Pete Hegseth Drops the Hammer on Biden’s Vaccine Purge Disaste

Troops who got the boot over the COVID-19 vaccine mandate are about to catch a serious break, and it’s coming straight from War Secretary Pete Hegseth. Yes, even for the guys who have zero interest in putting the uniform back on.

Hegseth made the announcement in a video on X Friday afternoon, promising to fix the financial hits and restore benefits that were stripped away because of those garbage “general” discharges.

“I’m directing the Under Secretary of War for Personnel and Readiness to establish a Department of War COVID-19 reinstatement and Reconciliation Task Force,” Hegseth explained, noting that their first move would be to assist anyone who wanted to return to military service to do so. “The services have them right now. We’re establishing one at our level to oversee the entire thing. The task force’s goal is to bring back into service all those who desire to continue to serve our country in uniform.”

But Hegseth wasn’t stopping there. He went on to say that changes were also coming for those who were discharged for refusing the COVID vaccine mandate under former President Joe Biden and opted not to put the uniform back on. Those who were denied education benefits due to a “general” discharge, Hegseth vowed, would have them restored.

“Even if you do not intend to return to service, the War Department will provide a path for resolution of unearned bonuses, upgrades to discharge characterizations that will unlock your well-deserved benefits, and removal of adverse documents from service files,” he said. “Further, I have directed a review of policies and decision-making to ensure that we do not go down this path again. You raised your right hand and sworn ill to serve and protect the Constitution and our nation.”

“You were mistreated by the Biden Pentagon, and we are fixing that injustice,” Hegseth concluded.

About damn time.

Between August 2021 and early 2023, roughly 8,700 service members were railroaded out of the military thanks to Biden’s vaccine obsession. Over a third of them — around 3,000 — got slapped with “general” discharges instead of the honorable ones they’d earned. On top of that, plenty lost enlistment bonuses and pay because they were forced out before their contracts were up.

A “general” discharge usually means you can still get some VA disability and health care, but the post-9/11 G.I. Bill education benefits? Often locked out. Classic bureaucratic screw job.

As of March 2026, the Air Force had already upgraded discharges for about 600 of these troops. The Marine Corps and Navy led the pack in sheer numbers of vaccine mandate separations, because of course they did.

Hegseth and the new team are finally treating these patriots like the Americans who raised their right hands to defend the Constitution — not like lab rats for Biden’s failed authoritarian experiment. It’s a long-overdue correction to one of the most disgraceful chapters in recent Pentagon history.

Texas apparent woman indicted for attempting arson of GOP Headquarters

SAN ANTONIO, Texas — Well, folks, the "mostly peaceful" resistance brigade is at it again. A federal grand jury in San Antonio has indicted a 22-year-old New Braunfels woman for the alleged arson attack on the Comal County Republican Party Headquarters. Grace Carol Brown is charged with actual and attempted malicious damage by fire to property involved in interstate or foreign commerce.

According to the indictment, on January 14, Brown allegedly broke a window, tossed a backpack inside, failed to squeeze through the window herself like a bad cat burglar, and then decided to light a rolled-up magazine on fire and hurl it into the building. Real master criminal stuff there. She also left a note at the scene, because these revolutionaries always need to make sure the rest of us know how deep and thoughtful their tantrums are.

An arson note was left by the suspect in an alleged arson attack on the
Texas GOP headquarters building. (Some text blurred by DOJ) (U.S. Department of Justice)

The note, preserved for posterity by the feds, read: “Report this: I burned down the Nazi Party of NB’s office. F**K DJT F**K ICE, Liberty or die.”

Ah yes, the classic "Liberty or die schtick . . .  but first let me commit a felony" manifesto. The backpack inside reportedly contained ethanol, gasoline, a lighter, matches, and other goodies, your standard Antifa Amazon shopping list for leftist 'patriots'.

Investigators say Brown's writings showed a deep disdain for the Comal County Republican Party, ICE, federal law enforcement, and certain Executive Branch officials she labeled "Enemies of the U.S. Constitution." 

