🚨 HUGE: The War Department just designated China's Confucius Institutes a THREAT to our national security.
These were Chinese government-backed programs planted on American college campuses for YEARS.
Many schools shut them down, then let them come back under NEW names.
Back in August, the War Department ordered 30 universities to audit their ties to these rebranded programs and other foreign entities of concern.
Those audits led to more than 80 actions to cut those ties.
Now Hegseth has made it official.
The CCP doesn't get a foothold on American campuses anymore.
ABOUT TIME!
SOMETHING SMELLS IN MAIN
NGOs dropping elderly Somalis off at a Lewiston, Maine town hall where a translator helps them vote.
A video shows a group escorted in as a translator assists them, while an NGO coordinator confronts press.
Cynics around the world love to call young Americans selfish and spoiled.
Those cynics were not on board the U.S. aircraft carrier Ronald Reagan off the freezing coast of northern Japan in March 2011.
After the tsunami wiped away entire towns, nineteen-year-old American sailors watched the news in the ship mess hall and saw Japanese children and grandmothers shivering in the snow with no heat.
Official government relief crates were still days away. So those young Americans walked down to their own sleeping racks and opened their personal lockers.
Nobody ordered them to do it.
A sailor on a warship has almost no personal space. Everything he owns in the world fits inside one narrow metal locker under his bunk.
In just three hours, the young men and women of the Ronald Reagan stripped their own beds and sea bags. They handed over more than 100 of their own blankets, 311 personal jackets and hoodies, 748 pairs of warm socks, 57 pairs of their own shoes, and 34 pairs of winter gloves.
Then the crew of Helicopter Anti-Submarine Squadron Four looked inside the bags and found something that made the pilots go quiet.
Tucked between the heavy navy sweaters were more than twenty stuffed animals and teddy bears. Young sailors who had brought a small piece of home across the Pacific gave away their own keepsakes so a crying child in Aomori who had lost everything would have something soft to hold in the dark.
When Japanese Defense Minister Toshimi Kitazawa stood on that flight deck and bowed to the crew, his voice trembled. "I have never been more proud of the fact that the United States is our ally," he said.
An ally signs a piece of paper in Washington. A brother takes the warm coat off his own back in a snowstorm and hands it to your child.
🚨 HOLY SMOKES. HHS is now launching a wide-scale AUDIT of all 50 states' taxpayer AUTISM programs due to rampant fraud
North Carolina data just dropped: +11,000% PERCENT SURGE IN AUTISM BILLING 🤯
It was NOT just Minnesota!
PRESIDENT TRUMP ON FRAUD: "You haven't seen anything yet."
This is being called a "GOLD RUSH" of fraud, hundreds of millions and even BILLIONS are being found.
More data confirmed autism spending is surging in every other state with public data.
John Thune has been awfully quiet.
It's almost like he'd rather see Republicans lose the Senate so he can go back to being Minority Leader.
Hey, @LeaderJohnThune, we haven't forgotten about you. Once the midterms are behind us, our attention turns to you.
And when you're up for reelection in 2028, defeating you in the Republican primary will be priority number one, right alongside electing our next president.
Your betrayal will NEVER be forgotten.
Read the numbers slowly… 140 Democrats and 71 Republicans working the polling places in Lansing, Michigan during the August primary, 28 to 16 at early voting, 15 to 11 on the board that handles the absentee envelopes, and Michigan law says those inspectors are supposed to come from both major parties in numbers as equal as possible. As equal as possible. Nearly two to one is not anybody's idea of possible, it is a choice.
So the RNC, the Michigan GOP and the Ingham County GOP had to sue the city of Lansing, its Election Commission and City Clerk Chris Swope just to get Republicans who had already raised their hands a fair shot at the job. And what did the city say? "Elections in Lansing have always been safe and fair, and voters can remain confident." Of course they did… that is what they always say, while the Republicans who filed the suit say they could not even get a look at the inspector applications.
Now the city has backed down. On October 19 they signed an agreement promising to actually email the Republican nominees, actually call them, actually give them a training date, and actually recommend them for appointment if they pass. Think about that for a second. It took a lawsuit to get a city clerk to send an email and pick up the phone. How is that something we should have to fight for in the first place?
Here is the reality. Nobody staffs a room two to one by accident, and nobody fights over who gets to see the applications if the process is clean. The people who run the counting decide who gets to watch the counting, and then they act offended when you ask a question. I have watched this game for years, and the cheating does not start on election night, it starts with who gets hired months before anyone casts a ballot.
So to every Republican in Ingham County who got passed over… apply again, show up to training, get in the room and stay in the room until the last envelope is counted. And to Chris Swope, the whole state is watching your polling places now. Balance them like the law says. End stop.
Insurance Adjuster: "Your claim for the $3,200 collision repair has been approved."
You: "Great. My deductible is $500, so I'll get a check for $2,700?"
Insurance Adjuster: "No, your policy includes a mandatory OEM parts exclusion, so we're only paying for aftermarket salvaged parts valued at $1,800."
You: "Wait. I've paid $180 every single month for four years…. 8,640 total, just to have full coverage?"
Insurance Adjuster: "Correct."
You: "So I paid $8,640 in premiums, have a $500 deductible, and I still have to pay $1,400 out-of-pocket because you refuse to cover factory-certified parts?"
Insurance Adjuster: "That's standard under your policy's depreciation schedule."
You aren't paying for car insurance anymore.
You're paying a monthly protection tax to a corporation that finds a contractual loophole to pass the bill back to you the second you actually need to use it.
TREASON 🚨

Thune must be removed
Raise your hand ✋️ if you want 5 Senators to start the process of removing John Thune
If you want to understand what it means to be an American citizen, look at what happened in the Indian Ocean on Easter Sunday, April 12, 2009.
One merchant captain from Vermont named Richard Phillips was being held hostage inside a covered orange lifeboat by Somali pirates armed with AK-47s.
He was not a general. He was not a politician. He was one cargo ship captain who had offered himself as a hostage to save his crew.
To bring that one man home, the United States sent the guided-missile destroyer USS Bainbridge, the frigate USS Halyburton, the amphibious assault ship USS Boxer, and a team of U.S. Navy SEALs who parachuted straight into the black ocean at night.
For four days, the lifeboat pitched violently in rough seas twenty-five yards behind the destroyer.
Then at dusk on Sunday, a pirate pressed the barrel of his AK-47 directly against Captain Phillips' back and prepared to kill him.
On the fantail of the USS Bainbridge, three Navy SEAL snipers lay braced in the dark. The destroyer was rolling in one direction. The tiny lifeboat was pitching in another. If even one sniper missed by half an inch, or fired a tenth of a second late, the hostage would die.
Through night-vision scopes, all three snipers waited for the exact millisecond when three targets appeared in the tiny windows at once.
One word came over the headset.
Three rifles fired as a single sound.
All three kidnappers dropped instantly. Captain Phillips walked onto the deck of the USS Bainbridge without a scratch.
Do not touch a citizen of a country that will drop Navy SEALs from the sky at midnight for one man.
The Republicans moved heaven and earth in record time to expel and remove fellow Republican George Santos from the House before he was even found guilty of crimes!
Now they won't do jack shit to remove and expel Ilhan "Omar", ie, Ilhan Nur Said Elmi!
Why the hell not?
