🧵 THREAD: The true reason Pete Hegseth is being targeted is because he’s standing between President Trump and a coup
@PeteHegseth named the institutions… CFR, Brookings, the general class… in 37 seconds in a video by @Liz_Wheeler. Within 72 hours of his nomination, a color revolution planning document cited him as an insider threat. They didn’t go after him because of drinking. They didn’t go after him because of women. They went after him because every color revolution manual ever written says the same thing: you cannot topple a government unless the security forces defect. And a loyal Secretary of Defense is the one person who makes sure they don’t. I have the receipts. Their own documents. Their own training sessions. Their own words on camera. As always, patience as I pull together the thread. 👇

Now he’s got a big hole in his cranium! 🙂
Lol. Excellent work.
Search for 11 missing nuclear scientists escalates as top lawmakers reveal NEW ’national security’ fears
Many of the individuals held top security clearances, granting them access to sensitive information on space missions, nuclear technology or advanced defense systems, prompting speculation about possible ‘sinister’ connections.

🚨Just in: Tucker Carlson says he regrets supporting Donald Trump for President in 2024
“I’ll be tormented for a long time by the fact that I played a role in getting Donald Trump elected. And I want to say that I’m sorry for misleading people.”
Cont…and video…
My response wouldn’t be allowed on these pages.
My response to Tucker is: FU A-hole.
During the 2023 Dominion trial it was revealed that on Jan 4, 2021 Tucker Carlson texted:
“We are very, very close to being able to ignore Trump most nights.”
“I truly can’t wait.”
“I hate him passionately.”
Yet, he supported Trump in 2024, even said he loved Trump.
I can’t explain the inner workings of Tucker’s mind. I think he did a lot of good in the past, but something has been off with him since he left Fox. He seems to be self destructing.
I think he was always a party establishment guy. Perhaps seeing the corruption of the deep state, our institutions, and the political establishment he connected to and was comfortable with has jusr been too much to bear and he is just lost. I don’t know. But, his antisemitism, defense of Sharia Law, and hatred of MAGA is hard to watch.
Noah’s Ark mystery deepens as underground tunnels found in Turkey mountain match Bible blueprint
Andrew Jones, an independent researcher with Noah’s Ark Scans, used ground-penetrating radar to uncover a network of ‘corridors’ converging on a hollow central chamber he dubbed the atrium.
Jones linked the discovery of the Bible’s description of the Ark, which states the boat contained three internal levels built to shelter Noah, his family and pairs of animals.
‘God told Noah to bring the animals in. And so these animals would have stayed there, plus Noah and his family,’ Jones told GB News.
‘What’s interesting is that these voids are lining up below the ground – and they’re not just random. These tunnels also follow a pattern. GPR is just a way to look below the soil using radar.’
He added further studies using infrared thermography (IRT), a heat-sensing technology that can uncover hidden structures underground, have also suggested the presence of a ship-shaped hull buried deep in the soil.

NEW DEVELOPMENTS:
U.S. forces seized the Iranian-flagged cargo ship Touska in the Gulf of Oman after it ignored hours of warnings and attempted to breach the Strait of Hormuz blockade.
The vessel had recently passed through Chinese ports and Southeast Asia, raising concerns over a China-linked supply route delivering suspected dual-use materials to Iran.
Despite rising tensions and clear warnings, the ship pressed on—suggesting the cargo was a high priority for Tehran. China criticized the interception, underscoring its continued ties to Iran even as the situation grows more volatile

Seized Iranian ship returns from China with missile building chemical. Tisk tisk.

