WATCH: President Trump Establishes the Space Command

By The Blaze. President Donald Trump announced the establishment of the U.S. Space Command from the Rose Garden of the White House Thursday.

The president congratulated General Jay Raymond as the first commander of the US Space Command. Raymond had been in command of the Air Force Space Command since October 2016.

The Space Command is not the much promised “Space Force,” which the president said would follow soon.

“SpaceCom will soon be followed, very importantly, by the establishment of the United States Space Force as the sixth branch of the United States Armed Forces, and that’s really something when you think about it,” he said. . .

“SpaceCom will ensure that America’s dominance in space is never questioned, and never threatened,” Trump added, “because we know the best way to prevent conflict is to prepare for victory.” (Read more from “President Trump Establishes the Space Command” HERE)

Trump Declares New Space Command Key to American Defense

By WBNS. . .Space Force, which has become a reliable applause line for Trump at his campaign rallies, has yet to win final approval by Congress.

The renewed focus on space as a military domain reflects concern about the vulnerability of U.S. satellites, both military and commercial, that are critical to U.S. interests and are potentially susceptible to disruption by Chinese and Russian anti-satellite weapons.

The role of the new Space Command is to conduct operations such as enabling satellite-based navigation and communications for troops and commanders in the field and providing warning of missile launches abroad. That is different from a Space Force, which would be a distinct military service like the Army, Navy, Air Force, Marine Corps and Coast Guard.

WATCH: Steven Crowder Confronts Antifa Member Who Said He Should Be Lit On Fire

In the latest installment of “Crowder Confronts” — in which he personally engages with people who’ve made various accusations and/or threats against him — comedian and political commentator Steven Crowder visits a coffee place to chat with a member of the violence-embracing Antifa movement who called for his fellow radical activists to “milkshake” Crowder at an event and declared online that he “hope[s] someone lights Steven Crowder on fire.”

Crowder explains in the intro that the Antifa member, whose name Crowder blocks out to avoid being accused of doxxing, has a record for some of his past “activism,” earning him a rap sheet that “includes throwing tomatoes at Trump (but missing, by a lot) and assaulting cops,” according to Crowder’s website.

“We’re all good to go with jokes, clever insults, mean tweets, and memes,” reads the write-up for the new video. “But when you call for the violence, which yes, includes the hurling of frozen dairy, things take a more serious turn. Maybe that’s confusing with Steven’s penchant for dress-up, but the point still stands. Just don’t call for anyone to be set ablaze. Don’t call for someone to be doused in dairy. As tempting as it may be on a hot day to throw a mocha frap in someone’s caffeine deprived face.”

As he usually does, Crowder comes dressed in a thematically appropriate costume: the Heat Miser from “The Year Without Santa Clause.”

What unfolds when Crowder walks into the cafe to confront the Antifa member looks familiar, Crowder notes. Despite Crowder presenting evidence of the guy’s message declaring his hope that the conservative comedian be set ablaze, the Antifa member denies it, the same response as the other radical critics Crowder has called out, including a college professor.

Bizarre Joe Biden Moment: Begins Speaking Again as Supporters Leave; Joe Biden Calls Obama ‘President My Boss’ in Another Brain Freeze Moment

By Breitbart. Former vice president Joe Biden appeared to forget his closing remarks at a town hall event Wednesday afternoon. As the music played and 300 supporters stood up and began filing out, he took the hand-held microphone again and asked for 60 more seconds to speak.

Biden then delivered his closing address as people continued filing out — though some listened attentively or filmed his remarks on their smartphones.

It was a bizarre moment in an otherwise successful town hall event that boasted roughly 300 supporters in attendance.

Biden spoke slowly and somberly at the beginning of the event. But he was more fluent, and sharper, in the question-and-answer session, walking around the room and engaging supporters who asked him about details of his policies.

Joe Biden Calls Obama ‘President My Boss’ in Another Brain Freeze Moment

By Breitbart. Former Vice president Joe Biden (D) suffered yet another mental glitch on the campaign trail in South Carolina, forgetting former President Barack Obama’s name and instead referring to him as “president my boss,” according to a video that surfaced Wednesday.

Donald Trump Jr. retweeted the video, which shows Biden referring to Obama as “president,” before pausing and adding “my boss,” seemingly due to a failure to recall his name:

“It is unfair to expect Vice President Biden to remember that he served with President Barack Obama,” Newt Gingrich cheekily remarked on Twitter.

