Pituffik Space Base commander Space Force Col. Susannah (Susan) Meyers was relieved of command Thursday after a report by Military.com that she had sent a base-wide email to personnel at the Greenland base after a recent visit by Vice President J.D. Vance distancing herself from President Trump’s national security policy on Greenland. Meyers had assumed command last July of the 821st Space Base Group at Pituffik.

Pentagon spokesman Sean Parnell posted the announcement by Space Force of Meyers being relieved of command within hours of the report by Military.com.

Parnell: “Actions to undermine the chain of command or to subvert President Trump’s agenda will not be tolerated at the Department of Defense.”

Excerpt from the Military.com report on Meyers’ email:

Col. Susan Meyers, the commander of the 821st Space Base Group who also oversees the Pentagon’s northernmost military base, sent a March 31 message to all personnel at Pituffik seemingly aimed at generating unity among the airmen and Guardians, as well as the Canadians, Danes and Greenlanders who work there, following Vance’s appearance. She wrote that she “spent the weekend thinking about Friday’s visit — the actions taken, the words spoken, and how it must have affected each of you.”

“I do not presume to understand current politics, but what I do know is the concerns of the U.S. administration discussed by Vice President Vance on Friday are not reflective of Pituffik Space Base,” Meyers wrote in the email, which was communicated to Military.com.

…”I commit that, for as long as I am lucky enough to lead this base, all of our flags will fly proudly — together,” Meyers’ email message to the base read.

…Department of Defense Chief of Staff Joe Kasper told Military.com in an emailed statement that “civilian control of the military is a bedrock principle of our armed forces. Actions to undermine the chain of command or to subvert President Trump’s agenda will not be tolerated at the Defense Department.”

The quick firing of Meyers follows the firing of another senior officer, Vice Admiral Shoshana Chatfield, who was relieved of her post as U.S. Military Representative to the NATO Military Committee in Brussels, Belgium earlier this week, reportedly over not hanging portraits of the new civilian leadership, President Trump, Vice President Vance and Secretary of Defense Pete Hegseth.

Congresswoman, I realize this may be a foreign concept to you but here at the DoD if you disrespect the chain of command & don’t do your job, you will be replaced.

Period. https://t.co/HrtUpI9Owc

Dillon Herrington, a 31-year-old from Alabama, urgently needs your help. Unlike many January 6th defendants who have celebrated recent pardons, Dillon remains trapped behind bars, entangled in a heartbreaking situation that cries out for justice. 

Herrington served in the U.S. Army and dreamt of becoming an Army Ranger. His basic training was completed at Fort Benning, Ga before he was shipped out to Germany where his service continued. After a deployment to Lithuania, Herrington continued his training to become an Army Ranger when during a “Midnight Trek” he ripped the tendons in his knee and was told he would never be able to jump from a plane. With his dreams crushed he was discharged after just 17 months of service. Unfortunately, Dillon’s life would not look anything like what he planned for it to be, and it would only get worse.

While deployed in Lithuania, Herrington reaches out to his mom.

 

According to sources close to Dillon, it began as an ordinary night at a local pub in Athens, Alabama. Dillon and a friend were enjoying a casual evening, playing pool and sharing laughs, never imagining it would become a nightmare. Multiple witnesses have stated that a young woman appeared to pursue Dillon throughout the night, openly expressing romantic intentions and repeatedly approaching him. It is reported that eventually, she was said to have asked Dillon for a ride home, stating her friends had left her stranded. 

Witness accounts suggest the woman actively engaged Dillon, allegedly even attempting to remove her clothing on the way to his vehicle. Dillon, admittedly affected by alcohol—a scenario described by sources as simply “beer goggles”—agreed to get her home safely. Questionable to her narrative, after the romantic parking lot interlude, Dillon got her home and stayed overnight at the family home without her raising any alarms to her parents. 

According to the information provided, the following morning, Dillon respectfully introduced himself to the woman’s father over coffee, exchanging friendly conversation before departing. Shortly thereafter, realizing she had left her phone in his car, Dillon reportedly returned immediately to hand-deliver the phone, where he found the mother outside tending to something and again engaged a parent in friendly small talk. At no point, according to sources, did anyone in the family express concern or alarm. 

