Pete Hegseth's Stand
Posted By: Imright, 12/7/2024 11:55:44 PM
Since President Trump nominated Pete Hegseth as the next U.S. Defense Secretary, the knives have been out for him. First, they belittled him by claiming he was merely co-host of “Fox & Friends Weekend." Even now, in their myriad hit pieces, Hegseth is referred to as the former Fox News host, the implication being that he is a lightweight. After graduating from Princeton University in 2003, Hegseth was commissioned as an infantry officer in the Army National Guard. He volunteered to serve in Iraq and Afghanistan and was awarded the Bronze Star. Yet he’s never referred to as a military veteran. Let's look at the allegations so far.

Israel Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu will reportedly attend the inauguration of President-elect Donald Trump on January 20.
The Times of Israel reported that a source close to Netanyahu’s office confirmed the trip has been under consideration and that “no final decision has yet been made on the matter.” “Netanyahu is due to begin giving testimony on Tuesday in his criminal trial, which would need to break to allow for the trip,” noted the outlet.Netanyahu’s visitation would come at a time when Israel has made considerable gains with its war against Hamas in the Gaza war through its weakening of Hezbollah in Lebanon. As Breitbart News reported this weekend,

In a move signaling the start of his new administration, President-elect Donald Trump said he would issue sweeping pardons to those convicted in connection with the January 6 Capitol Hill protests after outgoing President Joe Biden pardoned his corrupt son, Hunter Biden, despite vowing not to. Trump’s move would fulfill a campaign promise that free those who were politically persecuted by the left. During an interview on “Meet the Press,” host Kristen Welker asked if he had plans to pardon the individuals who entered the Capitol building on January 6,
Donald Trump dished to The Post on the power-grip handshakes he shared with French President Emanuel Macon during their meeting over the weekend — with the President-Elect insisting it was no big deal.
“It’s just a firm shake. He understands that. It’s just a firm shake,” Trump told The Post.
Their handshakes became the talk online Saturday when they met up before Notre Dame cathedral’s re-opening ceremony in Paris, with Trump administering two particularly aggressive iterations of his characteristic grip as he and Macron posed for the press. (Photo)
President Joe Biden’s Department of Health and Human Services (HHS) celebrated yet another LGBTQ+ holiday on Sunday, paying homage to “Pansexual and Panromantic Pride Day” in a post to X.
“Today on Pansexual and Panromantic Pride Day, everyone deserves to feel seen, respected and supported—no matter who they love. Create a world where everyone feels proud to be themselves!” the HHS post reads.
The post was met with many comments slamming the Biden administration’s priorities and looking forward to the coming Trump administration in January. (X) “At this point, I’m just confused. I have no idea what they even mean,” Elon Musk responded.
Sen. John Fetterman stunned The View co-host when he claimed that Donald Trump's New York City trial should also be pardoned.
The Pennsylvania Democrat admitted that the case against Trump was politically motivated as he compared it to the same sort of weaponization of the Justice system against President Joe Biden's son Hunter.
The parallel left liberal television personality Joy Behar barely able to speak. 'I think it's undeniable that the case against Hunter Biden was really politically motivated, but I also think it's true that the trial in New York for Trump, that was political as well,

