Susan Rice Throws a Tantrum
Posted By: Dreadnought, 4/26/2025 6:04:12 PM
Susan Rice got fired the other day by Pete Hegseth. As a member of the Pentagon's Defense Policy Board Advisory Committee for the last two years, she was canned along with a number of others because the DOD Director decided that their services were no longer needed. Rice, a long-time government employee and ally of the Obama-Biden kabal, wasted no time in going on both social media and MSNBC to whine and stomp her feet. Calling Hegseth "dumb as a rock," Rice said: Well, if you’re a white male Christian cisgender macho MAGA man, you can be as dumb as a rock

Biden’s Decline: ‘We Should Have Done Better’ 33 replies
While accepting an award at the White House Correspondents’ Dinner on Saturday, Axios reporter Alex Thompson acknowledged that he and other members of the mainstream media failed to properly report on President Biden’s declining mental acuity.
“Being truth tellers also means telling the truth about ourselves,” Thompson said as he accepted the Aldo Beckman Award for Overall Excellence in White House Coverage. “We, myself included, missed a lot of this story.”
“President Biden’s decline and its cover-up by the people around him is a reminder that every White House, regardless of party, is capable of deception,” he added.
“Some people trust us less because of it,”
At least 11 people are confirmed dead — including “very young people” — after a crazed driver sped an SUV through revelers at a Vancouver block party, officials confirmed.
The suspect — a still unidentified 30-year-old man from Vancouver — was “known” to law enforcement after a “significant” history with police interactions, and was also well known to health-care professionals related to mental health,” interim Vancouver Police Chief Steve Rai told reporters Sunday. In addition to the dead, dozens more are injured after the Saturday attack at the celebration for Filipino Lapu Lapu Day, and police cautioned that more victims could succumb to their injuries.
The Columbia University janitors who were held hostage during the violent takeover of a campus building last spring are suing their alleged captors for battery, assault, and conspiracy to violate their civil rights, according to a copy of the suit reviewed exclusively by The Free Press.
The lawsuit was filed in federal court on Friday evening by Torridon Law and the Louis D. Brandeis Center for Human Rights Under Law on behalf of Columbia janitors Mario Torres and Lester Wilson. It alleges that over 40 Columbia students and “outside agitators,” some but not all of whom

