The O’Keefe Media Group on Wednesday released undercover video of a Defense Department Branch Chief attacking President Trump and Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth. Nicolas Turza, a Department of Defense Branch Chief, called President Trump “illegitimate” and vowed to “resist him, everything he does.” Turza also attacked Hegseth and said the 44-year-old is “insanely young” and unfit to lead. “The same guy who tried to overthrow an election is just, like, truly setting us down a path of dictatorship.

Crazy. That's why he should be fired. Simply psychologically unstable and delusional. We had an election. He didn't like the winner so the winner is illegitimate and must be "resisted". Total whack job.

Fire him and Susan Rice and the rest of the Defense Policy Board. The Democrats have loaded the government with advisory boards and agencies, all supposedly "independent" of the President. The Democrats have set themselves up so they cannot be fired, including their claims of civil servants, all nonsense. I am disappointed there have not been more firings of these lying hypocrites.

President Donald Trump’s administration has declared war on those who declared war on American citizens. After all, among other things, the Trump administration values freedom, security, merit, and health. And those who declared war on American citizens did so in part by attacking all of those things. Friday morning on the social media platform X, Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth responded to an alarming new report about the incidence of obesity among National Guard and Reserve troops by calling the situation “completely unacceptable” and pledging a new military made up of “FIT, not FAT” service members.

Democrats “spent the last 8 years stripping Americans of due process to jail them for protected political activity” and for “illegally spying on the Trump Campaign,” Miller said in a post on X. Democrats used the Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI) and the spy agencies “to pursue political enemies” and to launch “a coup” against President Donald Trump, Miller added.

Washington— Organizers and the Kennedy Center have canceled a week’s worth of events celebrating LGBTQ+ rights for this summer’s World Pride festival in Washington, D.C., amid a shift in priorities and the ousting of leadership at one of the nation’s premier cultural institutions. Multiple artists and producers involved in the center’s Tapestry of Pride schedule, which had been planned for June 5 to 8, told The Associated Press that their events had been quietly canceled or moved to other venues. And in the wake of the cancellations, Washington’s Capital Pride Alliance has disassociated itself from the Kennedy Center.

Here at American Thinker, we predicted that AOC is a real possibility as the 2028 Democrat party presidential candidate. Yesterday, AOC made it plain that she thinks so, too. AOC’s appeal to the left is obvious: She’s female, glib, telegenic, well-recognized, vaguely Hispanic, antisemitic, and a truly leftist ideologue. Bernie Sanders rightly sees her as the bridge between his old-fashioned class warfare and the new multi-culti warfare, both vehicles for the Marxist overthrow of the West. That’s why the two of them have been appearing in venues across America to rally the true believers.
