Trump's loyalty to people is probably his greatest fault. I almost hope Graham tries something against Trump to end this relationship.

WOW! Here is the Sneaky GOP Senator Behind Pete Hegseth’s Ex-Sister-in-Law’s 11th Hour Hit Piece Affidavit - HE'S FINISHED. HE'S UP FOR RE-ELECTION IN '26. The Wall Street Journal reported late Friday that Senator Thom Tillis who previously said he would vote ‘yes’ on confirming Hegseth, was still undecided. A ‘no’ vote from Tillis could sink Hegseth’s nomination if McConnell, Murkowski and Collins all vote no. Tillis ended up voting “yes” to confirm Hegseth on Friday – Murkowski, Collins and McConnell all voted no so Vice President JD Vance had to come in with the tie-breaker. However, Tillis raised eyebrows after The Wall Street Journal reported he was creating chaos behind the scenes. Now we know why. Sneaky Tillis was working behind the scenes to sabotage Pete Hegseth by encouraging Danielle Hegseth to submit her 11th hour affidavit with allegations of abuse. The Wall Street Journal reported: A key witness in the contentious Senate confirmation of Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth was assured by Sen. Thom Tillis (R., N.C.) that her sworn statement would carry weight in last week’s vote and could persuade Republican senators to oppose the nominee, according to people familiar with the events. Tillis personally assured Danielle Hegseth in a call on Jan. 19, witnessed by two other people, that if she signed the statement testifying that she believed her former brother-in-law Pete Hegseth has an alcohol-abuse problem and was abusive to his second wife, it would carry weight, and potentially move three votes—his own, along with the votes of Sens. Susan Collins (R., Maine) and Lisa Murkowski (R., Alaska), those people said.

I thought all this crap was settled in previous cases. I don't get how they keep passing these laws. SCOTUS needs to man up and settle this once and for all. Colorado Republicans Warn New Gun Control Legislation Would Ban ‘Majority of Guns’ in the State

Star of New Captain America Movie Doesn’t Think the Character Should Represent America (VIDEO) - HE SOUNDS LIKE A SMART GUY. LMAO! I am surprised they didn't hire someone from ISIS for the role. The star of a new ‘Captain America’ movie, based on the Marvel Comics character, recently told an audience that he doesn’t think the character should represent America. Advanced ticket sales for this movie are not great and now they’re going to get even worse.

Treacherous Mark Milley Is Getting Hit Hard by Pete Hegseth From Three Different Angles Retired General Mark Milley’s security detail and clearance are being revoked by Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth, according to multiple senior administration officials who spoke to Fox News. This decision follows concerns over actions Milley took which undermined the military’s chain of command during Donald Trump’s first presidency. The move also involves the removal of a second portrait of Milley from the Pentagon, located in the Army’s Marshall Corridor, which honors his tenure as the Army’s Chief of Staff. This action is set to take place as soon as tonight, leaving no portraits of Milley within the building. The first portrait of Milley was taken down from the Pentagon on Inauguration Day, shortly after President Trump’s swearing-in ceremony. The Pentagon’s Acting Inspector General has been instructed to conduct a review to decide if there is sufficient evidence to demote Milley by removing one of his stars in retirement. This review will focus on actions Milley took that were perceived to challenge the established command structure during Trump’s tenure. CONTINUES...

DOGE is saving the Federal Government approx. $1 billion/day, mostly from stopping the hiring of people into unnecessary positions, deletion of DEI and stopping improper payments to foreign organizations, all consistent with the President’s Executive Orders.
