Secretary of Defense welcomes Elon and DOGE to the Pentagon

Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth invited Elon Musk and his Department of Government Efficiency (DOGE) team to audit the Pentagon

focusing on rooting out waste, fraud, and inefficiency, which has caused frustration among Democrats

Hegseth, a staunch critic of woke identity politics in the military, is committed to strengthening the military and cutting unnecessary spending, starting with programs like climate change initiatives, which he believes should not be funded by the Defense Department.

Trump’s mandate for government efficiency is being carried out through Hegseth’s collaboration with Musk, aiming to save billions of dollars and redirect the funds to supporting warfighters and strengthening national defense.

Democrats and the media have been freaking out about DOGE exposing billions and billions of dollars in waste, fraud, and abuse in the federal bureaucracy.

Hegseth praised Musk as a “great patriot interested in advancing the America First agenda” and reminded Democrats that “Trump got 77 million votes in a mandate from the American people, and part of that is bringing actual businesslike efficiency to government.”

“And I hope to welcome Elon to the Pentagon very soon,” he added. “And his team is working in collaboration with us.”

The question for me is--why are Democrats opposed to getting rid of fraud and waste in our federal government?

Pete Hegseth now Secretary of Defense

Pete Hegseth confirmed to lead Pentagon after VP Vance casts tie-breaking vote

All Dems opposed the confirmation

The vote was 50/50 with J.D. Vance our Vice President, casting the deciding vote.

The Senate’s two "moderate" Republican women: Lisa Murkowski, R-Alaska, and Susan Collins, R-Maine, voted "no" as did Sen. Mitch McConnell, the former GOP leader. What a way to go out, Mitch! He will be remembered for that one "no" vote...his legacy.

The Pete Hegseth inquisition deadly by Democrats at Senate Armed Services Committee

Chuckie Schumer Urges Democrats to Scrutinize Trump Nominees Before Hearings

Senate Majority Leader Chuck Schumer is reportedly urging Democratic senators to apply rigorous scrutiny to nominees proposed by President-elect Donald Trump as confirmation hearings approach.

Schumer’s directive highlights the party’s intention to hold appointees accountable and examine their qualifications and positions closely.

In a strategy meeting, Schumer emphasized the importance of vetting each nominee thoroughly, particularly those slated for high-profile roles. He reportedly called on senators to ask detailed questions about policies, past actions, and any potential conflicts of interest.

This approach aligns with the Democrats’ broader commitment to ensuring that nominees meet high ethical and professional standards. You almost have to laught at that one! [Steadfast Loyalty]

Pete Hegseth

The tide is turning in Pete Hegseth’s confirmation fight

Pete Hegseth is fighting off a vicious smear campaign to get confirmed and no group of people do it better than Democrats--they lie with inpunity but it all did catch up with them in the General Election this year.

The momentum is beginning to shift.

And Pete Hegseth heard one secret from a Republican Senator that wrecked Democrats. RINO U.S. Senators Joni Ernst (R-IA) and Lindsey Graham (R-SC), who were working to kill his confirmation behind the scenes, flipped. They now support him and reject the false smears against Pete.

Republicans have a 53-47 majority in the Senate. Hegseth can only afford to lose three Republican Senators if every Democrat votes against him.

Lloyd Austin makes right decision for those behind 9/11

Lloyd Austin Recinds Plea Deal Reinstating the Death Penalty for 9/11 Mastermind

Negotiations for a plea deal had been ongoing, but they were fraught with complications. Last year, Biden blocked a proposed plea bargain, refusing to offer the requested guarantees.

Austin’s recent decision to take charge and rescind the plea deal shows strong leadership and a commitment to justice.

Negotiations for a plea deal had been ongoing, but they were fraught with complications.

One of the complications happened last year when Joe Biden blocked an earlier proposed plea bargain because it didn’t offer the requested guarantees that the men would be spared solitary confinement and provide trauma care for their torture.

We see Austin’s recent decision as a necessary correction to Biden’s misstep.

Austin’s recent decision to take charge and rescind the plea deal shows strong leadership and a commitment to justice.

"It's all about Treating People with Dignity"

Biden: ‘I, I Named a, Uh, the, Uh, Secretary of Defense, The Black Man’

Joe Biden sat down for an interview and announced that he had given an interview to BET News stating that he would reconsider his decision to run if a doctor diagnosed him with a “medical condition.”

“If I had some medical condition that emerged, if somebody, if doctors came to me and said, you got this problem and that problem,” Biden told interviewer Ed Gordon.

But the interview quickly turned into a total catastrophe as Biden turned into a rambling mess with him stumbling constantly, forgetting names, and making disturbing remarks.

The worst part, though, was when he forgot the name of HIS OWN SECRETARY DEFENSE, simply calling him “the Black man” while fumbling over his words in front of Martin, who is Black.

