Apparently, expressing your faith through tattoos is ‘extremist’ these days — at least according to Elizabeth Warren. In a letter penned to Secretary of Defense nominee and Army veteran Pete Hegseth, Elizabeth Warren took issue with his tattoos. Namely, one that read Deus Vult, which is Latin for ‘God’s will.’ According to Elizabeth Warren, this is “a Christian expression associated with right-wing extremism.” Read for yourself: BREAKING: Elizabeth Warren has called out Secretary of Defense nominee Pete Hegseth, claiming his Deus Vult tattoo—Latin for “God’s will” and linked to the First Crusade—makes him a “potential insider threat.” Lmao what? pic.twitter.com/9uxp7aUmgB — Jack (@jackunheard) January 7, 2025 Senator Elizabeth Warren, better known as Pocahontas, just sent a letter to Pete Hegseth claiming that his Deus Vult tattoo, Latin for “God’s will,” makes him a “potential insider threat.” “You were also removed from President Biden’s inauguration because of concerns that you… pic.twitter.com/T3V2DwQZeK — George (@BehizyTweets) January 7, 2025 Here’s more of the letter Warren wrote to Hegseth: Elizabeth Warren has sent a letter to Secretary of Defense nominee Pete Hegseth in which she claims that having a Deus Vult tattoo, Latin for “God’s will” and a Christian motto that dates back to the First Crusade, makes him a “potential insider threat.” pic.twitter.com/4lySEYI9vn — Greg Price (@greg_price11) January 7, 2025 For reference, here’s a photo of the tattoo Elizabeth Warren was referring to: In the letter, Elizabeth Warren also expressed fear that Pete Hegseth would abolish DEI policies: New letter from Elizabeth Warren to Pete Hegseth shows she is very upset that, as SecDef, Hegseth might actually work to depoliticize the DoD by ending radical DEI & woke policies and that he might actually hold the military brass accountable for its share of the Afghan debacle. pic.twitter.com/J4jqEMKmAL — Jerry Dunleavy IV (@JerryDunleavy) January 7, 2025   More from The New York Post: Sen. Elizabeth Warren strongly suggested that there are concerns that Army veteran Pete Hegseth could be an “insider threat” due to his Christian tattoo and seethed over his crusade against woke military policies in a blistering missive to the defense secretary designee. While outlining over 70 questions to Hegseth and giving him four days to reply, Warren made clear that she sees him as “unfit” to helm the Pentagon and teased a fiery showdown when he appears before the Senate Armed Services Committee next week. “I am deeply concerned by the many ways in which your behavior and rhetoric indicates that you are unfit to lead the Department of Defense,” Warren, 75, wrote in the 33-page letter to Hegseth sent late Monday. “Your confirmation as Secretary of Defense would be detrimental to our national security and disrespect a diverse array of servicemembers who are willing to sacrifice for our country.” Strikingly, the Massachusetts Democrat latched onto dubious concerns about a Deus Vult tattoo on Hegseth’s bicep, a Latin phrase that translates to “God wills it.” Warren pointed to a Reuters article recounting how a National Guard master sergeant believed the former Fox News host could be an “insider threat.” That master sergeant had done a quick internet search and determined that the tattoo had links to right-wing extremism and had been a battle cry for the Crusaders. National Guard leadership then pushed Hegseth out from serving during President Biden’s inauguration day. Notably, top brass had been on high alert at the time in the wake of the Jan. 6, 2021, Capitol riot. Despite religious scholars later countering that the Deus Vult is often considered a common Christian symbol, Warren contended that the fact that his superiors were concerned about the tattoo raises questions about whether he could be the Pentagon chief. “You were also removed from President Biden’s inauguration because of concerns that you were an insider threat after reports that your ‘Deus Vult’ tattoo ‘was a Christian expression associated with right-wing extremism,’” she wrote to Hegseth. Whether you like tattoos or not, they are pretty frequent among members of the U.S. Army, like Pete Hegseth. To label his an ‘extremist’ over this is a huge stretch… Almost as big of a stretch as Elizabeth Warren’s supposed Native American ancestry.

Earlier today during an emergency press conference, President Trump was asked to shut down the idea of using military or economic force in order to secure Greenland and the Panama Canal. Here was his response: BREAKING: President Trump just signaled that he is prepared to use the U.S. military to obtain Greenland and retake the Panama Canal Reporter: “Can you assure the world that as you try to get control of these areas, you are not going to use military or economic coercion?”… pic.twitter.com/MhAq6CJTvg — George (@BehizyTweets) January 7, 2025 One thing is clear: President Trump is absolutely serious about taking back the Panama Canal and making Greenland part of the great USA! AP reported: President-elect Donald Trump on Tuesday said he would not rule out the use of military force to seize control of the Panama Canal and Greenland, as he declared U.S. control of both to be vital to American national security. Speaking to reporters less than two weeks before he takes office on Jan. 20 and as a delegation of aides and advisers that includes Donald Trump Jr. is in Greenland, Trump left open the use of the American military to secure both territories. Trump’s intention marks a rejection of decades of U.S. policy that has prioritized self-determination over territorial expansion. “I’m not going to commit to that,” Trump said, when asked if he would rule out the use of the military. “It might be that you’ll have to do something. The Panama Canal is vital to our country.” He added, “We need Greenland for national security purposes.” After this press conference, Panama issued a statement in response, calling the canal’s sovereignty “non-negotiable.” Take a look: Panama asserts its canal sovereignty as “non-negotiable” after Trump hints at possible military action to reclaim it.

