Washington, D.C., is bracing for an unprecedented show of support as over 100 Navy SEALs prepare to descend on the nation’s capital, standing in solidarity with President-elect Donald Trump’s nominee for Secretary of Defense, Pete Hegseth.
Hegseth, a decorated Army combat veteran and prominent conservative voice, has faced relentless media attacks in recent weeks.
The fake news media have leveled accusations ranging from outdated and disproven sexual misconduct claims to allegations of public drunkenness and financial mismanagement during his tenure at Concerned Veterans for America (CVA).
Critics on the right are pushing back hard against what they view as a deliberate effort to derail a nominee poised to shake up the Defense Department.
Randy Lair, a trustee at CVA, categorically denied the whistleblower allegations, describing them as “sensational fabrications designed to undermine a patriot.”
In an exclusive letter to the New York Post, Lair emphasized that Hegseth left CVA on good terms and voluntarily pursued opportunities at Fox News, where he gained further recognition as a staunch advocate for America’s veterans.
Adding to this defense, Hegseth’s mother, Penelope Hegseth, appeared on Fox & Friends, emotionally urging the public to reject these “outrageous” claims.
While the mainstream media attempts to paint Hegseth in a negative light, his supporters are mounting a robust counter-offensive.
Conservative pundits, lawmakers, and military veterans have voiced their steadfast support for the nominee, dismissing the accusations as a leftist smear campaign.
Among his most vocal backers are members of the Navy SEAL Foundation, a group that embodies the elite warrior ethos of America’s special operations forces.
Bill Brown, a combat veteran and leader within the Foundation, confirmed during conservation with Fox News’ Will Cain that over 100 SEALs are planning a coordinated march in Washington, D.C., to publicly endorse Hegseth.
“I just got off the phone with Bill Brown. Bill Brown is a member of the Navy SEAL Foundation, a leader in the Navy SEAL Foundation. He’s a combat veteran and the leader of the Navy SEAL swim, which you and some of you who are listening and watching, like Brent Suriano, may have participated in,” Cain wrote.
“If you’ve ever participated in this, you know something about honoring America’s warriors. I just got off the phone with Bill Brown moments before I came on air… I’m just pouring out to you what Bill told me moments before the beginning of this broadcast: over 100 Navy SEALs have organized and committed to march on Washington, D.C. Over 100 Navy SEALs are prepared to throw their support openly behind Pete Hegseth.”

‘Charlatan’ vaccine promoter Dr. Peter Hotez said multiple viruses will be unleashed on America one day after Trump is inaugurated next month.
“We have some big picture stuff coming down the pike starting on January 21st,” Hotez said to MSNBC’s Nicolle Wallace before rattling off a list of viruses:
Of course, Dr. Hotez failed to mention the measles outbreaks and Polio cases are primarily a problem with the illegal migrants invading the US.
Dr. Peter Hotez previously made headlines for refusing to debate author, activist, then-presidential candidate, attorney and now Trump’s nominee for HHS, Robert Kennedy, Jr., on the effectiveness of the COVID-19 vaccines.
Rather than accept the challenge, Hotez lashed out at both Robert Kennedy Jr. and Joe Rogan, who invited the two to debate the facts on his show.
Hotez refused and ...
Several weeks of mysterious drone swarms over the skies of one New Jersey county near the military research and manufacturing facility Picatinny Arsenal have sparked concerns among residents and prompted an FBI investigation.
"It's kind of unsettling," Mike Walsh, a Morris County resident who has spotted the drones on numerous occasions, told local media outlet PIX11 News.
He said some drones "are very big, probably the size of a car."
Since Nov. 18, Walsh and many other residents have spotted these drones in the night sky.
"They're kind of go slow," he said, adding, "They come towards you. Then they change direction a little. They're all going different ways."
We first detailed the story on Nov. 19 in a note titled "Spy Drones? "Unusual Activity" Reported Over Morris County, New Jersey, Near Military Research Facility."
The potential national security threat piqued our interest, considering multiple reports that the mysterious drones were observed near Picatinny Arsenal.

At least 63 hostages remain in Hamas captivity inside Gaza.
Far-left MSNBC host Joy Reid complained Tuesday night on the network that President-elect Donald Trump was pressuring the Hamas terrorist organization to release the dozens of hostages that remain inside Gaza.
Reid compared Trump to mob boss Tony Soprano from the hit HBO show “The Sopranos,” complaining that he was “muscling other countries” on social media, like threatening BRICS countries — Brazil, Russia, India, China, and South Africa — with tariffs if they moved away from the U.S. dollar.
Reid then complained that Trump was “demanding Hamas release all hostages being held in Gaza before his inauguration, or there will be, ‘all hell to pay in the Middle East.'”
An estimated 63 hostages are still alive inside Gaza after they were kidnapped from their homes by Hamas during the Iranian-backed terrorist group’s unprecedented attack on October 7 last year. Several Americans are believed to still be alive.

Dale Carnegie wrote about a name trick in his 1936 classic How to Win Friends and Influence People. He called remembering and using a person's name "the sweetest and most important sound in any language" to that person.
Stoicism, an ancient philosophy from thinkers like Epictetus and Marcus Aurelius, has surged in popularity because it equips people to face modern chaos—like the endless pull of social media—with calm and purpose. This article draws from those timeless ideas to show how you can cut through digital noise, regain focus, and protect your mind.
I'm going to break down the core problem of social media overload, introduce Stoic basics, and explain key principles with real-world applications. By the end, you'll have tools to apply these ideas yourself, whether you're scrolling less or debating online. Think of this as a guide to spotting overload in your life, judging how it affects you, and starting small changes that build resilience.
Introduction
Imagine picking up your phone for a quick update, only to lose hours in a storm of notifications, comparisons, and heated arguments. This scenario traps billions worldwide. Social media overload drains energy and creates anxiety, but Stoicism provides a clear path out.
Stoicism offers tools to regain control and find peace amid the digital chaos. It teaches you to focus on your responses, not the endless feed.
This article explains how ancient Stoic ideas apply to modern online habits. We'll cover the overload issue, Stoic foundations, specific principles, benefits, and practical steps.
This story focuses on Elon Musk of course, as the news tends to focus on every X post or reply he makes.
If you read this story, you may have noticed that it quotes Scott Adams' reaction to a previous story about the idea of issuing $5,000 "DOGE dividend" checks, questioning why we would do that when we are facing such massive budget deficits and an enormous national debt. Elon responded to that stating that he thought we needed to balance the budget first.
This isn't the only story written about this.
What it doesn't state is that my post about the $5,000 DOGE check idea is what prompted this whole conversation. 😎

It's also notable that the whole thing started with an X post from James Fishback (@j_fishback) that included a letter he wrote with a detailed proposal about the idea:

It's still a trip to think that an ordinary person like me can have even a small impact on the national conversation.
Don't underestimate the influence what you do on this platform could have. And thank you for your support, and for coming along this strange journey with me.