The note also featured the Drei Pfeile symbol, the three arrows thing cooked up by the Iron Front in 1930s Germany that's now a favorite of Antifa-aligned activists and other black-bloc cosplay enthusiasts.

Brown was arrested within days. New Braunfels Police, the Fire Marshal’s Office, and the FBI handled the investigation. She's facing federal charges plus state burglary and arson counts. If convicted on the federal stuff, she could be looking at five to 20 years in prison, where she'll have plenty of time to reflect on how burning down buildings is apparently the purest form of "democracy." However, the probability of her actually serving any real "time" is about as likely as finding a kangaroo driving for Uber Eats.

U.S. Attorney Justin R. Simmons announced the indictment on Friday. Somewhere out there, a whole bunch of people who spent years screaming about "threats to democracy" are suddenly very quiet about this one. 

Shocking, I know.

Trump gives thumbs down on "totally unacceptable" offer from Iranian regime

President Donald Trump responded with characteristic force on Sunday after receiving what he described as a “totally unacceptable” offer from Iranian regime leaders, at least those still left alive.

Taking to Truth Social late that afternoon, Trump revealed that he had read the Iranian regime’s reply to his latest proposal aimed at ending the conflict and securing a deal, and he made no secret of his displeasure.

“I have just read the response from Iran’s so-called ‘Representatives.’ I don’t like it — TOTALLY UNACCEPTABLE!” Trump posted.

In an earlier message that same afternoon, he had cautioned the Iranian regime against continuing to play games with the United States. Time and again he has urged Iran’s leadership to accept a deal, while warning that failure to do so on his timetable could mean the end of the regime itself, as in 'death to the so called fidels.'

On Friday, Trump had spoken of awaiting an important letter from Tehran, one that would shape America’s next steps. At the time he appeared confident that the Iranians were eager to reach an agreement.

“We’re getting a letter [from Iran] supposedly tonight, so we’ll see how that goes,” he told reporters. He added that he was unsure whether Tehran’s leadership was deliberately prolonging the talks, a tactic the Trump administration had noted in previous rounds of negotiation. “I don’t know. We’ll find out soon enough.”

It seems that the Iranian regime hasn't yet heard about email.

The administration has left no ambiguity about the terms it will accept. Any deal, it has stated plainly, must see Iran abandon all efforts to enrich uranium and develop nuclear weapons, while fully reopening the Strait of Hormuz.

This latest exchange comes amid repeated skirmishes, most of them sparked by Iranian attacks. When reporters pressed Secretary of State Marco Rubio on the persistence of violence despite the supposed ceasefire, he offered a blunt reply. Only a stupid country, Rubio said, would fail to fire back when fired upon, "and America isn't a stupid country," [unless you're only talking about the Democrats, he did not add].

Gender dysphoric male, AB Hernandez dominates females in 3 jumping events at Calif. postseason track meet

Male in disguise

YORBA LINDA, Calif. — In a stunning display of biological supremacy that shocked absolutely no one with a functioning grasp of reality, a California high school track meet opened Saturday with a "Save Girls’ Sports" rally and concluded exactly as physics demanded: a dude absolutely vaporizing the female competition in the jumping events.

The CIF Southern Section Division 3 preliminaries in Yorba Linda kicked off with protesters outside the gates bravely pointing out that boys aren’t girls, a controversial take in the Golden State. Inside the stadium, however, AB Hernandez, a male senior from Jurupa Valley who previously dabbled in girls’ volleyball, once again reminded everyone why men’s sports and women’s sports used to be separate categories.

Hernandez, competing in the girls’ division per California’s “be whatever you feel like today” policy, dominated the long jump, triple jump, and tied for first in the high jump. His long jump of 20 feet, 4¼ inches left the next closest actual girl more than a foot behind, because apparently “inclusion” now means “leave the girls in the dust, literally.”

