ANALYSIS – Is Trump regretting his VP pick? Will Trump tell Vance he is “fired”? When former President Donald Trump selected J.D. Vance as his vice presidential candidate soon after surviving an assassination attempt, some called the choice bold and a doubling down on Trumpism.
I said he could help Trump make his case in 2024 and be the GOP standard bearer in 2028. Still, I also said I would have preferred Trump had picked a woman, and that I had some reservations about Vance as VP, including his youth and inexperience.
The US is failing to quickly field hypersonic missile defenses against China. The Pentagon warned last year that China already possesses “the world's leading hypersonic arsenal” and is sprinting to field more advanced offensive capabilities. These would allow Beijing to conduct a prompt strike that paralyzes America's command-and-control and missile-defense capabilities.
Here's what I learned as the US government's UFO hunter. A forthcoming investigational report from an office of the Pentagon has found no evidence of aliens, only allegations circulated repeatedly by UFO claim advocates.

In a subterranean compound deep below Khan Younis, a Hamas stronghold in the southern Gaza Strip, the five cells with barred doors that the Israeli military says held hostages abducted from Israel had clearly been constructed long in advance.

FOR YOUR EYES ONLY – Here's a roundup of today's other top defense stories from conservative national security expert PAUL CRESPO.

NATIONAL SECURITY

These would allow Beijing to conduct a prompt strike that paralyzes America's command-and-control and missile-defense capabilities.

In Ukraine's river war, drones mean nowhere is safe. There are few places from where you can see Russian-occupied territory with the naked eye in Ukraine.
