Federal judge temporarily blocks Trump administration from sending National Guard troops to Oregon A federal judge temporarily blocked the Trump administration from deploying any National Guard units to Oregon, including the California National Guard.

โ€œImmergut, who was appointed by Trump in his first term, seemed incredulous that the president moved to send National Guard troops to Oregon from neighboring California and then from Texas on Sunday, just hours after she had ruled the first time.โ€

Hegsethโ€™s speech reminds me of Katy Perryโ€™s trip to space.

I donโ€™t think itโ€™ll be received the way he thought it would.

He put our military leadersโ€™ security at risk and wasted millions to call them fat and lazy.

Then Trump gets the facts about our forces dead wrong.

Going over like aโ€ฆ

What Is the 'Med Bed' Conspiracy Theory Trump Promoted? Donald Trump posted and deleted an AI video promoting healing "med bed" technology. Origins of this theory are rooted in far-right conspiracy forums.

#OneBattleAfterAnother is awesome. But give credit where credit is due. Liam Neeson did it first.

My grandmother used to have a candy jar on her coffee table that looked exactly like this. It is now โ€œMom Momโ€™s Jelly Bean Jar Spiderโ€, in my own head of course.

Hegseth orders top brass to attend last-minute meeting at Quantico early next week Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth has summoned top military leaders at Quantico, the Virginia Marine Corps base.

For those of you that haven't served, I cannot stress enough how utterly BIZARRE this meeting is.

Bizarre

1 It leaves duty stations around the world without top leaders
2 It's not how the chain of command works. Sec Def's orders should be disseminated down thru the Joint Chiefs
3 It's a logistical nightmare to execute in less than a week, not to mention expensive
4 It's a massive security risk

3 people shot at immigration facility in Dallas and the shooter is dead, official says The director of U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement says three people have been shot at a Dallas ICE facility and the shooter is dead from a self-inflicted gunshot wound.

Itโ€™s another day in America so, of course, thereโ€™s another shooting. Now letโ€™s watch the pundits twist themselves into knots around possible motives as if the real problem isnโ€™t just the guns.
