Trump Orders U.S. Air Strike That Kills Top Iranian Commander in Baghdad

  Official statement from the Pentagon: At the direction of the President, the U.S. military has taken decisive defensive action to protect U.S. personnel abroad by killing Qasem Soleimani, the head of the Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps-Quds Force, a U.S.-designated Foreign Terrorist Organization. General Soleimani was actively developing plans to attack American diplomats and service […]

His Name Was Mohammed Alshamrani

  If I had to guess, I’d say he’s probably from Belgium: Four people are dead including the suspect after an active shooting incident at a naval base in Pensacola, Florida, police said. The shooter was identified as Mohammed Alshamrani, a Saudi national [oops, I guessed wrong — RSM] and member of the country’s air […]

Report: U.S. Special Operations Raid Kills ISIS Leader Abu Bakr al-Baghdadi

  The identification is still tentative: A “high value ISIS target” believed to be Abu Bakr al-Baghdadi has been killed by U.S.-led forces in Idlib, Syria, a well-placed military source told Fox News on Saturday night. The U.S. military cannot yet confirm the identity of the deceased target. But at 9:23 p.m. Saturday, President Trump […]

Happy Fourth of July, You Fascists!

  The Democrats are now a party of paranoid conspiracy theorists: Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez (D-N.Y.) said in a new interview that she believes the United States is heading in a fascist direction under President Trump. “Are we headed to fascism? Yes. I don’t think there’s a question,” Ocasio-Cortez told Yahoo News earlier this week after […]

Report: Trump Cancels Strike Against Iran

If true, this is good news: Officials said the president had initially approved attacks on a handful of Iranian targets, like radar and missile batteries. The operation was underway in its early stages when it was called off, a senior administration official said. Planes were in the air and ships were in position, but no […]

Trump Goes to Iraq, #FakeNews Media Embarrass Themselves

  After the #FakeNews media and #NeverTrump ex-Republicans had gone all-in on President Trump’s supposedly historic lack of patriotism, it was discovered that the Commander-in-Chief had been secretly in transit to Iraq even while these headlines and tweets were being written: President Donald Trump made a surprise trip to Iraq on Wednesday to visit the […]

Surprised? Obama’s ‘Gender Integration’ Agenda Is Wrecking the U.S. Military

  There are some things which must be excluded from military life if morale and esprit de corps are to be maintained. The stark insanity of rescinding Article 125 of the UCMJ was accompanied by a “gender integration” agenda, with predictable results: One of the first women to enter the Marine Corps infantry is being […]

The Few, the Proud, the Normal

  A concern for operational security prohibits me from bragging too much on my son’s achievements, but I suppose people can count the stripes and figure out that his military career is going pretty well. He serves in what is routinely called an “elite” unit. In the 21st century, however, merely being in the military […]
