God has been warning us over and over again about what is ahead.  Why is most of the population not interested in listening to such warnings?  Recently, a woman named Elizabeth Nebenfuhr reached out to me about a near death experience that she had as she was laying on an operating room table.  She had shared some of this information before, but she felt that now was the time to share her experience in a more detailed way.  I asked her to write out what she saw while she was dead, and she has given me permission to share it with all of you.  Please share this testimony as widely as you can, because I believe that it is important. During her time with Jesus, Elizabeth witnessed cataclysms that are far beyond anything that any of us have ever experienced, and she saw that they would just keep hitting one after another.  It will be a time of tremendous terror and death.  People won’t have time to deal with the consequences of one disaster before another one strikes.  Elizabeth was truly horrified by what she was shown, but Jesus also had some very encouraging words of comfort as well.  The following is Elizabeth Nebenfuhr’s testimony in her own words… ***** I had two NDE’s this one I speak of here now and another 9 months later again on an operating table (I will discuss that one again as well at a later date). I was diagnosed with aggressive breast cancer in the summer of 2004 which then began the battle, followed by a very radical mastectomy of my left breast, It was a aggressive treatment that was also in need of aggressive chemotherapy and radiation. After the first year and a half I was met with another challenge during my recovery, I began to experience excruciating pain that brought me to a place of begging God to please take away the pain, so much damage had been done to my nerves, muscles, tendons and joint of the arm that was given chemotherapy (before placement of port in chest), that anytime I reached out or reached up I was in agony. All I wanted to do was praise Him with both lifted arms again without severe pain. I prayed for healing and did everything I could to the point to where I couldn’t take it anymore? Surgery was inevitable. I had had many surgeries before, and remember I had my mastectomy already so I was fully trusting God that He would take care of me through this journey as well. I have shared the testimony of my souls encounter with our Lord Jesus Christ, as my body lay on operating room table, I stood with the Lord. I will include links to testimonies in comment section if you would like to listen and share. Our precious LORD told me many things and I’ve shared those things with whoever would listen, on blog talks, podcasts and YouTube ministries as well as my own FB live. He told me I had to go back and tell His children the things He told me and showed me. He told me to ‘Tell His children, tell His people , tell is church (just like that) that He loves them and He’s coming back very soon, but before He comes back there are things they must do and things that must happen.” I told Him ‘they will not listen or believe me… He said “Elizabeth they did not believe me or listen to me either, and they mocked me…” then I was reminded of the words in the Bible, His crucifixion. I have had many naysayers, but I can’t let that stop me. What I’m here today to share with you is about what He imparted into my spirit (it’s hard to describe) that I could only share bits and pieces throughout the years because it is so painful and traumatic. The faces I saw in my spirit broke my heart, I call it “The faces of hopelessness” many will die with those faces and the faces of terror. Hearing Him speak and being shown His great sorrow was the absolute worst, I was absolutely broken from His words. GOD does not take pleasure in the demise of the sinful people. This will happen because man did it all to themselves because of the sin of greed. Lust of the eye, lust of the flesh and the pride of life. Because they put another god before Him. This is not easy to talk about and it’s hard to share and most people don’t want to hear it, but I must be obedient, this is the time to release it as best as I can. As I was with Him, I was in awe, He was more beautiful than the English language can describe, I was shown beautiful and heavenly things, but I also knew the seriousness of what He was speaking to me in this visitation. He spoke to me in a serious, gentle and calm voice and He said “Elizabeth, I have work for you and you must listen.” He impressed upon me that His children must worship Him in spirit and in truth! His children today must be prepared to be strong in the Lord and in his mighty power in these days to come. He impressed upon my spirit that His coming is very, very soon and He began to impress upon me the things to come. He said “I am coming soon!” And I knew as He spoke that it was very, very soon. He then said ” Before I come there will be catastrophic events and great destruction… and hopelessness” It was impressed upon me what those things will look like and I will now speak of those things. I will say this… that after this visitation I was never the same, I knew His great love, His sorrow about sinfulness but I also knew His Holy justice. My heart was in distress for many days after I cried wanting to go back with Him, but I knew I had to return and care for my husband, children and later grandchildren, but mostly I had to preach and share what I saw. The things that will come up on the earth will be terrifyingly unbelievable. It will be one thing after another, The Earth will open up and people will fall into the Earth into the pits as the Earth enlarges its mouth as the Bible says, The Earth will roll and topple (become distorted in form), it will not just be