Secretary of War Pete Hegseth announced new standards Tuesday as part of an ongoing cultural shift at the Pentagon ending the “war on warriors” led by woke politicians and Pentagon leaders.
Hegseth, eight months into a historic tenure that has seen the Department of Defense rebranded and reoriented as the Department of War, made his announced Tuesday addressing top military leaders at Marine Corps Base Quantico in Quantico, Virginia, ahead of remarks by President Donald Trump.

“From this moment forward, the only mission of the newly restored Department of War is this: warfighting, preparing for war, and preparing to win, unrelenting and uncompromising in that pursuit,” he told the rare assemblage of top military brass.
Hegseth’s speech emphasized many themes pressed throughout his time leading the Pentagon, such as eradicating diversity, equity, and inclusion (DEI) requirements, mandating higher standards, and earning peace by preparing for war.

“If that means no women qualify for some combat jobs, so be it.”
But his 45-minute remarks in front of top generals and flag officers marked a formal pivot away from many past policies that Trump has argued distract from the military’s core mission. (Read more from “Pete Hegseth Rebukes DEI, Fat Troops: ‘We Are Done with That Sh*t’” HERE)
Daily Caller News Foundation co-founder Tucker Carlson expressed amazement on “The Tucker Carlson Show” Monday as Wikipedia co-founder Larry Sanger guided him through the site’s blacklist.
Wikipedia has a “perennial sources” page that categorizes sources based on how reliable they supposedly are, using “public discussion and consensus.” Sanger told Carlson on his show how to find the list and informed him as he searched for it that The New York Times, The Washington Post, CNN, The Nation, Mother Jones and GLAAD were among those with approval from Wikipedia.
“Come on!” Carlson exclaimed, laughing.
“These are all green lit, fully green lit,” Sanger said. The Wikipedia co-founder then read some of the “blacklisted” sources, including Breitbart News, the Daily Caller, The Epoch Times, Fox News, the New York Post and The Federalist.
“So, you can’t use those as sources on Wikipedia,” Sanger said.
“Oh, wow,” Carlson said as he looked at the list on his phone. Sanger explained the color coding. (Read more from “‘This Is Amazing!’: Tucker Carlson Stunned As Wikipedia Co-Founder Walks Him Through Site’s Blacklist” HERE)

During a Sunday afternoon press conference, police said the Michigan church attacker drove a vehicle into the church building, opened fire, and was shot dead by officers.
UPDATE: During a Sunday night press conference, Grand Blanc Township Police Chief William Renye indicated that two more bodies had been discovered in the burned church, bringing the total number of deaths to four.
Breitbart News reported that the shooter is down and that the church — the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints in Grand Blanc — was ablaze.
During the press conference, Grand Blanc Township police indicated the attacker “rammed the vehicle through the front door” of the church, then got out of the vehicle and began shooting. A church service was taking place — “there were hundreds of people in the church” — at the time of the attack.

