Why Hegseth Is Still with Us
At left are the words of retired Army officer Fred Wellman, a graduate of West Point and the Harvard Kennedy School, who served 22 years in the Army, primarily in combat as an aviator.
I can only add to what he says that national security and defense clearly means nothing to the U.S. president. It’s all about loyalty. Everything else means zero.
If Trump were to fire Hegseth, the president would be forced to find another stooge, who could possibly be an even greater threat to our nation and embarrassment to the White House.
Here is Patty Murray, serving her sixth term as a United States senator from Washington state, expressing a concern.
This beautifully written piece at left reminds us that most Americans are not capable of discarding the bullshit to which we are exposed on a daily basis, and, in particular, how little threat the transsexual population represents to us.
“Pessimism” is the wrong word here, insofar as it concerns the future. It’s a tendency to believe that the worst will happen; it’s a lack of hope or confidence in the future. While Americans may be pessimistic, what the meme here is about is the present, not the future.
Trump says, “You know, the cost of eggs have come down like 93, 94% since we took office. They are pretty much normally price now.”
Insofar as the world is not currently beset with an epidemic like COVID-19, the subject of people’s “rights” to flout health regulations is not a present-day issue in our daily news cycles. That’s a good thing, but it would be foolish to think it’s going to last forever.

Regrettably, what U.S. representative Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez says here is completely true. The genie is out of the bottle.
There is no proof of this. Yet.
It would be foolish to think that Pope Francis made a dent in the hate and hypocrisy of the Christian right, but at least he tried.
