How the Pentagon Betrayed President Trump on January 6

 Jack Cashill - American Thinker 

. . ."January 6, of course, proved to be a Reichstag moment, but in precisely the opposite way Milley suggested. Democratic Party leadership responded to the riot much the way the Nazi leadership responded to the Reichstag fire, namely using an event of ambiguous origin as pretext to suppress speech and imprison its political opponents." . . . 

. . . "In a September 20, 2024 press release, Loudermilk added further proof of Trump’s request for support: “The transcripts released [from the DoD IG report] show Trump gave senior Pentagon leadership directives to keep January 6 peaceful -- including using the National Guard -- which the Pentagon leaders ignored.” The release then quotes Loudermilk directly as saying, “Pentagon leadership prioritized concerns of optics over their duty to protect lives.”

"To make his case, Loudermilk shared some direct quotes from Milley and others. When interviewed by the Department of Defense’s inspector general in 2021, Milley quoted Trump as saying, “Hey, look at this. There’s going to be a large amount of protesters here on the 6th, make sure that you have sufficient National Guard or Soldiers to make sure it’s a safe event.” Again according to Milley, Trump added, “Hey, I don’t care if you use Guard, or Soldiers, active duty Soldiers, do whatever you have to do. Just make sure it’s safe.”

"Acting U.S. Secretary of Defense Christopher Miller also heard Trump’s say “that they were going to need 10,000 troops.” As Miller admitted in May 2021 at a Democrat-led House hearing, he did not check with President Trump after the riot started because he did not need to." . . .

Who knew that too many people would create a problem?

 Silvio Canto, Jr. - American Thinker   "Once upon a time, immigrants came into the U.S. in an orderly fashion. I think that they call that "immigration," a policy enforced by every country to control the chaos and disorder that happens with open borders.

"Well, enter the Biden-Harris approach and now we have chaos. Who knew that chaos would happen? The chaos extends to homelessness.  Let's check this out from the New York Post: . . .

. . ."Imagine El Paso or Eagle Pass? Why do you think that Governor Greg Abbott started bussing? The reason was twofold. First, sending them to sanctuary cities. Second, he was relieving pressure in the border cities.

"Who saw these problems coming? You bring millions into your country without a plan and you get an unplanned outcome? Who knew that? Well, we know now."

Israel: The UN should be ashamed

"Why would the UN – a global organization supposedly dedicated to furthering and maintaining worldwide peace – knowingly protect savage barbarians, whose sole aim is to control every person, forcing them to be subservient to a demonic ideology that demands allegiance to murderous thugs? I’m at a loss to comprehend this kind of depravity."  The Jerusalem Post

Kamala, what’s your plan for Iran? The Times of Israel   . . ."Harris owes it to the American people to tell us what her plan — vis-à-vis Iran — will be. Harris has expressed her support for a two-state solution numerous times and has said she will use the leverage the United States has as Israel’s primary provider of weapons to influence Israeli military policy. That’s pretty specific. But Harris has remained mum or spewed generalities concerning Iran. Does she believe that a Palestinian state can happen while Iran continues to preach the destruction of Israel while training and arming the likes of Hezbollah, Hamas, and the Houthi? If so, let us know how, because the defanging of Iran and progress in peace negotiations between Israel and the Palestinians are intimately connected. Would Harris allow Iran to become a nuclear power? The Biden administration has said it would not, but not much more. We need to hear from Harris: How far would she go to prevent a nuclear Iran?" . . .

The UN protects Hamas because it hates the Jewish people - The Jerusalem Post   "It didn’t come as a huge shock to read that Hamas warehouses in Gaza are full of stolen humanitarian aid.

"Considering that these warehouses are stored to the brim not only with goods but also food and medicine, it is unbelievable that Francesca Albanese, the UN special rapporteur on human rights for the Palestinian territories, can keep a straight face when she laments that there are shortages in Gaza, squarely blaming Israel for it.

