For months now, we’ve been concerned by President Trump’s increasingly erratic decision-making and the clear signs he may be suffering from the early stages of dementia. Now Trump’s impaired judgement has caused him to start — and lose — a foolish war and plunge the world economy into chaos.

A Navy reservist whose arrest led to prosecutions of 15 people in a wedding-fraud ring that illegally helped Chinese immigrants enter American military bases has spent enough time behind bars, a federal judge has decided

Many of Trump’s remaining options in Iran risk heavy casualties with dubious chances of success

Newly released DHS data shows the Trump administration has pursued deportation of hundreds of veterans and their families despite earlier promises of protection. Lawmakers say the shift undermines military recruitment, national security, and the government's moral obligation to service members. The policy change marks a sharp reversal from prior administrations’ practices of shielding noncitizen veterans from immigration enforcement.

Hegseth’s complete revocation of shaving chits offered thousands of Black service members an awful choice: Get clean shaven and suffer or be kicked out of the military. It has nothing to do with readiness or capability. A soldier on a shaving chit is no less effective than one who doesn’t need one. It is simply a matter of Hegseth thinking it looks unprofessional (it’s not; ask the Axis powers how much they liked fighting against Sikhs). It may also have been punishment aimed at Black Americans for consistently voting Democratic.

That’s not true. The president was at his Mar-a-Lago estate earlier this month, as the reporter pointed out.

Presidential butt kissers... Enter the craven careerists of his administration, who in their dear leader’s time of need have elevated their public displays of adulation into new echelons of sycophancy, with little consideration for their own dignity.

It is not VA Secretary Doug Collins maximizing choices, its the courts due diligence. In 2024, the Supreme Court ruled in Rudisill v. McDonough that Veterans with multiple qualifying periods of military service could obtain a combined 48 months of both MGIB and PGIB benefits. In January 2025, VA announced that more than 1 million Veterans potentially qualified for additional benefits under Rudisill. In 2025, the U.S. Court of Appeals for Veterans Claims issued a precedential opinion in Perkins v. Collins. The Perkins ruling said Veterans with a single qualifying period of military service could obtain benefits under both PGIB and MGIB if the time-in-service requirements under both programs are met. VA estimates that the Perkins decision may enable an additional 1 million Veterans to receive up to an additional 12 months of benefits.

Many U.S. Navy officers turn down the opportunity to attend the U.S. Naval War College. The prospect of living in scenic Newport while receiving a world-class education is attractive, but many senior officers do not wish to subject their families to the pain of moving twice within a single year.

Iran Claims It Fired Cruise Missiles At US Aircraft Carrier Abraham Lincoln

What started as a jovial interview between CNN’s Kaitlan Collins and Veterans Affairs Secretary Doug Collins – who both chuckled as the host noted he is of “no relation” to her – quickly devolved into a tense confrontation as the Trump cabinet official unleashed an all-out attack on the network. VA sec Doug Collins, you are making statements that are other than the truth - perhaps inspired by the commander-in-chief and Department of WAAH (D'oH!) head hedgehog. "The VA secretary took heat earlier this month when he lashed out at a reporter over claims her reporting was “scaring veterans.”" It is you VA sec Doug Collins, that is scaring vets by firing staff and degrading services. And I would like to know why CNN is hostile to veterans, especially one in Florida where you just had a $5 million defamation suit taking offense at a veteran who is trying to help people. In fact, one of your employees actually said, 'we're going to nail him.'" CNN is not hostile to veterans. Stop kissing trumps butt and improve the VA. That one single incident in no way is indicative of CNN being hostile to vets. In fact, read below you big dummy. Young later filed a separate defamation lawsuit against the Associated Press over their coverage of the verdict, but that case was dismissed, and he was ordered to pay AP's legal fees under Florida’s anti-SLAPP statute, according to reports from Faruki PLL and The Hollywood Reporter.

Two Naval Postgraduate School (NPS) alumni will lead the historic Artemis II mission on a 10-day space flight around the Moon — mission commander retired U.S. Navy Capt. Reid Wiseman and spacecraft pilot U.S. Navy Capt. Victor Glover. The target launch window opens on April 1, 2026, the first of seven possible launch days in April. Artemis II will be the first crewed lunar fly-by in more than 50 years.

The change reflects Hegseth's wider effort to infuse the chaplaincy, and the military more broadly, with more explicitly religious sentiments.
