Former Obama advisers are openly calling for foreign countries to pursue criminal cases against Secretary Hegseth. Their proposal: “quietly gather evidence” now and wait until Trump leaves office to issue indictments.

NYT has responded to my post by claiming that I’m “spreading conspiracy theories.” But which of us is the one trafficking in unsubstantiated allegations? Recent coverage (including CNN, which I QT’d) shows: — The intelligence community has not established conclusive evidence that Alice Huang knowingly acted as a spy or funneled information to Beijing. — There is internal disagreement about the strength of the evidence and whether she was recruited by the MSS. — Attorney General Todd Blanche has said on the record that the Justice Department, he, and FBI Director Patel have reached no conclusions about “who she is or is not.” — Some officials at ODNI and CIA have indicated the “Chinese spy” label is not fully accurate or is “over-torqued” based on the available intercepts and collection. — Incoming House Intelligence Chairman Jim Himes, a Democrat, said it was still unclear whether Alice Huang was a Chinese spy immediately after he was briefed. NYT’s stories (which have alleged “Chinese spy” dozens of times) have relied exclusively on anonymous officials. No official has gone on the record affirming it as established fact, and the more recent reporting reflects greater caution and disagreement inside the government. So when I point out that the spy narrative is unconfirmed and increasingly contested, that is not a conspiracy theory. It’s a growing body of evidence that indicts the NYT’s reporting.
Bombshell story. The spy narrative is collapsing already. Is there clear & convincing evidence that Alice Huang was a Chinese spy? - AG says no. (“no conclusions reached”). - CIA says no. (“not yet convinced”). - DNI says no (“not entirely accurate and over-torqued”). - Ranking Democrat on House Intelligence (incoming Chairman) says no. (“today, at least, I don’t know”). This was immediately after he was briefed. Who argues otherwise? Anonymous officials tell CNN “it strains credulity to believe that she was not acting as an agent of the Chinese government — simply by virtue of the fact that she is a successful Chinese businesswoman working with one of America’s most powerful companies.” This is their proof after a year of investigating and surveillance? That she was a “successful Chinese businesswoman”? At this point, the only crime that we know for sure happened is the leaking of the classified memo. Who did that and why? An investigation should be opened.

The Electoral College was basically a compromise. The Founders wanted the president chosen with the people’s support, but they didn’t want a straight national popular vote or to just hand the decision to Congress. At the 1787 Constitutional Convention, they talked for months about how to pick a president. A direct popular vote worried them. Bigger states would almost always win. A lot of voters wouldn’t really know candidates from other parts of the country. And someone who was just good at stirring people up in one area could end up winning. Letting Congress pick the president worried them even more. The president would end up depending on Congress, which goes against the idea of keeping the branches separate. It also opened the door to backroom deals, corruption, or other countries trying to influence the choice. So they settled on the Electoral College. Each state gets electors equal to its number of House seats plus its two senators. Those electors cast the actual votes for president. You need a majority to win. If no one gets it, the House decides, and each state gets one vote. The states get to decide how they pick their electors. This setup treated the country as a union of states instead of one giant population. It gave smaller states more of a voice, kept the president from being controlled by Congress, and still let the people’s choice matter. Alexander Hamilton explained it in Federalist 68. He said the people’s voice still counts because they choose the electors. The electors would be people who could actually study the candidates and make a careful choice. Meeting in their own states (instead of all in one place) would make it harder for chaos, bribery, or foreign influence to take over. And the president would still depend on the people, not Congress, to stay in office. Hamilton also pointed out that being good at “the little arts of popularity” might get someone ahead in one state, but it would take real ability and character to win the confidence of the whole country. He thought the system made it very likely only someone highly qualified would end up as president. That’s the idea they were going for: a capable president with support across the country, protection for smaller states, and an executive that stayed independent. Things changed later with political parties and the winner-take-all system most states use now, but the basic structure is still what the Constitution set up. The Electoral College must be protected at all costs— it’s common sense in a country filled with lunatics.

What’s up Jerry, how is this for you: - $185 million stopped in Minnesota from going to daycares - $1.2 BILLION in California Medicaid deferred - The head “Learer” pleaded guilty to daycare fraud in Minnesota - Largest autism fraud bust in US history following my video - 450+ daycares in Minnesota shut down - 500+ hospices in LA shut down - Multiple NYC adult daycares raided and recently a $100m fraud bust in NYC - Over $250 BILLION in fraud exposed since my Minnesota fraud video Are you angry I’ve stopped money going to learers and put it back into the hands of the poor and needy who actually depend on these government programs? Please continue to defend people who rob, steal and cheat from the most vulnerable in the United States. I’ll continue to help America while you keep complaining on 𝕏.

Hey Kirk Cousins, Thank you for celebrating others' victories and lifting people without comparison or jealousy. When you celebrate God's blessings in others, you make room for your own. God's blessings aren't limited. Neither is His grace.

For too long, Washington treated America’s industrial decline as inevitable. President Trump recognized that it was the result of policy choices—and therefore reversible. The sector’s renewed momentum following @POTUS’s trade policy reset and the enactment of his historic tax cuts demonstrates that the right policies can reverse decades of industrial decline. American manufacturing is gaining momentum on every front. The sector has expanded for ten consecutive months and added 101,000 jobs so far this year. Output rose again in September, while job openings climbed to 584,000—the highest non-Covid-era reading on record.

