Pete Hegseth Clears Major Procedural Hurdle — One Step Closer to Confirmation

/1 Comment/in , /by

Defense Secretary Nominee Pete Hegseth got one step closer to confirmation after his nomination passed a major procedural hurdle on Thursday afternoon.

The full Senate voted 51-49 to consider Hegseth’s nomination, which will likely take place Friday evening.

Hegseth’s nomination advanced despite a last-ditch effort by Senate Democrats to derail it.

On Tuesday, NBC News reported that Hegseth’s estranged ex-sister-in-law claimed he was abusive towards his ex-wife Samantha Deering — despite Deering telling NBC News that there was no abuse in their marriage and what they were planning to report was “inaccurate.”

Furthermore, both the ex-sister-in-law, Danielle Dietrich — who was married to and divorced from Hegseth’s brother, and Deering were interviewed by the FBI for Hegseth’s background investigation, and the investigation results came back as “unremarkable.” (Read more from “Pete Hegseth Clears Major Procedural Hurdle — One Step Closer to Confirmation” HERE)

J6 Investigation To Move To Judiciary Committee To Help Republicans Uncover FBI Abuses

/4 Comments/in , /by

By Townhall. Liz Cheney was pardoned by former President Joe Biden for her crimes against America, but congressional investigators will continue to uncover the truth of what really happened at the 2020 election protest at the United States Capitol — including the presence of FBI informants in the crowd, the placement and discovery of pipe bombs at party offices, and various other FBI abuses.

A new select subcommittee led by Rep. Barry Loudermilk, R-Ga., will be established under the Judiciary Committee to continue the work of the previous Congress, according to multiple sources familiar with the plan. Loudermilk led the previous effort as chair of the House Administration Oversight Subcommittee. That subcommittee released and published 40,000 hours of security footage from Jan. 6, uncovered interviews suppressed by Cheney’s committee that disputed her made-for-TV allegations, and referred Cheney for prosecution over her tampering with star witness Cassidy Hutchinson. Hutchinson, a low-level Trump aide, began dramatically changing her story after clandestine correspondence with the former Republican representative. Cheney, who was hand-selected by former Speaker of the House Nancy Pelosi to run the committee and its televised show trial, accepted a pardon for her alleged witness tampering and other crimes she may have committed.

Speaker of the House Mike Johnson announced the work would continue and be fully funded in a Jan. 2 social media post after President Biden awarded Liz Cheney the Presidential Citizens Medal for leading a controversial committee that shaped the left’s understanding of the Jan. 6 protest.

“The Jan 6 Select Committee manipulated AND destroyed evidence — created a fake, phony narrative all to try and hurt Trump. They even hired a TV producer from the legacy media in a desperate attempt to legitimize what Americans knew was a total hoax and complete waste of time,” Johnson said on X. “Be assured of this: House Republicans WILL continue our investigation into this corrupt committee and it will be FULLY FUNDED so it can continue next Congress.”

As noted earlier, Loudermilk and his staff uncovered transcribed interviews Cheney’s committee had suppressed because they were at odds with the narrative she was creating. For instance, Cheney suppressed evidence that President Donald Trump pushed for 10,000 National Guard troops to protect the nation’s capital, falsely claiming she had “no evidence” to support Trump officials’ claims the White House had communicated its desire for 10,000 National Guard troops.

Shocking New Twist in Biden Family Crime Drama Reveals Likely Reason Joe Pardoned Everybody

/1 Comment/in , , /by

Joe Biden’s handlers didn’t pardon him—maybe by design. Perhaps, in the end, Joe, the man riddled with dementia, will be the fall guy for his entire criminal enterprise. And wouldn’t that be sweet justice?

The buzz about this possibility is gaining traction, thanks to a bombshell twist in the Biden crime family drama. A newly discovered bank account reveals over $240,000 in foreign money wired directly to Joe Biden, with no explanation. . .

So, did the handler’s know this new bank account was about to be exposed? That’s the question on everyone’s mind.

Will Biden ever face justice? After all, it’s obvious we’re dealing with the most corrupt president ever installed in the White House. (Read more from “Shocking New Twist in Biden Family Crime Drama Reveals Likely Reason Joe Pardoned Everybody” HERE)

/0 Comments/in , /by

President Trump made the case Wednesday that the nation’s problems are “all solvable,” touting the “very unified” Republican caucus in Congress.

“They’re all solvable problems … with time, effort, money — unfortunately — but they’re all solvable,” Trump asserted during an interview on Fox News.

“We can get our country back,” he argued. “But if we didn’t win this race, I really believe our country would have been lost forever.”

Trump’s sitdown with Sean Hannity, taped Wednesday morning at the White House, is his first television interview as the 47th president. . .

Later in the interview, Trump praised House Speaker Mike Johnson (R-La.) as a “terrific” leader of the lower chamber, arguing that he’s effectively “unified” Republicans on Capitol Hill. (Read more from “Trump Gives First Interview Since Returning to the White House” HERE)

Trump Admin Deals Fatal Blow to Massive Refugee Flights

/0 Comments/in , /by

The Trump administration has cancelled all flights on refugees who were slated to enter the United States in the coming days, according to an internal memo obtained by CNN.

Refugees already approved to travel into the U.S. before a White House-imposed deadline suspending resettlement had their flight plans canceled anyway, according to a State Department memo given to resettlement partners and obtained by CNN. The flight cancellations are among the many actions the Trump administration has implemented to tighten immigration and shore up border security.

The flight cancellations are among the many actions the Trump administration has implemented to tighten immigration and shore up border security.

In his executive order announcement, Trump highlighted the plight of small towns like Springfield, Ohio, and Charleroi, Pennsylvania, that have dealt with incredible logistical and infrastructure challenges due to the large influx of refugees. The president also noted that other major jurisdictions, like New York City and Massachusetts, have declared emergencies due to the weight of their migrant populations.

