    • Recall him to active duty, Court Martial him, strip him of all of his medals and give him a dishonrable discharge stripping him of his pension before he is sent to Fort Leavenworth military pen. Granted this isn’t really harsh enough to fit the crimes but they will do to scare the rest of the libs into resigning.

  5. Trump Doubles-Down on His Support for Pete Hegseth for Defense Secretary – Will Force RINOs to Be Called to the Carpet and Cast Their Votes in Public

    Pete Hegseth and his Minnesota mother and number one supporter, Penelope Hegseth

    Wonderful news!
    President Donald Trump doubled down on his support for Pete Hegseth on Friday morning for Secretary of Defense.

    Hegseth has been under constant attack by the liberal media, using a variety of anonymous accusers to muddy Pete’s name and slander his character.

    The legacy media and the military-industrial complex want their wars, and Pete Hegseth threatens that gravy train of money and a river of blood and chaos around the world.

    President Trump stood by Pete on Friday morning with a post on TRUTH social.

    Donald Trump: Pete Hegseth is doing very well. His support is strong and deep, much more so than the Fake News would have you believe. He was a great student – Princeton/Harvard educated – with a Military state of mind. He will be a fantastic, high energy, Secretary of Defense Defense, one who leads with charisma and skill. Pete is a WINNER, and there is nothing that can be done to change that!!!

    If Trump continues to stand by Pete, it will force the RINOs to come out publicly and vote against Pete for all the world to see.

    We will be waiting. Trump Nation will be waiting. We certainly don’t need members in our ranks who continue to stab Trump in the back and work against his agenda.

    Bring on the vote!

    Over 100 Navy SEALS Set to Descend on Washington D.C. in Explosive Show of Support for Army Veteran Pete Hegseth
    thegatewaypundit.com/2024/12/100-navy-seals-set-storm-washington-d-c/

    Washington, D.C., is bracing for an unprecedented show of support as over 100 Navy SEALs prepare to descend on the nation’s capital, standing in solidarity with President-elect Donald Trump’s nominee for Secretary of Defense, Pete Hegseth.

    Hegseth, a decorated Army combat veteran and prominent conservative voice, has faced relentless media attacks in recent weeks.

    The fake news media have leveled accusations ranging from outdated and disproven sexual misconduct claims to allegations of public drunkenness and financial mismanagement during his tenure at Concerned Veterans for America (CVA).

    Critics on the right are pushing back hard against what they view as a deliberate effort to derail a nominee poised to shake up the Defense Department.

    Randy Lair, a trustee at CVA, categorically denied the whistleblower allegations, describing them as “sensational fabrications designed to undermine a patriot.”

    In an exclusive letter to the New York Post, Lair emphasized that Hegseth left CVA on good terms and voluntarily pursued opportunities at Fox News, where he gained further recognition as a staunch advocate for America’s veterans.

    Adding to this defense, Hegseth’s mother, Penelope Hegseth, appeared on Fox & Friends, emotionally urging the public to reject these “outrageous” claims.

    While the mainstream media attempts to paint Hegseth in a negative light, his supporters are mounting a robust counter-offensive.

    Conservative pundits, lawmakers, and military veterans have voiced their steadfast support for the nominee, dismissing the accusations as a leftist smear campaign.

    Among his most vocal backers are members of the Navy SEAL Foundation, a group that embodies the elite warrior ethos of America’s special operations forces.

    Bill Brown, a combat veteran and leader within the Foundation, confirmed during conservation with Fox News’ Will Cain that over 100 SEALs are planning a coordinated march in Washington, D.C., to publicly endorse Hegseth.

    “I just got off the phone with Bill Brown. Bill Brown is a member of the Navy SEAL Foundation, a leader in the Navy SEAL Foundation. He’s a combat veteran and the leader of the Navy SEAL swim, which you and some of you who are listening and watching, like Brent Suriano, may have participated in,” Cain wrote.

    “If you’ve ever participated in this, you know something about honoring America’s warriors. I just got off the phone with Bill Brown moments before I came on air… I’m just pouring out to you what Bill told me moments before the beginning of this broadcast: over 100 Navy SEALs have organized and committed to march on Washington, D.C. Over 100 Navy SEALs are prepared to throw their support openly behind Pete Hegseth.”

