Hundreds of US generals and admirals around the globe have been called to Virginia for a meeting with Secretary of Waah Hedgehog next Tuesday, several US officials told CNN, though the reason for the meeting is unclear. The meeting is expected to be held at the military installation in Quantico, Virginia, multiple officials said, adding that no one seems to know what the meeting is about, including the general and flag officers themselves, or why it was suddenly added to the calendar.

His executive orders punishing law firms for their expressive activity (by the way, the firms that challenged the executive orders are 4-0 in the courts) were compelling evidence that he disdains the First Amendment. His attacks on universities stand as Exhibit B. And after CBS cancelled Stephen Colbert, Trump boasted on Truth Social that Jimmy Kimmel would be next. So we saw this coming.

A request for lease proposal identified the need for a 25,000-square-meter climate-controlled warehouse and maintenance shop to be used by the U.S. Navy within the Subic Bay Metropolitan Authority Freeport area.

West Point and other U.S. military academies have been at the center of culture war issues that have been the focus of U.S. Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth, a fierce opponent of diversity, equity and inclusion initiatives in the military. Hegseth argues that discussions surrounding diversity divide the military. Under his watch, the Pentagon has purged language he deems divisive from websites and U.S. military facilities. He has also banned celebrations like Black History Month and Women's History Month.

Everything Green and her ilk says is a bastardization of the Christian faith, and it is harmful not just to the church but to all Americans. Christians will not ignore this hateful hijacking of Jesus’s name. And we will stand against America’s false prophets in this fall’s midterm season and beyond.

So while the names of the players and some of their rhetoric may change, the essence of the MAGA movement will not. Nor will appropriating the language of Jesus or the Bible make those with hate or greed in their heart holy. This is why our forefathers came up with the concept of separation of state and religion. It was a lessoned learned that resonates to this day... The principle in the U.S. is based on two clauses of the First Amendment: The Establishment Clause: "Congress shall make no law respecting an establishment of religion..." This is interpreted to mean the government cannot establish an official religion or favor one religion over another. The Free Exercise Clause: "...or prohibiting the free exercise thereof." This protects the right of individuals to practice their religion freely. The First Amendment is a part of the United States Bill of Rights that protects five fundamental freedoms: Freedom of religion Freedom of speech Freedom of the press Freedom of assembly The right to petition the government

This escalation is in my opinion, a direct consequence of trump's prior statements about clearing Gaza and turning it into a resort. As a result of his stupidity, Israel took those comments seriously and has been pushing to get rid of Palestinians in their own homeland. Egypt for its part has slowly begun to build up forces on its border including the Sinai... Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu has asked the trump administration to press Egypt to scale down a recent military build-up in the Sinai Peninsula, one U.S. official and two Israeli officials tell Axios. Why it matters: Israeli officials say the Egyptian military build-up in Sinai has become another significant point of tension between the countries as the war in Gaza continues. ** trump has done the complete opposite in bringing peace to two different conflicts. The Gaza conflict as well as the invasion of Ukraine has escalated thanks in part to trump's very strange way of thinking, the words that come out of his mouth, & his consequential actions that have made things worse.

JALALABAD, Afghanistan -- The Taliban government on Sunday rejected U.S. President Donald trump’s bid to retake Bagram Air Base, four years after America’s chaotic withdrawal from Afghanistan left the sprawling military facility in the Taliban's hands. Trump on Saturday renewed his call to reestablish a U.S. presence at Bagram, even saying “we’re talking now to Afghanistan” about the matter. He did not offer further details about the purported conversations. Asked by a reporter if he’d consider deploying U.S. troops to take the base, Trump demurred.
