On his first day in office Joe Biden made his priorities very clear. He has determined that political Correctness will be the guiding light above all other concerns. One of the very first things Biden did was to make sure everyone working in the White House would be able to choose their desired pronouns. President Biden's administration has already made some modifications to the White House's online contact form. The form gives users the option to list their preferred pronouns, with possible responses including "she/her,” “he/him,” “they/them,” “other,” and “prefer not to share.” The website also offers expanded options of...

Former President Barack Obama praised President Joe Biden's sweeping executive orders calling it a "time for boldness." Biden signed 17 executive orders within hours of entering the Oval Office, with 10 orders relating to the COVID-19 pandemic.

Well, this didn’t take long. In what can only be characterized as payback for multiple shameful attempts, without reason, to remove President Trump from office, Republicans follow the lead and formally announce their own impeachment. On Thursday, Congresswoman Marjorie Taylor Greene introduced articles of impeachment against President Joe Biden for his “corrupt actions involving his quid pro quo in Ukraine and his abuse of power by allowing his son, Hunter Biden, to siphon off cash from America’s greatest enemies Russia and China.”

CARLSON: “Good evening and welcome to Tucker Carlson Tonight. It’s Joe Biden’s first day in office and you know what that means. CNN can finally take that COVID death ticker off the screen. There’s no reason for it now.” “It’s not like you can blame Joe Biden for some Chinese virus that escaped from a lab in Wuhan. That wouldn’t be fair. Come on, now. CNN dutifully removed it this morning. Covid deaths? Settle down, America. It’s just a bad flu season.” “Joe Biden apparently agrees. He and his family were photographed in Washington last night, without masks. But not...

The Second World War saw significant advances in tanks, and throughout the war, all of the major powers sought to build bigger, heavier, and more powerful tanks. Keeping in step with those efforts was another move to develop better weapons to then take out and destroy the enemy’s tanks. When the war began the Germans and British, as well as other nations such as Finland, employed oversized rifles, and these were largely antiquated against even the earliest tanks of the war. Soon new efforts were developed to counter the tanks. Here is our effort to lay out what we consider...

A Honduran migrant traveling in a caravan of thousands to the United States said he is making the journey because President-elect Biden “is going to help all of us.” Speaking in an interview with The Hill, the man indicated he had traveled from the Honduran tourist island of Roatán. A reporter asked the man what he was seeking for the crowd of migrants standing behind him. To “get to the U.S. because they’re having a new president” was his response. “He’s gonna help all of us,” the migrant claimed, referencing Biden. “He’s giving us 100 days to get to the...

Almost any U.S. employment snapshot looks grand compared with last April when COVID shutdowns rocketed joblessness to 14.8 percent. By December, the seasonally adjusted rate fell to 6.7 percent. So, everything zen? As the song goes, I don’t think so. Current unemployment is nearly double what it was in December 2019 and remains higher than at any point since March 2014. Neither the 2001 recession nor the 1990 downturn drove joblessness so high. And this doesn’t express the problem’s full magnitude. The effective unemployment rate, including those who have given up looking for work and those who involuntarily work part-time,...

Currently, there are only a few, combat-ready, fifth-generation fighter aircraft models in the world. Two of those are American-built and include Lockheed Martin’s F-22 Raptor, which entered service with the United States Air Force in 2005; and the Lockheed Martin F-35 Lightning II, which entered service in 2015. While the Russian Sukhoi Su-57 finally entered service in December 2020, China’s People’s Liberation Army Air Force (PLAAF) has operated its own fifth-generation fighter since 2017, the J-20. China’s Stealth Fighter, but with a Flaw It is the Chengdu J-20 – also known as “Mighty Dragon.” The single-seat, twin-engine, all-weather multi-role combat...

On the exact same day that Joe Biden was inaugurated into office, the World Health Organization tightened their criteria for who is diagnosed as a positive COVID-19 case. This has to be a coincidence, right? I mean, what are the odds? Now, a single positive PCR test for the virus isn’t going to cut it anymore. For some reason, as of inauguration day, the organization decided that those tests for the virus we’ve been relentlessly assured are the gold standard for detecting infection are, in reality, just a mere “aid for diagnosis.”

