President Trump is not only their Commander in Chief.
He is their Champion.
God bless these fine young men and women who will serve in the United States Army with honour, led by a man who respects each and every one of them 🇺🇸
And all the Squids got was JD.
Beats “Sniffy” Biden.
VP JD is awesome! 🇺🇸
The Navy graduates thought so…
(Says the proud mother of a Navy vet who regretted that he had to serve under Obama, a traitorous piece of work who despised the military.)
Sudden memory….My son was in The Corps during the Obama years…those kids who had their air support cancelled while on a hill in A-stan and died….he went to boot camp with a few of them. My son was supposed to go with them but his duty assignment was changed at the last minute.
I have one of those video picture frames streaming them doing winter training in Japan…the one young man from FL is heard saying something about never having seen snow before as he struggled on a pair of skis, in the snow.
I’m certain that he…and you, sis, have deep emotions which will never leave either of you.
The single photograph which represents O’Biden’s disdain for all those young men and women who were unforgiveably abandoned in Afghaninstan will be the one of bodies being received while Biden looked at his watch. Among so many other pictures of the general unfitness of that perennial grifter and liar, that is the one which defined his ineffable moral unfitness for the office he stole.
Obama’s will always be his and Hillary’s calculated and deliberate sacrifice of an ambassador and the men who died fighting heroically, desperately expecting for backup which would never come…Benghazi.
The stench of dishonour over these two malignancies will follow them to their graves and beyond.
They won’t feel a thing. They have so much hubris and derangement they only feel admiration when they look in the mirror.
They will feel the heat of the hell they will burn in for eternity.
Not much satisfaction here and now.
Aye, COLiberty, and more than our mind can imagine.
“the stench of dishonor over these two malignancies will follow them to ther graves and beyond” Indeed it will. Impressive Writing!
Yes my son was Navy and my grandson is in Navy nuke school to become a submariner, I’m soooo thankful they’re in under 47 and JD! 🇺🇸
Congratulations on navy nuke school…that is a task. My ex then fiance was at Arco, Idaho…many years ago.
So well done!! 👍🏻🇺🇸
My brother was on the Asheville when it was brand new.
And my great-grandson as well!
Hand Salute to you and your son! Earning his dolphins is a lifetime achievement.
I love my father very much who served back in the 50s and died in 2016 and I had to get rid of the government certificate that had Osama’s name on it.
I can understand.
I have a picture of my then university age daughter who grabbed a photo of herself with GW Bush. It was so good of her, one of the best, that I bought a small frame and placed it on a coffee table.
The time came when, beautiful or not, I took it off.
I think it’s in a drawer somewhere…
Use White Out!!!! Thru the scums name! Yep
“We don’t play Notre Dame
“We don’t play Tulane
“We just play Holy Cross
“Cuz that’s the fearless Army way”
Sung by yours truly during Plebe Summer of 1977.
My long departed Army surgeon Captain Korean War vet would approve.
….father…who I disgracefully failed to name, though I am certain people figured it out.
I get emotional when I think that his service in front of the front lines in that benighted country changed him forever and had a disparate impact on our family. What he saw, what he attempted to put right…sometimes failing, and what he never spoke of after he returned.
War is hell.
Possibly the most tragic succint definition ever written.
I pray our military sons, daughter, sisters, brothers, fathers, and mothers will be spared from it.
And our grandchildren, Betsy — they are who I pray for, to be spared from all war.
And I do, COL My heart sank and my stomach seized up when the time came for our twin grandsons to register for Selective Service almost two years ago, the first of our nine.
I am unsure if girls have to register…I pray not.
But if so their precious sister’s turn will be next.
Women volunteering to join I have no problem with.
Forced conscription of the only ones of us to be able to bear the next generation is an abomination.
Why were you singing that?
I started singing it Plebe Summer 1978 after NAPS
tax2much denigrates navy personnel with a common slur, which is usually grounded in some form of jealousy.
