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 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.

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).
