Exclusive: Chairman Wicker, Republicans Demand Accountability After IG Report Reveals Lloyd Austin Went AWOL Twice:

Senate Armed Services Committee Chairman Roger Wicker (R-MS) and 11 Republican senators are demanding President Joe Biden hold Defense Secretary Lloyd Austin accountable, after a Department of Defense inspector general report released this week found he failed to follow the law when he hid multiple hospitalizations from the White House, breaking the chain of command and jeopardizing the safety of the nation.

The IG report found Austin violated the Federal Vacancies Reform Act (FVRA) twice in December 2023 and January 2024, but also on two additional occasions unknown to the American public in June 2024.

In a letter to Biden sent Thursday, Wicker and the senators wrote:

For days in December, January, and June, no one in Congress or in your administration knew that Secretary Austin was unable to perform the functions and duties of the Secretary, or that Deputy Secretary Hicks was the acting Secretary…

At the time of these absences, your administration was still reeling from a Chinese intelligence and reconnaissance balloon sailing across the United States, Putin continued his violent and illegal war on Ukraine all the while rattling the nuclear saber, and violent Islamic terrorists and other Iran-backed extremists were ramping up for an historic assault on Israel, emboldened by your disastrous abandonment of Afghanistan.

The world was far from stable, and America was not safe. What makes this situation so much worse, however, is that the moment Secretary Austin’s office became vacant, no one had control of the nuclear football and the entire American nuclear enterprise was left idling.

The DOD IG report was released to the public with just days left in the Biden administration and no seeming accountability for Austin is imminent.

However, the senators urged that he “must be held accountable for betraying his office, betraying the trust of the American people, violating the FVRA multiple times, and fumbling the nuclear football.”

“There must be accountability for Secretary Austin’s irresponsible behavior, your administration’s multiple violations of the FVRA, and the mishandling of the nuclear football. Certainly, if a uniformed officer had done only one of these things he or she would be facing the end of their career. Sadly, those in charge seem to believe that the same standards do not apply to them.  The American people will no longer accept a lack of accountability for the failures of our senior military leaders, whether civilian or uniformed,” the senators wrote.”

Joe Biden Falsely Declares States Ratified Equal Rights Amendment (ERA) to Constitution:

WASHINGTON, DC – President Joe Biden on Friday made the bizarre proclamation that the proposed Equal Rights Amendment (ERA) to the U.S. Constitution was ratified by 38 states to become part of the U.S. Constitution, an announcement that is legally dead wrong and a disgraceful disservice to the country and the rule of law.

The Constitution requires that any amendment must be proposed by both two-thirds of the House (290) and two-thirds of the Senate (67). After that, a majority (over 50 percent) in the legislatures of three-fourths of the states (38) must vote to ratify the proposed amendment to make it part of the Constitution. All this has happened only 27 times in American history, starting with the Bill of Rights in 1791.

Congress proposed the ERA in 1972 as a top priority of the Far Left. It says, “Equality of rights under the law shall not be denied or abridged by the United States or by any State on account of sex.”

While officially it would ensure that men and women have equal rights, legal scholars and top elected Republicans explain in great detail how it would instead abolish all sorts of vital legal distinctions and protections. These would range from blocking even the most modest restrictions on abortion through the moment of birth, to allowing men in women’s sports and locker rooms, to making it potentially illegal to have a Father’s Day and Mother’s Day on the calendar as holidays.

Nonetheless, on January 17, 2025, Biden declared the ERA had been ratified as part of the Constitution. Without even officially overruling OLC’s opinion or directing his OLC to issue a new opinion, the defeated outgoing president simply announced that the Supreme Law of the Land had changed.

“This is an assault on democracy and the rule of law,” Ambassador Ken Blackwell, senior fellow for human rights and constitutional governance at the Family Research Council, told Breitbart News in an exclusive reaction. “Biden’s hypocrisy knows no bounds, and now he is rejecting election results, the votes of lawmakers, and the constitutional decisions of the Supreme Court, in making this lawless declaration as he is shoved out the door by the American people after his failed presidency.”

Biden’s false declaration marks a low point in his presidency and a sour note on which to end his four years in the White House. It is a disgraceful disservice to the nation, violating Biden’s constitutional duty to take care to faithfully execute the law.  It also likely means people should brace for whatever else Biden will try over the next three days, until Trump takes the oath of office and reclaims the power of the presidency.

@patrician What a despicable creature.  "You are of your father the devil, and your will is to do your father’s desires. He was a murderer from the beginning, and does not stand in the truth, because there is no truth in him. When he lies, he speaks out of his own character, for he is a liar and the father of lies."  (John 8:44, ESV)

Pastor Who Precisely Predicted Trump Getting Shot in the Ear Three Months Before It Happened – Warns of Orchestrated Attacks on Trump’s Inauguration and Iconic Properties in Detail:

Pastor Brandon Biggs, who gained nationwide attention after accurately predicting the assassination attempt on Donald Trump months before it occurred, has sounded the alarm once again.

This time, the stakes are even higher, as he claims to have received visions of a sprawling, orchestrated attack targeting Trump, his properties, and key U.S. landmarks.

