The Pentagon is telling beat reporters to sign restrictive new rules by Tuesday or surrender their press passes by Wednesday. Many news organizations are rejecting the ultimatum and saying they will not sign. [image or embed]

Drinky Pete thinks that he can control the press and his department--neither of which will happen. Pentagon staff and Military brass will find it even more important to leak stories to the fourth estate. Greater embarrassment of this stooge Hegseth is on the horizon...

LOL. Gotta love Trump's take on the 1st Amendment. You are only allowed to know solely what the Executive Branch wants you to know.

Even in an administration staffed by fools, charlatans, psychos, and clowns, Pickled Pete stands out.

America would be far better off with Hegseth gone than with a tame media ignoring the graft and the grift.

Yes! I guessed Newsmax before I opened this thread!

And... free speech is back!
