Trump is not a god.  But he's better than the president we have now.

Sen. Roger Wicker Calls for a Briefing from the Pentagon After It Hid Austin’s Hospitalization:

The top Republican on the Senate Armed Services Committee, Sen. Roger Wicker, slammed the Pentagon for its “shocking defiance of the law” after it failed to disclose Defense Secretary Lloyd Austin’s hospitalization to the president, the National Security Council, and Congress for several days, and called for a briefing from the administration “immediately.”

“I am glad to hear Secretary Austin is in improved condition and I wish him a speedy recovery. However, the fact remains that the Department of Defense deliberately withheld the Secretary of Defense’s medical condition for days. That is unacceptable. We are learning more every hour about the Department’s shocking defiance of the law,” Wicker said in a statement on Saturday.

“When one of the country’s two National Command Authorities is unable to perform their duties, military families, Members of Congress, and the American public deserve to know the full extent of the circumstances,” he added. “Members must be briefed on a full accounting of the facts immediately.”

Austin was admitted to the hospital on January 1, following complications after an “elective medical procedure,” but reportedly did not tell National Security Adviser Jake Sullivan until Thursday, January 4. Sullivan then reportedly told President Joe Biden.

The Pentagon then released a statement to the press on Friday evening, January 5, disclosing that Austin was admitted to the hospital. The initial statement did not say what the elective procedure was, what the complications were, or acknowledge that Austin was still in the hospital as of that day.

While the statement also said that Deputy Defense Secretary Kathleen Hicks was ready to assume any of Austin’s duties, but did not disclose that she had assumed some of his duties already, and that she was on vacation in Puerto Rico during Austin’s hospitalization.

Wicker said the failure to disclose Austin’s hospitalization “further erodes trust” in the Biden administration.

Biden’s National Park Service to Remove William Penn Statue from Philadelphia:

The National Park Service, under President Joe Biden, has announced that it intends to remove the statue of William Penn from Welcome Park in Philadelphia — the historic home of the founder of Pennsylvania, and an important early colonial figure.

Penn is a uniquely respected figure in American history. A Quaker, he treated the Native Americans of the area with respect and deference. However, he also owned slaves, which has led to the removal of his name from some historic sites.

In His First Campaign Speech – Joe Biden Lies and Says He Went to Funerals of Imaginary Police Officers Who Were Killed on Jan. 6 – A Complete Lie!

Four Americans died at the US Capitol on January 6th.  They were all Trump supporters.  They have NEVER been recognized by the mainstream media.  At least three of these Trump supporters were killed by the police.

On Friday, Joe Biden delivered his FIRST campaign speech in the 2024 cycle.  Joe Biden lied and said he went to the funerals of the police officers who were killed due to January 6th at the US Capitol.

NO police officers were killed that day. Not one.  No police officers died that day. Officer Brian Sicknick died the next day from a stroke.

Did any media outlet correct Joe Biden? Any? Are there ANY mainstream media reporters who are honest anymore? Anyone?

Chris Christie ends his Republican presidential bid, criticizing his rivals on his way out:

Former New Jersey Gov. Chris Christie on Wednesday suspended his Republican presidential bid just days before Iowa’s leadoff caucuses, ceding to growing pressure to drop out of the race from those desperate to deny Donald Trump a glide path to the nomination.

Addressing supporters at a New Hampshire town hall, Christie said he had come to the conclusion that he had no pathway to victory.

“Campaigns are run to win. That’s why we do them,” he said. “It’s clear to me tonight that there isn’t a path for me to win the nomination.”

Elon Musk Calls for Greater Election Security and Voter ID: ‘This is Insane’:

Billionaire and Twitter/X owner, Elon Musk, is calling for greater election security and the requirement of voter ID, things that conservatives have been demanding for years now.

The consensus among people on the right is that relaxed voting laws, ballot harvesting and mail-in ballots were largely the reason why Biden was able to ‘win’ the 2020 election.

Musk is not necessarily a conservative, he just embraces common sense, but this is one of the reasons why the left has turned on him.

X CEO Elon Musk is taking a public stand for stricter U.S. voting laws, calling for mandatory in-person voting requiring identification across all 50 states in multiple comments on his social media site.

The tech mogul has recently made multiple posts on the matter, writing on Monday that it is “insane” to be able to vote without providing official identification.

“In the USA, you don’t need [a] government-issued ID to vote, and you can mail in your ballot,” he wrote. “This is insane.”

One person tried to claim that requiring voter ID is racist, a stupid argument that the left has made repeatedly.

Other countries that are less developed than the United States manage to conduct their elections in one day and announce the results immediately.

