The Pentagon's Grim Reaper Cometh Duane Patterson FTA: It seemed at least for the last three or four days, there might not be the wall-to-wall contentious fights ahead we on the right anticipated. Then came the announcement from Donald Trump late Tuesday afternoon that he had chosen his nominee to be the next Secretary of Defense - Pete Hegseth. Once the texts started streaming in on my phone, I knew it was time to buckle up, because we were going to encounter unexpected turbulence. The Hegseth choice is certainly Donald Trump thinking outside of the box, which in and of itself is actually a good thing considering the sclerotic atmosphere at the Pentagon. But you can just hear what the complaints are going to be, right? He's a Fox News host. He's unqualified. He's too young. He hasn't run anything. He's not a thinker. The confirmation hearings are going to be nothing short of spectacular. This nomination will be the one scalp the Democrats in the Senate are going to try to claim. You can just see it coming. After spending some time last night reviewing the record and recordings of Pete Hegseth, I've come to the conclusion that Pete is going to do just fine - both in his confirmation hearing, and on the job as SecDef. The primary objection seems to be that he's a media guy, as though that's suddenly dispositive for not being qualified to go into government. I'm sure that same standard will be applied to the parade of Democrats that have established a conduit between government service and regime media. {snip} The sin of omission in this argument, though, is that nowhere among the left's baying at the Moon is his military service both on active duty and in the Minnesota National Guard, including tours in Iraq, Afghanistan, and Guantanamo Bay, as well as his work as executive director of both Concerned Vets For America and Vets For Freedom. Pete is 44-years-old. By comparison, the Late Donald Rumsfeld, veteran of two stints at DOD under Presidents Gerald Ford and George W. Bush, began his first tour at the age of 43. Age is not a factor here. As for allegedly not knowing anything, regime media and Democrats are overlooking a Bachelor's Hegseth he earned from Princeton, and a Master's from Harvard. He's also done think tank work in his past, affiliated with groups like Americans For Prosperity. He's no dummy. Hegseth, if confirmed, is going to be a disruptive force at the Department of Defense, something that building desperately needs. https://hotair.com/generalissimo/2024/11/13/the-pentagons-grim-reaper-cometh-n3796939 .

Here's Trump's Plan to Purge the Pentagon of the Woke Brass by Matt Vespa President-elect Donald J. Trump is sending signals to the military brass. They’re going back to protecting our country, killing our enemies, and enhancing our national security. The era of woke nonsense and sensitivity training is over. The Wall Street Journal first reported on Trump’s plans for the Pentagon, alluding to the “chilling” effect it could have on the officer corps, but the president-elect has a mandate and should use it. The reported executive order would create a “warrior board” of retired generals and other senior personnel who would review the leadership qualities of the officers in question. There’s no re-election effort lingering overhead either, so don’t be shocked if this executive is issued. It’s time to clean house https://townhall.com/tipsheet/mattvespa/2024/11/12/heres-trumps-plan-to-purge-the-pentagon-of-the-woke-brass-n2647695#google_vignette .

MANY HEADS MUST ROLL: Fired FEMA Worker Accuses Agency of Lying: Bypassing Trump Homes ‘Not an Isolated Incident.’ Marn'i Washington, the FEMA boss who was let go after it was revealed that she ordered her crews to bypass homes with Trump signs in hurricane-ravaged neighborhoods in Florida, now says that FEMA was lying when they claimed her actions were an "isolated incident." https://pjmedia.com/rick-moran/2024/11/12/fired-fema-worker-accuses-agency-of-lying-bypassing-trump-homes-not-an-isolated-incident-n4934220#google_vignette .

Trump names Elon Musk and Vivek Ramaswamy to head Department of Government Efficiency - 'Manhattan Project of our time' by Nikki Schwab President-elect Donald Trump has officially named Elon Musk to head the newly created 'Department of Government Efficiency.' Trump put out a statement Tuesday night saying that Musk will co-lead the 'Manhattan Project of our time' with former Republican presidential candidate Vivek Ramaswamy. 'This will send shockwaves through the system, and anyone involved in Government waste, which is a lot of people!' Musk said in a statement. Republicans have long complained about government over-spending and Trump touted that DOGE will accomplish its goals by July 4, 2026. https://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-14075357/donald-trump-elon-musk-vivek-ramaswamy-government-efficiency.html .

