General John Kelly: "He said that, in his opinion, Mr. Trump met the definition of a fascist, would govern like a dictator if allowed, and had no understanding of the Constitution or the concept of rule of law."

President-elect Musk?

Elon Musk Is a National Security Risk 
By Russel L. HonorĂ© 
 Lt. Gen. HonorĂ© retired from the U.S. Army in 2008. 


 "Mr. Musk and his rocket company, SpaceX, face federal reviews from the Air Force, the Defense Department’s Office of Inspector General and the under secretary of defense for intelligence and security for failing to provide details of Mr. Musk’s meetings with foreign leaders and other potential violations of national-security rules. These alleged infractions are just the beginning of my worries. Mr. Musk’s business ventures are heavily reliant on China. He borrowed at least $1.4 billion from banks controlled by the Chinese government to help build Tesla’s Shanghai gigafactory, which was responsible for more than half of Tesla’s global deliveries in the third quarter of 2024. 

 China does not tend to give things away. The country’s laws stipulate that the Communist Party can demand intelligence from any company doing business in China, in exchange for participating in the country’s markets. This means Mr. Musk’s business dealings in China could require him to hand over sensitive classified information, learned either through his business interests or his proximity to President-elect Donald Trump. No federal agency has accused him of disclosing such material, but as Mr. Ramaswamy put it, China has recognized that U.S. companies are fickle. He added, “If Xi Jinping says ‘jump,’ they’ll say, ‘How high?’”

SATURDAY NIGHT MUSIC

 




THE MAGAverse still so incredibly unaware of their cult leader's Messianic desire to save the US and the world!

 

“THE URGE TO SAVE HUMANITY IS ALMOST ALWAYS A FALSE FRONT FOR THE URGE TO RULE IT”

If that isn’t what our Left has been doing, I don’t know what else describes it.  And they literally don’t get it.    The Left weaponizes compassion.

I think people are waking up to this stuff…DO YOU?




 




Together, we will SAVE THIS COUNTRY, we will restore the Republic, and we will usher in the rich and wonderful tomorrows that our people truly deserve. America’s future will be BIGGER, BETTER, BOLDER, BRIGHTER, HAPPIER, STRONGER, FREER, GREATER, and MORE UNITED than EVER BEFORE!






Musk calls MAGA element "contemptible fools" as virtual civil war brews.

 

Elon Musk condemned a segment of the MAGA movement as "contemptible fools" who should be purged from the Republican Party in a social media post Friday. 

 Why it matters: 

"A virtual right-wing civil war has broken out over race, class, immigration and the future of President-elect Trump's movement, and Musk is increasingly at odds with Trump's historic base. The schism may force Trump to ultimately take sides between the largely white, working-class supporters who first made MAGA succeed, and the techno-libertarian billionaires like Musk who are at the center of his new administration."







Also this:





Between Musk's threatening epithetical Tweet and Trump's hateful "GO TO HELL" Christmas message to America, it is safe to say that culturally and ethically America is entering a obscene  and witless era in politics, led by a short-fingered vulgarian (Trump) and a boorish and contemptible South African immigrant (Musk).
