In recent weeks, both former President Donald Trump and Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis have touted their own handling of the COVID pandemic while criticizing each other’s response to the crisis. It’s only natural in the slow run-up to 2024. Everyone wants to be able to say they got COVID right—and hindsight is always 20/20. On…

House Republicans insist the Biden administration’s emphasis on “woke” policies, such as diversity, equity, and inclusion (DEI) training, is politicizing the U.S. military and degrading the Pentagon’s readiness to fight a war. House Democrats say Republicans are beating a “woke” drum to politicize army, navy, and air force recruiting shortfalls that the Pentagon—citing statistical surveys—attributes…

President Joe Biden’s $863 billion Fiscal Year 2024 [FY24] defense budget request includes $23.8 billion for the United States Department of Energy [DOE] to produce nuclear weapons and manage the nation’s strategic stockpile and $37.7 billion for the Pentagon to operate its “nuclear enterprise.” That “nuclear enterprise” is America’s land-air-sea “triad” strategic force posture—intercontinental ballistic…

ORLANDO, Fla.—House Republicans will redouble their efforts this spring and summer to convince the Democrat-held Senate to adopt eight proposed immigration reform measures that are matriculating through the lower chamber, two key GOP committee chairs affirmed March 20. While that’s not necessarily breaking news, Homeland Security Committee Chair Rep. Mark Green (R-Tenn.) and Judiciary Committee…
