Massie should be censured. Pete endorsed his political opponent, and Massie used his position to try to get revenge. That should be recognized for the abuse of power it is.
TOTAL VICTORY! The referral of these baseless impeachment articles to the House Judiciary Committee marks total victory for Secretary Hegseth, the Department of War, and the American warfighter. From the beginning, this effort has been a political exercise devoid of merit, evidence, or seriousness. It collapses under the weight of Secretary Hegseth’s record of restoring the warrior ethos, delivering results, and putting the mission first. The American people see through it. We will not indulge the political theater driven by a disgruntled soon-to-be former congressman and others who have chosen grandstanding over governing. We look forward to ending this sham impeachment in the committee room, where facts will continue to prevail and this distraction can be put to rest. We will always stand tall and fight to defend the Republic!

BREAKING: House Republicans just successfully killed Rep. Thomas Massie’s (R-KY) impeachment resolution against Pete Hegseth (for now) by voting to refer it to the House Judiciary Committee in a 211-204 vote. The only Republican to vote with Democrats on this vote was Massie.

Connie's got a message for all of you TDS victims out there!
I was an Army Intel analyst for Special Forces and military police sergeant and I have spent over 40 collective months in Afghanistan over my 23 years of service. My background taught me how this actually works. I LIVED in their country. I SAW how they move and operate when they already hold power, and I STUDIED how they take a country when they don't. I saw girls beaten with fists and sticks. Kicked. I saw girls faces disfigured from acid attacks because they DARED to want to learn and have an education. I saw little boys as young as 9 years old treated as sexual entertainment through the accepted practice of bacha bazi (Chai Boys). I saw many a 'Man Love Thursday'. TOO MANY. I saw a culture where a woman accusing a powerful man of sexual abuse WOULD face shame, punishment and very likely DEATH because a man's word carried more weight than hers. Little girls are married off, bought and sold like livestock. These girls do not get a choice. It's either do it or DIE. They are controlled and hidden away underneath a burka. Inside a compound. No rights. No voice. They are OWNED by men. Five years after the Taliban returned to power, this isn't ancient history. Girls are still barred from school. Women are still hidden, abused and powerless. The Taliban has issued more than 100 decrees restricting women and girls and made child marriage and forced marriage even harder to escape. This is what I saw with my own eyes time and time again all over that country. This is what I KNOW. And this is what I see right now IN MY OWN COUNTRY, unfolding before our very eyes......and its f*cking terrifying. When Muslims are not the majority, they play a VERY different game. They label you an Islamaphobe. They demand tolerance. They demand their own rules. They build mosques and preach a 'Death to America' message from INSIDE our own country and make us pay them for it with our own tax dollars. They shame you for noticing. Then the second they see a path to power, they get bold. They see that path in America right now. An IMAM in TEXAS just said it out loud......he said on camera, now that the state 'turned blue', it's their chance to TAKE OVER. That's why they're getting more brazen by the day. Next, they'll build more mosques with Americans' tax dollars. They'll keep infiltrating our government so they can fight us from the inside. And once that foothold is strong enough, they WILL start implementing Sharia law. I've already seen that ending. We HAVE to REJECT this and KICK THEM THE F*CK OUT!!! We owe it to our daughters and our sons not to let that shit live here. 🇺🇸🪖 Spread this message like our kids' lives depend on it because they 100% DO!!!! Below is one of the many schools we built that the Taliban seized after we left country. I'm the one in the middle. 5'2 but locked and loaded. And thanking GOD every day that I took a breath in that country that- 1. I had guns and bullets 2. That I was an American 3. That I had the full force of the United States military on my side Seeing this very same religion and culture that's destroyed so many other countries come to MY America is even scarier than seeing it there. This is OUR home. But it will be unrecognizable if we don't stand up and FIGHT against this with everything we have!

Dario: “I am supportive of the US being more effective militarily. Having that ability be stronger doesn’t cause wars. It deters wars.” More of this!
“Claude can help US kill more people more quickly ?” Host: “With the help of LLMs, the US military has gone from hitting 1,000 targets a day to 5,000. That means Claude can help kill more people more quickly. Are you comfortable with that?” Dario Amodei: “I am supportive of the US being more effective militarily. Having that ability be stronger doesn’t cause wars. It deters wars.” “Do you want this country to be a more powerful actor on the world stage? I do. I’m a patriot.”

Brilliant! US Democrats *save* the IRGC from certain ruin! How much are the Iranians paying these asshats?? #Iran
NEW: Sen. Chris Van Hollen says Democrats should shut down the government on December 11 to block funding for the Iran War. Democrats don’t even take control until January. “Democrats should not vote for any appropriation bills that has any money in it for the illegal war in Iran. Period.” If Trump shuts down the government “to keep his war going,” Van Hollen says that’s “his choice.” “We don’t have to wait till January. We should really do that now.”