Biggs first gained attention when his detailed vision of an attempt on Trump’s life came true, as previously reported by The Gateway Pundit.

Biggs, at the 11-minute mark of the video, posted three months before Trump’s assassination attempt in Butler, Pennsylvania, said, ” I saw Trump rising up, and then I saw an attempt on his life. This bullet flew by his ear and it came so close to his head it busted his eardrum.”
Now, Biggs has issued an even graver warning: a series of coordinated, catastrophic events planned to coincide with Trump’s inauguration and targeting his iconic properties.

According to the video posted on YouTube by Biggs, these attacks are not isolated acts of terrorism but are instead state-sponsored efforts designed to dismantle symbols of Trump’s influence and leadership.

The pastor described seeing “massive dump trucks” armed with armor plating and packed with fertilizer-based explosives, echoing the devastating Oklahoma City bombing of the 1990s.

The attacks, Biggs warns, aim to cripple Trump’s iconic properties, such as Trump Tower and golf courses, and disrupt national symbols of power, including the Capitol.

He alleges that a network of operatives spread across ten major U.S. cities, with each city hosting 100 attackers—trained and funded by foreign governments, possibly Iran—has infiltrated the United States through underground tunnels along the southern border.

Biggs:
The vision was putting all out in front of me. I saw farming equipment. I saw massive farming equipment that was… It looked like on the East Coast, this farming equipment was. There were silos. The Lord said, I want you to focus on fertilizer.

...I saw fertilizer in a big dump truck. The dump truck was like a big diesel. They looked like construction workers. They had purchased a massive construction vehicle, like dump truck thing.

They put all this in so that it would cause a major catastrophic event. They made the front of it armor proof, bulletproof. You could not shoot it and to make it stop it. Very, very strong armor was on the front of this truck underneath it. It wasn’t able to be seen really well. I saw these men, and this is going to go a lot of different places, so you have to just listen to what I’m trying to tell you all. I saw these men with these vest on in the front cab of the truck.

Vest on. They had explosives on these vests. There was two men in the truck. They took the truck and they used it to go through police barricade and military barricades in Washington, DC. When they did this and they tried to stop them because they were trying to do it at a checkpoint to stop them, they pushed through the barricade because the truck was very strong.

Then they got them, they surrounded them, and they ignited their vest, and they took out everybody. When this happened, it was a massive crater in the dirt, in the ground, and all the buildings were completely wiped out, and they tried to get as close as they could to the capital. I saw them trying to get as close as they could to the capital, to major landmarks of Washington, DC.”

The internet can’t help but connect Pastor Biggs’ vision with a recent alarming development: about 60,000 pounds of ammonium nitrate—a chemical used both as fertilizer and as an explosive—is missing after disappearing during a rail trip from Wyoming to California.

"The Lord said, This is not terrorism per se. This is an act of war per se," said Biggs.

"This is a government of another country coming against America, making it look like it's terrorist. You will see in the days ahead a great shaking still to come because of past administrations not doing their job, securing the border. Not just on the Southern, but this is about the Northern border also. I warn you to pray so that we can pray, not a call to fear, but a call to prayer. I saw great plans and great plots from these men to try to disrupt the inauguration."

While the message is alarming, Pastor Biggs insists it is not meant to incite fear but to galvanize Americans into prayer and vigilance.

"We pray against this for what I've seen coming. That's our job. I pray protection over your families. I pray protection over our President, over the capital of America. We pray for the White House. We pray for all kinds of things because this was very dark what they were trying to do."

Vivek Ramaswamy Expected to Step Down from Trump’s Government Efficiency Task Force DOGE Co-Led by Elon Musk: ‘Vivek Has Worn Out His Welcome’:

Vivek Ramaswamy, the biotech entrepreneur appointed by President-elect Donald Trump to co-lead the Department of Government Efficiency (DOGE) alongside Elon Musk, is anticipated to step down from his role in the task force.

In November, President Trump announced that Elon Musk and Vivek Ramaswamy would head the Department of Government Efficiency.

According to Politico, his departure comes amid discussions about Ramaswamy potentially filling the U.S. Senate seat vacated by Vice President-elect JD Vance.

However, multiple sources have confirmed to CBS News that friction within DOGE may have expedited Ramaswamy’s departure.

Sources familiar with the internal workings of the task force claim that Musk’s inner circle has grown increasingly frustrated with Ramaswamy’s alleged lack of hands-on involvement.

Texas Border Crossing Shut Down as Trump Sworn In, CBP One App Closed:

WASHINGTON, DC: U.S. Customs and Border Protection officers in riot gear shut down the international bridge to Mexico moments before President Donald Trump took the oath of office. During his inaugural address, the president said he would declare a state of emergency along the U.S.-Mexico border and ordered the end of the Biden-era CBP One immigration app.

CBP officers shut down the port of entry into downtown El Paso on Monday afternoon. The move came as President Trump said he would declare a national emergency, ordered the reinstatement of his prior administration’s “Remain in Mexico” policy and the end of Biden’s “catch and release” policies, KFOX 14 posted on X.

