  1. "To all Airlines, Pilots, Drug Dealers, and Human Traffickers, please consider THE AIRSPACE ABOVE AND SURROUNDING VENEZUELA TO BE CLOSED IN ITS ENTIRETY," Trump said in a post. Trump's comments come about a week after the Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) warned airlines about flying over Venezuela. The FAA issued a notice urging airlines to "exercise caution" due to the "potentially hazardous situation" in the region.
  2. This guy is so strange... While speaking to troops at Ford Campbell, Ky., on Nov. 26, Vance, 41, railed against the bird, asking the troops, “Who really likes — be honest with yourself — who really likes turkey?”
  3. Shame on the U.S. Navy... When two survivors emerged from the wreckage, a Special Operations commander overseeing the attack ordered a second strike to comply with Hegseth’s instructions to “kill everybody,” according to The Washington Post, citing officials with direct knowledge of the operation.
  4. People briefed on the “double-tap” strike, said they were concerned that it could violate the law of armed conflict, which prohibits the execution of an enemy combatant who is “hors de combat,” or taken out of the fight due to injury or surrender. “They’re breaking the law either way,” said Sarah Harrison, a former associate general counsel at the Pentagon who now serves as a senior analyst at the Crisis Group think tank. “They’re killing civilians in the first place, and then if you assume they’re combatants, it’s also unlawful — under the law of armed conflict, if somebody is ‘hors de combat’ and no longer able to fight, then they have to be treated humanely.”
  5. trump likes to pick fights with many smaller countries... Amid a buildup of U.S. military forces near Venezuela and strikes on alleged drug boats, President Donald Trump told U.S. troops on Thanksgiving that the military operation will soon include strikes on land.

  7. Tobias Barrington Wolff, a professor at The University of Pennsylvania's Penn Carey Law School with expertise in constitutional law and civil rights, told me that Kelly has fundamental legal protections he can invoke. "Sen. Kelly is a civilian and a United States senator speaking in the political arena about matters of vital public concern," Wolff emailed. "His speech is fully protected by the First Amendment, and this administration cannot use the Uniform Code of Military Justice to punish him."
  8. Eric Davis, an astrophysicist who was a scientific advisor on the since-disbanded Advanced Aerospace Threat Identification Program, created by Congress in 2007 by late Sen. Harry Reid (D-NV), claimed that Bush confirmed to him in a private conversation details of contact between the military and an alien creature at Holloman Air Force Base in Otero County.

  10. And obviously an illegal order... This is blatant murder. As a nation of laws, we don’t intentionally target and kill civilians, regardless of the reasons or purported “legal” justifications. The Constitution, as well as the Uniform Code of Military Justice, demands that we don’t. Make no mistake about it: Refuse these orders and you can kiss your military career goodbye. But in my mind, the choice between a career and a human life should be a no-brainer.

  12. This is pure fraud and abuse of taxpayer's money... In recent days, five U.S. senators and two representatives requested documents from the Department of Homeland Security and a formal investigation into how a firm closely tied to DHS Secretary Kristi Noem ended up receiving money from a $220 million, taxpayer-funded ad campaign.
  13. A Harvard study found that the children of women who contracted COVID-19 while pregnant may be at an increased risk for autism and other diagnoses, raising new concerns about the CDC’s decision to stop recommending the vaccine to pregnant women.
  14. The Navy is walking away from the Constellation-class frigate program to focus on new classes of warships the service can build faster, Secretary of the Navy John Phelan announced Tuesday on social media. Under the terms negotiated with shipbuilder Fincantieri Marinette Marine, the Wisconsin shipyard will continue to build Constellation (FFG-62) and Congress (FFG-63) but will cancel the next four planned warships.

  16. A U.S. Navy sailor assigned to the Pacific Missile Range Facility at Barking Sands died Saturday after attempting to rescue children from high surf at a Kauai beach, authorities said.
  17. He should be Secretary of Defense.
  18. Remember that he said to disobey "illegal orders", factual and within his freedom of speech rights to say so... And as the trump administration takes away our rights Publicly, Secretary of Defense Pete Hegseth has been highly critical of the six Democratic lawmakers who released a video last week urging military service members to disobey illegal orders, calling the lawmakers the “Seditious Six” and categorizing their message as “despicable, reckless, and false.” That criticism has particularly focused on Sen. Mark Kelly, the member of the group who had the longest tenure in the military and who achieved the highest rank of captain in the Navy.
  19. Donald Trump defended Steve Witkoff late Tuesday night after a report revealed the U.S. president’s Russia envoy had secretly advised the Kremlin on how to sell a Ukraine deal.
  20. What a scum bucket. Don't get the kids involved in an adult fight. Where are they going to meet? Hedgehog’s plea also asks that the military no longer allow Scouts to meet at US military institutions.
  21. It marks an escalation from the Trump administration, which has painted the “illegal orders” video as a dangerous undermining of the president’s authority as commander in chief and vowed to take it seriously. The Democrats, meanwhile, have argued they were simply restating the law.
