If your daughter is planning to join the Army, she might find more hanging out in the shower than expected.As reported by Breitbart beneath the banner of “exclusive,” the branch’s training includes updated instructions for bathing. And the rules are plenty far from what veterans would find familiar.Official guidance — purportedly delivered via scenarios labeled “vignettes” — prescribes proper responses to issues concerning transgenderism.Vignette Nine deals with mandated urine specimens: What if an “observer” is uncomfortable having to watch a soldier — who has “not [had] sex reassignment surgery” — pee into a cup?Comfort-minded measures are on the table:Commanders may...

Rep. Vicky Hartzler, R-Mo., responded to a recent Kansas City Star article appearing to link her faith to "White Christian nationalism," which the congresswoman said tried to make her look like a "radical." The Missouri lawmaker is running for Sen. Roy Blunt's open seat in Missouri’s crowded GOP primary this August and was the subject of story titled, "Running God's way: Can Vicky Hartzler's 'conservative biblical values' win a Senate seat?" The article was published by the KC Star on Easter Sunday. Reporter Daniel Desrochers suggested Hartzler's Christian views about returning the country to its traditional values mirrored "White Christian...

GOP Rep. Liz Cheney delivered a searing rebuke of former President Donald Trump and GOP leaders at the Ronald Reagan Presidential Library Wednesday night, recounting some of the damning details that the House select committee investigating January 6, 2021, has uncovered thus far and praising the bravery of witnesses – particularly the young female aides – who have come forward to aid its investigation. “We are confronting a domestic threat that we have never faced before – and that is a former President who is attempting to unravel the foundations of our constitutional Republic,” said Cheney, the vice chair of...

Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene (R-GA) complains about her treatment on the House floor.

The unhinged breakdown of Keith Olbermann is accelerating. The ex-MSNBC host melted down over the Supreme Court this week. First, he called for nullification after the conservative justices struck down New York’s gun control law. But after the Court overturned Roe v. Wade on Friday, he absolutely lost it, ranting about “theocratic” “terrorists.” We read all of Olbermann’s tweets so you don’t have to. Here are his top seven most insane responses to the end of Roe. (And remember, this man was employed by MSNBC and ESPN. He now screams into the void at YouTube.) On Friday evening, the ex-host...

A LARGE group of Russian troops have surrendered to Ukrainian forces, according to footage shared from the fierce battlefront of Luhansk. Footage shared online from the battlefront in Luhansk has shown the moment approximately 14 Russian soldiers surrendered to Ukraine. The mass surrender of Russian servicemen is a devastating blow to Vladimir Putin as he pours more resources into the fight for eastern Ukraine. The video, which was posted on Telegram, showed the troops on the ground after having given up their weapons. The Luhansk region of Ukraine has become a focal point in recent weeks.

An “economic hurricane” is coming. That ominous warning comes from Jamie Dimon, CEO of J.P. Morgan Chase. “I said there were storm clouds. But I’m going to change it. It’s a hurricane. Right now it’s kind of sunny, things are doing fine, and everyone thinks the Fed can handle it. That hurricane is right out there down the road coming our way. We don’t know if it’s a minor one or Superstorm Sandy. You better brace yourself.” Of course, he isn’t the only CEO feeling this way. The most recent CEO Confidence Index suggests that most leaders are concerned about...

Ana Navarro told her co-host Monday on ABC’s “The View ” that Gov. Ron DeSantis (R-FL) was waging an “anti-American” war against The Walt Disney Corporation. Co-host Joy Behar said, “So Florida Governor Ron DeSantis is punishing our parent company, Disney, for speaking out against his so-called ‘Don’t Say Gay’ law. He revoked Disney’s special status, that could cost Florida taxpayers $2 billion. This goes against the GOP’s brand of being business-friendly. Now can he win this culture war? Because he’s taking on the mouse, and the mouse is bigger than Ron DeSantis.”

Russian state television declared Friday night that its conflict in Ukraine can now "safely be called World War III." "What it's escalated into can safely be called World War III – that's entirely for sure," Russia 1 television host Olga Skabeyeva said, according to a translation of Friday night’s broadcast by Britain's Metro News. "Now we're definitely fighting against NATO infrastructure, if not NATO itself. We need to recognize that."The remarks on the Russian state sponsored station come a day after Russia's flagship, the Moskva, sank in the Black Sea on Thursday. While the Russians claim the sinking was the...

A very alarming global food shortage has already begun, and it is only going to get worse in the months ahead. I realize that this is not good news, but I would encourage you to share the information in this article with everyone that you can. People deserve to understand what is happening, and they deserve an opportunity to get prepared. The pace at which things are changing around the globe right now is absolutely breathtaking, but most people assume that life will just continue to carry on as it normally does. Unfortunately, the truth is that a very real...

