Pete Hegseth Defense Sec. Pete Hegseth Announces New Memorandum on Combat Arms Standards Washington, D.C. – March 31, 2025 In a video posted to social media, Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth announced the release of a new memorandum aimed at reinforcing equal and rigorous combat arms standards for all military personnel, regardless of gender.

"One Standard for All" “For far too long, we allowed standards to slip, with different requirements for men and women in combat arms military occupational specialties (MOS).

  Karoline Leavitt Karoline Leavitt Discusses The Admin’s Decision To Pick The Press Allowed To Ask Trump Questions Washington, D.C. – During Tuesday's White House Press Briefing, Press Secretary Karoline Leavitt addressed questions regarding the Trump Administration's new policy on selecting reporters who will be granted the opportunity to cover President Donald Trump in high-profile settings. The policy follows a recent court ruling by Judge McFadden, who dismissed a lawsuit filed by the Associated Press (AP) against the White House.

During the briefing, a reporter questioned Leavitt on whether the administration would consider dissolving the White House Correspondents' Association (WHCA), given the ruling's acknowledgment that the organization has no formal authority over press access.

Stefanik emphasized that the upcoming debate will highlight a ...

Photo credit: Gage Skidmore/CC BY-SA 2.0,  via Flickr During a forum on Monday discussing the attempted assassination of former President Donald Trump, Rep. Cory Mills (R-FL) took a direct approach in questioning the details of the incident. Mills, known for his no-nonsense style, focused on the exact number of shots fired during the rally, which has been a point of intense scrutiny. Mills asked the SWAT sniper, "Tell me exactly how many rounds and how many shots were fired." The sniper, who was part of the investigation team, responded with precise figures: "The total round count that was released after the investigations were done was 10 rounds—eight by the shooter himself, the threat, and two friendly rounds after that." The sniper also noted that while two friendly rounds were fired, confirmation on whether both rounds made an impact has not been possible due to withheld information from the autopsy report. This withholding of information has led to further ques...

President Trump explains more about his new social media site "Truth Social" | Latest Statement on TMTG

  Photo "Donald Trump" by  Dan Scavino Latest Statement on TMTG by the 45th President Donald J. Trump Last week, I announced the creation of a major new company that will challenge the dominance of the Big Tech giants and Big Media bosses. Today I want to explain more about what I am doing and why. For me, this endeavor is about much more than politics. This is about saving our country. America has always been a nation of smart, spirited, and independent people who take pride in thinking for themselves. We admire those who aren’t afraid to speak their minds, or go against the tide. Yet suddenly, we find ourselves being censored and dictated to by a small group of self-righteous scolds and self-appointed arbiters of what everyone else is allowed to think, say, share, and do. Nowhere is this censorship more dangerous and brazen than on social media, the public square of our times. We have seen renowned medical doctors being banned from platforms for contradicting “health author...
