Attacks on Pete Hegseth
Posted By: Dreadnought, 11/18/2024 12:23:01 AM
Donald Trump’s cabinet nominees are coming under attack. They all will, I suspect, to the extent that Democrats can come up with something to use against them. Trump’s choice for Secretary of Defense, Pete Hegseth, has already been attacked on two fronts, possibly representing vulnerability on his part, or more likely simply the importance of his role. The first line of attack is outrageous. The Associated Press, a reliable shill for the Democratic Party, doesn’t like one of Hegseth’s tattoos. Not the Jerusalem cross, but the Latin phrase “Deus Vult,” which is tattooed on his arm:

Dance Celebration 8 replies
Raiders tight end Brock Bowers joined the NFL’s latest celebration trend on Sunday when he hit the “Trump Dance” after catching a touchdown pass. While Bowers and thousands in the stands and online seemed entertained by the dance, the Raiders public relations team may not be as amused.
Bowers gave the Silver & Black in the third quarter of their game against Miami when he caught a touchdown pass from quarterback Gardner Minshew II. After the game, a game the Raiders ended up losing 34-19, Bowers was asked about the dance move. “I’ve seen everyone do it,”

The 2024 presidential election has left the media reeling and plunged into a period of self-doubt and introspection. But for a few fleeting moments on NBC’s Meet the Depressed, the media forgot that they got shellacked. Watch as the Regime journalists (including former Obama and Biden spokesmouth Jen Psaki and taxpayer-funded Amna Nawaz of PBS) on the show’s panel plot a pressure campaign against Republicans considering confirmation of President Elect Donald Trump’s Cabinet picks: NBC MEET THE PRESS 11/17/24 10:44 AM KRISTEN WELKER: Eugene, what about the tension between: yes, you have the ethical questions, but then also the questions about whether these folks, some of them, are-
Who Brings the Joy?

Kamala Harris launched her campaign with the claim that she would be bringing the politics of joy. That lasted for about a day and a half. The joy in this year’s campaign came from Donald Trump and his fans. The simple “Trump dance” that he performs to “YMCA”–so simple that I might be able to do it–has swept the country. If you watch a college or pro football game, or pretty much any other sports event, you might see someone doing the Trump dance.
But that isn’t all: news anchors, politicians–including the newly elected President of Argentina–and many others have succumbed to the craze. Thus:
Las Vegas Raiders tight end Brock Bowers became the latest NFL star to nail President-elect Trump’s dance moves as a touchdown celebration.
Bowers caught a 23-yard touchdown pass from Gardner Minshew II with 1:21 left in the third quarter. The score cut the Raiders’ deficit to 17-12 against the Miami Dolphins. He had seven catches on eight targets for 85 yards at that point. He then did the move in the back of the end zone.
Bowers is the latest NFL star to do the move. San Francisco 49ers defensive end Nick Bosa and the rest of his teammates did it after he sacked Tampa Bay
The Trump transition team is compiling a list of senior current and former U.S. military officers who were directly involved in the withdrawal from Afghanistan and exploring whether they could be court-martialed for their involvement, according to a U.S. official and a person familiar with the plan.
Officials working on the transition are considering creating a commission to investigate the 2021 withdrawal from Afghanistan, including gathering information about who was directly involved in the decision-making for the military, how it was carried out, and whether the military leaders could be eligible for charges as serious as treason
An Update on Dennis Prager

Our Salem colleague Dennis Prager, who's an absolute legend in the world of conservative media, talk radio, and truth-telling, was seriously injured last Tuesday in a fall at his home, and has been hospitalized since that time. We've all been praying for Dennis to have a speedy recovery since the moment we heard the news. On Sunday afternoon Julie Hartman, Dennis' podcast partner on The Dennis and Julie Show, provided an update on Dennis' condition. She revealed that Dennis had surgery following his fall and that, "This is not a 'he will be back next week' situation. This is a long haul and a long recovery for Dennis."
Most Democrats who aren't radical left fruitcakes know that their party has drifted out of the mainstream and into Cloud Cuckoo Land.
Rhode Island Democratic National Committeeman Joseph Paolino Jr. summed up the situation as the party seeks a new national chairman.
“The progressive wing of the party has to recognize — we all have to recognize — the country’s not progressive, and not to the far left or the far right. They’re in the middle,” he said. “I’m going to look for a chair who’s going to be talking to the center

