Ace sees Anti-American Operative Thomas Massie Demands Impeachment of Pete Hegseth; Pete Hegseth Blasts Him. "Massie's argument was that Pete Hegseth should be impeached for limiting lawyers' ability to veto operations or impose lethal restrictions on troops fighting for America." Stacy Lennox at PJM says I Don't Care If He's Mad. Thomas Massie Just Needs to Go Away and Vicky Taft hears Hegseth Brings Flamethrower to Massie's 'Farcical' Impeachment 'Sabotage.' Cynical Publius @CynicalPublius, "This is the truth. This is not about Hegseth. It's about cowing the men and women in uniform into not following lawful orders because they might wind up in Leavenworth. This is an extension of the Seditious Six ploy. This is about co-opting the one American institution that has remained true to the Constitution: the U.S. military. Hegseth stands between us and tyranny, which is why they hate him so and seek to destroy him." Quote DOW Rapid Response @DOWResponse, ".@SECWAR “MAKE NO MISTAKE ABOUT WHAT IS HAPPENING. This is not about me. Politicians in Washington have accused the sailors and pilots who struck narco-terrorist boats of WAR CRIMES for doing their job."

As a GWOT veteran I can’t. I listened to Massie drone through his articles of impeachment against Pete Hegseth and I recognized the sickness immediately. We fought under this ridiculous worldview during GWOT, and it cost us dearly. Massie is merely an acolyte of the bloodless bureaucratic religion that puts the lawyer in the center of the kill chain, treats every American use of force like a moral emergency, and somehow always finds more sympathy for the enemy being hunted than for the American sent to hunt him...."InfantryDort @infantrydort, "This is a phenomenon of late stage republics. It’s what happens when a society becomes so feminized and bureaucratized that it begins to fear the very qualities that once kept it alive. This is lawfare on the grandest scale.

Quote Tony Shaffer @tspooky, "In summary: the Impeachment of @SecWar is simply a form of Lawfare by formerly male, who's now @jamestalarico's favorite Trans @RepThomasMassie... Massie has crossed the line and become engaged in acting "under the color or law", and by definintion, engaged in sedition against the United States. There is zero legal basis for the action and all 8 of the articles are to the incoming @DemSocialists what fluffers do in a pornos...Massie is now supported by the extreme left anti-American group @codepink - that is funded by the CCP/PRC...@FBIDirectorKash needs to examine the elements required to prove Sedition and look at Massie's actions...

From Not the Bee, In order to best continue doing nothing, Senate Republicans reelect John Thune as Minority Leader.
On the House side, Speaker Johnson stepped down, and the party elected Jim Jordan to be the Minority Leader going forward in January. I like Jim Jordan, but I don't know about him being able to herd the cats; I've always thought of him as one of the cats. Ace, Mike Johnson Takes Accountability and Steps Down from House Leadership; Jim Jordan Elected to Replace Him "Mike Johnson did what McConnell's protege and butt-boy John Thune refuses to do: He stepped down from leadership. Jim Jordan was elected in his place. I'm not thrilled about that either, but at least someone demonstrated some accountability." His opponent was Steve Scalise, who I could see as SotH. Stephen Kruiser quips Jim Jordan May Have to Bring Back Dueling to Deal With GOP Senators. Cam Arcand at TownHall observes House Republicans Have a New Leader – and It's a Notable Shift. Sundance at CTH, Jim Jordan Becomes House Minority Leader in GOP Caucus Election.

Maybe they were celebrating that they were wrong. Then you have NYU Professor Scott Galloway. He went on stage and boasted to a crowd about taking a dump in the passenger seat of his own Tesla before selling it. I can guarantee Elon wasn’t hurt by that. The only people affected by his “protest” were whoever bought that car from him and whoever had to clean up that mess. And now, there’s incoming Texas governor Gina Hinojosa.

Trump Letter to Biden Revealed in Joe Biden Book At Althouse,
"Dear Joe, Coming to work every day in the Oval Office is a blessing beyond imagination. History resounds from every wall, every statue, every beautiful painting..." ""... and every corner of this magical place. Each staircase, hallway, and door leads to yet another door and memory, another inflection point in the glorious story of America. I hope you take a moment every single day to take stock of where you are and the people who came before you, the titans who shaped the course of human events. You now have the opportunity to choose your place in history, and I know you will be true to yourself and the American people. Many presidents have come and gone who simply governed as Republicans or Democrats. Largely, they did not change history, they were just swept along in its relentless tide. This will not happen to you because I know how much you love the American people...." Wrote Donald Trump, in the letter he left in the Oval Office for Joe Biden, quoted in
"'I Know How Much You Love the American People,' Trump Told Biden in 2021 Letter/The letter, which former President Joseph R. Biden Jr. details in a new book, is remarkable for a warm tone starkly at odds with his predecessor’s public comments" (NYT)."
