There are, as best I can fathom, three possible options for what you are about to read from Texas Senator John Cornyn.
The outgoing senator sent this public statement via his X Account:
[SOURCE]
It is the official position of the United States government that Ukraine has never had access to the “Starshield” global satellite system used by the United States military for communication and global guidance targeting. Giving Ukraine access to Starshield would be akin to the United States operating missile and drone targeting of nuclear armed Russia.
For obvious reasons the U.S. government would not want to escalate to direct military conflict with a nuclear-armed power.
Senator John Cornyn is a member of the Senate Foreign Relations Committee; Senate Select Committee on Intelligence and Cornyn has been a long-time tenured member of the Republican Senatorial Leadership Team. There are three options behind this X message:
Option #1 – Senator John Cornyn genuinely doesn’t know that Ukraine has never had access to “Starshield.” The implications within this possibility are alarming, especially when you consider his senate office staff wouldn’t stop him from making a public fool of himself.
Option #2 – Assuming he’s not made a mistake. Senator John Cornyn has just publicly exposed a deep state, highly classified secret, outlining to Russian Federation President Vladimir Putin that the United States has indeed been operating the Ukraine targeting system against Russia all along. This has major implications.
Option #3 – Again, assuming he’s not made a mistake. Senator John Cornyn has just exposed that elements within the United States government are controlling military operations and operating without the knowledge of President Donald Trump and Secretary of state Marco Rubio.
You choose.
One thing is very clear, someone from Vladimir Putin’s office is very likely calling someone in the White House chain of command to gain clarity. Maybe that ‘friction’ and/or ‘deconfliction’ problem is the reason Cornyn wants to kick sand?

I didn’t realize the Senate was now acting as Commander in Chief of the Armed Forces and is now setting defense policy for our nation.
They aren’t passing meaningful legislation. They must think they are the collective chief executive – President of the new deep state they represent so well.
Screw Ukraine! I already told Cornyn that in a personal letter from his constituent. He didn’t care … because he represents something else – not me.
….AND THAT’S WHY HE’S ….LEAVING!!!!!
FINALLY!
John Thune is an absolute waste of space. He would have had more to show for his efforts over this past year, had he been rolling snotballs at carnivals.
If Rubio, Radcliff and Hegseth were wise they would send in an emergency Sec of State team, a large team of tier one operators and a sole IC that hopefully can be trusted to Kiev and remove all military, embassy and IC personnel and fly them home and debrief each and every one of them.
While they’re at it they need to check for any “annexes” co-located with any Ukraine HQ units.
This is probably a bunch of contractors with plausible deniability that are doing this. Under the full support of NATO European allies and some rogue elements within our own apparatus who are aligned with Tillis and Cornyn.
#1–Thune should have him removed for senility. How much more damage can Cornyn do?
#2 and #3–Cornyn should be tried for treason.
Along with Thune and all those other dead beats senators.
Cornyn and Thune are buddies!
More like co-conspirators
Live streamed?
“The outgoing senator sent this public statement via his X account”
I would like to know the history of his X account, such as how often he posts, what does he discuss, etc.
It would not surprise me if this was misinformation deliberately posted to sow discord.
He trashes Paxton every chance he gets. He’s seriously butt-hurt over getting beaten.
“He’s seriously butt-hurt over getting beaten.”
It is time for him to open a “consulting business” then.
He probably cannot learn to code.
/s
He can “vibe code” using “Super Intelligence” model of his choice. No need to actually learn to program and write software.
And he is going to die as a very bitter, ugly old useless man.
A traitor to his nation and the constitution!
OK! 🤭
Well, worm food isn’t totally useless. : )
It is common knowledge in Texas that Cornyn and Bush have a visceral loathing for both PDJT and Paxton, and they are doing their utmost to see Paxton lose.
We have known for years that Cornyn is a disengenuous, self-promoting RINO.
