"Gaither said he was not concerned about the cross, it was the "Deus Vult" that worried him.

The same phrase had been brandished on banners by the Jan. 6 rioters a few days earlier.

Hegseth, a former National Guardsman and Fox News commentator who was nominated Tuesday by President-elect Trump to be defense secretary, was pulled from inauguration service. Hegseth later wrote that he saw the incident as a rejection by the military.

"The feeling was mutual"I didn't want this Army anymore either," Hegseth said, recounting the episode in his book "The War on Warriors," published earlier this year.

"Twenty years, and the military I loved, I fought for, I revered spit me out."

Hegseth is "somebody who appears to be more interested in going to war with the Pentagon and with our service men and women than preparing them for potential war with our adversaries," said Rep. Jason Crow (D., Colo.). "

Trump only hires the best people!

That's how Trump, victim of Stormy Daniels, knew Pete was the right guy for his team!

Meet @frmikeschmitz. He's a Catholic priest and hosts one of the most popular podcasts on the planet, Bible in a Year.

Like multitudes of Christians over the centuries, he got a Jerusalem cross tattoo when he visited the holy land.

Does anyone wonder if the Illinois Gov has an "I heart MS13 tattoo" because he seems to adore them as Chicago neighbors and illegal immigrants with we Americans stuck paying for them as crime victims and otherwise.

Red MAGA caps used to create scorn of Democrats. Now they create envy in and by every demographic. Go into any urban black and Hispanic barber shop and everyone wants their own red cap while doing the Trump MAGA dance. Democrats have become a very old boring culture that no one wants connected to or recognized with.

Democrats are broke and have stuck their employees with the bill and lies. Clyburn still thinks he has credibility. He has none.

Well, if he gets his way, it will be only servicemen.

He doesn't want women to serve the Country.

Apparently that Christian Nationalism tattoo of his seems to indictate that he thinks a women's place is home in the kitchen.

@#8 ... So, iow he's a nut ...

Yup, that seems to be the case.

The lame #4 attempt to defend the tattoo [intentionally?] ignores how that symbol seems to have been usurped by far-right extremists.
