President Trump signed an Executive Order Friday officially changing name of the Department of Defense back to the Department of War.

The War Department previously existed for over a century and a half, from 1789 to 1947—and now thanks to Trump it’s back.

In the Oval Office, White House Staff Secretary Will Scharf explained the significance of the change, noting “From 1789 until 1947, our nation won some of its greatest military victories under the direction of a Secretary of War, operating within a Department of War.”

“Today, with this executive order, you will authorize the current Secretary of Defense, in the current Department of Defense, to once again embrace this great lineage,” Scharf added.

In signing the order, Trump remarked “I think that’s a big one!”

Workers were later seen removing “Defense” lettering to be replaced with “War”:

Secretary of Defense, (Now War) Pete Hegseth commented that the name change is about restoring a “warrior” mentality.

Hegseth added that it concerns “Restoring victory and clarity as an end state,” and “Restoring intentionality to the use of force.”

“So at your direction, Mr. President, the War Department will fight decisively, not endless conflicts,” Hegseth urged, adding “We’re going to go on offense not just on defense. Maximum lethality. Not tepid legality.”

“Violent effect, not politically correct. We’re going to raise up warriors, not just defenders,” Hegseth further remarked.

“America first, peace through strength, brought to you by the War Department… We’re back,” he concluded.

The Commander-in-Chief has put US forces deployed there on a war footing, it https://www.bbc.com/news/articles/cr70511v774o

:

When asked by reporters in the Oval Office on Friday what would happen if Venezuelan jets flew over US vessels again, Trump said Venezuela would be in "trouble".

Trump told his general, standing beside him, that he could do anything he wanted if the situation escalated.

Venezuelan President Nicolás Maduro has responded by rejecting the state-linked narcotrafficking allegations, and explained that current problems and differences between the nations do not justify a "military conflict".

Maduro continued, "Venezuela has always been willing to talk, to engage in dialogue, but we demand respect."

Watch: Trump issues his new warning:

Shooting down a Venezuelan jet would constitute an act of war, but Trump would likely not immediately go beyond that - unless there was further retaliation from Caracas. However, there remains the likely possibility that Trump could be pursuing a regime change policy, in continuation of some statements from his first term. On this, CNN https://www.cnn.com/2025/09/05/politics/trump-weighs-strikes-targeting-cartels-inside-venezuela

:

Asked by a reporter on Friday if he would like to see regime change in Venezuela, Trump said, "We’re not talking about that."

He went to say, "But we are talking about the fact that [Venezuela] had an election, which was a very strange election, to put it mildly."

CNN further claims, "President Donald Trump is weighing a multitude of options for carrying out military strikes against drug cartels operating in Venezuela, including potentially hitting targets inside the country as part of a broader strategy aimed at weakening leader Nicolas Maduro, according to multiple sources briefed on the administration’s plans."

Like the other many conflicts and unchecked adventurism in foreign lands, Congress appears to be missing in action, with https://www.zerohedge.com/geopolitical/lone-senate-voice-criticizes-trumps-bombing-boat-near-venezuela

El seleccionado luso había logrado tomar rápida ventaja en el marcador con un tanto de Joao Félix a los 10 minutos y Cristiano se encargó de aumentar esa diferencia tras recibir la asistencia de Pedro Neto que le permitió ingresar sin marca al área chica para nada más tener que empujar. El equipo que conduce Roberto Martínez se iría al descanso con un gol más, marcado por Joao Cancelo a los 32′.

¿Cómo está la carrera rumbo a los 1.000 goles?

Con los dos tantos que lleva anotados en el duelo de Eliminatorias entre Armenia y Portugal, Cristiano Ronaldo llegó a los 942 goles oficiales a lo largo de su carrera, a solo 58 de alcanzar la histórica marca de 1.000. La diferencia sigue siendo amplia sobre Lionel Messi, quien con su doblete ante Venezuela alcanzó los 879 goles oficiales, a 63 de su eterno rival futbolístico y a 121 de la marca histórica.

A shocking new video obtained by local media outlet https://www.wbtv.com/2025/08/28/man-stabs-woman-throat-charlotte-light-rail-minutes-after-she-sits-down-records-say/

shows the moments before 23-year-old Iryna Zarutska was randomly stabbed on Charlotte's public transportation light rail.

According to an affidavit obtained by WBTV on Aug. 28, Zarutska, a Ukrainian who fled the war-torn country, was stabbed in the neck on the Lynx Blue Line train at the East/West Boulevard station along Camden Road in the South End. She was pronounced dead from knife wounds at the scene.

The murderer, who was later arrested and held without bond, was career criminal Decarlos Brown Jr., a 34-year-old diagnosed with schizophrenia.

The video is absolutely disturbing.

North Carolina House Majority Leader Brenden Jones, a Republican representing Columbus and Robeson counties, responded on X, criticizing the Democrats' failed woke agenda for allowing violent criminals to roam the city streets...

"The tragedy of Iryna Zarutska's death in Charlotte is the result of decades of Democrat DAs and Sheriffs putting their woke agendas above public safety," Rep. Jones said, adding, "Violent criminals commit crimes with impunity, while families live in fear."

Zarutska's death raises alarm over the effectiveness of criminal justice reforms and highlights the Democratic Party's massive failures that have allowed violent criminals to walk the streets, creating a national public safety threat.

If it's defund the police, no cash bail, woke judges, and continue down the list of failures that have sparked out-of-control violent crime across major cities nationwide, it's time the American people hold Democrats accountable for their deadly progressive experiments.

President Trump's move to restore law and order nationwide has been a countermeasure to clean up this epic mess left behind by the failures of progressive policies. It's time to demand accountability.

The "https://www.zerohedge.com/political/maryland-father-or-ms-13-migrant-gangster-which-it-msm

" (well, in the eyes of leftist corporate media), otherwise known as alleged MS-13 illegal alien gangster Kilmar Abrego Garcia, was notified by the Department of Homeland Security about deportation plans to a tiny African country.

In an email to the alleged MS-13 illegal alien gangster, published on X by Fox News' Bill Melugin, an Immigration and Customs Enforcement official informed the illegal that, given his concerns about being prosecuted and or even tortured in nearly two dozen countries, Eswatini is now considered the best fit.

The email added, "Nonetheless, we hereby notify you that your new country of removal is Eswatini, Africa."

Homeland Security commented on X, "Homie is afraid of the entire western hemisphere."

Last month, leftist activist District Judge Paula Xinis, overseeing the illegal's case, ruled that the El Salvador native cannot be deported until early October. This comes as the illegal has been fighting for https://www.zerohedge.com/political/judge-says-kilmar-abrego-garcia-cannot-be-deported-until-october

.

The Trump administration recently offered the El Salvador native the option of deportation to Costa Rica in exchange for a guilty plea. However, his lawyers rejected the offer. He has been accused of human trafficking by the federal government.

New data obtained by https://www.newsweek.com/ice-data-immigrants-self-deportation-trump-administration-2124106

of ICE data via a Freedom of Information Act (FOIA) request showed that the Trump administration is on track to deport 276,207 illegals annually, or about 1.1 million over four years.
