1 – The Army is BACK! Military releases new high-octane Trump-era ad… and it’s a huge split from woke Biden one
From the Daily Mail: The US Army released its latest recruitment advert to promote the no-nonsense approach of the Trump era – and the differences between the Biden-era adverts were stark.
In the latest video released this week, a tattooed Special Forces fitness trainer performed huge feats of strength in the gym, including deadlifting 500lbs raw.
The clip also showed the burly trooper lifting a heavy yoke over his shoulders, before he says to the camera: ‘Stronger people are harder to kill.’

Viewers quickly compared the latest advert to one pushed out by the military in May 2021, during the Biden administration. The ad, titled ‘Emma’, told the story of Army officer Emma Malonelord, who operates the Patriot Missile Defense Systems, showing her from her childhood being raised by two moms.
Below is the 2021 woke Army ad from the Biden administration:

3 – Defense Department Prepares Invitation to Bring Back Troops Separated for Refusing COVID Vaccine
In a press release on Friday, the Department of Defense wrote:
Over the course of 500 days, beginning in 2021, nearly 8,000 active duty and reserve service members were involuntarily separated from service for refusing to take the COVID-19 vaccine. Many others left voluntarily to avoid the vaccine mandate.
Now, the Defense Department plans to invite those service members back into uniform at the same rank they held when they separated.
President Donald J. Trump signed an executive order on Jan. 27, 2025, regarding reinstating service members discharged under the department’s COVID-19 vaccine mandate.
As part of the executive order, active duty and reserve service members who were discharged solely for refusing to receive the COVID-19 vaccine may request reinstatement to their former rank.
