Berlin Left Reeling After German Defeat in UN Election for Seat in the Security Council – Portugal and Austria Are Elected Instead

The decadence of Germany results in ‘bitter defeat’.

 

The United Nations General Assembly held an election for new rotating members of the Security Council for 2027 and 2028 – and it turned into a historical embarrassment for German Chancellor Friedrich Merz’s coalition.

 

German Foreign Minister Johann Wadephul was seen with a somber expression as the results were announced: Portugal and Austria were elected – not Germany.

 

This is being considered the most severe foreign policy defeat for the coalition of Christian Democrats/Christian Social Union (CDU/CSU) and the center-left Social Democratic Party, in office for just over a year – with nothing to celebrate.

Germany is the fourth largest contributor to the UN budget, but that was not enough to secure the necessary votes.

 

“Austria and Portugal had already expressed their interest in a seat on the UN Security Council more than 10 years ago, and had shown up on multiple occasions with a strong government presence at UN headquarters in New York. Chancellor Friedrich Merz, on the other hand, chose not to attend the UN General Assembly last year. Then, as on Wednesday, he sent Wadephul.

 

[…] For Germany, the failure of its bid for a seat on the UN Security Council marks a first. In addition to the five permanent members — the US, China, Russia, France and the United Kingdom — there are 10 non-permanent members who rotate every two years. Since 1987, Germany, one of the world’s most economically powerful countries, had been elected to the body every eight years. That streak is now over.”

FIREWORKS! “You’re Damn Right We’re Deporting You” – Sen Eric Schmitt GOES OFF on Dem Mazie Hirono After She Argues Fraudsters, Murderers, and Terrorists Shouldn’t be Denaturalized

Senator Eric Schmitt (R-MO) went off on Senator Mazie Hirono (D-HI) during a Thursday committee hearing, where she shamelessly defended violent illegal alien criminals, including murderers, rapists, and fraudsters.

During the Senate Judiciary Committee hearing, titled “Protecting American Citizenship III: Denaturalization and its Constitutional Limits,” Horino went on an unhinged tirade, accusing the Trump Administration of “terrorizing immigrant communities” and defending immigrants who are convicted of heinous crimes.

“I happen to be the only naturalized citizen sitting on this committee, and I am horrified by the implication that naturalized citizens basically get second-class citizenship,” she screeched. “As a naturalized citizen, I’m proud of it. I can’t think of a more undemocratic, un-American thing to do to someone who chooses to become a US citizen to hold this over their heads and treat us like second-class citizens.”

Hirono claims this would “impose even more requirements on naturalized citizens than we do on citizens.”

“We can talk about people 10 years later who commit murder, heinous acts, but the SCAM act also allows people to be prosecuted for welfare fraud,” she admitted in her attack on the bill. Still, she claimed that “anybody” could be accused of welfare fraud, and “24 million people who are naturalized in our country are going to be subjected to this kind of so-called oversight.”

“To say the least, it’s more than astounding. Should be unconstitutional,” she said.

 

Schmitt then went off on Hirono, slamming her for defending rapists, murderers, terrorists, and foreign fraudsters.

“Speaking of astounding, your comments are astounding, Senator,” Schmitt opened his comments. “You mention a few words: horrific. I think, to the American taxpayer, that’s been ripped off by people who came to this country to rip them off, that’s horrific.”

“You talk about bizarre,” he said as Hirono attempted to interrupt, then he fired back, “No, no, no. It’s my time now. It’s my time. You went over time. It’s my time.”

“Bizarre is the idea that you would be here in this committee defending violent murderers from being deported. That you would be defending violent rapists from being deported. That you would defend people who took advantage of the good people of this country, their taxpayer dollars. That is bizarre,” Schmitt continued after the interruption. “A terrorist who kills American citizens, you know what’s bizarre is your defense of that. So, forgive me if your 24 million Americans should be— or nationalized citizens, should be afraid, that’s ridiculous.”

“No, no, no, you have nothing but fear mongering. Here, what I’m saying in this bill is, if you do those things, the American people, if you take advantage of taxpayers– You’re not recognized,” he continued over Hirono’s repeated attempts to interrupt.

“If you commit a terrorist act, if you commit wholesale welfare fraud within 10 years, you’re damn right we’re deporting you! If you’re convicted— it’s not being accused of anything— if you are convicted in a court of law of these crimes, absolutely, we should not only convict you, but we should deport you. Gone!”

DEVELOPING: Pulte to Fire “Large Number” of Deep State Intel Community Members

Acting DNI Bill Pulte is preparing to fire a “large number” of Deep State Intel Community members.

 

According to The Wall Street Journal, President Trump has urged Bill Pulte to “start the process” of firing intel officials.

 

President Trump said he wants to reduce the size of the federal intel agencies.

 

The Wall Street Journal reported:

 

President Trump said he wants Bill Pulte, his incoming acting director of national intelligence, to begin the process of firing a large number of employees as part of a shake-up of the U.S. intelligence community.

In an interview with The Wall Street Journal on Friday, Trump said he has privately told Pulte that he believes the Office of the Director of National Intelligence, or ODNI, which oversees 18 federal intelligence agencies and units, is “unnecessary and/or too big.”

“I’d like to see it smaller. I think there are a lot of people in there that shouldn’t be there,” Trump said, pointing to holdovers from the Biden and Obama administrations. Asked whether he is calling on Pulte to fire people, Trump said he wants him to “start the process,” adding that his eventual nominee to serve in the role permanently should continue that work.

Trump stunned many of his own advisers when he said earlier this week that he was appointing Pulte, the director of the Federal Housing Finance Agency, as his intelligence chief. The move was met with skepticism from some Republicans on Capitol Hill, who raised concerns about Pulte’s lack of national-security experience.
