeated salvos of precision-guided munitions and interceptors have put a strain on U.S. and Israeli stores of some of these munitions.

President Donald Trump acknowledged as much in his Friday statement after meeting with industry chief executive officers on the imperative to “quadruple” the production of…
