HE’S APPARENTLY OVER THE TARGET: Is a Coup Against Pete Hegseth Brewing at the Pentagon? by Matt Margolis Something tells me that the liberal media is trying to force Secretary of Defense Pete Hegseth from the Pentagon. According to a report from Politico, the Pentagon has become a "chaotic" mess because of Hegseth’s alleged influence, and it’s becoming a problem for the administration. “It’s been a month of total chaos at the Pentagon. From leaks of sensitive operational plans to mass firings, the dysfunction is now a major distraction for the president — who deserves better from his senior leadership,” the article claims. “President Donald Trump has a strong record of holding his top officials to account. Given that, it’s hard to see Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth remaining in his role for much longer.” It’s a claim so ludicrous that you almost have to appreciate the creative writing involved. What’s the evidence? A few anonymous complaints and a spin cycle that would make a laundromat envious. John Ullyot, the writer of the article, claims that he’s a Hegseth supporter, yet the Pentagon recently asked him to resign. So I’m sure he doesn’t have an axe to grind. But let’s take a look at what he’s claiming anyway. According to Ullyot, the Pentagon “is in disarray under Hegseth’s leadership.” Curiously, to prove his point, he cites the "Signalgate" kerfuffle as evidence of the chaos, not the successful mission against the Houthi rebels in Yemen. Despite his repeated claims of supporting Hegseth, his narrative sounds like it was lifted straight from the Democrat playbook. I suspect he leans on his supposed backing of Hegseth not out of conviction, but as a shield to lend credibility to what amounts to a repackaged left-wing hit job on the Pentagon. https://pjmedia.com/matt-margolis/2025/04/21/is-a-coup-against-pete-hegseth-brewing-in-the-pentagon-n4939078

Quick reminder: none of these "leaks" being obsessed on prevented the mission from being a complete success.

Trump @realDonaldTrump As a mark of respect for the memory of His Holiness Pope Francis, by the authority vested in me as President of the United States by the Constitution and the laws of the United States of America, I hereby order that the flag of the United States shall be flown at half-staff at the White House and upon all public buildings and grounds, at all military posts and naval stations, and on all naval vessels of the Federal Government in the District of Columbia and throughout the United States and its Territories and possessions until sunset, on the day of interment. I also direct that the flag shall be flown at half-staff for the same length of time at all United States embassies, legations, consular offices, and other facilities abroad, including all military facilities and naval vessels and stations.

Well that went right over Homey's head.

Pope Francis’ death has set off a centuries-old orchestrated series of events to honor his life and legacy, though the funeral for the 266th bishop of Rome will likely differ drastically from those of his predecessors. The beloved pontiff, who died Monday at 88 following a lengthy battle with double pneumonia, made changes to his funeral rites last year that underscore his humility while ditching the traditional pomp and circumstance. Typically, papal funerals are held four to six days after the death in St. Peter’s Square, but Francis had said that, unlike his predecessors, he would not be laid to rest in the crypt of St. Peter’s Basilica. Instead, he opted to be buried in Rome’s St. Mary Major Basilica. He also chose a simple wooden casket, a far cry from his predecessors who would be laid to rest in three interlocking caskets made of cypress, lead and oak The date of his funeral has not yet been announced. The conclave to elect a new pope by secret ballot begins in the Vatican’s Sistine Chapel between 15 and 20 days after the pope’s death. Cardinals need at least two-thirds plus one to elect the new pope, meaning voting can take several days before a new pontiff is chosen. https://nypost.com/2025/04/21/world-news/pope-francis-burial-plans-differ-drastically-from-his-predecessors/

Van Hollen Trainwrecks on the Sunday Shows, Reveals Who's Paying for His Trip by Nick Arama After a week in which Sen. Chris Van Hollen (D-MD) completely embarrassed himself by having a meeting with an illegal alien alleged MS-13 gang member who has also been accused of beating his wife, you might think he would go to ground and hide away in shame. But that would mean he had shame. He apparently doesn't, since instead, he was hitting all the Sunday shows on Easter trying to attack the Trump team and push the twisted narrative of his visit. But even going on friendly stations didn't go well for him. On "Meet the Press," he didn't seem to understand why the murder of Rachel Morin, a resident of Maryland, the state he's supposed to represent, was relevant. https://redstate.com/nick-arama/2025/04/20/van-hollen-hits-the-sunday-shows-n2188071

They do know that he's not there . . . . . . . . right ? He is in India.

Hmmmmmm, doesn't look quite right.

Janice isn't claiming to speak for all women, @PennyRed, but given that you aren't one ('the category of "woman" does not fully describe my lived experience') it's hard to see why you should be speaking for any women at all. Literally nobody thinks the Supreme Court ruling 'legislates trans people out of existence.' Trans people have exactly the same rights and protections they had before the ruling, and unless they've mass combusted while I wasn't paying attention, I'm fairly sure they continue to exist. If some trans-identified people in the UK are currently experiencing rage and disappointment because the Supreme Court clarified that they don't have rights they believed they had, the responsibility lies firmly with activist groups and sections of the media who've persistently argued, falsely, that gender transition turned a person into the opposite sex for all practical purposes in the eyes of the law. You can personally take some responsibility for that state of affairs, of course, because you've spent the last few years enthusiastically championing the removal of single-sex spaces for women and girls.

Cory Booker really thought this was a smart thing to post. Keep in mind, this is the guy who wore a diaper so he could shriek for 25 hours and pretend he actually did something worthwhile. Stand for what? Protecting criminals? Funding wars? Raising taxes? Alrighty. https://twitchy.com/samj/2025/04/20/corey-booker-jane-fonda-n2411643

LOL! HER FACE! Sen. Chris Van Hollen BOTCHES Softball Question About Abrego-Garcia from Dana Bash Watch: Honestly, we're shocked Bash asked him about it. Then again, we're pretty sure she was just throwing him a softball question and giving him an opportunity to clear everything up, but he couldn't because, HELLO, he's in the gang. Oh, and he entered illegally. He shouldn't have been allowed to stay in our country. This is not rocket science. https://twitchy.com/samj/2025/04/20/van-hollen-refuses-to-say-his-bro-garcia-is-not-ms-13-because-he-is-watch-n2411663