There is a litany of reasons why Cornyn and Thune are joined at the hip.
The Bush Texas Crooks are robbing us all via Zelensky’s attacks on oil and gas infrastructure worldwide… most notably in Russia. Which then inflates the value of their oil.
That happens when the dawning reality that you’re a worthless piece of trash finally starts to sink in.
If I had to speculate (and everyone here is) I’d say that this tweet is meant as a set-up for whatever the next prolific anti-Trump narrative is going to be.
Maybe go to Facebook and see what the “influencers” are complaining about now, and this is the gristle on their bone. You can bet there’s venomous intention behind it.
That could certainly be plausible.
A nice clean wrap-up smear/coup attempt that also ensures the fraud in Ukraine continues.
Your giving him way too much credit.
Interesting that he lays this egg at the same time as Data Republican’s reveal.
I am quite certain I should not type what I’m thinking.
and we are thinking
You can type, just don’t send lol
Remember keyboard stroke capture.!
In reality I’m single cell organism in an ocean and no one cares what I think.
When you claim, “no one cares what I think.” That means you don’t care what other like-minded people think. That’s defeatist thinking. NO ONE is defeated until they either give up or are dead. Which one are you?
Context my Dear Mark.
I simply am not even a speck on the monitor to TPTB.
Has nothing o do with others.
Had I given up I would not be here when I could just a easily walked down to the pond and go fishing.
you type it – ” they ” read keystrokes IF you are Important enough
Moi, aussi. And anyone else thinking said such, you are correct, and the not-uttered expletives are righteous. Guard your heart.
JOHNNY, Johnny, johnny……
Please exit the state.
You are no longer relevant and sour grapes make terrible legacies.
I have no idea how much this stunt is going to make you, but you really really need to leave.,,.. NOW, McCAIN! GIT!
go hang out with Bernie …. just don’t let the door hit you on the way out YOU STINKIN THE PLACE UP!!!!
WOW the WHO’S Who of TDS, thanks for the reminder Connie Cornyn
Senator corkscrew at it again. The childish demeanor and paid for crying is all he has as the door hits em in the azzz on the way out. Smucks are Us he’s coming your way. Spit
It’s just unfortunate that they get such a nice retirement plan
The good news is that since they refuse to leave office until they’re pushed, those benefits won’t extend as long as they could if they’d just retire graciously!
Well they do have to be temped to get off the grift train.
Maybe alot of these rinos won’t be spending their perks……spending time, more likely.
“It remains in our national interest to help Ukraine defend itself from Putin’s aggression.”
Dear Sen. Cornyn, please cite at least one example of anything to do with Ukraine is in our “national interest”.
Just one……………
(Laundering money for politicians does not count.)
Good point.
🎯🎯🎯
He really means its in the NWO oligarchs (Kalergi plans) interest.
Z man attacking oil and gas…. inflates the Billionaires assets that installed Cornyn’s TDS ASS…. that’s what he is looking out for.
End the filibuster rule they created in the Senate to control their riches.
Keep the filibuster, but return to making them avtually talk.
” MAKE THEM WORK For their Pay ”
GET RID of 90% of the Staffers !
Take your pick with 1, 2 or 3…. Anyway you look at it, the man’s an imbecile, and a dangerous one at that!
Ma’s vote is OPTION # 2
F-ers
It’s a ruse.
If you picked 2, you must pick 3 too. Can’t have one, without the other.
I agree. He knows there are no consequences for lying.
given what we know for sure about our rogue government, both 2 and/or 3 are very likely. Is there anyone that visits this site regularly that would be shocked if the CIA and US Military complex did stuff that Trump and Rubio specifically said is not happening? Ditto for US funds and weapons going directly to Ukraine. Trump said specifically that had been stopped, but I really doubt it.
Same question as always, whatcha gonna do about it? Rogue governments don’t care what Presidents say or think. They know nothing can or will be done about it.
