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:

Chair of the House Oversight Committee, James Comer (R-KY), revealed that a new whistleblower has come forward alleging another incident of discrimination at the Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA). The allegations point to a FEMA contractor who suggested disaster victims with signs supporting Donald Trump outside their homes were viewed by officials as "domestic terrorists."
The allegations are nothing short of startling, and if true, they would blow a massive hole in the testimony provided by agency Administrator Deanne Criswell.
Criswell, testifying before the committee, insisted an incident in Lake Placid, Florida, in which a supervisor directed employees to avoid any damaged homes with Trump
Tech billionaire Elon Musk publicly backed President-elect Trump’s pick for attorney general, former Rep. Matt Gaetz (R-Fla.), pushing back against concerns over allegations of misconduct against him.
Musk, in a statement early Tuesday on the social platform X, noted Gaetz has “an axe to grind,” which he said was necessary for the job. “Matt Gaetz has 3 critical assets that are needed for the AG role: a big brain, a spine of steel and an axe to grind,” Musk wrote. “He is the Judge Dredd America needs to clean up a corrupt system and put powerful bad actors in prison.”
“Gaetz will be our Hammer of Justice,” he added.

Two women testified to the House Ethics Committee that they were paid for “sexual favors” by former Rep. Matt Gaetz, President-elect Donald Trump’s pick for attorney general, a lawyer for the two women told CNN’s Erin Burnett on Monday.
Additionally, one of the women testified to the congressional panel that she witnessed Gaetz having sex with her then-underage friend in 2017, the lawyer, Joel Leppard, said on “OutFront.” CNN reported that detail Friday.
Gaetz has repeatedly denied any wrongdoing. Leppard said it was his client’s testimony that she did not believe Gaetz knew at the time that her friend was underage.
Russian president Vladimir Putin revised Russia’s nuclear doctrine Tuesday, reducing its threshold for using nuclear weapons just as the Russian military announced that Ukraine had launched long-range missiles supplied by the U.S. into Russian territory.
Putin’s new nuclear doctrine proclaims that Russia can use nuclear weapons in response to an attack from a non-nuclear state with support from a nuclear state, a clear reference to U.S. support for Ukraine. The doctrine formalizes a policy Putin announced in September during a televised meeting with top officials. “[Russian] President [Vladimir Putin] gave the relevant instructions prior.
More polls?, I hear you cry. The election's over! And I get it, I really do, but ... you'll like this one. Trust me.
Puck News partnered up with Echelon Insights to determine how Donald Trump's supposedly outrageous Cabinet selections had impacted his post-election popularity. The mainstream media spent the last two weeks freaking out over Trump's election and then most of last week painting his nominations as evidence of the End Times.
How did that impact Trump's standing with the electorate? Just the way you'd imagine after voters rejected the Happy Happy Joy Joy cheerleading for Kamala Harris. Trump may have reached new levels of popularity for his political career
The Democratic Party is at a crossroads.
With each election cycle, the same old questions resurface: Who should lead the party? How can Democrats reconnect with voters in the heartland? And why does the party keep bleeding support among working-class Americans?
Last week, David Axelrod tossed a name into the ring for the next DNC chair: Rahm Emanuel. Predictably, this suggestion set off a firestorm—none louder than from Representative Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez, whose critique of the Democratic establishment feels more at home in a Tea Party playbook than in traditional Democratic discourse.
Melania Trump will again be the First Lady of the United States — and perhaps, this time, the media will treat her as such.
Not one magazine bothered to feature Mrs. Trump on its cover during President Donald Trump’s entire first term, despite her philanthropic work on the “Be Best” anti-bullying campaign, and despite her long and storied career as a cover model (née Melania Knauss) in high demand before her husband entered the political fray.
Breitbart News was the only outlet to feature the First Lady, frequently noting her fashion choices, which were often inspired and original. In contrast, the media had gushed over First Lady Michelle Obama’s outfits
President-elect Trump announced that he is nominating former Congressman Sean Duffy of Wisconsin, who is also a Fox News contributor and FOX Business co-host, to serve as the U.S. Secretary of Transportation. "Sean has been a tremendous and well-liked public servant, starting his career as a District Attorney for Ashland, Wisconsin, and later elected to the U.S. House of Representatives for Wisconsin's 7th Congressional District," Trump said in his announcement on Monday. "Sean will use his experience and the relationships he has built over many years in Congress to maintain and rebuild our Nation’s Infrastructure,
A Georgia appeals court on Monday canceled until further notice oral arguments on an effort by President-elect Donald Trump and other co-defendants to remove Fulton County District Attorney Fani Willis from the criminal election interference prosecution against them.
The Georgia Court of Appeals acted on its own in canceling the arguments scheduled for Dec. 5. The court did not explain its reason for the move.
Three other criminal cases against Trump have been put in limbo since the Republican won the presidential election nearly two weeks ago.
Trump and the other defendants are charged in state court in Atlanta with crimes
President-elect Donald Trump‘s unconventional selections for his second White House term have shocked Washington and bucked the traditional GOP establishment.
However, that team of disruptors may be exactly what he wants after voters soundly rejected Vice President Kamala Harris and ushered in Republican total control of the White House, Senate, and House. Unlike his 2016 win, Trump will return to the White House with day-one experience with how Washington operates and a clearer understanding of the staff who dare to undo the status quo. He also knows who will be loyal to him, as evidenced by those who stood by him when he was

