The Narrative: Blame Biden
From “Occupy Democrats”: Democratic Congresswoman Rosa DeLauro (pictured) crushes MAGA Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth for whining about the Biden administration instead of planning for the future: “We have zip! Nada!”“The challenge is our department under the previous administration squandered a lot of that—” said Hegseth during a hearing in front of the House Defense Appropriations subcommittee.
“Please, I want your plan!” interjected DeLauro. “I’ve had difficulty with the prior administration and I don’t mind calling them out. What is your plan for the future!? Can we get that in writing and on paper so that we know where you’re going?”

The meme here reminds me of an incident when my kids were young, and loved to have my wife and me take them to one of the many beaches along the Southern California coast.
If the average American had even a small fraction of the bravery, not to mention eloquence, of the 
Over the past few years I’ve read some really deep analyses as to what’s happened to the United States that draw off the works of philosophers like Hegel and Rousseau.
All I can say on this subject is that it never was my style. I didn’t have a problem saying, “Sorry, we can’t do that, because …. (e.g., we’ll be late for school).
Anyone who thinks Trump cares about the “basic principles of safety” in the communities of Los Angeles is a true moron.
