Pete Hegseth has been nominated as Secretary
of Defense by Donald
Trump, but that giant of intellectual wherewithal,
Whoopie Goldberg, has declared Hegseth "clearly knows nothing about the
military", and Whoopie absolutely knows all about the military because
she played a bar tender on Star Trek, like OAC was a bar tender after
graduating cum laude from Boston University in 2011 with a bachelor's
degree in international relations and economics. And she could only get a job as a bartender? Odd, don't you think?
At any rate, while Whoopie wasn't
a member of Star Fleet in that show, and of course it really wouldn't
have matter anyway because none of that was real, but hey, let's not get
picky! Right? After all, that's Whoopie's job to be picky, so, let's
take a look and see if Whoopie knows what she's talking about.
Hegseth is 44, a combat veteran, commissioned as an officer in the Minnesota Army National Guard joining in 2002 serving in Iraq and Afghanistan.
He twice earned the "Bronze
Star, [he's authorized] to wear the Joint Service
Commendation Medal, two Army Commendation Medals, three Army Reserve
Components Achievement Medals, the National Defense Service Medal with a
Bronze Service Star, an Afghanistan Campaign Medal with two campaign
stars, an Iraq Campaign Medal with two campaign stars, the Global War on
Terrorism Expeditionary Medal, the Global War on Terrorism Service
Medal, the Armed Forces Reserve Medal with “M” Device, the Army Service
Ribbon, two Overseas Service Ribbons, the D.C. National Guard Emergency
Service Ribbon, a NATO Medal, a Joint Meritorious Unit Award, a Combat
Infantryman Badge, and an Expert Infantryman Badge.
He
retired as a major, and refers to himself as a recovering neocon now
believing invading Iraq was a mistake. He has critical insights on
weapons procurement, training, DEI insanity, planning, and more. But
Whoopi says he "clearly knows nothing about the military".
She
must have used the same logic when she said Jill Biden was a great
doctor and should have been made Surgeon General. Jill Biden's degree was in
education, not medicine.
To be a leftist requires massive mental capacity. Why? To
justify their irrational views, and twisted logic must require
unparalleled mental gymnastics. Fortunately, they're so obviously nuts,
ordinary people with ordinary mental capacity can see through it all.
But that's not a deterrent to the left. They lie, they know they lie,
we know they lie, and they know we know they lie, and the brilliant
conclusion these mental giants on the left come to is since everyone
knows it all a lie, it isn't really a lie after all. Ergo, why stop lying?
Gaetz
was defeated as Attorney General even before he left the gate, and the
claim is he knew he was guilty of something and couldn't face the
music. He said the Justice Department investigated him and didn't
charge him, and if he was guilty, he'd be in jail now. So why did he
quit? There were five Republican Senators who absolutely said they
would not vote for him, three of whom thought Merritt Garland was
perfectly acceptable, all five of which need to be primaried when their
time comes.
As for releasing the House
Ethics Committee report on him, which are usually filled with
unsubstantiated claims..... he said, she said stuff. But, I'm all for
it, provided they release all the ethics reports, which have hidden all
the provable vile antics of many of those in Congress, especially in
those cases where government money was used to silence their accusers.
So now they're going to go after Pete Hegseth, and Tulsi Gabbard,
which in her case I have to wonder how did she made the journey across
the aisle from adoring Bernie Sanders to becoming a MAGA fan. Just a
thought mind you.
Know you're friends by their enemies, and Hegseth has all the right enemies.
CNN's Van Jones Explodes Over Trump’s Defense Secretary Pick because he thinks the military needs no correction, and he's a military expert? He's a
political analyst, media personality, lawyer, author, and civil rights
advocate. Actually, that's what he's paid for, but in reality he's just
another a race baiting hustler, with no military credentials or
experience, so he's just doing what he does best. The race baiting
hustle, and Lloyd Austin is no better. And he's not alone in the military or Department of Defense, which is filled with:
.......[a] regime of left-wing four-star generals and DoD lackeys [which] has
produced one of the most disastrous tenures in the Pentagon's history.
We've had spy balloons flying over the entire continental United States.
We had the Afghanistan withdrawal disaster, which cost the lives of 13
American servicemembers and became a stain on the nation's history.
Russia invaded Europe during the last four years while China and Iran
have seen a resurgence in power and influence. The Middle East is the
most unstable it has been since the end of Trump's first term.
Then
we have Fauxcahontas, Elisabeth Warren, "who stole a job from a
legitimate minority at Harvard" declaring he would make the military
unsafe. A military which is focused on DEI insanity, climate change,
and electrifying America’s military forces
is going to be unsafe if Hegseth is confirmed? Really? There's more, and it
seems likely all these panicked voices may be connected to Obama, who "has been running a shadow presidency since he left the White House
in January 2017."
The Democrats/socialists/communists
and DEI misfits scream he's not qualified, it's racism, white privilege,
he's too young, he's a media guy. Well, he's 44, he has excellent
military experience and performance, a lot of media people have migrated
into administrations in the past, and I really don't care if black race hustlers are upset
he's going to fire a DEI general, and probably a lot of white ones.
After all, considering the disaster of the Afghanistan pull out, who are
they to criticize anyone? It's time to eliminate DEI in the military
and demand MEI, Merit, Excellence, and Intelligence.
This brings me to the rape scandal, a vile and unending tactic by
the left. While he admits to a sexual liaison with this woman he claims
it was consensual, and it was she who was the "aggressor" and there's
video evidence to that, which is all confirmed in the police report. The only crime committed here looks like is an effort at extortion by this woman.
This kind of thing no longer has the impact it did in times past.
The Establishment’s Scandal Scam Tactics Won’t Work Anymore.
The Pravda media cares little for the truth, they only care about
framing an innocent man and destroying him for political purposes, and
it's just not working any longer.
He has his defenders also. Scott Jennings tore into Pentagon leadership, he called him an 'American Hero', and Bill Ackman says he will be a revolutionary leader for the military, GOP Senators Express Confidence in Hegseth’s Confirmation, and I agree. I just hate the tattoos.