In a fiery appearance on Glenn Greenwald’s System Update podcast this week, Tucker Carlson issued one of his strongest critiques yet of the U.S.-Israel relationship—specifically accusing Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu of bragging about controlling former President Donald Trump, and calling the influence of Israeli leaders over American policy “humiliating.”
“I’m not guessing about this,” Carlson told Greenwald. “I talked to people he [Netanyahu] said it to. Bibi’s running around the Middle East saying, point blank, ‘I control the United States. I control Donald Trump.’”
The former Fox News host and longtime conservative commentator framed his critique not as anti-Israel, but as pro-American—focusing his ire on U.S. political leaders who, he argued, are failing to represent the interests of the American people by putting Israel’s priorities first.
Carlson, a vocal Trump supporter who publicly endorsed and campaigned for him in 2016, said Netanyahu’s alleged comments about controlling Trump struck a personal chord.
“Even if I didn’t vote for Trump, which I did—I campaigned for Trump—but even if I hadn’t, I’m still an American. You can’t treat us like this. It’s too humiliating,” Carlson said. “I can’t handle that, and I shouldn’t have to put up with it.”
He continued, “There’s an ongoing humiliation ritual designed to make us all crazy—designed to turn us into haters.”
Carlson made clear that his primary criticism wasn’t of Israel itself, but of American politicians—on both sides of the aisle—who he says have allowed a foreign government to steer U.S. policy, often to the detriment of American citizens.
“I’m attacking my leaders who are allowing my nation of 350 million people to be forced into doing things that are bad for me and my children because of some other country,” he said. “That is a violation of the most basic arrangement we have with our leaders, which is: represent us, please—at least most of the time.”
Carlson’s comments come as U.S. support for Israel continues unabated during its war with Hamas, with billions in military aid and unconditional diplomatic backing. He has become one of the few prominent voices on the political right to break from the bipartisan consensus surrounding Israel, especially amid rising civilian deaths in Gaza and increasing global concern over the scope of Israel’s military campaign.
Carlson also addressed critics who have accused him of antisemitism or bigotry for his stance, saying these accusations are used to silence meaningful criticism and distract from uncomfortable truths.
“They just scream at you and call you names,” Carlson said. “But calling me a bigot doesn’t [hurt me], because I know that I’m not. I’m not going to give them the satisfaction of becoming what they call me.”
He added, “I’m not a hater, and I’m never going to become one. But I will never accept this.”

Jeffrey Epstein was working with the CIA, according to a former Department of Justice employee, RadarOnline.com can reveal.
The late sex offender was said to be protected from justice while working with the agency.
The individual, Glenn Prager, who is believed to have previously worked with the DOJ, claimed to Project Veritas founder James O’Keefe, the “[DOJ] didn’t want to go after him [Epstein] because he’s an asset for the United States and Israel. It’s not talked about yet, but it’s soon to come out that he [Epstein] was a CIA informant.”
However, the DOJ was quick to respond to the shocking claim and said in a statement to O’Keefe: “This individual worked at the Department of Justice as a program analyst over fifteen years ago.
“He has no understanding of, or access to, the underlying facts in this investigation. His statements should not be considered accurate.”
They added: “It is disgusting that someone would further exploit victims of sexual abuse by fabricating stories for their personal benefit.”

A garish statue of President Trump and late pedophile Jeffrey Epstein was mysteriously erected on the National Mall on Tuesday — and removed by Wednesday morning.
The bronze sculpture stood about 12 feet tall and appeared to show both men in a merry dance with Trump’s left hand gripping Epstein’s right.
One of the plaques under the figures read: “We celebrate the long-lasting bond between President Donald J. Trump and his ‘closest friend’ Jeffrey Epstein” and attributed the stunt to an anonymous group called “The Secret Handshake.”
“We’re a very small group of citizens who are using art, irony, and humor to express social commentary and spark political conversation in public spaces,” the group told USA Today.
US Park Police hauled the installation away before daybreak Wednesday, telling WUSA 9 that it wasn’t in compliance with a permit that initially allowed it to remain through Sunday evening — though the department did not specify the issue.

Tucker Carlson has come under fire following remarks made during a memorial service for conservative activist Charlie Kirk, whose recent assassination has stirred political tensions and rampant speculation.
Speaking to a packed crowd at State Farm Stadium in Glendale, Arizona, Carlson appeared to compare Kirk’s death to the crucifixion of Jesus, suggesting both were targeted for speaking uncomfortable truths to power.
“So it’s about 2,000 years ago in Jerusalem, and Jesus shows up and he starts talking about the people in power… and they just go bonkers,” Carlson said. “They become obsessed with making him stop: ‘This guy’s got to stop talking. We’ve got to shut this guy up.’”
Carlson then added: “I can just sort of picture the scene in a lamp-lit room with a bunch of guys sitting around eating hummus, thinking about — ‘What do we do about this guy telling the truth about us? We must make him stop talking.’ And there’s always one guy with the bright idea, and I can just hear him say, ‘I’ve got an idea. Why don’t we just kill him?’”
Carlson’s remarks sparked immediate backlash from several Jewish groups and Israeli media outlets, who accused him of promoting antisemitic conspiracy theories. Critics pointed to his reference to hummus—despite it not being historically accurate to ancient Judea—as a possible allusion to modern Israel:

