Former President Trump touted former Vice President Mike Pence as an “honorable man” on Friday, following reports that Pence had received a subpoena from the Department of Justice’s special counsel investigating Trump on multiple fronts. “Mike Pence is an honorable man,” Trump said in an interview with Fox News Digital on Friday. Trump’s remarks come one day after reports emerged that Special Counsel Jack Smith had subpoenaed his former vice president. Smith was appointed by Attorney General Merrick Garland in November to oversee the Justice Department’s investigations into the former president, including his role in the Jan. 6, 2021, attack...

President Trump and First Lady Melania arrived in style at the Daytona 500 NASCAR Race on Sunday. Air Force One flew overhead, some mere 800 feet or so above the speedway. While it was the fifth time Donald Trump has attended the Daytona race, it was the first time Trump attended as president. The commander-in-chief made history on Sunday as the first president ever tapped as Grand Marshall to kickoff The Great American Race.

Democratic presidential hopeful Sen. Elizabeth Warren (D-MA) said Wednesday on MSNBC that Sen. Mitt Romney’s (R-UT) vote to convict President Donald Trump on the first article of impeachment was “the right thing to do.” When asked what she thought of Romney’s speech on the Senate floor, Warren said, “I thought I was listening to a decent and honorable man who stood up and did the right thing.”

There are few things in this world you can count on, and few of them are salutary. I can think of only three, two of which are horrible. Those are death and taxes. As for positives, I can think of one: the overwhelming goodness of Gary Sinise. Sinise, probably best known for his role as Lt. Dan in "Forrest Gump," has long worked with veterans and veterans groups, such as flying veterans to the National World War II Museum to tell their stories or serving them Thanksgiving dinner.

There’s a moment in the new Clarence Thomas documentary, “Created Equal: Clarence Thomas in His Own Words,” following the harrowing confirmation hearing that saw the gentle man, loving husband, and legal genius from Pin Point, Ga., accused of sexual harassment and smeared as a lecherous monster, that sticks with you long after the 2-hour film ends. It’s the look Thomas has on his face at his swearing-in ceremony. He’s not elated by the prospect of joining the Supreme Court. He looks tired and maybe more than a little concerned for his safety. And it’s an indictment of the people —...

WASHINGTON — US President Donald Trump praised Kim Jong Un as “very open” and “very honorable” on Tuesday, adding the North Korean leader wants to meet “as soon as possible.” “We are having very good discussions,” Trump said, ahead of a summit with the mercurial Kim expected sometime before the end of June. “He really has been very open, I think — very honorable.”

An Army veteran’s gift to charity will now enable 25 Oklahoma families to own their own homes. Sergeant First Class E-7 Stephen Florentz left behind his home and $2.25 million after his death to Central Oklahoma Habitat for Humanity, which said it would use the money from his estate to provide houses to 25 families who need them, WXIN reported. Florentz spent his life giving service to his country. He started out serving in Vietnam as a helicopter medic, became wounded in a battle in Asia, and received a Purple Heart before coming back to the U.S. Florentz also volunteered...

Donald Trump and Brexit may represent a nationalist revolution, but there is another, stealthier movement rustling through the nations of the world. The people of America and Britain may have voted last year for national sovereignty, but international forces are busy at work moving the planet in a different direction. The American republic, the Christian faith and the concept of liberty are all in danger as the Trojan horse of globalism moves the world inexorably toward a one-world government. And one new movie boldly sounds the alarm. “Revelation: Dawn of Global Government” documents in a fast-paced and entertaining narrative the...

Hollywood is full of far-left idiots who can’t stand President Donald Trump. These elitists don’t support our troops, and they’re out of touch with the rest of America. A rare exception is Gary Sinise, a patriot and famous actor. Sinise is well-known to our troops for the tireless work the Gary Sinise Foundation does to ensure injured veterans and their families are taken care of. He has flown all over the world, entertaining our troops along with the USO. These service members are in harms way and exhausted from their duties, and Sinise is always there to entertain and lift...

This letter from our military leaders to the voting public was organized by Major General Shachnow. Major General Shachnow has an amazing life story told in his memoir, Hope and Honor. His life experience help explains his leadership in opposing Hillary Clinton and supporting Donald Trump. Shachnow is the only Holocaust survivor to become a U.S. General and was a legend in the Green Berets, with whom he served for forty years. Like the perfidious Hillary supporter, the Nazi collaborator George Soros, Major General Sid Shachnow was a child in Nazi-era Europe. Shachnow took the opposite path from Soros.

Prime Minister Netanyahu adopted a 10-year-old rescue dog this summer. Apparently his son urged him to do so after hearing that the dog was about to be put down. The left being the left could not allow this to go without comment. I mean, it is outrageous when you think about it! Adopting an elderly dog from a rescue organization. Who does Prime Minister Netanyahu think he is? And so the left weighed in as only they can – with a level of hate and certifiable madness that truly boggles the mind. Israel National News reports:

Older black people, who were raised in an era when there was far greater discrimination and who faced far fewer opportunities, need to speak out against behavior and excuses that their parents would have never accepted. Otherwise, the race hustlers, poverty pimps and white liberals will continue with the narrative that black problems are a result of racism and racist cops and condemn future generations of blacks to a lifetime of mediocrity.

Senior Hizbullah official Hassan Fadlallah said Wednesday that his militia's weapons were of the “honorable” type and could not be compared with those of the United States and Israel. “Our choice was and still is to secure all the arms of resistance that we can,” Fadlallah told the Lebanese daily As-Safir. “There is a great difference between weapons that only serve invasions, occupations and aggressions, such as those of the United States and its ally Israel … and weapons of an honorable resistance that liberates, protects, and defends.”

The media has gone beyond condemning when it comes to President Bush. The media has picked President Bush apart from being an alcoholic to being unintelligent to being uncaring and a warmonger. The media started this before President Bush got into office and have never ceased. Throw the wonders of Hollywood in the mix and one wonders how President Bush carried it all without a whimper. President Bush is an honorable man?

Why does John Kerry refuse to sign (as President Bush has done) Standard Form 180 authorizing the release - as only he can - of all his military records? Why was no discharge certificate issued at the time of Kerry's early separation from active duty? Why does his medal listing on his own form DD 214 ...
