Susan Rice Throws a Tantrum
Posted By: Dreadnought, 4/26/2025 6:04:12 PM
Susan Rice got fired the other day by Pete Hegseth. As a member of the Pentagon's Defense Policy Board Advisory Committee for the last two years, she was canned along with a number of others because the DOD Director decided that their services were no longer needed. Rice, a long-time government employee and ally of the Obama-Biden kabal, wasted no time in going on both social media and MSNBC to whine and stomp her feet. Calling Hegseth "dumb as a rock," Rice said: Well, if you’re a white male Christian cisgender macho MAGA man, you can be as dumb as a rock

At least 11 people are confirmed dead — including “very young people” — after a crazed driver sped an SUV through revelers at a Vancouver block party, officials confirmed.
The suspect — a still unidentified 30-year-old man from Vancouver — was “known” to law enforcement after a “significant” history with police interactions, and was also well known to health-care professionals related to mental health,” interim Vancouver Police Chief Steve Rai told reporters Sunday. In addition to the dead, dozens more are injured after the Saturday attack at the celebration for Filipino Lapu Lapu Day, and police cautioned that more victims could succumb to their injuries.
The Columbia University janitors who were held hostage during the violent takeover of a campus building last spring are suing their alleged captors for battery, assault, and conspiracy to violate their civil rights, according to a copy of the suit reviewed exclusively by The Free Press.
The lawsuit was filed in federal court on Friday evening by Torridon Law and the Louis D. Brandeis Center for Human Rights Under Law on behalf of Columbia janitors Mario Torres and Lester Wilson. It alleges that over 40 Columbia students and “outside agitators,” some but not all of whom

At least eight people have been killed and 750 injured in a massive explosion at one of Iran's key ports, authorities say.
The blast took place at Shahid Rajaee, the country's largest commercial port, near the southern city of Bandar Abbas on Saturday morning.
It blew out windows and roofs of nearby buildings and destroyed cars. Residents reported feeling the impact of the blast up to 50km (31 miles) away.
Videos verified by the BBC show a fire growing in intensity before a huge explosion, with people subsequently fleeing the blast and others lying wounded on roads surrounded by smoking debris.
President Donald Trump and his wife, Melania, joined other world leaders on Saturday in paying respects to Pope Francis, who passed away on Easter Monday at age 88 after a series of health complications hospitalized him for weeks.
The pope’s funeral mass was held in Rome’s St. Peter’s Square, followed by a private burial at the St. Mary Major Basilica. Over 250,000 mourners gathered to view Pope Francis’s body over the course of three days in St. Peter’s Basilica before Saturday’s funeral, the Vatican said. His coffin was sealed on Friday.
The Vatican confirmed 164 delegations, including 54 heads of state and twelve monarchs, were in attendance.
Ashley Rindsberg, from whose stories I have riffed on before, has a great piece in Spectator Magazine about the COVID cover-up that adds a new twist.
Anthony Fauci, through a Harvard University intermediary, helped funnel money from the Chinese property company Evergrande to Harvard in February 2020. And that contribution was, quite surprisingly, part of a backdoor effort on the part of the Chinese to communicate with and influence Fauci and America's COVID response. On the morning of Sunday February 2, 2020, Anthony Fauci, then in the middle of putting together America’s pandemic response, received an unusual email with a highly unusual request.
President Trump continues to assail the once-unassailable status quo on civil rights. The behemoth of federal civil rights laws may originate with the Civil Rights Act of 1964, but far too much of it has been invented by administrative agencies and courts. That should end — and it is a fight worth having.
The shift of a significant number of non-white voters into Trump’s coalition in 2024 can be read in many ways, but clearly one driver was the exhaustion of long-standing Democratic appeals to race-conscious remedies, premised as so many of them are on group identity and the notion that every disparity among groups in society reflects a deep conspiracy
New Syrian President Ahmed al-Sharaa said that Damascus seeks to normalize ties with Israel, US Congressman Cory Mills told Bloomberg on Thursday after a meeting with him last week in Syria.
Mills said he held talks with Sharaa about the conditions for removing US-imposed economic sanctions, as well as the possibility of peace with Israel, according to the report.
Sharaa told Mills during their meeting that Syria is interested “under the right conditions” in joining the Abraham Accords — the series of normalization agreements that US President Donald Trump’s previous administration negotiated between Israel and the United Arab Emirates, Bahrain and Morocco.
Yesterday, President Trump signed an executive order titled "Restoring Equality of Opportunity and Meritocracy." The basic point of this is to undermine what is known as disparate-impact theory. Here's how the executive order describes it.
A bedrock principle of the United States is that all citizens are treated equally under the law. This principle guarantees equality of opportunity, not equal outcomes. It promises that people are treated as individuals, not components of a particular race or group. It encourages meritocracy and a colorblind society, not race- or sex-based favoritism. Adherence to this principle is essential to creating opportunity, encouraging achievement, and sustaining the American Dream.
The circle of top advisers in Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth’s orbit has shrunk in recent days to little more than his wife, lawyer, and two lower-level officials — leaving the Pentagon’s lead office without longtime expertise or clear direction.
Hegseth’s decision to fire three senior aides last week and reassign his chief of staff has blown a hole in his leadership team, severing essential lines of communication across the department and leading to fears about dangerous slip-ups such as weapons program delays.
The wholesale turnover just 100 days into Hegseth’s tenure has been remarkable for its speed. And it has left the first-time government official without trusted staff who understand Washington

