“Morning Joe” host Joe Scarborough laid into Senator Elissa Slotkin (D-MI) on Monday, criticizing her defense of a video in which she and several others in her party had actively encouraged service members to refuse “unlawful” orders from President Donald Trump. Scarborough’s issue was not the fact that Slotkin, a former CIA analyst — and several others who had served in the military — had made the video insinuating that Trump either had already or would soon issue unlawful orders and telling military service members that they had a responsibility to refuse them. He did not take issue with the fact that she was defending the video, but rather, he was upset that she’d been unable to answer a specific question about it to his satisfaction during a recent interview. WATCH: Joe Scarborough is very mad at Senator Slotkin for saying Trump hasn’t issued any illegal orders. “Wrong answer!” Joe then goes on to cite a hypothetical scenario of what Trump might do as evidence of illegal orders. https://t.co/viCkHoAxMJ pic.twitter.com/NNyUdgizPw — Western Lensman (@WesternLensman) November 24, 2025 Scarborough was responding to Slotkin’s answer to host Martha Raddatz — on ABC’s “This Week” —  when she admitted that she didn’t actually know of any illegal orders that President Trump had given. “I’m sorry, with all due respect, wrong answer. President of the United States, the commander-in-chief does have wide latitude, just does. And the Senate can take that up. But he has wide latitude on strikes. Ask Barack Obama on drone strikes. Ask George W. Bush on drone strikes,” Scarborough said, referencing the Trump administration’s actions against narco-terrorists.

I can send the Army. I can send the Air Force. I can send the Coast Guard into any city I want to control crime. And the courts can’t do anything about it.’ That’s illegal. It’s just illegal,” Scarborough continued, insisting that Trump had said he’d give illegal orders despite the fact that thus far, he had not done so. “And so Democrats kind of need to – if the president has already said, I’m going to commit this illegal act, then I’m kind of surprised they don’t have the answer when they go on a Sunday show for that,” he complained.

Finding quality dog training articles online can feel overwhelming with thousands of resources available. Poor advice can actually harm your pet’s progress and create behavioral problems. We at DogingtonPost know that reliable training information makes the difference between success and frustration. The right articles will transform your approach to training and strengthen your bond with your dog. Where to Find Quality Dog Training Content The internet hosts three distinct categories of dog training content, each with different reliability levels. Professional training websites from certified trainers represent the gold standard, with credentials from organizations like the Certification Council for Professional Dog Trainers or the Association of Professional Dog Trainers. These sites typically cost between 30 to 80 dollars per session (according to Petpedia), but their free articles maintain the same scientific rigor. Veterinary and animal behavior resources from institutions like the American College of Veterinary Behaviorists provide evidence-based methods that prioritize canine welfare over quick fixes. Professional Certification Makes the Difference Certified trainers publish content that reflects years of hands-on experience with thousands of dogs. The CCPDT leads the development of rigorous exams to demonstrate mastery of humane, science-based dog training practices. Their articles focus on operant conditioning principles that B.F. Skinner established and classical conditioning concepts from Ivan Pavlov. These experts translate complex behavioral science into practical steps for pet owners. Veterinary Resources Provide Scientific Foundation Veterinary behaviorists and animal hospitals offer the most scientifically rigorous content available online. The American Veterinary Society of Animal Behavior recommends that only reward-based training methods are used for all dog training based on current scientific evidence. These resources help owners understand the emotional states that cause unwanted behavior rather than simply suppress symptoms through positive reinforcement over aversive techniques. Community Forums Require Extra Caution Community forums and user-generated content platforms offer real-world experiences but lack professional oversight. While 99.5 percent of pet owners believe that reward-based methods work effectively according to Pet365, amateur advice often misapplies these principles. Forums can provide valuable insights about specific breed behaviors or challenges, but owners should cross-reference any advice with veterinary behaviorist resources before implementation. Outdated dominance-based methods still circulate widely on these platforms and can damage the human-animal bond through fear-based techniques. These content categories form the foundation for evaluating article quality, but specific criteria help separate reliable information from potentially harmful advice. What Makes a Dog Training Article Trustworthy Professional credentials separate reliable training articles from dangerous amateur advice. Authors must display certifications from the Certification Council for Professional Dog Trainers, the Association of Professional Dog Trainers, or veterinary behaviorist credentials from the American College of Veterinary Behaviorists. These organizations require rigorous tests and continuous education to maintain certification status. Authors should list their specific qualifications, years of experience, and educational background prominently on their content. Veterinary professionals who write training content must display their license numbers and practice affiliations clearly. Avoid articles that anonymous authors write or those who claim expertise without verifiable credentials. Scientific Evidence Beats Popular Trends Quality articles reference peer-reviewed research and established behavioral science principles rather than trendy methods. The American Veterinary Society of Animal Behavior