in one place as earthquakes, tornados, hurricanes, tsunamis have happened before, this will be like nothing that has ever been seen before. People will cry out for it to stop… There will be one devastation and then another and then another, people will not have time to concern themselves with their loss before another happens. We see these things happening already, but people will not be able to even keep up with them. It’ll be one hurricane after another one earthquake after another, one tsunami after another. Before, during and after such things parents will be running to and fro trying to find their children as they are taken from them. As like the days of the Holocaust Mothers will be crying out in the street because her children are either dead, dying or dragged away. These things are happening right now in other countries, but soon America will see these things. This is what was spiritually impressed upon my spirit. All this time I was asking Jesus to help me to remember it all, but I also did not want to be given such an assignment it was going to be hard and I knew it and I knew I was going to be hated for what I must stand for, possibly even die for all of what I’m shown and told (no one wants to be hated, threatened or murdered, but GOD) Most Christians today they just want to tell of the good things so no one will be upset…I told the LORD I needed His help and boldness and He filled me right there and then. I told Him all He shows me and must align with His words written in the Bible… Fire will consume so much of the land, Waters will cover houses not in just one small town, but many, whole states will be destroyed in moments. Jesus was emphasizing that He wants his children prepared to not be caught off guard. The revealing of the Antichrist will come upon all men soon. When he showed me the signs of the times (2006) things hadn’t quite began yet as they are now, but we’re now in the contractions of birth. We’re in the time of sorrows, Tribulation has begun! It’s not something that’s coming, It’s here, it’s now! The strong delusion is here! The gross darkness will cover the whole Earth soon and gross darkness the people! Isaiah 60:2 You will see people doing things you never thought they would would do in their own front yards and there will be nothing you can do about it! Lawlessness will cover the whole earth and there will be no one to bring justice, but the Almighty GOD. Woman will take the lives of their babies in their own womb in the streets to make a point to those who want to save their babies and there will be nothing anyone can do…evil will seem as if it’s having its way. People will be in great terror and try to flee, but they will be caught. The unthinkable things they do in the dark will be done in the open air …Isaiah 24:18 The darkness that will take place will be worse than what people were doing in Pompei before it’s great destruction there will not even be ash left that takes the form of it’s victims. There will come many SUDDENLIES! Oh, LORD have mercy! I could only feel His great sorrow as His words spoke to me. There will be more plagues like nothing we have seen, that will come upon the people, Zech 14:12. The Anti Christ will be enthroned and world war will follow, war that brings all consuming fire, weapons of mass destruction…nuclear weaponry upon the Earth. The judgment upon those who warred against Jerusalem (as the word says) Zechariah 14 No one will be able to say this has happened before, because there will be no history of it ever having happened, because it will be much worse than the days of Noah and Sodom and Gammorah. The people who love sinfulness will bow down to the anti Christ and they will murder for what pleases their flesh. The cries in anguish and the cursing of God will be horrendous. People will curse their pastors, the church people will be murderously angry and turn against each other, because their pastors told them to do this or to do that, they will receive the mark… yes I was told Christians will be deceived, they are already because they listened and trusted a man/men. There will be great hunger and people will do the unthinkable to fill their bellies People will go insane! Pray that you would be able to escape these things to come! Repent of sin now! Return to the LORD if you have not done so already! Jesus told me ” Do not be afraid!” It will be a fearful time. “The great and dreadful day of the Lord” is a phrase from the Bible that refers to a time of judgment when Jesus will return and destroy the wicked… The phrase appears in the Bible in reference to Jesus’ Second Coming. It describes a day of judgment that will be terrifying, cruel, and full of fury. Amos 5:18: “The day of the LORD is darkness, and not light”. Joel 2:31: “The sun shall be turned into darkness, and the moon into blood, before the great and terrible day of the LORD come”. Isaiah 13:9: “Behold, the day of the LORD cometh, cruel both with wrath and fierce anger”. The only way that I can truly show you what I had impressed upon my spirit and magnified over and over, is by the photos I will share here. Be reminded that these faces of hopelessness and the death and destruction that you see will be all over the world just like this, but magnified and multiplied. I’m going to try to do a LIVE stream in the next few days, please keep my family and myself in prayer. The enemy and his minions like to use anything to discourage us and keep us from sharing the truth. Keep speaking truth friends! Thank you Please prepare your soul! Seek the LORD while He still can be found. ***** Michael’s new book entitled “Why” is available in paperback and for the Kindle on Amazon.com, and you can subscribe to his Substack newsletter at michaeltsnyder.substack.com.