BTW: Cornyn is demented, but he still has a large staff supporting him. No way this just “slips” out the door. No way.
His staff should go packing with him when he leaves. Ken Paxton needs to hire his own, trusted staff when he wins. JMHO as I live here in Texas and have tolerated this cretin, demon possessed, disgusting reprobate for 26 years.
I cannot image Paxton keeping one single Cornyn staffer. He also needs to do a really good job screening as many backstabbers will try to get on the inside. Just look at Trump’s first term. Backstabber after backstabber.
Paxton will recruit and select his own staff. Cornyn has something twisted in his soul. He should leave quietly. However, he has chosen to leave by burning down his legacy and despoiling the U.S. Senate seat for Texas. He is an unequivocal failure as a human. Goodbye to bad rubbish!!!!!
My understanding is that the staff chooses the congressman by order of the staff’s seniority.
That is how they control new congressmen.
It’s too obvious now.
Any of the three are inexcusable. If #2 or #3 someone needs to be held accountable.
And how about option 4?
The US has not been authorizing the use of Starshield by Ukraine, but has been using it as US assets are deployed and operating within Ukraine. Hence the need to “protect American personnel” in Ukraine.
#3
I concur, #3.
Yeah!!! The losers want answers. Pronto!!!
cc: Thomas Massie, Marjorie Taylor Greene, Bill Cassidy
I’m curious. Was Zelensky told to complain about the Starlink slowdown or did he just blab on his own?
It seems like the manufactured outage and demands for answers are to cover their exposed illegal activity.
Same playbook as the Russia hoax and impeachment.
I seriously doubt Starlink was ever “slowed down” at all. Zelenskyy is lying out his ass as usual. Once you get comfortable lying and the media covers for you, everything is a lie. Just ask Bill Clinton. He lied so much he actually started to believe his own lies…… it became a sport for him.
I’ll take number three, the Ghost in the agency that must not be named, for 600 Alex.
“It’s not at this moment available to Ukraine.”
Which means what? Starshield’s not available, but Ukraine has Starshield anyway? Somebody else has Starshield and is using Starshield in (or near to) Ukraine?
“At this moment” is a bit ambiguous, as well.
Yep, very obviously.
Yeah, that’s lawyerspeak (weaselwords).
There are so many lawyers that would love to help Cornyn with this: McCord, Yates, Eisen etc.
What American personnel?
This, too.
Sundance, you left out the Sec. of War. What are you saying?
Option 4…. He is laying out the case for removal, post jan 27, with enough republican traitors who are left and lack a spine.
Imagine how different it coulda been if trump had ended the western war on russia early and not spent all his political capital on iran….
“and protect American personnel”…. What does that tell you? How could interruptions in Ukraine… put American personnel in danger….. #3
Whatever the choice is, it is obvious the warmongers have had the rug pulled out from under them. I would guess the CIA has been lying to President Trump but now their game is ending.
There is a pile of ugliness underneath the public statements. A whole bunch of traitors are on the verge of being exposed. If only they could be summarily hanged.
This is the exposure part of winning.
I’ll take options #2 and #3, please.
The US Deep State has been pulling all the strings on this war.
What happened to Trump’s pledge to end this war in 24 hours? Never mind…we all know the answer.
There is a 4th option. He knows the truth and he is lying deliberately.
Well Mr. Cornyn. How long has Ukraine had Starshield and which Senators approved of it?
I’m voting #1. He also didn’t know that FISA Section 702 was used to target Americans domestically at that (they shouldn’t be, but they are). Of course that might have had alternative options as well, like he knew but was lying to get the renewal to pass. I’ve also heard that the Senators are also either deliberately to sow confusion, or mistakenly have conflated Starlink with Starshield, so there’s that as well. Sometimes I wonder how well our Senators and Representatives read the material.
RINO is DONE. Just a few more to get now. Cornyn is a Bushie. Always has been. The Bushes and Obozo’s and Bribeden’s are ALL exposed and finished. Take America back.
