WHOA! Detectives Show Up to Home of O’Keefe Undercover Journalist to Intimidate Them Following Exposé on State Farm VP

OMG State Farm VP

Detectives came to the home of an O’Keefe Media Group undercover journalist following a criminal complaint filed by a former State Farm VP.

Recall that last month OMG released undercover footage of a State Farm VP attacking Los Angeles fire victims and admitting State Farm is excluding white people from employement.

State Farm VP of Innovation and Venture Capital Haden Kirkpatrick told an OMG undercover journalist that, “Areas like where the Palisades are, there should never be houses built in the first place…it’s a tinderbox.”

Kirkpatrick also said he wants to reshape the workforce at State Farm to include more Latinos – he also admitted State Farm is excluding whites from employment.

“I personally, I task my HR team, finding me… the perfect profile of the workforce of the future,” Haden Kirkpatrick said. “I want the 2040 workforce. So go find me the demographic profile of America in 2040: more Hispanic and Latinos.”

When questioned about whether this preference related to race applied to his personal life, Kirkpatrick doubled down: “Away from my own kind” – meaning whites.

“People want to build in areas where they want to have, like, natural areas around them for their ego. But it’s also a f*cking desert. And so, it dries out as a tinderbox.” He also acknowledged that wildfires in these areas are not surprising to insurance professionals, claiming, “Climate change is pushing these seasons.” He explained, “If you’re an insurance professional, it’s predictable.”

Kirkpatrick also admitted State Farm’s to pull out of the California market was a calculated move: “Our people look at this and say, ‘Sh*t, we’ve got, like, maybe $5 billion that we’re short if something happens.’ We’ll go to the Department of Insurance and say, ‘We’re overexposed here, you have to let us catch up our rate.’ And they’ll say, ‘Nah.’ And we’ll say, ‘Okay, then we are going to cancel these policies.’”

Kirkpatrick was fired after OMG released the undercover footage.

James O’Keefe said detectives showed up to the home of an O’Keefe Media Group undercover journalist to intimidate them over their footage exposing the State Farm VP.

“Unconstitutional” – BREAKING: Obama Judge BLASTS Trump, Blocks Admin From Withholding Funds from ‘Sanctuary Cities’

A federal judge out of San Francisco on Thursday blocked President Trump from pulling federal funds from ‘sanctuary cities.’

US District Judge William Orrick said withholding federal funds from sanctuary cities is unconstitutional.

President Trump issued a flurry of executive orders – in his first term – and now in his second term – to withhold funds from jurisdictions harboring illegal aliens.

Santa Clara, San Francisco and 14 other cities and counties sued the Trump Administration. They moved for a preliminary injunction blocking President Trump’s executive orders.

“Here we go again,” Judge Orrick wrote in his 6-page order blasting Trump for his second round of executive orders aimed at ending the subsidization of open borders.

In 2017, Judge Orrick permanently blocked a similar executive order from Trump’s effort to defund sanctuary cities.

The judge said withholding funds from sanctuary jurisdictions is unconstitutional. He said it violates the Fifth and Tenth Amendments and also violates due process.

“Precedent in the Ninth Circuit and the orders of this court show why the Cities and Counties have established that they are likely to prevail on the merits of at least their separation of powers, Spending Clause, and Fifth and Tenth Amendment claims. The challenged sections in the 2025 Executive Orders and the Bondi Directive that order executive agencies to withhold, freeze, or condition federal funding apportioned to localities by Congress, violate the Constitution’s separation of powers principles and the Spending Clause, as explained by the Ninth Circuit in the earlier iteration of this case in 2018; they also violate the Fifth Amendment to the extent they are unconstitutionally vague and violate due process,” the judge wrote in his order reviewed by The Gateway Pundit.

Orrick granted the preliminary and enjoined ALL defendants, and “their officers, agents, servants, employees, and attorneys, and any other persons who are in active concert or participation with them.”

“Defendants are instructed to provide written notice of this Order to all federal departments and agencies by April 28, 2025. The written notice shall instruct those agencies that they may not take steps to withhold from, freeze, or condition funds to the Cities and Counties based on the first sentence of Section 17 of Executive Order 14,159, Section 2(a)(ii) of Executive Order 14,218, or the Preamble and Section I of the February 5, 2025, Memorandum from the Attorney General entitled “Sanctuary Jurisdictions Directives,”” the judge said.

