Quantico Meeting

War Secretary Pete Hegseth announced Tuesday a slew of new personnel fitness and grooming directives going after “fat general” and “beardos” in the military. The new directives will require all military members to pass two fitness tests a year, regardless of rank, and to meet the highest combat standards previously reserved only for men, Hegseth said during his speech at Quantico to senior military leaders. He also announced he would strictly enforce grooming standards for all military members, with exceptions for special operations forces. Hegseth made elevating standards a top priority of his tenure after years of declining standards often intended to lower barriers to entry and attract more recruits.

Youngkin Orders Virginia Board To Protect

Girls’ Sports, Locker Rooms From Trans-Identifying Men 1 reply
On Thursday, Republican Gov. Glenn Youngkin instructed Virginia’s state health board to devise regulations protecting the sanctity of women’s sports and locker rooms from trans-identifying men.
“The health and safety of women and girls in sex separated spaces and participating in athletic competitions is in serious jeopardy due to irresponsible policies, including those that allow known sex offenders to hunt little girls in public locker rooms,” Youngkin said in a statement. “It is an embarrassment and a tragedy that certain individuals continue to turn a blind eye to these clear violations of the law and of the health, safety, privacy, dignity, and respect of Virginians. This must stop.”
A new gubernatorial candidate has entered the fold in Georgia with an incredibly cringeworthy advertisement to let voters know who she is.
Democratic candidate Ruma Romman posted her campaign ad to social media platform X on Monday where she spouted all the usual leftist drivel about people being put last while big, bad corporations hold down them down. She promised to feed the hungry, increase the minimum wage, open hospitals, and help small businesses. “Georgia belongs to all of us, not just corporations and special interests,” Romman declared in front of a group of paid actors.
Virginia Democratic attorney general nominee Jay Jones was convicted of reckless driving in 2022 after police clocked him speeding at 116 miles per hour on a highway at midnight, according to a new report.
A Virginia state trooper pulled over Jones at 12:55 a.m. in January 2022 for driving 46 miles over the speed limit on Interstate 64, the Richmond Times-Dispatch reported Wednesday, citing court records of his conviction. The incident occurred just weeks after Jones resigned as a state delegate representing the city of Norfolk and months after his loss in Virginia’s 2021 Democratic primary for attorney general.
When we first got close to Dot, DoorDash’s new delivery robot, we looked right into its big blue, pixelated eyes and gave it a kick. A little one. A tap, really.
It’s not WIRED’s policy to be mean to 350-pound hunks of plastic on wheels. But it’s a big, cruel world out there, and delivery robots like Dot will have to face—are already facing, because Dot has just started doing deliveries in metro Phoenix—myriad dangers and challenges.
So many challenges, in fact, that although companies are making big strides in autonomous vehicles—two more companies launched public rides in the US just this month—delivery robots like Dot have followed a rockier road.
This week, federal officials made an astounding announcement: Nearly half of all immigrants in greater Minneapolis were found to have committed some form of immigration fraud.
The fraud, uncovered in a September sweep, came in all kinds — sham marriages, fake death certificates and “other bizarre schemes,” as US Citizenship and Immigration Services Director Joseph Edley put it.
But the revelation was no great surprise to those of us who have followed the settlement of some 100,000 Somali immigrants in Minnesota over the past three decades.
As far back as 2008, the State Department temporarily suspended one of the family reunification programs used by Somali immigrants when DNA testing of applicants
After almost 20 years, PBS is reviving its fan-favorite “Reading Rainbow” kids educational show—this time, with a cast of woke hosts.
If you were looking for another reason to justify the defunding of PBS, now you have one.
“Reading Rainbow,” trademarked by the Western New York Public Broadcasting Association, first aired in 1983 to help kids continue reading through the summer to keep their minds sharp and avoid the “summer loss” phenomenon. The read-along show ran for 26 years until funding dried up in the 2000s.
But on Monday, “Reading Rainbow” posted a short video announcing a new season—meeting with fanfare from
Having grown up Catholic, and having attended Catholic mass quite recently, I feel particular sadness over the following story.
In fact, it reminded me of why I once turned to one of history’s greatest Anglicans, the legendary Christian author C.S. Lewis, for help with understanding what lies at the core of Christianity, as well as why Christians of different denominations feel so strongly about their differences.
In a video posted to YouTube on Tuesday, a reporter from the Catholic television network EWTN asked Pope Leo XIV to help people of faith understand a decision by Cardinal Blase Cupich, Archbishop of Chicago, to honor pro-abortion Democratic Sen. Dick Durbin of Illinois,
Walmart announced Wednesday that it is moving to eliminate synthetic dyes from all of its private-label brand food products.
The world’s largest retailer also pledged to remove more than 30 additional ingredients — such as certain preservatives, artificial sweeteners and fat substitutes — from its private brand foods sold in the U.S., including Great Value, Marketside, Freshness Guaranteed and bettergoods, according to a news release. Walmart said that the move is “a significant step forward in its ongoing mission to provide customers with affordable, high-quality private brand products.”
To the clowns on the Left who think that Charlie Kirk will be forgotten in five years, you’re about to get wrecked. First, most predictions by liberals are trash. They thought Trump couldn’t win again: he steamrolled back into the White House. These people are unhinged, unserious, and unrelatable. Mute their whining, because it’s just incoherent garbage anyway. Kirk was assassinated while answering questions on September 10 at Utah Valley University in Orem. Since then, the outpouring of prayers and calls to action has caught the attention of one unlikely demographic—older Americans.

