    (Task & Purpose) In the first hours of his second term, President Donald Trump vowed to send U.S. troops to the southern border; promised to reinstate service members who were separated for refusing to get vaccinated for COVID-19; and signed an executive order suspending a refugee program that allows Afghans to come to the United States.

  • Trump wants a faster security clearance process, too *
    (Defense One) Often security clearances are considered an overhead function barely gaining the mention or attention of senior leaders. But the spotlight was back on the security clearance process Monday when President Donald Trump issued two executive orders addressing security clearances – one rescinding the security clearance eligibility of the 50 individuals who signed the Hunter Biden laptop memo, which described the controversy as a “Russian information operation,” and another offering immediate interim eligibility to presidential appointees whose background investigations have not yet been completed.

    (Military.com) Russia and Iran like to tout themselves as America's largest and most determined enemies, but everyone in the international community knows few geopolitical beefs run deeper than the United States and North Korea. Technically, the two countries are still at war, despite a 70-plus-year-old armistice that North Korea has publicly revoked at least six times since 1994. Even today, with a potential thaw in tensions under President Donald Trump's second term, North Korea will likely continue to use the U.S. as a bogeyman in both domestic and foreign policy.