publishes position statements that serve as the gold standard for humane training methods. Articles should cite specific studies, mention researchers like B.F. Skinner for operant conditioning or Ivan Pavlov for classical conditioning, and reference data from reputable sources. Reject content that promotes outdated dominance theory or punishment-based methods that research from Deldalle and Gaunet (2014) shows recorded stress-related behaviors in dogs responding to verbal cues. Quality articles explain the science behind their recommendations rather than rely on anecdotal success stories. Clear Instructions Prevent Training Mistakes Effective training articles provide precise, actionable instructions with exact timing specifications and safety warnings. The best content explains that reinforcement must occur within one to two seconds of the desired behavior for optimal learning, as behavioral research demonstrates. Articles should specify exact treat sizes, training session durations, and progression timelines without ambiguity. Warning signs include vague instructions like “train until your dog gets it” or “use whatever treats you have available.” Quality content addresses common mistakes, provides troubleshooting steps, and explains when to seek professional help. Safety Considerations Signal Professional Standards Responsible articles address potential risks and contraindications for specific training methods. Content should warn readers about tools that deliver aversive stimuli (such as shock collars or choke collars) that research from Ziv in 2017 shows can cause physical and psychological damage to dogs. Quality articles explain which methods work best for fearful dogs versus confident dogs, and when certain techniques might backfire. These comprehensive safety guidelines distinguish professional content from amateur advice that could harm your pet’s emotional well-being. Professional credentials and scientific backing form the foundation of trustworthy content, but knowing where to find these high-quality resources saves time and protects your dog from harmful advice. Where Can You Find the Most Reliable Training Resources The American Kennel Club stands as the most authoritative source for dog training information, with over 140 years of canine expertise behind their content. Their training articles receive review from certified professionals and reflect methods that work for the 73 percent of dog owners who use treats and positive reinforcement techniques (according to their own research). The AKC GoodDog! Helpline provides personalized support for training concerns and connects owners directly with experts who understand breed-specific behaviors and learning patterns. Professional Organizations Set Industry Standards Professional organizations like the Association of Professional Dog Trainers and the International Association of Canine Professionals maintain strict ethical standards for their members. These groups publish content that reflects current behavioral science rather than outdated punishment-based methods. Members must maintain competence through continuing education and adhere to humane training principles that prioritize animal welfare over quick results. Veterinary Specialists Provide Medical-Grade Training Advice Veterinary behavioral specialists offer the highest level of scientific rigor in their training recommendations and combine medical knowledge with behavioral expertise. The American College of Veterinary Behaviorists requires board certification through veterinary school graduation, residency completion, supervised caseload, scientific paper, and examination before members can publish content or provide advice. AAHA-accredited veterinary hospitals maintain libraries of training resources that address both behavioral modification and underlying medical conditions that affect learning. These professionals understand that 45 percent of pet owners find training the most challenging aspect of pet ownership (according to YouGov). Their content addresses complex cases that general trainers cannot handle and provides guidance on when behavioral issues require medical intervention rather than training solutions alone. Educational Platforms Filter Content Through Expert Review Reputable pet publications like Whole Dog Journal and Patricia McConnell’s educational materials undergo editorial review by certified professionals before publication. These platforms reject content that promotes harmful methods and fact-check statistical claims against peer-reviewed research. Educational institutions that offer animal behavior programs often publish free resources that translate academic research into practical applications for pet owners. These sources consistently reference the same scientific principles that professional trainers use and make complex concepts accessible without sacrificing accuracy or safety standards. Final Thoughts Quality dog training articles share three essential characteristics: certified author credentials, scientific evidence that backs their methods, and clear safety guidelines. Professional trainers with CCPDT certification and veterinary behaviorists provide the most reliable content that protects your pet’s emotional well-being while you achieve training goals. These experts understand that proper methods create lasting behavioral changes without fear or stress. Expert-approved methods deliver measurable results that strengthen your bond with your dog. The 99.5 percent success rate of reward-based training reflects decades of behavioral research that proves positive reinforcement builds confidence and trust. Start with one basic command and practice short sessions daily, timing your rewards within two seconds of desired behavior for optimal learning (as behavioral research demonstrates). We at DogingtonPost provide comprehensive resources for responsible dog ownership through expert advice and practical care tips. Visit DogingtonPost for ongoing support as you continue your training journey with science-based methods that prioritize your dog’s welfare. Track your progress and adjust methods based on your dog’s individual responses and motivations.

