ANNOUNCEMENT:

Nancy is trying to make herself the story and intentionally misleading the public. There are only 60 seats available for journalists to occupy in the Pentagon Briefing Room and Nancy was 1 of 10 other reporters we could not accommodate today due to space constraints. Because the Atlantic has attended every briefing to date since Operation Epic Fury began, we gave the chance for other outlets to also have the opportunity to attend, like the Daily Mail, The Verge, and the Hill who were seated for the first time today. Nancy was given notice we could not accommodate her on Thursday, and the Atlantic remains welcome at future press briefings.

Touchdown

AMERICA’S SECRETARY OF DEFENSE!

Agreed. 🇺🇸 Now we have a Secretary of War…and a Secretary of Defense!

STATEMENT: The Department of War is returning Stars & Stripes to its original mission: reporting for our warfighters. We are bringing Stars & Stripes into the 21st century. We will modernize its operations, refocus its content away from woke distractions that syphon morale, and adapt it to serve a new generation of service members. Stars & Stripes will be custom tailored to our warfighters. It will focus on warfighting, weapons systems, fitness, lethality, survivability, and ALL THINGS MILITARY. No more repurposed DC gossip columns; no more Associated Press reprints. Stars & Stripes has a proud legacy of reporting news that’s important to our service members. The Department of War is committed to ensuring the outlet continues to reflect that proud legacy.

.@washingtonpost it feels good to be sitting at your old desk at the Pentagon! Have fun outside!

Welcome to the War Department.

The self-righteous media chose to self-deport from the Pentagon. That’s their right -- but also their loss. They will not be missed. The Department of War will make an announcement soon regarding the next generation of the Pentagon press corps. Stay tuned. The best is yet to come!

It is the @DeptofWar, you leftist tool.

The Department of War has engaged in good-faith negotiations with the Pentagon Press Association, maintaining open dialogue with its members and accepting many of their suggested edits. Even the New York Times has recognized the Department’s accommodating approach. Congress has made clear that unauthorized release of sensitive information by DOW personnel is a crime. Our policy is also clear: soliciting DOW service members and civilians to commit crimes is strictly prohibited. Beyond their displeasure at no longer being permitted to solicit criminal acts, the Pentagon Press Association’s objection to our updated media policy is that we require journalists to simply acknowledge they understand our rules protecting information critical to operational and national security. To be clear, we are not asking for their agreement, only confirmation of their understanding of these policies. At the direction of the Pentagon Press Association, many journalists are refusing to acknowledge that they understand our clear policy. Despite many statements to the contrary, journalists are not required to clear stories with us, they retain robust access to our public affairs offices, the briefing room, and the ability to ask questions, which we continue to answer thoroughly. They can also move freely throughout the building. In sensitive areas where they can’t, they’ll simply need an escort. The only change is an overdue update to our credentialing process, which hasn’t been revised in years—if not decades—to align with modern security standards. Such procedures are standard at military establishments worldwide, and the Pentagon is no exception. Access to the Pentagon is a privilege, not a right and the Department is not only legally permitted, but morally obligated to impose reasonable regulations on the exercise of that privilege.

T-minus 7 days until @SenSchumer’s vanity shutdown means our great troops won’t get paid. SELFISH Schumer cares WAY MORE about his own reelection (he’s scared of Socialist @AOC) than he cares about the essential paycheck of our SELFLESS troops.

There is no doubt in my mind: the 2004 Auburn Tigers were the best team in college football. The players, coaches, and fans deserve to be recognized as the National Champions. War Eagle!
