Trump Needs to Make an Example of General Milley
Posted By: DW626, 12/3/2024 1:55:11 PM
In dealing with his enemies in the Deep State, President Trump could follow one of two paths. One would be the path of peace, reconciliation, and forgiveness. This would certainly be easier in the short term and also garner approval from insiders and the media. Alternatively, he could seek to clean house and punish the worst and most insubordinate offenders from his first term. Which path Trump should take all depends on whether one believes the last eight years were normal partisan squabbles or if one believes that something monumental happened

A former Houston FBI agent has been convicted for repeatedly stealing money while conducting searches, including from a Jan. 6 protestor.
Nicholas Anthony Williams stole more than $10,000 during searches and faces up to 10 years in federal prison and potentially a $250,000 fine. He was convicted in September and will be sentenced in January. This incident highlights once again the corruption within the FBI, the need for reform, and also the unfair treatment of Jan. 6 protestors.
Federal court documents, according to Houston Public Media, detail how Williams — who was on the criminal violent gang and counterterrorism squads

What the Democrats never do?
5 replies
The word on the streets of D.C. and among the media swells is that Democrats are demoralized, shocked, and devastated, that they are blaming everyone but themselves and Kamala Harris for their losses. Only Carville is furious at the right people — young, arrogant campaign workers and Kamala herself. Curiously, it was Carville who once said “When you dehumanize a group, there’s lasting consequences because they know that they’re being dehumanized.” Well dehumanize us they certainly did. And even Carville realized that Kamala was a terrible candidate; Walz was worse.
Just How Stupid Do They Think We Are?

The more I think about Joe Biden's pardon of his bagman/tax-cheat son, Hunter, the angrier I get — but maybe not for the reason you think.
As I'm sure you're well aware by now, père Biden's blanket pardon forgives all of Hunter's transgressions going back ten years, when father (then vice president) and son were both playing footsie with Vladimir Putin's old cronies in Kyiv. Burisma? Pardoned. Million-dollar tax evasion? Ditto. Gun offenses, all of it.
Then there's the Big Lie because it isn't Joe Biden without one.
They say crime doesn’t pay, and in the case of Hunter Biden, one could certainly say that the criminal doesn’t pay. A man to whom Hunter reportedly owes over $300,000 is not exactly thrilled at Hunter‘s blanket pardon from his senile father.
Despite ample evidence of sexual crimes (including potential sex trafficking and pedophilia), tax evasion, illegal possession of a firearm, and participating in his father‘s illicit foreign influence/money laundering, Hunter Biden has received a pardon from Old Joe, who thereby breaks his promise
Late Sunday night and as one of his final acts, President Joe Biden officially pardoned his son, Hunter Biden. The younger Biden's crimes, which were conducted on behalf of the entire family, were broadly wiped away. In fact, the pardon spans from 2014-2024. For years President Biden publicly claimed he wouldn't pardon his son, a point that was often reiterated by White House Press Secretary Karine Jean Pierre. And yet, the deed is done and now Democrats are at each others throats over the move.
It's not easy being George Clooney these days.
The realization has finally hit him that Obama, his best friend forever, used him for a patsy in the recent election.
First he had him hold a fundraiser for Joe Biden, where he could clearly see Joe's senilkity, and then he had Clooney write the editorial for the New York Times calling on Democrats to get that guy out of there. Now that the electoral disaster has happened for the Democrats as a result, Obama has left Clooney holding the bag.
Academia’s Real Blind Spot

Over at Quillette our friend Heather Mac Donald is having fun with academic David W. Blight of Yale and his piece in the New York Times:
Academia must grapple with its blind spots, he argues, in order to understand why blue-collar workers voted for an “authoritarian in a red tie” in the recent US presidential election.
But Blight, “a scholar of American race relations and the Civil War,” believes “that MAGA enthusiasts are the ‘equivalent of the 1850s Slave Power who seek to spread a ‘deadly poison’ of authoritarianism throughout the body politic.”
He should know. Blight is the author of a 350-page report on “Yale and Slavery.”
Joe Biden Pardons Hunter Biden