American First Legal sues Dept of Defense

Stephen Miller, President American First Legal
The Right's answer to the ACLU

America First Legal Files Lawsuit Against Biden's DOD Over Secret Obama-Era Order to Aid Trump

In a bold legal move, America First Legal has initiated a lawsuit against the Department of Defense, alleging concealment of pivotal records from the Obama era.

This legal action is aimed at uncovering documents believed to be crucial for Donald Trump's defense in his ongoing classified documents case, as the Post Millennial reports.

The lawsuit, filed on Thursday, accuses the Department of Defense of unlawfully withholding information about the Presidential Information Technology Committee (PITC). This committee was established during Barack Obama's presidency with the objective of enhancing presidential information systems and resources.

The controversy centers around the PITC's supposed implication that the president has absolute control over presidential information. This forms the cornerstone of AFL's argument, suggesting that Trump had the authority to retain the documents he is now accused of unlawfully holding.

Department of Defense Contracted with Chinese Group

Contracted Firm Given Direct Access to Service members and Their Kids

Who could be more suitable for tutoring the children of active service members than a company closely linked to the Chinese Communist Party?

According to a report by the Daily Caller, the Chinese-owned Primavera Capital Group has a contract with the Department of Defense to offer Tutor.com, a company under its ownership, to service members and their families.

The CEO, Fred Hu, not only has direct ties to the CCP but is also associated with organizations identified by the U.S. government as part of CCP’s “United Front.”

This “United Front,” also known as the United Front Work Department, has been flagged by the U.S.-China Economic and Security Review Commission as a group aimed at influencing foreign entities and gathering intelligence.

Senator Tom Cotton cited notable issues with Tutor.com, claiming it collects personal data on users, such as “location, internet protocol addresses, and contents of the tutoring sessions,” which is then sent to the Chinese government.Z

Pentagon Leaks

John Kirby Can’t Answer Crucial Question of National Safety

Just another day in the Biden Administration

There are growing concerns about leaks of Pentagon documents that made their way onto the internet. Some of them allegedly contained highly sensitive intelligence regarding aspects of the readiness of the Ukrainian armed forces.

But it wasn't just information about the Ukrainian armed forces, there were also copies of the daily intelligence report provided to Defense Secretary Lloyd Austin and Chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff Army Gen. Mark Milley, Central Intelligence Agency reports on leaders of Israel’s Mossad spy service, and intelligence on discussions within the government of South Korea on sales of artillery ammunition to Kyiv.

Find the leakers and prosecute! The Enemy is from within.

Egypt exposed in covert plot to send rockets to Russia

Leaked Docs: One Of America’s Closest Allies Tried To Send Weapons To Russia

"One of America’s closest allies in the Middle East had plans to send military supplies to support Russia in its invasion of Ukraine, recently revealed classified documents show.

President Abdel Fatah El-Sisi of Egypt, a major recipient of American foreign aid, recently called on subordinates to build roughly 40,000 rockets to be covertly shipped to Russia, a leaked American intelligence document shows.

The Washington Post wrote, “A portion of a top secret document, dated Feb. 17, summarizes purported conversations between Sisi and senior Egyptian military officials and also references plans to supply Russia with artillery rounds and gunpowder. In the document, Sisi instructs the officials to keep the production and shipment of the rockets secret “to avoid problems with the West.”

“Secretary Austin, I don’t believe you."

Top GOP Senator Charges Secretary of Defense

There was a brutal hearing last week that featured Secretary of Defense Lloyd Austin.

He and Senator Tom Cotton (R-AR) had a rather heated exchange.

Not in temperament, but in the allegations levied against the Defense Department.

First comes the Tanks; Then comes the Nukes

Trump Warns Against Endless Ukraine Funding

‘First Come The Tanks, Then Come The Nukes’

On Wednesday, both the American and German governments promised that they would send dozens of battle tanks to Ukraine. 31 M1 Abrams and 14 Leopard 2 tanks are set to be delivered to the embattled nation.

“Putin expected Europe and the United States to weaken our resolve,” Joe Biden said. “He was wrong from the beginning and he continues to be wrong… This is about helping Ukraine defend and protect Ukrainian land. It is not an offensive threat to Russia.”

Robert Gates, Obama’s highly respected Secretary of Defense said, he’s (Biden) been wrong on nearly every major foreign policy and national security issue over the past four decades.

Sak told Reuters that his government was optimistic that they would receive them. “They didn’t want to give us heavy artillery, then they did. They didn’t want to give us Himars systems, then they did. They didn’t want to give us tanks, now they’re giving us tanks. Apart from nuclear weapons, there is nothing left that we will not get,” he added.

As Russia continues to annihilate Ukraine, Zelensky knows he will get anything he wants from Biden. We are at war with Russia whether the U.S. wants to admit it or not.