***Please Help with Dillon’s Fight HERE***

Months later, Dillon was arrested at work based solely on the young woman’s sudden claim that she had been too intoxicated to consent, according to sources familiar with the case. Those familiar with these allegations express deep concern, pointing out troubling inconsistencies: the female approached Dillon in the bar repeatedly throughout the night, her effort to disrobe in the parking lot on the way to Dillon’s vehicle. How did he get the address from her and then stay the night at the family home, raising no alarms, and finally, where he encountered the parents and engaged in cordial conversation separately with each parent? 

Despite these reported inconsistencies, Dillon was denied bond solely due to his pending January 6th offense, according to legal sources involved. Dillon had retained separate federal counsel for his January 6th charges, and his local attorney saw no urgency to challenge this denial, knowing Dillon was to be incarcerated regardless for the January 6th charges—a fate far harsher than similar charges typically yield when politics are not a factor. 

Dillon working as security.

After nearly a year languishing in the Limestone County Jail, Dillon’s mother found renewed hope when President Trump pardoned Dillon for his January 6th charges. However, Dillon’s federal public defender, it seems, failed to request the crucial pardon certificate—a document essential for securing Dillon’s immediate release on bond. According to Dillon’s mother, she reached out to Treniss Evans at Condemned USA, who guided her through securing Dillon’s pardon certificate, opening the pathway for his release on bond for an unfounded allegation. 

***Please Help with Dillon’s Fight HERE***

Yet, Dillon remains imprisoned. He courageously maintains his innocence, reportedly refusing plea deals despite already serving more time behind bars than the maximum sentence if he were to accept such an agreement. His family, financially devastated by mounting legal fees, has exhausted every resource. Dillon’s mother has nowhere else to turn. She has had to move to a smaller home this last weekend and has been presented with another invoice for lawyer fees yesterday. 

The circumstances surrounding Dillon’s case strongly suggest a scenario of embarrassment or regret escalating into severe allegations, exacerbated by lingering political prejudices tied to January 6th. Dillon is caught in a perfect storm of injustice and urgently needs compassionate support. 

Treniss Evans confidently states, “I am confident we can achieve justice for Dillon, particularly for immediate release on bond. Dillon’s resolve to seek a fair trial rather than accept an unjust plea deal is admirable and worthy of your support.” 

Please consider making an immediate contribution to providing Dillon with the vigorous legal defense he desperately needs. Your compassion and generosity today can help end this nightmare and bring Dillon home.

***DONATE HERE***

Democrats are once again choosing to take the losing side of an 80/20 issue, voting against the SAVE Act.

The Gateway Pundit reported:

The House of Representatives is scheduled to vote on the Safeguard American Voter Eligibility (SAVE) Act this morning.

The bill, championed by Republicans who want honest elections, will mandate documentary proof of citizenship to vote in federal elections. Currently, one does not need to provide proof of citizenship, such as a driver’s license or a passport, to vote in races for President, the House, and the Senate.

Under the proposed law, states would be barred from processing voter registration applications unless applicants present “documentary proof” of citizenship, such as a REAL ID-compliant driver’s license, a U.S. passport, or a certified birth certificate paired with a government-issued photo ID.

The bill doesn’t stop there. It mandates states to actively purge noncitizens from voter rolls, leveraging federal databases like the Department of Homeland Security’s Systematic Alien Verification for Entitlements (SAVE) system and the Social Security Administration’s verification tools. States would also be required to set up programs within 30 days of enactment to root out ineligible voters.

The SAVE Act also takes aim at federal agencies, requiring them to share citizenship data with state election officials within 24 hours of a request—no fees allowed.

Any election official caught registering non-citizens could face criminal penalties, including federal charges. The Department of Homeland Security would even be tasked with investigating and potentially deporting any noncitizen caught unlawfully registered.

Opposing this is clearly indefensible. Despite that, Democrats are sticking to their guns.

NBC reported:

Election officials, voting rights advocates and Democrats have warned that the SAVE Act could disenfranchise millions of eligible voters who don’t have easy access to identification documents.

