How is it possible that a former president who tried to overturn an election, incited an attack on the Capitol, stole classified documents & found guilty for both sexual assault & fraud was allowed to run for office?
This is truly abhorrent. Pete Hegseth doesn't know how to conduct himself, even at The Tomb of the Unknown Soldier at Arlington National Cemetery.
His behavior is unbecoming of any visitor to the Tomb, let alone that which comes from a Secretary of Defense.
A Tomb Guard from the U.S. Army’s 3rd Infantry Regiment, “The Old Guard” was forced to verbally reprimand Secretary of Defense Pete Hegseth and a group of his senior advisers Wednesday after some in the group laughed and loudly talked in front of the Tomb of the Unknown Soldier at Arlington.
Video of the incident, posted by CNN, shows Hegseth standing and taking photos in front of the tomb with his wife, Jennifer, chief of staff Ricky Buria, deputy chief of staff Patrick Weaver as well as senior adviser and deputy assistant Tami Radabaugh, following a ceremony at Arlington National Cemetery for Veterans Day.
NEW: The @nytimes confirms that ICE deliberately electronically "disappeared" tens of thousands of people in detention and ordered contractors to refuse to reveal where they're held to family or lawyers.
30% of all immigrants detained in ICE jails now have their location hidden.
For anyone who hasn't heard about this yet: ICE showed up at the front door of Dr. Ann Lawani in Lodi, California, while she was still in her pajamas, shackled her at the wrists, waist, and ankles, and shipped her all the way to a detention center in Louisiana.
She’s a frontline nurse who worked through the worst of COVID, directs the master's nursing program at the University of San Francisco (overseeing 230+ nursing students), and takes care of her 83-year-old dad.
When her family and lawyer tried to find out where she was taken, ICE’s online locator came back with "0 results." It turns out ICE quietly changed its policy the day before her arrest to stop listing thousands of detainees in the public database, so her family had no idea where she was for days while she was bounced from Stockton to Bakersfield to El Paso to Louisiana.
DHS put out a statement claiming she had a 2013 removal order, but they conveniently left out that on the *exact same day* in 2013, an immigration judge granted her Withholding of Removal blocking her deportation to Nigeria because she faced persecution there.
She has zero criminal record, has checked in with ICE for 13 years, and has a valid federal work permit through 2029. Because they legally can't send her to Nigeria, Rep. Josh Harder says ICE has been trying to quietly deport her to an undisclosed third country behind her lawyer's back.

🚨Here are 8 ERRONEOUS MAGA Points addressed about Jeffrey Epstein.
*Trump turned Epstein in to the authorities.
Trump Did NOT Turn Epstein in in 2006 or any other year. That LIE has been DEBUNKED.
Donald Trump called the Palm Beach Chief of Police MIDWAY through the investigation-not in the beginning.
Trump offered NO evidence of his Best Friend for OVER a decade.
ALL he told the police chief was that "EVERYONE KNEW" about Jeffrey Epstein's child sex-trafficking and that "Ghislaine was Evil" YET when later asked by reporters about Epstein's crimes, Donald Trump LIED and said, " I had no idea." just like he said he did Not know the former Prince Andrew but photographic evidence proves that was a LIE Too.
"I had no idea" is A COMPLETE CONTRADICTION to what he told the police chief.
*Why didn't Obama release info?
Epstein was NOT arrested during Obama's term so evidence and knowledge of all Epstein's crimes were Not widely known nor had the trove of evidence (Files) been gathered yet.
*Why didn't Biden release files?
Joe Biden and Democrats were BARRED by a federal judge from releasing any information or files due to the ONGOING investigation of Ghislaine Maxwell, her subsequent trial and her appeals.
Also after the Violent Insurrection of Donald Trump's thugs on Jan 6, Biden wanted to heal the country from the DIVISION caused by Donald Trump.
Biden was also well aware that if he released the information, MAGA would turn on him and say it was a political witch hunt.
