Secretary of War Vows to Restore Strength and Standards to U.S. Forces

By Tyler O’Neil | Commentary, The Daily Signal I’ve witnessed many moments of “America is back” catharsis this year, but few have been quite as inspiring as Secretary of War Pete Hegseth’s declaration that he will strive to make every unit the efficient killing machine that he’d be proud to see his own son enlist to join. Speaking at the Marine base in Quantico, Virginia, Tuesday, Hegseth didn’t just discard what he rightly described as the “debris” of wokeness at the War Department—he also laid out a clear litmus test as he looks to whip the military into tip-top shape: what he called the new War Department golden rule. “Would I want my eldest son, who is 15 years old, eventually joining the types of formations that we are currently building?” the secretary asked. ...

FBI informant exposed as serial killer after years of deception

BY Peter D'Abrosca | FOX NEWS Scott Kimball received 70-year sentence for killing four people while working as confidential informant DENVER – A former FBI agent says a serial killer who doubled as an FBI informant for years manipulated agents into believing he was helping them, all the while preying on unsuspecting victims.  Scott Kimball will likely spend the rest of his life in a federal prison in Colorado after he was sentenced to 70 years in 2009. He pleaded guilty to killing four people between 2003 and 2004, and his number of victims could be much higher, according to former FBI Special Agent Jonny Grusing.  "He made a game out of tricking the FBI," Grusing told Fox News Digital, adding that Kimball's case was unprecedented. "As long as...

Situational Outrage: How Democrats Normalize Political Violence

By Brian C. Joondeph | Commentary, American Thinker Two recent House votes reveal a troubling trend about the current stance of one of America’s major political parties. In June, following the assassination of Minnesota legislator Melissa Hortman, a Democrat, the House acted swiftly and unanimously to condemn political violence. The vote was clear and bipartisan, with every member present indicating that killing a public official is beyond partisan bounds. Weeks later, after the assassination of Charlie Kirk, a resolution to condemn his murder and reject political violence split the House. Leadership urged support, but many Democrats voted no, abstained, or stayed away. Progressive leaders used the moment to disparage Kirk’s life and work. The split was so sharp that House cons...

Trump did not elaborate on the precise terms of a ceasefire, exit, or demilitarization plans for Gaza, or hostage-prisoner swap arrangements. He has previously said that both Israel and Hamas have agreed to indirect talks later this week in Qatar. Meanwhile, Vice President&n...

Trump closes commercial trucking loophole after deadly crashes involving illegal immigrant drivers

By Elizabeth Troutman Mitchell | The Daily Signal Secretary of Transportation Sean Duffy announced a plan Friday to prevent illegal aliens from driving commercial trucks in the United States. “The process for issuing [commercial drivers’ licenses] is absolutely 100% broken,” Duffy said at a press conference. “It has become a threat to public safety, and it is a national emergency that requires action right. https://twitter.com/TheElizMitchell/status/1971572076030152982 The announcement comes after an illegal alien truck driver killed three people in a Florida traffic crash while making an illegal U-turn. He apparently was not able to understand the street signs. California had issued the commercial driver’s license. “The combination of a catastrophic failure of states t...

Antifa’s history is not what its defenders claim

By Jerry Dunleavy | Just the News The U.S.-based Antifa movement has embraced the label and symbols of Germany's "Antifaschistische Aktion" — a Communist group whose actions enabled the Nazis to take power. The modern iteration of the militant Antifa movement draws its name, symbolism, and inspiration from Antifaschistische Aktion — a project of the German Communist Party in the 1920s and 1930s which targeted center-left parties as the true fascist enemy and aided in the rise to power of Adolf Hitler and the Nazi Party. Antifaschistische Aktion was founded in 1932 by the Communist Party of Germany (KPD), which viciously opposed the more moderate leftist Social Democratic Party of Germany (SPD), dividing the opposition and directly contributing to the successful rise of the Nationa...

Texas ICE Attacker Had Roots in Liberal, Anti-Law Enforcement Family

By Matt Vespa | Townhall This will be another test to determine whether the legacy media’s power is truly waning. I think it is—they can no longer control narratives. The ones they trot out to distract us are easily dismissed as bunk. Still, we had another politically motivated attack in Texas yesterday, where Joshua Jahn, 29, opened fire on an ICE facility in Dallas, killing two detainees and injuring another before he committed suicide. No, he was not a right-winger. He was targeting federal vehicles. Jahn also had anti-ICE messaging on the ammunition. https://twitter.com/FoxNews/status/1970834192989827304 https://twitter.com/FBIDirectorKash/status/1970877754221498599 https://twitter.com/townhallcom/status/1970872533454111131 Now, his family roots have been revealed,...

Gold Card residency rewards those investing in America, not exploiting it

By Brian C. Joondeph | Commentary, American Thinker President Donald Trump’s two recent executive orders, one imposing a $100,000 annual fee on H-1B visas and the other launching the “Gold Card” fast-track residency program, represent the most significant immigration reforms in decades.  Image by ChatGPT They flip the incentive structure that has for years favored multinational corporations and global outsourcing firms over American workers, while also tackling long-ignored national security risks. As a policy, open borders is one area where Democrats and many Republicans agree. Democrats want new voters, while the Chamber of Commerce and Wall Street Journal Republicans want cheap labor. President George W. Bush, backed by Senator John McCain, in 2007, pushed for “comp...

Trump Calls Out UN Failures in Fiery Speech Against Globalism

By Just the News staff | Just the News Representatives from several nations met in New York ahead of the Tuesday event as part of a summit to reaffirm support for a two-state solution to the Israel-Palestine conflict. Nations supporting the idea have yet to explain how it would work. President Donald Trump’s Tuesday speech to the United Nations General Assembly saw him excoriate the international body as ineffective and forecast Washington putting more distance between itself and the UN. Trump accused the United Nations of leaving the job of peacekeeping to him, highlighting the many global conflicts that he resolved in the first seven months of his presidency. Among those, Trump managed to speedily resolve conflicts between India and Pakistan, Armenia and Azerbaijan, and Rwanda a...