“My Republican colleagues crafted and passed one of the most damaging voter suppression bills in modern history. There’s no doubt that women, military members, and people of color will be disproportionately impacted,” Rep. Joe Morelle, D-N.Y., the ranking member on the House Administration Committee, said in a statement. “The fight to stop this bill — to protect Americans’ sacred right to vote — is not over. I will do everything in my power to ensure every eligible American has access to the ballot box.”

They truly must believe that women, minorities, and service members are just too stupid to get an ID.

US Supreme Court, a Jim Hoft photo

The US Supreme Court on Thursday ordered the US to facilitate the return of alleged MS-13 gang member Kilmar Abrego Garcia.

The ruling was unanimous. There was no dissent.

Politico reported:

The Supreme Court is requiring the Trump administration to “facilitate” the return of a Maryland man deported last month to a notorious prison in El Salvador due to what officials described as an “administrative error.”

The justices turned down the administration’s request to set aside a judge’s order that U.S. officials seek Kilmar Abrego Garcia’s release and return to the U.S., after he was flown to El Salvador despite an immigration-court order that he not be sent there due to the threat of persecution by a local gang.

The judge’s order “properly requires the Government to ‘facilitate’ Abrego Garcia’s release from custody in El Salvador and to ensure that his case is handled as it would have been had he not been improperly sent to El Salvador,” the Supreme Court ruled Thursday, without any noted dissent.

Last Friday US District Judge of the US District Court for the District of Maryland, Paula Xinis ordered the Trump Administration to return an alleged MS-13 gang member to the United States after he was deported to El Salvador’s notorious CECOT prison.

On Monday Supreme Court Chief Justice Roberts temporarily blocked a court order requiring the return of alleged MS-13 gang member Kilmar Abrego Garcia by midnight on Monday.

President Trump asked the US Supreme Court to intervene and grant an emergency stay of the judge’s order to return alleged MS-13 gang member Abrego Garcia to the United States.

Roberts granted the Trump Administration a stay on Judge Xinis’ order pending resolution.

Lawyers for Abrego Garcia responded to the Supreme Court’s stay and on Thursday, the high court ordered the US to facilitate Garcia’s return.

CNN reported:

Six people – including three children – are dead after a passenger helicopter crashed into the Hudson River, said New York City Mayor Eric Adams.

The passengers included a pilot and a family visiting from Spain, he said.

At 3:17 p.m., multiple 911 calls reported a helicopter crash in the Hudson River near the New Jersey coastline at Pier A Park in Hoboken, New York Police Department Commissioner Jessica Tisch said. When first responders arrived, police pulled four people out of the water and FDNY pulled out two people, she said.

Four victims were declared dead on scene while an additional two people were taken to local hospitals, where they were declared dead, Tisch said.

“Our hearts go out to the family of those who were on board,” Adams said.

The helicopter, operated by the tour company New York Helicopter Charter, is currently submerged in the river.

Space Force Col. Susan Meyers, commander of Pituffik Space Base in Greenland, sent out a base-wide email after a visit by Vice President J.D. Vance last month that undermined President Donald Trump’s position on the territory of Greenland as a vital national security interest being mismanaged by Denmark that would do better under the United States, according to a scoop by Military.com reporter Thomas Novelly published Thursday afternoon.

The visit by the vice president on March 28 was originally planned as a trip by Second Lady Usha Vance and a few Trump cabinet officials to attend a dogsled race but was changed after pushback by Greenland officials. Vance was added to his wife’s trip and the itinerary was changed to just a visit to Pituffik Space Base where he made remarks that were later distanced from by Col. Meyers in her email to base personnel.

Excerpt from the Military.com report:

Col. Susan Meyers, the commander of the 821st Space Base Group who also oversees the Pentagon’s northernmost military base, sent a March 31 message to all personnel at Pituffik seemingly aimed at generating unity among the airmen and Guardians, as well as the Canadians, Danes and Greenlanders who work there, following Vance’s appearance.

Excerpts from V.P. Vance’s remarks that apparently triggered Col. Meyers:

White House transcript via email:

REMARKS BY VICE PRESIDENT VANCE
TO U.S. TROOPS AT PITUFFIK SPACE BASE

Pituffik Space Base
Avannaata Municipality, Greenland

(March 28, 2025)

…And let me say just a couple of other things, and then we’ll take some questions from the reporters.