With a reported 200 trucks entering Gaza daily, these supplies are packed into the Hamas warehouses, causing them to run out of space. 

You would think that this would be the lead story for all news services. Or, at least, a much-needed update should be given by the UN, which seems to be out of the loop or is deliberately pushing another version for the sole purpose of fomenting more hatred toward Israel, by casting blame on it.

Israel will continue to strike Hezbollah, Netanyahu says - The Jerusalem Post (jpost.com)    . . ."Canadian Prime Minister Justin Trudeau on Tuesday called for a de-escalation, stating, ”We need to make sure that civilians are protected. The violence needs to stop.

“ 'We need to make sure there is de-escalation, both by Israel and Hezbollah. We need to protect civilian lives. We need to make sure we’re moving towards peace and stability in the entire region,” Trudeau added."

                                         Israel says "Never again!"

Sen. Coons goes off the rails and says people 'misremember’ how bad Trump’s economy was

 Jack Hellner - American Thinker  

"Biden and Harris ran on the policy to destroy industries that produce reasonably priced energy. As soon as Biden took office, he canceled the Keystone pipeline and blocked oil production on federal land." 

                 CNN

 "For years, Joe Biden, Kamala Harris, other Democrats (including many in the media) have intentionally lied to the public, insisting that they “inherited” a deep recession from President Trump and that their policies and high inflation were necessary to save America.

"The complicit media clearly has the capability to discern that this is a lie, but they facilitate in the dissemination of this misinformation because all they care about is destroying Trump and other Republicans, no matter how many lies they have to tell.

Here, Senator Coons is lying when he says people “misremember” how strong the economic recovery has been, via Breitbart:

Harris Co-Chair: People ‘Misremember’ How ‘Strong’ Our Recovery Has Been

On Tuesday’s broadcast of CNBC’s ‘Squawk Box,’ Harris-Walz Co-Chair Sen. Chris Coons (D-DE) stated that if you ask people if they’re better off than they were four years ago, ‘many Americans misremember just how bad the economy was four years ago and how strong our economic recovery from the pandemic has been.’

Coons said, ‘Americans, when you ask the question, are you better off today than you were four years ago, many Americans misremember just how bad the economy was four years ago and how strong our economic recovery from the pandemic has been. And, next year, the biggest fight’s going to be over taxes.[’]

Spokesman for Manhattan US Attorney Spills the Beans

 Religio-Political Talk (RPT) (religiopoliticaltalk.com)  Here is the NEW YORK POST’s story:

Video here or Here

A top Department of Justice spokesman in New York was caught on a hidden camera ripping Manhattan District Attorney Alvin Bragg for his recent prosecution of former President Donald Trump — accusing Bragg of conducting “lawfare” just to further his own political ambitions.

Nicholas Biase, chief spokesman for the Manhattan US Attorney’s Office, was secretly recorded tearing into the progressive prosecutor during a recent conversation with a so-called undercover operative from conservative podcaster Steven Crowder’s “Mug Club.”

“Honestly, I think the case is nonsense,” Biase was filmed saying to an unidentified woman on July 31 at what appears to be a bar. …

CNN NOTES:

• A spokesman for the Manhattan US Attorney’s office apologized following the release of a secretly recorded video that captured him slamming Manhattan District Attorney Alvin Bragg’s hush money case against Donald Trump as “nonsense” and a “perversion of justice.”

— they go on to say Steven Crowder has violated YouTube policies in the past… LOL… as if that undermines the above. *SMH*

New Study Shows California Lost Thousands Of Fast Food Jobs After New Minimum Wage Law Went Into Effect

 Steve Straub - TFPP Wire

As with Harris and Biden, these people have never had to meet a payroll or run a business, so this is what we get. TD

"California’s fast-food industry is feeling the effects of Gov. Gavin Newsom’s new $20 minimum wage law, with a reported net loss of over 5,400 jobs since January, according to a new report from the California Globe. While Newsom insists this wage hike is “modest” and manageable, critics argue it is crippling the fast food sector. The impact has already been felt in layoffs, restaurant closures, and reductions in staff hours. Despite the negative press, Newsom remains firm, even dismissing job loss claims as media-driven exaggerations.

