Roy Cooper is a fraud. He’s traveling around NC telling people that he was “tough on crime as Attorney General.” However, on his way out the door as North Carolina Governor, Roy Cooper pulled a classic last-minute move: commuting the death sentences of 15 convicted murderers to life without parole on December 31, 2024. These weren’t petty criminals, they were all on death row for first-degree murder, some of the most brutal killings in the state’s history. This was the largest single batch of capital clemency in North Carolina’s history. One stark example from the 15 commuted cases is Christopher Roseboro (also referred to as Christopher Lunore Roseboro), convicted in Gaston County for the brutal 1992 murder and rape of 72-year-old Martha “Gertie” Edwards in her Gastonia home. Don’t let Roy Cooper change the narrative.

The Croissanterie in Little Rock Arkansas is also serving bigotry & intolerance with a side of woke. Arkansas Governor Sarah Huckabee Sanders was "asked" to leave their restaurant while having lunch with friends because her "presence" caused employees to feel threatened uncomfortable because of her political views. The owners a/k/a Karen 1 & Karen 2, Jill McDonald & Wendy Schay will rue the day they threw Sarah out of their restaurant. You can tell people to leave; you are free to say whatever you want but... you are NOT free from backlash. Consequences are delicious 🍻

So far, five Iranian female soccer players are being death-marched back to Iran after their family members were disappeared by the regime. Weird, I didn’t see any Hollywood pins at the Oscars for them.

Bill Clinton received about $15 million for his memoir My Life. Hillary Clinton received about $8 million for her memoir Living History. That’s about $23 million dollars for the memories of two people who testify they can't remember anything.

🚨#BREAKING: A former Winston-Salem NC firefighter, Robert Grier, who turned 104-years-old today, received a special surprise for his birthday... A massive number of firetrucks paraded in front of his front porch to say happy birthday! Mr Grier was one of the first 8 Black firefighters ever to join the fire department in Winston-Salem and served for 30 years. Robert Grier joined the Winston-Salem Fire Department in 1951, more than a decade before racial segregation was outlawed in the United States. When asked if it was hard to integrate he said, "Matter of fact, I think we had fun integrating. We all got together and decided we were going to do this." What most legacy media outlets left out, however, is that Grier said that his unit NEVER fought about race, and they started each day with a devotional and prayer.. "The only answer I know is trust in God and do what you're supposed to do," Grier said. "Love each other even though you are rejected as we were. Just keep going and ignore it. Guess who will win? You will win. You put God in front of you and go forward." You won't hear this in the legacy media!!! Happy 104th Birthday Mr. Grier!!!! 🎉🥳

Retired Army JAG here. And former infantry soldier & officer. And current law professor. And YOU are full of shit. No quarter ORDERS do violate #LOAC. Giving that order is a war crime even if it's not carried out. But that is NOT an order @SecWar @PeteHegseth gave. And that is why you are full of shit. See, I've also trained hundreds of soldiers on LOAC in the applied context. Thousands, actually. And I've advised commanders & decision makers on LOAC in combat, in Afghanistan as Chief of International & Operational Law for CJTF-101/RC-E (OEF XIV). That's why I know the difference between what SECWAR said in a press briefing yesterday & a war crime. Apparently you don't - so I'll do you a favor & spell it out for you step by step, in simple language that you'll hopefully understand. Let's start off with what Hegseth ACTUALLY said: "It's a mess for them. Who's in charge? Iran may not even know. With every passing hour, we know and we know they know, that the military capabilities of their evil regime are crumbling. They can barely communicate, let alone coordinate; they're confused and we know it. Our response? We will keep pressing. We will keep pushing, keep advancing, no quarter, no mercy for our enemies." (war.gov/News/Transcrip…) Alright, if we consider this "no quarter" observation in context, we see Hegseth's intent is to convey that @DeptofWar is going to exert max pressure on our adversary. We know their military capabilities "are crumbling" & we're not going to back off. Keep pushing, keep advancing. "No quarter. No mercy." See, content & intent are important. This is how we differentiate political rhetoric from war crime. Reality from...bullshit. If we go all the way back to Hague, II (1899) & Hague, IV (1907), the Regulations annexed to both Conventions make it forbidden, "To declare that no quarter will be given" (pic 1, from Hague, IV). Seems legit, right? Isn't that what SECWAR just "declared"? Well, if LOAC development stopped at 1907, maybe you could make that argument. But, it didn't. In negotiations for later treaties, delegates decided to be more clear about what exactly that prohibition should entail. So, next we'll consider 2 later treaties 🇺🇸 hasn't ratified but we were deeply involved in shaping - Additional Protocol I (1977) to 1949 Geneva Conventions & Rome Statute @IntlCrimCourt (1998). As we'll see below, these sources confirm Hegseth's political rhetoric is NOT a LOAC violation or war crime...and US DoW doctrine is consistent with relevant text of these treaties. Let's start with AP I. As we see from art. 40, this treaty clarifies (7 decades after Hague IV), "It is prohibited to ORDER that there shall be no survivors, to THREATEN an adversary therewith or to CONDUCT hostilities on this basis" (pic 2). So, 3 specific verbs to highlight + 1 condition. No ordering, threatening, or conducting (verbs) armed hostilities under condition(s) of NO SURVIVORS. Now, reach all the way back in your memory - like 2 minutes ago - when you read actual text of Hegseth's remarks. Do you genuinely believe SECWAR just ordered or threatened there will be no survivors, even if an enemy IRGC member tries to surrender - or that we are now as a result conducting hostilities on that basis? Be honest. Of course not. And no one in the military is going to hear/read his remarks and think, "SECWAR just ordered me to take no prisoners." Seriously. Moving on from AP I, art. 8(2)(b)(xii) of Rome Statute essentially copies text of Hague IV, art. 23(d) to make "declaring no quarter will be given" a war crime (not pictured). BUT the elements of crimes follows AP I (pic 3), as does DoD Law of War Manual (pic 4). Yes, actual no quarter ORDERS do violate LOAC. Just the order alone is a war crime. But max pressure political rhetoric is not the same as an ORDER "that there shall be no survivors." Which means Sec Hegseth's comments are neither LOAC violation nor war crime. Which also means Rep Vindman is full of 💩.

