    This Is The Way - lethality, lethality, lethality!!!

    So when you have Russia advertising tough manly men in the military and play time in a Chinese kindergarten is for a 5 year old to learn how to disassemble and reassemble a hand gun blindfolded in under a minute.

    Then on the other hand the US military is more concerned about DEI, wokeism, and transgenderism that puts your military at a distinct disadvantage.

    Below Pete Hegseth states what President Trump mandated be the direction the military takes under his presidency which is lethality, lethality, lethality, and I like it.

    So say bye bye to this



    And hello to this ...



    Breaking ... mmmm ... maybe its time for Ronny boy to have the spotlight.

    President Trump " Nuclear War Is Not An Option"

    Glenn Beck recently traveled to Mar-a-Lago to attend a PragerU event, but got a chance to talk with President-elect Donald Trump as well (starts @2.45minutes). Glenn discusses everything he can about the shocking conversation they had, which covered a wide range of topics:
    What’s happening to South Korea?
    What’s really going on with the Russia/Ukraine war?
    Do Biden and the Democrats want that war?
    How much of a threat is Iran?
    Why is Trump worried about ‘nuclear proliferation’?
    Glenn also explains what made this meeting very different than the others he has had with presidents and why he now believes it was a blessing that Trump lost in 2020: He’s a changed man now and he’s coming back with laser focus to change everything FAST.

    Bad idea, IMO. Anyone who would clean out the rot in the Defense Dept. is going to get the Hegseth treatment. The more opposed the pick is, the better the pick. The game plan should be to fight the pushback twice as hard, in classic Trump fashion.

    DeSantis talks a good game, but is a cream puff tied to--if not beholden to--Deep State interests. What ever happened to the State of Florida taking on the investigation of the attempted Trump assassination and away from the stonewalling FBI? That sure got squashed and buried in a hurry.

    At the end of the day, I don't think DeSantis has the stones to walk the walk.

    • Donald Trump Dominates ‘Biased’ NBC News Interview:

    Sky News host Danica De Giorgio says US President-elect Donald Trump “absolutely destroyed” a biased journalist during a sit-down interview with NBC News.

    The 47th president appeared in an interview on ‘Meet the Press’ alongside NBC News host Kristen Welker on Sunday.

    “This was brilliant by Trump; he is so measured, he is a real master at handling these interviews,” Ms De Giorgio said.

    The Biden Administration knows Trump is going to finish the wall, so they are trying to make it as expensive as possible by selling wall materials as scrap.

    This is so petty and wasteful. It will cost tens of millions $$$ extra to recover from what Biden is intentionally doing.

    The current regime in Washington, DC hates you. Don't believe me? They're selling unused border wall segments for $5 each at government auction, shipping off half-a-mile of Trump's border wall a day.

    This is pure sabotage by bureaucrats who want to deliver a last minute "screw you" to Donald Trump and the 76 million Americans who elected him to protect our border.

    Their time in power is coming to an end, and whoever is responsible for this will be held accountable.

    Trump can fire anybody he wants, thanks to Sean Spicer | Paul Bedard, Washington Examiner

    President-elect Donald Trump is arriving at the White House armed with a legal weapon that will let him fire any of President Joe Biden’s appointees.

    Thanks in part to a court fight former Trump White House spokesman Sean Spicer lost over his firing by Biden from a three-year term to the Board of Visitors to the United States Naval Academy, the incoming president will have the legal backing to dump any of Biden’s over 4,000 appointments who try to stick around.

    And the best part, Spicer told Secrets, “They’ll have no one to blame but Biden himself.”

    The case dates to Sept. 8, 2021, when Biden began to fire Trump allies from the visitor boards at the academies of the Navy, the Air Force, and the Army.

    Spicer and others, including Russ Vought (just picked by Trump to head the Office of Management and Budget) and former Trump counselor Kellyanne Conway, were unceremoniously dumped despite several of them having time left on their three-year terms.

    Spicer and Vought sued, saying that unlike White House staff or others appointed by a prior president, they couldn’t be fired because of their congressionally mandated terms.

    They lost, however, when a judge essentially ruled that the president could fire any presidential appointee, whether they had terms or not. A further effort failed, too.

    Spicer said that is exactly what he hoped the courts would do because he wanted to help a future Trump presidency fire Biden’s picks without having its hands tied.

