Many of us are sick of the tyrant in the White House, but how many would have the courage to give up a prestigious career and comfortable retirement because of it? Lt. Col. Paul Douglas Hague did just that, proving once again that those who serve in the military are the bravest among us. He resigned from the Army — forfeiting his pension by cutting short a 19-year career — in protest of the Pentagon’s sweeping vaccine mandate and the “Marxist takeover” of the military. Hague’s resignation garnered attention after his wife tweeted images of the letter he sent to...

A high-ranking US Army officer has resigned and given up his pension after almost 20 years of service because of what he called President Biden’s “unethical, immoral and tyrannical” vaccine mandate. Lt. Col. Paul Douglas Hague said in a resignation letter tweeted by his wife, Katie Phipps Hague, that he was resigning from his 19-year career primarily because of the Pentagon requirement that all US military members be jabbed by mid-September. Katie Hague said in the tweet that her hubby was “walking away from all he’s worked for and believed in since he was an ROTC kid at UGA.” Hague,...

Secretary of State Antony Blinken acknowledged Tuesday he has not submitted a resignation over the deadly Afghan evacuation that left 13 troops dead and billions of dollars worth of U.S. gear in the hands of the Taliban. During the Senate’s Foreign Relations Committee Hearing, Sen. Bill Hagerty (R-TN) asked Blinken directly if he had given his resignation to President Joe Biden due to having “heard rumors regarding potential cabinet resignations.”

Jennifer Higgins, the current associate director of Refugee, Asylum and International Operations at U.S. Citizenship and Immigration Services, will step in as a temporary chief of staff until a new appointment is made, according to officials in the department.

We are grateful to Karen for her...

Joe Biden made a big deal about always consulting the "science." He vowed to follow the "experts." He vowed to control COVID.But well, that promise was like all of Joe's other promises: Phony.Two more leading health care regulators, genuine experts in their field, have resigned their long-held positions just as the flu and COVID season is upon us. Their exit follows high-profile resignations at the Centers for Disease Control -- Nancy Messonnier and Anne Schuchat. Word is out that these professionals don't like being issued orders about what the 'science' is from the White House before they can make their...

Several high-profile U.S. Food and Drug Administration officials are resigning from their positions within the federal agency in protest of the Biden administration’s overreach when it comes to COVID-19-related scientific decisions such as booster shots.Despite the lack of clear evidence in support of booster shots, the Biden administration plans to move forward with supplemental jabs for adults beginning as early as the White House’s Sept. 20 deadline, pending the FDA’s approval. This pressure from the Democrat president and his administration to offer “premature and unnecessary” consent to something that scientific data does not conclusively back up, reports indicate, is causing...

Friday on “CNN Newsroom,” Rep. Adam Kinzinger (R-IL) pushed back against calls from his colleagues for President Joe Biden to resign over his mishandling of the withdrawal of U.S. troops from Afghanistan. Despite the mismanagement by Biden leading to 13 U.S. service members being killed and multiple others being injured in a terror attack in Kabul, Kinzinger, who voted to impeach President Donald Trump over the January 6 Capitol riot, said he doesn’t think it’s time to call for Biden’s resignation nor should he be impeached.

The White House on Thursday scolded Senate Republicans after they called for President Joe Biden’s resignation after 13 service members were killed in Afghanistan in a suicide bomb attack. Sens. Marsha Blackburn (R-TN) and Josh Hawley (R-MO) called for Biden’s resignation in reaction to the disastrous failure to withdraw American forces out of Afghanistan. White House press secretary Jen Psaki dismissed the calls as a political stunt. “I would say, first, this is a day where U.S. service members, 12 of them, lost their lives at the hands of terrorists,” she said. “It is not a day for politics.”

On his way out the door, disgraced former New York Governor Andrew Cuomo issued some pardons and clemencies for prisoners in the state. This is pretty standard for chief executives as one of their final acts in power, whether they’re run out of office by scandal, voters, or term limits. And it’s something that needs to end. Bill Clinton was the first known example of monetizing this effort, collecting a bunch of money to fund his presidential library by selling pardons, most notably to tax cheat and felon on the run Marc Rich. But corruption aside, the idea of lame...