One secret ingredient keeps these Soft Chocolate Chip Cookies chewy and tender for days. It’s a fail proof recipe that always turns out perfectly! These Soft Chocolate Chip Cookies are never cakey or dry – they stay perfectly soft, even after freezing! In This Article Video: Watch Us Make This RecipeWhy This Recipe Stands OutKey Recipe IngredientsSubstitutions And VariationsStep-By-Step Recipe InstructionsHow To Prep AheadCommonly Asked QuestionsSoft Chocolate Chip Cookies RecipeMore To Bake And Eat View more This post may contain affiliate links, at no additional cost to you. Video: Watch Us Make This Recipe Why This Recipe Stands Out These cookies are reminiscent of those soft-batch chocolate chip cookies that were crazy popular in the 80’s, except this homemade version is undeniably better. Here’s why: The Secret Ingredient: The reason these chocolate chip cookies stay decadently soft is because they’re essentially pudding cookies. Instant Vanilla Pudding mix leaves them perfectly soft and luscious. Fail Proof Recipe: These cookies are so easy to make, and they turn out equally delicious every time. Even the kids can help make this treat! Makes a Big Batch: This recipe makes 72 smaller cookies! You read that right… 72! Perfect for passing around at holidays and gatherings. Cookie Dough Stores Well: Like most of our favorite cookie recipes, Soft Chocolate Chip Cookie dough can be made in advance and chilled or frozen for later. Key Recipe Ingredients Butter – Different brands of salted butter have different amounts of salt, so we opt for unsalted butter to keep the results consistent every time. Brown Sugar – We use only brown sugar in this recipe. It balances out the lightness of the pudding mix, so that the cookies still have the deep molasses flavor of classic chocolate chip cookies. Instant Vanilla Pudding – Instant pudding is great in baked goods! It leaves these cookies unbelievably soft for days and adds an extra kick of vanilla flavor. Eggs – Eggs bind all the ingredients together in our cookies and help them hold their shape while baking. Chocolate Chips – We usually opt for semi-sweet chocolate chips for cookies, but chocolate minis and chunks work great too! Substitutions And Variations Here are some simple variations to Soft Chocolate Chip Cookies: Add your Favorite Mix-Ins: Try mixing in chopped walnuts, chopped pecans, pistachios, white chocolate chips, dark chocolate chips, or coconut like we do in this recipe for Chewy Coconut Chocolate Chip Cookies. Double the Chocolate: Make Double Chocolate Chip Cookies by replacing the vanilla pudding mix with chocolate pudding mix and adding more chopped chocolate chunks. Add Toppings: We love sprinkling some coarse sea salt on top of these cookies for a finishing touch. Another decadent topping is this 4-Ingredient Salted Caramel Sauce. Step-By-Step Recipe Instructions In a large bowl, combined flour, baking soda, and salt. In a separate bowl, cream together butter and sugar until light and fluffy. Add pudding mix, and beat until incorporated. Add eggs and vanilla to butter mixture and beat until incorporated. Add dry ingredients and fold until barely combined. Add in chocolate chips and mix into the dough. Cover dough and let chill for 30 minutes to 1 hour. Then, form 1″ balls of dough and place on parchment-lined baking sheet. Bake at 350F for 8 minutes or just until edges are golden. Let cool and enjoy! For full list of ingredients and instructions, see recipe card below. How To Prep Ahead Check out our simple tips for making these Chocolate Chip Cookies in advance: Chill Dough Overnight or Longer: Although the dough only needs to chill for up to 1 hour, you can chill it overnight and bake the next day. The dough will just need to sit at room temp until it’s pliable enough to work with. Freeze Cookie Dough Balls: Dough balls can be flash frozen on a parchment-lined baking sheet and transferred to a freezer-safe container to bake whenever you like. You can bake them straight from frozen; they’ll just take a couple extra minutes to bake. Store Baked Cookies: Baked cookies will stay fresh in an airtight container at room temp for up to 3 days. After that you can refrigerate them for a week or freeze them for up to 1 month. They stay unbelievably soft! Commonly Asked Questions What can I substitute for the pudding mix in this recipe? Unfortunately, there really isn’t a good substitute for the pudding mix when making these cookies. However, you can still get totally soft and delicious cookies without pudding mix. Check out