New Sworn Statement Alleges Pete Hegseth Is A Serial Abuser — Of Both His Ex-Wives…

This is the guy is who Tangerine 2.0 wants to lead the Department of Defense.

And as to skill-set, there is no doubt that he has never led any organization of even one one hundred thousandth that size. He bankrupted a charity he ran, with only about 100 employees.

Then, as to “character and integrity” — he’s admitted that he WILL (probably!) stop drinking, if/when he is confirmed as Secretary of Defense.

On that dimension, a new sworn statement has appeared at the Senate hearings, in which the second ex-wife’s sister in law (who has since divorced Pete’s brother) alleges he was so abusive that Pete’s second ex- had a “safe-routine” all mapped — for escapes, and that she had, on occasion locked herself in the closet to avoid his abuse.

Here’s the scoop:

…Senators received an affidavit Tuesday from the former sister-in-law of defense secretary nominee Pete Hegseth in which she says his behavior caused his second wife to fear for her safety. The receipt of the affidavit comes after Senate Armed Services Committee staffers were in contact with Hegseth’s former sister-in-law for several days….

And sadly, this is exactly the kind of guy with whom Tangerine 2.0 works best — false bravado, around weaker foes — but will always fold — in a battle of equals, or against his betters.

In fact, he had no business being on air for Faux, we now are learning.

But this is who Trump wants to lead hundreds of thousands of able, fierce, hard working courageous women soldiers?!

Damn. And of course the Powerline boys are mum — because some of them call him their drinking buddy.

But also “don’t offend the Dotard” — is their continuing mantra.

[U] Instead Of Tangerine’s Lunacy — He Thinks He Can Amend The 14th Amendment, Solo — I’ll Offer… What Is The Best Of America, From a Few Years Back.

Updated 01.22.25 @ 9 PM: Hinderaker tries, a day and night later, to claim the Fourteenth Amendment’s plain meaning doesn’t apply to Tangerine 2.0’s burp. Hilarious. [If people without papers “are not subject to US jurisdiction”, as John claims — then we have no jurisdiction to deport them, or to regulate them in any manner. That alone points out Hinderaker’s obvious and likely intentional “error” in analysis.] End update.

Just click the video. You will thank me for it. As overnight, Tangerine 2.0 signed a meaningless scribble that purported to remove birthright citizenship. He has no such power — and he never will garner such power. So, click this, instead:

To be sure — we won’t list all the ways ALL of what he proposes — on each order — is defective, but this you may count on: about 95% of all of these “orders” are facially defective. Full stop:

…”The Constitution of the United States says that if you are born on our soil, and you are not the child of an ambassador, you are an American citizen. Simply put, if you are born here, you belong here,” Meyerson said. “That’s been the rule from the 14th Amendment right after the Civil War. Supreme Court confirmed that in the 1890s, so the president wants to issue an order saying, ‘I don’t like this. I want to get, get rid of all these kids born here if their parents weren’t citizens,’ and the president has no power to do that….”

And one more video — to remind you — America is much bigger than one vain, degenerate 78 year old felon:

Mirengoff Gets This One… Right.

I’ll just say it: he is finally willing to call a spade… a spade.

Here’s his take on it all:

…This is what things have come to in America. A former president and then-current presidential candidate makes unprecedented statements that raise the prospect of using the criminal justice system to prosecute his political enemies. A sitting president and local partisan prosecutors use the criminal justice against that candidate.

Then, on his way out the door, that president issues a series of unprecedented and problematic preemptive pardons — and, ironically, thereby spares the once-and-future president from shooting itself in the foot.

And then, once that president is installed, he immediately starts a new cycle of disrespect for law and order by pardoning his shock troops for committing violent crimes in the same building where he has just been sworn in as chief enforcer of our laws…

Very good. Now DO something about it — inside your own party, man.

Courtesy Of Anon. — A Metallic Rock, On The Ocean Floor… Is Producing Oxygen — By Electrolysis?!

This is some seriously baffling underwater geological science. Could this finding mean that even in the deepest oceans under Europa’s thick water ice crust — oxygen is produced by similar metallic rocks — at its own rocky core? The mind boggles, as to what that means for the prospect for life… off of Earth.

Here’s the story from CNN this morning:

…A startling discovery made public in July that metallic rocks were apparently producing oxygen on the Pacific Ocean’s seabed, where no light can penetrate, was a scientific bombshell.

Initial research suggested potato-size nodules rich in metals, predominantly found 4,000 meters (13,100 feet) below the surface in the Clarion-Clipperton Zone, released an electrical charge, splitting seawater into oxygen and hydrogen through electrolysis. The unprecedented natural phenomenon challenges the idea that oxygen can only be made from sunlight via photosynthesis….

The daily firehose of science advancing… is almost more than us amateurs can keep up with. Who knew all this was happening in deep, dark, cold ocean trenches?! Great find, Anon. — nope, hadn’t seen it! Onward, grinning!

[U: Johnson’s Reaction] Who Is Pardoned/Commuted?! Stewart Rhodes?! J6 Leader? Disbarred Lawyer?! Damn.

Updated: 01.21.2025 — Scott Johnson (speaking of Rhodes’ commutation) — says it was “a great day” — and that “some discrimination is warranted”. This, immediately after decrying Mr. Biden’s pardons of Dr. Fauci — who has never even been credibly investigated for even a misdemeanor — as “shameful, on King Day”. He feels it’s wrong to help people who are innocent avoid Tangerine 2.0’s promised revenge tour — but it’s cool to free violent seditionists, who’ve served 2 years of an 18 year multi-felony convicted sentence.

He’s what’s wrong with America. He’s… soulless. End, update.

And well… I’ll brook no complaints about Mr. Biden’s pardon portfolio.