At least eight people have been killed and 750 injured in a massive explosion at one of Iran's key ports, authorities say.
The blast took place at Shahid Rajaee, the country's largest commercial port, near the southern city of Bandar Abbas on Saturday morning.
It blew out windows and roofs of nearby buildings and destroyed cars. Residents reported feeling the impact of the blast up to 50km (31 miles) away.
Videos verified by the BBC show a fire growing in intensity before a huge explosion, with people subsequently fleeing the blast and others lying wounded on roads surrounded by smoking debris.
President Donald Trump and his wife, Melania, joined other world leaders on Saturday in paying respects to Pope Francis, who passed away on Easter Monday at age 88 after a series of health complications hospitalized him for weeks.
The pope’s funeral mass was held in Rome’s St. Peter’s Square, followed by a private burial at the St. Mary Major Basilica. Over 250,000 mourners gathered to view Pope Francis’s body over the course of three days in St. Peter’s Basilica before Saturday’s funeral, the Vatican said. His coffin was sealed on Friday.
The Vatican confirmed 164 delegations, including 54 heads of state and twelve monarchs, were in attendance.
Ashley Rindsberg, from whose stories I have riffed on before, has a great piece in Spectator Magazine about the COVID cover-up that adds a new twist.
Anthony Fauci, through a Harvard University intermediary, helped funnel money from the Chinese property company Evergrande to Harvard in February 2020. And that contribution was, quite surprisingly, part of a backdoor effort on the part of the Chinese to communicate with and influence Fauci and America's COVID response. On the morning of Sunday February 2, 2020, Anthony Fauci, then in the middle of putting together America’s pandemic response, received an unusual email with a highly unusual request.
President Trump continues to assail the once-unassailable status quo on civil rights. The behemoth of federal civil rights laws may originate with the Civil Rights Act of 1964, but far too much of it has been invented by administrative agencies and courts. That should end — and it is a fight worth having.
The shift of a significant number of non-white voters into Trump’s coalition in 2024 can be read in many ways, but clearly one driver was the exhaustion of long-standing Democratic appeals to race-conscious remedies, premised as so many of them are on group identity and the notion that every disparity among groups in society reflects a deep conspiracy
New Syrian President Ahmed al-Sharaa said that Damascus seeks to normalize ties with Israel, US Congressman Cory Mills told Bloomberg on Thursday after a meeting with him last week in Syria.
Mills said he held talks with Sharaa about the conditions for removing US-imposed economic sanctions, as well as the possibility of peace with Israel, according to the report.
Sharaa told Mills during their meeting that Syria is interested “under the right conditions” in joining the Abraham Accords — the series of normalization agreements that US President Donald Trump’s previous administration negotiated between Israel and the United Arab Emirates, Bahrain and Morocco.
Yesterday, President Trump signed an executive order titled "Restoring Equality of Opportunity and Meritocracy." The basic point of this is to undermine what is known as disparate-impact theory. Here's how the executive order describes it.
A bedrock principle of the United States is that all citizens are treated equally under the law. This principle guarantees equality of opportunity, not equal outcomes. It promises that people are treated as individuals, not components of a particular race or group. It encourages meritocracy and a colorblind society, not race- or sex-based favoritism. Adherence to this principle is essential to creating opportunity, encouraging achievement, and sustaining the American Dream.
The circle of top advisers in Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth’s orbit has shrunk in recent days to little more than his wife, lawyer, and two lower-level officials — leaving the Pentagon’s lead office without longtime expertise or clear direction.
Hegseth’s decision to fire three senior aides last week and reassign his chief of staff has blown a hole in his leadership team, severing essential lines of communication across the department and leading to fears about dangerous slip-ups such as weapons program delays.
The wholesale turnover just 100 days into Hegseth’s tenure has been remarkable for its speed. And it has left the first-time government official without trusted staff who understand Washington

WASHINGTON (AP) — Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth had an internet connection that bypassed the Pentagon’s security protocols set up in his office to use the Signal messaging app on a personal computer, two people familiar with the line told The Associated Press.
The existence of the unsecured internet connection is the latest revelation about Hegseth’s use of the unclassified app and raises the possibility that sensitive defense information could have been put at risk of potential hacking or surveillance.
Known as a “dirty” internet line by the IT industry, it connects directly to the public internet where the user’s information and the websites

Even as talks progress and President Donald Trump says there is hope for a deal, Ukraine’s President Volodymyr Zelensky made clear he rejects President Donald Trump’s proposal to recognise Russia’s occupation of Crimea as a price of peace, saying the Ukrainian constitution calls for nothing less than absolute victory.
This week, President Donald Trump said in interview with Time Magazine that one of the ultimate outcomes of the war will be that “Crimea will stay with Russia”, and later that a deal was close, with Ukraine and Russia needing now to meet in person in negotiations for the first time to “finish it off”.

New details about the fatal helicopter-plane crash near DC’s Reagan Airport reveal the female pilot was repeatedly ignored warnings from her male co-pilot to turn away but she flew right into the passenger jet.
An American Airlines flight carrying approximately 64 souls collided with a Blackhawk helicopter near Washington D.C. Reagan National Airport (DCA) in late January.
All 64 passengers in the jet were killed.
The three pilots in the Blackhawk helicopter also died in the explosive crash.
A preliminary FAA report indicated that staffing at the DCA Air Traffic Control tower was “not normal” at the time of the helicopter-plane collision.
According to NBC News, at the time of the collision,
Former Obama Attorney General Eric Holder criticized FBI Director Kash Patel for posting a photo of Milwaukee Judge Hannah Dugan in handcuffs Friday after she was arrested on federal charges for obstructing ICE efforts to arrest an illegal alien outside her courtroom April 18. Patel posted the photo of the back of Dugan with her hands in cuffs as she was being led away by FBI agents with the message, “No one is above the law.”
Holder accused Patel trying to “trying to maximize intimidation” by violating a Justice Department rule established by Holder restricting the release of photos of federal defendants.
House Republican leaders are considering making some of the key tax benefits that President Donald Trump promised on the 2024 campaign trail only temporary policies in the reconciliation bill that's currently being crafted. A "sunset" period of four years is under consideration for policies such as eliminating taxes on tips, Social Security benefits and overtime pay, Just the News has learned.
The move has drawn criticism from a budget watchdog group, the Committee for a Responsible Federal Budget, which has described the possibility of scoring certain tax benefits as temporary rather than permanent to estimate the full cost of the package as "manipulation" that wouldn't show the true cost.

