US Military Recruiting Skyrockets under Trump

Army recruiting shatters records after President Trump election win

The US Army recently announced it shattered previous recruiting records, with December 2024 being the most productive December in 15 years.

The branch reported it enlisted nearly 350 soldiers every day that month, Army officials announced Tuesday on social media.

“Our Recruiters have one of the toughest jobs – inspiring the next generation of #Soldiers to serve. Congratulations and keep up the great work! #BAYCB,” Army recruiting officials wrote in a post on X.

Secretary of Defense Pete Hegseth took to X to share the news.

“BOTTOM LINE: America’s youth want to serve under the bold & strong “America First” leadership of [President Donald Trump] @realDonaldTrump.”

In October 2023, the Army unveiled a series of sweeping changes to its recruiting enterprise, including an expanded focus on a larger share of the labor market and the creation of a specialized talent acquisition workforce.

The Army surged medical providers to Military Entrance Processing Stations across the country to help make the enlistment process more efficient, and leveraged innovative new technologies to reach expanded audiences and help identify candidates interested in military service.

There was also a notable expansion of the branch’s Future Soldier Preparatory Course, which helps potential recruits overcome academic and physical fitness barriers to service, while allegedly “not sacrificing quality for quantity.”

Still, the US military missed its recruiting goals by 41,000 in 2023.

In 2024, the Army announced it was cutting its force by 24,000 in a restructuring to “help the service fight in future wars.”

If you see other articles saying the recruitment rise began in 2024, remember that Biden's army in 2024 was actually downsizing.

Guantanamo now home to 30K Illegals

Trump will send up to 30K illegal immigrants to Guantanamo Bay: ‘It’s a tough place to get out of’

President Trump said Wednesday that he plans to send up to 30,000 illegal immigrants to detention facilities at Guantanamo Bay, Cuba, as part of his campaign to mass-deport migrants who have committed crimes.

Trump inked a memorandum requiring the Pentagon and Department of Homeland Security to prepare for migrants there after previewing the plan while signing the anti-illegal immigration Laken Riley Act.

“Today, I’m also signing an executive order to instruct the Departments of Defense and Homeland Security to begin preparing the 30,000-person migrant facility at Guantanamo Bay,” Trump said.

“Most people don’t even know that we have 30,000 beds in Guantanamo to detain the worst criminal illegal aliens threatening the American people.”

Trump added that “some of them are so bad, we don’t even trust the countries to hold them, because we don’t want them coming back.”

“This will double our capacity immediately, right? And … it’s a tough place to get out of.”

The memorandum requires the Defense Department and DHS to “take all appropriate actions to expand” facilities “to full capacity to provide additional detention space for high-priority criminal aliens unlawfully present in the United States.”

The United States has a long-term lease from Cuba’s government for a naval facility at Guantanamo Bay, which has housed terrorism suspects since the Sept. 11, 2001, attacks on the World Trade Center and Pentagon.

Only 15 terror suspects remain there, down from nearly 700 in 2003.

. . .

Border czar Tom Homan told reporters on the White House driveway Wednesday afternoon that “there’s already a migrant center” at the Cuba outpost and “it’s been there for decades.”

. . .

And nearly all those terrorists that were in Guantanamo were released under the previous administration.

Media Leaks ICE Raids Targeting Tren De Aragua

Trump border czar Tom Homan vows to probe leak that stifled ICE raid targeting Venezuelan gang in Colorado

Border czar Tom Homan issued a warning after a U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) raid was leaked this week, greatly reducing the number of violent Venezuelan gang members authorities were able to arrest.

Homan said he will be addressing the leak stemming from Wednesday's operation in Aurora, Colorado, "immediately" during "The Faulkner Focus," making it clear anyone who stifles the agency's ability to get dangerous criminals off the streets will be held accountable.

"We're not going to tolerate it anymore. This is not a game," Homan told Harris Faulkner on Thursday.

"When we show up at these sites, this is a dangerous job for the men and women of ICE and Border Patrol and all the DOJ agencies. To have this type of interference puts our officers at great risk, not only the officers, it puts the aliens at great risk because anything can happen when we take our eyes off the goal here, so we're addressing it immediately today."

"This is not a joke. This is serious business, and they need to stop, or we're going to prosecute them through [the] Department of Justice," he continued.

Homan confirmed a raid in Aurora on Wednesday was leaked to the community beforehand, which greatly reduced the arrests of Tren de Aragua gang members and other dangerous criminals.

Enforcement and Removal Operations (ERO) Denver posted to X that "100+ members of the violent Venezuelan gang Tren de Aragua were targeted for arrest and detention in Aurora, Colo., today by ICE and its partners @FBI @DEAHQ @CBP @ATFHQ & @USMarshalsHQ in an ongoing investigation."

The U.S. Drug Enforcement Administration (DEA) Rocky Mountain Division not only confirmed to local KDVR that this was part of the operation that was expected to start in Aurora last week, but also posted a video just after 7 a.m. local time of agents conducting search warrant operations.

