Navy delivers report to Hegseth on potential of punishment for Sen. Mark Kelly over ‘illegal orders’ video-lllllllllllllllll
Anyone waiting for the U.S. military to finally address whether there will be real, lasting consequences for former servicemembers or intelligence personnel tied to that outrageous “illegal orders” video — the one released by six national Democrat lawmakers — may be getting closer to an answer.
As most USA Journal readers know, Arizona’s senior senator Mark Kelly was one of the lawmakers featured in that disgraceful video — and he’s the one the Pentagon zeroed in on for a review over “serious allegations of misconduct.” Secretary of War Pete Hegseth issued a memo in late November directing the Navy to dig into Kelly’s actions and deliver a full report with findings and recommended consequences. And as we’ve already noted, this may only be the starting line for the bad news coming toward the so-called “Seditious Six.”
And now…here we go.
The Department of War confirmed Thursday that Navy leadership has completed its report — and it is now in the hands of the branch’s General Counsel, who will determine what punishment, if any, is appropriate for the retired naval captain. A department official told The Hill the review is underway, marking the first real sign that consequences for Kelly and his cohorts may finally be on the table:
The U.S. Navy has submitted its report on the potential punishments for Sen. Mark Kelly (D-Ariz.) over a recent video where he and other Democratic lawmakers told U.S. service members to disobey “illegal orders.”
The report, which was ordered by the [War] Department and referred to the Navy, was sent to the Pentagon’s Office of General Counsel, “where they are providing a legal review and input,” a department official told The Hill on Thursday.
The publication also reached out to the Copper State senator for comment — and what they got back was a canned, dismissive statement from a Kelly spokesperson. Readers can judge for themselves just how seriously he’s taking allegations this grave:
“It defies belief that with all of the threats facing our country, Pete Hegseth initiated this ridiculous process to try to intimidate Senator Kelly for saying something Pete Hegseth himself has said repeatedly.”
More from The Hill:
Kelly was never contacted or notified about the report and “it sure as hell won’t stop him from doing his job representing Arizona, whether that is voting today to lower health care costs or making sure our service members have what they need to do a very difficult job,” the spokesperson said, adding that Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth and President Trump “could do themselves a big favor and learn about our country’s history, the Constitution and the rule of law.”
Anyone who has watched Sen. Kelly’s behavior since that disgraceful Democrat video — the one openly encouraging U.S. service members to ignore lawful orders from their commander in chief — won’t be shocked by his latest non-response. This is exactly the posture he’s taken from day one: pretend it’s no big deal, wave away the seriousness, and hope the media runs cover.
We’ll see where this goes next.
BANNED' - Clinton Judge Reads Her Verdict - President Donald Trump Has Been Informed That He Just Beat Gavin Newsom...
JUDICIAL RECKONING
The return of national sovereignty and administrative lethality reached a new milestone this Thursday, April 9, 2026. A blockbuster ruling in Los Angeles has left the DNC establishment and globalist elite reeling.
A federal judge issued a preliminary injunction against California’s controversial "No Secret Police Act," blocking the state from prohibiting ICE agents from wearing masks. Judge Christina Snyder ruled the law unconstitutional, marking a decisive victory for President Donald J. Trump and the Department of Justice.
The court affirmed the Constitution’s Supremacy Clause, stating California cannot discriminate against federal officers while exempting its own law enforcement. Attorney General Pamela Bondi praised the ruling, emphasizing the administration’s zero-tolerance stance on harassment of federal agents.
This decision reflects the 2026 mandate: a legal framework prioritizing the safety of American officers over the sanctuary policies pushed by Governor Gavin Newsom. It signals a sweeping rollback of state overreach in immigration enforcement.
Meanwhile, in Texas, a federal jury delivered historic terrorism convictions against nine members of a radical antifa cell. The group was found guilty for a violent 2025 attack on an ICE detention facility that left a police officer shot in the neck.
Ringleader Benjamin Song faces potential life imprisonment after evidence proved the attack was a coordinated assault using explosives and rifles—not the “noise demonstration” the defense claimed. Prosecutors called the verdict a landmark affirmation of Trump’s domestic terror designation.
With Kash Patel at the FBI and Todd Blanche at the DOJ, the dismantling of extremist cells has accelerated. Federal agencies continue to secure detention centers like Prairieland against those attempting to destabilize the republic.
Governor Gavin Newsom attempted to spin the court ruling as a “win,” citing the upheld “No Vigilantes Act.” But the truth remains: the centerpiece of his anti-ICE agenda—the “No Secret Police Act”—has been effectively struck down.
The defeat exposes the weakening foundation of California’s sanctuary policies. While Sacramento prioritizes the “civil rights” of illegal aliens, the Trump administration is defending the constitutional rights of federal officers.
The week closes as a sweeping administrative triumph for the Trump-GOP platform. From Los Angeles courtrooms to Texas jury boxes, real results—not rhetoric—are forging the 2026 midterm shield.
With 5% GDP growth and a secure border, the nation is reclaiming its stability and sovereignty. America moves forward with vigilance, resolve, and a renewed commitment to law and order.
God bless the USA—and the leaders who refuse to bow to the swamp or the radical mob.
oFar Left 'Squad' Member Learns Her Fate As Her Primary Election is Called
Washington D.C. — The far-left “Squad” took another massive hit Tuesday night as Missouri Democrat Rep. Cori Bush was soundly defeated in her primary by challenger Wesley Bell, who led by double digits with 54.9% to Bush’s 41.8%.
