100-Year-Old Korean War Veteran Receives Medal of Honor During State of the Union 2026 Address

President Trump awarded a Medal of Honor during Tuesday night’s State of the Union address to a 100-year-old Korean War veteran — who received a standing ovation that lasted for several minutes.

Trump bestowed veteran fighter pilot E. Royce Williams, a retired Navy captain who shot down four Soviet MiG-15 jets in a classified 1952 operation that remained hidden from the American public for decades, with the nation’s highest military decoration near the end of his speech to Congress.

“Royce was in the dogfight of a lifetime,” the president said of Williams’ heroics.

“His squadron was ambushed by seven Soviet fighter planes,” Trump continued. “It was his first aerial combat of the war, and despite being massively outnumbered and outgunned, Royce led the take down of four enemy jets and almost destroyed the others – vanquishing his adversaries while taking 263 bullets to his own plane and being seriously hurt.”

“His story was secret for over 50 years … but the legend grew and grew.” (Read more from “100-Year-Old Korean War Veteran Receives Medal of Honor During State of the Union 2026 Address” HERE)

US Inches Toward War With Iran as Trump Says Tehran ‘Can’t Say the Sacred Phrase’

The nation inched closer to war with Iran Tuesday as President Trump signaled Tehran isn’t playing ball with his demands to abandon all nuclear enrichment.

Trump claimed to network news anchors over lunch that Iran “desperately wants a deal” — but “can’t say” it despite the president’s massive naval firepower assembled offshore.

“Iran desperately wants a deal. But Iran just can’t say the sacred phrase ‘we won’t build nuclear weapons,’” Trump said at the traditional pre-State of the Union lunch, Fox News anchor Bret Baier reported.

Trump told media bigwigs, however, that there would be “important negotiations Thursday in Geneva.”

Secretary of State Marco Rubio and CIA Director John Ratcliffe, meanwhile, briefed eight senior members of Congress Tuesday afternoon on possible attacks. (Read more from “US Inches Toward War With Iran as Trump Says Tehran ‘Can’t Say the Sacred Phrase’” HERE)

Noem’s ‘Embarrassing’ Item Triggered Plane Freak Out

New details about what really led Corey Lewandowski to sack a pilot during a meltdown on a U.S. Coast Guard plane have been exposed, revealing it wasn’t really a blanket at all.

Homeland Security Secretary Kristi Noem and her alleged lover and de facto chief of staff, Lewandowski, are both married with children, however, their alleged relationship has been described as “the worst-kept secret in D.C.”

Lewandowski reportedly entered the cockpit of a government jet in May last year, hunting down what was said to be a beloved heated blanket belonging to Noem that had been left behind after the alleged couple transferred aircraft when their original plane broke down. . .

However new reporting by The Daily Mail quotes three DHS insiders saying it wasn’t a blanket left behind at all; it was a mystery bag. . .

Lewandowski had discovered that at least two people were aware of the contents of Noem’s bag, which could be embarrassing, the Mail reported, citing sources. (Read more from “Noem’s ‘Embarrassing’ Item Triggered Plane Freak Out” HERE)

Trump DOJ Email Calling Epstein’s Death ‘Murder’ Surfaces

A Justice Department attorney appears to have called Jeffrey Epstein’s death a “murder” in a newly unsealed email from 2020.

The email, uncovered from the latest release of DOJ files on the convicted sex offender, shows an individual identifying themselves as an “AUSA in EDNY”—likely an assistant U.S. attorney in the Eastern District of New York—referring to a supposed “investigation into the murder of Jeffrey Epstein.”

Dated June 11, 2020, when President Donald Trump was in his first term, the email joins a string of revelations that appear to clash with the official ruling that Epstein’s death in a New York City jail cell in 2019 was a suicide.

“I’m an AUSA in EDNY and am working on an investigation into the death of an inmate at the Brooklyn MDC,” the email reads. The DOJ has redacted both the sender and the recipient.

