The announcement of the scheduled December 3 execution by firing squad of Nidal Hasan for his "Fort Hood" murder of 13 people and wounding of another 32 in 2009 has inspired Al Qaeda "to avenge this unwarranted slaying of a righteous Muslim.

"Trump may think that executing Hasan for successfully carrying out a jihad attack on infidels will deter us from our goal of conquering the world for Allah,...

United States Conference of Catholic Bishops (USCCB) President Archbishop Paul Coakley on Oct. 9 condemned the Pentagon’s plan to livestream the firing-squad execution of Nidal Hasan as a “barbaric promotion of a culture of death.” The statement comes shortly after the War Department confirmed plans to livestream the execution of Hasan, the former Army major convicted of killing 13 people and wounding 32 others in the 2009 Fort Hood, Texas, shooting.

BREAKING: WE ARE RESTORING THE NAMES OF FORT PICKETT, HOOD, GORDON, RUCKER, POLK, A.P. HILL, AND ROBERT E. LEE

U.S. Rep. Joaquin Castro and the Congressional Hispanic Caucus have put Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth on notice: Don't mess with the name Fort Cavazos. With support from President Donald Trump, Hegseth has begun reversing a Biden-era initiative to remove the names of Confederate figures from military installations. Hegseth has restored names with Confederate connotations to two Army bases, and he has vowed to continue. That has sparked fears that the Central Texas armored division base named for Gen. Richard E. Cavazos, the Army's first Hispanic four-star general, could be next. The Congressional Hispanic Caucus is trying to get in front...

I was reading over the Executive order renaming the Gulf of Mexico to the Gulf of America and saw this section: Sec. 5. Additional Action. The Secretary of Interior may solicit public and intergovernmental input regarding additional patriots to honor, particularly in light of America’s semiquincentennial celebration, and shall recommend action to me, through the Assistant to the President for Domestic Policy. So my question is...what else can we recommend to be renamed? I think we've become so used to having the left rename things with little to no blowback that we think it's not important. But it is. Remember...

Kamala Harris on Wednesday launched a nasty smear campaign against President Trump with 13 days to go until Election Day. Harris compared President Trump to Hitler after The Atlantic released another fake news hit piece on Trump. On Tuesday The Atlantic published a nasty 4 year old smear piece on Trump with 14 days to go until the election. The Atlantic author Jeffrey Goldberg, the same guy who lied to get us into war with Iraq, said in his latest hit piece that Trump disrespected Army Specialist Vanessa Guillén, who was murdered in 2020 when she was bludgeoned to death...

The Atlantic is facing intense scrutiny over a report alleging former President Trump disparaged a slain Mexican-American Army private while he was in office, with some involved with the story declaring it "false" and a "hit piece." Jeffrey Goldberg, editor-in-chief of The Atlantic, began a lengthy report published Tuesday about Trump's interaction with the family of 20-year-old Vanessa Guillén, the daughter of Mexican immigrants who was murdered in April 2020 by a fellow soldier at Fort Hood. After her remains were discovered two months later, Trump consoled Guillén's family at the White House and offered to provide financial assistance to...

During the DNC, the Democrats bumped Biden’s speech, as the New York Post put it, “past his bedtime” but Biden managed to read the boilerplate composed by his woke-left-globalist handlers. He did the same on September 1, 2022, backdropped in blood red, with U.S. Marines at the ready, like something staged by Nazi cineaste Leni Riefenstahl,. .... As a student, Joe Biden was a bottom feeder and even hagiographical hooey like Mark Bowden’s 2010 Atlantic profile conceded that Biden was a semi-literate plagiarist. As a senator, the Delaware Democrat was a consort of segregationists and Ku Kluckers like Robert Byrd....

VIDEO Brian Craig, co-host of the Steve Kane Show (longest running radio show in Florida history), speculated on the REAL REASON for the food (actually cook) shortage at Fort Hood (now Fort Cavazos). NOBODY else in the media has yet come to the conclusion that Brian has but if he turns out to be right (hopefully after investigation of this scandal) I just want everybody to know who should get the credit for first figuring out the reason for this food (actually cook) shortage scandal at Fort Hood (Cavazos).

An Army installation in Texas has been struggling to put food on the table for its soldiers for months as the base faces a shortage of cooks to staff its dining facilities.
