Incredible. First @SecMullinDHS claimed that @DHSgov identified 15,903 noncitizens on Nevada’s voter roll. Then DHS officials said, no no no, that’s just people we flagged, here’s the names of 185 people we KNOW aren’t citizens. All 185 were citizens. DHS got 100% wrong.

The primary White House TV pool is made up of 5 networks: CBS, NBC, ABC, CNN, and FOX. We take turns covering POTUS for pooled events and trips, and then share footage with the other 4 plus other outlets. Today there is no tv pool, so Trump won’t have a crew with him at UNGA.

Members of both parties are once again frustrated with Pentagon policy chief Elbridge Colby’s answers. Things aren’t going well at a closed-door SASC briefing.

"The problem is now obviously far worse than we thought...." Wait till they start serving in the military: Tej Singh Gill (SEAL team 5). Famous (infamous) for getting into a bar fight w Chuck Liddell and Gan McGee. Walked away from both. Rob O'Neill's bodyguard. Akhil Iyer (Marine Special Ops/MARSOC) - Harvard MBA and Pat Tillman scholar Paresh Amin (3rd Special Forces Group) - from Navy Corpsman to Delta Force Medic. Simratpal Singh (Lt Col US Army) - West Point Grad, Ranger qualified, 180 combat missions, Bronze Star recipient. P.S. the author of the post was sued by the widow of Chris Kyle (American Sniper) for contractual and fiduciary breach. I have a few SEAL buddies that would love to have a piece of Bo French for that.
I heard UT graduation this year looked like this. I didn’t believe it. The problem is now obviously far worse than anyone imagined.

Not mentioned in this story are the abuse allegations (which he denies) at the center of Parnell's derailed Senate campaign, including that he choked his ex wife and injured their children. cnn.com/2021/11/09/politics/… cnn.com/2021/11/22/politics/…
Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth has told people close to him that Sean Parnell would be his top choice for secretary of the Army, several senior officials told @CBSNews. Parnell is currently chief Pentagon spokesperson and a former Army officer. "The DOW doesn’t comment on private conversations between administration officials," a spokesperson said. The White House is looking at names for a replacement for Army Secretary Dan Driscoll, who submitted his resignation after months of tension with Hegseth. White House Chief of Staff Susie Wiles is leading the process to name his successor. cbsnews.com/news/hegseth-fav…

I thank @SecArmy Dan Driscoll for his leadership to our Army and service to our country. Dan was the right man at the right moment to lead our Soldiers and Army civilians. Our understanding and assumptions of warfare are being challenged in places like Ukraine and Iran, and Dan understands the old way of doing business no longer applies. He and General George began a transformative period of innovation in how we array our forces and equip our Soldiers. He challenged our legacy approach to manning and procurement. Most of all, he cared deeply about the men and women in our Army formations and quickly earned their respect. If we had a @SecWar who maintained the same priorities and forward-thinking, he would be fighting to retain talented leaders like Dan and the many flag officers he has forced into retirement. Instead, he is creating a leadership void at the top of our military ranks. I served on Senate Armed Services for 8 years and as chair or ranking member of the Personnel and Readiness subcommittee. I have never witnessed more inept management of the brave men and women who serve our country. He is intimidated by competence and retreats to ginning up culture wars instead of soberly attending to the vital work of our national defense and the health and well-being of our fighting force. I urge the President to find a new leader at the Pentagon who will retain and empower our military talent rather than diminish it. cbsnews.com/news/military-le…

Mr Secretary, please stop embarrassing us. I served in Kandahar Afghanistan in 2009-2010 alongside Canadian Soldiers. They were skilled, courageous, and effective. We were lucky to be on the same side with them.
Sean Duffy on Canada: "It's a country that doesn't have a military ... they have record high euthanasia rates. And so to think that they're gonna go to war with Donald Trump and actually win that war with the US, I think it's foolish on their part."
Readers added context they thought people might want to know
Canada does have a military. The Canadian Armed Forces has over 67,000 regular force personnel. canada.ca/en/services/de… canada.ca/en/department-…

From a top reporter at Stars and Stripes. The Defense Dept also fired the publisher Max D. Lederer Jr., and editor-in-chief Erik Slavin for “insubordination” in other words for being part of a free press.
Today, I was informed that the Department of Defense is firing me for insubordination after I told a CBS reporter that I work for Stars and Stripes – not the Pentagon, not any administration, and not any policy maker.

I’m curious to what Defense Department directive the Pentagon is citing to which establishes a prior restraint on employees of Stars and Stripes?

Serving as the White House Press Secretary over the past year and a half has been the honor and adventure of a lifetime. I am incredibly grateful to President Trump for granting me so many extraordinary opportunities, such as working in the West Wing and spending countless hours in the Oval Office, flying around the world and meeting foreign leaders, and traveling across our beautiful country and meeting Americans from all walks of life. Most of all, I am thankful to the President for entrusting me with the distinct privilege of speaking on his behalf at the White House podium. I have spoken with great pride about the many historic accomplishments of this Administration, and I have relished holding the liberal media accountable and ensuring the American people hear the truth about President Trump’s successes. Being a mother and welcoming a new baby while working in one of the most demanding jobs in the world has been the most rewarding yet challenging season of my life, to say the least. The truth is since returning to the White House after the birth of my daughter, I have felt in my heart that I cannot be the best mom my two young children deserve while devoting the constant time, energy, and attention required of the White House Press Secretary — and that is why I have ultimately made the bittersweet decision to depart the White House and embark on a new chapter in my life. President Trump has asked me to continue serving as a top advisor to him on the outside, and I will always remain a vocal advocate for MAGA and the Republican Party. Our country is facing an existential threat from an increasingly extremist Democrat Party that seeks to destroy everything great about America, and I believe it is incumbent upon all of us who care about this country to fight back against that threat. My fight is entering a new phase, but it is far from over. Thank you again to the President, the First Lady, and the entire Trump family for your kindness and generosity over the years. Thank you to our amazing Chief of Staff Susie Wiles for empowering me since the day she hired me on the campaign, and to the President’s cabinet, my staff, colleagues, and friends at the White House who work so hard on behalf of our nation. It has been a privilege to serve alongside so many accomplished and impressive people, and I look forward to cheering them on over the next two and a half years. And of course, thank you most especially to my loving and supportive husband and family for the sacrifices they made for me to serve in this role. ♥️🇺🇸
