Far-Left Blowhard Cenk Uygur Turns on His Own Party After Kamala’s Humiliating Defeat — Now Groveling for a Spot in Elon Musk’s DOGE Team!

Cenk Uygur, founder and lead host of The Young Turks, appears to have distanced himself from his party’s usual rhetoric.
In the wake of Kamala Harris’s crushing defeat, Uygur is not only lambasting his own party but cozying up to unlikely allies, including Elon Musk and even Donald Trump Jr.
Earlier this year, Uygur stunned his base when he announced he was “considering” voting for Robert F. Kennedy Jr. instead of Joe Biden. On his show, Uygur accused the Democrat establishment of sabotaging democracy to maintain its grip on power.
[RFK Jr.] right to be concerned about Biden being a threat to democracy himself, maybe not for the reasons that he’s stating, but Biden did support anti-democratic movements within the primary. The Democratic Party cancelled the election in Florida; they tried to keep out every candidate in North Carolina, Tennessee, et cetera.
So they love to rig elections; yes, I used the word rigged, so you can go cry about it in mainstream media. How about you do you job and talk about how they cancelled an election in Florida and just declared Biden the winner. So if you’re going ot make the argument you are a champion of democracy, you should probably try it in your own primaries.
For the first time today, I’m now considering RFK Jr.
RFK Jr. later dropped out of the race, urging his supporters to vote for Donald Trump.
After Harris’s catastrophic defeat, Uygur’s criticisms only intensified, shifting his focus toward the broader failings of Democrat leadership.
In the aftermath of Kamala Harris’s defeat, Uygur took to X to voice his frustrations with the Democratic establishment. His posts lambasted the party for its intolerance and elitism, claiming they now embody the very corporate culture he once despised in the GOP.
He wrote:
“When I became a Democrat, it was the more tolerant party. Republicans were run by religious nut jobs and corporate robots. Now, the Democrats are in a lot of ways the less tolerant party.
The least tolerant part is actually the establishment wing of the party that says anyone opposing their anointed leaders is committing heresy. If you try to give constructive criticism of the party to improve it, they drive you from the party while screaming, “He’s not a real Democrat!!”
They hate populists. They have become the corporate robots I couldn’t stand. They hate their base. They insult our intelligence by pretending that the donors are not in charge. They think we should be controlled and learn how to follow orders. And they have no idea how elitist they sound.
Predictably, their unironic reaction to this post will be, “Heretic!!””
Uygur’s disillusionment didn’t stop at criticism; it veered into the bizarre when he pitched himself to Elon Musk as a potential ally in slashing government waste. Responding to Musk’s calls for budget efficiency, Uygur volunteered:
“Hey Elon Musk, put me in charge of the Pentagon. I’ll slash $400B easy. That’ll get you 20% to your goal of $2T, right out of the gate. I went to Wharton three years before you. I own a media company, so I know how to run a business. If you really want to cut, put me in, coach.”
Musk’s response? Surprisingly open: “Specific suggestions are welcome.”
Uygur doubled down, suggesting a ten-year ban on generals taking jobs with defense contractors to curb wasteful spending. The idea earned him a rare nod from Donald Trump Jr., who called it “a great idea that has been discussed.”
“As you know, you’d need to see the line items in the budget, but I have one suggestion already. The generals are not allowed to get a job with defense contractors for ten years. They authorize so much wasteful spending because they’re going to get hired by those same companies.”
Uygur responded with unexpected praise for Trump Jr., stating, “While the left is yelling at me not to work with MAGA, here’s Donald Trump Jr. saying we should limit generals from working for defense contractors. That’s a policy we’ve been pushing for and gotten nowhere with Democrats on. Who cares who does it as long as it gets done?”
In another post, Uygur hammered home his newfound skepticism of the Democratic Party’s inclusivity. He contrasted the openness of Musk and the populist right with the rigid orthodoxy of Democrat elites.
“I asked Elon Musk to put me in charge of cutting the Pentagon. And he said – what are your suggestions? I run the largest left-wing network online and a Democratic leader has NEVER asked me that question. The idea that they would take advice from a populist is disdainful to them.
