Pentagon Weighs Eliminating Civilian Tenure At Military Academies And Reviewing All Curriculum, Draft Memo Says

The Department of War is considering its most sweeping remake of military higher education. A draft memo would abolish civilian tenure at West Point, Annapolis, and the Air Force Academy, and launch a line-by-line review of all curriculum — measured against one standard: warfighting readiness.

Iran Security Chief: Hormuz Closed ‘Until America Corrects Its Behavior’ — Vance Says U.S. Still ‘Middle of the Game’

Iran’s top national security official warned Saturday that the Strait of Hormuz will remain closed until the United States “corrects its behavior,” issuing a sweeping list of demands as Vice President JD Vance said Washington remains in the “middle of the game” and is continuing to apply diplomatic, economic, and military pressure on Tehran. Mohammad Bagher Zolghadr, secretary of Iran’s Supreme National Security Council and a former senior Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps commander, demanded that the United States end military action and threats against Iran and its regional allies, lift its naval blockade, withdraw U.S. naval and air forces from around Iran, compensate Tehran for war damages, lift sanctions, and unconditionally release frozen Iranian assets.

Iran Issues Sweeping New Demands — Strait Of Hormuz Will Stay Shut Until Washington Pays War Reparations, Withdraws Military, Lifts All Sanctions

Iran's Supreme National Security Council delivered a maximalist list of preconditions Saturday: Washington must end the war with Iran and all its allies, lift the naval blockade, withdraw US forces, fully compensate Iran for war damage, lift all sanctions, and release frozen assets — before Hormuz reopens.

The demands are incompatible with Washington's position that a strait deal must come before any broader concessions.

Poland’s Conservatives propose deporting unemployed Ukrainian men of military age

Poland’s opposition Law and Justice party (PiS) has proposed deporting Ukrainian men of military age who are living in the country without legal employment. “This is helping Ukraine in terms of mobilization,” Kaczyński said, claiming Kyiv faces a serious shortage of military personnel, and should Russia seek to mobilize further after legislative elections in September, Ukraine must be prepared.

Ukraine Has No Answer For Russian Ballistic Missiles — And No Path To Success Without Talking Peace

Russian ballistic missiles struck Kyiv overnight and Ukraine's air defenses could not stop them — as they have failed for months. Patriot batteries are spread too thin. More Western hardware has not changed the equation.

There is one path that ends the strikes on Kyiv: a ceasefire and negotiations. The war caucus has spent four years making attrition look like strategy. It is not.

Conservatives Erupt As Thune Trends — Senate Ditched Washington Without Passing The SAVE Act And Trump Is Furious

Senate Majority Leader Thune recessed the chamber for August without passing the SAVE America Act — which requires proof of citizenship to register to vote, mandates voter ID, and ends universal mail-in ballots. The bill has ~80% public support and explicit repeated demands from Trump. Still did not pass.

Conservative base has one message this Sunday morning: you failed.

Hormuz talks positive, Oman says, as Iran warns deal would not open strait

Both sides suggested on Saturday that discussions were progressing, but a timeline on any deal being finalised remained unclear. Oman's foreign ministry warned against attacks on shipping that could hamper that. Iranian Foreign Minister Abbas Araghchi said talks were in their final stages but the reopening of the strait remained "subject to other conditions".

Senate Confirms Blanche As Attorney General By One Vote — Collins And Murkowski Bolt, Call DOJ A Political Weapon

The Senate confirmed Todd Blanche as the 88th AG 50-49. Collins and Murkowski were the only Republicans to vote no — both citing concerns that DOJ had become a tool of political retaliation rather than independent law enforcement.

Cassidy's last-minute yes was the difference. One more defection and the nomination dies. That is how thin Trump's Senate majority actually is.

The Death Threats That Never Happened

Connecticut's governor and secretary of state want you to believe reckless conservatives falsely accused an innocent woman of voter fraud and unleashed death threats. But the drunk driver who killed an off-duty Bridgeport cop and a mother of three was Melissa Esperanza Ramirez-Romero — BAC 0.14, cannabis positive, empty Coronas in the car.

The state isn't angry about the deaths. It's angry you found out who did it.

Syria And Russia Reach Deal To Reorganize Moscow's Military Presence

Iran says Oman deal is in ‘final stages’ but US must act to open Hormuz

A US official said on Friday that an agreement between Iran and Oman was close and could soon reopen the waterway, which carried a fifth of global oil and liquefied natural gas shipments before Iran blocked it in response to US and Israeli attacks. Iranian Foreign Minister Abbas Araqchi said on Sunday an agreement on the strait that lies between the two countries was in the “final stages” ‌but repeated comments made on Saturday that it would not reopen it unless other conditions were met.

Netanyahu Publicly Rejects Trump's Gaza Peace Plan — Says No Israeli Withdrawal Until Hamas Is 'Genuinely' Disarmed

Israeli PM Benjamin Netanyahu flatly rejected Trump's own U.S.-backed 15-point Gaza framework at a Sunday cabinet meeting, calling it unacceptable — just weeks after Hamas agreed to it. His finance minister immediately cheered the rejection, making clear that Israeli domestic politics, not American diplomacy, is driving this war.

Two Former NBA Players Declare For WNBA Draft As Transgender — WNBA Refuses To Define 'Woman' As League Policy Crumbles

Royce White and Enes Kanter Freedom both declared for the 2027 WNBA Draft, citing transgender identity. The WNBA's own CBA never defines what a 'woman' is — and the league has no coherent answer. White is threatening a discrimination lawsuit if they refuse to draft him.

This is what happens when institutions build policy on ideology instead of biology.
