BREAKING: Renowned former U.S. Army Lieutenant General Russel L. Honoré sounds the alarm about the "national security risk" posed by MAGA billionaire Elon Musk — and he didn't hold back.

America can not afford to ignore this...

"Mr. Musk’s business ventures are heavily reliant on China. He borrowed at least $1.4 billion from banks controlled by the Chinese government to help build Tesla’s Shanghai gigafactory, which was responsible for more than half of Tesla’s global deliveries in the third quarter of 2024," the general writes in an Op-Ed for The New York Times.

"China does not tend to give things away," he adds. "The country’s laws stipulate that the Communist Party can demand intelligence from any company doing business in China, in exchange for participating in the country’s markets."

According to Honoré, this means that China could demand that Musk hand over sensitive materials due to his close proximity to the Trump administration, using his businesses as leverage.

"The last thing the United States needs is for China to potentially have an easier way of obtaining classified intelligence and national security information," writes the general"

"The question now is whether the incoming Trump administration will take this risk seriously," Honoré adds.

"The fact that Mr. Musk spent a quarter of a billion dollars to help re-elect Mr. Trump does not give the incoming White House the license to look the other way at the national security risks he may pose," he writes.

"If Mr. Trump and his appointees mean what they say about getting tough on America’s adversaries, then they will act on this matter without delay. There is too much at stake to ignore what’s right in front of them," concludes Honoré.

He is absolutely right. Musk's dream of being a corrupt oligarch who rules over America cannot be allowed to endanger us all. He must be investigated immediately.

We can't hire Americans because they aren't educated enough, so let's obliterate the Dept of Education, keep college student loan debt astronomical so higher ed is out of reach for normies, make teachers use their own money to pay for classroom supplies, and get rid of Wikipedia.

So basically the Trump Admin’s immigration policy is to increase the number of people from other countries who come in and take high-skilled, high paying American jobs, while deporting everyone else doing physically grueling jobs for shit wages?

It's pretty simple. If Trump doesn't divest from his businesses before he takes office, he'll violate the Emoluments Clauses of the Constitution.

BREAKING - NY AG's office REJECTS Trump request to dismiss the $454 million civil fraud case.

NY AG correctly says presidents have ZERO immunity from civil cases based on non-official conduct (in this case, business fraud).

This is the one Trump case that is DEFINITELY alive.

The barbaric state has fallen. At last.

I pay tribute to the Syrian people, to their courage, to their patience. In this moment of uncertainty, I send them my wishes for peace, freedom, and unity.

France will remain committed to the security of all in the Middle East.

Syrian rebel leader Abu Mohammed Al Jolani, who led an Al Qaeda offshoot, switched his jihadi attire for fatigues, partly to rebrand his HTS as an Islamist group with pragmatic Syrian nationalist focus. He insists he will be tolerant of minorities. Much remains to be seen.
