Air Force officials are considering bringing back warrant officers and may start creating a training program this year, reversing a decision from 65 years ago when the service ended that grade, according to a planning document obtained by Military.com. The three-page planning order says that "great power competition" -- Defense Department lingo for escalating defense spending and resources against adversaries such as China -- is underscoring the need to resurrect warrant officers, the corps of highly technical service members who are above the enlisted ranks but below the commissioned officer ranks.

U.S. — Journalists across the country expressed a combination of outrage and confusion after a video surfaced online of a journalist doing journalism. According to sources, the video, posted on social media platform X, shows known journalist Tucker Carlson wilfully and recklessly engaging in actual journalism without any regard for the damage that may be caused by such a wanton display. "We're not sure what this guy thinks he's doing," said one New York Times columnist who asked to remain anonymous. "He's out here investigating and searching for the truth and interviewing world leaders on important geopolitical topics. Wild, unrestrained...

As crowds set off for Las Vegas ahead of Sunday's Super Bowl, some meteorologists have said severe storms could impact their travel plans. Forecasters have warned of threats of heavy rainfall and potential avalanches as showers from an atmospheric river hit the region on Wednesday. The storm system moved in from California, where it brought dangerous flooding and weather conditions to southern and central parts of the state and left millions without power. After periods of heavy rain and snow in southern Nevada on Tuesday, another round of precipitation is expected to hit on Thursday morning. Las Vegas will see...

An Indiana State Police investigation into potential petition fraud by a volunteer for Democrat presidential candidate Dean Phillips’ campaign continues in St. Joseph County, where the local Democratic Party leader was convicted a decade ago on a petition forgery scheme. St. Joseph County Clerk Amy Rolfes told The Federalist that she and her staff late last month discovered hundreds of what appeared to be fraudulent petition signatures and addresses. Rolfes alerted state elections officials and the State Patrol, which last week launched an investigation. “They are making progress,” Rolfes said. “I know it’s not sitting. They’re taking it very seriously.”...

Former Secretary of State Hillary Clinton said Wednesday on MSNBC’s “Alex Wagner Tonight” that former President Donald Trump’s hold on the Republican Party was “frightening.” Wagner said, “As someone who ran for the presidency and won the popular vote, can you even wrap your head around arguing in court that you should be able to assassinate your political enemies using SEAL Team Six? How did that argument land with you? Clinton said, “He says so many outrageous things that I think a lot of people have stopped listening, and they shouldn’t. They should pay very careful attention to what Trump...

Senator Chris Murphy (D-CT) declared that “undocumented Americans” — presumably a reference to migrants in the country illegally — were “the people we [Democrats] care about most” in an appearance on All In With Chris Hayes Wednesday night. In a discussion about the now-defunct border and foreign aid bill rejected by congressional Republicans, Hayes teed Murphy up by noting that in his 20 years of covering the issue of illegal immigration, the trade that is typically made gives Republicans more border security and Democrats a pathway to citizenship. “This time around, the negotiation didn’t have a path to citizenship. It...

For decades, progressives have dreamed of changing Texas from a “red” Republican state to a “blue” Democrat one. This dream is realistic because Democrats have succeeded in turning several western states “blue.”For example, California was the state that launched the political career of President Ronald Reagan. Prior to his presidency, Reagan served two terms as Governor of California. Today, California is a progressive wasteland, rapidly losing population and businesses.Not long ago, Republicans controlled Washington, Oregon, Arizona, New Mexico, Nevada, and Colorado. Today, Democrats either totally or partially lead those states.One of the major reasons these states have become Democrat bastions...

Representative Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez (D-NY) said Wednesday on MSNBC’s “All In” that “immigration writ large is yielding enormous economic benefits to the United States.” Ocasio-Cortez said, “It is actually completely nonsensical that we do not talk about the enormous blessing, economic blessing that immigrants and immigration represent to the United States of America. A lot of folks sometimes think that this is a certain kind of immigrant, like college educated, or technical Visas, all immigrants that we are seeing, this is the CBO estimate, immigration writ large is yielding enormous economic benefits to the United States.”

SCOOP: I just received word that Schumer has a CODEL (Congressional Delegation) to Kiev planned for two weeks from now to celebrate his and McConnell’s Ukraine funding win.These trips take weeks of advanced planning to pull off. If this is all true, then it’s almost certain Schumer knew that even if the border deal failed, McConnell would always help him give Biden his war money without getting anything in return.Treachery.

The Maronite Patriarch in Lebanon has just delivered an impassioned speech against Hezbollah, and the possibility that the terror group will yet again drag Lebanon into a war with Israel that no one in the country, save the goose-stepping bezonians of Hezbollah, wants.

In the late 1990s, I was beginning the second semester of my freshman year at a small liberal arts college in Virginia. At this particular school, all first-year students were required to take a “freshman seminar.” This was a smaller class than the introductory “survey” classes that students typically took before declaring a major. Graded on the basis of in-class discussion and papers rather than exams, these were intended to provide students with an opportunity to focus in greater depth on a narrow topic and to hone their skills in research and writing. There weren’t too many options for such...

The left is already making the case for extreme, violent action should Trump win. For the past three years, the left has claimed Donald Trump lied about the 2020 election and then attempted an insurrection on Jan. 6 to overturn the results. But now that Trump is leading in polls, the left is talking ominously about a “coup.” Pay attention, because if Trump wins in 2024, this will be how the left tries to stop him from getting anything done. At a protest in Washington, D.C., a week ago – organized by a group that calls itself “Stop the Coup...
