DISMUKES/US NAVY/AFP via Getty Images) Donald Trump is escalating his MAGA takeover of the United States military. One of the great strengths of American democracy is that the country’s military is nonpartisan, a trait that ensures officers and service members alike obey the Constitution and serve civilian authority. The president rejects this foundational principle. In his mind, America’s military belongs to him, a view taken right out of the authoritarian playbook. After a spate of firings due to infighting ranging from building Navy ships to Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth’s apparent refusal to promote officers of color and women, along with the purging of the Pentagon’s so-called diversity hires, Trump’s politicization of the armed forces now includes the takeover of Stars and Stripes, the military’s congressionally-authorized independent newspaper. First published 160 years ago during the Civil War, it has been in continuous publication since World War II, with its editorial independence guaranteed by Congress. The act is a preview and warning of far worse things to

Iran blockade ‘going global’ is a warning signal to China and Russia
NEWYou can now listen to Fox News articles! On Tuesday, U.S. Marines from the USS Tripoli once again fast-roped from their MH-60 Seahawk helicopters onto the deck of a suspicious container ship named Blue Star III heading for Iran. That makes a total of 39 vessels turned back, boarded or seized since April 13."The blockade has been unbelievably effective," President Donald Trump said on Sunday. Economic pressure is the main point of the blockade, but it has military impact far beyond the Strait of Hormuz."We seized their sanctioned ships, and we will seize more," U.S. Secretary of War Pete Hegseth briefed at the Pentagon on Friday, April 24. "Our blockade is growing and going global," Hegseth added."Going global" is sending shockwaves through China. China imports at least 70% of its oil. Of that, 90% moves by sea. Iran alone supplied 14% of China’s imports last year, with Russia adding another 18%.