In the triple jump, Hernandez launched a 42-foot-4-inch leap that made the silver and bronze finishers look like they were hopping over puddles. Sources confirmed the gap was large enough to drive a semi-truck labeled “Title IX Violations” through.

One grandparent attending to cheer on Moorpark High summed up the mood of the evening: “It happened last year and I thought it’d be done, but it’s California.” He then reportedly shrugged so hard his shoulders filed for workers’ comp.

Another parent from Yucca Valley offered the enlightened progressive solution: “I think they should have their own division. I just don’t like bullying one kid.” When asked to clarify which kid was being bullied, he gestured vaguely toward the entire girls’ team currently staring at Hernandez’s spike marks in the sand pit.

Adding a delicious layer of satire to the proceedings, Hernandez tied for first in the high jump with Reese Hogan, the same athlete who previously made headlines by dramatically claiming the top podium spot after Hernandez won an earlier event. This time? A wholesome tie. Everyone clapped. Several biological females in the stands were heard quietly calculating how many scholarships just evaporated.

Outside, former NCAA athlete Sophia Lorey led the “Save Girls’ Sports” rally, because apparently it now takes protests just to maintain the radical notion that women should be allowed to win women’s sports.

As of press time, California officials were reportedly still defending the policy while Governor Gavin Newsom’s office bravely announced that he was “not personally named in the DOJ lawsuit,” which is exactly what you want from your state leadership when teenage girls are getting their dreams long-jumped into oblivion.

The results board, meanwhile, continues to commit hate crimes by displaying objective measurements.

Can an old commie flip Texas? Dems unleash a secret weapon to loosen up the state: a 900-Year-Old guy from Vahmont

AUSTIN, TX—In a desperate bid to halt the unstoppable Trump juggernaut and claw back at least one chamber of Congress, Democrats have set their sights on mission impossible: flipping Texas. With redistricting proving to be yet another catastrophic L for the party of joy and vibes, party strategists have reportedly concluded that the only thing standing between them and total irrelevance is . . .  dusting off Bernie Sanders.

Yes, that Bernie Sanders; the guy who honeymooned in Russia and in late 2016 to 2017, after his book royalties made him a millionaire, stopped using his familiar phrase "millionaires and billionaires and dropped the "millionaires" from his Brooklyn accent vocabulary when addressing wealth inequality. 

Hypocrisy much?

State Democrats took to social media this week to teasingly post a mysterious silhouetted figure who will address the Texas Democratic Convention in June. Political analysts, after squinting at the image for three seconds, confirmed what everyone already knew: it’s the same wild-haired, finger-wagging socialist who’s been cosplaying as a revolutionary since the Coolidge administration.

The move comes as Democrats rally behind Senate candidate James Talarico, a man so far left he makes Karl Marx look like a Heritage Foundation intern. Republicans have gleefully pointed out Talarico’s greatest hits on open borders, gender theology, sneering at Christianity, and enthusiastic support for abortion up to and including the college graduation ceremony. Now, with Bernie Sanders, fresh off endorsing race-communist Zohran Mamdani in New York, riding shotgun to pump up the base, experts agree: this is exactly the moderate, relatable messaging deep-red Texans have been craving.

“He’s a man of the people,” said one Texas Democrat strategist, while quietly updating his résumé for a think tank job in Virginia. “Bernie’s authenticity will really resonate with ranchers in Lubbock and oil workers in Midland. Just wait until they hear about the free college and wealth taxes!”

Talarico, with full Bernie endorsement energy, will go on to face either Sen. John Cornyn or Texas AG Ken Paxton in November, in what insiders are already calling “the most normal election Texas has ever seen.”

Tampon Tim forcing teachers to abide by "horribly disgusting" "crazy" race standard says lawmaker

Minnesota state Sen. Mark Koran (R), is speaking out against a teacher requirement that he says amounts to forcing educators to take an oppressor "vow."

Public school teachers in Gov. Tim Walz’s Minnesota are required to abide by a "horribly disgusting" and "crazy" race standard that forces them to assess how their "biases, perceptions and academic training" perpetuate oppression, a state lawmaker said.