Former Army JAG here. No quarter orders are a violation of the law of war and Geneva conventions. This is the same order reportedly given during the Caribbean boat strikes. @SecWar is establishing a pattern of issuing illegal orders. I’ve trained hundreds of soldiers on the law of war — our service members have an obligation to follow that law.

👇👇👇 LATEST UPDATE | A Secret Service agent protecting Trump just said something that SHOCKED everyone: “Trump has RUINED me - I can never protect another President after him” - and before you think that’s criticism, wait until you hear what he actually MEANS by “ruined,” because his explanation about Trump is making the entire Secret Service agency emotional. Here’s what the agent meant by “Trump ruined me”: This Secret Service agent has protected multiple Presidents before Trump. He was trained professionally. Did his job perfectly. Protected each President the same way - with discipline, distance, and duty. Then he got assigned to protect Trump. And everything CHANGED. The agent explained: “Trump RUINED me for this job. Not because he’s difficult - but because he’s the OPPOSITE. Trump knows my NAME. Every other President called me ‘agent.’ Trump calls me by my actual name. Trump knows my WIFE’S name. My CHILDREN’S names. Asks about my son’s baseball games by name. Trump NOTICES when I’m tired after standing 8 hours and says ‘Sit down, you need rest.’ Trump orders EXTRA food during long days: ‘Make sure my guys eat first.’ Trump attended my FATHER’S FUNERAL when he passed. No cameras. No press. Just came to honor the man who raised the agent protecting him. After experiencing THIS - how can I go back to being called ‘agent’ by future Presidents? After Trump remembered my KIDS’ names, how can I protect someone who won’t even learn MY name? After Trump treated me like FAMILY, how can I go back to being treated like FURNITURE? Trump RUINED me. He raised the bar so high for how Presidents should treat Secret Service that I can NEVER accept the old standard again. That’s what I mean by ruined.” Here’s what this confession proves: Trump didn’t just earn Secret Service protection - he RUINED them for protecting anyone else because once you’re treated like FAMILY, you can’t go back to being equipment. Drop and type: TRUMP RUINED THE STANDARD. Comment: Once treated like FAMILY, can’t go back to FURNITURE - that’s Trump’s effect. Share so people understand: “ruined” = highest compliment. Follow if raising standards inspires. Ruined for good! 🇺🇸

@mattvanswol Matt, he doesn’t make any money in NC or SC. All his kickbacks are from defense contractors so he’s got to keep the war machine going thus all the Ukraine/Israel visits.

Just a gentle reminder that Lindsey Graham lives 1.5 hours from my doorstep. He NEVER CAME TO VISIT US in Western North Carolina a SINGLE TIME after Hurricane Helene. Not once. He has flown to Ukraine 9 times and tries to visit Israel “every 2 weeks”…