For four years, Democrats and much of the media demanded former President Donald Trump resign or the 25th Amendment be deployed to remove him from office. The complaints largely stemmed from grievance over the 2016 election but magnified as Trump's behavior got more combative and mean while in office. Now, having defeated Trump, President Joe Biden has reached a point where those who demanded Trump's resignation should be calling for Biden's, unless it was all just partisan bellyaching. Months ago, Biden said he intended to withdraw Americans from Afghanistan. It is one of the only issues on which he chose...

Elements of the formerly pro-Biden media have joined in the condemnation.Many silent Democrat office-holders likely want Biden out, as they fear that the systemic incompetence of his administration will bring them down come 2022.But Joe cannot resign or be fired. The Democrat high command will not let either happen, no matter the short-term political cost.On the surface, that makes little sense. Joe's resignation or removal would not...

Demands for President Biden and members of his administration to resign are strengthening during the ongoing chaos in Afghanistan. Sen. Josh Hawley (R-MO) stated on Wednesday “Biden’s entire defense and foreign policy team must resign” for “the worst foreign policy debacle since Vietnam.” Hawley also called for a “full congressional inquiry” upon the matter. “In the immediate term, we must focus on getting Americans trapped in Afghanistan out safely. That should be our top priority,” he said.

At the end of March 2020, when COVID-19 was gripping the country, then-president Trump had the USNS Comfort retrofitted and sent to New York's harbor. With an approximate crew of 1,200 trained personnel and 1,000 beds, the ship's mission was to serve non-COVID-affected patients in order that New York's hospitals could administer to the more critical needs of the COVID-afflicted. Although the remodeling was expected to take at least four weeks, it was completed in four days as a full-service hospital, replete with its own helicopter pad. When regular patients didn't arrive about ten days after pulling into New York...

Local lawmakers told 18 News even though the investigation will continue and a report will be issued for all New Yorkers, they remain concerned because the Governor’s resignation is not final. “I’m just surprised that there have not been demands made by the leaders of the legislature to finalize these resignations. Since they haven’t been filed, they are not really official,” Sen. (Tom) O’Mara continued. The resignation process requires a letter to leaders of the legislature and the Secretary of State. There has not been an official letter from Gov. Cuomo, even though he announced he was stepping down a...

Andrew Cuomo’s resignation, as far as I’m concerned, was long overdue.I’m thrilled to see his fall from grace. It is much deserved. But I can’t help thinking he resigned for the wrong scandal.While his abhorrent behavior merited his resignation, another scandal should have brought him down much sooner.On March 25, 2020, Andrew Cuomo ordered nursing homes to accept patients regardless of their coronavirus status. While it was still early in the pandemic, it was known even then that the elderly were more vulnerable to the virus. The policy was a disaster in the making, yet Cuomo defended it. Nursing homes...

ALBANY, N.Y.—Melissa DeRosa, the top aide to New York Gov. Andrew Cuomo, said Sunday night she was resigning, as the Democratic governor faces a possible impeachment over sexual-harassment charges as well as a criminal investigation. Ms. DeRosa was mentioned multiple times in a report issued Tuesday by state Attorney General Letitia James that found Mr. Cuomo violated state and federal sexual-harassment laws when he inappropriately hugged, kissed, touched and commented about 11 women—most of whom are current or former state employees.

It is time to acknowledge and ugly truth. Kevin McCarthy has effectively resigned his position as Republican House Minority Leader. by allowing Nancy Pelosi to usurp his power to seat Republicans representatives on House committees. McCarthy should try to retain some dignity and resign as House Minority Leader and make way for someone that will fight for Americans like Rep. Jim Jordan. If GOP representatives are accepting appointments from Democrat Nancy Pelosi instead of Kevin McCarthy then McCarthy has demonstrably lost control of the Republicans in the House and he must resign. Kevin McCarthy has surrendered to Nancy Pelosi and,...

Former White House physician Ronny Jackson, who served in the role under both Presidents Obama and Trump, told Fox News on Thursday night that he believes that President Joe Biden will be forced to resign or will face the 25th Amendment over issues related to his fitness for office. Jackson, who now represents Texas’ 13th Congressional District, told Fox News that he has been saying for a while that “something’s going on here.” “And I’ve been saying that it’s only going to get worse, and guess what? We’re watching that happen right before our eyes right now,” Jackson said. “And...
