The former White House adviser Katie Miller—mother of three young children, and wife of the presidential right-hand man Stephen—walked out of her front door one Thursday morning last month and was confronted by a woman she did not know. When she told this story on Fox News, she described the encounter as a protest that crossed a line. The stranger had told Miller: “I’m watching you,” she said. This was the day after Charlie Kirk’s assassination. It also wasn’t anything new.
For weeks before Kirk’s death, activists had been protesting the Millers’ presence in north Arlington, Virginia. Someone had put up wanted posters in their neighborhood with their home address, denouncing Stephen as a Nazi who had committed “crimes against humanity.” A group called Arlington Neighbors United for Humanity warned in an Instagram post: “Your efforts to dismantle our democracy and destroy our social safety net will not be tolerated here.” The local protest became a backdrop to the Trump administration’s response to Kirk’s killing. When Miller, the architect of that response who is known for his inflammatory political rhetoric, announced a legal crackdown on liberal groups, he singled out the tactics that had victimized his family—what he called “organized campaigns of dehumanization, vilification, posting peoples’ addresses.”
Stephen Miller soon joined a growing list of senior Trump-administration political appointees—at least six by our count—living in Washington-area military housing, where they are shielded not just from potential violence but also from protest. It is an ominous marker of the nation’s polarization, to which the Trump administration has itself contributed, that some of those top public servants have felt a need to separate themselves from the public. These civilian officials can now depend on the U.S. military to augment their personal security. But so many have made the move that they are now straining the availability of housing for the nation’s top uniformed officers.
Kristi Noem, the Homeland Security secretary, moved out of her D.C. apartment building and into the home designated for the Coast Guard commandant on Joint Base Anacostia-Bolling, across the river from the capital, after the Daily Mail described where she lived. Both Secretary of State Marco Rubio and Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth live on “Generals’ Row” at Fort McNair, an Army enclave along the Anacostia River, according to officials from the State and Defense Departments. (Rubio spent one recent evening assembling furniture that had been delivered to the house that day.) Although most Cabinet-level officials live in private houses, there is precedent for senior national-security officials, including the defense secretary, to rent homes on bases for security or convenience. Army Secretary Dan Driscoll, whose family is in Washington only part-time, now shares a home on Joint Base Myer-Henderson Hall, a picturesque site next to Arlington National Cemetery. His roommate is another senior political appointee to the Army. (When Driscoll moved in, his washing machine wasn’t working, so for the first few weeks of his stay on base, he lugged his laundry over to the home of the Army chief of staff, General Randy George.)
Another senior White House official, whom The Atlantic is not naming because of security concerns related to a specific foreign threat, also vacated a private home for a military installation after Kirk’s murder. In that case, security officials urged the official to relocate to military housing, according to people briefed on the move, who like many others who spoke with us for this story were not authorized to do so publicly. So many senior officials have requested housing that some are now encountering a familiar D.C. problem: inadequate supply. When Director of National Intelligence Tulsi Gabbard’s team inquired earlier in Donald Trump’s second term about her moving onto McNair, it didn’t work out for space reasons, a former official told us.
There are scattered examples from previous administrations of Cabinet members residing on bases. Both Robert Gates, defense secretary under presidents George W. Bush and Barack Obama, and Jim Mattis, Trump’s first Pentagon chief, lived in Navy housing at the Potomac Hill annex, a secure compound near the State Department. Mike Pompeo, CIA director and secretary of state during Trump’s first term, lived at Joint Base Myer-Henderson Hall. The grand homes they occupied, some of which date back more than a century, offer officials an additional layer of security and ample space for official entertaining.
But there is no record of so many political appointees living on military installations. The shift adds to the blurring of traditional boundaries between the civilian and military worlds. Trump has made the military a far more visible element of domestic politics, deploying National Guard forces to Washington, Los Angeles, and other cities run by Democrats. He has decreed that those cities should be used as “training grounds” in the battle against the “enemy within.”
Adria Lawrence, an associate professor of international studies and political science at John Hopkins University, told us that housing political advisers on bases sends a problematic message. “In a robust democracy, what you want is the military to be for the defense of the country as a whole and not just one party,” Lawrence told us.
But the threat assessment has also changed in recent years. Trump has survived two attempted assassinations; Iran has stepped up its efforts to kill federal officials; and political violence—such as the June shooting of two Democratic Minnesota lawmakers, the murder of Kirk in September, and the shooting at a Texas immigration facility two weeks later—is a real danger.