Journalist Sharyl Attkisson shared a study on COVID-19 deaths, and things are not as they seem.
Conservative skeptics were calling for an audit into COVID deaths from the very beginning, certain that things weren’t quite adding up. It was an unpopular position at the time, as the rest of the world was still reeling from the fear and uncertainty of a global pandemic.
Now that we are several years removed, people are finally looking into exactly how COVID deaths were categorized in Greece. [Tweet]
A study published in Scientific Reports reveals that “[i]n Greek hospitals, all deaths with a positive SARS-CoV-2 test are counted as COVID-19 deaths,”
On Sunday, during an appearance on CNN’s “State of the Union,” Senate Minority Leader Chuck Schumer (D-NY) did not rule out impeaching President Donald Trump if Democrats take control of Congress.
Host Dana Bash said, “Your colleague from Georgia, Senator Jon Ossoff told voters at a town hall that he strongly agrees that President Trump should be impeached. Do you agree with him? Would that be a priority if Democrats were to take back Congress?”

Another week where America turns its attention to a rotten judiciary which is fast erasing any respect we once had for it.
As the prior outrageous injunctions by numbers of (judge shopped) District Courts make their way up the judicial ladder, even more of them were issued this week. I think everything the President has done is the object of at least one District Court injunction. In the meantime, corruption of the judiciary has become so overt that two judges were placed under arrest this week.
The case that particularly caught my attention this week unsurprisingly is once again from the District of Columbia.
Racist wackjob Joy Reid recently went on a racist rant, crediting White people for the fall of Rome, suggesting that Whites will be responsible for the United States’ collapse, and embracing Great Replacement.
Someone should tell Reid, who apparently flunked history class, that the fall of the Roman Empire had several causes, none of them being a lack of diversity. One cause, however, is believed to be non-citizens, their inability to assimilate into Roman culture, and Rome’s DEI policies that welcomed immigrants to serve in the military.
House minority leader Hakeem Jeffries was in Denmark yesterday trashing the United States. It’s a new America since Barack Obama where our own officials travel abroad to undermine our government.
He insulted President Trump’s efforts to make tariffs fair, and presented Democrats as the only ones standing up for American values. He suggested everyone is upset with the President’s agenda. It didn’t stop there.
“We’re dealing with a very, different America. We’re dealing with constituents who are understandably concerned at the unprecedented events that we’ve seen unfold,” Jeffries said. He is undermining President Trump’s efforts to get trade deals.
State governments refusing to cooperate with federal law enforcement in enforcing immigration law because they reject the idea is an insurrection. And it ought to be treated like one. Whether it’s Gov. Newsom in California or Gov. Evers in Wisconsin, state governors ordering employees to obstruct ICE is a Fort Sumter moment.
The State of Wisconsin guidance to “state employees encountering ICE or other federal agents at their workplace” tells them to ask for their budgets, tell them to sit in a “public area” , not allow them to “enter into a non-public area” and to refuse to cooperate without contacting a lawyer.
Gov. Evers’s directive warns state employees
Former President Barack Obama was spotted going out to dinner with his daughters in Los Angeles on Saturday night — but former first lady Michele Obama was nowhere to be found as rumors of marriage problems continue to swirl. (Photo) Obama, 63, with daughters Sasha, 23, and Malia, 26, broke bread at upscale Japanese restaurant Hamasaku on Santa Monica Boulevard, which has been a favorite of the family since at least 2022, according to images of the dinner.