Ultimate Nepo Baby Alex Soros Mocks Those Who Actually Earned Their Wealth: “A Bunch of Nice Jewish Boys Who Kind of Gamed the System”

The ultimate nepo baby, Alex Soros, the heir to multibillionaire Democratic megadonor George Soros, mocked the founders of Facebook and Uber for being self-made and, in his criticism, felt the need to highlight their Jewish heritage.

In an interview with New York Magazine, the man with billions at his fingertips, thanks to someone else’s work, said the Facebook and Uber founders  “really believed their own bullsh**”.

He then sneered that the Facebook and Uber founders are “a bunch of nice Jewish boys who kind of gamed the system and, ‘Oh, let’s not become doctors, lawyers; I’m helping the world by putting taxis out of business.’”

By contrast to the younger Soros, who oversees his father’s $20 billion political empire which, through Open Society, funnels endless stacks of cash to far-left causes and the Democrat party, the founder of Facebook, Mark Zuckerberg, and the co-founders of Uber, Travis Kalanick and Garrett Camp, did not come from generational wealth.  They earned their fortunes the old-fashioned way….by building something.

Alex, who is now engaged to Hillary Clinton’s gal pal Huma Abedin, has earned a reputation for enthusiastically spending funds he didn’t earn and was a noted frequent flyer to the Biden White House.

Glenn Greenwald notes:

Alex came under fire in early 2024 for an X post that was an obvious threat against President Trump.

He shared a post from the far-left The Atlantic that featured a bullet hole and a sum of $47. Months later, there would be multiple assassination attempts against then-candidate Trump.

Trump Administration Utilizes a Brilliant Workaround to Outwit Biden Judge Who Tried to Bar Them from Deporting Certain Illegal Aliens

The Trump Administration pulled off an incredibly creative move to humiliate an activist judge trying to stop them from deporting dangerous illegal aliens.

As Axios reported, Team Trump revealed on Wednesday how they managed to avoid violating a federal judge’s restraining order barring them from deporting certain illegals.

U.S. District Court Judge Brian E. Murphy, a Biden appointee, ordered the Trump administration to ensure that people with final removal orders have a chance to argue that deportation to a country other than their own could jeopardize their safety.

The Trump administration, though, exploited a loophole in the ruling and deported several illegal aliens anyway. It turns out Murphy’s order only applied to the Department of Homeland Security, not any other federal agencies.

So, Team Trump decided to use the Department of Defense (DOD) to ship out illegal aliens, thus outwitting Murphy. In a Wednesday court filing, an attorney representing DHS pointed out that because the DOD is not a defendant in the case, the deportations it has carried out so far comply with the Biden judge’s order.

As Axios notes, the filing cites two cases where individuals were deported to Mexico before Murphy issued his order.

It also includes a sworn declaration from a DHS official, who stated that every person deported after Murphy’s court order was sent to Guantanamo Bay before being shipped off to El Salvador on military flights.

Axios goes on to note that Judge Murphy’s order was initially a setback for the administration, which has sought to send some deported criminal illegal immigrants to countries they are not originally from, like El Salvador. The Trump Administration is using the Alien Enemies Act to fast-track these deportations.

As TGP readers know, El Salvador has become the top flashpoint in the immigration fight. The most notorious example of this is the case of MS-13 gangster and alleged wife-beater Kilmar Abrego Garcia.

Abrego Garcia has become a folk hero for Democrats despite his sordid past with several members of Congress rushing down to El Salvador to greet him and push for his release.

BREAKING: Corrupt Clinton Judge Partially Blocks Trump Election Integrity Executive Order, Including Requiring Proof of Citizenship

A federal judge on Thursday partially blocked President Trump’s executive order on election integrity, including the requirement to add proof of citizenship to federal voter registration forms.

President Trump’s March 25 Preserving and Protecting the Integrity of American Elections executive order mandates voter ID and documentary proof of citizenship to vote in federal elections, audits and improves the security of voting machines, and orders the DOJ to enforce the law against states that count mail-in ballots received after Election Day. It also prioritizes the enforcement of laws preventing foreign money from influencing elections and federally funded organizations from lobbying or supporting candidates.

Additionally, the order includes a provision that “the Department of Homeland Security, in coordination with the DOGE Administrator, shall review each State’s publicly available voter registration list and available records concerning voter list maintenance activities as required by 52 U.S.C. 20507, alongside Federal immigration databases and State records requested, including through subpoena where necessary and authorized by law, for consistency with Federal requirements.”

