Honoring Veterans: A Look At The Holiday's History And 2025 Observances

Veterans Day began more than a century ago as a celebration marking the end of World War One. In 1938, Congress made November 11th an official federal holiday. Over time, the day evolved to honor all U.S. veterans — both those who have served in the past and those currently in uniform. This year, the federal shutdown has canceled many traditional Veterans Day events. Still, Americans can take advantage of holiday promotions at major retailers like Walmart, Home Depot, and Target. While Veterans Day is a federal holiday, the stock market remains open today. However, the bond market and most banks are closed. And as always, if you see a veteran, take a moment to thank them for their service.

Senate Approves Bill To End Government Shutdown

The Senate passed legislation Monday to reopen the federal government, bringing the longest shutdown in U.S. history closer to an end. The final vote was 60 to 40 after a small group of Democrats reached a deal with Republicans to move the bill forward. The shutdown could continue for a few more days while the House — which has been on recess since mid-September — returns to Washington to vote on the measure. President Trump signaled his support for the bill, saying Monday, “We’re going to be opening up our country very quickly.”

More U.S. Strikes On Suspected Drug Boats Kill 6

Secretary of War Pete Hegseth posted on X: "Yesterday, at the direction of President Trump, two lethal kinetic strikes were conducted on two vessels operated by Designated Terrorist Organizations. These vessels were known by our intelligence to be associated with illicit narcotics smuggling, were carrying narcotics, and were transiting along a known narco-trafficking transit route in the Eastern Pacific. Both strikes were conducted in international waters and 3 male narco-terrorists were aboard each vessel. All 6 were killed. No U.S. forces were harmed. Under President Trump, we are protecting the homeland and killing these cartel terrorists who wish to harm our country and its people."

Syrian Head Of State Visits White House For First Time Since 1946

Syria’s president is in Washington for a meeting with President Trump. It’s the first visit to the White House by a Syrian head of state since 1946. Syrian President Ahmad al-Sharaa, who once had ties to al-Qaida, led the toppling of Syria’s former president last December. Donald Trump has described al-Sharaa as a “young, attractive guy” and a “tough guy.” His visit comes after the U-S lifted sanctions imposed on Syria.

Plane carrying hurricane relief supplies to Jamaica crashes in Florida

A small turboprop plane bound for Jamaica on a hurricane relief mission crashed into a pond in a residential area of the Fort Lauderdale suburb of Coral Springs on Monday morning, minutes after takeoff, authorities said. A fire official told The Associated Press no victims were located during rescue efforts and they said the search had become a recovery effort. It wasn't immediately known how many persons were aboard the aircraft. Broward County, where the plane took off from and where the crash occurred, is home to a vibrant Caribbean American community that sprang into action to collect relief supplies following Hurricane Melissa. A fierce Category 5 hurricane, Melissa slammed into Jamaica late last month, leaving a path of destruction. Coral Springs-Parkland Fire Department Deputy Chief Mike Moser said crews responded within minutes of a call reporting the crash. No homes were damaged, but he said rescue workers did spot some debris near a neighborhood retention pond. “There was no actual plane to be seen,” Moser said. “They followed the debris trail to the water. We had divers that entered the water and tried to search for any victims and didn’t find any.” Moser said rescue efforts concluded without finding any victims. He said police would take over recovery efforts, and federal aviation officials would investigate the cause of the crash. Coral Springs police didn’t immediately respond to calls and emails from AP. The small Beechcraft King Air plane took off from the Fort Lauderdale Executive Airport at approximately 10:14 a.m., according to a spokesperson for the City of Fort Lauderdale, which owns and operates the airport. The crash occurred soon after takeoff, with Coral Springs police officers and firemen responding at 10:19 am, just five minutes later.

Dems Cave, Shutdown Ends after 40 Days

Parts Of U.S. Get Snow & Plunging Temperatures

A blast of the season’s first frigid air was bearing down on much of the U.S., bringing the prospect of snow to parts of the country and plunging temperatures in Florida — though it may not get cold enough there for iguanas to tumble from the treetops. National Weather Service forecasters said frigid Arctic air will pour into the eastern two-thirds of the country on Monday, bringing with it the chance for record temperatures in the U.S. Southeast. That includes all of Florida, where temperatures in parts of the state were near 80 degrees Fahrenheit just a day ago.

FDA To Drop Black Box Warnings From Menopause Hormone Therapies

The U.S. Food and Drug Administration said on Monday (November 10) it would remove the strictest "black box" warnings from hormone therapies used to treat menopause symptoms, a move that may boost access to treatments long shunned by patients and doctors over safety fears. FDA Commissioner Marty Makary said the decision follows an extensive review of scientific literature, input from an expert panel in July, and a public comment period. The agency is also approving two new drugs for the treatment of menopausal symptoms, he said, including a generic version of Pfizer's Premarin and a non-hormonal treatment for moderate to severe vasomotor symptoms, such as hot flashes, associated with menopause. The agency said it was working with drug manufacturers to update language in product labeling to remove references to risks of cardiovascular disease, breast cancer, and probable dementia. Hormone replacement therapy, or HRT, was widely prescribed, including to protect women from chronic diseases, especially heart disease, for decades. But its use plunged after a 2002 Women's Health Initiative study found it could raise the risk not only of breast and ovarian cancer but also of strokes and other serious conditions. The American College of Obstetricians and Gynecologists welcomed the move, which it said it had long advocated for. The move was also welcomed by Claire Gill, founder and president of the National Menopause Foundation, who called it an important first step in addressing access to therapies for women suffering from menopausal symptoms. Makary said drugmakers welcomed the move. "The companies are, generally speaking, very excited when the FDA tells them you can remove a scary warning on your product," he said. Digital health firms, including Hims & Hers Health, WeightWatchers International and Noom, have rolled out programs designed to support women experiencing a shift in hormone levels during menopause, citing a link between the cessation of menstrual cycles and weight gain. Hims in an October announcement said the offering would help drive the company toward $1 billion in yearly revenue by 2026. Hormone replacement therapy for menopause replenishes the hormones, primarily estrogen, that decline with menopause to relieve symptoms like hot flashes and vaginal dryness. All menopause treatments containing estrogen carry a warning that it increases the risk of strokes, blood clots and perhaps dementia. It also warns of the possibility of breast cancer. A black box warning is the most severe the FDA can place for a prescription medication, indicating serious or potentially fatal side effects.

Josh Hammer Show - Is the Woke Era Over? November 10th, 2025

Josh Hammer breaks down the shifting landscape in Washington as the government shutdown nears its end after a pivotal Senate test vote. He exposes why Democrats are fighting tooth and nail to preserve Obamacare subsidies—and what their stance reveals about the party’s real agenda.
