Navy Medical Corps Legends: Vice Admiral Joel Boone, MC, USN

WASHINGTON — A decade ago this month, America found out that Hillary Clinton used a private email server to communicate while serving as secretary of state — and later that a handful of the messages had classified markings. The revelations dogged her 2016 presidential campaign, leading to a lengthy FBI investigation and Donald Trump’s promise to put her in prison — “lock her up!” his rally crowds chanted — if he won. He was the victor, but he didn’t pursue a tough-to-win prosecution of Clinton.

Fox News political commentator Brit Hume on Monday afternoon pushed back on Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth’s claim that “nobody was texting war plans” after news broke that Hegseth and other Trump administration officials discussed plans for an attack against Houthi rebels in Yemen on a text chain that mistakenly included the editor-in-chief for The Atlantic.

U.S. national-security leaders included me in a group chat about upcoming military strikes in Yemen. I didn’t think it could be real. Then the bombs started falling.

WASHINGTON (AP) — As congressional lawmakers scramble to respond to President Donald Trump’s slashing of the federal government, one group is already taking a front and center role: military veterans. From layoffs at the Department of Veterans Affairs to a Pentagon purge of archives that documented diversity in the military, veterans have been acutely affected by Trump’s actions. And with the Republican president determined to continue slashing the federal government, the burden will only grow on veterans, who make up roughly 30% of the federal workforce and often tap government benefits they earned with their military service.

New London — A six-member jury has acquitted a career Navy Chief from Waterford of sexually assaulting a 14-year-old relative during a sleepover at his home.

WASHINGTON (AP) — Every day over the past few weeks, the Pentagon has faced questions from angry lawmakers, local leaders and citizens over the removal of military heroes and historic mentions from Defense Department websites and social media pages after it purged online content that promoted women or minorities.

“maliciously false information” The Pentagon has initiated an investigation incorporating polygraph tests to hunt down leakers after Elon Musk called for the prosecution of any Defense Department officials spreading “maliciously false information” about his dealings with the military.

Warning The memorandum from the Office of the Under Secretary of Defense says the Department of Defense will review service members’ medical records, and within 45 days give them self-assessment questionnaires, to determine whether they have a current diagnosis, history, or symptoms of gender dysphoria, which would make them ineligible for continued service.

The president is the commander-in-chief of the U.S. armed forces. But since the days of George Washington, the military has been dedicated to serving the nation, not a specific person or political agenda. I know this because I served 36 years in the U.S. Air Force before retiring as a major general. Even now, as a lecturer in history, national security and constitutional law, I know that nonpartisanship is central to the military’s primary mission of defending the country. Trump’s actions could raise concerns about whether he is trying to change those centuries of precedent.

Grab Your Popcorn as the Last Thing Coming From Our Government (and Doge,) is the Truth. Read on... Trump said: "How ridiculous. China will not even be mentioned or discussed," Trump wrote. Hegseth said: Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth said Thursday night on X:X "We look forward to welcoming @elonmusk to the Pentagon tomorrow. But the fake news delivers again — this is NOT a meeting about 'top secret China war plans.' It's an informal meeting about innovation, efficiencies & smarter production. Gonna be great!" Musk said: Musk also weighed in on X, the platform he owns, saying "The New York Times is pure propaganda. Also, I look forward to the prosecutions of those at the Pentagon who are leaking maliciously false information to NYT. They will be found." Pentagon said: The Pentagon briefing was set to take place in a secure meeting place normally used by the Joint Chiefs, known informally as "the tank." This is according to a U.S. official, who spoke to NPR on condition of anonymity. The official also said that Adm. Samuel Paparo, head of U.S. Indo-Pacific Command, which includes China, was expected to take part virtually from Sri Lanka. Pentagon officials said the briefing would focus on China but would only contain unclassified information. NPR said: But, in the end, none of that appears to have happened. A Pentagon official who was not authorized to speak publicly said that Musk did not go to "the tank" but instead met with Hegseth in his office. It's unclear if the apparent change of plans was in reaction to the news coverage about Musk and the purpose of the visit. I say: So if this isn't true, why did Trump contradict the Pentagon's statement and why is Musk threatening anyone in the Pentagon? Elon Musk's Pentagon visit sparks more questions about his access to sensitive files

Elon Musk threatens Pentagon leakers after NYT report on secret China war briefing So if the story is not true, why would Musk threaten anyone on this topic. This is one thing I know... Both Musk and Trump are well known for lying in public. So regardless if it is true or not, both Musk and Trump's credibility are an issue. It's also said that the meeting will be in a secure room and not Hegseth's office and that China will be discussed. Musk has no business discussing classified information about China especially if you consider the fact that he has business ties in China (Tesla Factory,) and that he has had discussions with Putin. The truth of the matter is that Musk has no business discussing any classified military matters.

Giving Elon Musk access to some of the nation’s most closely guarded military secrets is a major expansion of his role as an adviser to President Trump and highlights his conflicts of interest.

VICTORIA, British Columbia — Faced with threats of economic punishment and annexation from the Trump administration, Canada has launched a series of initiatives to shift its traditional defense links with the U.S. over to Europe and other regions. Foreign Affairs Minister Melanie Joly confirmed Wednesday to journalists that Canada has been in negotiations with European government officials about a joint defense alliance that would include joint procurement projects.

The Pentagon said Tuesday it will cut between 50,000 and 60,000 civilian jobs -- or 5% to 8% of a workforce that includes thousands of veterans -- through firings, resignations and a hiring freeze to meet Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth's (trump) goal.

FALLS CHURCH, Va. – Have you ever felt intimidated by the dentist? Dental related stress is common. The stress of going to the dentist often leads people to feel hesitant. If you’re feeling unsure at the dentist, then you may not ask any questions or express your discomfort with a procedure. However, taking charge of your oral health isn't just about brushing and flossing daily; it's about actively participating in your dental care journey.

Judging by some of the headlines today in Russia, Moscow believes that the latest telephone conversation between Presidents Putin and Trump went well - certainly for the Kremlim. "Record-long Putin-Trump call," declares Komsomolskaya Pravda. The paper's website adds: "As things stand Russia has scored a diplomatic victory here."
