The American people voted for President Trump, three times, by overwhelming margins. Americans voted for a shake up of ‘the blob’ in Washington, D.C., the name given to the national security apparatus that keeps the ‘forever wars’ going, that promotes itself, and feeds the NGO, think tank, defense industry machine year after year, while the American people suffer.
The America First movement, or MAGA, is ascendent in American politics. Many in ‘the blob’ don’t like that, and are making their opinions know in the press.
President Donald Trump nominated Lt. Gen. Christopher LaNeve on Monday to serve as the next vice chief of staff of the Army and recommended his appointment to the grade of general.
An official hearing date has not been made public, but if confirmed by the Senate, LaNeve will replace Gen. James Mingus, the long-time innovator who was sworn in as the Army’s No. 2 general officer and principal deputy to Chief of Staff Gen. Randy George in January 2024 under the Biden administration.

For a generation that lived the war in Afghanistan one grid square at a time, the war now feels like a series of dots on a map. A patrol base carved out of hardpan soil. A culvert on a highway that never felt safe. A ridge where the radio went quiet.

They launched Project Athena — a visual map connecting the memories of soldiers to the coordinates where they occurred.

President Donald Trump nominated a new general to take over the role of the second-highest-ranking military leader in the Army, a move that would replace a four-star that has spent less than two years in the job.
Trump nominated Lt. Gen. Christopher LaNeve as the Vice Chief of Staff of the Army on Monday, according to a notification to Congress. LaNeve currently serves as a senior military assistant to Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth.
If approved by the Senate, he would replace Gen. James Mingus, who has been serving as the Army’s number two since January 2024.
Shortly before his final flight over North Vietnam, Air Force Maj. Robert Lodge told his fellow airmen that if his plane ever went down, he would rather die than risk being captured and possibly divulging information that would endanger American aircrews.
Lodge had detailed knowledge of a highly classified system that allowed American fighters to detect enemy MiGs from beyond visual range, said retired Col. Chuck DeBellevue, who flew with Lodge with the 555th Tactical Fighter Squadron during the Vietnam War.