our recipe for Forever Chewy Chocolate Chip Cookies. Why do you only use brown sugar in this recipe? While we sometimes use a mixture of granulated and brown sugar for chocolate chip cookies, we find that only using brown sugar is best for these vanilla pudding chocolate chip cookies. The pudding mix makes the cookies extra light and fluffy, and the brown sugar helps them still have that signature deep molasses flavor that makes chocolate chip cookies so good! How can I tell when Soft Chocolate Chip Cookies are done baking? When baking any chocolate chip cookie, you’ll know they’re done when the edges turn golden-brown, but the center still looks slightly underdone. Even a slightly glossy top is totally fine, as they’ll finish cooking as they cool. How do I prevent my cookies from turning out too flat? First, make sure you’re not over-mixing the wet and dry ingredients. Gently fold them together until barely combined and then very gently fold in the chocolate chips. Second, make sure you’re chilling your cookie dough long enough. The dough will need to sit in the fridge for up to 1 hour before baking. These two tips will ensure your cookies turn out perfect every time. Print Soft Chocolate Chip Cookies One secret ingredient keeps these Soft Chocolate Chip Cookies chewy and tender for days.

Video Notes Yields about 72 smaller sized cookies. If you’d like to make them larger, bake a couple minutes longer and just until edges are golden brown and center looks slightly under-baked. Key is not to over-bake.  These cookies keep very well at room temp in an airtight container. Unbaked cookie dough can be tightly wrapped up and frozen for later use. Make sure to pack the brown sugar into your measuring cup firmly for best results. Cookies will look under-baked out of the oven. But don’t worry. They’ll set completely as they cool!

There are some things you just shouldn’t do.  But there are some things you simply need to do at the right time, and the right place.  And there is a time and a place for everything that needs doing! These are some of the lessons I learned from my grandmother, who was also my Intermediate School Principal. We’re talking old school.  Handmade wood paddles hanging in her office.  And no — we’re not talking about canoeing.  She was not afraid to teach lessons the old fashioned way. But back to those little lessons that DIDN’T involve a swift paddling.  One I distinctly remember had to do with that little something that can often end up up bugging you, just out of polite reach, just inside one of your nostrils. You know — the sort of situation where it tickles, but also drives you crazy because you are breathing at different flow rates through your nostrils.  And the more you try to ignore it, the more it drives you crazy? But there is a time, a place, and a manner to handle that, and my grandmother had all that stuff figured out. The answer to many of life’s would-be faux pas generally fall into two distinct categories: in public, or not in public. Hence, the key to fixing my 5-year-old clogged nostril — bathroom, tissue, and alone time; no audience.  Lesson learned.  (Thanks, Grandma!) The story I am bringing you now didn’t happen in the bathroom, though I bet more than a few of you already drew your conclusions.  But it did involve the question of in public vs in private. Or, at least, maybe not inside an airtight sealed metal plane? Alright — I’ll spill the beans. No, the topic at hand was not flatulence. (Could that word BE any funnier???  I honestly think that might be funnier than just saying FART.  I have a hunch that if I taught that word as a replacement to my 6 year old son, he could appear more well-mannered in public without loosing any of the humor!) My grandmother would be appalled how far I am taking this story, but I have a feeling she’d be giggling on the inside right alone with my 6 year old son. It all went down when Zavier Torrence was right in the middle of a flight back home to Florida after Thanksgiving. Unfortunately, someone on his plane didn’t grow up with a School Principal for a grandmother who knew all the keys to avoiding faux pas in public places. Somebody, in fact, had a hankering for Tuna.  