Compliant Technologies Built a Glove That Stops a Fight Without a Single Bullet called G.L.O.V.E.

Tom Homan Just Laid the Leather on Critics of the New Gear He Got for ICE

Assaults on ICE agents have spiked more than 1,300 percent since Trump took office. Now the agency wants to arm agents with something besides a firearm.

The tool Homan just defended is already dividing Washington before agents even get it. DHS is planning to spend up to $20 million on a device called G.L.O.V.E., short for Generated Low Output Voltage Emitter. A Kentucky company called Compliant Technologies LLC builds it.

The glove looks normal until an agent activates it, then a single touch delivers a jolt strong enough to stop a combative suspect cold. No projectiles, no chase, no split second decision about pulling a trigger.

The manufacturer's own guidance keeps agents from using it on senior citizens, kids, pregnant women, or anyone with a serious disability.

ICE says agents will have to renew their certification every two years and are expected to try standard de-escalation tactics before ever reaching for the glove. DHS could start handing the gloves out as early as March 2027.

Hegseth and Mark Kelly spar over remarks

Hegseth Slams Democrat Sen. Mark Kelly Over Remarks on Classified Briefing Amid Growing War Concerns

Secretary of War Pete Hegseth on Sunday accused Sen. Mark Kelly (D-AZ) of improperly discussing sensitive information from a classified Pentagon briefing during a national television appearance, raising questions about whether the Arizona lawmaker crossed a legal line.

In a sharply worded post on X, Hegseth did not hold back. Referring to Kelly’s military background, he wrote, “‘Captain’ Mark Kelly strikes again,” before accusing the senator of “babbling on TV (falsely & dumbly)” about a classified briefing he had received. Hegseth went further, suggesting the matter could carry legal implications.

“Did he violate his oath…again?” Hegseth asked, adding that the Department of War’s legal counsel would review the situation.

The controversy stems from an interview Kelly gave earlier Sunday on Face the Nation with moderator Margaret Brennan. According to Brennan, Kelly referenced a classified Pentagon briefing related to the ongoing Iran war, specifically discussing its impact on U.S. weapons stockpiles.

She highlighted his remark that it was “shocking how deep we have gone into these magazines,” suggesting a significant drawdown of munitions.

The American people are less safe,” he said during the interview, arguing that depleted munitions could leave the United States vulnerable in other potential conflicts, including in the Western Pacific or elsewhere.

Hegseth’s response underscores a different concern—whether public discussion of such matters, especially if tied to classified briefings, risks exposing sensitive information. His call for a legal review signals that the administration is taking the issue seriously.

Arms offer to Saudi Arabia

Trump poised to offer Saudi Arabia over $100 billion arms package, sources say

  • Trump to announce arms package in visit to Saudi Arabia in May
  • Lockheed Martin, RTX, Boeing, Northrop Grumman, General Atomics involved in arms deal
  • Congress must review major international weapons deals before finalization
WASHINGTON/RIYADH, April 24 (Reuters) - The United States is poised to offer Saudi Arabia an arms package worth well over $100 billion, six sources with direct knowledge of the issue told Reuters, saying the proposal was being lined up for announcement during U.S. President Donald Trump's visit to the kingdom in May.

The offered package comes after the administration of former President Joe Biden unsuccessfully tried to finalize a defense pact with Riyadh as part of a broad deal that envisioned Saudi Arabia normalizing ties with Israel.

Under U.S. law, major international weapons deals must be reviewed by members of Congress before they are finalized.

Biden supporting Hamas

Biden's hold on Israel weapons shipment stuns retired US general

'This is a turning point' US adversaries view move as 'walking away from an ally,' Gen. Keane says

The Biden administration's decision to withhold weapons from Israel (our ally and ONLY democracy in the Mid-East) if the Rafah invasion moves forward is sending a dangerous message to American adversaries.

Gen. Jack Keane (Ret.) questioned whether the president considered the potential consequences. On "Fox & Friends" Friday, the Fox News senior strategic analyst argued Biden is "walking away from Israel," and called Biden's decision "stunning."

Weapons deal to Israel

Biden 'considering more than $1billion in new weapons deals for Israel

including tank ammo, military vehicles and mortar rounds' as Middle East tensions soar

The deal includes tank ammunition, worth $700 million, military vehicles worth $500 million, and mortar rounds worth $100 million, bringing the total to $1.3 billion

The Biden administration is weighing the introduction of a new weapons deal that would see more than $1 billion worth of arms being sold to Israel, according to a new report.

The Wall Street Journal's report was published just hours after the Jewish state retaliated against Iran's recent drone attack with a series of overnight strikes.

The new deal is in addition to an aid deal that includes $26 billion for Israel currently being debated by Congress, The Wall Street Journal reports.

Corruption and Mismanagement within Ukraine's Defense Dept

Ukraine Says U.S. Money Not Going to Ukraine, ‘Benefiting American Interests’

This statement was made in response to an inquiry by Breitbart News regarding whether any American tax dollars had been directed specifically to Uman, a city in Ukraine where a condo is being built on a Jewish mass grave in violation of international law and a bilateral agreement with the US.

Despite three letters from members of Congress demanding protection for the cemetery, the city has proceeded with construction.

The spokesperson explained that, instead, a “significant portion” of the billions of dollars to Ukraine is “utilized in the United States for the construction of new weapons or to replenish those dispatched to Kyiv from U.S. reserves,” adding that “an analysis” found that “nearly 90 percent” of aid granted by Congress “is benefiting American interests.”

According to a report by the Associated Press, it has been revealed that employees of a Ukrainian arms firm collaborated with defense ministry officials in embezzling nearly $40 million that was meant for purchasing weapons.

United Nations Complicit in Hamas' hatred

IDF Finds Dozens of Rockets in Gaza Home Under United Nations Boxes

The Israel Defense Forces (IDF) revealed Saturday that it had found dozens of rockets in a private home in Gaza City underneath boxes labeled for the United Nations Relief and Works Agency (UNRWA), the institution devoted solely to Palestinian refugees.

Video on X

The soldier in the video above explains that the home is in a neighborhood in Gaza City, and that the rockets found are short-range rockets of the “Grad” variety, capable of traveling about ten kilometers, and likely use to target the Israeli city of Ashkelon.

UNRWA has repeatedly been accused of indoctrinating Palestinians to hate Israel, and also of assisting terror operations.

Here is another video where Hamas hid weapons--There are many more instances of this nature.