Dr Mengele, I Presume? UK Okays State Experiment With Puberty Blockers and Children

Captain Mark Kelly, USN (Ret.) – one of six Democrat lawmakers with military or intelligence backgrounds in a viral video urging servicemembers to “refuse illegal orders” – is under investigation, the U.S. War Department reported Monday: “The Department of War has received serious allegations of misconduct against Captain Mark Kelly, USN (Ret.). In accordance with the Uniform Code of Military Justice, 10 U.S.C. § 688, and other applicable regulations, a thorough review of these allegations has been initiated to determine further actions, which may include recall to active duty for court-martial proceedings or administrative measures.” Both the cited code and federal law “prohibit actions intended to interfere with the loyalty, morale, or good order and discipline of the armed forces,” the War Department explains in a social media post. “Any violations will be addressed through appropriate legal channels.” Military orders, like civilians, enjoy the presumption of innocence, the post notes. Additionally, legality is determined by legislation and judicial review, not subjective, the post warns: “All servicemembers are reminded that they have a legal obligation under the UCMJ to obey lawful orders and that orders are presumed to be lawful. A servicemember’s personal philosophy does not justify or excuse the disobedience of an otherwise lawful order.” Kelly is the only former member of military appearing in the video who is subject to punishment under the code, because the others, while no longer in active service, are not technically “retired.” The six Democrat lawmakers using their credentials and prior service to convince servicemembers to defy orders they’re given are: Sen. Elissa Slotkin (D-Mich.) Sen. Mark Kelly (D-Ariz.) Rep. Chris Deluzio (D-Pa.) Rep. Maggie Goodlander (D-N.H.) Rep. Chrissy Houlahan (D-Pa.) Rep. Jason Crow (D-Colo.) “The video made by the ‘Seditious Six’ was despicable, reckless, and false,” War Department Secretary Peter Hegseth wrote Monday: “Encouraging our warriors to ignore the orders of their Commanders undermines every aspect of ‘good order and discipline.’ Their foolish screed sows doubt and confusion — which only puts our warriors in danger.” Kelly’s remarks “were addressed directly to all troops while explicitly using his rank and service affiliation—lending the appearance of authority to his words,” Hegseth noted: “Kelly’s conduct brings discredit upon the armed forces and will be addressed appropriately.”

On Sunday's The Weekend, MS NOW gave an unchallenged forum to a North Carolina Democrat to rant and ramble about the arrests of illegal aliens in her state, calling it both "kidnapping" and "un-American" of people who are our "neighbors" "friends," and "family members." In other words, MS NOW put forth a guest to argue arrests of non-American citizens who've broken our laws is "un-American." After showing a clip of a local woman explaining why she is sympathetic to immigrants with children who might be deported, co-host Eugene Daniels asked guest and Durham County Commissioner Nida Allam to describe why residents are feeling "under siege": How is the community, like, stepping up and coming together? Because it does feel when I talk to folks when, you know, they say CBP or ICE or the National Guard comes to their communities, it feels like they're under siege. But the community does have ways to stand up together, and this mother is one of -- one of the perfect examples of how. Allam soon accused federal agents of "kidnapping" immigrants: These are -- the folks that they're picking up and kidnapping -- they are my neighbors -- they're the people I see at the grocery store when I go to shopping centers just like the one that we recorded that incident at that -- them being picked up at. So I knew I couldn't sit idly by when we saw what was happening in Chicago -- we saw that they had already been coming to North Carolina... Co-host Jackie Alemany soon followed up: "Commissioner, I'm wondering, if you had the opportunity to sit down with Trump or anyone at a high level in this administration involved with this deportation mandate, what would your message to them be?" The North Carolina Democrat then called it "un-American" to arrest illegal aliens, huffing about "these mass actions by masked, heavily armed CBP and ICE agents coming into our backyards, to our churches, to our shopping centers, as if they're in a warzone." Of course, Allam neglected to mention the threats to immigration officers and law enforcement more generally or where she would draw the line on whether America is a country of laws. Allam was also unchallenged on her fanatical declaration -- which we've seen increasingly in the liberal media -- that she herself has been "terrif[ied]" even though she's "a naturalized citizen." In other words, they're painting the picture that ICE will try and "kidnap" anyone who might 'look' foreign. Fill-in co-host and MS NOW White House correspondent Laura Barron Lopez followed up by cuing up Allam to predict negative future consequences of the immigration arrests: I was talking to the Mecklenburg County sheriff, Gary McFadden, earlier this week, and he talked about the long-term impact on the community in North Carolina, saying it damaged the economy -- it damaged, you