So, number one, I thi- — I think a lot of Americans wonder, why does Greenland matter so much? Why does the mission of this base matter so much to the American people? And I learned a lot about that today myself.

Of course, you can read about it in a book, but I saw it up close and personal. And if — God forbid, to my fellow Americans, if a missile was fired from an enemy country or an enemy submarine into the United States, it is the people here before us who would give notice to our brave men and women further south in the United States to let people know what was coming and, God willing, to try to shoot it down and prepare for it. That’s one of the things that we do at insta- — installations like this.

We know that Russia and China and other nations are taking an extraordinary interest in Arctic passageways and Arctic naval routes and, indeed, in the minerals of the Arctic territories. We need to ensure that America is leading in the Arctic, because we know that if America doesn’t, other nations will fill the gap where we fall behind.

So, what you guys do is so critically important. I think a lot of Americans — certainly, I didn’t realize it fully until President Trump started talking about the importance of our Arctic mission, about building upon it and ensuring that America can lead in the Arctic for the next generation.

And now, I — I want to talk about, of course, the interaction and what Denmark, I think, has done — and sometimes in partnership with us — but let’s be honest, what Denmark, over the last 20 years, has failed to do in some cases — because we know that, unfortunately, this place, this base, the surrounding area is less secure than it was 30, 40, years ago, because some of our allies haven’t kept up.

As China and Russia have taken greater and greater interest in Greenland, in this base, in the activities of the brave Americans right here, we know that too often our allies in Europe have not kept pace. They haven’t kept pace with military spending, and Denmark has not kept pace in devoting the resources necessary to keep this base, to keep our troops, and, in my view, to keep the people of Greenland safe from a lot of very aggressive incursions from Russia, from China, and from other nations.

Now, President Trump, as he says all the time and as a lot of people recognize, is a president of peace. We want to have good relationships with everybody; that includes even, to the extent possible, the Chinese and the Russians. But part of having good relations is showing your strength when you have to.

And, unfortunately, the story of Greenland over the past 20 years, when it comes to security, is that we’ve underinvested in the infrastructure, we’ve underinvested in the security architecture, and we’ve underinvested in the brave men and women who are doing a very hard job, as Mike said, to keep all of us safe. That has to change.

…Our message to Denmark is very simple: You have not done a good job by the people of Greenland, you have underinvested in the people of Greenland, and you have underinvested in the security architecture of this incredible, beautiful landmass filled with incredible people. That has to change.

And because it hasn’t changed, this is why President Trump’s policy in Greenland is what it is. It’s consistent with the first Trump Administration, where you saw significant investments in Arctic security, and it will continue over the next four years under President Trump’s leadership.

And let me, finally, before I kick it over to the media, make one comment about the people of Greenland. I — I — you know the colonel here, the base commander, who came here first as a second lieutenant — and I guess, Colonel, this is your second duty station here, and we’re — we’re proud of you and proud of all of you guys who are serving and helping keep us safe.

A federal judge on Thursday sided with President Trump and allowed the administration to require illegal aliens to register in an online database or face prison time, fines.

US District Judge Trevor McFadden, a Trump appointee, allowed the Trump Admin to require mandatory registration for everyone 14 or older.

In late February, Trump escalated his efforts to curb illegal immigration by requiring aliens to register in a tracking database.

The Trump Administration is encouraging illegal aliens to self-deport with the new tracking system.

The DHS said illegal aliens will face harsh penalties if they don’t submit fingerprints or disclose to the government if their address has changed.

AP reported:

A federal judge is allowing the Trump administration to move forward with a requirement that everyone in the U.S. illegally must register with the federal government, in a move that could have far-reaching repercussions for immigrants across the country.

In a ruling Thursday, Judge Trevor Neil McFadden sided with the administration, which had argued that they were simply enforcing an already existing requirement for everyone in the country who wasn’t an American citizen to register with the government.

The requirement goes into effect Friday.

