“The Defense Department has confiscated the badges of the Pentagon reporters from virtually every major media organization in America,” the Pentagon Press Association said

Oct. 15, 2025
PENTAGON PRESS ASSOCIATION
STATEMENT
Today, the Defense Department confiscated the badges of the Pentagon reporters from virtually every major media organization in America. It did this because reporters would not sign onto a new media policy over its implicit threat of criminalizing national security reporting and exposing those who sign it to potential prosecution.
The Pentagon Press Association's members are still committed to reporting on the U.S. military. But make no mistake, today, Oct. 15, 2025 is a dark day for press freedom that raises concerns about a weakening U.S. commitment to transparency in governance, to public accountability at the Pentagon and to free speech for all.

Here is what the Mainstream Media will NOT tell you about Israel. That the Israelis tortured and beat the humanitarian aid workers that helped push Israel to a ceases fire in GAZA. These humanitarians with #GretaThunberg were beat near to death by Israel. That's who Israel has become. #Gaza

He gives $20 Billion of OUR dollars to bailout Argentina without consulting Congress or the American people. Does that seem like the actions of a KING to you?

Projecting what they are actually doing on to us. More red meat for their base. The only thing they do religiously is lie being the ‘Christian’s’ that they claim to be. And faux news parrots every word. Thats why they are brainwashed.

It really is bizarre to me that every single member of GOP House leadership & the admin has decided their coordinated talking point this week is that the No Kings demonstrations this Sat are essentially acts of domestic terrorism. Are they that afraid of free & peaceful assembly?

This made me cry. I was once the slower girl. (No one was diagnosing or treating exercise-induced asthma in the ‘70s.) My PE teacher would mock me and encourage the other girls to do the same. So happy to see things have changed, at least for that girl.

That’s real friendship. “I’ll walk with you.”

That’s a good teacher. , Whatever you can do, do it but have fun!

That’s true community: Let’s make the journey together in a way that includes everyone.

6/6 And more men and women realizing...too late...that the people they trusted sold them a brand...not a future.

Because when you betray the backbone of a nation...it’s not just crops that die.

It’s hope.

5/6 It broke families.
It broke towns.

And it carved something into me that’s never left: when leaders trade loyalty for leverage, it’s always the working man who pays the price.

This time… I fear it’ll be worse.

More debt. More pressure. More betrayal wrapped in patriotism.

3/6 And now? He just bailed out Argentina...a foreign government...while the same American farmers who fed this nation are being left to rot on their own soil.

He sold every damn one of them out.

I know what’s coming next because I’ve seen this movie before.

There's always been a fight over the true story of America. I believe deeply in the story that says we’re all created equal, and that if we can treat each other with decency and respect, all of us will be better off.

Klippenstein: The memo says it considers as indicators things like anti-Christian sentiment, anti-government views, and anti-traditional family positions.

These are descriptors that would cover millions and millions of people in this country.

If you can’t sell your soybeans because of Trump’s tariffs after Argentina stepped in and took your customers, you can take solace that the guy you voted for also just gave $20 billion of your tax dollars to the country that is bankrupting you.