One night after the Netflix app crashed, Donald Trump crashed the gate at Madison Square Garden, making an impromptu appearance at UFC 309 — and the crowd reaction was deafening: “It’s always loud when he comes in,” UFC commentator (and podcaster extraordinaire) Joe Rogan exclaimed, “but now that he’s won, now that he’s the president again, oh my God!”
Even before he landed in New York, the president-elect and his nominee for the Department of Health and Human Services, Robert F. Kennedy Jr., were chilling on Trump Force One, taking in the early action: (No word if RFK Jr. was also watching Trump eat Big Macs and shooting him dirty looks.)
About a half dozen people, including at least one of Laken Riley’s relatives, left an Athens, Georgia, courtroom to avoid seeing videos and images of the nursing student’s lifeless body.
Emotions ran high among members of the gallery Friday at the start of the murder trial for Jose Ibarra, the undocumented migrant charged in the 22-year-old Augusta University student’s death earlier this year.
Riley, who had made the dean’s list at the university’s College of Nursing shortly before her death on February 22, was on her morning jog at the University of Georgia’s campus when prosecutors said she encountered Ibarra.

BEIRUT - An Israeli strike on a building in central Beirut on Sunday killed Hezbollah's media relations chief Mohammad Afif, two Lebanese security sources told Reuters, though there was no immediate confirmation from Hezbollah.
Israel has rarely hit senior Hezbollah personnel who do not have clear military roles, and its air strikes have mostly targeted Beirut's southern suburbs where Hezbollah has its heaviest presence. The Israeli military declined to comment in response to questions from Reuters. An Israeli military spokesperson's account on the social media platform X that often publishes evacuation orders for areas about to be bombed showed no such warning before this strike.

It was just a few weeks ago when Donald Trump held his closing rally at New York City’s famed Madison Square Garden. It was a raucous affair with appearances from Tucker Carlson, JFK Jr., JD Vance, Tulsi Gabbard, Melania Trump, House Speaker Mike Johnson, and many more.
You remember that rally—it was the one that shrill, fear-mongering Democrats compared to a Nazi hatefest: Well the people finally got their say in the matter on November 5 and they gave Trump massive wins in both the popular vote and the Electoral College, rejecting Kamala Harris and the dark vision of the Democrats. It’s unbelievable how much the world has

Senator-elect Adam Schiff (D-CA) said Sunday on CNN’s “State of the Union” that President-elect Donald Trump wanted to use the U.S. military against him.
Host Jake Tapper said, “President-elect Trump repeatedly called you the enemy from within. You and Speaker Pelosi specifically. And he said this about his enemies from within. Take a listen. On Fox News, Trump said, “I think the bigger problem are the people from within. We have some very bad people. We have some sick people, radical left lunatics, and I think they’re the and it should be very easily handled by, if necessary, by National Guard or if really necessary, by the military
House Minority Leader Hakeem Jeffries (D-NY) said Sunday on NBC’s “Meet the Press” that “America deserves better” than President-elect Donald Trump’s cabinet picks.
Host Kristen Welker said, “I want to ask you now about that report that the House Ethics committee was set to vote on to release into former Congressman Matt Gaetz, of course, President-elect Trump’s pick to be the next attorney general. Speaker Johnson is now saying that the report should not be released. What’s your reaction to what Speaker Johnson is saying?”
Jeffries said, “Of course, it should be released. And that’s not just Democrats saying that. You have repeatedly seen Senate Republicans
Gov. JB Pritzker (D-IL) pledged to launch a campaign to boost radical sex change procedures in his state in response to Donald Trump’s landslide election.
Pritzker used Transgender Awareness Week — November 12 to 19 — as a platform to showboat over the issue, Fox News reported
“This Transgender Awareness Week, I want you to know that I see you and have your back as governor,” Pritzker wrote on X. “Illinois has enshrined protections for gender-affirming care to meet this moment — and because of that, you will have a home here always.”
It’s high time to shatter the myth of Nancy Pelosi as a master strategist. Nobody deserves more blame than the ridiculously self-titled “speaker emerita” for the Democrats’ $1 billion electoral collapse.
Under her ruthless leadership, her party lost the White House, the House, the Senate and the popular vote. You can’t say that enough.
Voters rejected the Dems coast to coast, even in Pelosi’s deepest-blue home city of San Francisco, which saw a 7-point swing to Donald Trump.
She’s the only speaker in history to have lost control of the House twice.
She’s finished.
Leftwing “Morning Joe” hosts and vicious Donald Trump critics Joe Scarborough and Mika Brzezinski revealed Monday they had a “personal” sit-down with the president-elect in Florida to “restart communications” — after conceding that voters overwhelmingly made their choice.
The MSNBC co-hosts, who have repeatedly bashed the Republican on-air over the years, said they had a face-to-face with Trump at his Mar-a-Lago estate on Friday — their first meeting in seven years — after reaching out in the wake of his election win.
“Five years of political warfare has deeply divided Washington and the country.
President Biden has reportedly given Ukraine permission to deploy US-supplied longe-range missiles to attack targets in Russian territory just weeks before President-elect Donald Trump takes office.
Ukraine said it plans to take advantage of the policy change within days.
The dramatic shift in policy comes as Ukraine has faced setbacks on the battlefield and after months of requests by Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky to allow Ukraine’s military to use US weapons to hit Russian military targets far from its border.
Trump had pledged that he will end the war once he takes office in January.