    “What no one ever understood was this was not about actually getting back on the board, because my term had been expired for months. It was forcing them to argue in the affirmative that they had the ultimate authority to fire anybody at any time, which they did. And the court accepted that. So the Biden administration is now on record in court, and the court agreed that the president had absolute authority to fire anyone he wants,” Spicer said in an interview.

    • "What Happens Next Will Change Everything... | Eric Weinstein":

    Eric Weinstein dives deep into the seismic shifts needed to restore America’s greatness, touching on science, truth, and a misunderstood Trump. Weinstein opens up about his unexpected fears—not from Trump himself, but from the tech elites whose hidden ideologies have quietly shaped the landscape. He critiques the deep state and legacy institutions, calling for a full reckoning with the systems that have held back progress.

    Weinstein paints Trump as a potential "disclosure president," someone uniquely positioned to expose decades of governmental secrecy—from UFOs to institutional rot. He believes this transparency, combined with a focus on real-time truthfulness, could rebuild trust between the government and its citizens. But Weinstein doesn’t hold back: he insists Trump must prepare the nation for sacrifice, disruption, and the hard truths about America’s dire financial and structural realities.

    The conversation shifts to Weinstein’s passion: science. He argues that America’s stagnation in physics, mathematics, and biology has hampered innovation and weakened the nation’s edge. Restoring science, he contends, is critical for everything from national defense to space exploration. By empowering scientists with security and prosperity, Weinstein envisions a renaissance that could reignite technological progress and transform the country into the interstellar powerhouse it was destined to be.

    In this thought-provoking discussion, Weinstein challenges both political parties, calls out institutional failures, and presents a bold roadmap for an American resurgence. It’s a masterclass in big-picture thinking you won’t want to miss.

    The new hotness in Washington D.C.: @ElonMusk is "calling the shots for the GOP."

    This is their way of hiding the fact that Musk empowered millions of Americans to make their voices heard on @X.

    Lawmakers have used this focus-tested language ten times already. Their tears are delicious.

    These spineless hypocrites and shameless sellouts hate accountability more than children hate eating peas.

    They cannot stand the fact they just got smoked in a change election.

    Donald Trump was able to beat a 90% negative media. He prevailed over ridiculous, endless and now-collapsed lawfare cases. And oh yeah, he survived two assassination attempts, as well.

    This infuriates politicians to no end. And their temper tantrums are not going to change a thing about it.

    The times are changing. Politicians need to get used to it.



    https://x.com/WallStreetMav/status/1869792222901846284



    The clowns in the "news" media think THEY are the only ones allowed to influence voters.

    Social media on X is out of control, sharing their opinions with members of Congress on spending legislation. How dare they question how govt works.

    Elon’s money would mean nothing if the will of the American people was not behind him. That’s why he has influence.

    Bloomberg tried to buy his way to the Democrat nomination in 2020, but nobody liked him and his policies, so he never made it anywhere.

    Soros funded pro-crime, rogue prosecutors, but after people saw how awful their policies were, they lost their elections. (Alvin Bragg is next.)

    The American people finally have a voice with Donald Trump and the men and women he’s surrounded himself with. We’re going to use every avenue of influence we can to finally break the Swamp 🇺🇸

    Speaker Johnson Reveals the Conversation He Had with Elon & Vivek Before Caving on Spending CR

    Mike Johnson, Speaker of the House, was determined to push through the now-failed spending CRomnibus in defiance of criticism from @DOGE leaders @ElonMusk and @VivekGRamaswamy.


    Then everything changed — thanks to blowback on @X.

    "Elon Musk, the world's richest man, just tweeted this bill should not pass. The only way you're going to be able to pass it now, Mr. Speaker, is with Democrats. If you could, what's your message to Elon Musk?"

    Speaker Johnson revealed that he was in communications with the DOGE leadership team.

    "Well, I was communicating with Elon last night. Elon and Vivek and I are on a text chain together. And I was explaining to them the background of this. And Vivek and I talked last night about almost midnight. And he said, 'Look, I get it.' He said, 'We understand you're in an impossible position. Everybody knows that'."

    "Remember, guys, we still have just a razor-thin margin of Republicans, so any bill has to have Democrat votes. They understand the situation. They said it's not directed at you, Mr. Speaker, but we don't like the spending. I said, 'Guess what, fellas? I don't either.' We've got to get this done because here's the key: by doing this, we're clearing the decks and we're setting up for Trump to come in roaring back with an America First agenda."

