Iran War Senate Oversight - Sen. Peters questions Hegseth and Caine on Iran war, defense spending

On Wednesday, the defense leaders appeared before House lawmakers, who questioned the defense leaders for the first time since the start of the war on Iran. Hegseth sparred with Democrats on the costs of the war and its ripple effects on Americans and the economy.

In this video, we break down the most intense moments from the hearing, including sharp exchanges over FBI staffing decisions, allegations of politically motivated firings, and concerns about how investigations connected to Donald Trump and January 6 were handled within the Bureau. Representative Schiff pressed Director Patel on accountability, transparency, and whether political loyalty is influencing personnel decisions inside federal law enforcement.

Senator Richard Blumenthal did not merely question Kash Patel; he issued an indictment. In a glaring clash over the integrity of federal law enforcement, the Connecticut Democrat dismantled Patel’s evasions regarding political retribution, bluntly informing the controversial figure that he had “failed [his] first test” of public trust. At the heart of Blumenthal's searing rebuke was a chilling implication: that Patel’s refusal to unequivocally guarantee the protection of rank-and-file FBI agents from partisan vengeance signals a dangerous willingness to weaponize the justice system. This was not a standard congressional sparring match over policy nuance; it was a fundamental collision over the rule of law, drawing a sharp, unyielding line between institutional accountability and the looming threat of a politicized purge.

In a Judiciary Subcommittee Hearing on the Weaponization of the Federal Government, Rep. Jasmine Crockett asks DOJ witnesses on Project 2025 plans to use the Justice Department to attack ordinary Americans.

Congresswoman Crockett revealed in a Oversight Hearing on June 26th, 2024 that former President Donald Trump and his family failed to disclose millions in income and hundreds of Chinese trademarks on his ethics filings.

Everyone now understands Donald Trump's MO. He has been the leader of distraction from the day he was born. He's not stopping that ploy ever. If Americans are not still too brainwashed or just flat out stupid and dumb, next time they vote in a general election they will vote PURPLE or BLUE, anything except RED.

President Trump announced Friday he is rescinding his endorsement of Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene (R-GA), calling her a 'lunatic', while the congresswoman countered that Trump was trying to make an example of her to prevent the release of files on convicted sex offender Jeffrey Epstein.
NO HE WOULDN'T CREATE ANOTHER DISTRACTION, WOULD HE?
