President Trump: The First Commander-in-Chief
of Space
Posted By: ladydawgfan, 11/18/2024 12:24:16 AM
Space has become a critical domain for national security and is now seen as a potential “warfighting domain.” Once considered a benign and cooperative environment, it has evolved into a battleground for global power dynamics. In response, during his first term, President Trump revitalized the National Space Council, inaugurated Space Force, and championed initiatives like the Artemis Accords and NASA’s Lunar ambitions. Additionally, through his relationship with Elon Musk and SpaceX, Trump aims to accelerate the development of U.S. space capabilities, ensuring the nation stays ahead of rivals like Russia and China.

Over Announcement of Gaetz As AG Pick,

We’ve reported on how FBI officials were panicking when Trump won the presidential election, worrying that there would be a "bloodbath" of layoffs as the President-elect cleaned house after their endless persecutions of him.
But now FBI and Department of Justice officials are freaking out even more with the announcement that Trump picked former Florida Rep. Matt Gaetz to be his attorney general.
Multiple current and former senior Justice Department and FBI officials have begun reaching out to lawyers in anticipation of being criminally investigated by the Trump administration, according to three people with knowledge of their deliberations.
Following Trump’s decisive election victory,
Powerful forces are out to derail Pete Hegseth’s bid to become secretary of defense and carry out President-elect Donald Trump’s plans to reform the Pentagon.
The Army veteran and former Fox News host has been hammered by a stream of inflammatory accusations in recent days, from past allegations of sexual assault to absurd and baseless claims that his faith-based tattoos reveal him as a white supremacist.
Hegseth, of course, has never faced criminal charges, has never been connected to any white supremacy groups or activities and has never deviated from his loyalty to country — so these preposterous attacks merely reveal the desperation of those seeking to subvert his confirmation.
Comedian and talk show host John Oliver stirred up some controversy during a recent broadcast in which he argued that allowing trans-identified men to compete in girls’ sports was acceptable and not a risk to the safety of female athletes.
“Harry Potter” author J.K. Rowling quickly countered Oliver’s claims and explained why forcing female athletes to compete with men is unfair and dangerous.
During the episode, Oliver discussed how Republicans effectively used Vice President Kamala Harris’ support for biological males in women’s sports against her during the 2024 campaign. He lamented the fact that Harris’ campaign failed “to formulate a response, especially because it’s pretty easy to do.”
Senator-elect Adam Schiff (D-CA) said Sunday on CNN’s “State of the Union” that he did not overstate President-elect Donald Trump’s collusion with Russia during the 2016 campaign.
Host Jake Tapper said, “I’m looking at these nominees, Tulsi Gabbard to be director of National Intelligence possibly Kash Patel to be head of the FBI. Gaetz at DOJ, RFK Jr. at HHS and others and obviously he is bringing a group of people to disrupt. I mean, that is what Speaker Johnson said. I’m wondering about how much anybody in Washington is is being introspective at all about why there is this kind of opening for disruptors, if not necessarily these individuals.
House Minority Leader Hakeem Jeffries (D-NY) said Sunday on NBC’s “Meet the Press” that “America deserves better” than President-elect Donald Trump’s cabinet picks.
Host Kristen Welker said, “I want to ask you now about that report that the House Ethics committee was set to vote on to release into former Congressman Matt Gaetz, of course, President-elect Trump’s pick to be the next attorney general. Speaker Johnson is now saying that the report should not be released. What’s your reaction to what Speaker Johnson is saying?”
Jeffries said, “Of course, it should be released. And that’s not just Democrats saying that. You have repeatedly seen Senate Republicans