Why in the hell do we need 40K foreign professors??? I'm pretty darn sure there are 40K educated, talented Americans who could take these jobs tomorrow...
🚨 There are currently over 40,000 foreign professors with temporary visas in America. They're unleashed on our college students. Professor Sumith Gunasekera was at Ferris State University in Michigan. He's an illegal alien and convicted sex offender from Sri Lanka. Arrested by ICE for multiple sex crimes and overstaying his visa since 2004. It would be a profound understatement to suggest that many of these professors pose a national security risk.

There is a MAJOR problem with the Midterm Results in Ohio 🚨 The election results show there were more Republican votes for Auditor and Treasurer than for US Senate and Governor seats So Republicans came out to vote Red for Auditor but Blue for US Senate and flipped the seat?? YEAH RIGHT Auditor: 2,310,105
Attorney General: 2,256,710
Treasurer: 2,232,758
Supreme Court (Jan. 1 term): 2,215,728
Supreme Court (Jan. 2 term): 2,200,021
All U.S. House: 2,178,153
Secretary of State: 2,129,981
US Senate: 2,077,748
Governor: 2,039,730 The Senate race was against Democrat Sherrod Brown, and he won So Democrats flipped this seat because voters only turned out to vote Red for Auditor and Treasurer but then voted Democrat for Senate?? There is NO WAY

For all of you calling it cope, check this page out. No, it's not PROOF. Just highly suggestive... For ex, in my state of NC, all Conservative ballot measures passed 60/40, and yet, we elected a bunch of Dems to federal offices at 40/60... I'm just asking questions...

The idea that Senate GOP could get this brutal ass-whooping and respond by rolling its decrepit leadership back into power is honestly EMBARRASSING. “Let’s keep the same pathetic leadership.” HAVE SOME DECENCY! Step down as a matter of honor! Stop crapping on your own voters!

FACT CHECK: Bill, you are wrong about paper ballot audits. @mitchellvii Without commenting about whether there is an algorithm at work, states like Texas either use a series of dice rolls or a lottery ball machine to select precincts for “random” paper ballot audits. Many won’t even let you inspect a physical sample of paper, and will push ballot images. Regardless, here’s the problem: The number of potential numeric combinations (approximately a million possibilities) from the dice rolls or lottery system, wildly exceed the number of precincts in a state. Meaning, there isn’t a 1 to 1 relationship. As a result, auditors are entering the dice roll or lottery selection into a COMPUTER, which then SELECTS a precinct through a program. It’s not random. We’ve audited many counties and performed a state wide study of the precincts “randomly” selected. The SAME set of precincts were selected over and over again. Part of the cheat is to direct auditors to clean precincts under the auspices of randomness. It’s a magic trick. Second, the sample number of physical ballots is so statistically insignificant that auditors cannot draw meaningful conclusions. Signed, A guy who has done audits
🇺🇸 FRAUD REALITY CHECK: Here's the simplest reason the 85/15 ALGORITHM theory falls apart in TEXAS: PAPER. Since a 2021 state law, every voting machine in Texas has to produce a paper record of every vote. After the election, counties pull a sample of those paper ballots and HAND COUNT them. Then they compare the hand count to what the machines reported. The Secretary of State picks which precincts get checked, and candidates can send people to watch. An algorithm can change a number on a computer. It can't change a piece of paper sitting in a locked box. If machines had flipped 15% of the vote, the paper and the computer would disagree, and the audit would catch it right away. 🚨 No mismatch, no algorithm.

And your graph just confirms it. Democrats & Indies turned out at presidential level for a mid-term that was NOT particularly motivating. In 2022, while the inflation rate was SOARING, and the Southern Border was being invaded, we got 105 million mid-term voters. While there's a non-violent stalemate in the middle east, and inflation is moderate, we suddenly get a 20% increase in mid-term votes? How? Why? Where did these voters come from?
Now that all the funded accounts are passing around "the chart," here's a more complete view that shows you what has happened. Democrats got near 2024 turnout (mirroring special election and primary turnout). Republicans did not. And Independents, while down, swung massively against Republicans. And to top it off, Republicans defected more than normal. Doesn't look like fraud now, does it?

Hey GOP, Want to earn back some votes? Pass this on Monday!!!
The OPT program gives employers a 7.65% payroll tax break for hiring certain foreign graduates over Americans. Notre Dame grad student Zach Gordon explains how OPT puts his generation at a disadvantage and why Congress should pass H.R. 2315 and end it.