The vile, evil man at right tried to violently overthrow a peaceful US transfer of power. He was doing 18 years for his crimes. Here’s a reliable source, on it:

…In spirit of “national reconciliation,” Trump offers clemency to all Jan. 6 defendants and commutes sentence of Oath Keepers founder Stewart Rhodes….

We will discuss tomorrow how most of his executive orders on immigration and border matters have already been held by multiple appellate courts (in Tangerine 1.0) to violate the United States Constitution, and our treaties.

Hey Hinderaker! Just Because He’s Elected, Doesn’t Mean He’s Worthy. Of Anything.

Facts are facts.

He’s a 34 time convicted and sentenced… felon.

A serial forcible sexual offender… one who lies about the essential facts surrounding it (so much so that he now owes hundreds of millions of dollars in libel judgment damages).

A serial fraudster — forbidden from ever running a charity again in New York State (for lying about what assets the charity held).

That was AlSO for gaming “donations” for bogus tax deductions.

He’s on videotape (as at right) saying just “grab her by the pussy!”

He’s on audiotape saying he would like to “date” his own daughter.

He sought to have five innocent young men hung, in New York in the ‘90s, in what turned out a case of wildly mistaken identity. He took out a full page ad seeking the death penalty, about that.

It turns out they were Black men, and it turns out he’s never once apologized for that. [One of them now serves on New York’s City Council.]

So yeah — forgive me, John, the fact that slightly more of you morons voted for him than those of us who voted against him… does not put him in good standing with me.

He is not someone I would even trust to be the local dog catcher. And you’re just the type of putz that ignores all of the above FACTS, solely to get your own palm greased.

Sure, it’s gonna’ be a long four years… but I will spend most of them — laughing at him — and laughing at you.

You’re both utterly… pathetic.

Out.

Brrrr! But Well-Worth It! The Turnout — Of About 1,000 — Was Impressive For The Negative 15 Wind-Chills…

So — to be certain, Dr. King would have willingly braved the cold, as well.

And you may see the helicopter footage on local Chicago news stations’ online feeds — and you’ll realize that this one is far short of the perhaps 200,000 who turned out in the city of big shoulders (that legacy video appears below), when the protests, of Tangerine’s first inaugural were held. But it was not “get frost-bite in ten minutes” outside weather — on that 2017 morning.

Our local Chicago laws have been upheld in the US Supreme Court, from last time around. There was training for those in attendance, prior to the march. You see, inside our city limits, and inside my township just north of it, local law enforcement has the right, and will act — to enforce it… to turn the ICE raiders off of the streets. And these local volunteer forces, aided by local law enforcement (if need be) will guide ALL PERSONS (regardless of undocumented status), to walk peaceably, quietly and safely away from any ICE raid, to the nearest church.

Once inside the church, ICE will be trespassing if they enter. And they will be arrested.

Here’s a bit of today’s rundown — and these are my photos… I’ll not bore the readership with all the video, but it is on YouTube:

…Thousands protest in Chicago as Trump takes office….

Activists and immigrant rights groups gathered in Chicago Monday to protest the inauguration of President Donald Trump, calling for unity and vowing to fight Trump’s policies….

Onward, resolutely. Onward. And here was the early 2018 version:

I’m… “Shocked, Shocked… I Tell You.” Hilarious.

Gee — who could have possibly guessed that a sh!t-coin hooked to Trump, would fraudulently be round trip traded, to become the 21st largest crypto — in only four days… Only for the pump to be dumped, here as we head into his swearing in?

Yep — vast craters ahead, for his and Melania’s crap-coins. Hilariously, the First Lady’s trading symbol suggests her body odor… is strong — and pungent, with the dollar sign (which the quote machines put in front of each coin’s name, automatically) in front of her name reading as “Smellania“. [These are not the sharpest folks.] Boing, and yikes:

…The $TRUMP/USDT pair has emerged as the most-traded pair over the past 24 hours on the leading exchange, Binance, representing 13.3% of the total exchange volume, according to Coingecko….

However, the perpetual futures cumulative volume delta, which reflects the difference between buying and selling volume, has dropped by over 1%, indicating a relative increase in selling volume. In other words, traders are either taking outright shorts or bearish bets or closing long positions….

Probably best to just sit this particular casino game… out. Gosh — are these people ever… idiots.

Strange Times — Strange Measures.

It is perhaps overkill, to have to issue “pardons” — for following crystal clear pandemic abatement bio-science, or following the evidence of felony insurrection (on a non-partisan basis) — wherever it leads… but these are likely to be strange times, at least for a bit. [Ones Scott Johnson lacks the fortitude to deal with — directly. He well knows the Tangerine 2.0 revenge tour is unlawful — but he blames the protectors of democracy, instead. Ugh.]

So it is that Mr. Biden has preemptively pardoned Dr. Fauci and Liz Cheney and Gen. (Ret.) Mark Milley, among others here on his last day at 1600 Penn. See the AP story here:

…President Joe Biden on Monday pardoned Dr. Anthony Fauci, retired Gen. Mark Milley and members of the House committee that investigated the Jan. 6 attack on the Capitol, using the extraordinary powers of his office in his final hours to guard against potential “revenge” by the incoming Trump administration.

The decision by Biden comes after Donald Trump warned of an enemies list filled with those who have crossed him politically or sought to hold him accountable for his attempt to overturn his 2020 election loss and his role in the storming of the U.S. Capitol on Jan. 6, 2021. Trump has selected Cabinet nominees who backed his election lies and who have pledged to punish those involved in efforts to investigate him….

Onward then — to stand under the long arches of the Calder, in Federal Plaza — at least the sun will be shining to warm the air a bit. Plus five absolute is forecast by noon. Minus 16 wind chills as I write this. But onward, just the same… he must be peaceably opposed. Out.