Donald Trump’s signature dance moves to the song Y.M.C.A has become a cultural phenomenon.
Argentian President Javier Milei could not help but break out Trump’s signature dance during a recent visit to Mar-a-Lago for CPAC’s Investors Summit. [Tweet, video]
On Saturday night, UFC heavyweight champion Jon Jones celebrated his victory over Stipe Miocic at UFC 309 by busting out his moves. [Tweet, video]
The dance has even gone international! Players from Barnsley did the Trump dance after scoring a goal against Cambridge United. [Tweet, video]
After years of controversy over players kneeling during the National Anthem, things seem to be shifting in the NFL.
In recent weeks, rumors have swirled that President Trump may nominate former Housing and Urban Development (HUD) Secretary Dr. Ben Carson for the role of Surgeon General.
On Sunday morning, Dr. Carson laid those rumors to rest.
In a post on X, Dr. Carson wrote, “I am excited to speak with President Trump about how I will continue to advance the America First agenda, and I am meeting with him in the near future.”
Carson added, “However, contrary to reports, I will not be serving as the Surgeon General.”
Two of the best pieces of advice I've ever received in my life came from my brother, who gifted me with these gems: "Never pass up a free meal or a free beer," and "Always be careful where you stick your finger next." I have passed those tidbits on myself from time to time, and I'm going to have to add "Never pay any serious attention to modern art" to the list.
Why? At Sotheby's in New York, the latest iteration of a work of art consisting of a banana duct-taped to a wall is expected to fetch a million dollars at auction.
Yes, really.

If you don’t live in a deep blue area, you might not understand just how hostile most of the population in some of those places has been to Trump—even the idea of Trump—since the moment he came down the golden escalator in 2015. Wear a MAGA hat in a place like Los Angeles, and you might lose friends, your family, your job, and you’d face constant confrontation. Put a Trump sticker on your car, and start saving up for all the repairs you’ll soon be facing because it will be vandalized as soon as you walk away.
But that could be changing since President-elect Donald Trump cruised to a landslide victory
Everywhere you look, Democrats are highly distressed by Donald Trump's magnificent victory and the GOP’s trifecta sweep. With honest reporting, however, missing from mainstream media for more than two decades, Democrats might have avoided their current pain and gnashing of teeth.
Gaslighting as the Norm
An honest press would have reported that Kamala Harris was ducking key questions, botching interviews, and offering word salad responses. Worse, she learned nothing from one interview to the next, and she was unprepared to address fundamental issues while her handlers ignored these deficiencies.

Does truth mean anything anymore? Facts? Actual points of evidence that say precisely what something is?
Is there zero responsibility by those who have platforms, readers, viewers, listeners to represent what they discuss as true?
I only ask because, and I’m not sure many have noticed, but as the left continues to reel from its loss in the presidential race, and as they continue to try to steal the U. S. Senate seat in Pennsylvania, they are also getting very loose with their tongues.

Senator-elect Adam Schiff (D-CA) said Sunday on CNN’s “State of the Union” that President-elect Donald Trump wanted to use the U.S. military against him.
Host Jake Tapper said, “President-elect Trump repeatedly called you the enemy from within. You and Speaker Pelosi specifically. And he said this about his enemies from within. Take a listen. On Fox News, Trump said, “I think the bigger problem are the people from within. We have some very bad people. We have some sick people, radical left lunatics, and I think they’re the and it should be very easily handled by, if necessary, by National Guard or if really necessary, by the military
Leftwing “Morning Joe” hosts and vicious Donald Trump critics Joe Scarborough and Mika Brzezinski revealed Monday they had a “personal” sit-down with the president-elect in Florida to “restart communications” — after conceding that voters overwhelmingly made their choice.
The MSNBC co-hosts, who have repeatedly bashed the Republican on-air over the years, said they had a face-to-face with Trump at his Mar-a-Lago estate on Friday — their first meeting in seven years — after reaching out in the wake of his election win.