Far-left nonprofit groups such as the Campaign Legal Center and the State Democracy Defenders Fund filed a lawsuit against the Trump Administration to block the election integrity order. The DNC and other Democrats also filed suit.

Democrats don’t want voter ID or proof-of-citizenship requirements because it makes it harder for them to cheat and steal elections.

On Thursday, Judge Colleen Kollar-Kotelly, a radical Clinton appointee who previously mocked an elderly Catholic woman as she threw the book at her for praying at an abortion clinic, sided with the far-left nonprofit groups.

Judge Kollar-Kotelly partially blocked Trump’s executive order, including proof of citizenship.

The judge did not block Trump’s executive order on mail-in ballots received after Election Day.

AP reported:

A federal judge on Thursday blocked the Trump administration from immediately enacting certain changes to how federal elections are run, including adding a proof-of-citizenship requirement to the federal voter registration form.

President Donald Trump had called for that and other sweeping changes to U.S. elections in an executive order signed in March, arguing the U.S. “fails to enforce basic and necessary election protections” that exist in other countries.

U.S. District Judge Colleen Kollar-Kotelly sided with voting rights groups and Democrats to grant a preliminary injunction to stop the citizenship requirement from moving forward while the lawsuit plays out.

SHOWDOWN: President Trump Takes Transgender Military Ban Fight to Supreme Court

President Trump asked the Supreme Court to intervene after a lower court temporarily blocked his ban on transgender troops.

The Ninth Circuit Court of Appeals, stacked with leftist judges, denied the Trump Administration’s stay of injunction on the transgender troop ban last Friday evening.

The three judges: Wallace Tashima (Clinton), John Owens (Obama), and Roopali Desai (Biden) denied the request for a stay.

In January President Trump signed the “Restoring America’s Fighting Force” executive order and the “Prioritizing Military Excellence and Readiness” executive orders, which direct every element of the U.S. military to “operate free from any preference based on race or sex” and root out gender insanity and made up pronoun usage, respectively.

US District Judge Benjamin Hale Settle in Washington State issued a nationwide preliminary injunction last month.

Judge Settle, a George W. Bush appointee, said the Trump DOJ’s arguments have not been persuasive.

President Trump’s DOJ filed an appeal, and the DC Circuit Court denied the administration’s motion to stay Judge Settle’s preliminary injunction.

“Appellants have not demonstrated that they will suffer irreparable harm absent a stay,” the appeals court said in a Friday evening order.

Last month the same three judge panel in the 9th Circuit Court denied the Trump DOJ’s request for an administrative stay.

Additionally, Judge Ana Reyes, a Biden appointee from Uruguay, previously issued a temporary nationwide injunction blocking Trump’s transgender military ban.

Trump’s DOJ asked the Supreme Court to intervene and block the lower court’s ruling.

Fox News reported:

The Trump administration is asking the Supreme Court to review a lower court’s ruling that temporarily blocked its ban on transgender troops in the military.

In a filing on Thursday, the Justice Department requested that the high court stop the lower court’s injunction and allow the military to disqualify from service “individuals who have gender dysphoria or have undergone medical interventions for gender dysphoria.”

“Absent a stay, the district court’s universal injunction will remain in place for the duration of further review in the Ninth Circuit and in this Court – a period far too long for the military to be forced to maintain a policy that it has determined, in its professional judgment, to be contrary to military readiness and the Nation’s interests,” lawyers for the Trump administration argued.

Explosive Report Alleges Election Sabotage in Germany: Dead Voters, Missing Ballots, and No ID Checks

Ballot boxes via Wikimedia Commons

Explosive allegations have emerged from Germany’s recent federal election, with a formal complaint accusing authorities of widespread procedural failures and intentional sabotage that may very well have altered the outcome of the vote.

The complaint, filed by Marcel Luthe—a former Berlin lawmaker for the liberal, pro-business Free Democrat Party and the current chairman of the Good Governance Union—lays out a detailed 80-page argument, accompanied by over 200 pages of supporting documents, Berliner Zeitung reports.

The complaint asserts that the 2024 Bundestag election, which resulted in a narrow victory for the globalist Christian Democrats over the insurgent, anti-establishment Alternative für Deutschland (AfD), was marred by a series of “avoidable electoral errors” that, according to Luthe, may have altered the outcome of the vote.

Luthe, who does not pull any punches, accuses the German election system of being “sabotaged according to plan,” especially in ways that disenfranchised German voters living abroad, who traditionally lean away from the old parties and the ruling coalition, composed mainly of the Greens and the socialists.