The result is straining the stock of homes typically allotted to senior uniformed officers on Washington-area bases. Some of those homes, designed for three- and four-star generals, lack sufficient bedrooms for families with young children. Many have lead-abatement issues and require significant repair. The Army notified Congress in January that it planned to spend more than $137,000 on repairs and upgrades to Hegseth’s McNair home before he moved in. Both Hegseth’s predecessor, Lloyd Austin, and Austin’s State Department counterpart, Antony Blinken, faced protesters at their northern-Virginia homes, which were not on bases. Gaza protesters who set up camp outside Blinken’s house, where he lived with his young children, spattered fake blood on cars as they passed by.
Robert Pape, a political-science professor at the University of Chicago, told us that the threat of political violence is real for figures in both major parties. He noted that Trump has revoked the security details for several of his critics and adversaries, including former Vice President Kamala Harris and John Bolton, the former national security adviser from Trump’s first term who has been the target of an Iranian assassination plot. “The correct balance would be: Trump should stop canceling the security detail of former Biden officials,” said Pape, who is also the director of the university’s Chicago Project on Security and Threats. “The issue is both sides are under heightened threat; therefore the threat to both should be taken seriously.”
In most cases, the civilian officials pay “fair market” rent for their base home, a formula determined by the military. Hegseth, in keeping with a 2008 law that aimed to make Gates’s Navy-owned housing arrangement more affordable, pays a rent equivalent to a general’s housing allowance plus 5 percent (in this case, totaling $4,655.70 a month). The moves, however, can also save the government money. In some cases, base living can reduce the cost of providing personal security to officials, one person familiar with the relocations told us, because protective teams do not need to rent a second location nearby as a staging area.
Base living—in the unofficial Trump Green Zone—has also become something of a double-edged status symbol among Trump officials. No one wants to deal with threats; both the Millers and the unnamed senior official were not looking to leave their homes. But the secure housing does confer upon the recipient a certain sheen of importance that sets them apart from all of the other officials ferried about in armored black SUVs. Administration officials now find themselves vying for the largest houses, not unlike the behind-the-scenes maneuvering that has long played out among senior military officers.
The isolation of living on a military base, at least for civilians, has also created a deeper division between Trump’s advisers and the metropolitan area where they govern. Trump-administration officials, who regularly mock the nation’s capital as a crime-ridden hellscape, now find themselves in a protected bubble, even farther removed from the city’s daily rhythms. And they are even less likely to encounter a diverse mix of voters—in their neighborhoods, on their playgrounds, in their favorite date-night haunts.
After the Kirk assassination, the Trump administration designated antifa a domestic terrorist organization, even though there is no centralized antifa organization, no organizational ties have been established to Kirk’s alleged killer, and the category of domestic terrorist organization has no meaning in federal law. The identities of the activists behind the harassment campaign that helped persuade the Millers to leave their home have not been publicly disclosed.
Arlington Neighbors United for Humanity—ANUFH, pronounced, they say, enough—has organized protests near the homes of Miller and Office of Management and Budget Director Russell Vought. Its website calls for “strategic, nonviolent action,” and its efforts appear to have stopped short of making any explicit threats of violence. (A representative of the group declined to comment, as did the Millers.) But the protests were designed to make the Miller family take notice. Stephen Miller has been an architect of Trump’s deportation policy, invoking a centuries-old law to send migrants to a Salvadoran prison and urging immigration-enforcement officers to aggressively find and arrest as many immigrants as possible. He regularly derides Democrats with inflammatory language, calling judicial rulings against the administration a “legal insurrection” and calling the Democratic Party “a domestic extremist organization.”
“Will we let him live in our community in peace while he TERRORIZES children and families? Not a chance,” ANUFH captioned one Instagram post in July that shows a photograph of the Millers and their children. (The Millers have both posted family photos online that show their children’s faces.) Weeks later, the group took credit for covering the sidewalk near the Miller home with chalk messages such as Miller is preying on families, although it said in a post that it had spoken with Stephen Miller’s security beforehand to make sure that the group wasn’t violating any laws. Katie Miller responded with an Instagram post of her own, a video of the chalked words STEPHEN MILLER IS DESTROYING DEMOCRACY! being washed away with a hose. She argued in a subsequent appearance on Fox News that although the protesters may not be violent themselves, they were inciting the kind of violence that killed Kirk. “We will not back down. We will not cower in fear. We will double down. Always, For Charlie,” Katie Miller wrote, echoing her husband’s rhetoric.
“WE ARE PEACEFULLY RESISTING TYRANNY,” ANUFH responded in a post. “GUNS KILL PEOPLE. CHALK SCARES FASCISTS.”
Earlier this month, the Millers put their six-bedroom north Arlington home on the market for $3.75 million. The listing promised “a rare blend of seclusion, sophistication, and striking design.”
WOMEN NOT SAFE IN THE MILITARY
Ex-sergeant major jailed for raping a female soldier resulting in her death
Story by Claire Hayhurst • A former senior non-commissioned Army officer who sexually attacked a teenage soldier who later took her own life has been sentenced to six months in prison.