It’s high time to shatter the myth of Nancy Pelosi as a master strategist. Nobody deserves more blame than the ridiculously self-titled “speaker emerita” for the Democrats’ $1 billion electoral collapse.
Under her ruthless leadership, her party lost the White House, the House, the Senate and the popular vote. You can’t say that enough.
Voters rejected the Dems coast to coast, even in Pelosi’s deepest-blue home city of San Francisco, which saw a 7-point swing to Donald Trump.
She’s the only speaker in history to have lost control of the House twice.
She’s finished.
Leftists have a master plan to ensure that President-elect Donald Trump’s economy tanks: They are not going to buy anything.
Leftists across the country are still reeling from Trump’s historic comeback victory, which saw him sweeping all seven swing states, garnering 312 electoral votes and also winning the popular vote after making historic gains in traditionally blue areas.
There was a sizable shift in the electorate and a clear mandate for change, but some leftists ardently disagree and have a plan to tank what everyone anticipates to be a strong economy under Trump’s leadership.
Sarah Palin appears to be venting her frustration over not receiving one of Donald Trump's coveted cabinet spots after supporting the President-elect throughout his campaign.
The former Alaska governor and GOP vice-presidential candidate, an early and vocal supporter of Trump since at least 2011, made a series of cryptic posts to social media with screengrabs of other users who were questioning why she had not been drafted into his Cabinet.

Two women testified to the House Ethics Committee that they were paid for “sexual favors” by former Rep. Matt Gaetz, President-elect Donald Trump’s pick for attorney general, a lawyer for the two women told CNN’s Erin Burnett on Monday.
Additionally, one of the women testified to the congressional panel that she witnessed Gaetz having sex with her then-underage friend in 2017, the lawyer, Joel Leppard, said on “OutFront.” CNN reported that detail Friday.
Gaetz has repeatedly denied any wrongdoing. Leppard said it was his client’s testimony that she did not believe Gaetz knew at the time that her friend was underage.

President-elect Donald Trump confirmed Monday he would declare a “national emergency” to deport illegal migrants using military force once he steps back into office.
Trump made the statement on Truth Social, responding “TRUE!!!” in response to a post from Judicial Watch’s Tom Fitton saying there are reports he would do so.
“GOOD NEWS: Reports are the incoming @RealDonaldTrump administration prepared to declare a national emergency and will use military assets to reverse the Biden invasion through a mass deportation program,” Fitton wrote on the social media platform.
A hacker is said to have gained access to a trove of damaging files related to Matt Gaetz, including testimony from a woman who claims they had sex when she was 17.
A file of 23 exhibits related to allegations against Donald Trump's pick to be Attorney General were accessed by a man using the pseudonym Altam Beezley, The New York Times reported.
The documents are said include sworn testimony from two witnesses at the center of the lurid claims against Gaetz.
A Russian ballet dancer who was an outspoken critic of Russia’s war in Ukraine has mysteriously plunged to his death from the fifth floor of a building.
Vladimir Shklyarov, a married father of two, plummeted around 60 feet to the ground from a building on Saturday, a spokesperson for the Mariinsky Theater in St. Petersburg, where the 39-year-old was the highest-ranking dancer, told Fontanka.
Russian authorities initially labeled the fall an accident, blaming the painkillers he was taking before a complex spinal surgery.

It should not come as a surprise to see the same methods deployed against President Trump in 2024 that were used by the FBI in 2016. The difference is now that President Trump understands the full power of his office in the security clearance process and that he doesn’t need the FBI.
In 2016 the FBI used their power to conduct security clearances as a tool to stall and block President Trump appointments. (snip)However, in 2024 President-Elect Trump and his transition team have already taken a different approach.
The Obamas Get Their Comeuppance

The one person who knew that the Joe Biden presidency was something other than “Obama’s third term” was Barack Obama. If Obama had any illusions about his control over events, he was rudely disabused of them on July 21, 2024. This was the Sunday on which Biden dropped out of the presidential race and endorsed Kamala Harris.
The announcements caught Obama flatfooted. Biden had not consulted with his former boss either on his decision to drop out nor on his decision to endorse Harris. At 12:46 p.m. EDT, Biden posted on X his intention to withdraw.

Informative article. However, I'm truly surprised that Dementia Joe didn't try to cancel the Space Force or the space program altogether simply because President Trump worked on it.
