Tuberville drops military holds – 'When
you change the rules, it’s hard to beat somebody'
Posted By: minuteman, 12/6/2023 7:15:46 AM
After over nine months of holding up military promotions, U.S. Sen. Tommy Tuberville (R-Auburn) announced Tuesday that he is releasing his hold on leadership nominees except for four-star generals… In response, the Senate rules committee passed a resolution last month to bypass Tuberville's holds. Tuberville initially did not believe the rule change would have the necessary GOP support to pass but changed his tune recently, expressing concern that Senate Democrats would get the nine Republican votes needed to pass.

HOOVER — On the eve of the fourth GOP presidential debate slated for the Moody Music Building on the University of Alabama campus in Tuscaloosa, Republican presidential hopeful Vivek Ramaswamy made his case… “That means the people who we elect to run the government ought to be the ones who actually run the government, not this managerial bureaucracy in those three-letter agencies that run the show today…Eight-year term limits for the bureaucracy, shut down government agencies that should not exist from the FBI and the ATF to the CDC to the U.S. Department of Education."

FFox News cut off a live broadcast of a Donald Trump rally in Iowa to correct his "untruths" about the last election. During a broadcast of Trump's Saturday rally, Fox anchor Arthel Neville cut away from the former president to clarify that the 2020 election was not rigged, telling viewers that Trump made "many untruths" during his speech.
"The 2020 election was not rigged. It was not stolen," Neville said before adding, "But still, Trump is way ahead in the polls."
“Accidents” of history are sometimes the Providence of God.
In 1620 the Pilgrims sailed for America, intending to plant a colony in northern Virginia. But a storm blew them off course, and they found themselves off the coast of Massachusetts. Realizing God had steered them northward so they would not be under the authority of the Virginia Colony, they were now free to draft their own articles of government.
Whoever came up with the original concept of “smart” devices had to be a fan of the “Terminator” movies.
Because if these things are smart, they wouldn’t break down constantly and drive us insane. But that’s part of their devious plan. (I’m not some conspiracy theory guy. This is real.)
The 2023 election was another disappointing affair for Republicans. Kentucky and Ohio both produced results that should leave the GOP questioning what changes need to be made before the all-important 2024 election arrives. With that said, there were some bright spots. Specifically, in Virginia, Republicans showed a surprising level of strength despite falling short of taking the legislature. That's probably not what you are getting from the headlines this morning, but the numbers show an overperformance by the Glenn Youngkin-led GOP there.
When campaigning for your 2022 vote, did you see any advertisements from conservative candidates promoting the idea, “If you elect me, I will vote for raising taxes on gasoline, unlimited expansion of casino gambling, legalizing marijuana, and keeping Alabama’s K-12 education system 50th in the nation?”
The answer is a resounding NO! Yet given the direction of these issues in our state, you’re likely perplexed as to who is really running Montgomery.
Much of the planet is holding its breath waiting for the next move in the war in Israel and wondering if it will spiral out of control into a wider regional war… Evil will always exist, but the greatest danger to free people are the so-called moderates that refuse to acknowledge or choose between good and evil. While most are unsuspecting, it is among the cowardly or undecided where Satan makes his greatest gains.

...The image of the empty altar-place, stripped clean as though by birds on a roadkill, brought my mind back to something I saw online not long after the Hamas attack on Israel. It was a young Muslim man standing frantic and desperate in Times Square, claiming that now was the time that EVERYONE must convert to the religion of Islam.
“Is the West strong enough to withstand this?” I wondered.
JASPER — U.S. Sen. Tommy Tuberville (R-Auburn) told 1819 News on Tuesday he expects an apology from former CIA director Michael Hayden for a comment Hayden made late on Monday night suggesting Tuberville should be removed from "the human race."
Former President George W. Bush appointed Hayden CIA director in 2006. Before that, he was head of head of the National Security Agency, overseeing the organization's controversial domestic wiretapping program.
A wild crash on a California freeway was captured on video last week showing a car flip through the air after it struck a tire that popped off a pickup truck and was sent airborne.
The accident happened Thursday on the Ronald Reagan Freeway in Chatsworth neighborhood of Los Angeles.
Anoop Khatra was driving behind a dark-colored Kia Soul in the left lane when her dashcam recorded the heart-pounding moment.
A white pickup truck was driving in the lane adjacent to the Kia when the pickup’s front-left tire popped loose and shot out in front of the Kia, according to the video.
U.S. Rep. Dale Strong (R-Huntsville) joined other Republican members of the U.S. House of Representatives Homeland Security Committee on a trip to El Paso, Texas, last week to witness the ongoing border crisis firsthand...
"We just left the port of entry. We weren't there five minutes, and here comes a car loaded with fentanyl and heroin," Strong said in a self-recorded video on his Twitter page. "It's worse than you can imagine."

Representative Nancy Pelosi (D-CA) said Wednesday on MSNBC’s “The Last Word” that if former President Donald Trump wins the election in 2024, “our democracy, our flag, our Constitution, the future of our children” is at stake.
Anchor Lawrence O’Donnell said, “What are the stakes for the world when they hear Donald Trump say he would be a dictator on day one, if he is elected president again, and what do dictators like Vladimir Putin here in that statement?”

