Concha joined Fox News’s Hannity on Thursday to discuss the video, which features Sens. Elissa Slotkin (D-MI) and Mark Kelly (D-AZ) and Reps. Jason Crow (D-CO), Maggie Goodlander (D-NH), Chris Deluzio (D-PA), and Chrissy Houlahan (D-PA). The lawmakers, all military veterans, warn of “threats to our Constitution” and repeatedly tell military and intelligence personnel to refuse unlawful commands, though they do not specify what orders they consider illegal.
Concha said their message undermines the principle of civilian control of the armed forces.
“The president is called the commander in chief for a reason,” Concha said. “He gives a command, and the military follows that command — no ambiguity, no interpretation, no debate. That’s how it’s always been and how it should be.”
Concha questioned what would happen if service members decided mid-mission that they believed an assignment might be unlawful.
There’s a great, laughable irony about a group that claims to want to save the planet, and is willing to resort to thuggery when anyone questions their methods. But the climate-panic group Extinction Rebellion (ER) is one such group. At a recent meeting in Hampton, United Kingdom, an event called “Climate Reality – What’s causing climate change and what can we do about it,” one attendee stood up and questioned not the ER message, but their methods.
What happened then? They silenced him, threw him out, and beat him up.
After the usual cycle of ‘doom, death’ and despair’ followed by the standard ‘if we just spend a lot of money on renewable energy, we’ll save the planet’ narrative the floor was opened for questions.
A few questions in, a gentleman stood up and said that while he agreed with the urgency of the message, the tactics of Extinction Rebellion alienate people rather than persuading them. The panel began interrupting him, urging him to “ask his question or stop” in a rather patronising tone. He calmly continued, explaining how such tactics damage public support. This clearly irritated one of the speakers, a schoolteacher-turned-activist who had moments earlier described how “exciting and fun” activism could be.
House Committee on Oversight and Government Reform Chairman James Comer (R-Ky.) warned Bill and Hillary Clinton Friday that if they continue to ignore deposition subpoenas regarding their history with Jeffrey Epstein, he will initiate contempt proceedings.
The House Oversight Committee is conducting a review of the federal government’s investigation into convicted sex offender Jeffrey Epstein and his accomplice Ghislaine Maxwell, focused on potential mismanagement of the case, the circumstances surrounding Epstein’s death, his trafficking network, and possible ethics violations by elected officials.
Comer sent a letter to Clinton attorney David Kendall, emphasizing that the Clintons are required to comply with House subpoenas and appear for scheduled in-person depositions.
According to the chairman, Democrats and Republicans on the Oversight Committee approved a motion to issue the subpoenas back in July.
The Democrats continue to embarrass themselves over the Jeffrey Epstein matter.
I reported on Democrat Rep. Jasmine Crockett’s (TX-30) shameless efforts to link Republicans to Epstein donations to deflect from the fact that the convicted sex offender donated to Democrat Delegate Stacey Plaskett, the non-voting delegate from the Virgin Islands.
President Donald Trump has offered a preview of his highly anticipated meeting with New York City’s newly elected socialist mayor.
Trump’s meeting with Mayor-elect Zohran Mamdani (D) in the Oval Office Friday afternoon is proving to be one of the most highly anticipated sit-downs of his second term. Trump described Mamdani, a staunch progressive and outspoken critic of the president, as “a little bit different” but remained optimistic about the meeting.
‘I give him a lot of credit.’
“He’s got a different philosophy,” Trump told Brian Kilmeade Friday. “He’s a little bit different.”
One of the focal points of Mamdani’s campaign was affordability, an issue that has also been a pillar of Trump’s administration. Although their respective solutions to address affordability are at odds, Trump maintained that the two New Yorkers are ultimately “looking for the same thing.”
The Trump administration is urging Ukraine to sign a new peace proposal by Thanksgiving or risk losing U.S. support, according to Friday reports from The Washington Post and Axios.
U.S. Army Secretary Daniel Driscoll delivered the message to Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy on Thursday.