WASHINGTON (AP) — Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth had an internet connection that bypassed the Pentagon’s security protocols set up in his office to use the Signal messaging app on a personal computer, two people familiar with the line told The Associated Press.
The existence of the unsecured internet connection is the latest revelation about Hegseth’s use of the unclassified app and raises the possibility that sensitive defense information could have been put at risk of potential hacking or surveillance.
Known as a “dirty” internet line by the IT industry, it connects directly to the public internet where the user’s information and the websites
Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth’s controversial chief of staff, who played a central role in a power struggle that gripped the Pentagon, will exit the agency today.
Joe Kasper was originally expected to transition to another role within the Defense Department, but is now planning to go back to government relations and consulting, he said in an interview.
He will continue to support and advise the Pentagon, he said, but as a special government employee. This will limit him to performing temporary jobs for just 130 days a year.
A former longtime chief of staff to indicted Rep. Duncan Hunter, Kasper was a leading figure in the firings

On Friday’s broadcast of HBO’s “Real Time,” New York Times columnist Bret Stephens discussed the first 100 days of the second Trump administration and stated that “the good news, I think, for the country is it’s the worst first 100 days in the U.S. presidential history” because “a lot of the country that voted for President Trump because they didn’t like the course of the country under his predecessor because they were mad, because they thought stuff needed to be broken up and disrupted are waking up to the reality of just how much worse it can get.” And “if it had been a successful first 100 days, if it
Susan Rice, an ally of Barack Obama who served in multiple roles in both his and Joe Biden's administrations, called Pete Hegseth 'dumb as a rock' after he fired her from a Pentagon policy board.
Rice, 60, was the United States' Ambassador to the United Nations during Obama's first term and served as his National Security Advisor for his second.
She also spent two years as the director of the Domestic Policy Council under Biden and has served as a member of the Defense Policy Board Advisory Committee at the Pentagon.