Bush, one of the most extreme voices in Congress, joins Rep. Jamaal Bowman as the second Squad member to lose her seat this cycle. Her defeat is a clear rejection of the radical socialist, anti-police, pro-Hamas agenda she has pushed since entering Congress in 2021.
Bush rose to prominence after participating in the Ferguson riots and has spent years promoting false narratives about Michael Brown while calling for defunding the police — even as violent crime soared in her St. Louis district. She has repeatedly aligned herself with pro-Hamas protesters, blamed Israel for the October 7 massacre, and faced controversy over allegedly funneling thousands of campaign dollars to her husband for “security services” while demanding less police protection for her constituents.
Republicans celebrated the win with well-deserved mockery. Pro-Trump comedian Terrance K. Williams posted:
“A ‘BLACK JOB’ IS SOMETHING CORI BUSH DOES NOT HAVE. OH HAPPY DAY! She is the second Squad member to lose her seat! I can’t wait until they are all gone.”
Florida GOP Rep. Matt Gaetz, who served with Bush on the House Judiciary Committee, sarcastically noted:
“I will miss Cori Bush missing every committee meeting.”
Students for Trump co-founder Ryan Fournier added:
“The Squad’s Cori Bush has LOST her primary. Join me in saying GOOD RIDDANCE! Hamas might be hiring, Cori!”
Even actor Michael Rapaport, a vocal Israel supporter, celebrated:
“Tonight at the rally they said let’s bring back ‘JOY’ to politics and boom CORI BUSH is done with Politics…. I feel JOY all of a sudden.”
This is the second straight blow to the radical Squad. Jamaal Bowman lost his primary earlier after endorsing pro-Hamas demonstrators on college campuses. Both Bush and Bowman blamed their defeats on pro-Israel funding from AIPAC rather than admitting the truth: their extreme, anti-American, and anti-Israel positions have become toxic to voters.
The radical left’s Squad is crumbling because the American people are rejecting their agenda of defunding police, embracing socialism, supporting radical Islamists, and putting foreign interests above American citizens. Voters want secure borders, safe streets, strong economy, and leaders who put America First — not performative radicals who miss committee meetings and push policies that hurt their own districts.
Under President Donald J. Trump’s leadership, the Republican Party is becoming the party of working Americans, law and order, and common sense. Meanwhile, the Democrat Party continues its death spiral — hemorrhaging voters, losing favorability, and watching its most extreme members get rejected at the ballot box.
Cori Bush’s defeat is not just a loss for one radical congresswoman. It is a rejection of the entire Squad’s toxic ideology. The American people are waking up and choosing sanity over socialism, strength over weakness, and America First over America Last.
More Squad members are on the ballot soon. The trend is clear: radicalism is losing, and the America First movement is winning.

A Shift in Tone: Trump’s Emotionally Charged Announcement Captivates the American Public
WASHINGTON — In a political landscape often characterized by deeply entrenched narratives and predictable partisan battles, a sudden shift in tone from one of the nation’s most prominent figures has caught the country entirely off guard. Former President Donald Trump delivered an unexpectedly emotional statement today, breaking from his characteristically stoic and combative public persona. The address, which saw the former president visibly holding back tears, has rapidly ignited a firestorm of digital discourse and intense media analysis across the United States.
For decades, Trump’s public image has been anchored by an unyielding, high-energy presentation tailored for massive rally crowds and sharp-witted media appearances. However, during this latest address, viewers witnessed a completely different demeanor.
Standing before the microphones, his voice softened as he touched upon deeply personal themes and the current state of the nation. The rare display of raw vulnerability created an immediate hush among the gathered press corps, signaling a moment that few political insiders or media commentators saw coming.
Within minutes of the broadcast concluding, the internet experienced a massive surge in traffic. Clips of the emotional address flooded major social media platforms, including X (formerly Twitter), TikTok, and Facebook, instantly trending worldwide. Digital analytics indicated an unprecedented level of real-time engagement, with the phrase "breaking news" taking on a literal meaning as major news networks interrupted standard programming to dissect the unfolding event. The speed with which the footage took over the internet underscores the modern electorate's intense focus on high-stakes political moments.
The national reaction to the development has been swift, sprawling, and deeply polarized. For his core base of supporters, the emotional display was viewed as a profound, authentic testament to his dedication to the country. Many argued that seeing a more human, vulnerable side of the former president bridges a gap, revealing a deeper, heartfelt concern for America's future challenges.
Conversely, political opponents and skeptical media analysts viewed the address through a more tactical lens. Critics quickly began evaluating the timing of the emotional statement, questioning whether the shift in demeanor represents a calculated effort to reshape his public image ahead of upcoming political cycles. Regardless of the varying interpretations, political scientists agree that the moment stands out as an extraordinary anomaly in modern political communication.
What remains undeniable is the sheer scale of the public fascination. In an era where political messaging is heavily curated and focus-group tested, unscripted moments—or those that deviate sharply from established norms—possess a unique power to pierce through daily digital noise. This address has forced a collective pause across the political spectrum, prompting citizens to re-evaluate their perceptions of leadership and public vulnerability.
As the country continues to process the broader implications of this unexpected announcement, the digital conversation shows no signs of slowing down. Online forums, community boards, and political talk shows remain entirely consumed by the event.