He presented a version of the 28-point plan drafted by Trump’s special envoy Steve Witkoff and Russian envoy Kirill Dmitriev.
Officials told The Post that the plan includes steep concessions from Ukraine to bring an end to the three-year war.
They include a major reduction of its armed forces and the ceding of territory that Russia has not taken by force.
The Trump administration is threatening to hit Pennsylvania where it hurts, warning the state it could lose tens of millions in federal dollars after a suspected terrorist managed to snag a commercial truck license.
Federal officials say Pennsylvania broke safety rules by handing out non-domiciled Commercial Driver’s Licenses to foreign nationals who shouldn’t have qualified. In a letter to state leaders, the Department of Transportation said Pennsylvania issued CDLs to migrants without verifying their legal status. Transportation Secretary Sean Duffy said the agency will withhold $75 million in federal funding unless Harrisburg cleans up its CDL program quickly.
The fight erupted after the arrest of Akhror Bozorov, an illegal migrant from Uzbekistan accused back home of ties to terrorism. Bozorov, who authorities say spread jihadist propaganda online and recruited for extremist groups, picked up a Pennsylvania-issued CDL before immigration agents arrested him this month.
Parents at a North Carolina high school are unhappy with school officials who allegedly gave them a questionnaire about their prejudices — with “right” and “wrong” answers.
Now, they’re blowing the whistle on Piedmont High School in North Carolina, which allegedly distributed the “quiz.”
According to a report from Libs of TikTok on social media, several screenshots purport to show the test from the Unionville school, with one student’s answers to them.
“A parent confirmed that their child was explicitly told there are ‘right’ and ‘wrong’ answers, and that the assignment will affect their grade,” the Thursday post stated.
As more candidates throw their hats in the ring ahead of the 2026 midterms, yet another Democrat has joined the fray to succeed one of the most infamous governors in America.
Anti-Trump Democrat Rep. Eric Swalwell announced on Thursday that he will be running for governor of California in 2026.
‘I love California. It’s the greatest country in the world.’
Swalwell, who spearheaded Trump’s second impeachment, made the announcement on a segment of “Jimmy Kimmel Live,” a show for which President Trump has repeatedly expressed his distaste.
The Zohran is meeting with President Donald Trump today. It’s not until 3:00 this afternoon, and I’ll be well into the bourbon by then, but I’m sure the content that comes from the meeting will be delightful if you ignore the fact that the incoming mayor of the most important city on the planet is a commie theater kid. My gut says he gets Zelenskyy’d as he attempts to lecture Trump on international law and how there will be no more deportations under The Zohran’s eye.
I hope they discuss economics, because The Zohran gave a clue on how he is going to get money for his free buses in New York City. All it will take is for them to raise taxes on everyone else in New York STATE so that he gets the cash.
REPORTER: How are you getting the $700M to make the buses free if the Governor is not for raising taxes?
THE ZOHRAN: Through the raising of the state’s corporate tax.”
REPORTER: But she said no…
THE ZOHRAN: The most important fact is that we fund it, not the question of how we do it.
Using those specific words doesn’t really leave much to the imagination does it?
The Times of Israel reports:
Cornell grad student union adds resistance ‘by any means’ to anti-Israel resolution
Cornell University’s graduate student union has added support for Palestinian armed resistance “by any means necessary” to a resolution calling for a boycott of Israel that the union will discuss on Thursday.
The union, Cornell Graduate Students United — UE Local 300, in October issued a draft of the resolution to members, titled “International solidarity with the Palestinian liberation struggle.”
The resolution said Cornell was rooted in “US settler-colonialism and an imperial project of white supremacy bent on profiting from the erasure of the Palestinian people.”
The construction industry’s use of illegal labor force has been revealed by the Trump administration’s “Operation Charlotte’s Web” in Charlotte, North Carolina.
Construction has reportedly come to a near halt in Charlotte as the Trump administration’s immigration campaign remains in full swing.
