Pete Hegseth vs. Lloyd Austin

The Deep State is doing its best to besmirch Pete Hegseth's name. If this were the Oscars, NBC would be nominated for Best Actor while CBS would be nominated for Best Supporting Actress. Duane Patterson's article highlights when NBC and CBS jumped the shark.

Patterson wrote "In the wake of another Beltway special smear job originating out of NBC News, but gleefully echoed by CBS and other elite media, 10 anonymous sources have allegedly claimed that Hegseth has a severe drinking problem, and it impacted his performance on air at Fox News. Hegseth vehemently denies it, as do 10 more Fox News current colleagues that have gone on the record to call BS on the NBC story. Before yesterday, there seemed to be a growing sense that there were going to be too many Republicans in the upper chamber queasy about walking this plank, and two different names were floated as replacements - Senator Joni Ernst of Iowa, and Florida Governor Ron DeSantis."

If this is the best that NBC and CBS have, then Hegseth will get confirmed, then become the next Secretary of Defense. Replacing Austin can't happen soon enough. It's worth noting that NBC and CBS relied on anonymous souces for their stories while Fox, the network that isn't supposed to be a real news network, is on the record with 5 people, aka Lawrence Jones, Steve Doocy, Emily Compagno, Brian Kilmeade and Will Cain.

Former FNC Anchor Gretchen Carlson insisted that the woman couldn't come forward because she'd signed a nondisclosure agreement. That's fair enough. What isn't said, though, is that the NBC article relies on multple anonymous sources. It's difficult to believe that they all have signed NDAs.

Pete Hegseth was interviewed by Megyn Kelly yesterday. He said that he can't wait for the FBI investigation:

LLoyd Austin's unexcused absence

Lloyd Austin disappeared for 4 days during a major Middle East flare-up and didn't tell the National Security Council or the White House that he was hospitalized:

Would Afghanistan have happened if Hegseth had been in charge? I'm betting it wouldn't have. If it had, I'm totally certain that Hegseth would've fired a handful of generals before the day had ended. If Biden had balked at the firings, I'm confident that Pete Hegseth would've gone public to disgrace our commander-in-chief. It's time to replace this national security team with the Trump national security team. It can't happen soon enough -- 46 days is too long to wait.

Tim Walz's Confederate Flag Fiasco

Image
After Minnesota's Democrats shoved the most controversial progressive legislation down Minnesotans' throats, gossip started popping up about Gov. Walz being interested in running for president . That's died off but Gov. Walz is still making headlines, this time for all the wrong reasons. First, Gov. Walz isn't the brightest bulb in the chandelier. Still, Gov. Walz is fighting against Minnesota's history. This Alpha News article quotes David Hann, the chairman of Minnesota's Republican Party, as saying " The flag the DFL has eliminated was a version of the historic flag our regiments fought under during the Civil War. Minnesota was the first state to offer troops to the Union cause in 1861 , beginning a long tradition of leading the nation in confronting injustice. The DFL quest to erase our history is repugnant and should be rejected." Gov. Walz, though, sees things differently. He's quoted as saying "Minnesota is a diverse state, it continue...

What is Kamala Harris afraid of?

Image
Apparently, Kamala Harris suddenly loves debating. Let me rephrase that. Harris loves debating as long as the moderators are partisan hacks. She wants nothing to do with a debate moderated by Fox's Bret Baier and Martha MacCallum. She's afraid of Bret and Martha because a) they'll either fact-check both her and Trump or they won't fact-check either of them and b) Bret and Martha aren't afraid of asking follow-up questions. To a candidate whose answers are scripted and who isn't quick on her feet, the last thing you want is a follow-up question. Kamala fears follow-up questions like vampires hate wooden stakes, sunlight and holy water. Why has Kamala Harris avoided Fox News like the plague? The moderators/propagandists fact-checked Donald Trump aggressively but didn't fact-check Harris . Why didn't David Muir and Linsey Davis fact-check both candidates equally? Is it because Harris doesn't like fair fights? Perhaps she's just afraid of getting exp...

Why is Joe Biden letting Hamas off the hook?

Image
It isn't disputable whether Joe Biden's administration is letting Hamas off the hook. That issue was settled months ago, when a spineless Joe Biden caved to activists interested in saving Hamas and thwarting the Israelis' attempt to defend themselves. Gerard Baker's op-ed highlights what's at stake for the U.S. if the terrorists are permitted to survive. In his op-ed, Baker wrote "If, under the pressure of internal Democratic politics and global public opinion, the Biden administration forces a 'cease-fire' that leaves our closest ally in the region short of victory over an enemy that seeks to destroy it, sooner or later we shall all pay the price." It's time to revisit George W. Bush's speech to a joint session of Congress on Sept. 20, 2001. It's required that we remind ourselves of one of its most important paragraphs. In talking about who committed the atrocities of 9/11, President Bush identified al-Qa'ida as "a collectio...