Now, which side seems more open and inclusive? Which side seems more welcoming and which side tries really hard to drive you away if you disagree even a little with orthodoxy? Which side is asking for suggestions and which one is demanding compliance and obedience?”
Now, which side seems more open and inclusive? Which side seems more welcoming and which side tries really hard to drive you away if you disagree even a little with orthodoxy? Which side is asking for suggestions and which one is demanding compliance and obedience?
MUST SEE VIDEO! Decorated Marine, 21 Year NYPD Officer, and J6 Defendant Thomas Webster Is Currently Serving a Decade in Prison! Exculpatory VIDEO Shows Violent DC Metro Cop Punched Webster and Initiated a Fight! Thomas Webster Was Set Up!
November 21, 2024
The Gateway Pundit decided to repost this tragic story of government abuse after we were contacted to a close friend of Thomas Webster this week. Please keep Thomas and all of the J6 defendants in your thoughts and prayers at this time. These men and women never deserved this abuse.
* * * * * * * * * *
A decorated US Marine Veteran, 20 Year NYPD Police Officer, Husband and Father of three turned himself in to authorities in October 2022 to serve the longest sentence that a Judge has handed to a J6 Defendant to date at that time – 10 Years!
Please see the never-before-seen and heartbreaking video below that proves Marine Thomas Webster’s innocence and exculpatory footage of a DC Metro Police Officer provoking him and punching him straight in the face before they wrestle to the ground.
The exculpatory video clips containing in the video above of the officer punching Webster was not handed over to Webster’s attorney until just one week before trial and has been withheld from the public entirely.
The video shows an indignant Webster walk up to the police line and verbally challenge the Metro DC Police after the crowd was attacked with smoke grenades, tear gas, pepper spray, rubber bullets, and people literally being thrown to the ground in the minutes before he reached the gate. An indignant Webster wanted answers, but instead got decked with a loaded left hook by DC Metro Police Officer Noah Rathbun, who had antagonized him with hand gestures seconds earlier and seemed to be challenging him to a fight.
A shocked Webster’s Marine Corps flag drops from his hands and the aggressive officer crossed over the gate to reengage with Webster, who waved him to stay away. The officer still comes forward and grabbed Webster’s flag pole. Webster sensed danger and says he reacted in self defense. The men wrestle to the ground. The office rammed the flag pole twice into the side of Webster’s mouth. Webster admits he grabbed at he officer’s gas mask, but did not strike him, although he could have if he wanted.
The Dishonorable Judge Mehta does not believe in due process and over-sentenced Webster to make an example of him.
The biased jury still found this man guilty on all charges and he will now serve a decade in prison for this scuffle. It is noteworthy that the officer he “attacked” never reported the incident and said he didn’t remember it, until he was approached by the FBI to testify. Officer Rathbun’s body cam footage shows he initiated the fight and punched Webster, therefore it is likely he did not want to draw attention to himself. An incident report is required by DC Metro directives regarding use of force like striking. He said he went to the hospital on the night of January 6th for another injury to his hand, yet never reported an injury or the incident involving Webster. At Webster’s trial Rathbun said he was not hurt and would not issue a victim’s statement.
The biggest part of this story may be what many don’t know- which is that Officer Rathbun was under investigation for the lethal shooting of Vedo Hall on May 24th, 2021. Vedo happens to be black. This is notable as the story of a black man shot and killed by a white cop generally equates to tremendous Mainstream Media coverage, but this particular story is COMPLETELY BURIED and no one heard about this incident. An incident like this gets viral national attention and the attention of Black Lives Matter. YET THERE IS ONLY A MINUSCULE AMOUNT OF INFORMATION RELEASED TO THE PUBLIC. Even more suspicious- according to the brief report on NBC Washington, “for the first time since the District enacted a law requiring the release of body-worn camera footage any time a D.C. police officer uses lethal force, Mayor Muriel Bowser will not release video of the most recent police killing.“ Muriel Bowser is a big supporter of the Black Lives Matter Movement, so this makes little to no sense. Black Lives Matter would surely demand release of this body-cam footage if they caught wind of this story, yet it was BURIED.
