Trump Pentagon chief’s 'fragile masculinity' is making the US weaker: reporter - NewsBreak Since assuming the self-titled role of “Secretary of War,” machismo has been at the core of Pete Hegseth’s military leadership. According to a new op-ed by

Trump’s DHS Nominee Made Profitable Stock Purchases Days Before US Military Strikes As a member of a key Senate committee, Mullin was privy to information regarding planned military actions.

Anyone, Democrat or Republican, a fave of mine or not, should resign if acting on inside information for financial gain. At the very least, it's immoral. This dude shouldn't be a member of the Senate any longer and certainly shouldn't be heading Homeland Security.

Palestinians in Gaza Slam Kushner’s Reconstruction Plan as Disguised Theft The people “want to rebuild it with their own hands — without foreign pressure or intervention,” said one Gazan.

Democrats ask what happened to millions earmarked for Trump’s library ABC, Meta, Paramount and X reportedly agreed to pay at least $63 million in settlements with the president. The original fund was dissolved last year.

Hey, it will help with 'war' effort.
