(Excerpt only.)
President-elect Donald Trump’s nominee for Secretary of Defense, Pete Hegseth, has reportedly garnered sufficient support for Senate confirmation.
Hegseth, a decorated Army veteran and former Fox News host, has been a steadfast advocate for strengthening America’s defense capabilities and eliminating progressive policies that have weakened military effectiveness.
However, shortly after his nomination, allegations emerged accusing Hegseth of past misconduct.
He has been accused of a 2017 sexual assault—a claim he vehemently denies.
His attorney, Timothy Parlatore, asserts that the encounter was consensual and that Hegseth only agreed to a financial settlement to protect his career from unfounded accusations.
Notably, no charges were filed, and the case was closed without further action.
Despite the lack of credible evidence, some Senate Republicans have expressed hesitation regarding Hegseth’s nomination.
Senator Lindsey Graham described the allegations as “very disturbing,” while Senator Joni Ernst, herself a survivor of sexual assault, has pledged a “thorough vetting” of Hegseth.
In response to concerns about his past alcohol consumption, Hegseth has pledged to abstain from drinking if confirmed as Secretary of Defense, according to The Hill.
Hegseth has engaged in extensive discussions with Republican senators to address concerns.

TO THE VICTORS THE SPOILS: After the ‘Coalition of Losers’ Fails in Austria, Political Establishment Will Have to Allow Most-Voted Right-Wing ‘Freedom Party’ To Form a Government

Now that right-wingers are gaining ground all over Europe, the liberal-Globalist forces have resorted to ‘firewall’ tactics where all parties refuse to negotiate with the surging right for the formation of governments.
These firewall tactics have been used in France, the Netherlands, Germany, and Austria.
It arose today that Vienna is headed towards coalition talks led by the ‘far-right’ Freedom Party (FPO) after efforts to form a centrist government ‘firewalling’ the FPO fell apart and prompted Chancellor Karl Nehammer to resign.
Reuters reported:
“Nehammer, who announced he was quitting late on Saturday, had led three- and then two-party talks aimed at forging a centrist coalition that could serve as a bulwark against the Eurosceptic, Russia-friendly FPO, which came first in September’s parliamentary election with around 29% of the vote.”

As we see, all over the world they call the anti-Globalist by the same names: ‘far-right’, pro-Russia…
But now something BIG has changed, as new OVP leader Christian Stocker changed his tune over FPO leader Herbert Kickl in a meaningful manner.
“’I expect that the leader of the party with the most votes will be tasked with forming a future government. If we are invited to these (coalition) talks, we will accept this invitation’, Stocker told reporters. ‘It is therefore not about Herbert Kickl or me, but about the fact that this country needs a stable government right now’.”

Canadian Parliamentary Committee Will Convene Early January During Recess To Speed-up Vote of No-Confidence Expected to Defeat Liberal Prime Minister Justin Trudeau
THE END IS NEAR: Canada’s Justin Trudeau on the Brink as His Own Liberal Caucus Calls on Him to Resign
And while the upcoming Donald J. Trump arrival did play a part, Trudeau was ready to fall by himself, with the latest polling from Canada suggesting his Liberal Party would win just six seats if an election were held today (and lose 154 seats!), while the Conservative Party would win more than 240 (with 122 new seats).
Reuters reported:
“Canadian Prime Minister Justin Trudeau is expected to announce as early as Monday that he will resign as Liberal Party Leader,” The Globe and Mail reported on Sunday, citing three sources.
The sources told the Globe and Mail that they don’t know definitely when Trudeau will announce his plans to leave but said they expect it will happen before a key national caucus meeting on Wednesday.
Whether Trudeau will leave office immediately or stay on until a new leader is selected is anybody’s guess.