Those close to the matter suspect that the story was covered up and the lid kept tight because Officer Rathbun’s credibility and reputation was needed to stay intact so he could testify as star victim witness against Webster. The case against Webster would go up in smoke if Rathbun was nationally exposed and demonized to the jury. With a possible use of force investigation that could result in national notoriety and jail time, the Government literally had Rathbun by the cajones, and the reluctant Rathbun had to testify to put Webster away. The morning of the first day of the trail the prosecution announced that the investigation into Rathbun’s shooting incident was over, and the jury could not be made aware of it, and the Officer could not be questioned about it in the trial.
*We at the Gateway Pundit will investigate this “coincidence” further.
Webster, a pawn in the Biden Regime’s agenda, is the unfortunate one that will pay with a decade of his life and leave his wife and teenage children behind.
Decorated Marine Thomas Webster is being used as an example by the Biden Regime. Webster served Honorably and with Distinction in the most decorated 1st Battalion of the United States Marine Corps.
“Under normal circumstances, a person’s long history of service would be considered in sentencing,” said Micki Witthoeft (Ashli Babbitt’s mother) of Citizen Against Political Persecution. “This is NOT a normal America that we are living in. It is extremely disturbing that the judge in this case DID NOT take into consideration Thomas Webster’s valiant service to this country.”
Even more egregious is the fact that the Dishonorable Judge Amit P. Mehta went so far as to essentially rule that Thomas Webster was a LIAR for claiming “Self-Defense” when Webster testified the officer he wrestled with punched him straight in the face and incited the fight. The video posted in this article shows that Webster was NOT lying- in fact the video shows multiple angles of DC Metro Police Officer Noah Rathburn deck Webster as he argued with him at a gate holding his Marine Corps flag.
The Dishonorable Judge Mehta does not believe in due process. The Obama appointee is part of the Regime and over sentenced Webster to gain brownie points with the Regime.
The clear and blatant weaponization of the Law Enforcement and Judicial system at the highest levels in America is on full display in Thomas Webster’s case. Statistically, the FBI, DOJ, and even the Federal Judges are going extremely hard after anyone involved with January 6 who are decorated military veterans, former/active Law Enforcement, and Constitutionally-conservative in their political ideology.
“In the case of Thomas Webster, this is yet another blatant example of the US Federal Government taking the very things this nation has long valued and enshrined as the earmarks of a NATIONAL HERO, cast them aside, and destroyed their lives,” said Randy Ireland of Americans For Justice.
Thomas Webster served Honorably and with Distinction in the most decorated 1st Battalion of the United States Marine Corps, which included 3 oversees deployments. He received a slew of Medals, Ribbons, and Commendations for his 4 years of service. After serving in the Marines, Mr. Webster joined the NYPD in 1991 and served with an unblemished record for 21 years. This included training hundreds of NYPD Recruits, and serving in many prominent positions – to include serving on the Personal Protective Detail for NYC Mayor Bloomberg.
20 Year NYPD Police Officer Thomas Webster had an unblemished record. He was part of Mayor Bloomberg’s security detail.
“How does a man so highly regarded as a pillar of his community, one who served this country with Valor and Distinction over an entire career, get reduced to a common criminal deserving of nearly a decade in FEDERAL PRISON?”, asked Witthoeft. “Heartbreakingly, it only takes a few moments on the West Terrace of the US Capitol on the afternoon of January 6th.”
*Thomas Webster does not have a GiveSendGo, so we encourage readers to post comments and prayers to this article so he can read them before he turns himself in tomorrow to spend the next decade in prison.
Here is the narration of the video above transcribed:
On January 6, 2021 Thomas Webster attended his very first political rally EVER! At 2pm he arrived at the capitol building and went to the West Terrace – along with thousands of others – after being told there would be a speech. As Tom walked closer to the gathering of protestors the reality of the situation began settling in. Tactics being used by the police were hurting and ultimately killing protestors – to include Benjamin Philips and Kevin Greeson. Tom witnessed elderly people covered in blood, terrified children, and people who had been severely injured from projectiles. Women being assaulted and beaten – even when their hands were in the air! Bodies were being carried off on makeshift stretchers! Tom say he also also witnessed people praying in groups, forming circles of support, and begging for God’s grace to survive this madness.