    The SEALs’ mobilization comes at a critical juncture, as Senate Republicans are poised to vote on Hegseth’s confirmation. While sources indicate overwhelming GOP support, a few senators, including Joni Ernst, Lindsey Graham, and John Thune, are reportedly on the fence.

    Only four Republican votes against him would be enough to block the confirmation.

    • We have to return to the time when the US military is a lean mean fighting machine filled with heart breakers and life takers, Pete and the people he will bring back to active duty will restore the US military.

      • Builds character.
        Unfortunate that woke young adults in the USA are missing that experience

        (Of course their loyalties may make them unacceptable for national security.)

  6. Biden White House Worked Directly with the City of Chicago to Place Immigrants Across the State While Leaving Homeless Chicagoans to Freeze
    thegatewaypundit.com/2024/12/biden-white-house-worked-directly-city-chicago-place/
    Dec. 6, 2024 8:30 am

    A recent FOIA request made by Terry Newsome of Behind Enemy Lines revealed that the Biden White House worked directly with the City of Chicago placing immigrants.

    Throughout an email chain of 207 pages, City of Chicago officials, FEMA representatives, and a Special Assistant to the President of the United States discuss different locations for placing immigrants across the State of Illinois.

    The Gateway Pundit previously reported that FEMA had awarded approximately $20 million to the City of Chicago for food service contractors to feed illegal immigrants.

    The award timeframe was from October 2022 to December 2024. This article also details the City of Chicago’s ‘Vendor Payments – New Arrivals Mission’ webpage detailing the $574.5 million that has been spent on the immigrant crisis thus far.

    It’s relevant to note that the recent trove of FOIA emails between the White House, city officials, and FEMA reference an amount of $20 million being released from an embargo.

    This could be the amount that was allocated to food services. However, the recent email chain only discusses placing immigrants in facilities, warming and transporting them in buses, and reports a detailed census on the new arrivals.

    Given the context of the recent email chain, it’s plausible that the $20 million referenced could be in addition to the food services funds and reserved for these location and transportation services.

    It has been established that the Federal Government has not only allowed the immigrant invasion at the border, but it has also funded it with tax dollars.

    It is not surprising that distrust in government is at an all-time high. While Americans in Florida and North Carolina suffer from hurricane fallout, non-citizens are reaping the benefits of shelter, food, clothing, and cell phones.

    Most egregious, the unit of government designated to deal with Emergency Response – FEMA – is funding the care for the illegal immigrants.

    In other words, the government intentionally created an emergency of illegal immigration, diverted funds away from tax paying Americans who need emergency response, and applied them to non-citizens.

    Things get more interesting as Special Assistant to the President of the United States, Molly Ritner, enters the scene.

    City of Chicago officials had requested information from the White House on available Federal sites for housing illegals. Special Assistant Ritner provides the following:

    “32 federal sites across the State of Illinois were identified as having vacant space — this included review of potential space across federal agencies including DOD.”

    With the City requesting Federal agency space, including Department of Defense, it would appear as if the State of Illinois has a refugee crisis on their hands. The Gateway Pundit previously reported on human trafficking among other crimes at Chicago migrant facilities.

    The Gateway Pundit has reported on multiple criminal activities at these migrant facilities showing Chicago police and public services are incapable of managing the crisis. The evidence shows unpreparedness indicating the crisis has been manufactured hastily.

    Further on in the emails, Special Assistant Ritner is found advising the City of Chicago about warming, or cooling buses provided by FTA (Federal Transit Administration).

    She indicates that the buses can be used for warming, or cooling ‘vulnerable populations’ as long as the transit agency can perform it’s ‘revenue service.’

    Additionally, Special Assistant Ritner advises the City that FTA funds can be used for ‘non-traditional’ public transportation, aka illegal immigrant transportation.

    At least Chief of Staff for Chicago Mayor Brandon Johnson, Cristina Pacione-Zayas, is concerned about the welfare of the immigrants.

    In an email from October 19, 2023, she points out that the White House, DHS, and FEMA agreed to submit deliverables including, “Mobile assets to ensure new arrivals sleeping in the streets have access to heat throughout the night…” Pacione-Zayas lists a PhD next to her name on LinkedIn indicating importance and authority. Further investigation shows her doctorate is in “Educational Policy Studies.”

    Terry Newsome documented these findings in a recent video post on X. The heartbreaking reality is the inhumane treatment of Chicago and Illinois’ very own citizens. In the clip, Newsome interviews bus drivers and homeless men.