The director of Disney’s latest flop, The Marvels, Nia DaCosta, is blaming hateful sexist, misogynists for the massive box office failure.
What is probably really upsetting Ms. DaCosta is that more men than women bought tickets to the film. Women, like me, are not at all interested in paying for a film starring macho women.
No thanks, Disney. Real women like strong men, even fake ones portraying superheroes.
The more I read about the antics of the hysterical Karens or view the sickening videos of moronic exhibitionists on TikTok, the more convinced that I am a female chauvinist.
Gov. Gretchen Whitmer (D-MI) is ordering Michigan’s state fleet of vehicles to be 100 percent electric by 2040.
In a new directive Tuesday, Whitmer announced a move to bring the state’s fleet of vehicles down to zero greenhouse gas emissions in fewer than two decades. The goal, Whitmer wrote in the order, is “essential” for her administration’s green energy agenda.
Whitmer wrote in the directive: Michigan is on the cutting-edge of mobility and electrification. Our world-leading auto industry is making the switch to electric, and we continue to attract battery, semiconductor, and clean energy investments from other states and nations. We must usher the future of mobility and clean energy into Michigan
Earlier today Joe Biden threatened U.S. troop engagement with Russian troops if congress doesn’t provide further funding for Ukraine. As the premise is pushed, a failure to fund the Ukraine war means Russia will move beyond Ukraine into a NATO country. The premise is nonsense. WATCH: (video) White House – […] “Congress needs to pass supplemental funding for Ukraine before they break for the holiday recess. It’s as simple as that.
Frankly, I think it’s stunning that we’ve gotten to this point in the first place.
On Dec. 7, 1941, a surprise attack at the Pearl Harbor naval base in Hawaii would officially begin the United States' involvement in World War II.
That day, which President Franklin Roosevelt would notably call "a date which will live in infamy," is now recognized each year as National Pearl Harbor Remembrance Day.
According to the National Park Service, 2,403 service members and civilians were killed and another 1,178 people were injured in the attack. Two U.S. Navy battleships – the USS Arizona and the USS Utah – were also permanently sunk, and 188 aircraft were destroyed. Commemorations are held every year in Hawaii and across the country
The highest number of illegal immigrants in a single day crossed onto U.S. soil on Tuesday. More than 12,000 crossed the border that day.
In an interview Wednesday, DHS Secretary Mayorkas claimed that the border security measures congressional Republicans want to put into a foreign aid bill are “violence to our fundamental values.” What are these security measures that are so offensive to the man who lies that the southern border is closed and secured? They are “building a border wall, increasing the number of Border Patrol agents, limiting asylum, and narrowing Biden’s power to parole illegal immigrants.” Talk about bad timing. Americans are fed up with the Biden
Schindler’s List director Steven Spielberg has commented publicly for the first time about the October 7 Hamas terror attacks that killed 1,200 Israelis, saying he never imagined he would see “such unspeakable barbarity against Jews in my lifetime.”
Steven Spielberg’s comment appeared in a Friday announcement from the USC Shoah Foundation about a new campaign to record eyewitness testimony to the Hamas attacks.
“[Chairman] Rob Williams and the team at the USC Shoah Foundation are leading an effort that will ensure that the voices of survivors will act as a powerful tool to counter the dangerous rise of antisemitism and hate,” said Spielberg, who founded the organization in 1994.
America may be on the verge of World War III with the world’s largest nuclear power if the most influential conservative media figure is correct.
Tucker on Thursday afternoon dropped a bombshell that Bided Defense Secretary Lloyd Austin told Congressional members in a briefing Wednesday that if Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky does not receive more American taxpayer money for Ukraine, he said the Regime would send their relatives to fight Russia.
This is an open threat to start World War III.
Here is Tucker’s full shocking post:
The House voted to censure Rep. Jamaal Bowman for pulling the fire alarm during a vote to avert a government shutdown. The vote was 214 to 191, with five members voting 'present.'
Four Democrats, all on the Ethics Committee, voted 'present' - as is standard for ethics-related matters. Three Democrats voted to censure Bowman - Rep. Jahana Hayes, Conn., Chris Pappas, N.H., and Marie Gluesenkamp Perez, Wash.
One Republican voted against it: Rep. Andy Harris of Maryland.
Rep. Lisa McClain, R-Mich., forced a vote on the resolution this week by making it 'privileged.'
As President Trump continues to dominate the 2024 GOP presidential primaries, attention has turned to who he will pick as his running mate. Now, we have a list of names Trump and his team are reportedly considering, but a potential wild card lurks.
On Thursday, Axios published an extensive piece detailing the potential makeup of a Trump Cabinet in a second term. The 45th President and his team’s primary focus is ensuring all positions in government will be filled with people loyal to the America-first agenda and Trump.
As Gateway Pundit readers know, Trump’s first term was marred by disloyal RINOs and globalists seeking to sabotage him at every turn.
Elon Musk wants Bob Iger fired.
The X owner and erratic billionaire conspiracy theorist went on a rampage Thursday against the Disney chief executive, assailing Iger for the Magic Kingdom’s decision to pull advertisements from his imperiled social media platform, and declaring that Iger should be forcibly removed from his job.
“He should be fired immediately,” Musk, who often uses his influential perch to bully critics and others, wrote about Iger on the platform formerly known as Twitter. “Walt Disney is turning in his grave over what Bob has done to his company.” Representatives for Disney did not immediately respond to a request for comment. But Iger is widely credited for boosting

Ramaswamy Respond to Former Gov’s Newfound Popularity 15 replies
Ron DeSantis and Vivek Ramaswamy spent quite a bit of air time Wednesday evening zeroing in on Nikki Haley on an array of policy positions, suggesting a tacit acknowledgement from both candidates the former U.N. ambassador and South Carolina governor continues to enjoy some momentum among donors and in early state polls, even as Trump maintains a comfortable lead.
Drafting off of an opening question that focused on Haley’s lucrative relationship with wealthy donors and major corporations, Ramaswamy and DeSantis began the fourth GOP presidential debate in Tuscaloosa, Ala., arguing that the newly wealthy career politician is a poor fit for the current populist moment.

It sounds like he was sold out by rinos. He should have made them vote for the rules change though. Bad play coach. Very disappointed.