*Well there are a lot of Democrats mentioned in the files. What about that?
There are a lot of people mentioned in Epstein Files here and there. Billionaires have large social circles but a small % are close friends.
However Donald Trump is mentioned 38,000 times in the Epstein Files., according to the NYT.
There is NO ONE-NOT Bill Clinton, NOT Bill Gates, NOT Steve Bannon, NOT Howard Lutnick and NOT even Elon Musk that is mentioned even close to that number but nice try at deflection.
*Donald Trump never went to Epstein's Island. It has never been proven if he had or had not but it is irrelevant because Epstein's home in Florida was a mere 3 minutes away from Mar-a-Lago. Epstein and Trump also had nearby homes in NYC and the victims have said they were shuffled about.
*Virginia Guthrie absolved Trump of wrongdoing. NO! She did NOT. She never named Trump or others besides the former Prince Andrew but there were others. Big Difference. Katie Johnson said that Trump's inner circle threatened her and her family's life multiple times. Trump could have done the same to Guthrie. Who knows?
Guthrie was silenced in 2025 so we will never know-Just like Jeffrey Epstein and his associates: Jean-Luc Brunel, Daniel Siad, Robert Maxwell (Ghislaine's father).
*No, the Trump administration did NOT release 30 million Epstein files.
The Transparency Act was supposed to RELEASE ALL the files WITHIN 30 day after the bill was signed.
The Actual Number released was around 3.5 million pages (total across releases), NOT 30 million and they were Heavily REDACTED.
The Transparency Act was supposed to RELEASE ALL the files WITHIN 30 day after the bill was signed. MILLIONS of Files ARE STILL NOT RELEASED and this was ONLY AFTER Trump Spent a Year
-saying the files never existed yet Clinton was in them
-figure that one out
- telling MAGAs to move on talking about the files
-threatening GOP politicians if they voted for the release of the files (MTG, Mace and Massie to name a few)
-THEN he tried (and STILL TRIES) over 36 DISTRACTIONS to focus attention away from the files.
*Donald Trump fired Bondi and replaced her with Todd Blanche to get the files out.
Trump was worried Bondi would follow the law and release ALL the Epstein files so he fired her.
DJT did replace Bondi with Todd Blanche who IMMEDIATELY said the DOJ was NOT going to release any more files which went AGAINST the Bill and much to the Relief of Trump.
Elon Musk and Tucker Carlson BOTH said @realDonaldTrump is the REASON the UNREDACTED FILES have not been released.
Trump is a DEVIANT.

A freezing goose knocked on her door with its beak covered in ice, she melted it off, fed it by the fire, and it learned to ring her doorbell, then came back with two friends...
would you let them all in?🦢🪿
🚨 CRACKS IN THE WALL.
Sen. Thune is now demanding the full release of the Epstein files.
He notes that in the UK, politicians and royals lost their positions over Epstein ties — while in the U.S., Trump officials like Howard Lutnick face zero consequences.
No more hiding. No more protection.
If your name is in those files, you answer for it. 🔥
Today, my team exposed a deeply disturbing story involving TPUSA.
We’ve reached out. We’ve asked for answers. We’ve given them every opportunity to respond.
Nothing. Silence.
They have a lot to say about everyone else. Funny how quiet they get when they’re the ones being held accountable.
Every Single Sponsor of Turning Point USA (@TPUSA ) must cut funding Immediately, or you will be called out for helping to enable what this poor girl has been put through while working for them.
This is NOT going away!
They should let AI figure out a different cooling system, besides solar or wind farms, nuclear, whatever. Or forget it until then. That makes them solve their own problems first. Instead of corporate greed and let taxpayers pay.
Looks as bad as trump's ballroom plan too.
"And most importantly, it's growing faster than grid capacities. And even more importantly, it's growing faster than renewable energy growth, which means that even as data center energy use grows, clean energy from wind, solar, nuclear, perhaps in is lagging behind."