Reports of stymied construction projects have flooded social media during the first week of the immigration enforcement operation.
A man who claims to be a subcontractor in the construction industry in Charlotte posted a video blasting ICE for chasing off the workers he usually encounters every day.
In other social media posts, Mexican restaurants are closing up shop since so many illegals are no longer out and about in the town. In one, an ice cream shop owner said he has told his Hispanic employees to stay home.
Another man hyperbolically complained that “no one is safe,” despite that immigration agents are only seeking lawbreaking illegals.
One man working at a Charlotte barber shop told agents he became a naturalized U.S. citizen ten years ago, but can’t say it to the agents in English.
The Council on American‑Islamic Relations (CAIR), the nation’s largest Muslim civil‑liberties group, filed a federal lawsuit against Texas Governor Greg Abbott after he designated CAIR and the Muslim Brotherhood as foreign terrorist and transnational criminal organizations. CAIR called the designation “unconstitutional and defamatory.”
Abbott’s proclamation, which bars the groups and affiliates from acquiring land in Texas and authorizes heightened enforcement actions, drew immediate backlash from CAIR, which blasted the designation as “unconstitutional and defamatory” and accused the governor of targeting American Muslims for their advocacy.
Listening to Gavin Newsom talk about “free and fair elections” is like listening to Yoko Ono sing. It just doesn’t sound right. In both cases, it’s very wrong.
But Newsom, born without the encumbrance of integrity, insists on lecturing Republicans about election integrity.
“Donald Trump and Greg Abbott played with fire, got burned — and democracy won,” the leftist California governor stricken with political delusions of grandeur gloated on X this week after a federal court panel in a 2-1 ruling blocked Texas from implementing a mid-decade revision to its U.S. House map. Republicans have appealed the decision, which the dissenting judge excoriated as “the most blatant exercise of judicial activism” he has witnessed in his 37 years on the federal bench.
Donald Trump and Greg Abbott played with fire, got burned — and democracy won.
This ruling is a win for Texas, and for every American who fights for free and fair elections. https://t.co/gyXPoVFMmC

That according to Vanderbilt University political science professor Josh Clinton, co-director of the Vanderbilt Unity Poll, which recently queried 1,033 adults from Nov. 7 to Nov. 10 about pressing higher education issues.
“They don’t want professors using the classroom to push political views, and they don’t want politicians trying to dictate what happens in higher education. People want education to be about education,” Clinton said in a news release regarding the results.
You just knew the moment President Trump posted remarks about a handful of Democrats engaging in sedition and treason on social media, along with the accompanying punishment for such acts, that the press was going to jump all over him for it.
From our watchtower here at the Media Research Center, we have identified a recent and nasty trend emerging from the Elitist Media. It’s called “Trumpwashing”: that phenomenon wherein the media withhold covering some Democrat scandal until President Donald Trump opines on it, with President Trump’s statement being covered as if it were the scandal, rather than the underlying and until now suppressed Democrat event.
The latest instance of a Trumpwashed scandal: the video, published by six Democrat members of Congress calling on members of the Armed Forces and Intelligence Agencies to disobey unspecified “illegal” orders. The media held their tongues on the video until Trump spoke up, and the rest is history.
As an evidentiary sample, we submit for your consideration the totality of the Trumpwashed report aired on NBC Nightly News (click “expand” to view full transcript):
A woman was set on fire on the train in Chicago by a man with 22 prior arrests.
“She had severe burns all over her upper torso and half of her scalp was burnt off. She was lucid and conscious and talking.”
No worries that silver-spooned landfill Pritzker says the state is safer than ever and he doesn’t need the National Guard.
We shouldn’t have to live like this.

Rep. Jasmine Crockett (D-Texas) has publicly beclowned herself for the second time in a week by falsely accusing several Republican politicians of taking money from “somebody named Jeffrey Epstein.”
