Drudge Retort: The Other Side of the News
Wednesday, April 29, 2026

Secretary of War Pete Hegseth erupted emotionally during his Congressional hearing when California Rep. John Garamendi (D) accused him and Donald Trump of lying to the American people, calling the US aggression against Iran a "war of choice" and a "quagmire." "Shane on you!" the Secretary of War barked without dignity. Meanwhile, acting Pentagon Comptroller Jules Hurst III testified that the cost of the ongoing US quagmire for the benefit of Israel is estimated to be costing American taxpayers $25 billion so far, as the conflict nears a 60-day mark and impeachment proceedings are underway in the House for Pete Hegseth (H.Res. 935) who is asking Congress to certify the DOD name change to Dept of War.

Operation EPSTEIN FURY is costing the hardworking American taxpayer billions and billions of dollars and the US government will have even less money in the future for Medicaid and Medicare.

The next generation of Americans will pay for the Big Beautiful Bill and this stupid and illegal war on behalf of Israel which accomplished nothing but a quagmire which raised our fuel and food prices and is imperiling the global aviation industry.

Every coupla three years I seek out an old school mixologist who fashions me a heavenly "Old Fashioned."

That's how it all begun.
We were - knee deep in the Big Muddy,
But the big fool said to push on ... .

"Sergeant, go on! I forded this river
'Bout a mile above this place.
It'll be a little soggy but just keep slogging.
We'll soon be on dry ground."
We were, waist deep in the Big Muddy
And the big fool said to push on.

(Pete Seeger, "Waist Deep in the Big Muddy")