There is no reason why America can’t do the same.

Like him or not, you have to say it's a perfectly reasonable demand by Musk. In my country you have to vote in person with legitimate proof of ID.

Elon is from my home town and I know some guys who were at school with him. Apparently he was a loner and didn't make many friends. The word 'weirdo' crops up in conversations about him, although boys tend to say that about anyone who doesn't fit their idea of normal.

Nonetheless, he still sends donations to the school (not that Pretoria Boy's High really needs the money), and he takes good care of his dad, who still lives here.

Illinois Citizens Group Files Formal Complaint with Illinois State Board of Elections – Lost Votes, Ghost Votes, OVER 4 MILLION Possible Registration Violations: Voter Shocked to See Ballots Have Been Cast in Her Name for Years:

A couple from Illinois, Jodie and Ken Zitko, have formed a group of concerned citizens who have been analyzing the Illinois state voter database. They have found serious irregularities detailed in a formal complaint filed with Bernadette Matthews, Director of the Illinois State Board of Elections on December 21st.

Here are some of their findings after almost 2,000 hours of analysis…

  • There were over 300,000 votes from the 2020 election missing or deleted from the Illinois voter data prior to the conclusion of the Federal retention period of 22 months.
  • Over a four-year period, Illinois’ population decreased by 150,000, while the voter roll increased by 650,000.
  • Over 2.5 million people had votes cast prior to their registration dates.
  • More than 230,000 registrations show seemingly Illegal or illogical registration dates.
  • There are more than 4 million apparent registration violations out of 8.9 million registrations.

This couple is not your ordinary pair of election sleuths. Ken has been an MSSQL Data Analyst, DBA and Architect for 28 years, working with Fortune 500 companies, and Jodie has been working with ‘People Data’ and Analytics since the mid 90’s in large enterprise environments. She’s a “Subject Matter Expert” in Integrated Workplace Management Systems.

They uncovered over 57% irregularities, including:

  • votes cast when the voter did not vote
  • votes missing when they did vote
  • voters registered and voting at addresses where they did not live
  • registrations with illogical registration dates

Most shocking of all, 11% of the voters they interviewed with had votes cast in their name for elections they did not participate in.

Jodie explained how voters reacted to seeing obvious errors in their personal voting data. “It was a fairly emotionally draining experience. As reality set in, a number of people visibly trembled, a few shed a tear or two. I recall one particular individual young man in his early 30’s. When we asked if he wanted his history report he insisted he didn’t need to see it because knew his history. After watching several others receive their reports with shocking results he finally asked to see his. In his case he had a missing vote from 2020, he was so enraged he turned beet red, stood there for about 30 minutes, repeatedly shaking his head in disbelief. I think he said an explicative or two.”

Since then, Hornik has formed a national group, United Sovereign Americans, and is working with more than 25 other states on election validity.  They also plan to file a Federal Lawsuit. The Illinois Chapter of United Sovereign Americans is looking for volunteers in every county of the state who want to get involved in fixing our elections.

Pro-Palestinian Protesters Swarm White House Fence, Secret Service Deployed:

Pro-Palestinian protesters swarmed the White House fence on Saturday, forcing the Secret Service and D.C. Police to get involved.

The protesters were seen shaking the fence as they yelled, “F*** Joe Biden.” Secret Service agents dressed in riot gear were seen behind the fence.  At one point, the protesters shook the fence so hard that they forced it back.  In another instance, protesters climbed the Rochambeau Statue in Lafayette Square to wave Palestinian flags.

According to The Guardian, thousands of protesters swarmed Washington DC on Saturday “to call for a permanent ceasefire in Gaza and to protest US aid to Israel.”

“The protest, called a march on Washington for Gaza, was promoted as likely to be the largest pro-Palestinian demonstration in the US since the 7 October attack on southern Israel by Hamas fighters emerging from Gaza, which killed almost 1,200 people and led to a massive military response from Israel, backed by the US government,” noted the outlet.

President Trump spoke in Indianola, Iowa on Sunday, ahead of the Iowa Republican caucus which is on January 15th.  A lively crowd showed up to support President Trump even though the weather was extremely cold.

President Trump talked about the border and his commitment to deport illegals.  “As soon as I take the oath of office, I will terminate every open border policy of the Biden administration and begin the largest deportation operation in American History,” Trump said.

“On day one I will sign a new executive order to cut federal funding for any school pushing critical race theory, transgender insanity and other inappropriate racial, sexual or political content on our children. And I will not give one penny to any school that has a vaccine mandate or a mask mandate.” Trump said.