“It is equally unfair to expect him to remember the G-8 is now the G-7. People just keep knit picking these small boo boos. Remember, he is likable Uncle Joe,” he added.

How Extreme Are Democrats on Abortion? Watch This Chilling Response From Beto.

At a campaign event on Monday night, presidential hopeful Robert “Beto” O’Rourke said that he believes women should have the right to kill their unborn babies up to the moment of birth.

O’Rourke was confronted by a young man in the College of Charleston audience about his radical pro-abortion position, which is on-par with the field of Democratic presidential candidates. “My question is this: I was born September 8th, 1989, and I want to know if you think on September 7th, 1989, my life had no value,” he asked the Democrat.

“Of course I don’t think that. And of course I’m glad that you’re here,” O’Rourke responded. “But you referenced my answer in Ohio, and it remains the same. This is a decision that neither you, nor I, nor the United States government should be making. That’s a decision for the woman to make.”

After a momentary pause due to an applauding audience, O’Rourke said that he wants pregnant women “to have the best possible access to care and to medical providers,” later adding that “only” a pregnant woman “knows what she knows, and I trust her with that.”

The 49-year-old also claimed that the state of Texas, where O’Rourke made an unsuccessful run for a Senate seat, is “losing lives of women” due to pro-life legislation.

In March, O’Rourke unapologetically spoke out for abortion-till-birth in Cleveland, Ohio. “Are you for third-trimester abortions? Are you going to protect the lives of third-trimester babies?” a female audience member asked the media darling, as previously reported by The Daily Wire. “Because, you know, there’s really not a medical necessity for (late-term) abortion — it’s not a medical emergency procedure — because typically third-trimester abortions take up to three days to have. So, in that sense, if there was an emergency, the doctors would just do a [caesarian]-section, and you don’t have to kill the baby in that essence. So, are you for or against third-trimester abortions?”

WATCH: Dan Crenshaw Corrects Democrat Pastor for Supporting Socialism

Matt covered the insanity brought on by climate change protesters at the Democratic National Committee’s summer meeting this week. But, it isn’t just the party crashers who are saying truly outlandish things, it’s also the invited speakers. Progressive Pastor Rev. William Barber challenged Republicans on whether or not socialism is moral. He even invited the debate, saying Jesus would support the economic system. Luckily, we have Texas Republican Congressman Dan Crenshaw to explain to the preacher just how wrong he is.

“When we embrace moral language, we must ask does our policy care for the least of these? Does it lift up those who are most marginalized and dejected in our society? Does it establish justice? That is the moral question,” Rev. William Barber said to applause.

“If someone calls it socialism, then we must compel them to acknowledge that the Bible must then promote socialism, because Jesus offered free health care to everyone, and he never charged a leper a co-pay,” he added. . .

“Deliberate misreading of Biblical principles by DNC to promote socialism,” the freshman congressman tweeted. “The Bible teaches charity with one’s own time and money. Socialism teaches charity with other people’s time and money. So….not the same thing.”

Perhaps Rev. Barber, since he is interested in a moral debate, should be reminded of what Roman Catholic Pope John Paul II had to say on the subject. Socialism, the now-Catholic saint argued, disregards the sanctity of individual life. That’s why it’s truly evil and always leads to poverty, famine, and death.

New Video Shows the Updated Border Wall Is Working

The U.S. Border Patrol has released new video showing parts of the southern border with Mexico, which used to be accessible to illegal aliens, drug traffickers, human smugglers, cartels and other bad actors, has been closed off thanks to new fencing in Arizona. . .

The same goes for new fencing in San Diego, where illegal aliens attempted to cross and were unsuccessful thanks to new barriers.

This new fencing is a result of President Trump’s national emergency declaration earlier this year. . .

WATCH: Video Shows Iranian Forces Prepping ‘Killer Drone’ Launch Targeting Israel

The IDF spokesperson’s unit on Sunday released a video of Iranian forces in Syria preparing to launch an explosives-laden drone into northern Israel from Syria last Thursday.

The video, captured by an Israeli field intelligence unit along the border, shows four fighters from Iran’s Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps’ elite Quds force carrying the UAV through a field to its planned launch point located in the southern Syrian village of Arneh.

On Saturday around 11pm, Israel Air Force jets struck Iranian targets in the Syrian town of Aqraba, south of Damascus, thwarting the “imminent” UAV attack, the army said. According to war monitor the Syrian Observatory for Human Rights, five personnel were killed in the strikes, two of whom were operatives for the Iranian proxy terror group Hezbollah and one a member of an Iranian militia. The other two have not been identified. . .