Defense Secretary Lloyd Austin announces HIS Abortion Policy

Biden Administration Approves Pentagon Funding Travel Costs for Abortions

Conservative Journal Review: Joe Biden and his Secretary of Defense are being a bit too liberal with taxpayer funds.

On Thursday, Secretary Austin announced a new abortion policy for the military. The Pentagon will now pick up travel costs for military who wish to travel out of state for an abortion. Legal?

Austin stated, “Our Service members and their families are often required to travel or move to meet our staffing, operational, and training requirements. “Such moves should not limit their access to reproductive health care.”
  • First, abortion is not health care… health care is caring for health, not killing someone.
  • Second, using public funds for abortion costs is illegal.
  • Third, the only exceptions are stipulated in the Hyde Amendment.
Austin is really splitting hairs here by approving travel costs and not actual procedural costs, but expect this to wind up in the courts very soon.

Austin added, “In my judgment, such effects qualify as unusual, extraordinary, hardship, or emergency circumstances for service members and their dependents and will interfere with our ability to recruit, retain, and maintain the readiness of a highly qualified force.”

So, in essence, Austin has decided to circumvent the Constitution of the United States and Congress.

On another note, the Pentagon supports abortions, but not religious exemptions for vaccines.

Army asking all service personnel to get vaccinated

Army cuts pay, benefits from 57,000 unvaccinated National Guard, Reserves

Army pledges to keep encouraging service members to get the vaccine

"Beginning July 1, 2022, members of the Army National Guard and U.S. Army Reserve who have refused the lawful DOD COVID-19 vaccination order without an approved or pending exemption may not participate in federally funded drills and training and will not receive pay or retirement credit," the Army said in a July 1 release obtained by Fox News Digital.

Roughly 13 percent of the Army National Guard and 12 percent of Army Reservists remain unvaccinated — a margin that could prove detrimental to the ranks as the service struggles with low recruitment."

Gaetz and Austin go head to head

Matt Gaetz Went Nose To Nose With The Defense Secretary And Ripped Him Apart….

Representative Matt Gaetz and Secretary of Defense Lloyd Austin went head to head at the House Armed Services hearing. Gaetz ripped Austin for overseeing a military infested with “wokeism.”

The congressman asked Austin about an event called “Responding to China: The Case for Global Justice and Democratic Socialism” that was held last month at the National Defense University. He noted that the speaker, Thomas Piketty, promoted “socialism as a strategy to combat China.” [the patriotnation]

Austin said he didn't know a thing about it. LOL

We lost the Green Dagger military exercises

Green Dagger Military Exercises

Two months following a humiliating and deadly surrender to the Taliban in Afghanistan, U.S. troops were routed in the Mojave Desert last week during a five-day training exercise that saw America and its closest ally face off.

It was "five days of grueling warfighting which saw allied forces — from the US, Canada, United Arab Emirates, the Netherlands and UK — join forces to take on a highly-equipped US Marine Corps adversary."

Well guess what? The United States Marines SURRENDERED (lost) on its own turf no less!

Too much woke critical race theory stuff under Lloyd Austin and General Milley.

Military Generals take Heat for Afghanistan debacle

Sen Hawley calls for Milley, Austin to resign during contentious Senate hearing

Joint Chiefs of Staff Chairman Gen. Mark Milley and Defense Secretary Lloyd Austin appeared on Capitol Hill this week for testimony related to the U.S. troop withdrawal from Afghanistan.

Sen. Josh Hawley (R-MO) reacted to the situation by calling on both military leaders to resign.

“I think this mission was a catastrophe”

There's no thinking about it--it WAS a catastrophe and it was all for Biden's ego and legacy that he was the one who ended the war in Afghanistan!

"No one said that to me," said Joe

Military leaders contradict Biden’s remarks about Afghanistan advice

"President Joe Biden has made a range of dubious remarks in an effort to diminish the outrage over his administration’s chaotic troop withdrawal from Afghanistan.

Now, a pair of claims that the president has made in recent weeks are being contradicted by senior military leaders.

As Foreign Policy reported, Austin, Milley, and McKenzie acknowledged their preference for keeping troops on the ground in Afghanistan to protect Americans and U.S. interests. Those remarks stand in stark contrast to remarks by Biden last month when asked if he had been advised by any military leaders to leave troops in the war-torn nation to maintain stability."

“No,” he replied. “No one said that to me that I can recall.”

U.S. Department of Defense is now evaluating Afghanistan

Pentagon Warns of Worsening Terrorist Threat After Taliban Takes Over Afghanistan



And on top of that, Biden threw Fuel On The Fire and delivered a cynical response to botched withdrawal. We will be welcoming "refugees" into the United States not knowing if they are terrorists or not.

And now, after biden botched this operation, they are evaluating Afghanistan?