“Follow the science” is a notion that was abandoned long ago by vaxx-nannies in government and corporate media. Why? Because the science tells us to question everything about Pandemic Panic Theater, particularly the push to vaccinate every man, woman, and child on earth. Expert Steve Kirsch gave his opinions to Pennsylvania gubernatorial candidate and sitting state Senator Doug Mastriano, discussing the unprecedented 40% jump in deaths for people under the age of 64 since the jabs were rolled out. It’s a video that needs to be shared far and wide before it’s taken down, because it will be. Thankfully, we’re...

The brutal assault on the city of Mariupol in Ukraine will be remembered for "centuries to come," President Volodymyr Zelenskyy warned Sunday."The besieged Mariupol will go down in history of responsibility for war crimes.

Some residents have been sheltering for weeks, and many are without food, water, or electricity.Last week, Russian forces...

Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky said Sunday that he's "ready for negotiations" with Russian President Vladimir Putin but warned that if they fail "that would mean that this is a third World War." "I'm ready for negotiations with him. I was ready for the last two years. And I think that without negotiations we cannot end this war," he told CNN's Fareed Zakaria. "I think that we have to use any format, any chance in order to have a possibility of negotiating, possibility of talking to Putin. But if these attempts fail, that would mean that this is a third World...

Shame on Fox!” Lindell said during a Lindell Report broadcast. “They’ve done more damage to this country than all the bad media combined because we expected them to speak out! Just at least talk about the, at least be a journalist! Like being a Weather Channel… and you can’t report tornadoes or hurricanes Lindell also blasted the network for pushing vaccines. “Fox is in on it!” Lindell shouted. “They are criminals to our country! Period! Yes, I hope the Murdochs are watching!” The CEO has been an outspoken critic of vaccines and has faced tremendous censorship for questioning the integrity...

MyPillow CEO Mike Lindell has asserted that Fox News has “done more damage to this country than all the bad media combined.” The reason for this, Lindell said, is that conservatives expected them to speak out about discrepancies during the 2020 election. “Shame on Fox!” Lindell said during a Lindell Report broadcast. “They’ve done more damage to this country than all the bad media combined because we expected them to speak out! Just at least talk about the, at least be a journalist! Like being a Weather Channel… and you can’t report tornadoes or hurricanes!” Lindell also blasted the network...

One of the major rules of politics is don’t compare anything to the Holocaust because you look like a fool. And that’s exactly what MSNBC’s far-left “historian” Douglas Brinkley did during Thursday’s January 6 festivities on Craig Melvin Reports. And not only did he compare the riot at the Capitol to the systematic killing of 6 million Jews, but he also declared America in a “neo-civil war” and warned of “dark, troubled times” ahead. Brinkley kicked off his ridiculous comments by praising Congresswoman Liz Cheney (R-WY) as having “become our true profiles in courage.” Adding: “The John F. Kennedy Presidential...

A group of about a hundred people gathered outside the Pride Center in Wilton Manors Tuesday, rallying against a proposal in the Florida legislature that would limit discussion about LGBTQ issues at school. Lana Goff, an 11th grader in Broward County, is one of those students. “I first came out when I was in 7th grade,” she said.... The bill is part of a Parental Rights in Education proposal. Part of it says, “A school district may not encourage classroom discussion about sexual orientation or gender identity in primary grade levels or in a manner that is not age appropriate…”

This week has been eye-opening. Even for me -- and I'm the guy who has warned for over a year, in commentary after commentary, and often for three hours a day on my nationally syndicated radio show, that the COVID-19 vaccine could be dangerous and deadly and could lead to catastrophe. I stuck my neck out like no other talk show host in America to warn the vaccine may not even prevent illness; in fact, it could damage the immune system, thereby causing more illness and death. And not just from COVID-19, but also injuries and death linked to the...

Florida Agriculture Commissioner Nikki Fried, a Democrat candidate for governor in the Sunshine State, compared her potential general election opponent Gov. Ron DeSantis to Nazi dictator Adolf Hitler during an interview that aired on Florida Public Radio’s “The Florida Roundup” on Friday. Host Melissa Ross asked Fried if she regretted her past comparisons, to which Fried said she did not and doubled down. “Not at all,” she replied. “Growing up in Miami, and having neighbors that were Cubans, hearing stories of so many of our Floridians who have left dictatorships, and socialism, and communist countries, and coming here to the...

President Biden and Vice President Kamala Harris will visit the U.S. Capitol Thursday to mark the anniversary of last year's riot. The president and vice president will deliver remarks during their appearance at the Capitol for the anniversary of the Jan. 6 Capitol protests, which saw thousands of former President Donald Trump's supporters breach the entrance and flood into the building while Congress was certifying the 2020 presidential election results.
