Kind of show his intent, though I can't imagine who he wants to go fight wars against.

Any ideas, anyone?

With the caliber of weapons China displayed during the 80 years celebration of WWII this past monday, bro; a serious nation need to think really fast. The world is on the brink.

President Donald Trump will sign an executive order Friday to alter the name of the Department of Defense to the Department of War, reverting to the agency’s former namesake, Fox News Digital has learned.

Both Trump and Secretary of Defense Pete Hegseth have recently indicated they want to change the name of the agency. It is one of several initiatives the Trump administration has spearheaded as part of its "warrior ethos" campaign within the Pentagon.

A White House official confirmed to Fox News Digital Thursday that Trump would roll out the name change Friday. The executive order calls for using the Department of War as a secondary title for the Department of Defense, along with phrases like "secretary of war" for Hegseth, according to a White House fact sheet.

The order also instructs Hegseth to propose both legislative and executive actions to make the name permanently U.S. Department of War.

Likewise, implementing the order will require modifications to public-facing websites and office signage at the Pentagon, including renaming the public affairs briefing room the "Pentagon War Annex," according to a White House official. Other longer-term projects also are in the works, the official said.

Trump signaled in recent days the change was imminent.

"Everybody likes that we had an unbelievable history of victory when it was Department of War," Trump told reporters Aug. 25. "Then we changed it to Department of Defense

Hegseth, who Trump already has referred to on occasion as the "secretary of war," also expressed similar sentiments and said the change would reflect a broader, cultural shift within the Pentagon.

"We won WWI, and we won WWII, not with the Department of Defense, but with a War Department, with the Department of War," Hegseth said in an interview Wednesday with "Fox & Friends." "As the president has said, we're not just defense, we're offense.

"We've reestablished at the Department the warrior ethos. We want warriors, folks that understand how to exact lethality on the enemy," he said. "We don't want endless contingencies and just playing defense. We think words and names and titles matter. So, we're working with the White House and the president on it. Stand by."

The U.S. employed the Department of War title for its military agency until 1949, when it was renamed the Department of Defense in accordance with a series of massive reforms included in the National Security Act of 1947.

It’s unclear if Congress, which has the authority to establish federal executive departments, will need to step in to issue final approval on the move. However, Trump previously has voiced confidence that he doesn't need approval from lawmakers and that they will get on board if necessary.

"We're just going to do it," Trump told reporters Aug. 25. "I'm sure Congress will go along if we need that. I don't think we even need that."

The executive order changing the name of the Department of Defense will be the 200th order Trump has signed in his second term.

In one of her interviews, she said she doesn't understand how tax works. I shock

If you were familiar with UK last Administration, you'll know how disturbing this woman was

@realDonaldTrump

The big question to be answered is whether or not President Xi of China will mention the massive amount of support and "blood" that The United States of America gave to China in order to help it to secure its FREEDOM from a very unfriendly foreign invader. Many Americans died in China's quest for Victory and Glory. I hope that they are rightfully Honored and Remembered for their Bravery and Sacrifice! May President Xi and the wonderful people of China have a great and lasting day of celebration. Please give my warmest regards to Vladimir Putin, and Kim Jong Un, as you conspire against The United States of America. PRESIDENT DONALD J.

TRUMP

@realDonald Trump

Earlier this morning, on my Orders, U.S. Military Forces conducted a kinetic strike against positively identified Tren de Aragua Narcoterrorists in the SOUTHCOM area of responsibility. TDA is a designated Foreign Terrorist Organization, operating under the control of Nicolas Maduro, responsible for mass murder, drug trafficking, sex trafficking, and acts of violence and terror across the United States and Western Hemisphere. The strike occurred while the terrorists were at sea in International waters transporting illegal narcotics, heading to the United States. The strike resulted in 11 terrorists killed in action. No U.S. Forces were harmed in this strike. Please let this serve as notice to anybody even thinking about bringing drugs into the United States of America. BEWARE! Thank you for your attention to this matter!!!!!!!!!!!

What's is responsible for the mass deletion of comments here on Nairaland, even the most noble and well articulated ones got deleted too.

I created a thread yesterday, many commented, their post were still up for more than five hours then over a hundred were deleted.

What's going on??

As a burial ritual in a prestigious African country, family members are given the right on how suitable they'll prefer their loved one to transition.

This family chooses to surprise the world..

