Petey BOY Hegseth Loyalty Purge Creates “Mass Paranoia” At Pentagon

It’s not like we haven’t known Trump’s ‘out of central casting’ Secretary of Defense is what Trump thought – a TV character. An actor who could no more do heart surgery like a TV character does on a show than Hegseth can run a large organization. Hell, he couldn’t even run two different non-profits that […]

GAO finds millions of dollars wasted, safety and security at risk in Texas detention center

Whether Sen. Mark Kelly advised ‘disobedience’ to service members argued in appeals case

WASHINGTON — Attorneys for the Trump administration argued before a federal appeals court Thursday the Pentagon should be able to reprimand Arizona Democratic Sen. Mark Kelly for reminding members of the military they can refuse illegal orders, and for criticizing the Defense Department. Lawyers from the Justice Department told the three-judge panel that even though […]

Folks At Pentagon Avoid Hegseth So Much He’s Bringing Wifey To Work For Company!

Petey Boy Hegseth has spent his tenure strutting around touting to the armed forces he’s the ultimate alpha male. Worse, he’s been working to remake the military into being clones of himself. Square jawed, “buff” dudes that kick ass and take names. Guys (that’s his goal) who everyone wants to be like and wants to […]

Congressman Ryan Hits Hegseth Where It Hurts – “Those Troops Are Braver Than You Are”

SecDef Pete Hegseth testified to the House Armed Service Committee today. Some in the GOP predictably used their time to polish Petey Boy’s (and Trump’s) lying butt but he did face some scrutiny. And Democrats let him have it but good. None more so than West Point Graduate and combat veteran Pat Ryan who honed […]

Culture of silence around abortions for active-duty military intensifies, researchers say

Researcher Caitlin Gerdts planned to release a new study about abortion access for active-duty military service members, much like the one in 2019 that was published with input from 323 participants. But over a six-month period in 2024, in a new legal environment for abortion access, the research team was only able to find three […]

Limits on speech rights for military retirees at issue in Sen. Kelly case against DOD

WASHINGTON — Arizona Democratic Sen. Mark Kelly’s legal team is urging a federal appeals court to uphold a ruling that allows the former Navy captain to keep his retirement rank and pay while his First Amendment case against the Pentagon moves forward.

How Republicans in Congress could fully fund ICE for years to come — and maybe do more

WASHINGTON — Republicans in Congress are once again looking toward the complex budget reconciliation process as a way to achieve some of their policy goals without Democratic votes. GOP leaders were able to use the special pathway last year to approve the “big, beautiful” law that extended tax cuts, overhauled and cut Medicaid, provided hundreds of […]

Meet the Twinkie At the “War Department” Hegseth’s Handmaiden

Deer Gawd. What we are asked to swallow in this administration. The so called War Department has evidently decided that the propaganda from the White House is insufficient, so it’s got its own broadcast, which is a combination of George Orwell meets the Weekly Reader. Yes, the announcer is a MAGA blonde, what else would […]

Late Night: Hegseth Troops Have Given Him A New Nickname

This is definitely an “OUCH”. The people under Hegseth, as well as the military, are having issues with Hegseth and his behavior. When nicknames start showing up, such as Dumb McNamara, you have to know things are bad. He may have had some respect when it started, but that’s slipping away faster and faster in […]

Hegseth Boasts About Bombing “Narco-Terrorists” – Turns Out It Was A Dairy Farm

I wish the headline was a sick attempt at imitating The Onion instead of a harbringer of things to come. But it’s for real. Meathead Hegseth (MeatHeadseth?) boasted about taking out a “Narco-Terrorist” operation in Ecuador. I guess he’s concerned enough about war crimes at sea he decided to start bombing land targets and avoid […]

Trump asks for massive 43% boost in defense spending in new budget request

WASHINGTON — The Trump administration released its fiscal 2027 budget request Friday, asking Congress to increase spending on defense programs by 43% and decrease funding for non-defense accounts by 10%. The proposal kicks off what will be a monthslong process on Capitol Hill as lawmakers write the dozen annual government funding bills ahead of the […]

Hegseth Bans Stars and Stripes From Today’s Presser

Pete Hegseth is an increasingly angry little man. He’s been lashing out at journalists for NOT being stenographers. He struts around saying Trump is the best ‘warrior’ we’ve ever had in the WH, that everything about him is perfect and no one in human history has ever come close to being as awesomely perfect as […]

I Detest Petey Boy, And I Must Scream

[Rant incoming.] Folks, I get more and more disgusted, then more and more angry, about Petey Boy and his bullshit. The war is bad enough. More on that in another piece, hopefully. But today we have discovered he is what I would call worse than anything Krispi did. He’s quite happy to spend taxpayer money. […]

White House And DoD Insult Our Servicemembers Who Have Died

Okay, which tone deaf member of the government came up with this bright idea? Let’s just say it’s one hell of a way to denigrate the military when we have people fighting. It’s difficult to imagine why they did this. Maybe it was considered a more “modern” way to get attention, but it’s so, SO […]

Hegseth ‘Warrior Boyz’ Mistake Party Balloon For Drone – Shot It Down and Shut Down El Paso Airport

I’ll try to make this short even though it’s a sign of something that should worry the hell out of Americans and allies that still would have a need for American military assistance. The short version is that Pete Hegseth’s ‘warrior culture’ might be causing the troops to be like ICE/CBP as in trigger-happy. Shoot […]