Nothing wrong with being called a Squid, just as their is nothing wrong with being called a Grunt, it is what is is; we know what we are and what we can do, unlike most.
Salute, my friend 🇺🇸
HOOOOAH!
Hey look…a ground pounder just had to make some noise…very deplorable!
Who came up with the ‘line’….”go find 30 yards of shoreline”?
Old Navy family with a few ‘jarheads’ in it and one ‘bubblehead’…so here is another along with the joke of the round hat and square head…
…I went to high school with Thomas Roth Roffy of the NTSB (was not in his crowd though). Another dear friend of mine, was a merchant marine and in the Navy Reserves, along with later, being a Veep for Matson. All sailors have a special place in my heart. No matter what they are called…
I call them all “Patriots” 🇺🇸
We Build, We Fight
It’s “cannon fodder” that gets you.
Nope! I’m sure there is some jealousy, but I have a couple friends from each branch of the service that laugh and embrace the rivalry…If I had a choice of President Trump or Vice President Vance at my graduation, it’s a no-brainer! President Donald John Trump!!! Vice President Vance will have YUGE shoes to fill if he becomes the next president of this great country!
It’s a term of endearment!
To me, squid is a term of endearment as is bubblehead. I am proud to be both
Ah…’bubblehead’….a long forgotten memory, too. (Pulski and Key).
It’s real interesting that (if my hunch is correct) the comments in criticizing my post seem to come from former military personnel where we all know of the rivalry among the different branches, suggesting nothing has changed. Who wants to throw the first beer bottle?
.
It’s only a make-believe rivalry during the Army-Navy game. I can say this because all branches (except Coast Guard) are represented in my famiy. Everyone otherwise understands that Army is best, hahahaha.
.
But from within Army ranks, there were ” legs ” and then there were……” All the way, Sir “!
It’s fun and good- spirited, of course per your wry comment. Was in Honolulu recently (as you might say, pretty much a Navy town) proudly wearing my West Point t-shirt (my son is now a “Cow” – IYKYK) when behind me and my wife, a random passer-by jogging at the beach said quietly “Go Navy, beat Army!” without a turn, or pause, passing us. Since they had literally just done that last December, all we could really do was salute and laugh.
.
😀
.
No change. Go Army, Beat Navy!
That’s right. Get you some Sons of Slum and Gravy or tip a pint at Benny Havens.
Go Navy! Beat Army!
Not so. Kindly rethink. I,m a total wreck because of fun of my family name being made fun of during school years.(not)
Lots and lots of problems today because of tender snowflakes.
At least once a year, I am asked if I am related to the guy who dropped the bomb…
I don’t know but I’ve been told Navy wings are made of gold…
Hey now!!
There is a rotation. Trump will do all four as will Vance. Noem did the Coast Guard, I’m not sure who is doing the fourth.
Hegseth I hope.
Sean Duffy as Transportation is doing Merchant Marine Academy.
What’s wrong with that? He was a Marine. and is the Vice-President.
Well, PT DID go to the NYMA nearby for six years.
Very pretty place in our area.
Amazing endurance our president has.
He’s unreal. Truly one of a kind.
His salute was military perfect.
Just one correction: it’s not Army Academy, it’s Military Academy.
At football games do they yell,
“Go Military!”
or
“Go Army!”
Just saying.
Here in this house, its “Go Navy”.
This one as well, dear sister!
Thank you…I was wondering as there seemed to be quite a few Army fans here!

We must pray for them as sooner or later, they will no doubt be affiliated with the Pentagon. Big time decision makers.
Real Am Voice carried the Ceremony live and for the first time in it’s entirety. It was a wonderful ceremony and Trump nailed it. I am so glad we have a Commander in Chief who is fully behind all of our troops.
I’ll watch it next year too.
My Army 💜 vet husband who waits for me in a Military 🪖 Cemetery, approves this message. God Bless America 🇺🇸 🙏
So very sorry for your loss….God bless both of you, DA.

( This is the Airborne statement of honor & dedication given with the salute. )
I was aware that this graduating class were DEI cadets. They were picked by BIDEN admin under the values of LEFTIST politics.
