More: But more issues were in play than "Army transformation." Hegseth's tenure has been disastrous on multiple scores. Instead of giving sound advice to the commander in chief and ensuring that America remains secure while the president fights a deeply unwise war of choice, he has been pursuing his political grievances about DEI and other pet peeves against the U.S. military. Hegseth seems to have a special animus toward the Army, an institution he claims "spit me out." He fired Army Chief of Staff General Randy George, and he has pushed out other senior Army officers; at this point, the Army has no Senate-confirmed chief of staff or secretary. (George's replacement, General Christopher LaNeve, so far does not have the necessary votes to be confirmed.)

Even in less dangerous times, Hegseth's irresponsible behavior would be a hazard to American national security. The Defense Department is a huge bureaucracy; it requires a leader who understands more than the mechanics of teaching trainees how to do push-ups or how to handle a weapon. Secretaries of defense must grasp the economics of the defense industry, the nature of alliances, congressional politics, the policy process, and dozens of other issues for which Hegseth seems to care little and about which he knows even less.

In a time of war, however, Hegseth's shortcomings may prove deadly. Leave aside his early stumbles, including the mishandling of sensitive information. Leave aside, even, that Hegseth dissembled about the severity of Iranian attacks on U.S. bases in the Persian Gulf that had succeeded in disrupting the logistical support for American forces in the theater and led to the kind of deprivations that were suffered by the crew of the aircraft carrier the USS Abraham Lincoln. Hegseth's incompetence, and his commitment to staying in Trump's good graces, helped launch the war itself in the first place.


In 2020, Dummkopf Trumpf's sister, retired USDJ Maryanne Trumpf Barry, was secretly recorded making highly critical comments about him. The recordings capture Barry characterizing the geriatric President as having 'no principles' and being "untrustworthy.' She described her morbidly obese brother as being 'stupid' and a 'phony.' The retired federal judge further criticized Senile Satan, explicitly labeling him as 'cruel.'

The secret recordings were made public in August 2020.

Chopping down harmless, beneficial cherry trees, slaughtering Iranian schoolchildren, terminating transgender servicemembers, letting the Israeli Death Forces (IDF) massacre Palestinians in Gaza every day, arming ICE thugs with "electro-shock torture gloves" and "Terminator K-9" robots, starving people in the Third World, antagonizing America's once trusted friend/neighbor/ally Canada, cutting US medical researchers off from the WHO, spreading Trumpf Diarrhea Syndrome (TDS) throughout the US, are all in a day's work for America's Dracula. Sycophant Michael Cohen is his Renfield.


"FUNNY"

SiriusXM Radio Spitemonger Megyn Kelly's net worth is best estimated at between $45 million to $65 million. This gorgon is another Bill Maher or Joe Rogaine, making a fortune peddling nonsense, hatred, and bile.


Excerpt:

"Just get a divorce. Like, the children are grown. Get a divorce. Barack Obama would have no trouble finding someone to actually love him and root for him and have stars in her eyes for him. No trouble whatsoever. They should get a divorce. Honestly, it's very clear they don't love each other.

"She's not capable of loving him. And how can he love just this steaming heap of nastiness? Like, no one's in love with a steaming heap of negativity.

"That's all she is about everything. Like I say, it's not just him, it's not just the children, time is first lady, my god. She hates everything as far as I can tell except for her current schedule."