( 6 months is nothing )
Warrant Officer Michael Webber, 43, previously pleaded guilty to the attack on Royal Artillery Gunner Jaysley Beck, 19, during a stay at Thorney Island, near Emsworth in Hampshire, in July 2021.He appeared before Bulford Military Court Centre on Friday and was sentenced by the Judge Advocate General Alan Large and a military board.
During the incident, Webber engaged Gunner Beck in a drinking game called Last Man Standing before touching her thigh and trying to kiss her.
Gunner Beck pushed Webber, then a 39-year-old battery sergeant major, away and spent the night locked in her car before making a complaint to her superiors in the morning. He appeared before Bulford Military Court Centre on Friday and was sentenced by the Judge Advocate General Alan Large and a military board.
However, the incident was not reported to police and Webber wrote a letter of apology to Gunner Beck, from Cumbria.
However he kept pestering her for sex , and said it was part of her duty
and sexual touching went on
She was found hanged in her room at Larkhill Camp in Wiltshire on December 15 2021 – five months after the incident.
At the conclusion of her inquest in February 2025, Assistant Coroner Nicholas Rheinberg ruled the Army’s failure to take appropriate action made a “more than minimal” contribution to her death.
Judge Large told Webber his sentence took into account “the adverse effect on morale and on the reputation of HM armed forces”.
He said: “You were interviewed and you accepted your behaviour had been unacceptable. You wrote a letter of apology.
“Your career continued completely unaffected and you were in due course promoted to Warrant Officer 1.”
The judge said Webber would only serve half his sentence in custody in a civilian prison, and put him on the sex offenders register for seven years.
Prosecuting, Commodore James Farrant told the military court on Friday that Webber and Gunner Beck had been away for adventure training on Thorney Island when the incident took place.
He said: “On the first night of their training, both of them stayed up in the bar drinking and
“At some point, after they had been drinking together for some time, Mr Webber told the complainant that she was beautiful. “He put his hand on the back of her head in order to kiss her and he also touched her thigh. She asked him to stop and told him that he should go to bed.
“However, he continued to the extent that Gunner Beck feared she would not be safe from him if she went to her accommodation.”
The court heard Gunner Beck first hid in the toilets, standing on top of a toilet seat so Webber would not see where she was, before locking herself in her car overnight.
She reported the incident the following day and Webber was dealt with by a minor administrative action – involving him being interviewed and writing Gunner Beck a letter of apology.
Commodore Farrant said: “I am sure this court will find that whatever its justification at the time, it was not appropriate that this incident was dealt with administratively.
It meant no police investigation could take place.
He added a service inquiry later found Gunner Beck had been subjected to a “number of inappropriate behaviours by various personnel senior to her in the months before her death”.
During her inquest, it emerged Gunner Beck had received thousands of messages from another senior colleague, Bombardier Ryan Mason.
Wiltshire Police investigated a complaint of harassment submitted by Gunner Beck’s family after her death, relating to Mr Mason’s behaviour, but found the evidence did not support a criminal harassment case.
The force also investigated the incident involving Webber but declined to refer it to the Crown Prosecution Service, Commodore Farrant added.
Following Gunner Beck’s inquest, Wiltshire Police transferred jurisdiction of the case to the Defence Serious Crime Unit and the Service Prosecuting Agency charged Webber with sexual assault in August.
He pleaded guilty to another charge on September 5.
Victim personal statements written by Gunner Beck’s mother Leighann McCready, father Anthony Beck, and sister Emilli Beck were read to the court.
Miss McCready described how she received a phone call from her “very upset” daughter following the incident, who had been “very scared” by Webber.
My bright, confident daughter became quiet and withdrawn,” she said.
She described how Gunner Beck felt powerless by how Webber was dealt with, telling her: “I got a letter, he got a promotion.”
“The assault shattered her faith in the system that was supposed to look after her,” Miss McCready said.
“I truly believe that what he did and how it was handled broke something inside her that she couldn’t repair.”
Mr Beck told how Webber was a man of large build in a position of authority who had assaulted his daughter.
“She was only 19. I could see what he had done completely changed her. It broke me to see that light go out in her.”
Miss Beck said: “Jaysley called me that day after the incident and explained the actions of Michael Webber,” she said.
“She was disgusted. Michael Webber had severely frightened her that night.”
The court heard Webber, who is divorced with an estranged teenage daughter, served in the Army for 22 years and 128 days before leaving in August and now works as a lorry driver.
Representing Webber, Matthew Scott said: “He is devastated by what happened to Miss Beck.