Carlson has not responded to the allegations, and he did not explicitly name any individual or group in his speech. While the FBI has maintained that the shooting appears politically motivated and was likely carried out by a lone actor, many remain unconvinced.
Online discourse has increasingly centered around the possibility of foreign involvement, with some voices suggesting Israeli interests could have had a motive—though no hard evidence has emerged to support these claims. Nonetheless, the topic has gained traction in certain corners of the media.
Adding to the uncertainty, a new video that began circulating today appears to contradict the FBI’s official timeline and trajectory of the shooting. The footage seems to show that Kirk was shot from a direction inconsistent with the agency’s claims. See below:
https://joemiller.us/wp-content/uploads/44674207090_8938b40eba_b-1319101489.jpeg6831024Joe Millerhttps://joemiller.us/wp-content/uploads/logotext.pngJoe Miller2025-09-22 14:36:562025-09-27 23:57:35Tucker Carlson Sparks Outcry Over “Antisemitic” Comments at Charlie Kirk Memorial as New Video Casts Doubt on FBI Narrative
Candace Owens has reviewed the video of the exact moment Charlie Kirk was gunned down.
The Turning Point USA founder was gunned down on September 10, 2025, at Utah Valley Campus. Following a two-day manhunt, Tyler Robinson, 22, was arrested and detained in connection with the murder.
In the days since, however, Owens, a fellow right-wing podcaster and the self-declared “best friend” of Kirk, has been weighing in on the developments in the investigations. In her latest commentary, she alleged that a video she obtained from the camera that was positioned directly behind Kirk at the moment of the shooting.
“There’s nothing gory about this footage from the back,” she remarked. “The thing that really stood out to me and I just asked them to play it back to me over and over and over again, is that there’s no blood. There’s no blood from the back. So I think a lot of people were wondering if that bullet pierced and went out the back.”
Candace Owens received this footage from Turning Point USA after she texted the person who took down the camera.

Conservative commentator Tucker Carlson has strongly criticized Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu for what he described as a “ghoulish” and self-serving reaction to the assassination of Charlie Kirk. In a recent episode of The Tucker Carlson Show, the former Fox News host condemned the exploitation of Kirk’s death for political gain — particularly by foreign leaders.
Carlson, who was close to Kirk, said he was “shocked and sickened” by Netanyahu’s public statement following the young conservative activist’s assassination. According to Carlson, the prime minister attempted to reframe Kirk’s death in support of Israel’s ongoing military operations — a move Carlson called “disgusting.”
“Basically [Netanyahu] made it all about him and all about his country,” Carlson said. “Immediately trying to take the energy, the sadness, the grief that people felt over Charlie’s murder and redirect it towards support for whatever project he’s involved in.”
Carlson emphasized that Kirk had long expressed deep reservations about Netanyahu and his policies, especially the conduct of Israel’s military campaign in Gaza.
“He loved the state of Israel. He loved going there,” Carlson said. “But he did not like Bibi Netanyahu. He felt that Netanyahu was a very destructive force. He was appalled by what was happening in Gaza.”
According to Carlson, Kirk was particularly frustrated by what he saw as Netanyahu’s willingness to use American political and financial support to further Israel’s military objectives — at the expense of U.S. interests.
“He believed Netanyahu was using the United States to prosecute his wars… and that it was shameful, embarrassing, and bad for the United States,” Carlson said. “He resented it.”
Carlson acknowledged that some Netanyahu allies and defenders would likely attack him for speaking out, but he insisted that Kirk’s views on the matter were well known and could be corroborated.
“There are enough text messages that I think it can probably be verified in pretty short order — not that it needs to be, because that is true.”
Carlson also revealed that Kirk had come under heavy pressure from donors and political insiders for inviting Carlson to speak at a recent Turning Point USA conference. According to Carlson, Kirk lost a $2 million donation just two days before his death due to that decision.
“Donors tormented Charlie Kirk until the day he died,” Carlson said. “I hated seeing how much he was suffering, the hassle he was getting from people.”
He described the pushback as intense and driven in large part by individuals aligned with Netanyahu, who viewed Carlson’s criticisms of Israeli policy as a threat to their influence.
Carlson’s remarks sparked immediate discussion across the conservative political landscape. Former Republican congressman Matt Gaetz came to Carlson’s defense, writing, “I have personal knowledge as to many of the claims Tucker is making here. They are 100 percent true.”
I have personal knowledge as to many of the claims Tucker is making here.
For Carlson, the issue is not merely political — it’s personal. His remarks were rooted in what he described as a genuine concern for preserving the truth about who Charlie Kirk was and what he believed.
“There are many liars out there — Bibi Netanyahu number one among them, shamefully — who are trying to distort the truth,” Carlson concluded. “A truth that I know and can prove.”