Key Facts:

– California’s fast-food industry has lost over 5,400 jobs since the wage hike took effect.
– The minimum wage increase, mandated by Assembly Bill 1228, represents a 25% raise to $20 per hour.
– Neighboring states, such as Nevada and Oregon, have seen job gains in fast food during the same period.
– 74% of California fast-food restaurant owners reported a higher likelihood of closing their businesses.
– Many fast-food chains have resorted to layoffs and price hikes to cope with the new labor costs.

The Rest of The Story:

"California’s fast-food industry has been struggling since the state implemented a mandatory $20 per hour minimum wage in early 2024, spurred by Assembly Bill 1228. The law, which represents a 25% wage hike, was initially heralded by Gov. Newsom as a necessary step to support low-income workers. However, the consequences have been severe, with over 5,400 fast-food jobs lost since the law took effect. Businesses have been quick to respond with layoffs, store closures, and reduced employee hours.

"Rebekah Paxton, the research director at the Employment Policies Institute, explained that California’s fast-food job losses stand in stark contrast to neighboring states like Nevada and Oregon, where fast-food jobs have continued to grow. She also highlighted that this is the worst job growth rate in the industry since the Great Recession.

"In the months following the wage hike, some businesses have had no choice but to shut down. Pizza Hut alone laid off over 1,200 drivers and shifted deliveries to third-party services such as DoorDash and Uber Eats. Even Rubio’s Coastal Grill, a beloved Mexican food chain, shuttered 48 stores across California due to rising operational costs, including wages." . . .

UPDATED! Caught Red-Handed? DOJ Reveals Assassin's Apology Letter for Not Killing Trump Was Written Months Before Attempt! (Photos)

 "Dear World"?

George Rowe - USA SUPREME

. . ." 'The letter, addressed to the world, reads as if Routh already knew he would fail in his mission.

"The letter states in part:

“ 'Dear World, This was an assassination attempt on Donald Trump, but I am so sorry I failed you. I tried my best and gave all the gumption I could muster. It is up to you now to finish the job. And I will offer $150,000 to whomever can complete the job. Everyone across the globe from the youngest to the oldest knows that Trump is unfit to be anything, much less US president…”

"Here is a photo of the letter that was allegedly written by Routh months before the attempted assassination." . . .

"This pre-written apology letter, supposedly penned months before the attempt, raises serious questions. How did Routh know he would fail in his attempt to assassinate Trump long before the event took place? What role did this mysterious letter play in the unfolding plot?

"Adding to the bizarre circumstances, the DOJ revealed that Routh had previously been obsessively fixated on Ukraine, giving interviews in which he expressed a willingness to die for their cause.

"Here is the important section from page 7 of the DOJ report that makes no sense.:" . . .

WATCH: 'Who's Next?!': Biden Snaps at World Leaders, Forgets to Introduce India's PM Modi

Broc Smith toon added by TD

"President Joe Biden became confused at his final Australia-India-Japan-U.S. diplomatic press event, shouting, “Who’s next?!” at the crowd full of reporters and foreign officials before realizing that he was supposed to introduce the Indian prime minister.

"The event for the four countries’ alliance, known as the Quad Summit, took place at Biden’s Wilmington, Delaware, home on Saturday, according to the New York Post.  

“ 'I want to thank you all for being here,” Biden told the audience. “And now, uh, who am I introducing next?”

"A few seconds passed as Biden stared forward in confusion.

“ 'Who’s next?” he shouted, which was followed by another uncomfortably long period of awkward silence. 

"Finally, an announcer’s voice cuts over the speaker and introduces Prime Minister Narendra Modi to the stage: . . .

