Video shows soldier reprimanding Hegseth and advisers at Tomb of the Unknown Soldier

A US Army sentinel guarding the Tomb of the Unknown Soldier reprimanded Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth and a group of his senior advisers Wednesday after some in the group laughed and talked near the solemn memorial following a Veterans Day ceremony.

Guard at Tomb of Unknown Soldier yelling out at Hegseth to maintain decorum is both heartbreaking and inspiring - Flat Fiat

I would like to praise America’s bartenders, who, unlike the House of Representatives, have repeatedly cut Pete Hegseth off - Andy Borowitz

 

I'm so sorry but Hakeem Jeffries claiming to be able to deliver accountability over the past week and then LITERALLY FAILING TO HAVE HIS CAUCUS PRESENT TO IMPEACH HEGSETH is **INSANE** = Klaust

Are we really supposed to believe that the 11 Democrats who didn't show up for Pete Hegseth's impeachment vote couldn't make it because of "traffic?" - Didi

Jared Kushner Frees POWs. Bet You Never Thought You'd Read That.

Russia and Ukraine have agreed to a large swap of prisoners of war in a positive step during U.S.-brokered peace talks between the warring nations in Abu Dhabi.

“One of the positives is we agreed that we’re going to have the biggest humanitarian release of prisoners, which we’re going to finalize the numbers tomorrow,” Jared Kushner, U.S. President Donald Trump’s son-in-law and lead negotiator, told the Associated Press at the conclusion of the two-day talks.

So, why does the U.S. give Israel $4 billion a year for “infrastructure” when remote locations on the Navajo Nation Reservation have no access to electricity or basic running water?

Turned out the Epstein files are full of billionaires and not immigrants.

I Can't Decide Which Is Greater, Their Incompetence or Their Arrogance

The White House’s top lawyer is threatening Democratic lawmakers with potential criminal investigations over their own investigations into President Donald Trump and the Executive Branch.

White House counsel Will Scharf sent a letter, dated on Monday but publicly revealed on Wednesday, to incoming House Oversight Chair Robert Garcia (D-CA), warning that investigations into the Trump administration could “cross the line into blatant criminality.”

So weird that yesterday’s “traffic incident” seems to have only held up Democratic House members who receive significant AIPAC funding. 

DC traffic patterns sure are mystifying. - Sarah Axelrath, MD

Follow The Money!

Democrats on Capitol Hill are vowing to probe major banks with ties to deceased convicted sex offender Jeffrey Epstein once their new congressional majorities become official in January.

Those investigations, Democrats say, will provide insight into whether executives at financial institutions, such as JPMorgan Chase, Deutsche Bank and Bank of America, were aware of or even facilitated Epstein’s crimes. 

Abdul El-Sayed on CNN, when asked about 11 Dems who did not show up to vote for Hegseth impeachment: "You should show up and do your job."

Pete Hegseth calls Thomas Massie's impeachment effort 'sabotage' as GOP criticism over the Iran war mounts after midterm rout

Pete Hegseth calls Thomas Massie's impeachment effort 'sabotage' as GOP criticism over the Iran war mounts after midterm rout

President Trump has praised his defense secretary since the election, but Republicans who blame the war for their losses are calling for him to go.

Apparently, Trump Wanted Blood Thirsty ICE Agents

...The Trump administration has onboarded thousands of new officers in an accelerated recruitment effort that has bypassed traditional background checks in favor of quickly putting people onto the streets to arrest undocumented immigrants. In recent months, at least two of those hires were involved in shootings, including one that resulted in the death of a 25-year-old Colombian father. Some have been fired after U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement discovered red flags in their backgrounds that initially went undetected.

Epstein Files Update: GOP Clears Trump Of Any Wrongdoing 
The GOP’s report claims President Trump was not implicated in Epstein’s trafficking of women and young girls and accuses law enforcement and federal prosecutors of repeated failures, allowing Epstein’s abuse to continue long after his criminal investigation in 2005.

It’s good that Stephen Miller is getting a bigger office because he’s going to need it for all the subpoenas we’re going to send him. = Rep. Sam Liccardo

I saw the meme above on facebook and chuckled. On December 14, 2000, I was watching C-SPAN and Ann Richards was a guest. The 2000 Bush v Gore was still undecided. She called George W. Bush, all hat no cattle. I jumped up and ran to my computer to secure that domain name as I was searching for a name for a website. I secured allhatnocattle.net as .com was taken (I've since purchased .com). I 💛 Ann.

And the rest is history.

What Happened To You, California?

California's proposed billionaire tax went down to defeat, one of the final verdicts from voters in an election that saw a wave of anti-billionaire sentiment elsewhere.

The official call from the Associated Press came nearly a week after election day at 9:28 p.m. ET on Monday and showed California's Proposition 40 down by over 5 percentage points with 83% of the votes counted.

I just cut myself peeling an apple. That would've never happened with a donut.
