BREAKING: Secretary of Defense Pete Hegseth has just CANCELED the US Department of Defense\u2019s reliance on \u201ccheap Chinese labor\u201d for their cloud services, an Obama-era program.<\/p>\n
Sec Hegseth: \u201cEarlier this week, we were alerted to a potential vulnerability in our DoD computer systems, and we\u2019ve been checking into it ever since. It turns out that some tech companies have been using cheap Chinese labor to assist with DoD cloud services. This is obviously unacceptable, especially in today\u2019s digital threat environment.<\/p>\n
Now, this was a legacy system created over a decade ago during the Obama administration. But we have to ensure that the digital systems that we use here at the Defense Department are ironclad and impenetrable.<\/p>\n
And that\u2019s why today I\u2019m announcing that China will no longer have any involvement whatsoever in our cloud services effective immediately.<\/p>\n
And at my direction, the Department will also initiate, as fast as we can, a two-week review\u2014or faster\u2014to make sure that what we uncovered isn\u2019t happening anywhere else across the DoD.<\/p>\n
We will continue to monitor and counter all threats to our military infrastructure and online networks. And I want to thank all those Americans out there in the media and elsewhere who raised this issue to our attention so we could address it.<\/p>\n
And that\u2019s why we\u2019re talking to you today. As the President would say, thank you for your attention to this matter, and God bless our warfighters. I\u2019m going to sign that memo right now, initiating that review.\u201d<\/p>\n
FBI Director Kash Patel stood firm against relentless Democratic attacks during congressional hearings this week, defending the integrity of the bureau while exposing the partisan theatrics of Senators and Representatives obsessed with political theater. Democrats pressed him on the handling of the Jeffrey Epstein case and the recent assassination of conservative activist Charlie Kirk, but Patel remained unshaken, emphasizing law, evidence, and accountability over political grandstanding.<\/p>\n
During the House Judiciary Committee hearing on September 17, 2025, Representative Jamie Raskin (D-MD) accused Patel of withholding critical information on Epstein. Patel firmly rejected the charge, stating, \u201cI\u2019m not going to break the law to satisfy your curiosity.\u201d He made clear that the FBI had released all documents allowed by law, insisting that further disclosures required judicial approval.<\/p>\n
Representative Eric Swalwell (D-CA) tried to twist Patel\u2019s refusal into an implication of guilt, claiming it showed a \u201cconsciousness of guilt.\u201d Patel called out the baseless accusation, replying bluntly, \u201cbulls**t,\u201d leaving Democrats sputtering and highlighting the hollowness of their attacks.<\/p>\n
In the Senate Judiciary Committee the day before, Senator Cory Booker (D-NJ) accused Patel of weakening national security. Patel countered, asserting, \u201cBooker\u2019s rant of false information does not bring this country together. It\u2019s my time, not yours.\u201d When Booker cried, \u201cMy God! My God!\u201d the spectacle only underscored the Democrats\u2019 desperation.<\/p>\n

Representative Eric Swalwell (D-CA) tried to twist Patel\u2019s refusal into an implication of guilt, claiming it showed a \u201cconsciousness of guilt.\u201d Patel called out the baseless accusation, replying bluntly, \u201cbulls**t,\u201d leaving Democrats sputtering and highlighting the hollowness of their attacks.<\/p>\n
In the Senate Judiciary Committee the day before, Senator Cory Booker (D-NJ) accused Patel of weakening national security. Patel countered, asserting, \u201cBooker\u2019s rant of false information does not bring this country together. It\u2019s my time, not yours.\u201d When Booker cried, \u201cMy God! My God!\u201d the spectacle only underscored the Democrats\u2019 desperation.<\/p>\n
Senator Adam Schiff (D-CA) tried to intimidate Patel over the handling of Ghislaine Maxwell\u2019s prison transfer. Patel called him a \u201cpolitical buffoon,\u201d exposing Schiff\u2019s theatrics and partisan obsession. When Schiff suggested undue influence, Patel stood firm, refusing to bow to baseless insinuations.<\/p>\n
