President-Elect Donald Trump just confirmed Judicial Watch President Tom Fitton’s claim from November 8.
Trump said it’s “TRUE” that he is prepared to declare a national emergency as soon as he takes office, and use the military “to reverse the Biden invasion through a mass deportation program.”
Of course, Connecticut Attorney General William Tong has promised not to cooperate with “federal roundups, except for violent offenses” because of Connecticut’s status as a sanctuary state.

As most military families are acutely aware, when a parent serves – the whole family is impacted. With the only constant being change, it’s not uncommon for feelings of isolation to surface, especially in children, with frequent moves, being far from family, and constantly being “the new kid.”
Since 1996, Sesame Street for Military Families has helped children and families in the military community with programming specifically aimed toward relevant topics that are unique to military life.
“Feeling isolated can happen to anyone, but this is especially true for our military families.

The annual Army-Navy football game is a hotly anticipated matchup between the Army Black Knights from the U.S. Military Academy and the Navy Midshipmen from the U.S. Naval Academy. Each year, the two schools debut a special uniform that the players will wear for the rivalry event. In previous years, tribute has been paid to legendary Army units and historic Navy achievements. For the 2024 Army-Navy Game, the ranked and undefeated Black Knights will wear uniforms to commemorate the 101st Airborne Division’s “Rendezvous with Destiny” at Bastogne during the Battle of the Bulge in WWII.

The United States, Australia and the United Kingdom signed a new agreement Monday that will see the three nations share each other’s testing facilities for hypersonic weapons.
Signed under Pillar 2 of the AUKUS trilateral security pact, the so-called Hypersonic Flight Test and Experimentation (HyFliTE) project arrangement includes plans to conduct at least six flight test campaigns by 2028, according to a news release from the Pentagon. A funding pool worth $252 million will be used to finance the efforts, the release noted.

The new director of the Defense Department’s All-Domain Anomaly Resolution Office (AARO) is scheduled to meet with lawmakers in closed-door and open sessions Tuesday to discuss his organization’s activities investigating “unidentified anomalous phenomena” that have raised national security concerns.
The hearing with the Senate Armed Services Subcommittee on Emerging Threats and Capabilities comes on the heels of the release of the Pentagon’s fiscal 2024 consolidated annual report on UAP.

President-elect Donald Trump is giving more and more hints that he is ready to use U.S. troops as part of his upcoming efforts to deport illegal immigrants.
Tom Fitton, president of the conservative group Judicial Watch, initially posted on Truth Social on Nov 8: “GOOD NEWS: Reports are incoming that @RealDonaldTrump administration prepared to declare a national emergency and will use military assets to reverse the Biden invasion through a mass deportation program.

Alaska black bears raided a supply room and a motor pool at Joint Base Elmendorf-Richardson, Alaska, leaving trails of MRE trash and climbing inside at least one Humvee in different incidents over the past month.
Perhaps unsurprisingly at JBER — which troops sometimes pronounce “J-Bear” — the bear raided at least on unit’s stash of cold weather Meals, Ready-to-Eat, or MREs leaving behind dozens of torn wrappers and packaging. About a week later, police and wildlife officials responded to a motor pool garage on base and found a bear inside a Humvee that was undergoing repairs.

This article was drafted two years ago, published in a few outlets, and then on Substack at the end of October when Trump’s impending landslide victory was clear. With Biden authorizing Ukraine’s use of long-range American munitions in Russia, the path to expanded conflict gets wider, making the scenario described in this article more realistic.

MANILA, Philippines — Defense chiefs from the U.S. and the Philippines on Monday entered into a new official agreement to enhance sensitive information-sharing and defense technology cooperation between their governments, and broke ground on a new Combined Coordination Center at Camp Aguinaldo in Manila, where their two nations’ military personnel will work side-by-side on regional security operations.
“It’s part of the strategic approach to facing our shared threats that both of our countries have invested a lot of resources, a lot of manpower, and a lot of brain power.

Africa is one of the fastest-growing radio communications markets in the world, but there remain challenges in the diverse environments.

Is the United States headed for a “Suez moment” in a future confrontation with China? Despite the growing prospect of protracted war, U.S. defense strategy appears wedded to getting ready for decisive battle. But the high costs of an elusive short war could handicap Washington in a long fight. In recent years, as U.S.

The U.S. Navy’s “dancing mouse” has been located after more than eight decades. The USS Edsall, which was sunk early in World War II while facing down overwhelming odds, was confirmed to be found this past week. 
The U.S. and Royal Australian Navy jointly announced the find last week. The ship, a Clemson-class destroyer sunk on March 1, 1942 after being attacked by Japanese forces, was located roughly 200 miles off of Christmas Island in the Pacific Ocean
In fact, it was found by accident.

Editor’s Note – At AFP we have been unabashadly calling for court martials for military leadership that allowed for the Marxist takeover of our armed forces, the deadly withdrawal from Afghanistan, and a use of a bioweapon against our troops.
We heartily endorse the Trump administration’s reported plans in this matter.

This story is developing…
The Biden administration has given authorization for Ukraine to launch long-range American missile technology on targets deep into the Russian Federation.
The move is seen as a push for WWIII as Trump enters office, possibly to prevent peace from breaking out and to further advance a third world war.
The specific weapon authorized is the Army Tactical Missile System (ATACMS).
The Biden administration will allow Kyiv limited use of ATACMS to strike enemy positions in Russia, according to senior U.S. officials, reports The Washington Post.

The deck chairs on the Progressive ship of state are starting to float away. Is it on the tears of Democrat despair? The rising hysteria of the left by Trump’s total sweep over their Progressive champion, both with the electoral and popular vote, is driving them nuts. The cacophony of anger and despair reflected in ignorant comments by TDS leftists on legacy media sites proves none of them love America.

The U.S. Navy welcomed another littoral combat ship into its ranks. The USS Nantucket, a Freedom-class littoral combat ship, was commissioned Saturday, Nov. 16 at the Charlestown Navy Ship Yard in Boston. 
The USS Nantucket entered active service while laying stern to stern with the Navy’s oldest commissioned ship, the USS Constitution. The wooden sailing ship, with sailors on board, created a contrast with the Freedom-class littoral combat ship that was, earlier this century, meant to represent the future of naval strategy and technology.

The Defense POW/MIA Accounting Agency (DPAA), in partnership with Project Recover and other experts in the field, has announced that they have positively identified the remains of 2nd Lt. Thomas V.

The 21-year-old from Livermore, CA, served as a bombardier in a B-24 bomber named Heaven Can Wait that was shot down over a remote bay in Papua New Guinea on March 11, 1944.

The Department of Defense is still struggling to account for its finances. The department once again failed its annual audit into its expenditures and assets.

The Army Special Operations Command at Fort Liberty, North Carolina — possibly soon to be renamed back to Fort Bragg, its previous name —  is retooling its 35,000 commandos for operations against China.
Last spring, some of the command’s 35,000 special operations forces took part in an unprecedented military deployment to Taiwan’s Kinmen island, about 3 miles from the Chinese mainland, the online military blog SOFREP reported.

The damage that “diversity, equity, and inclusion” (DEI) policies are doing to American colleges and universities is increasingly well-known, thanks largely to efforts of the National Association of Scholars and Minding the Campus, but the harm done to U.S. intelligence agencies has not been assessed—until now.
My study of the operational effects of DEI policies on the U.S. intelligence community (IC) indicates major damage. These troubles are related.