“The OCME told me that it signed a confidentiality agreement in connection with the investigation into the murder of Jeffrey Epstein. We were hoping to extend a similar agreement and I wanted to see if you could share the agreement (or a boilerplate version of it).” (Read more from “Trump DOJ Email Calling Epstein’s Death ‘Murder’ Surfaces” HERE)

Massie Seeks to Undo Trump’s Cancer-Causing Pro-Glyphosate Executive Order

At least one Republican lawmaker is formally pushing back on President Trump’s effort to boost a controversial herbicide, glyphosate, that’s reviled by supporters of the “Make America Healthy Again” (MAHA) movement.

Trump this week stoked MAHA fury by issuing an executive order that seeks to “ensure an adequate supply” of glyphosate as a national security issue and grant “immunity” to makers of the pesticide under the Defense Production Act.

In response, Rep. Thomas Massie (R-Ky.) drafted legislation to prevent the order’s implementation. Massie’s legislation also seeks to explicitly allow citizens to bring lawsuits related to exposure to glyphosate, the key ingredient in the frequently litigated Roundup weedkiller.

“This week I will introduce the ‘No Immunity for Glyphosate Act’ to undo the recent Executive Order which promotes glyphosate (Round-Up) and insulates manufacturers from liability,” Massie, who has broken with Trump on multiple issues, wrote on the social platform X.

Rep. Chellie Pingree (D-Maine) wrote on X that she was co-leading the effort.

Despite Promise To Be Pro-Life ‘Ally,’ Trump Admin Won’t Regulate Abortion Drug Endangering Women

It is well established that mifepristone, the popular abortion drug, is deadly to unborn babies and dangerous to women — especially those who take it without medical oversight. Confidence that the Trump administration will do anything to curb the harms wrought by the Biden administration’s radical expansion of mail-order abortion drugs, however, is dwindling.

New polling from Cygnal suggests that 32 percent of Republican voters are unmotivated to show up for the midterms “if Republican leaders weaken or abandon pro-life policies.” Trump, who fears impeachment if the GOP loses control of Congress come November, can’t afford to be shunned by the pro-life base that played a pivotal role in electing and reelecting him. Yet, he has deliberately avoided addressing mifepristone and the Biden-era mail-order scheme that has contributed to the deadly drug’s popularity.

Trump’s silence is unsurprising given his history of blaming pro-life issues for Republicans’ political losses. What is surprising to the pro-life organizations and GOP legislators is that their demands that the U.S. Food and Drug Administration at least restore the mifepristone safeguards present during the first Trump administration have yet to manifest in any measurable action.

Pro-lifers believe this stalling is deliberate. SBA List Pro-Life America and Live Action’s Lila Rose used an anonymously-sourced article claiming the FDA head was “Slow Walking a Long-Awaited Abortion Pill Safety Study” to call for FDA Commissioner Marty Makary’s firing. The FDA called the accusation “baseless.”

Sen. Josh Hawley, R-Mo., told The Federalist in a phone call that he also believes, after conversations with Makary, that the FDA’s “safety study thing is just a dead end.” (Read more from “Despite Promise To Be Pro-Life ‘Ally,’ Trump Admin Won’t Regulate Abortion Drug Endangering Women” HERE)

American Airlines Jet Lands in Miami With Bullet Holes After Trip to Colombia

Bullet holes were found on the wing of an American Airlines Boeing jet after landing in Miami from Colombia, according to a report.

Flight AA923 landed at the Miami International Airport on Monday when a routine post-flight inspection found the puncture marks on the 737 MAX 8’s right aileron, which is responsible for lateral balance, AirLive reported.

Despite the puncture marks, the aircraft flew and landed safely.

There were no flight-related issues or injuries on board related to the incident, American Airlines told The Post.

“The aircraft was immediately removed from service for further inspection and repair. We will work closely with all relevant authorities to investigate this incident,” the company said in a statement.