“I will declare a national emergency at our southern border,” the newly sworn president stated. “All illegal entry will immediately be halted, and we will begin the process of returning millions and millions of criminal aliens back to the places from which they came.”

Donald Trump to End ‘Birthright Citizenship’ via Executive Order:

President Donald Trump will issue an Executive Order ending the awarding of birthright citizenship to the children of illegal migrants, administration officials said.

The citizenship order will face years of legal fights before it is reviewed by the U.S. Supreme Court. The rule would not apply to children born before the rule is confirmed.

If upheld, the change would sharply reduce the government-created incentives for migrants to sneak into Americans’ society and it would help Americans build their own families.

The Center for Immigration Studies estimates that in 2024 migrants gave birth to almost 400,000 “anchor babies”  — the term used to describe the U.S.-born children of illegal aliens and other foreign nationals.

Trump Promises Release of JFK, RFK, MLK Assassination Records ‘in the Coming Days’:

President Donald Trump vowed during his pre-inauguration speech on Sunday night to release records “in the coming days” related to the assassinations of former President John F. Kennedy, Robert F. Kennedy, and Martin Luther King Jr.

Trump also promised to release records related to “other topics of great public interest,” during the event at Washington, DC’s Capital One Arena.

During his campaign, Trump pledged to create a commission on presidential assassination attempts, as a tribute to RFK Jr. 

Both Kennedy’s father and uncle were assassinated. Kennedy’s father, Robert F. Kennedy, was shot on June 5, 1968, after winning the Democrat primary in California and died the next day. Kennedy’s uncle, former President John F. Kennedy, was assassinated on November 22, 1963. Robert F. Kennedy Jr. has been very vocal in his belief that the CIA was involved in the killing of his uncle, although the agency denies the accusations.

“He lost his father and uncle in service to our country, and Bobby himself was subject to repeated threats to his safety during the course of his campaign, while being denied protection by the Harris-Biden administration,” Trump said.  The Biden administration notably only ordered Secret Service protection for RFK Jr. after the Trump assassination attempt and after Trump demanded protection for him.

BREAKING: Joe Biden Pardons MULTIPLE Family Members in Shocking Abuse of Power:

Joe Biden has used his presidential pardon power to grant clemency to multiple family members on his last day, raising serious questions about corruption, nepotism, and abuse of power at the highest levels of government.

On the same day, Joe Biden pardoned Tony Fauci, General Mark Milley, and the entire J6 Select Committee of liars in his final act as president.

The Supreme Court has ruled that accepting a pardon implies an acknowledgment of guilt.

HISTORIC! Trump Team Sets Up Desk — Will Sign Executive Orders at Capital One Rally Today in Front of 20,000 Screaming Supporters!

Donald Trump is poised to sign over 200 executive actions immediately upon taking office today, according to Fox News.

And it appears he may sign many of these orders in the Capital One Arena today!

Trump’s unprecedented initiative aims to dismantle the remnants of the Biden regime’s failed policies and restore America’s foundational principles.

At the forefront of these actions is a declaration of a national border emergency, effectively sealing the southern U.S. border. This decisive measure addresses the escalating crisis of illegal immigration and the associated threats to national security.

President Trump is committed to reviving America’s energy sector. By halting offshore wind leases and terminating burdensome electric vehicle mandates, the administration will prioritize domestic energy production.

Withdrawing from the Paris Climate Accord underscores a focus on policies that benefit American workers and industries, free from international constraints that hinder economic growth, according to New York Post.

President Trump plans to suspend the security clearances of 51 intelligence officials who misled the public regarding the Hunter Biden laptop scandal. This action reinforces accountability among those entrusted with safeguarding our nation’s secrets.

Earlier today a desk was set up in the Capitol One Arena.

Trump will sign the executive orders in the arena today in front of 20,000 screaming supporters!

Trump reaffirms 'there are only two genders,' pledges to end DEI in federal government:

During his landmark inaugural speech, President Donald Trump vowed to put a stop to progressive social movements that Americans have long rejected.

For the last four years, many Americans have endured the onslaught of social policies spearheaded by the Biden administration, ranging from diversity, equity, and inclusion programs in the federal government to the insistence that there are multiple genders.

"This week, I will also end the government policy of trying to socially engineer race and gender into every aspect of public and private life," Trump said on Monday. "We will forge a society that is colorblind and merit-based."

"As of today, it will henceforth be the official policy of the United States government that there are only two genders, male and female," Trump added.

Trump also called out the COVID-era policies that barred Americans from service or employment based on whether they were vaccinated. Many Americans faced severe consequences if they didn't comply, but Trump promised to undo the damage done by the COVID policies.

"This week, I will reinstate any service members who were unjustly expelled from our military for objecting to the COVID vaccine mandate with full backpay," Trump said. "I will sign an order to stop our warriors from being subjected to radical political theories and social experiments while on duty. It's going to end."

Trump has committed to enforcing many of these policies through executive order. Just hours after his inauguration, Trump is set to sign at least 200 executive orders, many of which address the woke ideologies that have permeated our government and our society.