I am not knocking them at all, it is not the cadets fault. Thank GOD that President Trump is able to Address you cadets. Hopefully it will beat the crap out the Biden values.
In 4 years TRUMP fighters will be graduating and let us just be grateful for that.
Trump admin is making/creating WARRIORS for MAKING AMERICA GREAT AGAIN!
Go Trump Go!
I noticed that by the smattering of clapping. …instead of voluminous clapping.
However, I was thankful that President Trump did his part to start and get their heads screwed on straight.
yup! You saw it too, and other Leftist Behaviour.
Trump generally gets as you say “voluminous clapping” and it seemed muted to me too. Other signs too, … hopefully the starting class of 2025 will be as full-voiced as patriots are at Football games that TRUMP visits! 🙂
p.s. In a way, these DEI students started when Rainbow Colored General Milly was bowing to Leftist agenda and gave China a promise to tell China generals what Trump war plans were, ahead of time. 🙂
Looking forward, I wonder, just wonder, who will deliver the key note address for the Class of 2028 and 2029?
Graduates/ cadets don’t clap during the speech. Just the audience is clapping and they are up in the stands in Miche.
.
(Yes a lot of DEI. But these would have been applying and getting accepted on rolling admissions during the last year of Trump’s first term.)
Love the man, realize that he’s extremely busy, tired, etc.And I guess he thought he could just wing it with a few notes about a handful of grads, and do the rest like he does for rallies and informal speeches. But this was not among his finest of performances. I’ll stop here.
.
Trump radiates very Positive Energy and LOVE when he speaks. And if the crowd responds in kind , reflecting love back at Trump … that is when the TRUMP magic happens. When Trump is before Leftist crowds, … it is not the same experience … if you are used to Trump Rallies you sense the difference. We all do.
.
This was a formal ceremony in which Cadets were not allowed to respond in a rally manner, and families in the back in bleachers were there about the kids.
.
valid point!
What did you think and feel about Trump’s speech?
The cadet’s Congressional nomination comes from democrats and republicans so, it’s fairly evenly divided just because of the makeup of congress- is just a guess- if they weren’t following the prescribed method- which is entirely possible.
That has always been true, but it was massively conservative prior to Zero’s DEI idiocy.
I assume, under current leadership, unless attitudes and beliefs change, they won’t last long. The smart ones will.
Amazing! Where does this man get his energy? President Trump, please go hit a few golf balls at one of your resorts while you’re at it. There is not enough R&R for this great President!
I wonder why President Trump didn’t shake hands as he did before years ago?
Risk versus Threat.
How beautiful to witness a President who loves his country, and who in his life has embodied the qualities of steadfastness through adversity, toughness, and hope that he in turn urges on the cadets. He not only talks the talk, but the President has walked the walk. And that we have such a president as the nation approaches its 250th anniversary is a gift from God.
J
I think it was an okay speech?
But the rant about the trophy wives was absolutely bizarre. And I have questions now.
Curious if others start talking about that, too.
Is that you, Susan Rice?
All of our elected officials – ESPECIALLY the POTUS – should be scrutinized.
If you cannot admit that was strange behavior, then I don’t know what to tell you.
RAV ran the full graduation ceremony. I’d never seen it before. While President Trump gave a boss speech it was fun to watch the production.
As the Proud Grandpa of a Paratrooper, I have to say I’m sleeping a lot better lately! Thank You PRESIDENT Donald J Trump!
” All the Way! ” ( Given with a salute ) From an old school sky soldier.
Obama and Biden corrupted WP or at least tried to .
The Fall of West Point
Marxism – communism – has dug in at West Point.
https://www.independentsentinel.com/the-fall-of-west-point/
Thank you, Sundance for posting this for us. May God bless and keep the West Point class of 2025 always.
West Point Trades Real Reform For Illusory Paper Compliance–The Federalist:
If the academy cannot produce officers loyal to the Constitution, its leadership is not just failing, it is compromising national security.