Donald Trump has made a suggestive statement about a viral intimate moment he shared with Jill Biden during a trip to Notre Dame.
Pictures of the soon-to-be president with the smiling First Lady at the reopening of the Notre Dame Cathedral in Paris, France, sent social media users into a frenzy.
Many claimed that Jill looked incredibly animated during the cordial rendezvous - as the partisan pair leaned into one another and made small talk in the City of Love. And Trump, 78, has now monopolized on the viral comments, implying that Mrs Biden is attracted to him by sharing a screenshot of the moment on Truth Social.
President-elect Donald Trump said Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky is ready for “peace” as he dished on his meetings with world leaders — and Jill Biden — during his trip to Paris for the reopening of Notre Dame.
The incoming president revealed Sunday details of his conversations with world leaders on his first trip abroad since winning a second term, including a trilateral meeting with French President Emmanuel Macron and Zelensky.
“He wants to make peace,” Trump told The Post in a phone interview. “That’s new. (Photo)
“He wants to have a ceasefire,” he added. “He wants to make peace. We didn’t talk about the details.
President-elect Donald Trump said during an interview over the weekend that he will not give special treatment to ally Elon Musk over Musk’s competitors.
Trump made the remarks during a Sunday NBC News interview with Kristen Welker on “Meet The Press” when asked about Musk, who was the largest donor during the 2024 election.
“Will you favor Elon Musk over other leaders of competitor companies, like Jeff Bezos?” Welker asked.
“No, Jeff Bezos called me. We’re having dinner,” Trump said. “As you know, Mark Zuckerberg came in. We had a really nice dinner. He asked to have dinner. I had dinner with him. I’m having dinner with everybody.
President-elect Donald Trump revealed that he was “open” to Robert F. Kennedy Jr. looking into the link between vaccines and autism.
During an interview on NBC News’s Meet the Press with host Kristen Welker, Trump was asked if he wanted “to see childhood vaccines eliminated.” Trump admitted that if the vaccines are “dangerous for the children” he would want to see them eliminated and noted that if you “go back 25 years, autism was almost non-existent.”
“Sir, going back 25 years, studies show that there is no link between vaccines and autism, yet it sounds like you are open to the possibility of him
Biden Claims Credit for Toppling Assad
13 replies
President Joe Biden delivered a short address from the White House on Sunday, claiming credit for the toppling of the regime of Syrian dictator Bashar Assad, who was ousted by rebels after a long and brutal reign lasting decades.
Biden claimed that a combination of U.S. policies — isolating Assad; tying Russia down in Ukraine; and allowing Israel freedom of action against Iran and its Hezbollah proxy — weakened the regime and left it without defenders.
Biden said: Over the past four years, my administration pursued a clear, principled policy towards Syria. First, we made clear from the start that sanctions on Assad would remain in place unless
Donald Trump appeared on NBC’s “Meet the Press” Sunday and laid into (soon to be former) FBI Director Christopher Wray over his participation in the weaponization of the Justice Department that has taken place under the Biden-Harris regime. The president-elect was angered that Wray “invaded” his home during the FBI’s August 2002 Mar-a-Lago raid in the classified documents case and also that the director spread conspiracy theories about the July assassination attempt on Trump.KRISTEN WELKER:
Sir, are you going to fire the current FBI director, Christopher Wray, who you appointed?
PRESIDENT-ELECT DONALD TRUMP:
Well, I can’t say I’m thrilled with him. He invaded my home.

Pope Francis unveiled the annual nativity scene at the Vatican over the weekend - raising some eyebrows in the process.
A noticeable addition this year saw the seminal scene's baby Jesus draped in a keffiyeh - a traditional scarf used by Palestinians as a national symbol. Jesus was born into a Jewish family in Bethlehem some 2,000 years ago - and his death triggered the birth of Christianity. A statement from the wheelchair-bound pontiff, moreover, saw him humbly ask onlookers for peace in the Middle East, weeks after he called for an investigation into what he said may be a 'genocide' occurring in the Gaza Strip.
According to The College Fix, “President Joe Biden’s Department of Education has proposed a student loan forgiveness plan to take effect after President-elect Donald Trump takes office in January”
This follows a series of student loan debt forgiveness by the Biden regime.
According to The College Fix,”While the Department of Education puts the estimated cost at $112 billion, one analyst called it a “gross underestimate” and suggested the cost could be five times larger.”
“According to the new proposal, this act would “specify the Secretary’s authority to waive all or part of any student loan debts owed to the Department based on the Secretary’s determination that a borrower has experienced
The Political Castration of Joni Ernst

When your opening line is, “I’m Joni Ernst, I grew up castrating hogs on an Iowa farm,” not only do you have our attention — you’ve got us squirming in our seats. (Ouch.)
Before the castration spot aired, Ernst was struggling to raise money, trailing Republican frontrunner Mark Jacobs by several points for the GOP nomination. Conservative women — including Sarah Palin — found the ad humorous, endorsed her candidacy, and helped Ernst build her war chest. Within months, she was the undisputed frontrunner.
And in 2020, she was elected to her second term in the Senate