    The bus driver openly admits that the bus is for migrants. Homeless men in tents in freezing temperatures had attempted to board the warming buses and were denied.

    A homeless man reports that he knows a friend who lost his fingers and toes. Another woman he knew died. One man in a wheel chair is brought to tears describing the situation and his sympathy for veterans.

    As he laments the mistreatment, his final comment is salient, “…it’s like we’re disposable people.”

    The need for retribution regarding the immigration crisis is long overdue. The Trump administration’s promise to ameliorate this crisis is imperative. What’s lost in the political argumentation is the human cost.

    In matter of fact, a federal government has abused its own citizens as a result of corruption and over-politicization of government institutions. The illegal immigration issue is not only a manufactured humanitarian crisis. It should be the basis of accountability for government officials to stand trial for crimes against humanity.

  7. Satanic Temple Launches Program at Ohio Elementary School — Calls it ‘Hellions Academy of Independent Learning’
    thegatewaypundit.com/2024/12/satanic-temple-launches-program-ohio-elementary-school-calls/
    Dec. 6, 2024 10:45 am

    The Satanic Temple has been allowed to launch a program at an Ohio elementary school.

    The “Hellions Academy of Independent Learning,” also known as “HAIL,” program is offered to Edgewood Elementary School students in Marysville.

    The Satanic Temple targeted the school because of its partnership with LifeWise Academy, a Christian Release Time Religious Instruction (RTRI) program, which teaches students about the Bible for one hour each week if their parents opt them into the program.

    The organization claims that since the program is permitted for Christians, it must be allowed for any religion — including Satanists.

    The Satanic Temple said in a press release:

    RTRI was first introduced to public schools in response to the US Supreme Court’s 1952 ruling in Zorach v. Clauson. SCOTUS found that such programs do not violate the First Amendment’s Establishment Clause. The Supreme Court’s ruling makes it clear that schools are not obligated to approve RTRI programs, and these groups may not use the public school’s facilities or public resources of any kind. If a school approves an RTRI, it may not discriminate among religious groups.

    Due to Christian organizations like the Joy El Club and the Lifewise Academy, Christian RTRI programs have expanded rapidly across the country, and they aim to have active programs in every school district that allows them. The Satanic Temple, meanwhile, argues that the groups are being used to exclude non-Christian students and promote Christianity. By presenting these field trips and other activities as only available to Christian students, TST argues that these groups leverage children’s social groupings to encourage religious conversion.

    “It is sad these programs feel the need to use the peer pressure to gain adherents to their religion,” said TST Director of Campaign Operations Erin Helian in a statement. “However one measures a religion, it is not a good look to prey upon children by bribing them with field trips and snacks.”

    The Temple claims that during the meetings, “students will be presented with various educational arts and crafts, games, and community service projects through which they can learn about Satanic values, such as empathy, compassion, and justice.”

  8. NYC Chaos Shows that Gun Controllers Aren’t Serious about Crime
    Ammoland Inc. Posted on December 6, 2024 by NRAHQ

    Opinion

    For decades, NRA-ILA has pointed out that gun control advocates are disingenuous when it comes to public safety. Anti-gun politicians and the agencies and jurisdictions they control seek to encumber and disarm law-abiding individuals in any manner possible, while at the same time failing to vigorously enforce the law against dangerous criminals.

    Consider a pair of recent stories from arguably the gun control capital of America, New York City.

    On November 15, the New York Post ran a story with the wild headline, “Migrant with loaded AR-15, suspected Mexican cartel member freed from jail after alleged assault on NYPD cops.” According to the item, a 20-year-old “migrant… was hit with assault, gun possession, resisting arrest and trespassing charges after being nabbed urinating in a subway tunnel on Nov. 5 — while lugging the assault weapon in his backpack.” The report indicated that two police officers were injured trying to take the individual into custody.

    An item from the New York Daily News stated that the firearm “was loaded with 25 live rounds and had a defaced serial number.” Further, the paper noted that the young suspect has two prior arrests.

    According to the Post, the alleged criminal was released after posting $25,000 bail.

    The suspect is innocent until proven guilty. However, it is instructive to consider how the reported facts line up with federal, state, and local gun control laws.
    Possession of a firearm in New York City requires a license (handguns) or a permit (rifles and shotguns).