At 2:28pm Tom Webster walked up to a police line, in disbelief at how Americans were being treated by LAW ENFORCEMENT! He approached the barrier to express his 1st Amendment Right. Metropolitan PD police officer Noah Rathburn immediately reacted with very aggressive shoving, instead of de-escalation. At one point Rathburn looks up at Webster’s Marine Corps flag and initiates physical contact – over the barrier! The officer pushed Webster – the push can be seen from several angles when it happens.
An indignant Webster approached DC Metro Police and demands to know why the people are being attacked. He is decked in the face by DC Metro Officer Noah Rathburn and they wrestle to the ground.
Noah Rathburn gives no verbal warning! Instead he reaches over the police barricade, lunges, and pushes Webster multiple times. Frustrated by the Officer’s repeated escalation of physical contact, Webster pushes the bike gate. With a deliberate wind-up, officer Rathburn then punches Webster hard in the face with a GLOVED-HAND. Webster said the punch hit like a freight train, and he was left seeing stars. Noah testified that he attempted to push Webster’s shoulder and slipped, hitting his face. Webster reacts to the hit in self-defense, swinging his flag at the gate rail, never making contact with the officer.
The officer crosses over the gate rail to re-engage Webster. Webster had backed away from the police barrier and reacts to the officer coming towards him. Webster waves the officer to stay away, as at this point Webster believes the officer is after him. The officer crossed the gate rail and grabs the flagpole away from Webster. Webster feels the crowd move forward and feels pressure from a red-hatted man behind him. Tom felt the need to defend himself. The officer then rams the flagpole twice into the side of Webster’s face and mouth. Webster pushes up the officer’s gas mask but doesn’t strike back.
After clearly being assaulted – by a Law Enforcement Officer – Thomas Webster is now forced to turn himself in to serve a 10-Year Prison Sentence where, as a former Law Enforcement Officer himself, he will be surrounded by violent criminals with a target on his back!
Webster was accused of attacking the DC Metro Bully with his pole, and this carefully curated picture was used excessively by the fake news media and prosecutors to demonize him. Ironically, it shows the DC Metro Cop shoving the pole in the face of Webster. The is no video documentation to show Webster ever making contact with the pole as popularly believed due to lazy fake news reporting.
Please see the longer version if the video above with commentary by the Gateway Pundit’s Cara Castronuova.
“This is not just one isolated story emanating from the events of January 6th at the US Capitol Building,” said Ireland. “The Biden Administration is zealously carrying on the very same culture and weaponization of the Law Enforcement and Judicial system that was put in place by the Obama administration- the culture of specifically targeting STRONG, PRINCIPLED, and CONSTITUTIONALLY CONSERVATIVE members of the Military Veteran, Christian, and Law Enforcement communities. Why? Because these are exactly the kind of GODLY, PATRIOTIC, and HEROIC men that most threatens the Socialist, Marxist, Communist, and Globalist ideals that our very own US FEDERAL GOVERNMENT have come to embrace!”
According to Americans For Justice, at least half of those indefinitely detained regarding January 6th have Military, Law Enforcement, or First Responder backgrounds – and many believe they have been singled out by our Federal Government as the ones deserving of the heaviest sentences.
*Thomas Webster does not have a GiveSendGo, so we encourage readers to post comments and prayer to this article so he can read them before he turns himself in tomorrow to spend the next decade in prison.
January 6th defendant Ronald McAbee was an active Deputy Sheriff, Bart Shively is a Marine Veteran undergoing chemotherapy for cancer he contracted from the drinking water while stationed at Camp Lejeune, Jessica Watkins a decorated Army Ranger, Jeremy Brown a decorated Green Beret, Joseph Biggs a Purple Heart recipient combat veteran, etc.
“This is direct assault and targeted persecution of all individuals that show themself to be a Christian, a Veteran, a Law Enforcement officer, a dedicated family person or a defender of the US Constitution,” said Witthoeft.
Webster with his three children.
Retired 22-Year FBI Agent TM says, “I am a retired FBI Special Agent who worked for the FBI from 1998 to 2020. For the past 6 years, but especially over the past 2 years, I cannot believe what the agency I gave 22 years to has become. I am completely embarrassed at what the FBI and DOJ has become!”
“The decline of the FBI began with Mueller and continued under Comey and Wray,” TM added. To put things into perspective, “I was described as being ‘dumb’ for voting for Trump in 2016 by an AUSA and DOJ attorney,” says TM. He continues, “I have never met a moderate or conservative AUSA hired after 2010.”