He contends that the electoral process was deliberately skewed to favor establishment parties, while systematically disadvantaging opposition movements—most notably Sahra Wagenknecht’s left-wing nationalist BSW party, which fell just 10,000 votes short of passing the five percent threshold required to secure parliamentary representation.

Among the most damning claims in Luthe’s report is that the election allowed ballots to be cast without adequate voter ID verification. Sound familiar? Citing existing electoral laws, Luthe argues that most voters should have been required to present a government-issued photo ID. Instead, instructions sent to election boards in cities like Stuttgart directed poll workers to accept election notifications alone—documents that, Luthe notes, lack any “forgery-proof features.”

Luthe warned that “this opens the door to significant abuse,” noting that with more than 65,000 polling stations across Germany, even small procedural lapses could lead to tens of thousands of questionable votes, potentially enough to sway the outcome.

He insists the practice grossly violates the core democratic principle of election integrity and undermines public confidence in the outcome.

In one alarming case, voters reportedly arrived at their polling stations only to be told that their ballots had already been cast by someone else. In the town of Bad Kreuznach, near Frankfurt, for example, more ballots were discovered than registered voters. Sound familiar? Similar complaints, including claims of stolen or missing mail-in ballots, also emerged in multiple districts.

One of Luthe’s central arguments is that German voters abroad—many of whom are traditionally skeptical of the mainstream parties—were effectively silenced. His union received numerous complaints from expatriates who never received their voting documents, despite registering on time. Others reported delays that made it impossible to return ballots before the deadline.

“This was no accident,” Luthe posted on X, calling the election a “farce” and asserting that the government deliberately sabotaged overseas participation. “When voters outside the country are systematically excluded, it’s not democracy—it’s manipulation.”

Luthe also criticized Germany’s rigid five percent electoral threshold, which keeps smaller or newer parties from entering parliament unless they clear the vote percentage nationally. He argues that the rule disproportionately impacts non-establishment voices, like the BSW and the right-wing Alternative for Germany (AfD), and distorts true voter representation.

Luthe, in light of these concerns raised in the complaint, is demanding that full transcripts from all polling stations be made public. Without a thorough, independent audit, he warns, there’s no way to determine whether these cases were isolated mishaps or part of a deeper, more systematic failure.

“This election must be scrutinized from top to bottom,” Luthe said. “Anything less is a betrayal of the democratic process.”

As Europe grapples with growing discontent toward traditional political structures, Luthe’s report is likely to intensify calls across the continent for fairer, more transparent electoral systems.

With similar controversies already unfolding in France and Romania, where leading opposition figures like Marine Le Pen and Calin Georgescu have been sidelined by legal and institutional mechanisms, many are beginning to ask the deeply troubling question:

Are the increasingly desperate globalist elites rewriting the rules of democracy to maintain their grip on power?

The German government has yet to respond to the full scope of Luthe’s allegations.

BREAKING: Attorney Ty Clevenger Exposes FBI’s Role in Hiding Seth Rich Records and Perpetuating the Russia Hoax — Sends Scathing Letter to Pam Bondi, Kash Patel, and Trump Officials

Ty Clevenger has fired off a blistering letter to Attorney General Pam Bondi and FBI Director Kash Patel, accusing the FBI of flagrantly concealing critical records about the late DNC staffer Seth Rich and the now-discredited Russia collusion narrative.

In February 2024, Clevenger demanded that the FBI hand over the Seth Rich documents they continue to conceal from the public.

The FBI’s refusal follows a pattern of obfuscation. For years, the agency denied even possessing Seth Rich’s laptop—until Clevenger’s legal efforts forced the FBI to admit they had it all along. Yet, the agency still refuses to disclose any metadata from Seth Rich’s electronic devices.

Even more damning, Clevenger has already uncovered proof that the FBI improperly withheld pages from the CrowdStrike report related to the alleged 2016 DNC hack—an event that conveniently became a political weapon against President Donald Trump.

Earlier this month, Attorney Ty Clevenger filed a motion in federal court to hold the FBI in contempt for what he calls a “deliberate and willful defiance” of a court order mandating the release of key information related to murdered DNC staffer Seth Rich.

The letter obtained by The Gateway Pundit on Thursday implicates former DOJ and intelligence officials in what Clevenger describes as a systemic cover-up designed to protect the Obama-era deep state operatives and their media allies.