“Folks who also took money from somebody named Jeffrey Epstein, as I had my team dig in very quickly—Mitt Romney, the NRCC, Lee Zeldin, George Bush, McCain-Palin,” Crocket declared on the House floor on Tuesday.
Federal campaign finance records show that Epstein donated primarily to Democrats, including two current sitting members of Congress, Delegate Stacy Plaskett (D-V.I) and Senator Chuck Schumer (D-N.Y.), both of whom have retained the donations, despite scrutiny.
Even worse, newly released documents from Epstein’s estate include text messages between Plaskett and Epstein that show he advised her on what questions to ask President Trump’s former attorney Michael Cohen during a 2019 congressional hearing.
The Democratic National Committee posted and then quickly removed a claim on X that President Donald Trump spent Thanksgiving with Jeffrey Epstein in 2017, based on an unconfirmed email from the convicted sex offender released in a House Oversight Committee probe.
White House records and media reports confirm Trump was at Mar-a-Lago in Palm Beach, Florida, with family, staff, and military personnel that day. The incident, occurring amid ongoing Epstein document disclosures, prompted backlash from Trump supporters, who accused the DNC of spreading false information.
Journalist Andy Ngo spotted the deletion and pointed out the absurdity of the claims. “The official
@TheDemocrats X account tweeted out a lie from Jeffrey Epstein that President Trump spent Thanksgiving 2017 with him,” Ngo wrote.
The Satanic Temple (TST) has made quite a name for itself with its push for abortion. In 2023, they opened an online abortion clinic called the “Samuel Alito’s Mom’s Satanic Abortion Clinic,” and last year, they opened the “Right to Your Life Satanic Abortion Clinic” in Virginia.
TST, based in Massachusetts, has made it very clear that they view abortion as a religious right and a “sacrament.” In Idaho, they filed suit against the state’s anti-abortion laws on the grounds of religious freedom. According to the Idaho Statesman, the suit claimed “The ban extracted economic value from pregnant women’s wombs, in violation of the Fifth Amendment; effectively made pregnant women slaves, in violation of the 13th Amendment; gave unconstitutional preferences to rape victims, in violation of the 14th Amendment; and violated Idaho’s religious freedom statutes.”
Yesterday, a judge dismissed those claims.
Victory: Satan lost in Idaho! The Satanic Temple just lost its lawsuit claiming abortion is a “religious right.” Sorry, child sacrifice isn’t protected under freedom of religion.https://t.co/oBMs0ZrsOS

A religious organization that says it encourages benevolence and empathy challenged Idaho’s abortion ban after the U.S. Supreme Court overturned Roe v. Wade in 2022. On Monday, the case came to a close.
“California’s redistricting scheme is a brazen power grab that tramples on civil rights and mocks the democratic process.”
The US Department of Justice has filed suit against California Governor Gavin Newsom and Secretary of State Shirley Weber, alleging that the state’s newly enacted congressional map violates the Equal Protection Clause of the 14th Amendment.
The legal challenge targets the redistricting framework created under Proposition 50, which shifted responsibility for drawing congressional districts from an independent commission to the state legislature. The new map favors Democrats in the upcoming 2026 midterms.
Remember the 2011 Republican presidential debate when then-Texas Gov. Rick Perry blanked on one of the three federal agencies he campaigned on getting rid of if elected president? It was an unforgettable moment, particularly for Perry.
“And I will tell you, it’s three agencies of government when I get there that are gone: Commerce, Education and the, um, what’s the third one there?” he said, looking like a deer in headlights as the bright lights of the stage washed over him. He tried again. Nope.
RINO Mitt Romney tried to provide a lifeline.
“The EPA?” the former Massachusetts governor offered. Perry should have phoned a friend. “EPA, there you go,” Perry agreed, momentarily relieved. But the Environmental Protection Agency wasn’t the answer.
Perry tried one last time. “The third agency of government I would do away with — the education, the uh, the commerce and let’s see. I can’t the third one. I can’t. Sorry Oops.”
Democrats recently released some bits and pieces from Jeffrey Epstein’s private emails.