Wikipedia, launched in 2001, has grown into the seventh most-visited website globally, boasting over 64 million pages (7 million articles) across 329 languages and attracting more than 4 billion visits each month. Officially, Wikipedia operates under the policies of "verifiability" and "neutrality," but in practice, the world's largest online encyclopedia has been hijacked by left-wing activists who manipulate narratives and silence dissenting viewpoints. The danger is no longer confined to everyday readers seeking truth, as today's leading AI models are being trained on biased garbage.
Given this backdrop and Musk's stated pursuit of truth to advance civilization, he revealed Tuesday morning that his team at xAI
The flying of the Chinese flag over Philadelphia City Hall to promote cultural ties has been criticized as supporting the authoritarian government in Beijing.
The flag’s raising by the city’s Office of Immigrant Affairs is to mark the anniversary of the founding of the Chinese Communist Party (CCP) and promote cultural exchange between Philadelphia and its Chinese sister city, Tianjin, according to reports.
But it has prompted an angry appeal by a U.S. lawmaker to Philadelphia Mayor Cherelle Parker to scrap the plan.

The national Black Lives Matter movement claims $33.4 million of its cash is being withheld by one of its progressive partner organizations, The Post has learned.
In a scathing lawsuit, Black Lives Matter Global Network Foundation accuse the Tides foundation — backed by George Soros — of alleged “deceptive business practices” as well as “egregious mismanagement” of its money, while demanding its return.
The lawsuit was filed last year, but the stakes were raised on Monday when the BLMGNF — which oversees its other regional operations — asked the California Attorney General to step in and investigate Tides.
Election Day 2025 is just around the corner. While it may not be covered with the same intensity as the 2026 midterm elections, Democrats can no longer afford to focus on what happened in 2024.
To win upcoming elections, my fellow Democrats must go beyond criticizing President Trump’s awful actions and policies. They must advocate for programs that most people believe will improve their lives by making America more affordable.Democratic candidates are doing this now as they campaign in the only two races for governor this year, in Virginia and New Jersey. If they win the Nov. 4 elections,
A new gubernatorial candidate has entered the fold in Georgia with an incredibly cringeworthy advertisement to let voters know who she is.

The federal government partially shut down at midnight Wednesday, hours after all but three Senate Democrats voted down a short-term funding bill.
The shutdown is the first since December 2018, which saw non-essential government operations cease and tens of thousands of federal employees furloughed or forced to work without pay for 35 days until lawmakers agreed on a stopgap funding measure.
White House Office of Management and Budget Director Russ Vought notified federal department and agency heads shortly after Tuesday’s failed Senate vote to keep the government funded to begin preparations for a shutdown. V
Charlie Kirk is dead. Americans must face why.
His murder was not random, not confusing, not detached from the battles he fought so fiercely in life. It was the direct consequence of his bold refusal to bend before one of the most aggressive and destabilizing ideologies of our time: transgender radicalism.
For years, Kirk warned about the dangers of this movement. Not just its cultural consequences, but the deeper crisis of mental illness and violence it has unleashed across the nation. In the end, his voice was silenced by precisely the pestilence he spent his career opposing.
The facts are painfully clear. On Sept. 13, 2025, police captured Tyler Robinson, a 22-year-old suspect
Zohran Mamdani just offered fresh proof of his deep anti-cop bigotry with his call to shift key powers to discipline officers to the Civilian Complaint Review Board.
It’s a terrible fix for a problem that doesn’t exist — and one that would lead to worse policing, and so more crime; it would likely even produce a force with far more bad cops.
“What I would do is ensure that the recommendations of the CCRB be understood to be the final voice of the question of accountability,” Mamdani says — without pointing to any actual bad results of the current law, which gives final say to the police commissioner.
Democrats have decided to enter their fight era.
As they try to refurbish their reputation and lagging poll numbers, party leaders have decided that causing a government shutdown is the way to go.
Good luck with that.
House Minority Leader Hakeem Jeffries and Senate Minority Leader Chuck Schumer have refused to back down on costly demands they want included in a continuing resolution backed by Republicans to keep the government funded for the next few weeks. Democrats want to extend Obamacare subsidies, among other unlikely wishes. Democrats may think their tough talk will earn them points come the 2026 midterm elections, but I don’t think it’s going to work out
OKLAHOMA CITY– On Monday, Oklahoma Governor Kevin Stitt announced authorities apprehended 130 alleged “illegal” immigrants from multiple countries under “Operation Guardian” sweep along Interstate 40.
According to the Governor Stitt’s announcement, the operation handled by U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) and the Oklahoma Highway Patrol (OHP) targeted enforcement along I-40 in western Oklahoma with numerous commercial truck drivers utilizing licensures issued by sanctuary states from multiple countries, including India, Uzbekistan, China, Russia, Georgia, Turkey, Tajikistan, Ukraine, and Mauritania.
OHP says, one license listed “No Name Given.”
Computer industry executives, economists, government officials and businesspeople all seem to be very high on the prospects for artificial intelligence (AI). But what about average Americans? They mostly believe AI should be feared, not embraced, the latest I&I/TIPP Poll shows.
To kick off the three-question national online poll on AI, I&I/TIPP first asked 1,362 Americans the following: “Do you think artificial intelligence (AI) will mostly create new jobs, mostly take away jobs, or not make much difference?”
It wasn’t close. Just 17% responded that AI would create jobs,
President Donald J. Trump has signed an Executive Order committing the United States to the security of Qatar, a significant move for the non-NATO, Arab ally. The order asserts that any armed attack on Qatar’s territory or infrastructure will be seen as a threat to U.S. peace and security.“The United States shall regard any armed attack on the territory, sovereignty, or critical infrastructure of the State of Qatar as a threat to the peace and security of the United States,” the Executive Order states, continuing: “In the event of such an attack, the United States shall take all lawful and appropriate measures—including diplomatic, economic, and, if necessary, military—to defend