Clevenger, representing plaintiff Brian Huddleston in a Freedom of Information Act (FOIA) lawsuit against the FBI (Huddleston v. Federal Bureau of Investigation), claims the agency is withholding documents that could unravel the official narrative surrounding Rich’s 2016 murder and the so-called Russian hacking of DNC emails.

The attorney argues that the FBI’s refusal to release records, including those from Rich’s work laptop, is not only a violation of FOIA but also an attempt to shield evidence that could exonerate Russia and point to an inside job at the DNC.

In his letter to Pam Bondi, Kash Patel, and other Trump officials, Clevenger highlights compelling evidence suggesting Rich was the source of the DNC emails published by Wikileaks, not Russian hackers as alleged by the Mueller investigation and the intelligence community.

Wikileaks founder Julian Assange hinted at Rich’s involvement in a 2016 interview, offering a $20,000 reward for information on his murder. Pulitzer Prize-winning journalist Seymour Hersh also claimed in a sworn deposition that a trusted source confirmed Rich as the leaker.

Clevenger points to the FBI’s possession of Rich’s work laptop, a personal laptop image, a DVD, and a tape drive—items the bureau initially denied having. Despite court orders to examine these devices, the FBI has stonewalled, refusing to confirm whether it has even reviewed the laptop’s contents.

Clevenger argues this is a deliberate tactic to protect the narrative that Russian intelligence, not Rich, was behind the DNC email leak. He connects this to the U.S. v. Netyksho case, where the FBI admitted a link between Rich’s laptop and the prosecution of alleged Russian hackers.

The letter doesn’t stop at the FBI. Clevenger, also representing The Transparency Project in a separate FOIA case (The Transparency Project v. U.S. Department of Justice), accuses the CIA of potentially fabricating “Russian fingerprints” in DNC emails to frame Russia and undermine President Trump.

The CIA’s refusal to confirm or deny the existence of such records, citing national security, only fuels suspicions of a deeper cover-up. Clevenger calls on Director of National Intelligence Tulsi Gabbard and CIA Director John Ratcliffe to investigate and release these records voluntarily, aligning with President Trump’s directive to declassify Russia hoax documents.

Clevenger also raises concerns about Aaron Rich, Seth’s brother, who allegedly seized Seth’s personal computer and phone shortly after the murder. Aaron’s subsequent lawsuits against those suggesting his involvement in the email leak, including Butowsky, have been described as part of a coordinated “lawfare” campaign to silence critics.

Clevenger questions why Aaron has refused to authorize Wikileaks to disclose what it knows about Seth’s role, suggesting he may have something to hide.

In a separate letter to White House officials, including Counsel David Warrington, Deputy Chief of Staff Stephen Miller, and Senior Counselor Stanley Woodward, Clevenger proposes bold reforms to combat the federal government’s FOIA violations.

He suggests appointing a “chief transparency officer” to prosecute bureaucrats who obstruct public access to records and advocates for legislation to criminalize FOIA violations, modeled on Texas law.

“Federal employees know there are no consequences for violating FOIA,” Clevenger writes, arguing that this impunity fuels the bureaucracy’s cover-up culture.

Louisiana Supreme Court Suspends Democrat Judge Eboni Johnson Rose for Misconduct — Only Two-Month Suspension, Two Years Probation Ordered

Judge Eboni Johnson Rose (Credit: 19th Judicial District Court)

The Louisiana State Supreme Court has officially suspended Democrat District Judge Eboni Johnson Rose for judicial misconduct, handing down a two-month active suspension and two years of probation.

Eboni Johnson Rose is a Democrat judge in Louisiana’s 19th Judicial District Court, elected in December 2020.

Her time on the bench has been marred by a string of egregious blunders that cast serious doubt on both her competence and impartiality—ultimately leading to her temporary suspension by the Louisiana Supreme Court in August 2024.

Among her most notorious errors, Johnson Rose convicted a woman of a lesser charge after a jury had already delivered a not guilty verdict in a case involving a firearm during a flood-related dispute.

She improperly met privately with the jury, coaxing them to change their decision, a move Justice Scott Crichton called a “blatant violation” of judicial protocol.

In another case, she convicted a former Baton Rouge police officer, Donald Steele Jr., of “misdemeanor malfeasance,” a charge that doesn’t even exist in Louisiana law, only to later acquit him after her mistake was exposed.

These rulings, overturned by higher courts, reveal a pattern of legal incompetence that undermines public trust in the judiciary.