Patel\u2019s hearings made it clear that Democrats were more interested in political attacks than justice. He repeatedly defended the FBI\u2019s swift response in the Charlie Kirk assassination, noting that a suspect was apprehended within 36 hours. \u201cOur agents acted decisively and within legal bounds,\u201d he said. \u201cThe safety of American citizens is our top priority, not political theater.\u201d<\/p>\n
When Democrats tried to accuse the FBI of selectively releasing documents to shield political allies, Patel hit back. \u201cI do not engage in cover-ups, and I will not tolerate baseless attacks on my integrity or the FBI\u2019s mission,\u201d he said, demonstrating unshakable resolve in the face of partisan pressure.<\/p>\n
Booker suggested political bias affected investigations, but Patel dismissed the claim: \u201cSenator Booker, your accusations are unfounded. Our focus is law enforcement, not politics.\u201d<\/p>\n
Schiff attempted to leverage Epstein\u2019s connections to attack Patel personally. Patel responded, \u201cWe follow evidence, not rumors. Allegations are not facts. The FBI releases what the law allows and protects citizens\u2019 rights in the process.\u201d<\/p>\n
Patel also called out Democrats for their melodrama. \u201cThis is about public safety, not spectacle,\u201d he said. \u201cThe American people deserve accountability, not a partisan circus.\u201d<\/p>\n
Representative Raskin tried to paint Patel as part of a systemic problem within the FBI, but Patel pointed to arrests and prosecutions as proof of results. \u201cResults speak louder than accusations,\u201d he said. \u201cWe enforce the law impartially.\u201d<\/p>\n
He addressed media spin, noting, \u201cMuch of what is being reported is sensationalized. My responsibility is to the law and the truth, not to narratives spun for political gain.\u201d<\/p>\n
Conservative outlets hailed Patel\u2019s forthrightness. Fox News noted his \u201ccommitment to transparency and law enforcement integrity,\u201d highlighting that Democrats\u2019 attacks were politically motivated.<\/p>\n
The New York Post highlighted Patel\u2019s calm but firm approach under pressure, quoting him: \u201cI don\u2019t give a damn about criticism that isn\u2019t rooted in fact. My duty is to enforce the law.\u201d<\/p>\n
Critics focused on moments of visible frustration, but Patel\u2019s sharp rebuttals exposed the Democrats\u2019 hollow accusations and their failure to understand law enforcement priorities.<\/p>\n
Patel also addressed allegations of politically motivated firings within the FBI. Former agents accused him of retribution, but Patel confirmed that all personnel actions were based on legal procedure and performance metrics.<\/p>\n
He defended the FBI\u2019s communication strategy, stating, \u201cWe cannot compromise ongoing cases for political theater,\u201d emphasizing the agency\u2019s commitment to law over politics.<\/p>\n
On the Kirk investigation, Patel stressed professionalism and methodical procedures. \u201cThe suspect\u2019s quick apprehension reflects rigorous investigative work, not political expediency.\u201d<\/p>\n
The hearings underscored the partisan divide: Democrats attacked reflexively, while Republicans emphasized law, order, and results.<\/p>\n
Patel noted that under his leadership, the FBI increased transparency where legally permissible, improving public reporting without compromising confidentiality.<\/p>\n
When Swalwell tried to insinuate favoritism, Patel said, \u201cEvery decision is evidence-based. Politics has no role in law enforcement decisions.\u201d<\/p>\n
The hearings drew massive public attention. Patel\u2019s firm stance became a symbol of principled law enforcement resisting political intimidation.<\/p>\n
Critics accused him of politicizing the bureau, yet Patel made clear that partisan attacks would not distract him from enforcing the law.<\/p>\n
Conservative voices praised Patel\u2019s assertiveness, signaling that the FBI under his guidance will prioritize law and order, not partisan politics.<\/p>\n
The Epstein case remained a focal point. Patel reiterated, \u201cWe have released more than any prior administration,\u201d showing the Democrats\u2019 claims were baseless.<\/p>\n
Regarding Charlie Kirk\u2019s assassination, Patel emphasized the FBI\u2019s rapid and professional response, countering criticism with facts.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
