  • PODCAST: Tune in for all the latest news and insider information on our new politics show – Welcome to MAGA land

The Trump administration ordered the former highest-ranking woman in the military to vacate her home within three hours following her departure over her backing of policies addressing diversity, equity and inclusion.

Almost immediately after he assumed office on January 20 - leaving her to discover this while she was waiting to take a photo with Trump at the Commander in Chief ball that night.

A friend of Fagan's described it as being petty and personal.

According to reports, Coast Guard authorities granted the four-star admiral a 60-day exemption to secure temporary living arrangements.

On Tuesday, officials from Homeland Security informed the acting commandant, Kevin Lundy, that he must ask her to leave because the president wishes for her to vacate the premises.

Lundy allegedly informed Fagan on Tuesday at 2pm that she had only three hours to leave.

You know what they've really done here?

After that, Fagan's team was informed by Sean Plankey's personal assistants at the Department of Homeland Security, a senior adviser and retired Coast Guard officer, to leave the house unlocked, so that it could be photographed.

But Fagan objected to DHS' efforts to take photographs.

'I do not give my consent for them to enter my home, regardless of whether I am present,' the admiral apparently stated to another Coast Guard official.

Lunday subsequently communicated that message to Plankey's team, pointing out that any attempt to enter the house would constitute trespassing, according to sources knowledgeable about the eviction proceedings.

Yes, Fagan did leave the home "with many maybe all of her personal items and household goods still there," a former US military official stated.

She reportedly then spent the night with friends.

The US Transportation Command is now overseeing the removal of all her personal belongings from the house. A Department of Homeland Security official stated that she was provided with an alternative place to reside.

The official was unable to confirm whether the directive originated directly from President Trump or if his name had been invoked without his approval.

The eviction order makes sense still, according to an unidentified official.

"She was let go with good reason two weeks ago, and she's still residing in those admiral quarters," he said.

In a message from the Department of Homeland Security announcing Fagan's termination, Acting Secretary Benjamine C. Huffman praised her 'long and illustrious career' while thanking 'her for her service.'

The department subsequently released a statement indicating that Fagan was removed from her position due to 'leadership deficiencies, operational failures, and inability to advance the strategic goals of the US Coast Guard,' including hindering efforts to secure the US border and prevent the entry of drugs into the country.

The statement also accused Fagan of failing to recruit and retain personnel, and claimed that they have had an "excessive focus" on DEI programs.

She had also previously stated: 'Diversity was definitely not there when I joined the service...'

They're just more robust, more capable of withstanding difficulties, possess better insights, and greater intellectual fortitude.

Fagan as Commandant of the U.S. Coast Guard in April 2022, as her supporters welcomed her as the first female admiral to lead one of the armed forces branches.

A major alteration is underway for the emblem of the Polish Air Force: a cutting-edge low-visibility checkerboard design aimed at allowing its F-35 aircraft to remain undetectable.

The concept of stealth technology, or camouflage for military aircraft, first emerged during the Cold War era across the Atlantic.

"Tactical camouflage in the United States emerged in the 1980s, starting with the renowned F-117 Nighthawk," Kacper Bakuła of the Armament Agency stated to Euronews.

Implementing a consistent color scheme for markings on aircraft was initially intended to complicate enemy recognition from the start. This approach was informed by the lessons of World War II and the characteristic aerial combat of that era, during which identifying enemy aircraft was relatively straightforward.

New legislative proposals submitted to Poland's parliament aim to utilize the existing Polish camouflage pattern in shades of grey for integration with the surface of fighter jets, under specific circumstances where security requirements or operational conditions justify such measures.

"In one sense, this is a requirement laid down by the manufacturer; on the other hand, it is a necessity of the modern battlefield," says Cezary Tomczyk, secretary of state in the Ministry of National Defence.

The camouflage pattern on fifth-generation fighter jets serves a dual purpose: it is designed to limit the visibility of the aircraft, particularly to hostile radar systems affiliated with non-NATO forces.

"A small distinguishing feature on the aircraft's hull can lead to visual detection and identification of its nationality," states Brigadier General Pilot Wojciech Pikuła, deputy commander of the Air Force.

It is essential that the markings on the aircraft be in camouflage colors matching those of the F-35, in order to effectively conceal its visibility.

The government's new plan was submitted to parliament on Wednesday.

North Korean forces have not participated in the Kursk region for weeks, sparking speculation about their possible retreat, based on South Korean intelligence reports.

North Korean leader Kim Jong Un dispatched a contingent of 12,000 soldiers to Russia late last year, but the significant losses incurred in just a few short months are reportedly weighing heavily on him.

While Kim Jong Un has expressed worries about the fate of his soldiers, it remains uncertain whether North Korean forces will return to the battlefield.

South Korea's intelligence service stated on Tuesday that no North Korean forces have been present on the battlefield since mid-January.

A potential factor in this situation could be the significant number of reported casualties, though further information on the matter is being tracked by the agency.

Kiev has reached a similar conclusion, however the possibility of North Korean troops returning to combat remains unclear.
