Recently, we brought you a compelling story about Elbridge Colby, President Trump’s nominee for Undersecretary of Defense.
When we first introduced you to Colby, it was because there were efforts underway to derail his confirmation. Unfortunately, we’re disappointed to report that those right-wing sabotage efforts haven’t stopped. And what’s even more concerning is that one of the biggest forces behind them is a supposed Trump ally.
This story first caught our attention because, while Colby’s position may not have the high-profile flash of FBI Director or Secretary of State, it’s one of the most critical roles in President Trump’s administration. And behind the scenes, plenty of so-called “war hawks” on our side are quietly fighting tooth and nail to keep him out.
President Donald Trump’s nomination of Elbridge Colby to serve as the Pentagon’s policy chief is emerging as the next big fight in the Republican Party’s internal clash over U.S. foreign policy.
Those divisions were on full display this past week in Europe, where Vice President JD Vance and Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth trampled on decades of GOP orthodoxy on national security.
But the GOP hawks are looking to reassert themselves by using Colby’s nomination to strike back — ensuring the confirmation process will be yet another proxy battle over the party’s direction on foreign policy.
The first round of attacks happened…
The quiet nominations, like Elbridge Colby’s, fly way under the radar, making them easy targets for sabotage by GOP RINOs and the Deep State. And by the time we realize what happened—when Trump’s policies start failing, and when the betrayals start to stack up—it’s too late. And we’re left scratching our heads, wondering why we’re getting stabbed in the back, when the truth is, that groundwork was laid long ago, we just didn’t notice it.
That’s exactly what’s happening right now with Elbridge Colby.
While we’re all distracted by a million different things happening here and there, the GOP Senate RINOs are quietly launching a sneak attack to sabotage Colby’s nomination as Undersecretary of Defense.
And this attack is something you need to know about—because if we don’t fight now, we’ll pay for it later.
Charlie Kirk is sounding one of the first biggest alarms we’ve seen.
Right now, as JD is in Europe Senate Republicans are launching an effort to thwart one of the most important people for the new administration @ElbridgeColby @SenatorWicker and others are holding up and delaying Colby
Why?
Because he challenged the Iraq war and thinks a war…

Sadly, it looks like the push to stop Colby are still in the works—and word on the street is that the strongest right-wing push is now coming from none other than a supposed Trump ally: Tom Cotton.
The effort to undermine President Trump continues in the US Senate @SenTomCotton is working behind the scenes to stop Trump’s pick, Elbridge Colby, from getting confirmed at DOD
Colby is one of the most important pieces to stop the Bush/Cheney cabal at DOD

There’s no shortage of MAGA feedback on this issue. Here are just a few takes from X:
“Tom Cotton didn’t want the 2020 election fraud investigated Dude is blackmailed or paid off, or both Somebody needs to primary him in 2026”
“Why the opposition to Bridge? What does he think Bridge will do?”
“President Trump and his supporters have a mandate. President Trump must have all of his cabinet picks confirmed. I know Cotton is a Ukraine hawk. Maybe he doen’t like how that is going down”
“Cotton has long been a Deep state RINO cuck. He is simply a covert operative of the deep state and USAID. Anyone paying attention has known this for a long while.”
“Elbridge Colby is a serious strategist who puts America First by ending the neocon obsession with endless wars. Tom Cotton fighting against that tells you everything you need to know—he’s still loyal to the Bush/Cheney military-industrial complex.
MAGA isn’t just giving Senator Cotton the side-eye—they’re watching him real close. Meanwhile, Elbridge Colby would bring a bold, new energy to America’s foreign policy—one that puts American interests first, period.
We already know Cotton is a RINO. The GOP needs to oit way more pressure on these clowns.
Another Globalists/Traitor just like the rest of them Clinton(Bill)Obama and Biden needs voted off the Island
Show me the list of those opposed?
Don is trying to do many of what Ronny tried to do.
Ronny failed because leftist GOP stymied him.
A partial list of what man I voted fo 9 times tried to do; but GOP lef prevented him:
!. Totally defund UN. Ronny wanted no – zero, ninguno, keine, zilch – taxpayer $ going to UN. He did not want to pull out; just make them pay their own way.
2. Abolish Ed Dept.
Becaus of GOP left Ronny was defeated on these and manymore.
If these are insufficient i can list more.
GOP “leaders” have tended to be leftists for 120 years. Read Barry’s enlightening; but very badly written. Conscience of a Conservative. I had to attack it 3 times over 4 decades to get done; but
Barry “told it like it is/was!”!
Parachute him out over the Amazon with just the Clothes on his back and lets see how long he lasts