know, construction sites, restaurants, but also, he said, the "heart and soul of the people" there in North Carolina. What kind of long-term impacts are these immigration enforcement efforts by the administration going to have on your community? "North Carolina constantly gets rated as the number one state for business, but we can't remain in that place if we're not the number one state for workers and what we have seen over the past two weeks now is that businesses are having to close down because their workers are too scared to come in. We're seeing businesses, construction sites completely empty," Allam replied. Transcript follows. Click "expand" to read: MS NOW's The Weekend November 23, 2025 8:19 a.m. Eastern EUGENE DANIELS: How is the community, like, stepping up and coming together? Because it does feel when I talk to folks when, you know, they say CBP or ICE or the National Guard comes to their communities, it feels like they're under siege. But the community does have ways to stand up together, and this mother is one of -- one of the perfect examples of how. NIDA ALLAM (D-DURHAM COUNTY COMMISSIONER): Yeah, so, as the county commissioner, you know, here in Durham, I represent over 340,000 people. DANIELS: Wow. ALLAM: And I ran on the platform that I was going to make sure that Durham was a safe and welcoming place for all residents of Durham. And, you know, as a local elected official, I'm often the elected official that folks see every day. These are -- the folks that they're picking up and kidnapping -- they are my neighbors -- they're the people I see at the grocery store when I go to shopping centers just like the one that we recorded that incident at that -- them being picked up at, so I knew I couldn't sit idly by when we saw what was happening in Chicago -- we saw that they had already been coming to North Carolina, which is why I have been working and partnering with immigrant justice organizations like Siembra North Carolina, Muslim Women For, to lead "know your rights" workshops for people to know what their rights are as well as coordinating, you know, other elected officials to be ready for this rapid response. And that's what you saw was that, as soon as we got notification that there was CBP and ICE in Durham, I hopped in my car and I rushed over because these are more than just my constituents. They're my neighbors, my friends, my family -- and I feel that woman's pain -- that mother's pain because I also am a mother of a three-year-old and a one-and-a-half-year-old. And ICE and CBP here in Durham showed up to a daycare and was staking out a daycare's parking lot where the daycare had to go into lockdown and tell the families to not come because they didn't want to risk any parent being picked up while trying to come to get their child. JACKIE ALEMANY: Commissioner, I'm wondering, if you had the opportunity to sit down with Trump or anyone at a high level in this administration involved with this deportation mandate, what would your message to them be? ALLAM: My message to them would be that this is un-American. What we're seeing right now, these mass actions by masked, heavily armed CBP and ICE agents coming into our backyards, to our churches, to our shopping centers, as if they're in a warzone. This is un-American, you know, and as a naturalized citizen, I'm like proud to be an American, but right now it's terrifying. It's terrifying for me as a county commissioner to go to my residents who are scared, and I can't look them in the face and tell them everything is going to be okay, but I can tell them that I will fight for them because right now all of us elected officials -- not just Republicans, but everyone needs to be doing better because right now is not the time for strongly worded letters and tweets. It is time for us to stand up and use every lever of power that we have to advocate for our neighbors. And if that means putting our bodies on the line, then we have to do that because I will not stand by while residents are living in fear. LAURA BARRON LOPEZ: Commissioner, I was talking to the Mecklenburg County sheriff, Gary McFadden, earlier this week, and he talked about the long-term impact on the community in North Carolina, saying it damaged the economy -- it damaged, you know, construction sites, restaurants, but also, he said, the "heart and soul of the people" there in North Carolina. What kind of long-term impacts are these immigration enforcement efforts by the administration going to have on your community? ALLAM: Yeah, absolutely. I mean, North Carolina constantly gets rated as the number one state for business, but we can't remain in that place if we're not the number one state for workers and what we have seen over the past two weeks now is that businesses are having to close down because their workers are too scared to come in. We're seeing businesses, construction sites completely empty. We're seeing schools in Durham Public Schools — on Tuesday, when we heard that ICE was going to be coming, ICE and CBP was coming to Durham, There was 30 percent absences in our Durham Public Schools because students were and their families were too scared to come to drop off their kids. And that isn't the way that any of us should want our communities to be living. And that's not just impacting our undocumented neighbors, that's impacting everyone. ALEMANY: Wow.
