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.

Over One-Third of Payments Issued

With so much going on these days — on multiple fronts — it's difficult to keep up with it all. On Tuesday alone, there were multiple cabinet secretaries testifying before Congress, President Donald Trump made multiple appearances, commenting on everything from trade to FIFA, the Houthis cried "Uncle!", and India and Pakistan appear primed to bust out into an all-out war.[Snip] But looking back over some of the key moments, one was particularly jaw-dropping: According to Bessent, over one-third of the 1.5 billion payments issued by the Treasury Department in the past year cannot be traced back to a corresponding appropriation.

Sen. Thom Tillis (R-NC) is withholding support for President Donald Trump’s nominee for U.S. Attorney for D.C., a move that could result in MAGA villain Judge Jeb Boasberg choosing who would fill the role — potentially even former Special Counsel Jack Smith. Trump, who announced in December 2024 that Ed Martin would serve as Chief of Staff at the Office of Management and Budget, installed Martin as interim U.S. Attorney for the District of Columbia on January 20, 2025, later formally nominating him to take over long-term.

The Department of Defense announced that May is Military Appreciation Month, and thanks to President Donald Trump and Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth, our troops have something to celebrate. From the skyrocketing recruitment to ditching DEI to reinstating those fired over COVID-19 vaccination status, the Trump Department of Defense (DOD) has much to promote in terms of achievements going into Military Appreciation Month. And hopefully, we will continue to see more victories in the future, such as successfully separating “transgender” troops, as Hegseth’s DOD announced it would do before activist courts intervened.

Internet sleuths have already discovered the stunning truth behind a 'UFO' image shared on Capitol Hill yesterday by a Pentagon whistleblower. Former military intelligence official Luis Elizondo spoke before Congress Thursday morning, revealing a never-before-seen image of a cruise ship–sized craft he claimed was spotted hovering 21,000 feet in the air over the western US. The image quickly flooded social media and was debunked in less than 24 hours. Users analyzed the photo and located the object, discovering it was actually a snapshot of two irrigation circles in rural Colorado.

New analysis from the Media Research Center has found that coverage of Pete Hegseth by the major news networks during Trump’s first 100 days has been 100 percent negative. This goes beyond media bias. It’s the weaponization of media.[Snip] Hegseth responded to the report with a post on X showing the tone of his coverage compared to that of Health and Human Services Secretary Robert F. Kennedy Jr. and Department of Government Efficiency (DOGE) adviser Elon Musk — who received 89% negative coverage and 96% negative coverage, respectively.

It was once thought to be a conspiracy theory — but now the Trump Administration is promising to put an end to what it calls a 'crime against humanity.' The 'chemtrail' conspiracy focuses on the idea that the government is spraying a host of dangerous chemicals from commercial airliners to intentionally make people sick.[Snip] RFK Jr has suggested chemtrails are 'affecting the environment and our health,' along with touting geoengineer as 'a real program.' After repeatedly calling this act 'a crime' on social media, RFK Jr addressed the issue during an interview with Dr Phil Tuesday.'Those materials are put in jet fuel,' RFK Jr claimed.

George Orwell's classic "1984" plumbed the depths of absurd statism, but I'm not sure even he could have come up with this one.  Democrats in Maine have not only censured a Republican representative for speaking the truth about biological reality regarding transgenderism and sports, but left-wing House Speaker Ryan Fecteau has now barred her from voting and speaking. At the center of the controversy is a Facebook post that Republican House Rep. Laurel Libby made. In it, she posted a picture of a "transgender girl" (a biological male) who recently won the Maine state championship in pole-vaulting. For context, he had competed as a boy (which he is) just one year prior.

The clothes and phone of missing Long Island Democrat Petros Krommidas have been found on a beach close to his car, his family said — as they revealed he likely swam in the sea while training for an upcoming triathlon. Krommidas, who is running for a seat in the Nassau County Legislature, hasn’t been seen since he set off for a training swim last Wednesday night at Long Beach, according to cops and his family. The 29-year-old’s locked car was later found parked by the Allegria Hotel — just off the beach he regularly goes to, his family said in a social media post.

A former FBI analyst who resigned over the Trump administration and boasted about working on January 6 cases is running for Congress as a Democrat. John Sullivan is challenging New York Republican Rep. Michael Lawler for New York’s 17th Congressional District — and he’s wasted no time in blasting the Trump administration and invoking January 6. Sullivan worked in the bureau for almost 17 years but resigned in April over the Trump administration, according to his Substack. Since leaving the bureau, he’s slammed the Trump administration and Elon Musk. Sullivan claimed President Donald Trump and FBI Director Kash Patel pose a “threat … to American safety and security.”

They have to go to work because they have to feed their families. So, if they both were working, now one person is working.”

As the Associated Press reported, U.S. District Judge Jamal Whitehead, a Biden judge from Seattle, on Monday ordered the Trump administration to admit around 12,000 refugees into America under a court order partially barring the president’s attempts to suspend the nation’s refugee admissions program. At the same time, he ignored the possibility that these refugees could pose a threat to America. “This Court will not entertain the Government’s result-oriented rewriting of a judicial order that clearly says what it says,”

Donald Trump has announced that he’s reopening Alcatraz as a federal prison for the worst of the worst in America. I couldn’t be more delighted, because it’s a wonderful idea at both practical and symbolic levels. Trump made the announcement on Truth Social:It’s to be hoped that many of the new residents will be the same Tren de Aragua and MS-13 terrorists that the leftists insist remain on American soil. The media grimly reported the news, although they hastened to add that it won’t be easy to turn the old site into a modern prison. AP is representative of this approach to reporting:

A 55-year-old Akron woman was arrested May 5 and charged with multiple drug offenses after a raccoon was discovered in her vehicle holding a meth pipe in its mouth, Springfield Township police posted on Facebook. Officers initially conducted a traffic stop at about 7:15 p.m. after identifying a vehicle whose owner had both an active warrant and a suspended driver's license. After officers detained the driver, police then discovered a raccoon named "Chewy" sitting in the driver's seat with a meth pipe in its mouth, police reported. Officers further inspected the vehicle after that discovery and ended up finding a "bulk amount" of meth, crack cocaine and three used glass meth pipes.
