Secretary Hegseth Threatens the Deep State

Original Article

Posted By: JoElla Bee, 4/24/2025 9:08:11 PM

It’s been three months since Vice President Vance cast the tie-breaking vote to confirm Pete Hegseth as Defense secretary.  The Deep State worked hard to scuttle Hegseth’s nomination in December and January with a steady drip of news stories calling his character into question[Snip] Make no mistake: The silly attempts to create a public “narrative” that Secretary Hegseth threatens national security are part of the same Intelligence Community operation that targeted him last winter.  It’s quite revealing how desperate the Deep State is to keep “outsiders” away from the levers of power, isn’t it?

I'm sure PDJT 2.0's picks will do their best to rid s of these venomous vermin who infest the DC Deep Swamp, but I fear JD Vance will have plenty for his picks to do to continue PDJT 2.0's quest.

The media are no longer financed by subscribers. There are very few. The media is financed by billionaires, foreigners, and us, through NGOs, to push their propaganda.

Another portrait of President Donald Trump is going up in the White House, and its position is tickling social media users. The art, which features a photo of a steely-eyed Trump with stars and stripes imposed over his face, is snuggled between two portraits of former First Ladies Laura Bush and Hillary Clinton. It is located outside the East Wing, where First Lady Melania Trump has her offices. It is also in a central location where visitors pass through during their tours of the White House. It is also the same artwork that Trump features in his Truth Social profile picture.

The Chinese Communist Party has done what no foreign adversary should ever be able to do in the United States. It has managed to infiltrate our media, our institutions, our businesses, and even our government without facing any real consequences.[Snip] Even more disturbing is the political influence the CCP has managed to establish within our borders. China has worked tirelessly to cultivate relationships with U.S. politicians, funding lobbying efforts, business partnerships, and even election campaigns. We now have mayors, governors, and members of Congress who refuse to challenge China’s growing grip because they fear losing funding or because they are directly compromised.

The Atlantic felt their story was dying.

A woke California PhD student is going viral online after declining a coveted NASA internship she spent “years” seeking — and she’s blaming “the current administration” for her shocking decision. Daniela Lucas, a 26-year-old bioengineering student at UC San Diego, recently uploaded a TikTok video showing her dramatically selecting “Decline Offer” for an internship in NASA’s Human Health and Performance program. “No one tells you how hard it is to reject an offer from your dream internship at NASA because of the current administration,” Lucas, 26, wrote over the video. “I worked years to receive this letter, just to have to decline,” she added, including a crying face and devil emoji.

Here at American Thinker, we predicted that AOC is a real possibility as the 2028 Democrat party presidential candidate. Yesterday, AOC made it plain that she thinks so, too. AOC’s appeal to the left is obvious: She’s female, glib, telegenic, well-recognized, vaguely Hispanic, antisemitic, and a truly leftist ideologue. Bernie Sanders rightly sees her as the bridge between his old-fashioned class warfare and the new multi-culti warfare, both vehicles for the Marxist overthrow of the West. That’s why the two of them have been appearing in venues across America to rally the true believers.

Johns is the executive director of the National Black Justice Coalition, a black LGBT group that aims to fight "anti-Blackness."