Genuine Question

Is APC (and their minions) afraid of Jonathans comeback?

It's surprised to know he was in power for a few months. Lumumba remains a hero in African struggle.

An Akwa Ibom boy who was neglected by parents, label a witch and left on the street to die, graduate primary school.

Society run along with the stereotype, abondon him. He was save by a Danish social worker who takes care of him to this day

Thank you Tottenham

Love Spurs to the moon

This is Premier League!!!!

Morenikeji090:
So now your believe should be on continue killing of Gazanians children’s.??.

Far from it...

Israel has a demand. Let go of the remaining hostages

Hamas, till date, don't make clear of what they're fighting for.

Morenikeji090:
Humanity over religion….. humanity over religion…. Humanity is greater than religion…. Religion segregate but humanity don’t segregate.

Humanity also includes having compassion towards one another..

Did Hamas had compassion over the people they killed on oct 7.

Have you watched those gory scenes of Hamas invasion of Israel?

Commentor:
2022, there were more than 160,000 large truck crashes nationwide, resulting in more than 5,100 deaths and 73,000 injuries

Texas Takes the Lead

Go check the records, most of those truckers are foreigners.

Commentor:
He must be the only driver in all of US that caused reckless death.

Why do you guys always buy into the propaganda of racists?

This is not about racism or propaganda, the Indian driver clearly violated traffic rule by turning on a point clearly marked not turning ( a visibly cancel U on the sign board).

Go watch the dashcam, you'll see the moment the car ramp under and how nonchalant he was.

California issued him the license. Trump is trying to get truckers who can read English or at least native language so American life's can be save.

Besides the OP reporting is a sensational headline from a left wing media

Softmirror:
Abi VeryDarkMan don carry him busy body enter America? 😁

By US standard not even a single truck driver in NIGERIA can qualify for just the trial phase of trucking.

Go to Apapa you'll marvel at the recklessness of an average Nigerian trucker, they're alcoholics with worn out trailers

ruggedtimi:
I saw a video showing the Governor of Florida escorting an immigrant truck driver off a private jet, after the driver was arrested for causing the deaths of three people with his truck

That Indian driver is heartless. He made a U turn on a very place that's reserved for emergency and official use only and there's a clear road sign that cancel U on it board, he ignored the sign make a U turn with a forty foot trailer which eventually lead to the mini van ramping under it causing the death of three. On the dashcam video he was seen behaving as if nothing happened.

He got his truck license from California (he also lives there) but the accident happened in Florida.

California loves aliens, he might not be prosecuted to the full weight of the law, that's why the lieutenant governor of Florida applied for extradition and he was moved yesterday from Cali to Florida.

He also failed road test scoring only 2 out of 12, he entered the US illegally in 2018.

How can you drive such payload in the US without even understanding their road signs.

The most gruesome is the girl who invited his date to the cemetery..... others are just normal crime we read about in the news.

Flawed reporting..

What was the exact number tested during this period?

Putin: ‘I can confirm’ Ukraine war would have never started if Trump was president

Putin spoke first at the press conference with Trump in Alaska and said the meeting between Russia and the United States was long overdue. As the war in Ukraine has raged on, Trump has consistently maintained that the conflict would have never started if he were President. "I can confirm that," Putin said.

The Pope should leave what belongs to Gaza for Gazans as the Bible said.

Hamas request is being met graciously by Israel

How does it work..

Is it the evaporated "carbon dioxide" from the water that power the fire??

Mariangeles:
So, what are they trying to say, that only one of the conjoined twins is married to the man?
What about the intimacy part?
Or don't they have sex?
These people and confusion.

They have separate brain, obviously they wouldn't love the same person

Feeding the bodies to pig??

The wickedness in mans' heart is unfathomable

She's beautiful..

Seems there are more beautiful women in basketball than there are in football

Kobojunkie:
It is alien yet many of the rich in the same Africa are known to leave legacies for their children and grandchildren?

2. And this reality has yet to result in the black man cutting his coat according to his size -- have less children or even forego entirely? I mean why so many excuses for why the black man should not be expected to use his head? 😄🥱🥱

Of course kobo many of the super wealthy do leave inheritance to their offspring, but the sad reality is a huge percentage of parent with little means do abandoned their pursuit to give their wards a better future, hence the hope for a reward...

A black man not having kids would be a great disservice to planet earth.