PITTSBURGH and BETHLEHEM, Pa. — Democratic county officials admit they are breaking the law to overturn Pennsylvania’s Senate election for losing Sen. Bob Casey.
“I think we all know that precedent by a court doesn’t matter anymore in this country,” said Bucks County Commissioner Diane Ellis-Marseglia, who voted Thursday to count deficient provisional ballots a Pennsylvania Supreme Court order barred, in which voters did not sign in one of two necessary boxes.
“People violate laws any time they want,” Ellis-Marseglia said. “So for me, if I violate this law, it’s because I want a court to pay attention. There’s nothing more important than counting votes.”
Senator-elect Adam Schiff (D-CA) said Sunday on CNN’s “State of the Union” that he did not overstate President-elect Donald Trump’s collusion with Russia during the 2016 campaign.
Host Jake Tapper said, “I’m looking at these nominees, Tulsi Gabbard to be director of National Intelligence possibly Kash Patel to be head of the FBI. Gaetz at DOJ, RFK Jr. at HHS and others and obviously he is bringing a group of people to disrupt. I mean, that is what Speaker Johnson said. I’m wondering about how much anybody in Washington is is being introspective at all about why there is this kind of opening for disruptors, if not necessarily these individuals.

President Biden has given the OK to lift restrictions that will allow Ukraine to use U.S.-provided long-range weapons to strike deep into Russian territory, a U.S. official confirmed to CBS News on Sunday. The move is a significant change to U.S. policy in the ongoing Ukraine-Russia conflict. The easing of restrictions would allow Kyiv to use the Army Tactical Missile System, or ATACMS, to hit targets inside Russia. The move also comes as some 10,000 North Korean troops were sent to Kursk near Ukraine's northern border to help Russian forces retake territory. The White House National Security Council declined to

Democratic lawmakers are admitting that they may have missed the mark in the 2024 election and are calling on their colleagues to stop 'preaching down' to Americans.
And Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez (R-N.Y.) says that her party could learn a thing-or-two from Republicans after their sweeping wins this election cycle that will see the GOP with a trifecta in the House, Senate and White House next year.
Asked why Democrats lost, Rep. Jared Moskowitz (D-Fla.) said his party needs to stop 'canceling' people that might disagree with them on something.
Business is booming at a historic New York City bakery after Whoopi Goldberg claimed it refused to fill her order due to her political views, which the owner has vehemently denied.
On ABC’s the View last week, Goldberg accused an unnamed bakery of declining to deliver an order of “Charlotte Russe” desserts for her birthday, but received them anyway after sending someone else to pick them up:
(X Video) “My birthday dessert today was one of my mom’s favorites from when she was a kid, she talked about these all the time, they’re called Charlotte Russe. It’s a sponge cake with whipped cream and a cherry on top.
ivek Ramaswamy said on this week’s broadcast of FNC’s “Sunday Morning Futures” that the soon-to-be-formed Department of Government Efficiency (DOGE) will “delete” some government agencies.
Ramaswamy said, “Over the last 40 years, even conservatives, we’ve talked a big game for 40 years about cutting the federal government, about reducing the scope of the federal government. Politicians haven’t been able to do it. And so Elon and I, we’re not politicians. We’re businessmen. We’re coming at it from the outside. Sometimes, if you go inside, you become native to the system.”