This is going to blow up so bad for them. Make me think of this.
Or this one This is great. Don’t Get Mad, Get Even!
Cornyn, Tillis and Shaheen. Say not more.
O what a tangled web we weave when we practice to deceive…
Good Luck with that investigation Outgoing Senator John Cornyn chasing the internet rabbit down the hole. 😛
Why is my internet slow?
https://www.astound.com/learn/internet/why-is-my-internet-so-slow/
Slow internet speeds often stem from network congestion during peak hours, outdated hardware unable to support modern standards like WiFi 6, and wireless signal interference from household appliances. Physical distance and obstructions between a device and the router further degrade broadband signals, while background applications and an excessive number of connected devices drain available bandwidth. To diagnose these issues, users can run VPN-assisted speed tests, check individual devices for malware, and analyze network traffic via router admin interfaces. Practical solutions to optimize performance include upgrading to WiFi 6 or mesh hardware, configuring Quality of Service (QoS) router settings, and minimizing physical interference. However, external variables like internet service provider (ISP) throttling and infrastructure damage can also impact overall connectivity.
They have joined a uniparty VIP club that you have to sell your soul to join. I have heard that the initiation into the club requires you to do horrible things on tape. Only the empty need apply.
…..
Absolutely.
Someone PLEASE Explain the difference between Starlink and Starshield to those idiots
What is Zelinsky nose that he is getting no more help from the US with Trump in charge and is in collusion with the Democrats and the treason that’s Republicans to lie about Starlink/StarShield to get the impeachment ball rolling?
What if Zelinsky is lying about the whole Starlink thing and it was never slowed down but he wants to get Trump impeached so he got the ball rolling? In collusion with the Dem senators and Congress members and the Republicans who lost their elections, along with the Seditious 6?
I am thankful President Trump is at the helm.
I look forward to his response. I’m sure it will be good.
Option 4: Cornyn is faking an “oopsie!” by revealing something, in the hopes of wrecking any chance of peace. Frankly, this is what this looks like to me.
#4 – as we learned in 2019, Zelensky was handpicked and installed in Ukraine to lead the neocon-globalist overthrow of Russia. When 45 sniffed around the fraud then, we got hoax impeachment 1.
Now we see out going Rinos (Cornyn did write this text) questioning the Russia/diesel deal and now this. They are desperate for war and will do (and tweet) anything to keep their failing plan going…just another psyop/narrative crafting effort by this sad senators handlers…
Hope you lived your best life this weekend!
My belief he is full of BS.
Christopher Steele type garbage, setting up another reason for impeachment scam.
The dork cornhole is working with the demonrats to get President Trump and make his next 2 years fighting impeachment and lawsuit.
John Cornyn’s punk TDS ass is obviously working with the Texas Oilmen Billionaires and Zelensky’s Scamming ass to inflate oil, Diesel and Gasoline worldwide to gouge the consumers…….. that needs Investigating I do believe.
I’m looking at a forth option for Cornyn’s public statement:
John Cornyn (and Thom Tillis) are RINOS grazing with a herd of MAGA Elephants, so Cornyn is horning around where he has no business and making a general nuisance of himself to get back at Trump for endorsing Paxton and ending his political career!
Definitely Vote for Option 3. Cornyn is a scorned Senator, and he wants political retribution. He is likely trying to stop the diesel deal between Russia and USA to keep oil prices high.
Option #4: Cornyn is going scorched earth. Cornyn knows the difference, stated the erroneous claim, and is sitting back to watch the geopolitical firestorm.
If either #2 or #3, then hasn’t Cornyn violated his national security clearance?
Cornyn….One of many which needs to be hanged!
#4 Trump and Rubio do know, but there isn’t much they can about it.
Based on Coryn coming out divulging this information, and the fact that Thune is involved. I would say #4 is more likely.