In his own statement, Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu said: “Iran has no immunity anywhere. Our forces operate in every sector against the Iranian aggression. I have directed that our forces be prepared for any scenario. We will continue to take determined and responsible action against Iran and its proxies for the security of Israel.”

The Syrian army said that “the majority of the Israeli missiles were destroyed before reaching their targets,” but Conricus maintained that the damage caused by the Israeli strikes was “significant,” Reuters reported.

WATCH: CNN Host Allows Guest to Claim Trump Worst Than Hitler, Mao, Stalin

CNN’s Brian Stelter allowed psychiatrist Allen Frances to make wildly false claims about President Donald Trump on his Sunday show and offered zero pushback to any of Frances’ remarks which sparked intense backlash against the far-left network.

Frances’ false claims about the president came during a segment in which Stelter, who ironically hosts a show called “Reliable Sources,” brought on a second psychiatrist to bash the president.

“Well, I think ‘medicalizing’ politics has three very dire consequences,” Frances began. “The first is that it stigmatizes the mentally ill. I’ve known thousands of patients, almost all of them have been well-behaved, well-mannered, good people. Trump is none of these. Lumping the mentally ill with Trump is a terrible insult to the mentally ill and they have enough problems and stigma as it is.”

“The second issue is, calling Trump crazy hides the fact that we’re crazy for having elected him and even crazier for allowing his crazy policies to persist,” Frances continued. “Trump is as destructive of person in this century as Hitler, Stalin, Mao were in the last century. He may be responsible for many more million deaths than they were.”

Adolf Hitler, Joseph Stalin, and Mao Zedong are the three most notorious mass murderers in world history with all three men directly being responsible for the deaths of tens of millions of innocent people.

Billionaire CEO Resigns, Claims Peter Strzok Gave Him Orders in Deep State Political Espionage: ‘I Know Much More Than I Should Know’

Overstock founder and CEO Patrick Byrne stepped down Thursday morning, but the billionaire didn’t take the rest of the day off.

Instead, he went on a media blitz sharing further details on his “deep state” involvement that caused him to leave his firm, and says former FBI agent Peter Strzok pulled him into what was — unbeknownst to Byrne — a political espionage operation targeting President Donald Trump, Hillary Clinton, Ted Cruz, and Marco Rubio. . .

Last month, investigative reporter Sara Carter reported that Byrne reached out to the FBI in 2015 after meeting Russian gun-rights activist Maria Butina and questioning her motives. Byrne says after being given the all-clear, he became involved in a romantic relationship with Butina, and later rekindled the intimate relationship at the behest of federal law enforcement. The young woman has since pleaded guilty to not registering as a foreign agent.

Last week, Byrne confirmed in a news release to shareholders that he had, as Carter reported, assisted in what he thought were “legitimate law enforcement efforts” with “what are now known as the ‘Clinton Investigation’ and the ‘Russian Investigation.'”

That afternoon, Byrne first made his bombshell announcement on Fox Business Network that Peter Strzok was the FBI operative who gave him orders during 2015 and 2016 as part of a deep state conspiracy, claiming, “I know much more than I should know.”

WATCH: Did This Pageant Queen Get Her Crown Stripped for Supporting Trump?

Earlier this week, Ms. America Pageant contestant Katie Williams, a combat veteran and member of the Army National Guard, claimed that her Ms. Nevada State title was stripped from her because of her conservative views, which included public support for President Donald Trump.

Williams posted an eight-minute video to Facebook on Monday, which quickly went viral, claiming she separated her personal and pageant-related social media content as directed, and said other contestants posted about left-leaning activism without repercussion.

However, pageant CEO Susan Jeske, who is apparently a supporter of the president, too, said Williams was stripped of her title for not following the “no politics” rule, to which she agreed. . .

In a facebook post addressing the apparent misinformation, Jeske bluntly claimed, “Katie Williams is distorting the facts.”

“ALL the pageant asked of Ms. Williams, in writing, is to keep separate social media accounts. (ie: Facebook) One is for politics where she can voice her own opinion as Katie Williams and the other is a new Facebook page for the pageant representing Ms. Nevada State 2019. None of this had to do with her personal political views,” she wrote.

“The Ms. America Pageant is a No Politics pageant. It is in our Rules & Regulations as posted on the pageant website and therefore available to read before applying to the pageant,” she continued, noting, “It is also included in our contracts and requires handwritten initials and signatures acknowledging that you have read and understood the pageants rules.”
