Pentagon ‘Scrambling,’ Wiping Evidence of DEI as Trump Readies to Fire Woke Generals

/17 Comments/in , , /by

The Pentagon is in “absolute disarray” with “generals scrambling” due to the incoming Trump administration’s plans to fire woke senior military leaders who prioritized diversity, equity, and inclusion (DEI) over combat readiness, according to sources.

One source compared it to a hornet’s nest being kicked over and that “DEI pages are starting to disappear off the main websites.”

“They’re being archived as we speak. They are full-bore focused on cleaning up anything DEI-related,” the source said.

Another source said people are trying to find out if they are on the list to be cut. “They are in panic mode,” the source said.

The scramble to hide evidence comes as President-elect Donald Trump’s transition team has begun gathering names of senior officers who pushed DEI.

One source familiar with the plan told Breitbart News that an executive order has been drafted to create a panel to recommend those senior officers for elimination and that the EO is “definitely” going to Trump’s desk.

Mother Fighting Child Endangerment Charges After Son Walks Alone Less Than Mile From Home

/0 Comments/in , , /by

A Georgia mom is refusing to strike a plea deal after she was arrested on child endangerment-related charges over her 10-year-old son’s unsupervised walk into town.

Brittany Patterson, 41, of Mineral Bluff, Ga., was arrested by the Fannin County Sheriff’s Department on Oct. 30 after she left her son alone at home and he wandered less than a mile into town, according to NBC News.

The Fannin County Sheriff’s Department initially called the mom to alert her to the fact that her son Soren was unaccompanied in the town located near the North Carolina border.

“It’s not a super dangerous or even dangerous-at-all stretch of road,” Patterson told the outlet, referring to the street that leads from their rural home to the town of Mineral Bluff. “I wasn’t terrified for him or scared for his safety.”

Deputies drove Soren home and, hours later, returned to handcuff and arrest her in front of her family. (Read more from “Mother Fighting Child Endangerment Charges After Son Walks Alone Less Than Mile From Home” HERE)

Could This Be the Real Reason Why Trump Nominated Matt Gaetz As Attorney General?

/0 Comments/in , , /by

Rep. Matt Gaetz (R-FL) has been nominated to be our next attorney general. It’s triggered all the right people, as he would take a baseball bat to the Department of Justice. It’s a clear sign that the era of gangster antics from the rogue officials and agents here is over. Gaetz is indeed the king of controversy. He wallows in it so that this confirmation fight will be bloody. It just is since there are more than enough squishy Republicans who could make this fight a slog.

There have been many theories as to why Gaetz was selected. Is it 4-D chess? Is it a ploy to get Gaetz to resign from Congress? He did so yesterday, according to House Speaker Mike Johnson. Even Politico thought the ploy of Gaetz leaving would make it easier for Trump to select who he really wants to be a stretch. Yet, it might be one massive loyalty test (via Politico):

Once Gaetz’s selection was announced, the chatter among top Republicans on Capitol Hill quickly turned to four questions:

1. Was Trump aware of the coming Ethics report on its Gaetz investigation?

The committee was planning to vote Friday on whether to release the report, as Punchbowl first reported. But if “Gaetz is no longer a member of the House, the report likely won’t be formally released,” as Olivia Beavers and Jordain Carney report.

Frankly, it seems implausible to us that this won’t come out — if not on Friday, then during Gaetz’s confirmation hearings (assuming, of course, that Trump doesn’t try to end-run around those with recess appointments to the Cabinet). The House leaks like a sieve, and the Senate Judiciary Committee is definitely going to want to see at least the underlying evidence in the report.

2. Is this for real?

Pretty much every Hill Republican we spoke with thinks there’s something strange going on here. One theory we heard over and over from bewildered Republicans is that perhaps by picking him, Trump is giving Gaetz an out from the Ethics report (which seems possible), and that Gaetz is returning the favor by becoming a sacrificial lamb who will ease the way for Trump’s eventual pick for AG (which seems like a stretch).

A separate theory we heard goes like this: Maybe Gaetz is resigning only from this Congress — so as to stymie the Ethics probe for now — with an intent to be seated for the next Congress come January. We find that very hard to believe, both because it doesn’t sound like it would realistically slow the Ethics report’s release, and because House Speaker MIKE JOHNSON has already spoken to Florida Gov. RON DeSANTIS about holding a special election right away — which there would be no need for if Gaetz were planning to be seated in January.

Trump’s Pick for Pentagon Is Hard-Core Anti-Woke, Will Fire the Loonies on Day 1

/7 Comments/in , , /by

President-elect Donald Trump stunned national security circles on Tuesday night by naming Fox News morning show co-host and Army veteran Pete Hegseth as his nominee for secretary of defense. Like all nominees to major roles in the U.S. government, reporters quickly poured through Hegseth’s many years of on-air moments and other public remarks, including his recent book “The War on Warriors: Behind the Betrayal of the Men Who Keep Us Free.”

