Watch this video.
Not just that. But the impeachment articles are about executing "unlawful orders."
But who issued these unlawful orders in the first place?
President Trump.
Why would Senate Republicans vote to remove Hegseth from office, but somehow not President Trump? It doesn't make sense.
Not only that, but even establishing a precedent for punishing "unlawful orders" is going to cause mass confusion inside the military and cause security defections.

🚨 I call on Gov. Abbott to IMMEDIATELY convene a special session to REIN IN EXECUTIVE EMERGENCY POWERS… before Gina Hinojosa is sworn in!
Republicans lost last night, but Democrats were not sworn in.
We still have total power in Texas, and we must act like it by using the remaining ten weeks to restore separation of powers and limit the emergency powers that Governor-Elect Hinojosa is set to inherit, which would allow her to destroy liberty in Texas by executive fiat.
I’ve warned since I was first elected that NO governor, Republican or Democrat, should have unchecked emergency powers!
Now that Texas has elected a Democrat Governor, the urgency is undeniable… and inaction is intolerable.
Without action, Governor Hinojosa will inherit the powers of a DICTATOR.
Due to the absurd (and almost certainly unconstitutional) Texas emergency powers laws, Gov. Hinojosa will literally have the power to modify laws, ignore laws, or create and enforce laws – including criminal laws – on a whim!
Today is a day for ACTION, and bold leadership.
The Texas Legislature must immediately pass, and Governor Abbott must sign, legislation like HB911, which I filed in 2022 and warned at the time, that “Never ending emergency powers are antithetical to representative government and render people powerless. Legislative bodies allowing a single executive branch official to both write and enforce laws is the biggest threat to our constitutional system of divided government and should be opposed irrespective of which political party runs the executive branch.”
My legislation would protect liberty from executive fiat by, among other things, taking the following actions:
1. Prohibit the Governor from suspending or modifying statutes
2. Sunset emergency orders in 30 days if the legislature does not ratify the order
3. Prohibit the governor from reissuing emergency orders that expired or the legislature rejected
4. Require emergency orders to be narrowly tailored
5. Subject emergency orders to expedited judicial review
We have TEN WEEKS LEFT to protect Texas from near total Democrat rule.
I encourage every elected Republican in Texas to join my demand for Gov. Abbott to call a special session.
The future of liberty in America is literally on the line in Texas, and Texans deserve leadership that acts accordingly.

The standard deduction for married people should be 125,000 and 50,000 for single.
Do this, declare victory over Iran, and introduce a new amendment to the constitution eliminating all corporate money from politics.
We would have an economic boom, a baby boom, and Trump will go down as an absolute Mount Rushmore president by being the person that eliminated corporate money from politics!
THE IRS JUST RELEASED THE NEW 2027 🇺🇸 TAX BRACKETS. HERE'S HOW THEY WORK IN PLAIN ENGLISH
Every bracket got a little bigger to keep up with inflation, so you can earn a bit more before moving into a higher rate.
Step 1: Take what you earn and subtract the standard deduction. That part isn't taxed at all.
- Single: $16,600
- Married: $33,200
Step 2: Whatever's left gets taxed in layers.
Single filers:
- 10% on your first $12,800
- 12% on income up to $52,025
- 22% up to $109,125
- 24% up to $208,325
- 32% up to $264,550
- 35% up to $661,375
- 37% on anything above that
Married couples: the cutoffs are roughly double ($25,600, $104,050, $218,250, $416,650, $529,100, $793,650).
Example: You're single and earn $76,600. Subtract $16,600 and you're taxed on $60,000.
- 10% on the first $12,800 = $1,280
- 12% on the next $39,225 = $4,707
- 22% on the last $7,975 = $1,755
Total: about $7,742 in federal income tax, or roughly 10% of what you earned.
Even though you're "in" the 22% bracket, only your last $7,975 gets taxed at 22%.

🚨🚨 THE DEMOCRACY FILES / THE INSURRECTION PLAYBOOK, SPECIAL EDITION: ON CROSSING THE RUBICON 🚨
Many people on 𝕏 are calling for elections to not to be certified, or for Trump to not to seat the new Congress on January 3rd.
In a sense, attributing 2026 results to cheating is too narrow of a way to look at a much larger and a much worse problem.
The problem isn't that machines decided to flip 15% of Republican votes and stole the 2026 midterms from us.
The problem is that our elections are untransparent, monopolized by mysterious NGOs, and set up institutionally such that they are impossible to challenge or audit honestly.
I wrote a book, UNELECTED. It lays out the whole NGO Administrative Complex and how they have monopolized virtually every facet of our ordinary society and perform functions through, above, and despite Congress. This is what they do. They cut off every single plausible path to their own reform.
The last two chapters explain my remedy, but I do not believe these chapters are easily approached without reading the other 300+ pages first. And I've had fans compare it to "A Brief History of Time" in complexity ... while I wouldn't go that far, it is an enormous problem with an enormous network that developed over an enormous amount of time.
The good news is that our anger at finding out about this, and our lashing out at all this is the epistemic bubble popping. Regimes don't last long after that.
The bad news is - to borrow a phrase my friend uses - there are many ways to lose, and few ways to preserve our Republic.
I'm not here to tell you that President Trump shouldn't use the 2026 elections to force a showdown.
I'm here to tell you what happens if he does. If he goes down this route, he better treat it like crossing the Rubicon.
Pray for peace and wisdom for the administration as they deal with the many difficult decisions ahead.
Watch the video with an open mind and heart.

This is one of the most Powerful podcasts I’ve ever heard.
Trump has already fired Susie Wiles. Hope he takes immediate action on these other steps. Especially regarding corruption & removing corporate money from politics.
Propose a Constitutional Amendment & hold all parties to the fire!

There’s a revolution happening in the Trump administration right now.
I am shocked about who I am hearing from - senior leaders throughout the government who are ready to take off the shackles and get BIG things done for the American people - which is what @StephenM and @POTUS want.
I can’t stress this enough: some of President Trump and RFK’s strongest campaign promises deal with institutional reform that democrats ran on too - not innately partisan issues.
Don’t let the media talk us down. We can get BIG things done in the next year - and Americans want that.

Armies that win have the general at the front lines. Nobody wants to bleed for the prince in the palace.
Ron Baron asked Elon Musk how many CEOs live on site in an Airstream and work hands-on with everyone.
MUSK: “Airstreams are actually pretty nice... It’s parked right next to the power plant.”
“We built this power plant that’s producing over a gigawatt... in about a year, as opposed to normally about five years.”
“There is no upstairs.”
He walks the entire site up to five times a day. He’s pulled power cables “the size of an anaconda,” run fiber, wired switches, and worked on the power plant software.
“I try to do at least a little bit of everything, so that I’m not numb to the pain of the people who are actually doing it.”
“It’s not as though I’m sitting in an office and somebody has to come to me. I’m walking the floor, asking them questions actively.”
There’s a reason SpaceX is winning the compute race.

Stephen Miller: “President Trump took a bullet for you. He bled for you. He faced life in prison for you. And what he needs from you tomorrow is your vote.”
“Your vote to keep producing American energy… to keep our borders secure… to keep violent crime and murder at all time record lows… men out of women’s sports… DEI out of our universities… to keep taxes low… to keep the American Dream alive.”
“The Democrat Party has said they don’t want moderates, they don’t want centrists… they do want extremist, pro-jihad America hating, 9/11 supporting monsters like Hasan Piker.”