DIVORCE AGREEMENT THIS IS INCREDIBLY WELL-PUT, AND I CAN HARDLY BELIEVE IT'S WRITTEN BY A STUDENT!!! WHATEVER HE RUNS FOR, I'LL VOTE FOR HIM. Dear American liberals, leftists, social progressives, socialists, Marxists, and Obama supporters, et al: We have stuck together since the late 1950s for the sake of the kids, but the whole of this latest election process has made me realize that I want a divorce. I know we tolerated each other for many years for the sake of future generations, but sadly, this relationship has clearly run its course. Our two ideological sides of America cannot and will not ever agree on what is right for us all, so let's just end it on friendly terms. We can smile and chalk it up to irreconcilable differences and go our own way. Here is our separation agreement: Our two groups can equitably divide up the country by land mass, each taking a similar portion. That will be the difficult part, but I am sure our two sides can come to a friendly agreement. After that, it should be relatively easy! Our respective representatives can effortlessly divide other assets, since both sides have such distinct and disparate tastes. —We don't like redistributive taxes, so you can keep them. --You are welcome to the liberal judges and the ACLU. --Since you hate guns and war, we'll take our firearms, the cops, the NRA, and the military. --We'll take the nasty, smelly oil industry and the coal mines, and you can go with wind, solar, and bio-diesel. --You can keep Oprah, Whoopi, Bill Maher, Michael Moore and Rosie O'Donnell. You are, however, responsible for finding a bio-diesel vehicle big enough to move all five of them. --We'll keep capitalism, greedy corporations, pharmaceutical companies, Wal-Mart, and Wall Street. --You can have your beloved lifelong welfare dwellers, food stamps, homeless, homeboys, hippies, druggies, and illegal aliens. --We'll keep the hot Alaskan hockey moms, greedy CEOs, and rednecks. --We'll keep Bill O’Reilly and Bibles and give you NBC and Hollywood. --You can make nice with Iran and Palestine and we'll retain the right to invade and hammer places that threaten us. --You can have the peaceniks and war protesters. --When our allies or our way of life are under assault, we'll help provide them security. --We'll keep our Judeo-Christian values. --You are welcome to Islam, Scientology, Humanism, political correctness, and Shirley McLaine. You can also have the UN., but we will no longer be paying the bill. --We'll keep the SUVs, pickup trucks, and oversized luxury cars. You can take every Volt and Leaf you can find. --You can give everyone health care if you can find any practicing doctors. --We'll keep "The Battle Hymn of the Republic" and "The National Anthem." --I'm sure you'll be happy to substitute "Imagine," "I'd Like to Teach the World to Sing," "Kum Baya," or "We Are the World." --We'll practice trickle-down economics and you can continue to give trickle-up poverty your best shot. --Since it often so offends you, we'll keep our history, our name, and our flag. Would you agree to this? If so, please pass it along to other like-minded liberal and conservative patriots and if you do not agree, just hit delete. In the spirit of friendly parting, I'll bet you might think about which one of us will need whose help in 15 years. Sincerely, John J. Wall Law Student and an American P.S. Also, please take George Clooney, Ted Turner, Sean Penn, Martin Short, Charlie Sheen, Barbra Streisand, and (Hanoi) Jane Fonda with you. P.P.S. And you won't have to press 1 for English when you call our country. Forward This Every Time You Get It ! Let's Keep This Going, Maybe Some Of It Will Start Sink in.

Balkanization is the fragmentation or division of a larger region, state, or society into smaller, mutually hostile groups or factions, often based on ethnicity, culture, or political identity. In contemporary politics, the Left actively drives the balkanization of society through the relentless enforcement of identity politics. By obsessively categorizing citizens into hyper-specific, grievance-based factions, progressive ideologies demand allegiance to a tribal group rather than the nation itself. This deliberate fracturing destroys shared cultural values and civic unity, replacing a cohesive society with a chaotic web of competing victimhoods that the Left manipulates for electoral power. The term originated in the early 20th century following the aftermath of the First World War. It was coined to describe the geopolitical fragmentation of the Balkan Peninsula in Europe. The collapse of the Ottoman and Austro-Hungarian empires left the region divided into several smaller, ethnically defined, and frequently warring states. Over the decades, the word evolved from a strictly geopolitical descriptor into a broader sociological term used to describe any unified system breaking down into antagonistic factions. For example: "By pandering to radical enclaves and refusing to demand assimilation, the Left's policies have guaranteed the cultural balkanization of our cities; their handling of the Muslim issue—cheering for parallel societies that openly reject Western values—proves they would rather fracture the country than admit their multicultural utopia is a complete failure."