Once again, it proved to be a total nothing burger.
More on that here:
New Epstein Files Leaked By Dems, Once Again A Big “Nothing Burger”
However, that didn’t stop Democrats from throwing out some wild accusations.
In one of the emails, Jeffrey Epstein references “trump” while talking about plans for Thanksgiving of 2017.
That was enough for Democrats to jump to conclusions and celebrate that they finally caught President Trump doing something wrong!
Hoover Institution Senior Fellow Victor Davis Hanson said on Fox News Thursday evening that Democratic California Gov. Gavin Newsom “lost the narrative” on climate change as many people continue to distance themselves from the “green” movement.
Newsom, widely considered a frontrunner to win the 2028 Democratic presidential nomination, attended the 2025 United Nations Climate Change Conference (COP30) in Brazil, where he called President Donald Trump an “invasive species.” The conference kicked off Monday. Hanson said Newsom and his allies who support strict regulations to combat climate change increasingly find themselves in the minority.
“I think Gavin Newsom is a reactionary. They have lost the narrative. The world has passed them by,” Hanson told host Laura Ingraham on “The Ingraham Angle.”
The House Judiciary Subcommittee on the Constitution and Limited Government holds a hearing on the inaccuracies of the 2020 census counting illegal aliens on Wednesday, November 19.
“The census’s counting of illegal immigrants is unconstitutional, leads to inaccurate results and the disenfranchisement of American voters in certain states, and benefits states that intentionally disregard federal immigration law via ‘sanctuary’ policies,” the committee noted.
The hearing will also examine how the Census Bureau’s counting errors “benefitted mostly blue states” and privatization of data “may have led to inaccurate population estimates in the 2020 census.”
Democrats were left with a heaping helping of egg on their face after another attempt to link President Trump to Jeffrey Epstein failed, forcing them to scramble to delete the flimsy “evidence” involving their latest baseless claim.
The Democratic National Committee’s official X account on Thursday posted and then quickly deleted a claim alleging the President spent Thanksgiving 2017 with Jeffrey Epstein.
Using incredibly out-of-context emails, the DNC made it clear that they were offering evidence that “documents show Donald Trump spent Thanksgiving with Jeffrey Epstein in 2017.”
Whoever pushed out that message clearly struggles with reading comprehension and didn’t for a moment wonder about the plausibility of the leader of the free world sneaking out of Turkey Day celebrations to pal around with a convicted sex offender for a few hours … without anybody noticing.
Canada’s spiraling euthanasia system is once again under fire as heartbreaking new accounts reveal that a surging number of patients are being forced into “choosing” the government’s “assisted suicide” death program after being denied actual medical care under the nation’s collapsing socialized healthcare model.
An alarming number of Canadians are reporting that they have no other choice but to agree to be euthanized by the government, despite the supposed availability of treatments for their conditions.
As Slay News has previously reported, the government’s Medical Assistance in Dying (MAiD) program is now saving tens of millions of dollars a year.
In 2024, the government saved over $136 million by euthanizing patients instead of treating them.
… Patel then pointed out the bombshell that dropped just weeks ago. According to him, former CIA Director Gina Haspel “authorized six case officers and intelligence analysts to be paid off so that they would change their assessment on COVID originations.”
“That’s a CIA institutional decision to spend taxpayer dollars to lie to the world where COVID came from because it fit the narrative that Fauci and the media wanted out there, along with Gina Haspel, because she didn’t want Donald Trump to get the credit for reading the intel right and making the hard right decision,” he said.
That accusation tracks with years of bureaucratic sabotage aimed at undermining Trump, especially on issues where he refused to bow to elite groupthink. According to Patel’s findings, the CIA took extraordinary measures to conceal the truth. The agency used public money to manipulate analysts, rewrite assessments, and bury an origin story that threatened the political storyline the left had banked everything on. Trump was right about China. Fauci was wrong. The media was wrong. And the bureaucracy moved heaven and earth to keep that reality under wraps.
