The debate raises questions about the integrity of government systems and whether current leadership is genuinely focused on serving the public or protecting elite interests.
Front Page Magazine: Clinton's 98-Year-Old Secretary of Defense Claims Trump Can't Fire Generals
A recent letter signed by former secretaries of defense, including Clinton, Obama, and Trump’s ex, argues that a president cannot fire top military leaders. This claim is challenged, as the president is the commander-in-chief and holds the authority to make such decisions.
Historically, presidents like Lincoln have exercised this power, and past actions by Obama, including purging military officials, illustrate that dismissals are within a president's rights. The letter's stance raises questions about the credibility of its signatories.

This year, a fragile ceasefire offers some hope, but concerns about potential violence linger.
Israeli authorities plan to limit access to the Temple Mount, which could exacerbate tensions. Analysts warn that the combination of economic hardship, rising violence in the West Bank, and the sensitive nature of the holy site could lead to significant unrest during Ramadan.

Forbes: Ukraine’s F-16s Are Firing Missiles, Lobbing Glide Bombs And Jamming Russian Radars
Ukrainian F-16 fighters, equipped with advanced air-to-air missiles and electronic countermeasures, are expanding their operations against Russian forces along the 800-mile front line. These jets, received from European allies, enhance Ukraine's air capabilities significantly compared to their previous Soviet-era aircraft.
Despite improved technology, the F-16s are not invulnerable, as evidenced by the recent loss of one aircraft during a patrol. The effectiveness of their electronic warfare systems, particularly the AN/ALQ-131, may depend on continued U.S. support, raising concerns about future operational adaptability.