“You have to look back to 2010,” said Ireland. “With the appointments of Brennan, Clapper, and Comey the US Government put into the highest positions within the intelligence community at least 2 admitted Communists! In December of 2003 James Comey said, “I voted for Reagan – I’d moved from Communist to whatever I am now. I’m not even sure how to characterize myself politically.” Then in September of 2016, former CIA Director John Brennan bragged about himself when he shared this about the polygraph test he took when he entered the CIA. “I froze,” Brennan said. “This was back in 1980, and I thought back to a previous election where I voted, and I voted for the Communist Party candidate.””
He continued:
“There can be no mistake, the Obama Administration ushered in an era of purges that occurred throughout all levels of Law Enforcement – not just at the federal level – to include the state and local levels. Michael Nichols, a US Marine Veteran and retired police officer from upstate New York, says “…much of what we see today happening throughout Law Enforcement across this great nation started in the US Prison system decades ago! It was all first tested on Prisoners, then crept its way into our schools, colleges, and ultimately our Federal Government.” “
Webster as a free man in happier times on his wedding day. His wife is coping with the fact that she will spend the next decade without the love of her life by her side.
“Thomas Webster’s case MUST be a wake up call to ALL AMERICANS across this great country,” said Ireland. “How can Military Veterans sit idly by while some of the most decorated Military Veterans languish behind bars indefinitely at the Washington DC Gulag? How can retired Law Enforcement officers do nothing when members of their own community face 10-Year federal prison sentences – only for exercising their Constitutionally-Protected right of Self-Defense? The United States Federal Government, through the actions of the FBI, DOJ, and the Federal Courts have officially declared war on the US Constitution, US Military Veterans, Christians and/or Christian organizations, and any Conservative-Leaning Law Enforcement member.”
He continued:
“If we do not immediately stand up and support Thomas Webster then you, I, or our nearest decorated National Hero just might be next!”
Webster as an active duty Marine, enjoying freedom he fought for, oblivious to the fact that his own Government would come back to unfairly persecute him.
**Thomas Webster does not have a GiveSendGo, so we encourage readers to post comments and prayers below so he can read them before he turns himself in tomorrow to spend the next decade in prison.
Remember, in the end God wins.

Tucker Carlson on Joe Biden Ramping Up War with Russia: “We’re Watching the Most Evil Thing I’ve Ever Seen in My Lifetime” (VIDEO)
November 21, 2024
Joe Biden is pushing the West into WWIII before he leaves office.
As The Gateway Pundit reported earlier, Joe Biden and his handlers are moving quickly to ignite World War III before Christmas and before President Trump can be inaugurated and bring peace to the region.
On Sunday, Joe Biden’s regime approved Ukraine’s use of US-made long-range missiles to strike deep inside Russia.
The Washington Post reported that Biden will allow Ukraine to use a powerful American long-range weapon for strikes inside Russia, supposedly in response to North Korea’s recent aid to Russia in the form of thousands of troops. Ukraine will be specifically allowed to use the Army Tactical Missile System (ATACMS) to hit targets inside Russia.
As The Post notes, ATACMS is a supersonic-guided missile system that can be used with either cluster munitions or conventional warheads. It has a maximum range of about 190 miles.
The Post elaborates that Ukraine is expected to focus on and around the Kursk region at first but could expand its targets.
On Tuesday, Ukraine fired six US-made long-range missiles inside Russia. The first Ukrainian strike targeted the border region of Bryansk in Russia.
According to BRICS News – Five missiles were shot down by S-400 & Pantsir AA systems, one was damaged, its fragments fell in the technical zone of a military facility, causing a fire, Russian Defense Ministry says.
Putin, following reports of Biden’s decision to give Ukraine permission to “long-range” missiles, approved the updated nuclear doctrine of the Russian Federation. As part of the new doctrine Russia spelled out that aggression against Russia and its allies by a non-nuclear country with the support of a nuclear state will be considered a joint attack.
On Wednesday morning Joe Biden approved antipersonnel land mines for Ukraine – undoing his previous policy.