Asked at a press conference at his Florida resort whether he could assure the world he would not use military or economic coercion as he tries to gain control of the Panama Canal and Greenland, Trump said, “No, I can’t assure you on either of those two. But I can say this, we need them for economic security,” according to Reuters. Similarly, the Prime Minister of Denmark also recently responded to President Trump sending a delegation, including Don Jr., to Greenland by asserting that “Greenland belongs to the Greenlanders.” JUST IN: The Prime Minister of Denmark has issued a new statement after Trump sends a delegation to Greenland amid wanting to bring it into the U.S. “Greenland belongs to the Greenlanders.” pic.twitter.com/qFRWQxDcag — Eric Daugherty (@EricLDaugh) January 7, 2025 I guess we will certainly see..

The View co-host Sunny Hostin’s New Year is off to a bad start. Her husband, an orthopedic surgeon, is facing allegations of insurance fraud. Dr. Emmanuel ‘Manny’ Hostin has been named as one of the defendants in one of the biggest RICO lawsuits ever filed in New York. The lawsuit alleges that Dr. Hostin as well as about 200 others participated in a scheme to perform surgery then fraudulently bill the insurance firm American Transit, which insures taxis and rideshare drivers, in exchange for kickbacks.

Fox News has more details on the allegations Dr. Hostin is facing: The husband of “The View” co-host Sunny Hostin has been accused of insurance fraud in a sweeping federal lawsuit filed last month. Orthopedic surgeon Dr. Emmanuel “Manny” Hostin and his practice, Hostin Orthopaedics & Sports Medicine, were named among more than 180 defendants in a major RICO case filed in New York on Dec. 17. According to The Daily Mail, Hostin and the other defendants were allegedly receiving “kickbacks” for performing surgeries and fraudulently billing the insurance company that provides for Uber, Lyft and other taxi companies. “Hostin knowingly provided fraudulent medical and other healthcare services including arthroscopic surgeries,” the lawsuit claims, per The Daily Mail, adding that the American Transit Insurance Company, which filed the lawsuit, was billed “in exchange for kickbacks and/or other compensation which were disguised as dividends or other cash distributions.” In a press release announcing the $450 million lawsuit, American Transit said, “The federal court complaint, filed in the Eastern District of New York, alleges that the defendants sought to take advantage of New York’s no-fault auto insurance laws, which require insurance companies to reimburse their policyholders for the cost of necessary and documented medical care up to $50,000 for personal or private passenger vehicles ($200,000 for taxis and for-hire vehicles in New York City) for injuries arising out of an accident regardless of fault. These substantial possible no-fault recoveries can incentivize providers with ill intent to over-diagnose, over-treat, and over-bill to recover the most money for themselves.” The Daily Mail also reported: The long-time husband of The View co-host Sunny Hostin is starting the New Year under a cloud after being accused of federal insurance fraud. Orthopedic surgeon Dr. Emmanuel ‘Manny’ Hostin is among nearly 200 defendants named in one of the largest RICO cases ever filed in New York. He and many of the others are accused or getting kickbacks by performing surgery and fraudulently billing a company that insures taxi companies and Uber and Lyft drivers. ‘Hostin knowingly provided fraudulent medical and other healthcare services including arthroscopic surgeries,’ the lawsuit, filed on December 17, claims. The insurance firm American Transit was then billed ‘in exchange for kickbacks and/or other compensation which were disguised as dividends or other cash distributions.’ Hostin’s attorney Daniel Thwaites told DailyMail.com his client ‘denies each and every allegation’ and called the lawsuit a ‘blanket, scattershot, meritless lawsuit by a near-bankrupt insurance carrier’. ‘It is meant to intimidate and harass doctors from collecting for care given to American Transit insureds and their passengers,’ Thwaites said. He said Hostin has an ‘impeccable’ record, adding: ‘American Transit has rushed into the lawsuit without ever conducting an examination of Dr. Hostin or expressing any concerns to his lawyers. ‘The real story here is about an insurance carrier abusing the legal system to limit and restrict health care benefits to its insureds and their passengers, and write off its proper obligations,’ Thwaites said. Sunny Hostin, 56, has been married to the doctor for nearly quarter of a century. They tied the knot in 1998 and have two children and live in a palatial 10-bed, 10-bath estate in Purchase, New York.