But not just tuna. Warm tuna — on a plane, in an enclosed space, with hundreds of people onboard. Somebody had a hankering for Tuna on a plane packed with weary travelers, and rather than listening to that small voice whispering, “No, no — think of the others, dear.” This person handed their intrusive thoughts a megaphone… and ordered a tuna melt. And by the time that faux pas had drifted to every nook and cranny, interrupting the inflight movie, and causing all manner of nasal distress… Zavier Torrence did what any reasonable, levelheaded American in such a situation would do: he pulled out his phone and created the next 5 second viral video for our social media enjoyment. @zaviertorrence Because why are we eating a TUNA MELT on a flight?!? #flying #relatable #travel #traveltok ♬ original sound – naddy – naddy But as these things go, sometimes the reactions are just as viral-worthy as the video itself! And as the New York Post relates in the following story, there were some very good reactions — including a debate about whether or not jail time should, or should not be considered a fitting punishment for the evildoer in question. “[I] strongly believe that people who eat on flights need to be incarcerated for 10 days,” Zavier Torrence wrote on TikTok of a fellow passenger’s controversial meal choice on a Delta flight to Tampa, Florida. In the 5-second clip, uploaded on Dec. 2, Torrence covered his nose from the strong scent that took over the plane. “Why are we eating a tuna melt on a flight?!?” he captioned the viral clip with over 706,000 views. The Florida resident didn’t point out who the tuna lover was but said he wished they opted out of eating it during the flight. Many travelers resonated with Torrence’s disgust in the fishy meal, while others believe people should eat as long as it doesn’t carry a smell. “I have a 10-hour flight coming up…you expect people not to eat during a flight?” questioned one woman. “Hell yeah, I’m eating. Just not a tuna melt,” admitted another. “Tuna on a plane is crazy, but they can eat whatever they want,” one watcher chimed in. “Fish of any kind on a plane is diabolical,” commented one person. “Imma eat, but like Cheez-Its or jerky. I’m so self-aware on planes I could never,” confessed a traveler. “Scented food is a crime, what do you mean a tuna melt?” demanded a TikToker. However, some passengers didn’t seem to care about flight etiquette and chose to eat whatever their appetite deserved. Previously reported by The Post, a female flyer experienced the ultimate inflight faux pas after witnessing her seatmate devour a can of tuna in the air. She detailed the flying fish incident in a TikTok video with over 1.2 million views. “Canned tuna on the plane gotta be up there in terms of crimes against humanity,” lamented the TikTokker, named Ally, in the caption. She was reportedly flying from Anchorage, Alaska to Seattle, Washington, when her neighbor opened a can of tuna 10 minutes into the flight, per a follow-up clip. “I catch it out of the corner of my eye and I’m like ‘That better not be what I think it is,’” she said, but unfortunately it was. And I just so happen to have Ally’s viral tuna video as related in the New York Post story above. But a word of caution; canned tuna must be even worse than a tuna melt in reality, because the language is rough.  (My School Principal grandmother would certainly not approve of this video — you’ve been warned.) @allyjaksen @Bumble Bee Seafoods ♬ oh my god bruh oh hell na man Fox News got in on the action after Torrence’s more recent video, highlighting the discussion surrounding possible jail time that should or should not be associated with such a naughty faux pas as an inflight tuna melt, among other hilarious comments. Zavier Torrence, 25, told Fox News Digital he was on the second leg of his trip from West Virginia to Tampa, Florida, about a week ago when someone in the seat behind him decided to eat a tuna melt – “and it was stinking up the whole entire plane.” Torrence didn’t say anything to the passenger who opted for the toasted fish sandwich — but he did share thoughts with his TikTok followers. “Because why are we eating a tuna melt on a flight?!?” Torrence wrote in the caption of his 5-second video, which showed him covering his nose to shield the strong scent. The video had more than 713,000 views as of Friday afternoon. “I honestly did not expect the video to blow up the way it did,” Torrence said. The popularity of his post might have had something to do with the text he wrote on the video, which said, “Strongly believe that people who eat on flights need to be incarcerated for 10 days.” Several commenters took umbrage with Torrence’s post. “I have a 10-hour flight coming up … You expect people not to eat during a flight?” one person wrote. Others said they would eat on a plane, but not a tuna melt. “It’s office rules,” another