> As of January, the Pentagon has planned a six-month review of women in ground combat jobs. But we already know women perform effectively in combat. Kris Fuhr, a West Point graduate who worked on gender integration at Army Forces Command, called the review “a solution for a problem that doesn’t exist,” and pointed to an Army study running from 2018 to 2023 showing women in ground combat units performed as well as men, and in some cases better.

Pete Hegseth Is Pushing Women Out of the Military. That Makes Us Weaker.

His "anti-woke" campaign is thinning the ranks of the people we can’t afford to lose.

Congrats to @chedrickgreene who won the special #election for the #Michigan state senate last night. A Saginaw fire captain and former U.S. Marine, he won with 60% of the vote, defeating Republican Jason Tunney in a crucial special election that keeps Democrats in control of the chamber through the end of 2026. #uspol #uspolitics #VoteVets #elections

Why it matters:

Veterans groups lending muscle to a Democratic candidate makes the GOP’s painfully predictable attacks look worse — and gives Turek real credibility in a state that respects service.

Generations of Black patriots have fought in every battle. In every war.

They fought when that freedom didn’t include them.

While progress has been made, there’s more to be done.

Black History is American History.

My problem with current liberal media is HOW CALMLY they discuss the military being seized to oppress other# Americans.

Shout! Slam the table! Demand they be withdrawn!
