THURSDAY PDB – Haley says she will vote for Trump, calls Biden ‘a catastrophe.' In her speech, Nikki Haley came to the defense of Israel and criticized Biden's recent decision to pause certain heavy bombs from Israel amid its ongoing conflict in Gaza as a “foolish” decision.
She added that this decision is “dragging out a war, emboldening terrorists, and making other wars more likely.”
Haley also cast the disastrous Biden 2021 withdrawal from Afghanistan as a catalyst for an emboldened Iran and Russia. However, the ex-UN ambassador said the former president “has not been perfect,” either.
When she announced over two months ago that she was ending her presidential bid, Haley declined to endorse Trump, saying he must work to “earn the votes of those in our party and beyond who did not support him.”
And Haley's announcement Wednesday of her plans to vote for him this fall hardly amounted to a full-throated endorsement.
“Trump would be smart to reach out to the millions of people who voted for me and continue to support me and not assume that they're just going to be with him,” she said.
FOR YOUR EYES ONLY – Here's a roundup of today's other top defense stories from conservative national security expert PAUL CRESPO.
Not the President's Daily Brief, but almost as good – PAUL'S DAILY BRIEFING – the PDB:
NATIONAL SECURITY
House defense bill includes amendment assessing impact of publicizing Russia's nuclear space weapon. It would require a report on the impact of a detonation of a nuclear weapon in space and the consequences of publicizing Russia's alleged pursuit of a space-based nuclear weapon.
The Pentagon isn't buying enough ammo. Munitions procurements are woefully insufficient for modern war.
The case for a prospective US Cyber Force. Imagine a junior Army captain is taking command of an airborne infantry company. This officer has never been to airborne school or completed an infantry field problem. But the officer has conducted offensive cyber operations, maneuvering through hostile networks to close with and destroy a digital enemy. Is the best preparation to lead an infantry company?
POLITICS
House advances $884 billion defense bill for 2025 with enlisted troop pay raise. It provides a 20% pay boost to junior enlisted troops while pushing back against the Pentagon's shipbuilding and Air Force procurement plans.
House committee approves measure to block unilateral transfer of space-focused National Guard units. An amendment will require the Air Force to work with state governors on the transfer of space-focused National Guard units.
WHAT ABOUT WOMEN? AND TRANS? DIVERSITY? – Lawmakers move to automate Selective Service registration for all men. A new plan from House lawmakers would automatically register men for a potential military draft when they hit age 18, avoiding potential legal consequences connected to failing to file the paperwork at the proper time.
Congress wants an Army drone corps but Army leaders aren't interested. A new proposal would force the Army to treat drone training and operations like artillery and intelligence. But Army leaders want flexibility for field units.
ISRAEL'S WAR AGAINST TERROR
HORRIBLE TERROR – Families of Israeli female hostages release video showing their capture. The families are seeking to remind the public of Hamas's brutality in seizing the women, in hopes that it would push Israeli leaders to restart negotiations for their release.
US POWER OVERSEAS
First aid from US pier in Gaza has reached Palestinians, the UN says. The World Food Program said Wednesday that it has handed out in recent days a “limited number” of high-energy biscuits that arrived from a U.S.-built pier.
US, Gulf states meet for first security forum since war in Gaza. Senior American and Arab officials are meeting this week in Riyadh to discuss security issues — the first such gathering since the war in Gaza began last year.
Pacific exercises help to shape US Army's watercraft strategy. A U.S. Army Light Support Vessel can transport 24 Abrams tanks at once, even at sea for nearly a month without needing a port visit, and one recently deployed to Gaza to help build the floating pier.
This summer's Rim of the Pacific (RIMPAC) exercise in Hawaii drawing 30 nations and 40 ships.
Training in Poland puts drone jammer in hands of US troops on NATO's eastern flank. A U.S. Army unit based in Poland recently got its introduction to a drone-jamming gun, as two days of training brought the device to the territory of a NATO ally on the doorstep of the war in Ukraine.
CHINA THREAT
Wary of China, American military plans return to Peleliu in Western Pacific. The Pentagon is proposing a new U.S. military site on a Micronesian island where a bloody battle raged during World War II.
China's military holds “punishment” drills around Taiwan. Taiwan's military was on alert after China's military announced two days of drills around the self-governing island, three days after the inauguration of Taiwan's new President Lai Ching-te.
RUSSIA THREAT – UKRAINE WAR
Even with aid arriving, training still needed for Ukraine triumph. Relief for Ukraine's exhausted and outgunned fighters is now arriving with the U.S. foreign aid package that included $61 billion to support Ukraine's war effort — and it is having immediate effects in repelling Russian advances.
With Ukraine losing ground, allies debate how to squeeze cash for Kyiv out of frozen Russian assets. This debate is ever more urgent as Russia gains territory on the battlefield and as the outlook for Ukraine's state finances looks shakier.
FINALLY! – Inside the White House, a debate over letting Ukraine shoot US weapons into Russia. After a sobering trip to Kyiv, Secretary of State Antony J. Blinken is urging the president to lift restrictions on how Ukraine can use American arms.
Deputy Russian military chief of general staff jailed for bribery in latest arrest of high defense official. The arrest of Lt. Gen. Vadim Shamarin followed the arrest this week of Maj. Gen. Ivan Popov, a former top commander in Russia's offensive in Ukraine, also on bribery charges.
INTERNATIONAL SECURITY
WATCH NATO troops perform what is claimed to be the largest parachute drop since World War II.
US MILITARY
It's time to rebuild America's fighter force, not cut it. The service today is the oldest and smallest in its history. Consequently, it is experiencing a severe fighter aircraft gap between what it has and what it requires to execute the national defense strategy.
Air Force releases first official photos of B-21 Raider in flight on May 22. Offering the first official images of the bomber since it made its first flight last year.
What is the six-bladed ‘ninja-bomb' used to take out key human targets? With six knives that eject from its nose, the Hellfire R9X was designed to minimize casualties while targeting a high-profile individual. Its recent use to kill a Kataib Hezbollah leader in Baghdad drew attention to the mysterious munition
Space Force to hold annual Tactically Responsive Space demos. It will develop an annual cadence of Tactically Responsive Space missions to refine its ability to quickly respond to real-time threats.

Nikki Haley Kinda Backs Trump, Says Biden’s A ‘Catastrophe’
Kamala Harris’ 2005 Controversial Drug Policy Proposal Resurfaces
In 2005, then-San Francisco District Attorney Kamala Harris introduced a controversial proposal to delay prosecution of drug dealers until their third offense. The plan faced swift opposition and was quickly rejected by law enforcement officials.
Harris' proposal suggested that individuals caught selling narcotics would not face charges until they had been arrested for the same offense at least three times. The idea was part of a broader effort to reform the city's approach to drug crime, focusing resources on more serious offenders while.
