Why is this happening, when our enlistment quotas have met or exceeded minimum standards?

What damage is this already doing to our military?

How is helping Iran and America’s other enemies?

Massie is crowing that Hegseth will be gone before the end of the year. Why wasn’t Massie calling for the impeachment of Lloyd (Raytheon) Austin after his disappearing act back in 2024?

In your opinion, is this targeting of Hegseth having an impact on our armed-forces; and if so, how?

During the Iraq War; there were calls for Bush to fire Rumsfeld and for Rumsfeld to resign, which he eventually did (resign). How does this kind of political pressure affect the one in the hot seat?

Last Friday, you described the massive Pentagon bureaucracy; the Pentagon Swamp, if you will. Is that swamp behind the effort to get rid of Hegseth?

Dr. Robbins, how does this end?

Why did the Houston Mayor cave so quickly when those elected last Tuesday are not yet in power?

The Houston talked about beginning a healing process; reducing fear and anxiety (for illegals)? I wonder if the Texas farmers and ranchers (fear and anxiety) has diminished from four-years of open-borders?

Does Alexis Nungaray (Jocelyn’s mother) still have fear and anxiety; that two-illegals raped and murdered her daughter in Houston, back in June of 2024; by two Venezuelan illegals?

Sunday night on 60-Minutes, President Trump appeared to cave to those who have been working night and day to prevent mass-deportations. Didn’t the American people vote in 2024 to deport all illegals, regardless of their personal situation?

According to The Hill, a coalition of over 150 immigrant rights groups—including the ACLU and United We Dream—called on incoming congressional majorities to cut funding for ICE and Border Patrol and create pathways to legal status.

Isn’t funding for ICE and border enforcement locked in for two-years?

The groups are asking lawmakers to introduce legislation allowing for smoother pathways for undocumented immigrants to obtain permanent legal status and eventually citizenship, without adding tougher enforcement measures or additional surveillance.

“The harms inflicted on immigrant communities by this administration will echo for generations,” they wrote in the letter.

The battle for control of the U.S. Census:

U.S. Senators Gary Peters (D-MI), Ranking Member of the Homeland Security and Governmental Affairs Committee, and Andy Kim (D-NJ), Ranking Member of the Subcommittee on the Census, led a bipartisan group of 24 colleagues urging the U.S. Census Bureau to rescind a proposed rule that would exclude certain non-citizens from census counts and eliminate questions on race and ethnicity.

In their letter, the Senators warn that the exclusion of non-citizens violates the Constitution, which expressly says that the census must count the “whole number of persons in each state.” The Bureau has proposed two methods by which it would exclude non-citizens, both of which would cause undercounts and errors in the census counts.

How important is the census in the war over illegal immigration?

The Federal Reserve raised interest rates for the first time in three years in mid-September. But the Fed paused in late October. In its policy statement, the central bank acknowledged that "inflation remains elevated," but said "more information" will help it determine the right policy to get inflation back to its 2% goal and "deliver price stability. (Kiplingers)

Will October’s numbers push the Fed to raise interest rates again; and if so, will we then be headed for Recession?

Wells Fargo economists predicted:

We estimate the headline CPI rose 0.28% in October. Gasoline inflation slowed following September's sharp increase, while food inflation likely picked up as higher commodity and transportation costs gradually make their way into the grocery store. We expect the core CPI to have risen 0.21%. Some of September’s more pronounced goods price increases, including in apparel and toys, are unlikely to have been repeated in October. This should drive a cooling in core goods inflation from 0.25% in September to 0.11% in October, the latter being roughly in line with its average monthly pace this year. A softer core reading would be welcome after September's upside surprise, but it would do little to alter the broader picture of 2026 being a lost year for bringing core inflation back to 2%. We expect the report to reinforce the slow and uneven nature of the disinflationary process, underpinning our expectation for the FOMC to hike once more in December." - Wells Fargo economists

My friends, Rush warned us about this six-years ago.

Who is going to take up our fight, to preserve the Republic and protect us against the incoming Dem-Com Revolutionary Council? The answer is “Heritage Action.”

Doug, the Democrat Communist, Revolutionary Council is not sworn in yet; but they are already gunning for us. They have been planning for this for two-years; haven’t they?

I am of the opinion that we need to follow the Dem-Com blueprint to push back. That means organized, well planned activism. Heritage Action is setup so that we can target them, the way they target our elected representatives and our President. Tell us about the Activism Center and how it works?

Doug tell us about the Heritage Foundation Legal Action Center.

Some Democrats are promising to push for more clean energy to help tackle rising energy costs when they take control of Congress in January, though President Donald Trump says he will use his veto power aggressively.

With new majorities in the House and Senate after last week's midterms, Democrats can set an agenda boosting clean energy and addressing climate change. While those are traditionally core priorities of the party, climate was not a central topic in this election cycle.

Democrats can begin investigations and hold hearings into climate policy rollbacks and elimination of green energy grants by the Republican administration, potentially trying to undo some changes and restore renewable energy incentives.

Sen. Sheldon Whitehouse of Rhode Island, the top Democrat on the Senate Committee on Environment and Public Works, said Trump's clean energy attacks drove up prices for taxpayers. He said Democrats will "work every angle to lower consumers' energy costs, and we will demand accountability for the massive corruption wrought by Trump's fossil-fuel donors."

President Trump on Monday said he would not approve new wind turbines despite his support for a permitting reform bill that seeks to ease the passage of all forms of energy, including wind.

What can you tell us about these Haitian gangs?

How do you think this hostage rescue mission will go?

Why hasn’t the Dominican Republic taken action against these Haitian gangs. Don’t they threaten the DR as well?

Troy, you started your career working in Big Pharma, but you made a change. Why?

Three choices people face when they wake up feeling lousy:

1. Take Mom up on the soup. When your throat hurts, and breakfast sounds like too much work, a bowl of broth can be an easy way to get some fluid and a little food. And if Mom offers to drop it off, that’s one less thing you have to do when you feel sick.

2. Play “keep or skip” in the pharmacy aisle. You went in for tissues. Now you’re holding a box of zinc lozenges and wondering if you should grab the vitamin C packets, too. Before you head to the register, ask yourself what you came to solve. Are you trying to soothe the scratchy throat you woke up with, or looking for something to take regularly through flu season?

3. Know when “I’ll see how I feel tomorrow” is too long to wait. If you’re at higher risk for flu complications and develop symptoms, the CDC advises calling your health care provider promptly. A clinician can help you decide whether an antiviral makes sense.

Troy, what did your family reach for when you got sick as a kid? Do you still use it?

I already take a multivitamin. Before I reach for zinc or a vitamin C packet, what should I check?

What about Vitamin D3?

If I wanted to add something to my daily routine during flu season, what would you recommend?

What can a supplement reasonably do, and what would you tell someone who’s counting on one to keep them from catching the flu?

Who should call their doctor at the first sign of flu instead of waiting until tomorrow?

What about someone who gets a cold and gets secondary symptoms for those who have chronic respiratory conditions?

What about COVID?
