A reminder to a nation with way too many people untethered to facts and truth: There’s no such thing as “The Department of War.” It doesn’t exist. Only Congress has the power to create and name executive departments & agencies. So it’s still The Department of Defense.
Thanks

Department of Defense Law of War Manual, Sec. 18.3.2.1 states the "requirement" to refuse illegal orders.
What’s its key example? Wait for it . . . It’s "orders to fire upon the shipwrecked."

Kelly: He runs around on stage talking about lethality and the warrior ethos.. That’s not the message that should be coming from the Secretary of Defense… He runs around on a stage like he’s a 12 year old playing army. It’s embarrassing.

Schmitt’s argument is unintentionally revealing.
The “color revolutions” were non-violent, pro-democracy political movements aimed at ending autocratic regimes in former Soviet bloc nations.
If the Democrats are leading a “color revolution,” then Trump is an autocrat & Schmitt is pro-autocrat.

Indiana GOP is going for it: They've released a proposed map that'd likely lock in a 9-0 GOP congressional delegation & flip the 2 currently held by Dems. Indianapolis would be cracked into GOP seats, and Gary would be drowned in red.

China Box Office: ‘Zootopia 2’ Opens With Massive $272 Million, Biggest Hollywood Haul in Years
Disney’s smash-hit animated sequel Zootopia 2 got off to a stunning start in China over the holiday weekend, opening with an enormous $272 million five-day box office haul. It was the kind of powerful performance that once had Hollywood executives wildly bullish on the market potential of the world’s most populous nation, but which grew scarce over the past half-decade as Chinese filmgoers began to favor local fare over imported Western storytelling. Zootopia 2, however, appears to have delivered the goods, irresistibly, for movie fans of all ages in the country.