Once you understand the incentive, the reason for the behavior becomes obvious: they are importing a left-voting bloc that depends on government handouts. A prominent example of this in America is Ilhan Omar and her Somali voting bloc in Minnesota, an area which used to be primarily Nordic-German. Importing voters is a CERTAIN path to a single-party supermajority and has ALREADY happened at the state level in California and New York. It also explains why those states have BANNED VOTER ID in order to accelerate a permanent socialist supermajority, destroying any semblance of democracy. We stand on the precipice of disaster, an end to America.
It is deeply weird that the absolute top priority for a lot of American and European politicians is bringing in millions of unvetted third-world immigrants. They could have shut down right wing populism entirely by compromising on this issue, but they refuse.

This report is circulating through the highest levels of the White House and DHS. I'll be revealing new details on Fox News tonight. This corruption cannot stand.
EXCLUSIVE: We spent weeks in Napa Valley investigating Gavin Newsom's wine empire. According to a whistleblower, the operation is built on undocumented migrant labor, in violation of the law. Illegal aliens pick the grapes—and Newsom sells the wine for up to $7,000 a bottle.

I can’t respond to @getnickwright’s post to me because he’s had me blocked on here since I said BLM was a total fraud and that LeBron faked the “hate crime” at his LA mansion. I was right, of course, about both of these things. I was a Democrat in 2015 — and 2016 — which he now says is the date of our dinner. He did not storm out of a dinner after telling me off. This is a very girly thing to brag about, but I’m pretty sure I would remember that because I would have found it funny. I don’t recall our dinner conversation from a decade ago, but I would presume it was similar to this private email I sent Nick that he posted on here back in 2017. You can read that if you wish. At the time I considered myself a radical moderate and felt alienated from the far left and far right. teapaw.org/claytravis/status/8717… Nick seems to spend a lot of time thinking about me since he’s now posted private emails and talked about private dinners from a decade+ ago. I’m flattered to be so memorable to him. I didn’t vote for a Republican for president until 2020. Covid radicalized me, as it did many people. As I’ve said and written for years, I didn’t leave the Democrat party, the Democrat party left me. If Nick wants to bet a million dollars on do I believe the things I say, I guess we can get a lie detector machine and fire it up. The first question can be, do you believe men pretending to be women should be allowed to play in women’s sports? I’m petty confident I will pass the test when I say hell no. Will you pass when you say yes, Nick?
I don't know that I've ever seen someone destroyed in the comments more than @getnickwright is here. Enjoy your morning reading these. #dbap teapaw.org/getnickwright/status/8…

Gold Star family here. I know people like you don’t actually give a damn what we’ve sacrificed or what we have to say unless it confirms your warped narrative, but I’ll say it anyway… Justice isn’t a political stunt wrapped in hollow promises to military families. Justice is accountability for the lives lost, the failures that cost them, and the families left to carry the consequences for the rest of their lives. It’s making sure our servicemembers have the leadership, resources, and support they deserve before another family gets a knock on the door that destroys their entire world. I stand with @SecWar Hegseth. And you certainly don’t speak for us.
Tonight, I voted to impeach Pete Hegseth. While that vote failed, impeachment will happen. 

It might happen tomorrow, it might happen in January—but we will remove him as Secretary of Defense and we will get justice for our veterans, servicemembers, and military families.

Do you guys ever notice it’s always the attorneys who throw out the term “War Criminal” in such a cavalier way? Attorneys who’ve never been anywhere close to the sound of gunfire eagerly judging those who do. Hey Tim, and I mean this with all of the contempt I possess in my soul: Fuck off. The acidic and defamatory opinion of a limp wristed lawyer who couldn’t be bothered to serve during GWOT is precisely worthless.
Hegseth should resign - or be relieved by POTUS - here's why. There is absolutely no doubt.. none whatsoever - he will be impeached for War Crimes in 2027 by a Democrat controlled House. 100% take it to the bank. Then it goes to the Senate. Vulnerable Republicans up for election in 2028 will either vote no - and be subject to attack for not removing a branded war criminal - or - vote yes - and he will be removed. Then we have a Dept of War with NO secretary and any future secretary being subject to approval of a Democrat controlled senate. The Dept of War will be leaderless for 18 months. We can't have that. Removing Hegseth now is the right thing to do - it takes him off the chess board. Every move made between now and 2028 by POTUS should be only about getting a Republican elected president in 2028. Keeping Hegseth into next year is going to hurt GOP Senators and the GOP brand moving into a critical 2028 election and will be a reason to alienate moderate voters from the GOP.

As a combat veteran and a father of military members, I STAND WITH PETE HEGSETH as Sec. of War. Sec. Hegseth has done more for the military than any Sec. of War, in my lifetime. He rescued it from the clutches of the woke leftist, who were destroying it. teapaw.org/RepMikeQuigley/status/…

Dear @LeaderJohnThune, Why did you BLOCK Trump's recess appointments? Why are there 700+ bills waiting in the Senate? Why did you take MONTHS-LONG vacations? Did you pass the SAVE AMERICA Act? Did defund the Taliban? No, you didn't. You failed the American people, miserably.

Advisor to Speaker Johnson TORCHES John Thune, Says He Could Pass The SAVE America Act RIGHT NOW, but it’s Just Sitting on His Desk. Hogan Gidley points out that it only needs a simple majority because it’s in a reconciliation bill. The Speaker got over 1,000 bills passed in the House, the Senate under Leader Thune FAILED to pass 700 of them. They refused to take up major conservative priorities, including codifying 100+ of Trump’s executive orders, and the SAVE America Act, which was passed by House Republicans four separate times. It hasn’t even been taken up in the Senate. The House delivered. The Senate failed to follow through. Facts, @jhogangidley.

I did not participate in today’s Senate leadership election because a defeat of this magnitude demands serious reflection and change. Holding a rushed election ignores the message our voters sent. We must acknowledge where and why we failed and develop strategies to succeed. I hope our conference can unite, learn from this moment, and do a better job listening to the American people and addressing their concerns.