We really don’t have a president.
Biden completely FORGOT he was at a press conference with the Prime Minister of India.
The entire world is laughing at us.

The EV Graveyard

Issues & Insights  

"We also venture to say that a significant number in this country disfavor EVs because they don’t want to be seen as virtue signalers putting their green cred on display. They see the shallow exhibitions of eco-activism every day and they don’t want to be lumped into that crowd." (Emphasis mine. TD)

"Last week, the House approved a resolution to block the Biden administration’s emissions rule that would require more than half of the automobiles sold in the new-car market to be electric by 2032. The 215 representatives who voted for the bill, including eight Democrats, are far more in tune with most of the country than the White House. The “deplorables” and “bitter” clingers of the industrialized world are rejecting electric vehicles.

"Nationwide, the inventory of unsold EVs had grown by nearly 350% over the first half of 2024, creating “a 92-day supply — roughly three months’ worth of EVs, and nearly twice the industry average,” says Axios, which is 54 days for gasoline-powered vehicles.

"Ford, which lost nearly $73,000 on each EV it sold in the second quarter of 2023, continues to yield to reality, now ditching its plans to build a large electric SUV. This “course change,” says Just the News, “comes amid lower-than-expected demand for electric vehicles.”

"The company has also “pushed back to 2027” plans for “another electric vehicle project for a pickup truck.”

“ 'Based on where the market is and where the customer is, we will pivot and adjust and make those tough decisions,” said John Lawler, Ford’s chief financial officer.

"And here’s the market’s message:

“ 'Of the U.S. consumers planning on purchasing a new vehicle in the next 24 months, only 34% intend to purchase an EV, down 14% from 48% in the 2023,” says Ernst & Young’s Mobility Consumer Index, “a global survey of almost 20,000 consumers from 28 countries.”

"The story is much the same in Britain. EVs “are losing value at an ‘unsustainable’ rate as a slowdown in consumer demand sends used car prices tumbling,” the Telegraph reported last week. Meanwhile in France, “the EU’s second largest market for battery electric vehicles behind Germany,” deliveries have fallen by a third." . . .

The American blueprint for failed negotiations in the Middle East

 CarolineGlick.com  "The White House is pressuring Israel to throw in the towel, but will Prime Minister Netanyahu give in to the unprecedented pressure?

"While it may seem that America is trying to protect Israel from an attack by Iran and its proxies, the truth is that the Biden administration is also containing Israel and preventing a victory.

"I discuss the U.S.’s game plan and how explains the difference between Donald Trump’s foreign policy and the foreign policy we’ll experience if Kamala Harris is elected.

"Don’t miss all the details on “In-Focus”!"

Dan Bongino Sounds Alarm: 'Trump Is Being Hunted!'

 

Jason Walsh (dailyfetched.com)  "Former Secret Service agent and conservative news host Dan Bongino is warning that the safety of former President Donald Trump is compromised due to an “inside threat” within the protective agency.

During Monday’s episode of his show, Bongino suggested that the Republican Nominee is being targeted by professionals who have likely have infiltrated the Secret Service.

"He also warned that these threats against the former president are not isolated incidents, but rather a broader effort to stop Trump from returning to the White House by any means necessary.

"Bongino bluntly warned that the former president is “being hunted,” outlining the threat of Trump becoming the victim of a successful assassination, RVM News reported. 

“So guys, listen this morning, the suspect in the second, sadly, we’ve got to, like, delineate which assassination plot we’re freaking talking about, because President Donald Trump is being hunted,” Bongino stated.

"He noted the word “hunted” was deliberate in order to hammer home the seriousness of the situation.

“ 'I use that word deliberately. Some people will know what I mean if they’re listening, some people who really care,” Bongino said.

"Bongino said that the individuals targeting Trump are not lone wolves, but rather professionals who have access to sensitive information on the former president’s movements." . . .