In a fiery exchange on Capitol Hill Wednesday, Rep. Thomas Massie (R-KY) directly challenged FBI Director Kash Patel over his recent claim that no “credible information” exists tying Jeffrey Epstein’s sex trafficking operation to any individuals beyond Epstein himself.
Massie, a vocal proponent of government transparency and a longstanding advocate for the release of the Epstein files, pressed Patel over his testimony before the Senate earlier this week — and used the opportunity to read out a partial list of prominent figures who, according to victims, were allegedly involved in Epstein’s trafficking network.
“Director Patel, I watched some of your Senate hearing yesterday,” Massie began. “You said there’s no credible information that Epstein trafficked these women to anyone else. But that doesn’t match the evidence the FBI already has.”
Massie then cited FBI Form 302s — official records of witness interviews — which, he said, contain testimony from victims naming at least 20 men, including Jes Staley, the former CEO of Barclays Bank. Other unnamed individuals, according to Massie, include a Hollywood producer worth hundreds of millions, a royal prince, a government official, several billionaires, and even a magician.
“We know these people exist in the FBI files, the files that you control,” Massie said. “I don’t know exactly who they are, but the FBI does.”
He then asked Patel directly: “Have you launched any investigations into any of these people, and have you seen these 302 documents?”
Patel responded that while he had tasked FBI agents with reviewing all Epstein-related material, no new indictments had been brought forward, and no new credible evidence had been presented to him personally.
“We’re working with Congress to divulge that information and produce it to you,” Patel said. “But there have been no new materials brought to me.”
Massie didn’t hold back.
“So is the loophole here that you’re saying these victims aren’t credible? That the 302s maybe didn’t produce credible statements that rise to probable cause?” he pressed.
Patel denied making that assertion, attributing the lack of prosecution to the judgment of two separate U.S. Attorneys’ Offices under three different presidential administrations — none of which pursued further charges based on the documents.
The congressman, however, refused to let the matter drop.
“Are the 302 documents in the FBI’s possession?” Massie asked.
“They reviewed all that, yes, sir,” Patel replied.
“And have you reviewed them — the ones where the victims name the people who victimized them?”
“If I personally—no. But the FBI has,” Patel admitted.
That prompted a pointed response from Massie:
“So how can you sit here and in front of the Senate and say there are no names? I named one today.”
Patel responded that the FBI doesn’t typically release names of either victims or individuals tied to unproven allegations, especially when the agency has determined that the information does not meet a threshold of credibility or probable cause.
“We are not in the habit of releasing incredible information,” Patel said. “Multiple authorities have looked at the entirety of what we have.”
But Massie wasn’t satisfied.
He underscored that the limitations of prior investigations — particularly the controversial 2007 non-prosecution agreement signed in Florida — did not apply to the 2019 Epstein indictment in the Southern District of New York, which, he noted, generated a fresh wave of interviews and supporting documentation.
That distinction, he argued, invalidates Patel’s claim that earlier constraints hampered the FBI’s ability to follow through on victim allegations.
As outrage continues to build across the political spectrum over the lack of public accountability in the Epstein case, Massie’s interrogation marks one of the most direct public challenges to the FBI’s current handling of the matter — and raises fresh questions about why the names of alleged accomplices remain sealed, even years after Epstein’s death.
“We owe the American people the truth,” Massie said. “And I intend to keep asking.”