Tucker Carlson interviews Glenn Greenwald on Joe Biden’s attempts to ignire World War III.
Also, on Wednesday, Tucker Carlson released his latest interview with Glenn Greenwald on Permanent Washington’s latest move to escalate the War with Russia.
Tucker called Joe Biden’s latest move to arm Ukraine with long-distance US missiles “the most evil thing I’ve ever seen in my lifetime.”
The Deep State doesn’t care. They prefer nuclear war over Trump.
Tucker Carlson: I think we’re watching the most evil thing I’ve ever seen in my lifetime, which is the lame duck administration leaving the next administration with the World War, with the nuclear conflict, by allowing Ukraine, a proxy state of the United States, to strike within Russia.
I think that people in Washington misunderstand Vladimir Putin, and they think he’s a monarch with absolute power, which is not true. And Russian politics is complex and it’s lively, and Putin is very concerned with his approval rating within Russia. He cannot appear weak. That’s a huge threat to him. He feels that. I can confirm.
If he can’t hide attacks on him by the United States through Ukraine, either on Moscow or big civilian casualties, I think he will have no choice in his view, but to launch a serious response against Ukraine or NATO countries or possibly the United States. It seems like the most reckless thing that’s ever happened in my life.
Glenn Greenwald: For Joe Biden or whoever’s acting in his name, to do this just two weeks after the country resoundingly rejected governance by the Democratic Party and the administration, and on his way out as an 81-year-old man, knowing that he has about six weeks left in office, to just say, I know that these are massive risks, but I’m going to take them. I’m 81. I don’t really care.
Then to make it so much more difficult for the following administration to do what they promised to do during the campaign, which the American people voted for and wanted, which is to resolve this war. Instead, we’re risking escalation with the world’s largest superpower, nuclear power, over what?
“One of the most evil things I have ever seen in my lifetime. The lame duck administration (Biden) leaving the next administration with a world war, a nuclear conflict”
Neocon Nikki Haley Launches Bitter Attack on Trump Cabinet Picks — Slams RFK Jr. and Tulsi Gabbard
November 21, 2024
Credit: SiriusXM
Nikki Haley, the failed presidential hopeful turned bitter pundit, has once again lashed out at President-elect Donald Trump—this time targeting his cabinet picks.
Despite her previous claims of support for Trump, Haley’s recent comments on her podcast, Nikki Haley Live, show her true colors as a divisive neocon unable to move past her rejection from Trump’s administration.
After ending her failed presidential campaign, Haley continued to assert that Trump was “unfit for office” but eventually said she would be voting for him.
In May, Trump said Haley would “be on our team in some form” after the hawkish former ambassador to the United Nations finally said she would vote for him — but made it very clear that she wanted a role in the administration.
However, President Trump recently announced on Truth Social that neither Nikki Haley nor Mike Pompeo will have roles in his upcoming administration.
“I will not be inviting former Ambassador Nikki Haley, or former Secretary of State Mike Pompeo, to join the Trump Administration, which is currently in formation,” Trump wrote. “I very much enjoyed and appreciated working with them previously, and would like to thank them for their service to our Country. MAKE AMERICA GREAT AGAIN!” Trump wrote.
Haley responded to the announcement in a post on X, saying, “I was proud to work with President Trump defending America at the United Nations. I wish him, and all who serve, great success in moving us forward to a stronger, safer America over the next four years.”

Haley’s response to the news on X was diplomatic on the surface, as she wished Trump’s team success. However, the gloves came off on her podcast.
In a rant that could only be described as sour grapes, Haley lambasted RFK Jr., Trump’s pick for Health and Human Services, and Tulsi Gabbard, his choice for Director of National Intelligence.
Haley criticized RFK Jr., a potential Health and Human Services appointee, for his previous Democratic affiliations, saying:
“He endorsed Al Gore, John Kerry, Hillary Clinton, and Barack Obama. He said just this past year that he and Trump’s positions, quote, “could not be further apart.” He is strongly pro-choice, wants to go back to Roe v. Wade standards, and allow abortion up until the time of birth.
To summarize, he’s a liberal Democrat, environmental attorney, and trial lawyer who will now be overseeing 25% of our federal budget without any background in health care.”
