10/24/25 9:33 PM

President Donald Trump's deputy chief of staff didn't discount the idea of sending American soldiers to fight on the ground in Venezuela. Speaking to the press on Friday, Stephen Miller was asked, "Would the administration consider putting troops on the ground in any capacity in Venezuela?"His answer wasn't "no," remarked influencer Joanne Carducci, whose X handle is @JoJoFromJerz. Instead, Miller said, "These are terrorists and they're gonna be killed.""My kingdom for ANY journalist to follow up on a @stephenm comment abt terrorism w/Q about: 1) The adjudged terrorists who attacked the Capitol who Trump freed on his first day on the job, 2) The terrorists that Changpeng Zhao, whom Trump ALSO pardoned, helped launder money," remarked national security expert Marcy Wheeler. "If @StephenM believes he can just kill terrorists will no due process, will he do that to Joe Biggs? Stewart Rhodes? Donald Trump did not PARDON either of them, leaving the terrorism judgment intact," she added."They are going to start war over oil and say it is to protect the USA from 'Narco Terrorists,'" commented lawyer Alvin R. Garcia.CNN reporter Kit Maher wrote on X, "Miller doesn't say whether the administration would consider putting US troops on ground in Venezuela in any capacity, but reiterates position on 'fighting terrorists in the Western hemisphere:' 'These are terrorists and they're going to be killed.'""What Miller is advocating is state terrorism. He should be behind bars," retired diplomat Frank Cogan said on X. Author Jennifer Erin Valent wrote, "You don’t have to be a pacifist or naive about the realities of evil in this world to believe that there is something wrong with people who flippantly speak about killing people. I will say again and again, this administration is sadistic."

'Fell for it again': Pete Hegseth ridiculed by both sides over 'God bless China' comment

11/02/25 2:24 PM

U.S. Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth was ridiculed over the weekend after a statement in which he announced closer cooperation with China and declared, "God bless both China and the USA!"Hegseth on Saturday took to social media to disclose the new stance toward a nation previously treated as an adversary by the administration."I just spoke to President Trump, and we agree — the relationship between the United States and China has never been better. Following President Trump’s historic meeting with Chairman Xi in South Korea, I had an equally positive meeting with my counterpart, China’s Minister of National Defense Admiral Dong Jun in Malaysia. And we spoke again last night. The Admiral and I agree that peace, stability, and good relations are the best path for our two great and strong countries," Hegseth wrote. "As President Trump said, his historic 'G2 meeting' set the tone for everlasting peace and success for the U.S. and China."Hegseth added, "The Department of War will do the same — peace through strength, mutual respect, and positive relations. Admiral Dong and I also agreed that we should set up military-to-military channels to deconflict and deescalate any problems that arise. We have more meetings on that coming soon. God bless both China and the USA!"That comment led to some outrage from critics and observers who support the administration.Conservative ex-GOP lawmaker Adam Kinzinger replied with this quote, “Oceania was at war with Eurasia; therefore Oceania had always been at war with Eurasia," along with a meme of a man wearing a MAGA hat and the words "fell for it again.""God bless both China……. wtf???? Dude" he added.Trump-supporting I Love America News wrote "Meanwhile in China," along with the Chinese leader appearing to read "The Art of the Deal" by Trump. Several other accounts shared similar memes.Gary P. Nabhan, a user who frequently shares and supports comments made by Hegseth, asked him, "How will you deconflict when China invades Taiwan? Or have you already signaled China that you won’t oppose the invasion?"Michael D. Swaine of the Quincy Institute said, "Golly Gee, that's just great Petey. All problems and bad blood gone, poof. We are now bosom buddies, so all those past defense documents, presidential statements, Congressional bills, etc. that spoke of China seeking to overturn the global order, displace the US from Asia, suppress other countries etc., etc., were silly goofs. A couple of meetings and all is well. Boy is Trump a genius or what?! Why do we even need diplomacy or the military for that matter. (except to attack Americans and murder people Donnie doesn't like, of course). Who knew that international relations was so easy?!!"Podcaster Spencer Hakimian chimed in, "Hegseth TACO’ing on China. Wow."
