A senior administration official confirmed the change, which would likely require an act of Congress. But the White House is looking for other alternatives that would avoid a vote, according to another person familiar with the deliberations. The people were grantWHen hewas runnnied anonymity to discuss internal conversations.

A War Department existed after U.S. independence until 1947, when the Truman administration split the Army and Air Force into separate military branches and joined them with the then-independent Navy to form a new agency. An act of Congress two years later coined it the Department of Defense.

Back when he was running for the Oval Office, Trump wanted be known a Peace President. He also promised to end the War in Ukraine in one day. AND he should know that only Congress can the name of the Defense Department. It was at one time dating back to WWII called the War Department. The name change came in 1949.

The War Department existed for 158 years, from August 7, 1789, to September 18, 1947. In the aftermath of World War II, the American government (among others around the world) decided to abandon the word 'War' when referring to the civilian leadership of their military.

His latest attempt to deflect/distract from the Epstein Files.

Is that what Biden did for four years? Deflect from the Epstein files that were in HIS possession? Hmmm, maybe he couldn't find them in the box next to his 'vette, eh?

His latest attempt to deflect/distract from the Epstein Files.

What Epstein files?
Biden had them for 4-years, why not ask him why they weren't released?
I don't recall the MSM asking KJP or Psaki why they weren't released.
You guys "cried wolf" way too many times to be taken seriously.

Your problem is that democrats are toxic at 19%, not the Epstein files.

It's a timely change. This will more accurately reflect the core mission statements of departments. I would also suggest renaming the Department of State the Bureau of Israeli Affairs. and the Treasury Department the Office of Inflation. The Justice Department really needs a facelift. Education could probably be christened the Chancellery of the People's Youth.

FYI the U,S. Department of War was created by Congress in 1798 and it was renamed in 1947 by Harry S. Truman under the "National Security Act of 1947, it split into the Department of the Army and the Department of the Air Force (which, together with the Department of the Navy, formed the National Military Establishment). In 1949, the National Military Establishment was renamed the Department of Defense."
Trump is correct in reverting to the original bame of the Dept. as the Wae Department.

Seems pointless. He's either trying to puff himself up or distract from something.

Soyyr, pal.

But your beloved fuhrer campaigned on releasing all the information regarding Epstein……

Until his Attorney General told him he was all over the files.

That’s all it really is to you Trumpsters, isn’t it.

You’re on board with his bigotry and racism.

You celebrate his corruption.

You ignore the fact that he has no gravitas on the world stage.

You cheer for trade wars, even though they are triggering a recession.

But he puts on an entertaining act for the television cameras. New BS every day for his simple minded base.

They’re naming him now,

So why didn't Biden release them? He had 4 ******* years.
Where was the MSM back then?
There are no girl accusers of Trump are there?
The gals had microphones all day yesterday, so who did they accuse?