“In a recent New York Times op-ed, soon-to-be former West Point professor Graham Parsons blames the Trump administration for West Point’s failure to maintain their status as an apolitical, elite institution of the military profession. The claim is not just disingenuous — it is a deflection.
The op-ed accuses West Point of failing to resist the president’s agenda to rid the military of ideological perversion, as if insubordination is a virtue.
This framing exposes the heart of the problem: West Point’s leadership opposes the president’s vision, either out of ideology or incompetence.
It is first important to understand some of the changes President Trump and Secretary Hegseth made to West Point. First, admissions officers are no longer allowed to maintain racial profiles or goals for admissions classes. Long a policy since the 1960s, West Point sought to categorize applicants and cadets based on the color of their skin. Under the Trump administration, that is no longer possible.
Furthermore, West Point is no longer able to be a venue for anti-American ideology like Diversity Equity and Inclusion (DEI) and Critical Race Theory (CRT). In Graham Parsons’ telling, West Point now suffers from a supposed infringement on its academic freedom. As a tenured professor, he opines as much without any consideration for the distinct nature of West Point as an institution, one not bound by the typical dictates of civilian educational institutions. It would seem that West Point as an institution has failed to strike this balance in implementing President Trump’s executive orders, too.
There are only two explanations for West Point’s failure. The first is ideological subversion — malicious compliance designed to subvert the president’s orders. Consider Lieutenant General Steven Gilland, the superintendent of West Point, testified before the House Armed Services Committee in July 2023. He called DEI initiatives “operational imperatives” and insisted that racial quotas create “a stronger and more adaptable force.” These are not the words of someone reluctantly complying with DEI; they are the words of an advocate.
Yet this same man now presides over an institution tasked with dismantling the very project he praised. This is not just inconsistency — it is sabotage.
The second explanation is simpler but equally disqualifying: incompetence. Perhaps Gilland and Brigadier General Shane Reeves, West Point’s dean, are so deeply entrenched in the bureaucracy that they cannot conceive of anything outside of its conventions. In this scenario, their compliance with DEI was not ideological, it was reflexive.
Their attempts to implement the president’s orders have failed not because the orders are unclear, but because they are institutionally incapable of executing them. They know how to pass along directives, but not how to drive cultural change. Rather than use the president’s orders to clean house and restore West Point’s purpose, they have gutted the academy’s academic integrity while leaving ideological rot untouched. They have traded serious reform for paper compliance. The result is a worse institution than when they began.
Under either explanation, they must go. Malicious compliance or institutional incompetence — both are disqualifying. West Point deserves leadership that understands the mission and carries it out with conviction. The academy exists to produce warfighters loyal to the Constitution, not ideologues trained to deconstruct it.” …….
“…The command to restore American values and patriotism at West Point is clear. Gilland and Reeves refused to carry it out. In any other command environment, failure to execute results in relief of command. West Point is not exempt from this standard. …
The United States Military Academy now mirrors the Ivy League — not in quality, but in ideological conformity. Ambiguity has no place here. If the academy cannot produce officers loyal to the Constitution, its leadership is not just failing, it is compromising national security. There is no mission more critical than preparing America’s warfighters. Those who fail to execute that mission cannot remain in command.” …….
Fury as top military schools are caught in secret underground plots to usurp Trump’s orders
Trump has cracked down on what made up the curriculum at the school, with student and staffs now using underground means to keep their discussions away from prying eyes.
https://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-14746907/naval-academy-Trump-order-underground.html
Donald Trump is a very wise man.
All well and good, but this class was brought up and mind melded under the “woke”, DEI mantra for 4 years. We will not see a truly loyal, trustworthy Army Corps until DJT is out of office.
That’s a bold, broad statement there.
I see DEI and woke thrown around here often. I dunno – it sounds like a dog whistle for something else to me.
WOW!

God bless these Cadets, our President, and the memory of all those who passed away defending us.
Live to be worthy of all their sacrifices.
