• The election is behind us.  Now what’s next for America?

• Explore with us “What it’s like to work in the Pentagon!”

• This topic is essential for our future.

“Over the last two years under Secretary of War Pete Hegseth's leadership, the Department has been relentlessly reshaped to focus on lethality, the warfighters, and rapid modernization.” (from a release by the U.S. Department of War, Sept 30, 2026)

The Pentagon is the headquarters of the United States Department of War in Arlington County, Virginia, across the Potomac River from Washington, D.C. The building was constructed on an accelerated schedule during World War II.

We will be looking at who works there, what Dr. Trebes’ job was, budget wars, how you buy a tank, and various other items that could be at risk after the results of the November 3 election.

James “Jim” Trebes was born and raised in Georgia.  He received his BS and PhD in physics.  He worked in various fields that include X-rays, laser fusion, nuclear weapons engineering, and military special operations technology to name just a few.  His various jobs contributed to America becoming the world leader in defense.  His service at the Pentagon included being the Principal Physicist for Directed Energy for the Office of the Undersecretary of Defense for Research and Engineering and then the Principal Director for Directed Energy for OUSD (R&E).  He has also served as an advisor to both the Texas A&M Aerospace Dept. and the UC Berkley Nuclear Engineering Dept. He is a Fellow of the American Physical Society.

What does the future hold for America?  Come out and learn together with us.

Our meetings are open to the public and everyone is welcome.

We are the TEA Party!  America is Back!