    "That's what we're going to run with gusto beginning January 3rd. We start the new Congress when Republicans again bring control, and all of our fiscal conservative friends, one of them will be able to finally do the things that we've been wanting to do for the last couple of years."

    "Right now, Democrats still control the pens, and that's the problem. So we've got to get this thing done so we don't have the shutdown, so we get the short-term funding measure, and we get to March where we can put our fingerprints on the spending. That's when the big changes start, and we can't wait to get there."

    What changed, Mr. Speaker?

    It was not just the leadership of Donald Trump, Elon Musk, and Vivek Ramaswamy, although they led the way.

    It was also the real-time blowback that came after citizen journalists exposed the pork barrel spending and unethical provisions in the CR on @X, as well as voter pushback who made their voices heard.

    @X is a game-changer.

    Again, it isn’t so much that Congress fears Trump -- they really just fear their own voters. They know they are doing things that the voters don’t want. For years, they’ve been able to hide that fact. But now that’s over.

    The new narrative just dropped.

    They are all referring to Elon as "President Musk" in order to get President Trump upset. Their goal is to drive a wedge between Trump and Elon.

    Get a good look. This is the enemy.

    This is in the 114-page, trillion dollar "clean" CR that Democrats and debt hardliners killed in a House vote.

    • $100 billion in disaster relief to be spent in 30 days
    • Over $30 billion allocated for agriculture relief
    • Suspends debt ceiling, raises by $4T with no reforms
    • Over $1 billion for conservation projects
    • Invests in NASA and NOAA disaster-damaged facilities
    • Funds submarine programs and defense projects
    • Boosts Medicare payments, expands telehealth
    • Extends funding for community health centers
    • Supports cybersecurity, drone protection

    38 Republicans joined with 197 Democrats voted to tank the bill

    I would guess that members of this forum are aware that both Biden and Kamala were rushed back to the White House last night, and something is afoot. My bets are on the following scenario: Not only is it possible that the 25th amendment will be invoked to allow Kamala to be the first female president of the U.S. for 30 days, but then she could be the one to create martial law, and continuity of government preventing Trump from coming to power.

    This video of Elon explaining his vision for Twitter (April 2023) is why the news media hates Elon and X.

    Years ago, the "news" media reporters and editors were the gatekeepers of facts. They had the biggest megaphone, nobody could question them.

    The news media determined the narrative of the day based upon the stories they decided to cover. And also by choosing which stories to ignore.

    They could get the entire country to support wars (Iraq) and make it patriotic and cool. They could destroy politicians (Nixon) and elevate them (Obama).It was a glorious era for the news media. They loved it.

    Then along comes social media and platforms like Twitter. All of a sudden individuals who were not in the media could build a large following and have a large megaphone. For a while it was fine, the news media reporters had a special Blue Check, so they were still special on social media and were considered more authoritative. Plus their liberal friends controlled Twitter, so they could have anyone banned if needed.

    But then Elon bought Twitter and all of that changed. Now the news media reporters were not special. They couldn't call their friends at Twitter to have their enemies banned. The Blue Check wasn't just for special people any more.

    Now there are individuals on X would get WAY more views for their content than anyone on MSNBC or CNN or the NY Times or Washington Post.

    Now users on X are able to challenge the narrative of the legacy news media. Users on X can easily expose the inaccuracies of what the legacy news media reports. And quite often the people exposing the news media have a much larger audience when doing it.

    It is driving people at the legacy news media crazy. Cable TV news, newspapers, broadcast news, etc. They are losing their audience. They are losing their credibility. They are losing advertising dollars. There are regular layoffs in their industry. Pay cuts for their TV anchors to keep their jobs.

    So when you see a newspaper or cable TV news attacking Elon or the X platform. You can easily understand the motive behind the attack and whether the attack is legitimate.

    These people are upset because they have lost their special position as the gatekeepers of the narrative. They got to determine what everyone talks about. If they wanted to kill a story, they all got together and ignored it. But now they have lost that ability and it is driving them insane.

    I think this interesting bit of news may belong on this thread.

    https://infowars.com/posts/kamala-ca...leaving-a-cult

    Kamala Campaign Advisor Quits Democrat Party: ‘I Don’t Want to Be Part of This Craziness — Like Leaving a Cult’

    Lindy Li says there's a "stench of loser" hanging over Democratic Party and liberals have become "so far removed from reality."



