Pete Hegseth takes charge of Pentagon

While the Agenda Media characterized Pete Hegseth as a controversial pick to be Secretary of Defense, the more accurate description would be nontraditional. For instance, this UPI article reports "Defense Secretary Peter Hegseth has ordered senior military and civilian Pentagon officials to cut 8% from the Defense budget over each of the next five years. Hegseth's memo issued Tuesday directed the five branches under his command to turn in budget-cutting proposals by Monday, two officials told The New York Times. The Washington Post also obtained the memo."

That's either sloppy journalism or intentionally misleading reporting. It might be a little of both. According to this video report put out by Secretary Hegseth himself, the first 'cuts' aren't cuts. According to Hegseth, it's money that the Biden administration was spending on DEI and other nonlethal programs. The money will now be "repurposed" to make the U.S. military into a lethal fighting force that isn't interested in using the right pronouns but is interested in using the right weapons in the right situations. Check this out:

Part of the reason why Trump picked Hegseth is because Pete's a combat-wise street fighter. Anyone that thinks the Military Industrial Complex will take this sitting down is kidding themselves. That's why they've 'enlisted' the Agenda Media in this turf fight. Here's the Gospel according to Pete Hegseth:
"The time for preparation is over; we must act urgently to revive the warrior ethos, rebuild our military, and re-establish deterrence. Our budget will resource the fighting force we need, cease unnecessary defense spending, reject excessive bureaucracy, and drive actionable reform including progress on the audit."
The Gospel according to the Agenda Media:
One senior official told The New York Times that the cuts appeared likely to be part of an effort to focus funding on programs that the administration favors, instead of actually cutting the Defense Department's $850 billion annual budget.
Secretary Hegseth made clear that there's a method to his budget-cutting madness. The goal is to build lethality into the military while ridding the military of Biden's DEI agenda.

There's a new sheriff in townn at the Pentagon. His name is Pete Hegseth.

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...

Has Sue Ek come face-to-face with DFL hijinks?

Apparently, Minnesota state and county employees aren't that attentive to details. Last night, a frequent reader of this blog sent me a statement from House Speaker-designate Lisa Demuth, R-Cold Spring ." She issued the following statement regarding vote tabulation errors, malfunctions, and discrepancies that have taken place in Sherburne and Scott Counties: The errors and discrepancies we've seen this cycle are intolerable and unacceptable. A free and fair election demands sunlight on the process. These incidents fuel distrust and raise questions about the integrity and accuracy of election results. Without an opportunity to observe or respond Sherburne County added newly-found votes to the total. Just a day later, Scott County announced an unspecified "ballot distribution error" and "ballot scanning malfunction" that triggered an abrupt re-scan of more than 20,000 ballots. There was less than two hours notice between the public announcement and the be...