Republicans Can’t Afford To Elect Another Mitch McConnell As Senate Leader by Rachel Bovard Last Tuesday, America sent a resounding message to Washington when they elected Donald Trump and gave Republicans majorities in the Senate and likely the House. D.C. Republicans now have one job: Don’t screw it up. For Senate Republicans, this means closing the book on the Mitch McConnell era of governance marked by heavily centralized management and open hostility to the Trump agenda and the Republican base. On Nov. 13, they will elect a new leader for the first time in nearly 18 years and have a chance to usher in a new leadership that is accountable to the conference and the priorities of the evolving base of the Republican Party. https://thefederalist.com/2024/11/12/republicans-cant-afford-to-elect-another-mitch-mcconnell-as-senate-leader/ .

WHAT ?? They lied about the circumstances ?

TRUMP TAPS FOX NEWS HOST PETE HEGSETH FOR SECRETARY OF DEFENSE: President-elect Donald Trump has selected Fox News host Pete Hegseth to serve as the next secretary of defense. Hegseth’s appointment, which is sure to attract the ire of Democrats* given his long-standing association with Fox, will require confirmation by the Republican-controlled Senate. Before joining Fox in 2014, Hegseth served as an Army National Guard captain in Afghanistan and Iraq and earned the Bronze Star medal for his service in the latter. “Pete Hegseth has been an exceptional host on FOX & Friends and FOX Nation and a best-selling author for FOX News Books for nearly a decade,” Fox News Media said in a statement. “His insights and analysis especially about the military resonated deeply with our viewers and made the program the major success that it is today. We are extremely proud of his work at FOX News Media and wish him the best of luck in Washington.” The Princeton and Harvard graduate has been most vocal advocating on behalf of veterans, serving as executive director of Vets for Freedom from 2007-2010. He was even considered by Trump to lead the Department of Veterans Affairs during the former president’s first term in office. Few had Hegseth on their radar for the prominent role, as Trump seems set on wasting no time filling out his cabinet ahead of his second term in the Oval Office come January. https://www.nationalreview.com/news/trump-taps-fox-news-host-pete-hegseth-for-secretary-of-defense/

We already have a thread for this. I would humbly suggest that we leave Tibs to his own fevered nonsense. . . . . . talking with himself.

AGREE.

TRUE.

FEMA Official FIRED for Avoiding Trump Supporters Spills ALL the Tea on FEMA Higher-Ups and HOOBOY Before you read and watch this, we would once again like to remind everyone how when Trump pointed out FEMA was reacting differently to people based on their political ideals he was mocked, teased, and ridiculed by the mainstream media, leftist pundits, Hollywood, and other hateful mouth-breathers who obviously wouldn't know the truth if it fell out of the sky, landed on their big dumb faces, and started to wiggle. Case in point, the FEMA official who was fired for avoiding homes with Trump signs ... well, she wasn't exactly acting alone. And she's spillin' the tea. If you watch, she's convinced she has done nothing wrong and is just following protocol WITHOUT actually understanding how eff'd up that protocol really is. Not to mention she just gave up all of FEMA proving they do indeed show political preference when helping Americans after a disaster. https://twitchy.com/samj/2024/11/12/fema-official-selling-others-out-n2403691

What's he so upset about ? It was just a "clump of cells".

Racism, sexism, and homophobia running rampant in the United States is the only explanation for Donald Trump's victory. What else could it possibly be? After all, the economy was booming, peace reigns in the world, working-class people love the transnational elite, and Joe Biden's approval ratings were astronomically high. And, of course, Harris ran a nearly flawless campaign. I mean, how could it possibly have been better? That, at least, is the view from the left. They are hallucinating a reality that does not exist in modern America. It's all about "Whiteness," you see. Trump supporters were willing to sacrifice their safety and prosperity to prop up White Supremacy. https://hotair.com/david-strom/2024/11/12/the-left-is-hallucinating-n3796895