Outgoing President Joe Biden has pardoned his son, Hunter Biden, just weeks before he leaves office, after initially promising not to do so.
“Today, I signed a pardon for my son Hunter," Biden wrote in a statement. "From the day I took office, I said I would not interfere with the Justice Department’s decision-making, and I kept my word even as I have watched my son being selectively, and unfairly, prosecuted.”
“Without aggravating factors like use in a crime, multiple purchases, or buying a weapon as a straw purchaser
A Disaster Foretold

The myth of Laocoön is tragic. In vain, he warned his countrymen in Troy against opening the gate to the colossal wooden horse left behind by Greek invaders. However, he was blinded by the gods who then had him killed by giant sea serpents.
So, it is not as if it has not been foretold. As a matter of fact, it has been the subject of countless essays, speeches, and novels. We cannot plead ignorance.
In retrospect, the “Rivers of Blood” speech by British Member of Parliament Enoch Powell, a modern Laocoön, on April 20, 1968, ranks as a milestone. It marked a historical break with the politely restrained,
Unelected bureaucrat Dr. Anthony Fauci, now a private citizen, is still enjoying an extravagant lifestyle courtesy of U.S. taxpayers.
Since January 2023, one month after he left the federal government, $15 million in tax dollars have been spent on security services for Fauci, including a fully staffed U.S. Marshals security detail, according to an OpenTheBooks.com investigation.
Through a Freedom of Information Act (FOIA) request, OpenTheBooks.com uncovered an "unprecedented" arrangement — officially termed a "memorandum of understanding" — between the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services (HHS) and the U.S. Marshals Service
Elon Musk and Alexander Vindman, who came to relevance with his involvement as a witness in the first impeachment against then President Donald Trump, are now feuding over X, with some pretty serious charges flying around.
Back in October, Vindman gave an interview to MSNBC that is once more circulating, in which he took shots at Musk and Trump by claiming he was working for Russian President Vladimir Putin. Do liberals really have nothing else? As Brett T covered at our sister site of Twitchy, there's plenty of clips circulating, with many users pointing out that Musk should sue Vindman for defamation.

It's not a procedure you'd expect a 28-year-old to be planning. But for Lydia Echols from Texas, having her fallopian tubes removed is the price she's willing to pay to ensure her reproductive rights. Newsweek spoke to five women who have either undergone sterilization procedures or plan to in the wake of President-elect Donald Trump's victory on November 5. They all expressed fear their reproductive choices will be taken from them under Trump's administration. "If I am to be denied any rights in the next four (or more) years, I will not give them up without a fight," Echols said.

with Ron DeSantis as Defense secretary
pick: report 41 replies
President-elect Donald Trump is considering replacing Pete Hegseth, his controversial pick to lead the Pentagon, with one-time 2024 rival, Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis, people familiar with the discussions told The Wall Street Journal Tuesday.
The move comes as Hegseth, a 44-year-old Army veteran and former Fox News personality, faces increasing scrutiny over allegations of sexual misconduct and financial mismanagement. The defense secretary post requires Senate confirmation and Hegseth faces an increasingly uphill battle to win over GOP members with concerns about his past.
Whoopi Goldberg and her lefty cohorts on “The View” went to the mat Monday in defense of President Biden’s sweeping pardon of his son Hunter, writing it off as just “what presidents do” and dismissing criticism of the controversial move as “foolish” and “pearl-clutching.”
Goldberg launched straight into her defense of Biden during the ABC TV show’s “Hot Topics” segment by rattling off a list of people President-elect Donald Trump pardoned during his first term, including Roger Stone and Michael Flynn.
“That’s what presidents do every time. They do it every time, they pardon somebody, so I’m not sure why the pearl-clutching is happening now,
Democrat Adam Gray has won California's 13th Congressional District race, defeating incumbent Republican Rep. John Duarte, according to The Associated Press.
California's 13th Congressional District was the last seat to be called, with the district being one of the most competitive races in the Golden State. Republicans maintained the majority with 220, with Democrats trailing at 216.
Gray, a former state legislator who represented California's 21st Assembly District from 2012 to 2022, is considered a centrist Democrat who focused on key concerns for farmers in the Central Valley like water shortages.