In the June 2024 book, Hegesth explains how he and the military finally parted ways in 2021. “And, in 2021, I was deemed an “extremist” by that very same Army. Yes, you read that right. Twenty years . . . and the military I loved, I fought for, I revered…spit me out,” Hegseth wrote. . .

He also joined Fox News that month to discuss his book and told the network, “I was in the National Guard during the inauguration of Joe Biden, so I served under Bush, served under Obama, served under Trump, and now was going to guard the inauguration because I was in the D.C. guard… ultimately, members of my unit in leadership deemed that I was an extremist or a white nationalist because of a tattoo I have, which is a religious tattoo. It’s a Jerusalem cross. Everybody can look it up, but it was used as a premise to revoke my orders to guard the inauguration.”

Hegseth, a long anti-woke advocate, concluded the interview with Fox’s Ainsley Earhardt by saying, “The Pentagon likes to say ‘our diversity is our strength.’ What a bunch of garbage. In the military, our diversity is not our strength. Our unity is our strength, and we need a commander-in-chief that understands that. Donald Trump certainly does.” . . .

Hegseth also wrote more about his tattoos, saying, “When I was doing a series for Fox Nation I did an interview while getting tattooed by the only tattoo artist in Bethlehem. I got Yehweh — Jesus in Hebrew. Also on my forearm, I have a Benjamin Franklin, effectively, political cartoon from the 1760s. It’s the Join or Die snake. I’ve got Deus Vult — God Wills It – which was the cry of the Crusaders on my bicep. I have a big flag with the AR-15 I carried in Iraq on my bicep. Then on my shoulder, I have my unit crest of who I served with in Iraq. My entire pec is a Jerusalem cross. Israel, Christianity and my faith are things I care deeply about.” (Read more from “Trump’s Pick for Pentagon Is Hard-Core Anti-Woke, Will Fire the Loonies on Day 1” HERE)

Trans “Woman” Who Worked as Manager at Bezo’s Blue Origin, Allegedly Butchered Dad on Election Day; Also Worked HR, Married to another Trans “Woman” Writer

A space rocket program manager butchered [his] father with an ice axe on Election Night after a breakdown following President-elect Trump’s victory — and was found smiling and clapping covered in [his] loved one’s blood, cops said.

Corey Burke considered the bloody rampage – in which [he] allegedly strangled, bit and hacked [his] 67-year-old father in the $800,000 Seattle home they shared – to be an “act of liberation,” charging documents allege.

Burke, 33, is a training program manager at Blue Origin, Jeff Bezos’ spacecraft company, according to [his] LinkedIn, and is married to prominent transgender writer Samantha Leigh Allen, public records show.

Burke told cops that the killing was meant to “help people change their attachment to their parents” and “had to happen today,” [he] told police, her face covered in her father’s blood, according to court documents.

Burke had been upset about election day and knew Trump would handily beat Vice President Kamala Harris when [he] allegedly snapped — apparently because when [his] father, Timothy Burke, refused to turn off the lights.

T-Shirt With Factual Message Gets Boy Suspended: Supreme Court Now Involved

/0 Comments/in , , /by

A coalition of many groups, organizations and states is asking the U.S. Supreme Court to overturn a school’s decision to apply its own political ideology to students’ speech, and censor by ejecting from class those with other perspectives.

It’s all over a student who wore a T-shirt stating “There are only two genders,” and was tossed from his school. Then he tried to wear one that said “There are CENSORED genders” and he got the same result. . .

One of the supporting briefs, filed by the Foundation for Individual Rights and Expression, pointed out that the lower courts couldn’t even agree on why they were attacking the student’s rights.

“The district court denied L.M.’s request for a preliminary injunction and later entered final judgment against him, reasoning that the shirt constituted an impermissible ‘invasion of the rights of others’… The First Circuit affirmed on alternative grounds, adopting a novel test that would allow schools to censor speech that neither targets nor harasses a specific student,” the brief charges.

That precedent, FIRE said, allows schools to target “passive, silently expressed speech that targets no student in particular if the student’s expression (1) is reasonably interpreted to demean one of those characteristics of personal identity, given the common understanding that such characteristics are unalterable or otherwise deeply rooted and that demeaning them strikes a person at the core of his being, and (2) the demeaning message is reasonably forecasted to poison the educational atmosphere due to its serious negative psychological impact on students with the demeaned characteristic and thereby lead to symptoms of a sick school – symptoms therefore of substantial disruption.” (Read more from “T-Shirt With Factual Message Gets Boy Suspended: Supreme Court Now Involved” HERE)

Melania Trump Trashes Jill Biden After Revealing She Called Her Post-assassination Attempt — Questions if Her ‘Concern Was Genuine’

/2 Comments/in , , /by

Melania Trump, the once and future first lady, revealed that current first lady Jill Biden reached out to her following the July 13 assassination attempt against President-elect Donald Trump in Butler, Pa.

But Trump also said she doubts Biden was being sincere — given the inflammatory rhetoric Jill had unleashed just a few days earlier.