Registration will be mandatory for everyone 14 and older without legal status. People registering have to provide their fingerprints and address, and parents and guardians of anyone under age 14 must ensure they registered.

Viktor Orbán’s government is working to quell the outbreak.

Hungary is fighting foot-and-mouth disease. Again.

For the first time in over 50 years a case of foot-and-mouth disease was reported in March, discovered on a cattle farm near the border with Austria and Slovakia.

‘These things happen’, one may say. Or maybe, think that Hungarian health inspections and procedures were sub-par, leading to this.

Budapest has a different explanation: bioterrorism.

Reuters reported:

“Hungary on Thursday suggested a ‘biological attack’ as a possible source of the country’s first foot-and-mouth disease outbreak in more than half a century, which has triggered border closures and the mass slaughter of cattle in the northwest.”

Animal health authorities inspected around 1,000 farms across Hungary today, with only four returning positive results, all in the in the previously affected northwestern region.

“’At this stage, we can say that it cannot be ruled out that the virus was not of natural origin, we may be dealing with an artificially engineered virus’, Prime Minister Viktor Orban’s chief of staff, Gergely Gulyas told a media briefing.

Responding to a question, Gulyas said he could not rule out that the virus outbreak was the result of a biological attack, without giving information on who might be responsible.”

The Senate race between incumbent John Cornyn and Attorney General Ken Paxton is already heating up.

Two Texas House Republicans have already endorsed Paxton’s 2026 Senate bid against Cornyn, just days after he formally announced his campaign.

Among them is Rep. Lance Gooden, who told Fox News that Paxton “will take a sledgehammer to the establishment, secure the border, and fight hard for President Trump’s agenda.”

“Attorney General Paxton is the conservative champion we need in the U.S. Senate,” Gooden wrote in a statement shared first with Fox News.

“Ken Paxton has my complete and total endorsement.”

Meanwhile, Rep. Troy Nehls also announced that he would be backing Paxton.

“He’s a bulldog, and that’s what we need in the Senate,” Nehls told POLITICO.

However, Paxton is likely to face an uphill battle in winning the support in the Senate as establishment Republicans are already closing ranks.

On Wednesday, the National Republican Senatorial Campaign Committee Chairman, Senator Tim Scott, sent out a letter endorsing Cornyn.

Like Clockwork: Tim Scott and the Turncoat National Republican Senatorial Campaign Endorse RINO John Cornyn Over Hero Ken Paxton

Meanwhile, Senate Majority Leader John Thune has admitted to privately lobbying President Trump to endorse Cornyn.

“I’m hoping that in the end, he can,” Thune said when asked about the possibility of a Trump endorsement.

“Obviously, we’re supporting Sen. Cornyn. He’s done a great job for Texas and for the country. And we need him back.”

A recent poll found that Paxton is leading Cornyn by 53 percent to 28 percent in a hypothetical match-up, although that would change if Trump weighed in on the race.

In his announcement earlier this week, Paxton described himself as a “conservative warrior” who has never wavered in his support for Trump.

“John Cornyn has been in Washington for over two decades, and he has turned his back on President Trump and the America First agenda time after time.”

“I’m a battle-tested Attorney General and conservative warrior who’s secured major victories against the establishment, the corrupt Biden Administration, and woke corporations,” he continued.

”Now, I’m ready to take that same toughness to the U.S. Senate.”

It’s official. I’m running for U.S. Senate to fight for President Trump’s agenda and take a sledgehammer to the D.C. establishment.

Together, let’s send John Cornyn packing: https://t.co/rQl0P2UnWU pic.twitter.com/1KIajC0JhN

— Attorney General Ken Paxton (@KenPaxtonTX) April 8, 2025

Cornyn, meanwhile, responded by calling Paxton a “fraud” and touted his pro-Trump voting record.

“During his first term John Cornyn voted with President Trump more than 95% of current Senators, securing the votes for his biggest accomplishments as his Whip,” Cornyn wrote on the X platform.

“Democrats are trying to destroy President Trump, and he and Texas need a battle-tested conservative who knows how to protect his agenda in the Senate and won’t be outsmarted by Chuck Schumer,” he continued. “Ken Paxton is a fraud.”