Stay at Roosevelt Hotel, Flight to Georgia 10 replies
The illegal immigrant on trial for allegedly murdering Georgia nursing student Laken Riley earlier this year received a taxpayer-funded stay at a fancy hotel in New York City and a subsequent flight to Atlanta, Georgia.
The roommate of suspected murderer Jose Antonio Ibarra testified at his criminal trial Monday and revealed that Ibarra stayed at the Roosevelt Hotel in Midtown Manhattan before taking a “humanitarian flight” to Atlanta last fall with her.
Through a translator, Rosebeli Flores-Bello said they left the Roosevelt Hotel for Atlanta around September 10 of last year and flew into the Hartsfield-Jackson International Airport. From there

Last week, I reported that the left was abandoning the X platform in favor of the left-leaning Twitter knock-off, Bluesky. I also made an easy prediction; that it would devolve into an over-censored mess of bubbled rage and ideological rigidity.
And it looks like I'm already being proven right. A new account has popped up on X called "LibsofBluesky" which has begun documenting all the wacky things the left is doing over at their new platform, and true to form, the occupants spend a lot of time cursing X, cursing Trump, cursing you, and of course, attacking each other. Like shaken bugs in a jar, the left are lashing out

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
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.

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
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.
Leftists have a master plan to ensure that President-elect Donald Trump’s economy tanks: They are not going to buy anything.
Leftists across the country are still reeling from Trump’s historic comeback victory, which saw him sweeping all seven swing states, garnering 312 electoral votes and also winning the popular vote after making historic gains in traditionally blue areas.
There was a sizable shift in the electorate and a clear mandate for change, but some leftists ardently disagree and have a plan to tank what everyone anticipates to be a strong economy under Trump’s leadership.

President-elect Donald Trump confirmed Monday he would declare a “national emergency” to deport illegal migrants using military force once he steps back into office.
Trump made the statement on Truth Social, responding “TRUE!!!” in response to a post from Judicial Watch’s Tom Fitton saying there are reports he would do so.
“GOOD NEWS: Reports are the incoming @RealDonaldTrump administration prepared to declare a national emergency and will use military assets to reverse the Biden invasion through a mass deportation program,” Fitton wrote on the social media platform.
A hacker is said to have gained access to a trove of damaging files related to Matt Gaetz, including testimony from a woman who claims they had sex when she was 17.
A file of 23 exhibits related to allegations against Donald Trump's pick to be Attorney General were accessed by a man using the pseudonym Altam Beezley, The New York Times reported.
The documents are said include sworn testimony from two witnesses at the center of the lurid claims against Gaetz.
A Russian ballet dancer who was an outspoken critic of Russia’s war in Ukraine has mysteriously plunged to his death from the fifth floor of a building.

Russian authorities initially labeled the fall an accident, blaming the painkillers he was taking before a complex spinal surgery.

It should not come as a surprise to see the same methods deployed against President Trump in 2024 that were used by the FBI in 2016. The difference is now that President Trump understands the full power of his office in the security clearance process and that he doesn’t need the FBI.
In 2016 the FBI used their power to conduct security clearances as a tool to stall and block President Trump appointments. (snip)However, in 2024 President-Elect Trump and his transition team have already taken a different approach.
The Obamas Get Their Comeuppance

The one person who knew that the Joe Biden presidency was something other than “Obama’s third term” was Barack Obama. If Obama had any illusions about his control over events, he was rudely disabused of them on July 21, 2024. This was the Sunday on which Biden dropped out of the presidential race and endorsed Kamala Harris.
The announcements caught Obama flatfooted. Biden had not consulted with his former boss either on his decision to drop out nor on his decision to endorse Harris. At 12:46 p.m. EDT, Biden posted on X his intention to withdraw.