person wrote. “Only eat food that is not fragrant, so no fish, no fried items etc. How do we not know this?” Torrence clarified to Fox News Digital that he doesn’t believe people shouldn’t eat on planes. “If you’re hungry, eat,” he said. Rather, said Torrence, they should consider what they’re eating. “I mean, it’s tuna,” he said. “At least have common decency.” Ah — common decency. I’m with Torrence on this one, but I know what my grandmother would say. If you can smuggle it to the bathroom, in private, and somehow dampen the radiating stink of that warm tuna from offensively assaulting the nostrils of poor, innocent bystanders trapped within the confines of your biological attack — okay, have at it. Tuna melt ‘stinking up’ plane prompts fellow passenger’s viral video https://t.co/kpzuyjlpPG — Fox News (@FoxNews) December 7, 2024 Otherwise, just stick with the tuna salad!  You can still hit those macros without hitting everyone’s sensitivities at the same time. But don’t you dare leave it sitting on your tray with that shade panel open, slowly warming to a fragrant faux pas — or it’s straight to the slammer for you.

“Fair is fair.” Those were the words of Lindy Li, appearing on NewsNation’s “Morning in America” show. But Li is a sitting member of the Democratic National Convention’s finance committee.  And when the show host asked her about the likelihood of Pete Hegseth making it through the confirmation process to become President Trump’s Secretary of Defense… I don’t think Li gave the answer she was expecting.  Watch the clip! DNC Finance Committee member Lindy Li audibly shocks Newsnation host after defending Pete Hegseth: Markie Martin: “Do you think Hegseth is about to make it through confirmation hearings?” Lindy Li: “I have personal interactions, because I’ve been on Fox and Friends. I’ve met… pic.twitter.com/VaSLcHEvgj — Eric Abbenante (@EricAbbenante) December 7, 2024 It isn’t every day that a card carrying member of the DNC who has voting power in the democrat’s internal committees comes out swinging for the other side’s players; particularly not for Pete Hegseth, who along with Kash Patel may be the primary threats to the left-leaning Deep State! That is a breath of fresh air indeed to hear Lindy Li give the simple reasoning for her support of Hegseth: “Fair is fair.” Wow!  That’s almost more stunning than a line of democrats abandoning the democratic party, voting for President Trump, and/or re-registering as Republicans! But if THAT all actually happened, it certainly stands to reason that Lindy Li, DNC committee member, can back Pete Hegseth like she just did! Add a point to the board for common decency, another for common sense, and another for TRUTH TELLING! Li even noted out loud that she guessed that NewsNation Host Markie Martin expected her to oppose the nomination outright, according to a report in The Hill. “Maybe you’re looking for someone to oppose the nomination, but I actually have personal interactions… because I’ve been on Fox and Friends, I’ve met Pete, he’s my fellow Princetonian. I actually think he’s a pretty good guy,” Li said on NewsNation’s “Morning in America.” “I’m just here to present the facts as I know it,” Li added after receiving a somewhat surprised reaction from host Markie Martin. Hegseth has come under fire related to allegations of sexual assault connected to an encounter he says was consensual, as well as previous comments he’s made about not allowing women to be in combat roles in the military. He’s also faced allegations of excessive drinking. The New Yorker reported Sunday that Hegseth was forced to step down by two nonprofit advocacy groups he ran due to mismanagement of funds, sexual impropriety and excessive drinking, and NBC News reported Tuesday that Hegseth’s drinking worried colleagues at Fox News, where he was a weekend host until earlier this month. A New York Times story also reported that Hegseth’s mother sent him an email in 2018 accusing him of “routinely mistreating women for years” and displaying a “lack of character.” His mother, Penelope Hegseth, backtracked on those statements in a follow-up message, however, apologizing for her original email, claiming she sent the email “in anger, with emotion” when her son and his wife were going through a divorce. Despite the backlash, Hegseth has vowed not to back down despite facing an uphill battle in the Senate. GOP members in the upper chamber seemed discouraged at Hegseth’s confirmation chances. Before I bring us to the falsehoods that the democrats (and RINO