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.

Does Secretary Hegseth understand that if the orders from the Commander-In-Chief are illegal then carrying out the orders are also illegal. - John Brennan

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

Democrat Scott Colom's lead in the Mississippi Senate race has now increased to 2,575 votes. - Ken Griffin, MS NOW

 

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.