In an interview with Fox News Digital, Republican state Sen. Mark Koran pointed to the requirement as further evidence of how education in Minnesota has "eroded."

According to Minnesota’s guidebook on "Standards of Effective Practice," public school teachers hoping to be licensed by the state must demonstrate that they have assessed "how their biases, perceptions and academic training may affect their teaching practice and perpetuate oppressive systems."

The requirement, which Minnesota classifies as one of its "professional responsibilities," further demands teachers use "tools to mitigate their own behavior to disrupt oppressive systems."

Koran said this requirement effectively amounts to forcing teachers to take a "vow of being an oppressor," which he called "just crazy" and "horribly detrimental."

He ripped into Walz over the changes, saying, "He's tied to the radicals, he's tied to the teachers’ unions, all the public unions of a really wild, radical agenda."

According to Koran, Minnesota has recently redone all of its teaching licensing standards "under the guise of racism."Under the new standards, he explained, teachers "have to embed in their curriculum, in their pedagogy, the understanding of the ‘oppressed’ and the ‘oppressor’ environment and overtly include that in their curricula."

"It's horribly disgusting," he said. "It is racism. It is instilling the systemic racism that doesn't exist today."Another professional responsibility required by Minnesota is that teachers understand "how prejudice, discrimination, and racism operate at the interpersonal, intergroup and institutional levels."

Teachers are required to demonstrate an understanding of "the historical foundations of education in Minnesota, including law, policies, and practices, that have and continue to create inequitable opportunities, experiences, and outcomes for learners."

The guidebook continues that teachers must highlight how the education system has created inequitable opportunities for "Indigenous students and students historically denied access, underserved, or underrepresented on the basis of race, class, disability, religion, gender, sexual orientation, language, socioeconomic status, or country of origin." In other words, it tells us to acknowledge that the white man sucks.

Further, under the section on student learning, the guidebook requires teachers to demonstrate their understanding of "the diverse impacts of individual and systemic trauma" on learning, including "racism, and micro and macro aggressions."Teachers are required to know how to support students using "culturally responsive strategies and resources to address these impacts."

Koran asserted that this "wild political ideology" is going to drive out more and more teachers from teaching in public schools.

"It's an offensive statement to assume that somebody's an oppressor based on who's the disfavored race of the week," he said. "We just can't have that."

Koran said that these race-based changes have been made as academic outcomes in Minnesota have simultaneously been plummeting.

"They've lowered the standards under the guise of equity," he said. "Today in Minnesota, half of our children can't read or write or do math at grade level, 50 percent, and they have high school diplomas."

"Minnesota is bragging about the graduation rates; we hit the highest ever, but fewer people have an education and are set up with a foundation to be successful," he lamented.

This comes as Walz and the state of Minnesota are facing increased national scrutiny over one of the largest fraud scandals in U.S. history. Koran said that if there is one message he could communicate to Minnesotans, it is that "the governor matters."

"We’ve got to get Minnesota back on the right track," he said. "The governor sets the tone, sets the direction, and sets the goals for which we need to work to achieve."

Look, only in Tim Walz's fever-dream version of Minnesota do they decide the best way to fix education is to make teachers swear allegiance to the Church of Oppressor Guilt. This isn't teacher training. It's a re-education camp with lesson plans. Koran is out here dropping truth bombs while the radicals turn classrooms into struggle sessions where "bias" is whatever the latest DEI commissar says it is.

They've got educators confessing their sins against the "oppressed" and "disrupting systems" like they're in some cult initiation. Meanwhile, half the kids can't read or do basic math but hey, at least the graduation rates look good on paper. Classic Minnesota: fake the numbers, push the ideology, and watch the whole thing collapse in slow motion. Walz and his union buddies own this mess, and voters are starting to notice.

Democrat Mayor of Winnsboro arrested on 6 counts of Medicaid fraud

Alice Wallace, the Democrat mayor of Winnsboro, Louisiana (a small town in Franklin Parish), was arrested on April 21, 2026, and charged with six counts of government benefits fraud related to an alleged Medicaid fraud scheme.