Daniel Penny was greeted with shouts of “Guilty!” as he arrived in court Monday morning ahead of closing arguments in his lightning-rod Manhattan manslaughter trial in the chokehold death of Jordan Neely.
Penny, 26, strolled into Manhattan Supreme Court around 10:15 a.m. flanked by his attorneys Thomas Kenniff and Steven Raiser — as a 12-person jury will hear final remarks from prosecutors and the defense before the panel begins deliberations.
A group of a dozen protesters chanted, “Guilty! Guilty! Guilty!” as the Marine veteran exited a black SUV outside the 100 Centre St. courthouse.
“What do we want? Justice! When do we want it? Now!” the demonstrators shouted.
The Biden administration might be in its final days but that doesn’t mean the flow of lethal U.S. weaponry to Ukraine shows any sign of slowing. Far from it.
That was confirmed Monday when an additional $725 million in military assistance, including counter-drone systems and munitions for its High Mobility Artillery Rocket System (HIMARS), was announced by the White House.
AP reports it is unclear whether the munitions for the HIMARS are the coveted ATACMS — the Army Tactical Missile System — but Ukraine has been pressing for more of the longer-range missiles to strike additional targets inside Russia.
As the Biden regime prepares to exit, it has orchestrated a move as a cunning attempt to undermine the incoming Trump administration’s agenda to streamline government operations.
In a last-minute deal, the Biden regime has locked in telework protections for 42,000 Social Security Administration (SSA) employees until 2029.
The agreement, reached with the American Federation of Government Employees (AFGE), ensures remote work privileges for these federal workers for the next five years, despite the Trump administration’s explicit plans to slash such arrangements, according to Bloomberg.
California Gov. Gavin Newsom (D) convened the state legislature for a special session on Monday designed to “Trump-proof” the state, including by passing $25 million for use in lawsuits against the incoming administration.
As Breitbart News noted after the election in November, Newsom announced the special session — not to deal with pressing problems facing the state, but rather for the political purpose of leading the so-called “resistance” (i.e. opposition) to President-elect Donald Trump. Trump responded on Truth Social, saying Newsom was “using the term ‘Trump-Proof’ as a way of stopping all of the GREAT things that can be done to ‘Make California Great Again’.”
CHANNAHON, Ill. -- Lion Electric, which manufactures electric buses, will suspend its operations at its Channahon facility, the company announced in a press release Tuesday. The company announced the suspension of operations at the plant as well as temporary layoffs of about 400 workers across the company, which is based in Canada. The layoffs leave Lion Electric with about 300 workers. The plant in Channahon opened in July of 2023 and was set to produce up to 20,000 vehicles a year. The plant was the first dedicated vehicle assembly plant in the Chicago area since 1965. In a statement, Joliet Mayor
Rachel Maddow lookalike and outspoken billionaire Trump Hater, Mark Cuban, and far-left NBA Hall of Famer Charles Barkley have seemingly thrown their hats in the ring for the Democratic ticket for the White House in 2028.
Cuban is so far-left and disliked by Trump supporters that he’s been hit with an endless supply of memes comparing his looks and personality to far-left MSNBC crank Rachel Maddow.
Enjoy this one: [Tweet]
In an appearance last week on “The Steam Room” podcast with Ernie Johnson and Barkley, Cuban gave his reaction to the 2024 election results, comparing it to the “horrible feeling” of losing a basketball game,
An unknown disease has killed 143 people in the Congo in an outbreak that has alarmed health officials and the World Health Organization. Patients suffered from flu-like symptoms, including a high fever and severe headache, local officials say, with women and children reported to be most seriously affected. Deaths are being recorded in Kwango province, in the Southwest of the Democratic Republic of the Congo (DRC) and on its border with Angola. (Snip) Officials say the situation is 'extremely worrying' and that the death toll is rising rapidly. On November 25, they had reported 67 deaths from the disease. Patients