The re-opening of the Notre Dame Cathedral, which suffered extensive fire damage in 2019, occurred on Saturday, and dozens of world leaders were on hand for the festivities. There was one notable absence, though. President Joe Biden was nowhere to be found. Instead, Jill Biden showed up with her daughter. That alone spurred questions given the president has long claimed to be a "devout Catholic." Yet, he couldn't be bothered to show up for a once-in-a-lifetime event that other world leaders flocked to? Of course, while the White House will likely claim a scheduling conflict (there was nothing on the president's schedule for Saturday),
This is too funny. For President Trump at Notre Dame, it’s an ordinary walk to his seat, except something happened.
It starts out with Poland’s President Andrzej Duda standing up to greet President Donald Trump. They are friends, and Duda is one of the EU heads of state that is seriously thrilled to see President Trump return (Hungary’s Orban is another). However, after Duda stands things get funny because all the other dignitaries then feel obligated to stand and greet President Trump.
President Trump ended up turning his simple walk to his seat, into a reception line of foreign dignitaries who stood at attention to greet him.

According to Reuters, “Syrian rebels announced they gained full control over the key city of Homs early on Sunday after only a day of fighting, leaving President Bashar al-Assad’s 24-year rule dangling by a thread as insurgents marched on the capital, Damascus.”
Responding to the situation on the ground, President Elect Donald Trump says we should stay out of it. Meanwhile a joint statement was released from officials from Qatar, Saudi Arabia, Jordan, Egypt, Iraq, Iran, Turkey and Russia after an emergency meeting in Doha.
Another CNN anchor is saying farewell. Journalist Alisyn Camerota announced on Instagram Sunday that she is leaving the network after a decade. Sharing a photo of herself behind her desk, Camerota wrote, "Big News, Everyone! − today is my last day on CNN." She did not immediately reveal her next steps but said she would sign off Sunday afternoon on CNN and will share updates with followers. USA TODAY has reached out to CNN for comment.

In an interview on “Meet the Press,” President-elect Donald Trump outlined his plan for immigration policy, emphasizing deportation for those in the United States illegally. Trump expressed a commitment to removing illegal immigrants, starting with those who have committed crimes and expanding to others without specifying which crimes would be prioritized. This approach may also involve U.S. citizens choosing to leave with family members who are undocumented. Trump’s stance reiterates a key aspect of his campaign platform. He also suggested terminating birthright citizenship via executive action, forecasting potential legal opposition.
The final report from Oversight on the COVID-19 pandemic has been released, and and it is clear that the government’s handling of the crisis was a failure on nearly every front. Not only did government officials repeatedly mislead Americans about the origin of the virus and U.S. funding of gain-of-function research, but the various mandates, and the failure to adopt early interventions such as hydroxychloroquine and ivermectin likely caused hundreds of thousands of unnecessary deaths.
December is here, the election has been over for a month, Trump has picked out his cabinet and California is still counting the votes. And will go on counting them until the Dems win.
Considering Trump’s landslide victory, California had a difficult task ahead of it, but it has already managed to flip the seats held by Rep. Mike Garcia, Rep. Michelle Steel and just stole the seat held by Rep. John Duarte.
In Duarte’s 13th congressional district, California Dems have taken a month to count a little over 210,000 votes. That’s an impressive achievement considering that the proverbial Florida Man seems able to count the votes on Election night.

John Lennon: Musician, advocate...closet Republican?
The singer's former assistant claims in a new documentary that Lennon was a Ronald Reagan fan and a conservative at the time of his death.
The Toronto Sun reports that Fred Seaman, Lennon's assistant from 1979 until his death in 1980, made the revelations in the documentary "Beatles Stories."
"John, basically, made it very clear that if he were an American he would vote for Reagan because he was really sour on Jimmy Carter," Seaman reportedly told filmmaker Seth Swirsky.