Key Details of the CaseAllegations: 

Wallace, 50, is accused of fraudulently receiving Medicaid benefits for herself and a dependent from 2021 through 2026, totaling about $75,000, while ineligible due to her income and employment.

She allegedly failed to report changes in household income, marital status, employment (including her role as mayor), and access to employer-provided health insurance.

One count corresponds to each year of the alleged fraud. The investigation started from a referral by the Louisiana Department of Health.

She was arrested by the Louisiana Bureau of Investigation (under Attorney General Liz Murrill) and booked into East Baton Rouge Parish Prison. She turned herself in.BackgroundWallace became Winnsboro's first female mayor in 2022, winning by a narrow 12-vote margin. 

Wallace, like Chris Wallace [no relation] is a Democrat, in case I didn't mention it.

The charges cover a period including her time in office. Wallace has denied the allegations, calling them politically motivated ahead of her re-election bid (primary on May 16, 2026). At least she didn't call those who made allegations 'racists'. She pleaded not guilty, naturally.

In a Facebook post, Wallace stated she would be "vindicated" and blamed interference (including references to "the devil" in some reports) for trying to derail her campaign. The case is pending in Franklin Parish court.

This is a developing story.

Iran claims they hit 3 U.S .warships, Trump says U.S. warships crushed the Iranian attack in the Strait of Hormuz

Iranian state-linked fake media reported Thursday that Iranian forces exchanged fire with “the enemy” [aka Big Satan] near Qeshm Island, a strategically critical island in the Strait of Hormuz that sits as a checkpoint at the mouth of the strait and plays a major role in Iran's ability to disrupt global shipping, as explosions and damage were reported in the area. 

According to Iran’s regime-run Fars News Agency, parts of the commercial zone at Bahman Port on Qeshm Island were struck during the exchange of fire between Iranian armed forces and what the outlet described only as “the enemy.”

Other Iranian fake media outlets claimed the explosions may have been caused by hostile action originating from the United Arab Emirates, according to the IRGC-affiliated Tasnim News Agency. 

Despite a ceasefire remaining in place on paper, Iran launched multiple missile and drone attacks against the United Arab Emirates this week, targeting commercial shipping, oil infrastructure, and Emirati territory.

Meanwhile, in real life, President Trump said three U.S. Navy destroyers successfully transited out of the Strait of Hormuz while under attack from Iranian powderpuff forces, claiming American ships suffered no damage while Iranian attackers were “completely destroyed.”

“Three World Class American Destroyers just transited, very successfully, out of the Strait of Hormuz, under fire,” Trump wrote.

According to Trump, Iranian forces launched missiles, drones, and small boat attacks against the destroyers, but U.S. forces intercepted the incoming threats and destroyed the attacking vessels like they were insignificant annoyances at a picnic.

“Missiles were shot at our Destroyers, and were easily knocked down. Likewise, drones came, and were incinerated while in the air,” the most effective and tremendous U.S. president said. He added that many Iranian boats were sent to the bottom of the sea, and described them as replacements for Iran's "fully decapitated Navy."

"These boats went to the bottom of the Sea, quickly and efficiently," he wrote.

The president also warned Iran against further escalation, saying the regime would face significantly stronger military action if it does not agree to a deal with the United States.

"They’ll never have that opportunity and, just like we knocked them out again today, we’ll knock them out a lot harder, and a lot more violently, in the future, if they don’t get their Deal signed, FAST!" Trump said.

Trump added that the destroyers would now return to enforcing the U.S. naval blockade, which he described as a "Wall of Steel."

“A normal Country would have allowed these Destroyers to pass, but Iran is not a normal Country,” Trump said. “They are led by LUNATICS.”

Trump further warned that Iran cannot be allowed to obtain a nuclear weapon, arguing the regime would use one if given the opportunity, and anyone with a functioning cortex knows this is true.