House Speaker Nancy Pelosi ratcheted up the fiery rhetoric in an interview with MSNBC, suggesting President Trump could be charged as an accessory to murder for his alleged role in the Capitol riots. Pelosi made the comments Tuesday evening as she alleged Trump’s words incited the crowd of protesters earlier this month to engage in violent acts at the Capitol. “[The] President’s words are important, they weigh a ton. And if you’re Donald Trump talking to these people, they believe it and they used his words to come here,” she said. “When we talk about ‘did any of our colleagues...

HEMMER: “I don’t know how much you thought about the future of the Republican Party but there is a comment that came in ‘The Guardian’ from James Comey former head of the FBI and I’m going to read it for, sir. ‘The Republican Party needs to be burned down or changed. Something is shifting and I’m hoping it’s the fault breaking apart, a break between the Trumpists and those people who want to try and build a responsible conservative party, because everybody should know that we need one. Who would want to be part of an organization that at its...

Remember when Trump warned everyone that Joe Biden would kill American energy jobs? Here it comes. Democrats are uniquely deft at destroying the American economy, but President Joe Biden just might shatter the record for the fastest time to do so. After taking the oath of office Wednesday, Biden was expected to sign several executive orders meant to undo the work of his predecessor, including orders to roll back protections for the unborn and dismantle border security. However, it was Biden’s executive order to..

In August 2020 the United States Air Force was set to receive its 250th Lockheed Martin F-35A Lightning II, and with that milestone, the fifth-generation multirole stealth warplane became the third-largest fighter fleet in the service’s fleet. That number also accounted for nearly half of the total F-35s of all variants delivered worldwide to that point. The Air Force’s program of record is to purchase and acquire a total of 1,763 F-35As – and 48 of the advanced aircraft have been requested in each of the last three budgets, while Congress has also increased the purchase in recent funding cycles.

Politics editor Chris Stirewalt, along with nearly two dozen digital journalists, have been fired from Fox News. Stirewalt is listed by the New York Times as one of two “senior leaders” exiting the network as Fox “tries to lure back viewers who balked at its coverage of the 2020 election and its aftermath.” The other is Bill Sammon, Fox News’s longtime Washington bureau chief, who told staff that he would be retiring at the end of the month. Stirewalt, however, was “fired” according to the Times, along with “roughly 20 Fox News digital journalists” who were laid off on Tuesday....

Though not all the wartime military equipment made by Italy was top-notch, the Beretta Model 38 submachine gun was highly regarded by both the Axis and Allies. The Back Story Students of military history are no doubt familiar with the wide range of weaponry that made their combat debut during that conflict. Not only were new firearms seen for the first time, but new classes of firearms also proved their worth on austere, far-flung battlefields.

Federal police clashed with violent far-left mobs of Antifa rioters on Wednesday night, who took to the streets in cities across America declaring: "We don't want Biden, we want revenge!" Just hours after Joe Biden was sworn in on Inauguration Day, radical activists launched into a spree of destruction, burning U.S. flags, destroying property, and attacking police officers.

Designed to replace the variants of the Saab 35 Viggen and Saab 37 Draken combat aircraft, Sweden’s JAS 39 Gripen was first flown in December 1988 and entered operational service with the Swedish Air Force in 1997. Developed as part of a joint effort by an industrial consortium that consisted of Saab, Saab Microwave Systems (formerly Ericsson), Volvo Aero Corporation, Saab Avitronics and FFV Aerotech, the Gripen was the first Swedish multirole combat aircraft – capable of conducting interception, ground-attack, and reconnaissance.

The B-21 Raider, named after the Doolittle Raiders of World War II fame, could make its maiden flight sometime in mid-2022, according to reporting by Air Force Magazine. B-21 airframe number one has already completed, with construction on the second airframe already underway.

TLAIB: “I mean, I think it’s really important to understand Israel is a racist state and that they would deny Palestinians like my grandmother access to a vaccine, that they don’t believe that she’s an equal human being that deserves to live, deserves to be able to be protected by this global pandemic. And it’s really hard to watch as this apartheid state continues to deny their own neighbors, the people that breathe the same air that they breathe, that live in the same communities — you could put a settlement wherever you want, but on the other side of...

One of the most iconic scenes in the over-the-top Rambo: First Blood Part II involves the shirtless Sylvester Stallone wielding the M60E3 while firing from the hip. Even those who don’t know guns would recognize it as “Rambo’s gun.” While Stallone’s handling was cinematic, to say the least, it was still a very real weapon that saw use with the U.S. military around the world.
