Donald Trump's "Space Force" proposal is officially coming to fruition, according to an announcement made by Vice President Mike Pence this morning. Pence stated that the Pentagon has started the planning process for the Space Force which, if authorized by Congress, will constitute the sixth branch of United States Military.

The announcement comes two months after Trump called for a Space Force on the grounds that the US should have the potential to protect its military dominance in space against the likes of China and Russia, who have begun making their own respective outer-space advancements. Specifically, a Space Force would serve to defend American satellites from attack.

China and Russia are currently looking to "reduce US military effectiveness," Pence said in a report by USA Today.

Don't get too comfortable with the idea of having a Space Force yet, however. The Trump Administration still needs to get approval from Congress in order to receive funding, although Pence appears hopeful that they are gaining support for the plan.

Should the Administration receive the necessary funding, Pence stated in his speech that the Space Force will be completed by 2020, and that a US Space Command will be created beforehand, drawing officers and forces from other current military branches.

People on the internet have been offering their thoughts on the Space Force, many more snarky than others. What do you think? Let us know in the comments!

Melania Trump was roasted hardcore for her outfit choice this morning - the First Lady chose to wear a jacket that said "I really don't care, do u?" to visit immigrant children in Texas, right after Donald Trump's controversial family-separation policy caused outrage among Americans. Let us know what you think about Melania's fashion choice!

Surprise! America's pop princess is engaged to comedian Pete Davidson after just a few weeks of dating. The news comes as a shock especially after Grande broadcasted her split from boyfriend of two years, Mac Miller, just two days before the announcement that she and Davidson were an item. The internet is very confused and people have some pretty wild speculations and theories about what's really going on.

The restaurant formerly known as the International House Of Pancakes made waves last week after announcing a name change to "IHOb." The chain remained coy about what the "b" stands for - until today. The answer, much to the internet's chagrin, is burgers.

We reported this "intel" last week after a couple IHOP insiders reported the beefy news. The restaurant is looking to remind people that they serve lunch and dinner, and have added several new burgers to their breakfast-y menu. So far, the internet has reacted with disbelief, confusion and anger. People who love IHOP apparently go there for the breakfast food - and are feeling pretty B-etrayed.

While we're not sure if the burgers will take off the way IHOP is hoping, we do have good news for the House of Pancakes purists - that P isn't actually going anywhere.

Food Insider created a video series called Gold Leaf Food, in which they coat everything in gold. On May 5, they tweeted a video about a 24-karat gold burger bun that sent the internet into a roasting frenzy, and people began reacting to how stupid this whole thing is.
