Media Miss by the right: Trump’s Pentagon name change could cost billions
Trump’s plan to rename the Department of Defense to the “Department of War” could come with a massive price tag.
A new congressional report estimates the change could cost taxpayers up to $2 billion.
Just replacing physical signage, seals, and letterhead across military facilities would cost around $1 billion. Updating websites, systems, and digital assets would add a billion more.
While Trump signed an executive order calling for the change, Congress would still need to approve any official renaming.
Critics argue the rebranding is symbolic and unnecessary at a time when the Pentagon faces growing budget scrutiny.

Media Miss by the left: Joe Rogan suggests US headed toward civil war
Podcaster and Trump ally Joe Rogan warned this week that America could be inching toward civil war in the wake of political activist Charlie Kirk’s assassination.
He made the comments during his podcast Tuesday.
“Charlie Kirk gets shot and people are celebrating. Like, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa. You want people to die that you disagree with? Where are we right now on the scale of one to, to civil war? Where are we? Are we at seven? Because I thought we were five. I thought we were like four. Four or five. But after the Charlie Kirk thing, I’m like, oh, we might be like seven. This might be like step seven on, on the way to a bona fide civil war.”

Rogan’s comments come amid a rise in politically motivated violence and growing concern over social division.