White Hats Arrest ANTIFA Militants in DC
Michael Baxter, Real Raw News, January 5, 2025
(https://realrawnews.com/2025/01/white-hats-arrest-antifa-militants-in-dc/)
White Hats in D.C. have arrested 25 ANTIFA activists who had come to the nation’s crooked [bias] Capitol to disrupt tomorrow’s electoral vote certification but wound up at a JAG internment facility instead, a source in General Eric M. Smith’s office told Real Raw News.
In preparation for the electoral certification and Trump’s January 20 inauguration, White Hats have deployed a massive task force comprised of Marines, Army Rangers, and JAG and Army Criminal Investigation Division (CID) agents in hopes of stopping liberal malcontents from interfering with Trump’s installation as president.
Our source said agencies including U.S. Army Cyber Command and Marine Corps Forces Cyberspace Command began hearing “chatter” last month suggesting that ANTIFA and Black Lives Matters (BLM) agitators posing as “Republicans opposing Trump and Musk” planned to launch tear gas canisters on the steps to the Capitol on January 6. He noted that although ANTIFA hasn’t made news in years, the decentralized group of political fanatics has operated in secrecy and recruited tens of thousands of new members since 2021.
Moreover, ANTIFA has adopted a more violent stance and has become unpredictable.
“We know for fact that on January 6, 2021, it was ANTIFA and feds dressed like Trump supporters that instigated the so-called insurrection. They were the first ones breaking and climbing through windows and scaling walls. Now ANTIFA, and they call themselves pacifists, what a joke, are buying up guns like crazy, and this started right after Trump destroyed Harris in the election.
“We also know that certain ANTIFA sects have been playing war games in the woods, like playing Rambo and [shzt]. Guns in their hands is a damn frightening thought to comprehend. So, when we heard they were bussing people into D.C. from across the country, we acted,” our source said.
He added that the White Hat task force identified a dozen ANTIFA insurgents quite quickly.
“The same ANTIFA that smashed windows in 2021 are back in D.C. again. Funny that none of them ever got charged or saw the inside of a courtroom. Thanks to facial recognition tech, we identified 12 staying at the same hotel,” our source said.
Plainclothes CID agents, he said, swooped in on the dozen Thursday evening after the ANTIFA zealots had finished dining and conspiring at the La Grande Boucherie restaurant. The agents searched vehicles ANTIFA had rented, and they found several 40mm tactical 4-shot tear gas launchers and hundreds of tear gas canisters. They also found 134 publicly available CTS flash-bang and sting-ball grenades, as well as smoke and pyrotechnic grenades. In one trunk they uncovered three pricey SPAS-12 shotguns and 600 12-gauge shells.
When confronted by CID, the suspects denied ties to ANTIFA, insisting they were “loyal Republicans” who revered people such as Mitt Romney and John McCain but despised fake Republicans like Musk and Trump for usurping, coopting, and appropriating the Republican party for nefarious reasons. They said there was no law against being anti-MAGA and that the FBI and Capitol Police had approved their “permit to protest peaceably.”
CID, our source said, discovered quickly that two of the twelve ANTIFA were FBI informants with sordid histories of taking part in acts of civil disobedience; both, on May 29, 2020, had incited violence at a George Floyd protest in Bellingham, Washington.
The CID agents seized the activists’ arsenal and escorted them to a makeshift holding facility the military had erected close to 1600 Pennsylvania Avenue. There, under interrogation (waterboarding), [GAoG does not support waterboarding] three admitted they were part of an ANTIFA militia dedicated to destroying “President Musk and Vice President Trump” and gave up the names of 13 other ANTIFA/BLM members also in D.C. to create havoc.
CID passed that info to Gen. Smith’s Marines, who then located and apprehended a baker’s dozen revolutionaries across the District of Columbia. One ANTIFA militant reportedly told the Marines, “We are legion. You can’t get us all.”
Our source said the Marines confiscated dozens more firearms, tear gas devices, and three IEDs from the would-be insurgents.
“We have a strong presence there now, and we’re kicking the feds out. Make no mistake, the military is in charge,” our source said.
