Pete Hegseth is removing or blocking the promotions of all military officers who he has determined would not participate in an illegal pro-Trump self-coup (auto-coup) in 2028.
You can believe me now or believe me in 2028.
Either way, stop seeing what Hegseth is doing as random.
WWII Veteran and Purple Heart recipient Robert Hilliard:
"Next week I'll be 101 years old. In February 1944 when I was 18 years old I was inducted into the army and what they taught me to do there was to kill people who set up detention camps. Can you imagine how I felt earlier this year when they announced that one of the future detention camps would be at that same camp landing in Florida? We have a fascist, a fascist government, that allows innocent people to be put in detention camps and incarcerated."

Imagine being forced to give someone 6.2% of your paycheck, every single check, every month, for 30 to 50 years of your life.
And that person said, "Don't worry, I'm holding this for you and will pay it back to you on a monthly basis, when you retire at 65."
And then they said, "Nah, just kidding. I meant when you retire at 67. And at that time, I'll only give you 70% of what you paid me."
And then they said, "Oops, I spent all your money. You're out of luck."
That's the U.S. government.
At 4PM the $SPY and $ES had one of the largest 1 minute sell offs we’ve seen all year.
BILLIONS of dollars dumped in seconds.
Later we learn the US performed another strike on Iran.
But it’s pretty clear the insiders knew at least an hour beforehand.
Trump: “We took the freedom of speech away.”
Trump admitted their goal was to end free speech by falsely labeling resistance to fascism as “domestic terrorism.” It has already resulted in the Prairieland protesters being sentenced to 450 years in prison.
This is what it sounds like when idiots gather, pound their religious breasts and sow stupidity. The words “separation of church and state” do not appear in the Constitution, but the words are a metaphor (you know what that is, right?) from an 1802 letter written by Thomas Jefferson (since relied on as precedent by our Supreme Court) in which he stated that the First Amendment built a "wall of separation between Church & State."
Jefferson should know what those words meant; so if it’s good enough for him…perhaps the idiocracy should sit down and pick up a book they haven’t burned or banned. #BringBackCivics
@PeaceMaple23@RyanRozbiani Or support genocide? Or shooting children? Or bombing hospitals and refugee tent camps? Or drive people from their homes and settle them? Or tear down their crops? Or cement up their wells? Or deprive them of food, water or medicine? Or rape prisoners? GTFOH!
Ohio Governor Mike DeWine issued the following statement on the Supreme Court of the United States' decision in Mullin v. Doe, regarding Temporary Protected Status (TPS):
"Today, the United States Supreme Court issued its ruling allowing Temporary Protected Status (TPS) to be canceled or expire.
"Today’s decision is a legal decision. As I have stated in the past, the policy to remove these individuals from this country is a mistake.
"As a result of today’s ruling, the over 10,000 Haitians who have been living in Ohio (mostly in the Springfield area) legally through TPS will now be here illegally and will be subject to immediate deportation. This also means that while these Haitians were working and contributing to our community and economy yesterday, today it is now illegal to employ them.
"The situation in Haiti could hardly be much worse. The violent gangs run most of the country. The government barely functions. And, the economy is in shambles.
"Further, our federal government has an advisory against traveling to Haiti, and our Federal Aviation Administration prohibits U.S. carriers from flying there because of the danger to planes of being shot at by the gangs.
"But, more importantly, changing the immigration status of these individuals is not in the best interest of the United States nor Ohio."
BREAKING: Trump's Reflecting Pool contractors — including a TRUMP DONOR — are now under congressional investigation for the $16 million algae disaster.
The contractors behind Trump's botched $16 million Reflecting Pool — now a swampy, peeling, bright-green embarrassment — are officially in HOT WATER with Congress. And surprise: one of them is a major Trump donor.
Sen. Jeff Merkley (D-OR) launched an investigation into the disastrous renovation, demanding answers from John Cafaro, CEO of Green Water Solutions, and Curtis Wood, CEO of Atlantic Industrial Coatings — the two firms that scored NO-BID contracts to wreck one of Washington's most iconic landmarks.
The numbers are infuriating. Atlantic Industrial Coatings landed a $14.7 million contract — MORE THAN DOUBLE the original $6.7 million estimate. Green Water Solutions got $1.7 million for a filtration system that apparently doesn't filter.
Merkley nailed the hypocrisy: "After railing about waste, fraud, and abuse, Donald Trump spent more than $16 million on a renovation of the Reflecting Pool that's now peeling and chock full of algae. This is a massive waste of working families' hard-earned tax dollars. I'm launching an investigation because taxpayers deserve swift answers — and a REFUND."
Now, here's where it gets really swampy. Rep. Robert Garcia pointed out that contractor John Cafaro has donated EXTENSIVELY to Trump's campaign and aligned groups — and his firm has only ever had one other federal contract, which was ALSO a no-bid award handed out under Trump.
A Trump donor. No competitive bidding. A multi-million-dollar contract. A pool that immediately turned green. You can connect the dots with your eyes closed..
Merkley is also demanding answers about one truly absurd detail: on May 7, Trump's motorcade — at least a DOZEN armored vehicles — drove directly onto the drained pool so Trump could "inspect" it. The senator wants to know if anyone approved heavy vehicles rolling over the freshly repaired expansion joints. (Spoiler: that might explain a lot.)
The Interior Department's defense? "The White House was not involved in the selection process... Full stop." They also provided ZERO evidence for Trump's wild claim that "vandals" with knives sabotaged the pool.
A botched job by a Trump donor handed a no-bid contract. A motorcade driving on freshly applied pool surfacing. And taxpayers footing the entire bill.
It’s clear that the swamp has a new color scheme — and it’s looking exactly like algae green.
Please like and share if you’re SICK of Trump’s entire corrupt administration!
The top 1% now hold as much wealth as the entire bottom 90% of Americans combined — about 32% each.
This is what runaway inequality looks like, according to the Fed's most recent data released this month.