“I do question, however, whether Jill’s concern was genuine, as a few days prior she referred to my husband as ‘evil’ and a ‘liar,’” she told French outlet Paris Match in an interview just before the election.

“It was obvious that the onslaught of rhetoric from Democrat leaders and the mainstream media was so deeply embedded in our nation’s consciousness it prompted an attempt to assassinate Donald.”

President Biden, 81, similarly spoke to Donald Trump, 78, just after a bullet grazed his right ear and came within a quarter-inch of ending his life.

Here’s What Trump Has Said He Plans To Do About Our Censorship Overlords

/1 Comment/in , , /by

President-elect Donald Trump has a golden opportunity to crush the censorship regime that amassed a staggering amount of power during the COVID-19 pandemic.

Never before in America’s history has there been a Censorship Industrial Complex as vast and powerful as the one currently choking our First Amendment rights. Whether it’s the tech platforms themselves, such as Google and Facebook, targeting free speech and boosting left-wing agendas with shadowy algorithms, the Biden administration’s collusion with these platforms to shut down so-called “misinformation” about COVID-19 or the State Department’s Global Engagement Center collaborating with fact-checkers to crush conservative news outlets, the censorship overlords have gotten way out of control. Americans, both liberal and conservative, Democrat and Republican, are suffering for it.

Trump has a plan, however, which he laid out back in 2022. In the coming months, Republicans should hit the ground running and ensure that the president-elect’s proposals are implemented as soon as possible. With control of the House, the Senate and the Executive branch, the GOP has no excuse to drag its feet on an issue that is truly critical to the country’s future. It’s high time pro-censorship bureaucrats, Silicon Valley executives, and non-profit activists destroying our First Amendment are brought to heel. . .

The first step is for Trump to immediately go to war with the deep state by signing an executive order that reins in rogue bureaucrats and fires those who’ve already engaged in censorship, whether at DHS, the FBI or the DOJ:

Within hours of my inauguration, I will sign an executive order banning any federal department or agency from colluding with any organization, business or person, to censor, limit, categorize, or impede the lawful speech of American citizens. I will then ban federal money from being used to label domestic speech as ‘mis-‘ or ‘dis-information’. And I will begin the process of identifying and firing every federal bureaucrat who has engaged in domestic censorship —directly or indirectly — whether they are the Department of Homeland Security, the Department of Health and Human Services, the FBI, the DOJ, no matter who they are.

‘Coward Who Back-Stabs Her Own Party’: Conservative Outlet Turns on Trump’s DHS Pick

/3 Comments/in , , /by

The conservative news publication The Federalist slammed South Dakota Gov. Kristi Noem with a blistering takedown Tuesday that referred to her as a “coward” who was underserving to lead the Department of Homeland Security.

“While Noem is certainly skilled at promoting herself, she doesn’t have the courage required for this role,” Joy Pullmann, an executive editor at The Federalist, wrote in an editorial after news spread that President-elect Donald Trump selected Noem, who famously shot her pet dog to death, for the cabinet position.

In her brutal rebuke, Pullman took issue with several actions Noem took as governor and concluded her “track record is not the behavior of a leader serious enough” to head the agency. The publication referenced Noem’s decisions in favor of state lobbyists involving a “corrupt health-industrial complex,” which Pullman criticized the Trump loyalist for supporting.

“And when she was called out on this by the likes of Tucker Carlson, Noem’s defense was that she’s scared to engage in lawsuits on behalf of Americans’ obvious best interests,” Pullman wrote. “It should go without saying that anyone who is scared of lawsuits should not be part of the Trump administration, especially anyone involved in combatting illegal immigration.”

She continued: “Noem has an undeserved reputation for courage because she was the only governor not to shut down her state in the name of Covid. But that reputation is completely undeserved. The truth is, she attempted to get the power to shut down South Dakota, but the state Legislature refused to give it to her.” (Read more from “‘Coward Who Back-Stabs Her Own Party’: Conservative Outlet Turns on Trump’s DHS Pick” HERE)

‘Wow’: Biden-Harris DOD Bungles Veterans Day Commemoration With Mind-Boggling Error

/3 Comments/in , , /by

Keen observers noticed something amiss about a Biden-Harris Department of Defense social media post Monday commemorating Veterans Day.

In a now-deleted post on Instagram and X, the F-35 Lightning II Joint Program Office — whose very existence centers on the F-35 fighter jet — shared an image of an aircraft with the caption, “Today, and every day, we thank all Veterans and those currently serving for their service and sacrifice.”

The trouble with the F-35 JPO’s post was not the wording but rather the image. Not only was the aircraft pictured not American, it belongs to an adversarial, communist nation that some living veterans commemorated on Monday fought against in Korea.

Military.com noted that instead of the F-35’s single Pratt & Whitney F135 turbofan engine, the vehicle depicted in the post had twin engines. On closer examination, it appears as though the F-35 JPO actually posted an image of communist China’s J-35 stealth fighter aircraft, the People’s Liberation Army Air Force’s F-35 knockoff.
