President Donald Trump went to bat for Nvidia CEO Jensen Huang Monday, despite the latter’s affair with an alleged Chinese spy. When asked about the allegations during a White House press briefing, Trump said that he will not bring up the case with President Xi Jinping when the two meet next week. He added, “I just know Jensen very well. I think he is a very honorable man. He built a great company. American company. I think he’s a very honorable guy. I feel very confident that he will be in good shape.” Trump was later asked to put a...

Jewels Jones ®@JewelsJonesLive·3hPete Hegseth handed America's war colleges 33 DIRECTIVES this morning. By Wednesday the House has to take a floor vote on impeaching him.He announced them to the students of the Naval War College in Newport, Rhode Island. On the war colleges' own mission statements: "The word 'win' is entirely absent. The word 'defeat' does not appear."So the 80-page thesis is out. Competitive war games and exams are in. New civilian faculty get three-year contracts, not lifetime tenure. Colonels fresh off an operational command get a Warfighter Chair at every senior college. The war games and the chairs are...

2 minute video at the linkWall Street Apes@WallStreetApes·16hAmerican converted to Islam and then realized the real plan was to bring down America from within“When I converted to Islam, I was treated really well by the Muslims. And this is the honest truth. They showed me nothing but love and respect up until like a month in. And that was the first time I heard people talking about Islam is going to enter every household in America. And there's a plan, a 100 year plan.So I started doing my own research. It got me to a book published in 1991 by...

ransomnote: For Free Repubilc's language rules, I've replaced a word with '[redacted]'.InfantryDort@infantrydort·52mNah man. I’m not gonna let this go unchecked. As a GWOT veteran I can’t.I listened to Massie drone through his articles of impeachment against Pete Hegseth and I recognized the sickness immediately.We fought under this ridiculous worldview during GWOT, and it cost us dearly.Massie is merely an acolyte of the bloodless bureaucratic religion that puts the lawyer in the center of the kill chain, treats every American use of force like a moral emergency, and somehow always finds more sympathy for the enemy being hunted than for the...

JoeLange@JoeLange·4hDo not FEAR certification.Certification is not the end of the story.Certification does not prevent overturning and does not guarantee the “new” Congress will ever be seated.The states begin the process of certification on Nov 10, with the last state certifying on Dec 18.Just a coincidence that Trump’s EO requires the DNI to report on foreign election interference by Dec 18?No coincidences.Trump purposely required the DNI report 45 days after the election to coincide with the final certification.That’s SIGNAL that the election certification isn’t the end of the story.Trump has planned for this moment and set the table in his first...

NOBUNAGA🇯🇵🏯@japan_nobunaga·3hIt looks like a scene that no Hollywood director would dare put in a movie because audiences would never believe it was real.Yet the official U.S. Navy photograph taken on the flight deck of the aircraft carrier USS Abraham Lincoln on July 6, 1991 proves every word of it.At fifteen thousand feet over the Indian Ocean, Navy Lieutenant Mark Baden was flying a Grumman KA-6D Intruder, with bombardier-navigator Lieutenant Keith Gallagher sitting beside him in the right seat.Without warning, a mechanical failure triggered the ejection seat under Gallagher while the glass cockpit canopy was still locked shut.The seat rocket blasted...

Gadi Eisenkot formally received the mandate on Sunday to form the next Israeli governing coalition, and vowed to pursue “creative and unconventional” pathways to assembling what he termed a “national emergency government.” Eisenkot’s nomination was expected, after 67 of the incoming Knesset’s 120 members asked President Isaac Herzog to give him the opportunity. Now, after a ceremony Sunday at the President’s Residence, the leader of the centrist Yashar party will have up to six weeks to form a government that, he has pledged, will unseat Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu and usher in a new era for the country. “Israel is...

President Donald Trump questioned the results of the midterm elections in a jaw-dropping social media post, less than a week after he, his preferred candidates, and GOP control of Congress were smacked down in a brutal rout. Taking to Truth Social on Monday morning, the president said: “Does anybody really believe that this ‘Election’ was honest. How could the Polls be so wrong??? Some early voting “dumps” were so large that it was impossible to win, no matter how many people went to vote.” He added: “It’s all about the machines, which are far more important than the voter!” The...

First came the public suggestion that the Kraków gunman was fascinated by far-right ideologies. Then came explanations about preliminary theories and the need for further verification. Remarks made by Polish Interior Minister Marcin Kierwiński just hours after the deadly attack in Kraków quickly made international headlines. Meanwhile, material circulating online has raised questions about the perpetrator’s actual political sympathies, with some reports pointing in a very different ideological direction. One fundamental question remains: what evidence prompted the minister to associate the attacker with the far right so early in the investigation? (snip) His remarks quickly spread through domestic and international...

At the time of writing the countries that are most likely to experience the outbreak of violent civil conflict first are Britain and France—both of which have already experienced what may be described as precursor or exemplary incidents of the kind discussed further below. The conditions are similar, however, throughout Western Europe as well as, for slightly different reasons, the United States;[ii] moreover, it must be assumed that if civil war breaks out in one place it is likely to spread elsewhere.[iii] (snip) In short, things are manifestly worsening right now. They are, however, going to get very much worse—I...

Minnesota Governor-elect Amy Klobuchar is wasting no time pushing for new restrictions on law-abiding gun owners, even as the U.S. Supreme Court prepares to decide whether bans on commonly owned semiautomatic rifles violate the Second Amendment.Just one day after winning the November 3 election, Klobuchar told reporters that legislation targeting firearms and magazines would be a top priority for her incoming administration.“The gun safety bill is going to get passed,” Klobuchar declared during her November 4 press conference.The timing is particularly significant. On December 2, the Supreme Court will hear oral arguments in Viramontes v. Cook County and Grant v....

Texas Republicans touched off a battle of mid-decade redistricting efforts when they embraced a plan pushed by President Donald Trump for the GOP-controlled legislature to redraw congressional districts to make them more friendly to Republicans. California retaliated with its own gerrymandering in an effort to flip five seats held by Republicans to counter the effort to redraw five seats in Texas. While Republicans redrew 15 congressional seats to try to flip over the past two years, as of Thursday afternoon they are projected to lose more than two-thirds of them. Meanwhile, California's Proposition 50 ballot initiative that redrew five seats...

The American flags lay discarded on the tables, not a Maga hat in sight.The crowd had dwindled to the last dregs of the party, with people nursing their warm martinis. On the screens above the bar, the unavoidable message blared: the blue wave sweeping across America.At the "Make America Hot Again" party in an uptown bar in midtown Manhattan on Tuesday night, young Republicans faced a reckoning with their own party."Maga is officially dead," said Raquel Debono, 30 matter-of-factly. "The brand is done."(snip)Matthew McCormick, 29, had turned his stool away from the TV screen. The Republican strongholds of Texas and...

Tokyo on Saturday will mark one year since Prime Minister Sanae Takaichi’s remarks about the possibility of a Japanese military intervention in a Taiwan crisis triggered a diplomatic rupture with Beijing — a rift that shows few signs of closing as the two sides remain stubbornly at odds. The ongoing dispute between China and Japan began following Takaichi’s remarks in parliament on Nov. 7, 2025, that the Self-Defense Forces could be deployed under the right to collective self-defense in “worst-case” scenarios, such as a Chinese naval blockade of Taiwan, which the prime minister said could constitute a “survival-threatening situation” for...