Republicans) have attempted to smear Pete Hegseth with, don’t forget that time Nancy Pelosi explained in detail the process of the “wrap up smear”. Never forget when Nancy Pelosi revealed the Democrat Party’s entire playbook: ‘The Wrap Up Smear’ “You smear somebody with falsehoods and all the rest and then you merchandise it and then you write it and they’ll say, see, it’s reported in the press that this, this, this and… pic.twitter.com/k5Mup1hRzj — Benny Johnson (@bennyjohnson) September 14, 2023 As I alluded to, there are reasons that Lindy Li is able to so casually throw her support behind Pete Hegseth. The fact is… she actually KNOWS the facts, and was not caught up in the “wrap up smear” tactic that Pelosi so eloquently laid out for us back in 2023. And according to a comprehensive piece by Breitbart, here are the facts relating to one of the smear attacks being used in an attempt to thwart Hegseth’s confirmation as Secretary of Defense. A police report from 2017 released this week via a freedom of information request casts doubt on a sexual assault allegation made against President-Elect Donald Trump’s defense secretary nominee, Pete Hegseth. The accuser — whose identity is redacted — claimed Hegseth raped her in 2017 during a Republican women’s conference at a hotel in Monterey, California. According to the accuser, it happened after conference organizers went to the hotel bar after an after-party following that day’s events. However, the police report raised questions about the accuser’s claim, with several eyewitness accounts and surveillance video suggesting she and Hegseth had a consensual sexual encounter she was attempting to hide from her husband — who was staying with her at the same hotel along with their children. Revelations in the police report that cast doubt over the accuser’s rape allegation included: 1. The accuser said she did not remember how she got in Hegseth’s hotel room, but remembered details such as Hegseth allegedly blocking the door with his body and her allegedly saying “no” a lot, and “not much else.” 2. There was no evidence of rape, according to the police report. 3. Earlier in the day of the alleged rape, she texted her husband numerous times about Hegseth, including that the women at the conference were “freaking drooling over him,” and that, “He talks pretty tho.” As the night progressed, she stopped responding to her worried husband’s text messages. 4. A person whose name is redacted but appears to be her husband told police that after she returned to their hotel room, she did not have a hard time walking and was not slurring her words. The accuser told the person believed to be her husband she “must have fallen asleep,” and was apologetic. 5. The accuser later told police that she remembered asking Hegseth if he had a condom. 6. The accuser declined to conduct a “pretext” phone call with Hegseth — where she would call him to discuss the alleged rape with the police listening in. 7. A hotel worker told police he received complaints at approximately 1:30 a.m. from two separate guests that a couple near the pool was causing a disturbance and being loud. The worker went to the pool, and said the accuser apologized for Hegseth’s actions and put her hand and arm on Hegseth’s back and walked him away from the pool area towards buildings 4 and 5 — where Hegseth’s room was located. 8. The hotel worker said Hegseth was “very intoxicated” but the accuser was “standing on her own and was very coherent.” 9. Hotel surveillance video showed the accuser and Hegseth leaving the hotel bar together at approximately 1:15 a.m., with locked arms and heading towards the pool. 10. An eyewitness said she saw the accuser flirting with Hegseth, and the flirting “consisted of touching of the body or arm.” 11. The same eyewitness said she saw the accuser the next morning and that she “did not seem any different and was her normal self.” 12. While Hegseth said he was “buzzed” but not intoxicated, he told police he was led out the bar but could not remember by whom, but described the person’s clothing, which matched the accuser’s dress. 13. Hegseth also said he did not remember being chastised for being too loud by the pool. He said he went back to his hotel room with the accuser, but was confused as to why she stayed in his room. 14. He said “things progressed” between himself and the accuser and that the interaction was consensual. He said they would both stop and say, “we shouldn’t do this,” but things consensually continued. He also confirmed that she asked if he had a condom. 