However, when hundreds of federal officials began the raid going door-to-door at various apartment complexes, they were met largely with many empty buildings.

Activists also lined the streets taunting them while they looked for perpetrators.

Further information may be coming as it appears the LA Times posted and leaked upcoming ICE raids.

Superbowl 2025

Super Bowl 2025: Eagles stun Chiefs in blowout, denying Kansas City historic title three-peat

The Birds have slain the beast, prevented history in the process and turned in one of the most dominant Super Bowl performances of all time.

The Philadelphia Eagles throttled the Kansas City Chiefs 40-22 on Sunday in Super Bowl 59 at Caesars Superdome to deny the Chiefs becoming the NFL’s first-ever “three-peat” Super Bowl champions.

The Eagles didn’t let the Chiefs being on the brink of history – or the last Super Bowl between the teams two years ago, a 38-35 loss for Philadelphia – affect their performance. Philadelphia snatched the pen to write its own version of history and did the football equivalent of drawing on the Chiefs’ forehead.

Chiefs quarterback Patrick Mahomes ran for his life all game, and the Eagles’ defense deserves the credit for making him jumpy from the start. Josh Sweat led the team with 2 ½ sacks, and Milton Williams had two. The team’s six sacks were one off the Super Bowl record for most sacks in the game. Williams’ strip sack of Mahomes in the fourth quarter, which he recovered, was the exclamation point on the commanding defensive effort.

Mahomes had two touchdown passes in the final three minutes to make the game appear closer than it ever really was.

Eagles quarterback Jalen Hurts, aside from one ill-advised interception while facing a free blitzer, played with poise and finished 17-for-22 passing for 221 yards with two touchdowns to go with one rushing score. He was the game’s leading rusher with 72 yards on the ground on 11 attempts. After the Eagles took over on downs late in the third quarter, he found DeVonta Smith (four catches, 69 yards) on a go route down the seam for a 46-yard touchdown to make it 34-0.

Running back Saquon Barkley, who set the all-time record for rushing yards in a season (including playoffs) during the game, did not unleash a breakout run as he’d done all postseason – sometimes multiple times in those games. He finished with 57 rushing yards on 25 carries but caught a team-high six passes for 40 yards. It marked his first time since Week 15 of the regular season without more than 100 rushing yards in a game.

The Chiefs went from the verge of cementing themselves as the team’s most prolific dynasty to facing the prospect of becoming the first team to be shut out on the world’s largest stage. Kansas City started 0-for-8 on third down, and Xavier Worthy caught the team’s first touchdown to make it 34-6 with 34 seconds left in the third quarter.

Down the field, Mahomes had nobody to throw to. Travis Kelce (four receptions, 39 yards) was a non-factor; his first catch came with three minutes remaining in the third quarter and the game already decided. And the lack of rushing attack was one of several factors that allowed the Eagles’ pass rushers to tee off on Mahomes all game.

Mahomes showed up to the stadium Sunday wearing an Eagles shade of green. But it was the Eagles’ defense who had him feeling green.

EDIT: BREAKING NEWS!!!

FEMA CAUGHT SPENDING $59 MILLION ON LUXURY HOTELS, NOT DISASTER RELIEF!

Elon Musk says FEMA sent $59M last week to luxury NYC hotels to house illegal migrants: ‘Violated the law’

Elon Musk claimed early Monday that the Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA) sent a staggering $59 million “LAST WEEK to luxury hotels in New York City to house illegal migrants.”

The world’s richest man claimed in an early morning post on X that the funneled emergency funds were “just discovered” by his Department of Government Efficiency (DOGE) — even as President Trump called for a complete overhaul of FEMA that could even see it shuttered.



“Sending this money violated the law and is in gross insubordination to the President’s executive order,” Musk wrote.

“That money is meant for American disaster relief and instead is being spent on high-end hotels for illegals,” continued Musk, who leads the agency tasked with cutting back on government overspending.

“A clawback demand will be made today to recoup those funds.”

Last month, President Trump signed an executive order to create a council to review FEMA as he expressed concerns over there being “serious concerns of political bias” in the agency.

The 47th president called on the council to have its first meeting within 90 days — saying he expects a report of the findings on his desk within 180 days of the council’s first meeting.

Days earlier, Trump, 78, appeared alongside still-homeless survivors of Hurricane Helene four months after the storm where he raised the idea of overhauling FEMA altogether.

The POTUS slammed the performance of the Federal Emergency Management Agency, saying it was “not on the ball… and we’re going to turn it all around.”

The president then told a roundtable of federal and local officials that he will be “signing an executive order to begin the process of fundamentally reforming and overhauling FEMA — or maybe getting rid of FEMA. I think, frankly, that FEMA’s not good.”

Indeed, the president stayed true to his word.

He also accused the agency — which is responsible for bringing in emergency services, supplies and aid to disaster-struck areas — of bungling emergency relief efforts, adding that US states should be given federal handouts directly in the wake of disasters.

So an agency that had NO MONEY to give for disaster relief is suddenly discovered giving money THIS PAST WEEK for Luxury Hotels? Such hubris!