How the NBC News Hit Piece Against Pete Hegseth Just Got Worse, But for a Different Reason

/0 Comments/in , /by

You cannot make this up: one of the NBC News reporters who wrote the shoddy hit piece against President Trump’s nominee for secretary of defense is accused in an internal complaint of making false claims of sexism and misogyny.

You read that right. And she then had the balls to run with this cockamamie story of Mr. Hegseth reportedly being threatening toward his second wife, who later refuted the allegations, characterizing them as inaccurate information. NBC News ran with it anyway. To boot, the allegations weren’t even brought forward by Mr. Hegseth’s ex-wife but by the ex-spouse of his brother. Are you kidding me?

The U.S. Military Is Headed to the Border

/0 Comments/in , /by

President Donald Trump has deployed thousands of active duty U.S. troops to the southern border with Mexico in an effort to restore deterrence against illegal immigration and trafficking into the country. The move comes just two days after Trump signed an executive order from the Oval Office “directing the military to prioritize our own borders and territorial integrity in strategic planning for its operations.”

“The Armed Forces of the United States have played a long and well-established role in securing our borders against threats of invasion, against unlawful forays by foreign nationals into the United States, and against other transnational criminal activities that violate our laws and threaten the peace, harmony, and tranquility of the Nation. These threats have taken a variety of forms over our Nation’s history, but the Armed Forces have consistently played an integral role in protecting the sovereignty of the United States,” the order states.

“No later than 10 days from the effective date of this order, deliver to the President a revision to the Unified Command Plan that assigns United States Northern Command (USNORTHCOM) the mission to seal the borders and maintain the sovereignty, territorial integrity, and security of the United States by repelling forms of invasion including unlawful mass migration, narcotics trafficking, human smuggling and trafficking, and other criminal activities.”

Now, 1500 U.S. troops will be initially sent to assist Customs and Border Protection agents with their mission. Their directive could eventually be changed to help will illegal immigrant and cartel arrests. As many as 10,000 could be deployed.

Putin and Xi Vow to ‘Deepen’ Alliance After Trump Returns to White House

/0 Comments/in , /by

Within hours of President Donald Trump’s inauguration on Monday, Chinese and Russian leaders Xi Jinping and Vladimir Putin held a 90-minute telephone conference to “deepen strategic coordination” and look out for each other’s interests in the “current global situation.”

“This year, I am ready, together with you, to elevate Chinese-Russian relations to a new level, to counter external uncertainties by preserving stability and resilience of Chinese-Russian relations,” Xi told Putin, according to a transcript of the call posted by the Kremlin.

Putin responded by praising collaborative projects, such as a pipeline operated by Russia’s national energy company Gazprom that carries natural gas to China.

“Five years ago, we launched the Power of Siberia gas pipeline together, and today, Russia has become the leading supplier of natural gas to China,” Putin boasted.

“I believe that the past year was very good for us. It can be said confidently that our foreign policy ties and Russia and China’s joint efforts objectively play a major stabilizing role in international affairs,” he said.

Shocking: Freed Israeli Hostages Say Hamas Used U.N. Facilities to Hide Them

/0 Comments/in , /by

Outrage is intensifying after Israeli hostages recently freed from Gaza revealed they were held in U.N. facilities during their captivity, with critics calling UNRWA a “front for Hamas” that must be “disbanded” immediately.

Last weekend, three Israeli women — Romi Gonen, Emily Damari, and Doron Steinbrecher — were released in a high-stakes prisoner swap, which saw Israel free 90 Palestinian detainees, including convicted terrorists.

The women, who endured nearly a year and a half of harrowing captivity under the terrorist group Hamas, described being detained in United Nations facilities, including tent camps and humanitarian zones administered by the United Nations Relief and Works Agency for Palestine Refugees in the Near East (UNRWA), Israel’s Channel 13 News reports.

Additionally, reports indicate they were held at the Kamal Adwan Hospital in northern Gaza.

The former hostages are now undergoing rehabilitation, following severe conditions that included long periods in underground confinement without sunlight. One woman recounted being subjected to a medical procedure without anesthesia, underscoring the inhumane treatment they faced.

Four GOP States Sue to Stop Federal Government From Counting Illegals in Census

/0 Comments/in , /by

A group of attorneys general are suing to stop illegal immigrants from diluting the voting power of American citizens.

Attorneys general from Louisiana, Kansas, Ohio, and West Virginia filed a lawsuit on Sunday to stop the Census Bureau from counting illegal immigrants in the census, which is used to apportion congressional seats and electoral votes. The suit alleges that then-President Joe Biden’s administration instructed the bureau to count illegal immigrants in the 2020 census and as a result, Ohio and West Virginia each lost a congressional seat and an electoral vote.

President Donald Trump signed a memo in July of 2020 that barred illegal immigrants to be counted in the census, but former President Joe Biden later reversed the policy. The size of a state’s population affects the number of congressional seats and electoral votes they have.

“After the 2020 Census, [Defendants] included illegal aliens and aliens holding temporary visas … in the census figures used for determining the apportionment of the House of Representatives and Electoral College votes,” the suit reads. “Due to this unlawful decision … Ohio lost one congressional seat and one electoral vote in the reapportionment conducted pursuant to the 2020 Census.”

The suit alleges, in part, that including illegal immigrants in the census robs citizens “of their rightful share of political representation, while systematically redistributing political power to states with high numbers of illegal aliens and nonimmigrant aliens” in violation of the 14th Amendment “and the constitutional principle of equal representation.” (Read more from “Four GOP States Sue to Stop Federal Government From Counting Illegals in Census” HERE)