The plane had been in Colombia’s Jose Maria Cordova International Airport on Sunday and was completing a round trip when the bullet holes were discovered, according to AirLive. (Read more from “American Airlines Jet Lands in Miami With Bullet Holes After Trip to Colombia” HERE)

Masseuse Who Gave Ex-Prince Andrew Naked Massage in Buckingham Palace Reveals Creepy Interaction

A sought-after masseuse said she was once snuck into Buckingham Palace to give disgraced former Prince Andrew a massage — as she revealed the strange moment that left her “embarrassed.”

Monique Giannelloni’s June 2000 appointment with Andrew Mountbatten-Windsor was arranged through Jeffrey Epstein’s madam, Ghislaine Maxwell, she told the Daily Mail.

She said the exiled royal bypassed strict palace vetting and led her to his room, where he ducked into the bathroom and came out completely nude. There were no personal security guards inside or outside the room.

“After saying ‘Hello,’ he disappeared to the bathroom and came back in the nude,” Giannelloni said as she recalled the moment she locked eyes with a naked Andrew.

“I averted my eyes and I was quite embarrassed.”

The South African masseuse — who was paid £75, or approximately $112.50 at the time, in the form of a Buckingham Palace-issued check — also remembered how “fast” Andrew whipped off his towel.

White House Reveals Who Trump Will Invite As Main State Of The Union Address Guest

President Donald Trump’s guests for his State of the Union address will include Sage Blair, a young woman who was separated from her parents at age 14 after school officials attempted to secretly transition her to a male, the Daily Caller has exclusively learned.

Blair, who is now reunited with her parents and attending Liberty University, will be joined by her mom, Michele, a White House official shared with the Caller. The president plans on telling Blair’s story Tuesday during his State of the Union address where he will also call on states to ban sex transitioning operations for minors.

An official told the Caller that the White House believes this is a popular, common-sense policy, similar to keeping men out of women’s sports – which they have also opposed. The president hopes to “expose how out of touch the Democrats’ position on this issue is” during his address, the official added.

Michele Blair sued her daughter’s school district, Appomattox County Public Schools, in 2023. She argued that the school district in Virginia failed to notify her that her daughter had tried to change her gender while the teachers encouraged her to use male facilities.

The lawsuit further claimed that because the school withheld information about Sage from Michele, it led to the daughter’s declining mental state and eventually caused her to run away from home. Sage Blair was kidnapped, drugged and raped by sex traffickers, the lawsuit stated.

School District’s ‘Anti-Racism’ Teaching Starts In Kindergarten, Documents Show

Maryland’s largest school district is promoting a so-called “anti-racism” curriculum for kids focused on “white supremacy” and racial and gender identity, according to internal documents.

Newly revealed training materials from Montgomery County Public Schools (MCPS) detail the “Characteristics of Anti-bias/Antiracist Curriculum” and instruct teachers to focus on topics of injustice, racism, oppression, implicit biases and inequity, parental rights watchdog Defending Education (DE) shared with the Daily Caller News Foundation. The documents were originally discovered by parent group United Against Racism in Education.

The curriculum was reportedly discussed at a PTA meeting on Jan. 20, 2026, according to DE.

“Schools should be the place where students can analyze the forces which maintain injustice and develop the knowledge, hope and strategies needed to create a more just society for all,” the “Culturally Responsive & Antiracist Teaching Framework for Social Studies” document states as a teacher’s desired classroom outcome, citing anti-racist writer and consultant Enid Lee.

Classes should focus on examining “systems of power and oppression created by white supremacy” and challenge the “Master Narrative, which is a focus on white, Eurocentric versions of history,” the documents state, according to DE. Content is meant to “critically examine resistance to and liberation from white supremacy” and center “the stories and resistance of communities of color and tribal sovereignties.” (Read more from “School District’s ‘Anti-Racism’ Teaching Starts In Kindergarten, Documents Show” HERE)
