VARNEY: The Pentagon is sending thousands of Marines to the Middle East. Trump says he doesn't want boots on the ground, so what are these Marines doing there?

SEN. JONI ERNST: Hahaha. Well, they provide a lot of leverage. I love the president when he keeps reporters on their toes.

10. It's been a looooong 11+ years with her as my Senator.

11. What's going on with her?

After her "we're all gonna die" routine about cutting healthcare subsidies, she's now laughing about sending ground troops to a war in Iran? Something is wrong with her.