“He doesn’t seek to shy away from his responsibility for what happened, he accepts through me that his actions on that night on Thorney Island contributed in some way to the tragic outcome when she took her own life in December,
The military is determined to make sure it does not repeat the same mistakes made over Gunner Beck, and since her death has introduced a significant cultural reform programme, Major General Jon Swift, Assistant Chief of the General Staff (ACGS), said.
The deepcut barracks murders were homosexual attacks, no woman is safe in the military,
any woman who joins is seen as fair game
There are ~800 US bases around the world. Move them there.
nuke Trumps warmongers !
LOL! It’s good for these punks to experience some of their own medicine!
It doesn’t matter who is president; both parties work only for Rothschild Jewry. They’re nothing but Rothschild agents, faithfully following the orders of its masters, like the crypto-Jew Trump. Anyone “elected” president is nothing but a shill for Jewry and a traitor to their nations & people. The US and all western nations have lost their sovereignty a long time ago to Jewry!
Like I said a hundred times, Trump 2.0 will end in disaster. Orange MIGA pig is circling the wagons, he’s pissed off everyone on the left and the right:
https://rumble.com/v711ws0-israel-is-losing-control-of-the-paradigm.html
You all need to start asking, is Trump a cwazy shlomo?
The are obviously fleeing there for their own protection, but protection from what?
If they are starting a world war and expecting retaliation on US soil from other nations with nuke delivery systems (which for a change would be a rational deduction for the them to make), then why would there be any more protection on a US military base than in living in the Washington and Langley suburbs or cities? Would not the military bases be the logical targets in a real war and not another CONTRIVED one with the other leading powers and one designed to kill off the NON-ESSENTIAL citizenry? We are heading for 2030, are we not? And, is it not the case that the ruling ownership class has to cause in some way the mother of all perils in order to herd us into their planned technocratic controls grids? So what will it be? A staged or contrived WWIII with a about 100 million causalities, as the mother of all threats to herd us into their controls, or something less dramatic?
As all of them are total stooges of the international banking cartel and money power, then they could also be preparing for something like a Covid II but with a very lethal bioweapon virus instead in order to kill off the non-essential half of the human population, and the at the US bases they will be totally protected, with early injections? The US military has created Ebola and Marburg virus delivery systems which could be released in the same way they released the SARS-CoV-2 virus, but those viruses are very deadly, and there are vaccines or curative treatments which only work with very early intervention or with special preventive protections.
Or, is it because of the coming crash of the dollar and the fact that money power has screwed up everything they have touched through their mass deceptions, corruption, and plundering, including our health, our fecundity and our security that they actually foresee the people finally rising up against them.?
NEWS FROM THE TRENCHES
Cambridgeshire train stabbing: 10 people injured by migrant in stabbings attack; police arrest two suspects – latest updates
Story by Yohannes Lowe The stabbing attack has caused widespread shock across the UK.
A spokesperson for the Rail, Maritime and Transport union said: “We are horrified by the mass stabbing attack on an LNER train last night.
“Our thoughts remain with the train crew and passengers who were either at work or going about their business on a busy Saturday night during this awful incident.
“It is important we allow the emergency services and authorities to establish the full facts before commenting further.”
At first he thought it was a sick Halloween joke.
Commuter Olly Foster had been listening to an audio book on the train as it sped through Cambridgeshire when a man ran past him,
yelling “Run, run, there is a guy stabbing literally everyone, everything.”
But the horror on the man’s face told him it wasn’t a prank at all, Foster told the BBC, as he recounted the harrowing attack.
Yet another petition has begun to send all the migrants back
government take no notice of petitions
milions signed for no war on iraq
milions signed to be rid of churchill statues
milions signed to give tony blair a good kick in the bollox
milions signed to prosecute kier starmer for helping israeli terrorism
all petitions were ignored
Hahahaha All I see in that photo at the top is a bunch of shameless opportunists and traitors waiting to take their turn slobbering on kike cock. All of them deserving of being chased through the streets and hanged. Though I can’t say that I’d say no to a 3-way with the two woe-men in the pic first…certainly infinitely more pleasing to the eye than the utterly grotesque and utterly deranged cross-dressers that O’bunghole or Pedo Joe Bribem kept around.
“[Colostomy bag Marco] Rubio spent one recent evening assembling furniture that had been delivered to the house that day” … Too bad some maniacal chink didn’t spring out of the “Made in China” box with a machete and carve that festering shit-wad to ribbons.
The solution for those imbeciles isn’t just to move to military bases, the better idea is to encircle all of that open sewer known as Washingstein District of Criminals and the satellite cesspools with walls and razor-wire…then incinerate the whole f*cking thing with all of them in it. If 9/11 and the Convid-19(84) full-spectrum terror war on you and yours didn’t teach you that the feral federal regimes regard you as the enemy, then you haven’t been paying the least bit of attention.
