Republican presidential nominee Donald Trump buried the hatchet with Georgia Governor Brian Kemp (R) this week after the two have repeatedly clashed at various points over the last few years.

“We got to win. We got to win from the top of the ticket on down,” Kemp told Fox News host Sean Hannity this week. “I’ve been saying consistently for a long time, we cannot afford another four years of Joe Biden, Kamala Harris. And I think, you know, Kamala Harris and Tim Walz would be even worse. So we need to send Donald Trump back to the White House. We need to retake the Senate. We need to hold the House. We need to hold our legislative majorities that we have in the great state of Georgia, and it takes hard work, that’s what we’ve been doing.”

Kemp said that his political operation has been hard at work in the ground game for nearly two months knocking on doors and focusing on getting high voter turnout.

“I just want to urge everybody out there, we cannot take this for granted,” he said. “We have got to get the vote out. We gotta stay focused. We gotta stay focused on the future. We need to do like you just did … continue to hammer Kamala Harris’ record and the record of Chuck Schumer and Nancy Pelosi and the other people that have been really for 12 of the last 16 years, punishing the American people.”

“I know the Democrats have been talking about joy at the convention all week, and I feel like the joy is subsiding, and when the sugar high of the convention subsides, people are going to really start thinking, ‘It’s not so joyful when I look at my bank account; it’s not joyful when I can’t make my car payment or my rent payment, or I have to decide whether I’m going to buy gas or buy groceries,'” he continued. “People have not forgotten the disaster at the border and the millions and millions of illegal people that are in our country that are getting better benefits than some of our hard-working Georgians and hardworking Americans out there.”

Iranian-backed Houthi terrorists destroyed an oil tanker traveling in international waters in the Red Sea this week, the third major commercial shipping vessel that the Islamic terror group has sunk over the last year.

EUNAVFOR ASPIDES — an EU military operation in the Red Sea, the Indian Ocean, and the Gulf — said in a statement that the attack on the MV SOUNION happened on Wednesday after the ship did not ask for protection.

“Once the ship was attacked[,] it lost engine power and an operation was dispatched to the ship to rescue the crew,” ASPIDES said in a statement.

“While approaching the area, the EUNAVFOR ASPIDES ship destroyed an Unmanned Surface Vessel (USV) that posed an imminent threat to the ship and the crew,” the statement said. “All on board the MV SOUNION were subsequently rescued and are being transported to Djibouti, the nearest safe port of call. The lives of seafarers and freedom on the high seas are nonnegotiable values and their protection is a key objective of EUNAVFOR ASPIDES.”

The ship was carrying 150,000 tons of crude oil, the group said, noting that the situation now presents a serious “navigational and environmental hazard.”

“It is essential that everyone in the area exercises caution and refrains from any actions that could lead to a deterioration of the current situation,” the statement concluded. “EUNAVFOR ASPIDES with a defensive mandate acts as a credible EU maritime security provider, with the aim to contribute to the freedom of navigation in the area of operation and the safe passage of merchant vessels.”

Houthi terrorists released a video of them destroying the ship after rigging it with explosives.

Video released by the #Houthis seems to show the setting of explosive charges on the deck of the tanker #Sounion off the coast of Yemen in the #RedSea.

At 150k tons, this tanker is almost twice the size of Exxon Valdez and the environmental damage to the region will be massive. pic.twitter.com/EfUbg5o5j9