Sen. Adam Schiff revealed that his luggage was stolen in South San Francisco two years ago, and that a clerk in a nearby Target afterwards “basically said in not so many words, yeah, Democrats are a—holes” when he went shopping for toiletries.
The Golden State senator used the anecdote to acknowledge that Democrats have a “major problem” and are fundamentally “going to have to change how we do business in California.”
“We’re going to have to address people’s legitimate concerns about crime,” Schiff (D-Calif.) reflected on “Real Time with Bill Maher” Friday.
“I thought, you know, if the cashier in San Francisco at 10:00 at night believes that Democrats are
Virginia Giuffre, the most prominent victim of late convicted pedophile Jeffrey Epstein, took her own life Thursday — just weeks after she made headlines for saying she had “four days to live” following a collision with a bus.
“It is with utterly broken hearts that we announce that Virginia passed away last night at her farm in Western Australia,” the 41-year-old’s family said in a statement to NBC News.
“She lost her life to suicide, after being a lifelong victim of sexual abuse and sex trafficking.”
First responders found Giuffre unresponsive in her home near Perth, and local authorities said her death is being probed by Major Crime detectives,
The left-wing Labour Party government in Britain has reportedly launched an initiative to offer private landlords five-year deals to house illegal migrants as increased crossings of the English Channel have put further pressure on the asylum system.
Despite the housing crisis in the UK, which has prevented many young Britons from getting on the property ladder, taxpayers are likely to be footing the bill for more houses to be devoted to supposed asylum seekers.
According to a report from The Telegraph, Serco, a private contractor that assists the Home Office in dealing with illegal migrants and alleged asylum seekers, has begun contacting landlords, investment property owners, and real estate agents in

On March 25, at a high school in Katy, TX, a teenage girl named Brooklynn Gianfrancesco was assaulted by a male classmate who, according to reports, had been harassing her for some time:
Viral video from inside the Taylor High School in Katy shows the moment a teenage boy slaps a girl in the face as they stand in the front of the class last month, shocking everyone.
The girl points out what had just happened to the teacher, who stands frozen. The girl then takes a swing at the boy, who had been allegedly tormenting her all year.
The two wrestle each other to the ground,
Former UN Ambassador and Obama National Security Advisor erupted after she was canned from the Pentagon’s Defense Police Board.
The board’s role is to provide the Secretary of Defense and the Deputy Secretary of Defense with independent, informed advice and opinions concerning matters of defense policy.
Rice found out she was sacked on Thursday night.
The Daily Beast reported:
Her sacking was announced late Thursday evening, with the Defense Department issuing a statement that read, “changes are needed

Even as talks progress and President Donald Trump says there is hope for a deal, Ukraine’s President Volodymyr Zelensky made clear he rejects President Donald Trump’s proposal to recognise Russia’s occupation of Crimea as a price of peace, saying the Ukrainian constitution calls for nothing less than absolute victory.
This week, President Donald Trump said in interview with Time Magazine that one of the ultimate outcomes of the war will be that “Crimea will stay with Russia”, and later that a deal was close, with Ukraine and Russia needing now to meet in person in negotiations for the first time to “finish it off”.
Former President Barack Obama was spotted going out to dinner with his daughters in Los Angeles on Saturday night — but former first lady Michele Obama was nowhere to be found as rumors of marriage problems continue to swirl. (Photo) Obama, 63, with daughters Sasha, 23, and Malia, 26, broke bread at upscale Japanese restaurant Hamasaku on Santa Monica Boulevard, which has been a favorite of the family since at least 2022, according to images of the dinner.
Pollster Frank Luntz inspired mockery after trying to bait Trump voters into expressing displeasure over their retirement accounts.
As Americans adjust to the effects of President Donald Trump’s tariffs, it’s clear that some are more focused on the big picture instead of the temporary pain. Luntz learned this firsthand when he questioned 15 supporters of the president about their 401(k) accounts.
Watch: [video]
“I need to ask you an issue that no one’s brought up and has crashed your 401(k)s, most of you, the tariffs,” Luntz said. “The stock market is way down.”
“It needed a correction,” said Sarina from New York.
“Oh, so you support it?” a visibly surprised Luntz asked,
It is no laughing matter. The annual dinner for journalists who cover the White House is best known for American presidents trying to be funny and comedians trying to be political. But this year’s edition will feature neither.
Instead the event in a downtown Washington hotel on Saturday night will, critics say, resemble something closer to a wake for legacy media still trying to find an effective response to Donald Trump’s divide-and-rule tactics and the rise of the Maga media ecosystem.
Joe Biden’s effort to restore norms included the former president giving humorous speeches at the White House Correspondents’ Association (WHCA) annual dinner.