    Kamala Harris campaign advisor Lindy Li announced she’s leaving the Democratic Party over its continuing shift toward woke radicalism and intolerance of dissenting viewpoints.

    Li, a DNC Finance Committee member who was tasked with overseeing the Harris campaign’s finances, explained Wednesday on Piers Morgan’s “Uncensored” that since pointing out the “stench of loser” hanging over the Democrat Party in the wake of Kamala’s resounding defeat, she’s been targeted for harassment and canceling by her former peers.

    “As soon as I said that, there were boycott campaigns against me. Unblock-unfollow campaigns. I lost 40,000 followers in four days,” Li said. “They asked for me to be deported…so all these so-called Democrats the ‘party of inclusion,’ the ‘party of diversity’ — masks off.”

    https://twitter.com/i/status/1869547638686974222

    “And it’s even worse because they pretend to occupy the moral high ground. At least with Republicans, they are who they are. But with Democrats, they pretend to be so loving and caring and embracing of diversity.”

    “But all of a sudden, when I dare to utter any criticisms of ‘the goddess’ Kamala Harris, I get ostracized. Me, after having raised tens of millions of dollars for the party.”

    Li also pointed out that Democrat fundraisers are also upset with the party for wasting billions of dollars only to wind up with a historic loss by Kamala.

    “My donors are pissed. They raised $2.5 billion across super PACs in the campaign,” she said. “It’s my responsibility, it’s my duty of care to ask what the hell happened with that money. Why did we spend millions of dollars on 5-star hotels for campaign staffers? Why did we spend $500,000 essentially bribing Al Sharpton moments before he interviewed Kamala?”

    “These are legitimate questions,” she continued. “But no, in the cult you can’t ask questions. And leaving the Democrat Party, or even questioning leaving the Democrat Party, is like leaving a cult. It’s terrifying.”

    Li went on to say that she left the party as a result of its hypocrisy and harassment.

    “I don’t want to be a part of this tent. I don’t want to be apart of this craziness anymore,” she said. “They’re accelerating my rightward shift. It’s crazy. And honestly, they’re shrinking their tent. They’re pushing me to bring my tens of millions of dollars that I’ve raised and will continue to raise, to a different team that treats me better and treats me with common decency, that doesn’t call me a communist spy.”

    “These are the people who call themselves social justice warriors? They are going headfirst into racism anytime someone dares to disagree with them. I don’t want to be a part of this nonsense anymore. I want to be a part of a team that says men are men, women are women and men shouldn’t play in women’s sports,” Li added.

    A reminder of the Clinton/Bush connection -->

    The testimony of Cathy O'Brien to congress. The date (below) 1977 is wrong, it was 1997.



    https://x.com/Vital_Vibration/status...20281952121124
    On August 3, 1977, Cathy O’Brien testified to the 95th U.S. Congress to accuse Hillary Clinton of rape, and that she was a sex slave for Hillary and Bill Clinton.

    The View: "If we could just regulate social media, Harris would have won."

    Translation: If we could just get rid of the 1st amendment and silence people we disagree with, we would have won.

    Kamala Harris was very confident that she’d beat Donald Trump. She didn’t even think she needed a key union endorsement that every previous 21st-century Democrat nominee had received.

    “I’ll win with or without you,” she smugly told Teamsters boss Sean O’Brien during a pre-election meeting.

    At the time, O’Brien was undecided on how he’d advise his members to vote. Harris’s pitch didn’t exactly sway him to her side.

    He ultimately opted against endorsing the cocky vice president, and you know what happened next. It was a resounding, humiliating, and beautifully poetic defeat. Looking back, this story serves as a hilarious lesson on the dangers of hubris and taking things for granted. Maybe Harris would have bothered running a coherent campaign if she realized she had to earn the presidency. We’ll never know.

    Sean O’Brien joined today’s Tucker Carlson Show to share his side of the Kamala Harris experience, revisit his speech at the RNC, break down Donald Trump’s relationship with his union, and more. Click the image below to watch.

    Sean O'Brien tells Tucker:

    “The people that we were talking about, the corporate elitists and everybody else, those are the people that the Democrats are falling in love with. Those are the people they serve instead of the middle class the way it used to be fifty years ago.”