She further accused Kennedy of lacking experience in healthcare, conveniently ignoring his decades-long advocacy on public health and vaccine transparency—issues that resonate with many Americans fed up with Big Pharma’s stranglehold on policy.
“Some of you may think RFK is cool. Some of you may like that he questions what’s in our food and vaccines. But we don’t know what decisions he’ll make behind the scenes when given the reins of an agency. The Senate needs to ask him hard questions before approving him.”
Haley’s attacks on Tulsi Gabbard were even more inflammatory. She painted Gabbard, a former Democrat turned independent, as a “sympathizer” of hostile nations.
“Now, everybody loves that she is now saying she’s a Republican, but I have always said, let’s look at what they’ve said and what their actions are. DNI, that is the President’s top intelligence advisor. It’s supposed to fairly represent the views of 18 separate intelligence agencies and units. It has authority over a $100 billion annual U.S. spy budget and holds sway over which secrets we declassify. That’s a big deal. This is a job for an honest broker without any pronounced policy biases.
What are the facts about Tulsi Gabbard? She opposed ending the Iran nuclear deal. She opposed sanctions on Iran. She opposed designating the Iranian military as terrorists—those who say “death to America” every single day. She said that Donald Trump turned the U.S. into Saudi Arabia’s prostitute. This is going to be the future head of our national intelligence?
In Congress, Tulsi criticized Trump’s authoritarian strike against Qassem Soleimani. Now, I will remind you, he was considered the master of death in Iran. She said he had no justification whatsoever for killing him. She tried to limit Trump’s war powers against Iran. She tried to cut our annual defense budget so that we couldn’t punish Iran and hinder their influence.
Reminder: Iran is our number one sponsor of terrorism, and Tulsi Gabbard was defending Iran. She went to Syria in 2017 for a photo op with Bashar al-Assad while he was massacring his own people. She said she was skeptical that he was behind the chemical weapons attacks.
[…]
She called for Trump to end the “destructive trade war” with China. So now she’s defended Russia, she’s defended Syria, she’s defended Iran, and she’s defended China. She has not denounced any of these views. None of them. She hasn’t taken one of them back.
DNI, the Department of National Intelligence, is not a place for a Russian, Iranian, Syrian, or Chinese sympathizer. DNI has to analyze real threats. Are we comfortable with someone like that at the top of our national intelligence agencies?”
Haley’s criticisms reek of hypocrisy. This is the same woman who once served as Trump’s ambassador to the United Nations yet spent years distancing herself from his policies.
Her willingness to vote for Trump after her campaign flopped seemed more like a desperate plea for relevance than a genuine act of loyalty.
Russia Strikes Ukrainian Defense Plant in Dnepropetrovsk Using Intercontinental Ballistic Missiles for the First Time in Warfare (VIDEOS)
November 21, 2024
As we stare into the future of the war in Ukraine, we now have daily escalations from both sides, each scarier than the next.
On Thursday, Russia fired an intercontinental ballistic missile (ICBM) with multiple non-nuclear re-entry warheads on the city of Dnepropetrovsk, in Ukraine.
This comes after Joe Biden approved the use of long-range US-made missiles to be fired by Ukraine into Russia – which they did earlier this week.
This strike marks the first time that an ICBM has been used in the history of human conflict.
It is believed that six RS-26 missile strikes completely destroyed the Yuzhmash defense plant, where the damaged American Bradley infantry fighting vehicles and German Leopard tanks were being repaired.
At the same time of the main attack, Kinzhal missiles hit the local Patriot air defense system battery.
“The dramatic video shows flashes lighting up the sky – believed to be six separate warheads of a R-26 Rubezh intercontinental ballistic missile.”
This is the very first time that a R-26 Rubezh has ever been used.
The conventional attack is believed to be paving the way for a potential tactical nuclear strike by Russian Federation forces.
“The suspected attack on the Yuzhmash defense plant is believed to be payback for Ukraine’s first ever use of British-French-made Storm Shadow missiles on Russian territory.”
Watch: ICBM strike in Yuzhmash defense plant from another angle.
As Ive been saying, Russia has options.
Ukrainian military sources claim that a non-nuclear intercontinental ballistic missile (ICBM) with multiple warheads was launched at them from Astrakhan in Russia, they cant be intercepted.
