After reading this I've now reached levels of support for Hegseth over DoD that I didn't think possible.
We may be in fan boy territory, which is uncommon for me.

The Shitshow Macro Weekly Wrapup for Friday, December 6, 2024 is out:
Domestic:
-A Chinese national living illegally in California has been arrested and charged with conspiring to procure restricted weapons and military-grade technology for North Korea.

-The same DOJ that recently said use of encrypted messaging apps was “proof” of illegal activity is now urging Americans to use encrypted messaging apps after China hacked their domestic spying panopticon using the Salt Typhoon:

-The CEO of the world’s largest health insurer (UHC) got merc’d in downtown NYC on his way to an investor’s meeting this week, and the entire internet became weapons & assassin experts.
--Pro-tip: No you’re not. Neither are the randos you’re following on social media.
-The former Marine-turned Good Samaritan in NYC (Daniel Penny) jury has been in deliberation for several days, but there were some significant audibles today.
--To begin with, in this trial it’s already come out that Neely was still alive when NYPD took possession of him.
--Video of the prosecutor admitting to downgrading charges against previous actual murders due to immutable characteristics (skin color) have been made public.
--There are 2 charges against Penny: Count 1 is manslaughter, Count 2 is negligent homicide.
--After several days of deliberation and a “hung jury” on Count 1, the prosecutor moved to drop Count 1 and move forward with Count 2 - which seems to defy the jury instructions.
--They plan to be back in court on Monday, so we’ll see what happens.

-Following close on the heels of the Marc Andreesen interview with Joe Rogan re: Liz Warren and debanking tech founders, the House Judiciary dropped a report today on the Biden-Harris admin weaponizing the USGOV to snoop on Americans’ bank records without warrants.
--According to their report, there were over 3mm warrantless searches conducted by 14,000 USGOV employees on Americans’ bank accounts.

-Joe pardoned his son Hunter last week, despite saying for quite some time that he wouldn’t.
--While that could be seen through a lens of empathy by any father (even those of us who don't raise crackhead & international crime spree sons), the latest potential move being floated to the media cannot.
--The scuttlebutt this week is laying out potential “considerations” of blanket preemptive pardons for anyone Joe (more likely his handlers) deem the Trump admin may actually hold accountable for their crimes.
--This could be simply a trial balloon to test how palatable it would be with the public. If they were to do this, it may not hold up in legal tests to pardon someone for a crime that hasn’t even been tried or sentenced in any court yet.
-For my Texas friends, family, and future neighbors, Dade Phelan, who led the impeachment activities against AG Ken Paxton, has been removed from his position as Texas House Speaker.
-Peter Navarro, one of only 2 people who I know of that accurately predicted our current economic situation if Biden-Harris took office, has been named as Trump’s Senior Counselor for Trade and Manufacturing.
--Steve Cortes was the other.
War/Military:
-An IAF airstrike in Khan Younis (a declared “humanitarian zone”) killed Hamas commanders and others.
--The IDF claims the targets of these strikes were committing terrorist actions within the zone. Secondary explosions after the strike seem to back those claims up.

---Rebels in Syria have captured the city of Hama, seen by many strategists as a “road to Damascus” and a critical logistics line for the Syrian government.
RUS Wagner Mercs landed this week to begin aiding the GOV forces, and several leaders of the nations who are engaged in this conflict - some publicly and some not (RUS, Iran, Turkey, Syria) are allegedly meeting today (Friday).
