The U.S. Army should spend it's time planning and training in an effort to avoid losing the next war.

After Trump is elected and sworn in, he should order those Army people to come to the Oval Office, stand at attention with toes and noses touching the wall while they sing “I’m a little teapot…”. Film at 11:00, I hope.

Nothing political about this "rebuke" at all. Nope, our military is not totally coopted by toe-sucking, Democrat/Marxist operatives, and its ranks filled with namby-pamby, transsexual, blue-haired twits.

Well, whaddya expect from the 0bamanite, Leftist, America Hating poltroons that currently run the military? The only reason that the nations that are enemies of America haven't fully invaded us in a 'hot war' is that they understand that our own 'leadership' is destroying our national defense capabilities even faster and more completely than their bombs and artillery can do.

The Arlington National Cemetery is run by the Army. The Army's ultimate commander is Sleepy, Creepy, Corrupt President in Name Only, Joe Biden with NoBama pulling his puppet strings. The Democraps are masters of projection. If they had gone to the cemetery to honor the fallen, they would have seen it mostly as a photo and political opportunity, so they thought President Trump going there had to be a photo and political opportunity. Such small minds and petty tyrants we have for our national "leaders".

Gentlemen, As a citizen of the United States of America, and technically one of your employers, I firmly salute you... With two middle fingers! Neither you nor your subordinates had any business interfering with Gold Star families who, if they had political motive, acted within their Rights under the Constitution you swore to protect and uphold. If they invited former President Trump, that is their business. If Kamala Harris or Joe Biden had objections they could have been there. You are a disgrace to your ranks and uniforms. Your recent subjection of Social matters such as DEI, LGBTQ, Transgenderism, Global Warming and other matters are superfluous, nay HARMFUL to the mission of the military to protect this Nation. If you were MEN and not political hacks, you would resign, immediately. Unfortunately, it appears We the People will have to drag you kicking and screaming like the vermin you resemble, and put you on trial for your actions and character while serving in the highest ranks of this nation's soldiers. May God have mercy in your souls.

All articles relating to this alleged altercation say they are rebuking Trump. Trump himself was not involved in any altercation. Sounds like the issue was with the photographer. Why did the Arlington Cemetery immediately determine that the photographer was photographing/filming for political purposes? Do they do the same for all ceremonies where politicians are involved, or just because it was Trump? The Army should answer these questions before implicating itself in a politically biased hit job.

Sounds like the Biden-Harris appointed high mucky-mucks running the US Army these days by making that so-called statement supposedly rebuking Trump essentially got the Army involved in partisan politics. As they certainly would not have done that unless there were told to do that “wink-wink” by the Biden-Harris politburo ensconced in the White House.

Brennan, who previously represented Trump, said on “CNN News Central” that Bragg’s lack of opposition to Trump’s request, along with Merchan’s language in an order delaying the original July 11 sentencing, suggests the Sept. 18 date will not be upheld.

In a recent and now widely seen Tucker Carlson interview, a guest historian named Darryl Cooper casually presented a surprising number of flawed theories about World War II. He focused his misstatements on the respective roles of Winston Churchill’s Britain and Adolf Hitler’s Germany—especially in matters of the treatment and fate of Russian prisoners, the Holocaust, the systematic slaughtering of Jews, strategic bombing, and the nature of Winston Churchill. Because of the size of the audience Carlson introduced him to, and because of the gravity of Cooper’s falsehoods, his assertions deserve a response.

Republican presidential nominee Donald Trump is losing his edge on immigration to Vice President Kamala Harris following her recent shift toward the middle on the issue and a drop in illegal immigration at the southern border. In a matter of weeks, Democratic nominee Harris has cut into the former president’s lead on border security and immigration, according to recent polls conducted nationwide that surveyed voters on which candidate was better on the issue. Polling conducted since Harris replaced President Joe Biden a month ago revealed that the candidate whom Republicans have decried as an ineffective “border czar” has the backing of a growing share of voters

As a presidential candidate in 2020, Kamala Harris supported several radical proposals to phase out gasoline-powered cars by 2040. She also supported a mandate that required 50% of new car sales by 2030 to be EVs. That was when Harris was running against other Democrats who vied with each other to see who was the most hysterical environmentalist and who could ban gas-powered cars the quickest. This is 2024, and public attitudes toward EV mandates and phasing out gas cars have changed considerably. Seventy percent of Americans oppose phasing out gas cars at any time while demand for EVs has cooled to the point that auto manufacturers around the world are reinvesting

The indictment accuses two Russian nationals, employed by Kremlin-operated media outlet Russia Today, of funneling nearly $10 million to covertly fund and direct the Tennessee company. Here's what we know about Tenet Media and its possible connection with the accusations laid out in the indictment. What is Tenet Media?