15. Hegseth told police that the accuser showed “early signs of regret,” and told him she would tell her husband she had fallen asleep on a couch in someone else’s room — which tracks with what the person believed to be her husband told police that she had initially told him. When someone is honest, the truth “rings true”, so to speak. And by giving police a truthful and honest explanation for what happened — the good, bad, and ugly — Pete Hegseth may have had to admit some uncomfortable realities that I’m sure he regrets and would rather not share with the public. But in so doing, he clearly established himself as having the strength of character to own up to the reality of a tough situation, including his bad decisions which ultimately enabled a very dangerous situation to occur. Nevertheless… “fair is fair”, as Lindy Li so succinctly stated.  And that’s the truth. Fair is fair.  And it’s about time that people regain the strength of character that would disallow the intentional public smearing of a man or woman when you know the “facts” being lowered against the person are not truly facts. Lindy Li is apparently a person who possess enough grit to walk in that degree of character, at least in this instance — and another I just found after President Trump’s victory. Democrats, we’re gonna keep losing if we attack ALL Trump voters as racists & misogynists Yes, racism & misogyny are factors but they are NOT the only reason why Harris lost Inflation was a HUGE reason We’re gonna keep losing if we denigrate the entire country@tracegallagher pic.twitter.com/9Yr4ZAB2TO — Lindy Li (@lindyli) November 8, 2024 Good for her.  And all the better for the nation as others regain the strength to do the same, on principle — rather than the constant political pragmatic one-upmanship to “win” at any cost.

Ginger Gaetz, the wife of former Florida Congressman Matt Gaetz, suggested that “big news” would come next week regarding Trump’s former attorney general nomination. “Big news coming next week!” she said, accompanied by a picture of Matt Gaetz.

I appreciate their thoughtful feedback – and the incredible support of so many. While the momentum was strong, it is clear that my confirmation was unfairly becoming a distraction to the critical work of the Trump/Vance Transition. There is no time to waste on a needlessly protracted Washington scuffle, thus I’ll be withdrawing my name from consideration to serve as Attorney General. Trump’s DOJ must be in place and ready on Day 1,” Gaetz said. “I remain fully committed to see that Donald J. Trump is the most successful President in history. I will forever be honored that President Trump nominated me to lead the Department of Justice and I’m certain he will Save America,” he added. I had excellent meetings with Senators yesterday.

House lawmakers voted Thursday against releasing the Ethics Committee report into the former Florida representative. #BREAKING — House GOP votes down release of Gaetz ethics reporthttps://t.co/u240pgtRU3 — Washington Examiner (@dcexaminer) December 5, 2024 Per NBC News: House lawmakers voted Thursday against releasing an Ethics Committee report on an exhaustive, yearslong investigation into former Rep. Matt Gaetz, R-Fla., a close ally and confidant of President-elect Donald Trump. Democrats had forced the votes, and Republicans responded by voting to return the matter to the Ethics Committee, ending the fight over the report’s release for now. Whether it ever becomes public remains unknown. Lawmakers voted shortly after the bipartisan Ethics Committee met privately — for a second time in as many months — about whether to make public the report on allegations that Gaetz engaged in illicit drug use and sexual misconduct with a 17-year-old girl and obstructed the House probe, among other claims. But after 2½ hours, the committee panel did not release the report, saying in a statement that it is “continuing to discuss the matter.” Chairman Michael Guest, R-Miss., told reporters the committee would meet again before the end of the year. “I’m not going to speculate on future action that the committee may take,” Guest said when he was asked whether it might still vote to release the report. Gaetz previously confirmed he had no plans to return to Congress. “What is next for Matt Gaetz?” Charlie Kirk asked. “I’m still going to be in the fight, but it’s going to be from a new perch. I do not intend to join the 119th Congress,” Gaetz responded. “Eight years is probably enough time in the United States Congress,” he added.