The U.S. Supreme Court has consolidated two cases to be heard as one case; Link to listen to the audio arguments when it goes live at 10:00 in the morning east coast time:
https://www.supremecourt.gov/
that took seven attempts to simply post that above comment of one sentence with a link, but it appears posting a reply comment that bug doesn’t appear. knock on wood.
The cases consolidated are Federal Communications Commission vs AT&T with the question before the court on this one is “Whether the Communications Act provisions that govern the FCC’s assessment and enforcement of monetary forfeitures are consistent with the Seventh Amendment and Article III.”
The other case consolidated with the above one is Verizon Communications Inc. vs Federal Communications Commission and this is the question presented regarding this part of the consolidated case: “Whether the Communications Act violates the Seventh Amendment and Article III by authorizing the FCC to order the payment of monetary penalties for failing to reasonably safeguard customer data, without guaranteeing the defendant carrier a right to a jury trial.”
We are approaching day 8 of the U.S. naval blockade on Iran.
Estimated losses stand at roughly $435M per day, putting total damage near $3.4B so far. At that pace, once this stretches into double digits around the 14 day mark, the pressure starts compounding and it won’t be easy for the IRGC to absorb.
For context, a family of 4 in Tehran can live reasonably on about $1,500 per month. Everything paid.

The oil export $$ goes to support the IRGC since they own Iran’s oil industry.
Hilarious!!!
Iran’s lead negotiator Mohammad Bagher Ghalibaf tells Trump that ahead of negotiations, Tehran has spent the past 2 weeks preparing new “cards” on the battlefield
Footage has now leaked out that reportedly shows training for one of the IRGC’s capabilities that has yet to be used.

Has to be seen to be believed!
I hope Sec. Hegseth has a good plan to neutralize the Iranian small “fast boats” wrecking havoc in the Straits.
Guerilla warfare waged by small boats near shore is just as hard to fight as small guerilla units in urban settings.
Godspeed to the USN.
Why would those boats be any more difficult than the boats we have blown up in the Caribbean and Eastern Pacific?
Reaper drones flying in shifts should able to pick them off, or send coordinates to other aircraft orbiting the the areas most likely to hold them.
What about drones that swim?
Women are dropping left and right in Trump’s cabinet. It’s ironic that the one actually doing her job and doing it well was once a presidential candidate for the democrat party.

Why does it matter to you what their sex is? If they do a good job, like Tulsi, they stay. If they do a bad job, like Bondi, they go. Makes sense to me. The whole point should be hiring the most competent person for the job that you can find. Or do you prefer the DEI system of hiring idiots because they check communist boxes?
She said she didn’t consider that to be the Democrat Party it once was.
It would be interesting to find out if all the drugs that are sitting at the bottom of the Caribbean and the Eastern Pacific from the cartel boats being blown up have caused any kind of drug shortage in the US?
Reflections on Homeland Insecurity: The Strategic Anatomy of Civil Wars to Come

The Palestinian Authority paid salaries to convicted terrorists released under the October 2025 Gaza ceasefire deal between Israel and Hamas, according to a State Department report to Congress obtained by the Free Beacon. The report “marks the first U.S. government determination that the PA has ‘provided payments to convicted terrorists released from Israeli prisons in October 2025 under President Trump’s 20-point peace plan,’”
You cannot trust MUDSLIMES ABOUT ANYTHING

Democrats Have a Drinking Problem (But Not in a Good Way)
Swalwell’s not the only one. It’s time to seek help.
Joe Fitzgibbon
Hillary Clinton
Kamala Harris
Congresswoman Susie Lee
California governor Gavin Newsom
Jack Schlossberg
Swalwell’s devious escapades are in keeping with the Democratic tradition established by Schlossberg’s great uncle, Ted Kennedy, who suffered no consequences for driving his car off a bridge and killing Mary Jo Kopechne. Kennedy, who went on to serve in the U.S. Senate for four decades after the incident, is best known for making a “waitress sandwich” with former Sen. Chris Dodd (D., Conn.) during an alcohol-fueled romp in 1985.
Donald Trump, by contrast, has been a teetotaler his entire life.
Republicans have also faced allegations of problematic drinking, but these instances have typically involved behavior that most Americans would describe as fun, whereas Democrats seem to be abusing alcohol as a means to commit sexual crimes, cheat on their wives, endanger the lives of their fellow citizens, and illegally inebriate their barely-legal girlfriends.
