The Army designed the Future Soldier Preparatory Course (FSPC) to close two gaps. The first is between the number of soldiers the Army wants and the number it has been able to recruit in recent years. The second gap was between the aspirations of men and women who wanted to join the Army and the basic physical, intellectual, and legal standards the Army requires of new recruits. Based in Fort Jackson, South Carolina, the FSPC puts would-be recruits through what amounts to preparatory basic training, designed to generate physical fitness (usually measured in terms of weight, waistline, and basic exercise...

General Flynn is on top of this. He hints today that former Vice President Mike Pence was not what he claimed to be. We reported on Mike Pence extensively before and after Jan 6, the day that Pence showed his true colors and went down in history as a Brutus. We wrote: Former Vice President Mike Pence was chosen by then-candidate Trump during the 2016 primaries. He came across as a quiet and mild-mannered Christian man from the Midwest who loved his country. What we didn’t know back then was what lay beneath that facade. We learned while President Trump...

Psalm 19:14 (King James Version) Let the words of my mouth, and the meditation of my heart, be acceptable in thy sight, O Lord, my strength, and my redeemer. Jesus is King of King and Lord of Lords. The atheist Democrats claim there is no King which is typical of Christ deniers. This protest is not only about the false premise that the President of the United States is not an elected leader of the country who is given massive power which they do not like but denies Jesus is King. No Kings means No Leader. They are pretending it...

How many people just realized that Dems had as many as 20 extra seats based on years of unconstitutional race-based gerrymandering?

Chaos ensued when Dean Taylor, 65, a Black man, tried recording the Buffalo police across the street. The incident unfolded when the cops were investigating a drive-by shooting of a house in 2019. The officers approached Taylor and informed him that the neighbors did not want him to capture the investigation on camera. However, the Black man exercised his First Amendment right that allows him to record the entire ordeal in public. He told the cops that he was mainly recording them, and not the other residents. The whole thing got intense within the blink of an eye when the...

As Israel brings its campaign in Gaza to a close, it will still have to overcome the threats that surround it, just as it has done with Hezbollah, Syria, and the influence of Iran. Nevertheless, the trajectory is unmistakable: Israel is moving steadily toward stability and deeper integration in the region. The Abraham Accords will widen. Israelis will travel freely for holidays in Riyadh and Damascus. This is not naive optimism. It is the logical outcome of shifting alliances, pragmatic cooperation, and the recognition among many Arab states that coexistence is not only desirable but necessary. Slowly, painfully, the Middle...

Zohran Mamdani tells Fox News that if he is elected, New Yorkers should expect to give up 52% of their paychecks

The Associated Press recently dug up some “experts” to diss President Donald Trump as being too nasty for the Nobel Peace Prize, since he -- gasp -- "does not believe in climate change." But one of the recipients of the elitist honors in the Nobel Economics Prize is is a climate-obsessed economist who advocates a distorted concept of “creative destruction” through green policies to wreck the fossil fuel industry. Climate organization Heatmap reported October 13 that Nobel winner Philippe Aghion views “carbon taxes” as just one instrument in a tool box to force the economy into a climate-friendlier era. Heatmap...

Virginia’s attorney general race has suddenly swung toward the Republicans following an explosive scandal involving Democrat nominee Jay Jones. Polling released on Saturday shows likely voters are no longer standing with Jones following the release of his violent text messages regarding a Republican politician. In the Trafalgar Group poll, incumbent GOP Attorney General Jason Miyares now stands nearly six points ahead, reversing a six-point lead Jones held in a September poll. Miyares has support from close to 49% of likely Virginia voters compared to Jones’ 43%. On Oct. 3, National Review published leaked text messages in which Jones fantasized to...

Gov. Gavin Newsom (D-CA) is peddling falsehoods in an attempt to mar Vice President JD Vance’s visit to Camp Pendleton on Saturday, including falsely claiming an amphibious capabilities demonstration would result in the closure of the I-5 highway and that America’s troops would not be paid. The event will be followed by a celebration on Del Mar Beach in honor of the Marine Corps’ forthcoming 250th birthday, which is November tenth. Newsom and his press office seized on an anonymously-sourced article from far-left outlet MeidasTouch, which claimed that “the White House will shut down portions of the I-5 for Vice...

Bethany Abigail Terrill, 37, was charged with threatening a United States official. Terrill will make an initial appearance in federal court in Boston at 1:30 pm, today. According to the charging documents, federal agents were supporting Immigration Enforcement and Removal Operations in effecting the administrative immigration arrest of individuals in the area of Malden District Court.

The Trump DOJ made history on Wednesday by announcing terrorism charges against Antifa militants for the first time. As Fox News reported, a federal grand jury indicted two alleged Antifa leftists with terrorism-related charges for an Independence Day attack on an ICE facility in Texas. The Gateway Pundit previously revealed that ten individuals were involved in a coordinated attack on ICE officers in Alvarado, Texas. The individuals are alleged to be part of an Antifa cell from North Texas. According to the criminal complaint, the defendants, dressed in black military-style clothing, began shooting fireworks at the facility as part of...

John Fetterman brings the Kennedy Center to complete silence as he delivers this emotional message on stage: “I know and I love people who voted for President Trump. They are NOT fascists, they’re NOT Nazis, they’re NOT trying to destroy the Constitution.” “I REFUSE to call people Nazis or fascists. I would never compare anybody — anybody to Hitler.” “Like Charlie Kirk, all I could say is let people grieve — give people the space. I’m not going to use that terrible thing and that assassination to make my argument and try to put out my views.” “It’s like, my...

In my column yesterday, I expressed my reservations about Hamas actually being collectively willing to follow through with the promises made — that is, its relinquishing of power. By collectively I mean, is everyone in Hamas in agreement with those promises? I pointed out the public executions Hamas is carrying out on people who had been working against it, and concluded that no, it's not:Clearly, though, Hamas is not in the mood to give up its power, rather opting to try to hold onto that power by means of intimidation. What the response of the IDF and Washington will be...

Now that the curtain’s getting pulled back more and more on the January 6th setup… and yes, the infamous “Pipe Bomb” hoax that aged about as well as gas-station sushi, the bombshells are coming in fast and furious style. Most of us already knew J6 was less “insurrection” and much more “fedsurrection,” and that the pipe bomb story was a political fairytale. So, while a lot of people are done with bombshells and ready for indictments, it’s still worth connecting the dots. Because, let’s face it, if there’s one person who wants justice more than anyone, it’s President Trump… the...