    Possessing so-called “assault weapons,” such as the AR-15, is prohibited by state law (NY PENAL § 265.02(7)). Possessing so-called “large capacity ammunition feeding devices,” including a magazine with a capacity greater than 10 rounds, is prohibited by state law (NY PENAL § 265.02(8)). Possessing a “firearm, rifle or shotgun which has been defaced for the purpose of concealment or prevention of the detection of a crime” is prohibited by state law (NY PENAL § 265.02(3)). These state crimes are punishable as class D felonies.

    NY PENAL § 265.01-e, “Criminal possession of a firearm, rifle or shotgun in a sensitive location,” provides,

    1. A person is guilty of criminal possession of a firearm, rifle or shotgun in a sensitive location when such person possesses a firearm, rifle or shotgun in or upon a sensitive location, and such person knows or reasonably should know such location is a sensitive location.

    2. For the purposes of this section, a sensitive location shall mean:

    …

    (n) any place, conveyance, or vehicle used for public transportation or public transit, subway cars, train cars, buses, ferries, railroad, omnibus, marine or aviation transportation; or any facility used for or in connection with service in the transportation of passengers, airports, train stations, subway and rail stations, and bus terminals;

    …

    Criminal possession of a firearm, rifle or shotgun in a sensitive location is a class E felony.

    New York has claimed that this is an important statute, defending against challenges to its dubious “sensitive location” gun ban in the federal courts in the wake of the U.S. Supreme Court’s decision in New York State Rifle & Pistol Association v. Bruen (2022).

    The New York Post article pointed out, “It was not immediately clear” if the migrant suspect is in the U.S. lawfully.

    Federal law (18 USC §922(g)) prohibits firearm possession by any person,

    (5) who, being an alien–

    (A) is illegally or unlawfully in the United States; or

    (B) except as provided in subsection (y)(2), has been admitted to the United States under a nonimmigrant visa (as that term is defined in section 101(a)(26) of the Immigration and Nationality Act (8 U.S.C. 1101(a)(26)));

    A violation of this subsection is punishable by up to 10 years imprisonment.

    Federal law (18 USC §922(k)) provides,

    It shall be unlawful for any person knowingly to transport, ship, or receive, in interstate or foreign commerce, any firearm which has had the importer’s or manufacturer’s serial number removed, obliterated, or altered or to possess or receive any firearm which has had the importer’s or manufacturer’s serial number removed, obliterated, or altered and has, at any time, been shipped or transported in interstate or foreign commerce.

    A violation of this subsection is punishable by up to 5 years imprisonment.

    Given the plethora of gun laws on the books, and the suspect’s other alleged conduct, a jurisdiction interested in public safety might have found a way to keep this gentleman off the streets.
    The next tale reiterates the Big Apple and its anti-gun politicians’ indifference to crime.

    On November 18, a deranged man allegedly went on a cross-Manhattan stabbing spree that left three New Yorkers dead. The suspect’s lengthy criminal record and history of mental illness has led many to question how the city deals with crime. Even New York City Mayor Eric Adams noted, “He was sentenced a few months ago, and there’s a real question that we need to look at on why he was out on the streets, and he has some severe mental health issues that should have been examined.”

    Discussing the suspect, NBC News reported,

    [the suspect] was released from a New York City jail on Oct. 17 for time served on burglary and assault charges, records showed. Records showed that he is alleged to have committed grand larceny by taking property from a Manhattan store on the day he was released.

    And earlier this year, [the suspect] was charged with multiple crimes in neighboring New Jersey, according to the Hudson County Prosecutor’s Office.

    The piece went on to note, “In total, [the suspect] has been arrested eight times in New York City in the past year, court records showed. He also has been arrested in Ohio and Florida.”

    A New York Post editorial titled, “New York let a crazy career criminal roam the streets and now three people are dead,” added, “In May, [the suspect] spent time in the Bellevue psych ward, where he assaulted a correction officer.”

    The sister of one of the suspect’s alleged victims had a more reasonable position than the city’s anti-gun but soft-on-crime politicians. She said of the suspect, “He has committed many crimes… He is on the loose, and it should not be like that. We need security for the city.”

    Given anti-gun politicians’ demonstrated inability or unwillingness to tackle violent crime using the existing laws at their disposal, any demand to further encumber law-abiding gun owners should be rejected out of hand.
