PANIC: Pete Hegseth's MOMMY comes out to BEG Trump

Pete Hegseth's nomination for Secretary of Defense is in trouble, prompting his mother, Penny, to make a public appeal on Fox News, urging President Trump to support her son. Despite past accusations of abuse, Penny insists that Pete, now 44, is a changed man compared to the person he was at 37. It's rather unusual for a mother to be the one defending her adult son's qualifications for such a high-level position, especially on public airwaves. Critics question whether her defense can be enough to secure his appointment, given the mounting opposition to it.

OOPS: Video of Pete Hegseth TRASHING TRUMP resurfaces

Meanwhile, rumors swirl about potential replacements, including Ron DeSantis and Joni Ernst.

As Trump prepares for his second presidency, Starmer’s stance highlights the UK’s challenge in balancing partnerships amid Trump’s antagonistic approach to global diplomacy.

OOPS: Director admits election fraud movie was BOGUS

Dinesh D’Souza, director of the widely debunked film 2000 Mules, has admitted to significant flaws in its geolocation data while continuing to defend its claims of voter fraud. The film’s central premise—that ballot drop boxes facilitated fraud—has been thoroughly discredited by experts, with evidence showing the data was inaccurate and the surveillance videos depicted no illegal activity. Despite this admission, the documentary will continue to deceive Trump supporters who don’t believe the results of the 2020 election.