Worse still, Johnson Rose has been accused of injecting racial bias into her courtroom. In April 2024, she berated prosecutors, alleging they wanted to “stick every n***** in jail” while handling a case involving a Black defendant.

This inflammatory language, coupled with her claim that the District Attorney’s office was “systematically targeting Black men,” suggests a dangerous politicization of her role.

Her decisions to release violent offenders, like Billy Pettice, who attacked another woman after she removed his ankle monitor, and Luke Simmons, later implicated in a drive-by shooting, further fuel conservative criticisms that she prioritizes ideology over public safety.

On Wednesday, the Louisiana Supreme Court officially suspended Judge Eboni Johnson Rose of the 19th Judicial District Court for misconduct involving egregious legal missteps, courtroom bias, and the use of profane and racially charged language.

The suspension follows a joint petition for consent discipline between Judge Rose and the Judiciary Commission of Louisiana, which confirmed that Rose admitted to violating the state’s Code of Judicial Conduct and the Louisiana Constitution.

The court ordered a six-month suspension, with all but two months deferred, and placed the Democrat judge on two years of probation effective immediately.

The Supreme Court also imposed a financial penalty, ordering Judge Rose to pay $11,196.11 to cover investigative costs and to partially reimburse taxpayers for the cost of bringing in substitute judges during her disqualification. Payments are to be made over an 18-month period.

While the ruling is serious, several members of the state’s highest court dissented, arguing that the discipline didn’t go far enough.

Chief Justice John L. Weimer and Justices Crain and McCallum all issued dissents, signaling their belief that a harsher punishment would have been more appropriate given the severity of Judge Rose’s conduct.

“Since her suspension was imposed over eight months ago, Judge Rose has been paid her usual judicial salary while another judge has been paid to perform her job. This is the equivalent of a paid vacation. Judge Rose’s disciplinary violations warrant that she be suspended without pay,” wrote Crain.

“This case makes it manifestly apparent why the Louisiana constitution should be amended to address the suspension of judges with and without pay to fix this inequitable burden on the taxpayers.”

Pete Hegseth Delivers an Absolutely Savage Response to Far-Left CBS After Outlet Publishes Preposterous Story Alleging He Had a Makeup Studio Installed at the Pentagon

Image: Wikimedia Commons (DOD photo by Chad J. McNeeley)

The corporate media’s latest smear job against Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth completely blew up in their faces after he got wind of the story.

As TGP readers know, Democrats and the media have had their knives out for Hegseth ever since President Trump nominated him for the Defense Secretary position. The bogus Signal chat leak story and lies about him being a drunk are just a few examples.

On Wednesday, far-left CBS published a crazy story trying to make Hegseth look like a feminine narcissist. The outlet alleged that the Defense Secretary ordered a makeup studio installed in a room next to the Pentagon press briefing room to make it easier for him to prepare for television appearances.

CBS claimed that this decision would have cost several thousand dollars, but it was eventually scaled back. The outlet also alleged that an in-house construction crew renovated the adjacent green room earlier this year, furnishing it with a new chair and a large mirror with makeup lighting.

According to CBS, the room previously had minimal furnishings.

An angry Hegseth blew up the garbage smear job by CBS with an absolutely savage reply on X. He completely denied the story while suggesting something far more appealing to woke media.

“Totally fake story. No ‘orders’ and no ‘makeup’ — but whatever,” Hegseth wrote.

“We should have installed tampon machines in every men’s bathroom at DoD instead — the leftist ‘news’ media would have loved that,” he added.

LOL!

1) Totally fake story. No “orders” and no “makeup” — but whatever.

2) We should have installed tampon machines in every men’s bathroom at DoD instead — the leftist “news” media would have loved that. https://t.co/7LypyVObXJ

— Pete Hegseth (@PeteHegseth) April 23, 2025

The DOD also vociferously denied the story. They pointed out that there was no lighted mirror, the project did not cost thousands of dollars, and that the items added to the green room were not a makeup studio.

The items also came from existing inventory.

Does the fake news NOT have anything better to do?

1. No lighted mirror.
2. It didn’t cost thousands.
3. The items that were added to the GREEN ROOM (not a makeup studio) came from existing inventory.

This story is TRASH! https://t.co/hOrF5VNqcg pic.twitter.com/FQzXX4QgpW

— DOD Rapid Response (@DODResponse) April 23, 2025

Let’s hope President Trump remains strong and tells the media to go to h*ll by continuing to stand by Hegseth. The pressure campaign to throw Hegseth to the wolves will only ramp up.
