Pete Hegseth’s Speech at the Naval War College

The Secretary of War’s sweeping Pentagon reforms are exactly the defense revolution America needs, and exactly why the Democrats want his head on a pike.

In a cabinet of superstars, Pete Hegseth shines among the brightest. His willingness to take on the corrupt Pentagon procurement system and the Woke FOGO and Deep State establishment — oh, and his willingness to blow up pirates, smugglers, and drug runners just like in the earliest days of the U.S. Navy — has earned him the wrath of many on Capitol Hill, including the entire Democrat caucus and (of course) Thomas Massie.

They would much prefer the War Department to feature drag queens and struggle sessions. Hegseth demands something different: lethality. As a result, he commands loyalty, certainly from the extraordinary number of young Americans filling the services’ recruiting quotas, and also from the President. Whether or not you’ve given it, he’s earned yours too.

In this remarkable address to the Naval War College yesterday, Secretary Hegseth offers a very different vision for America’s defense than the social engineering disaster of the Obama-Biden years. It’s refreshing...

In summary: the Impeachment of @SecWar is simply a form of Lawfare by formerly male, who's now @jamestalarico's favorite Trans @RepThomasMassie... Massie has crossed the line and become engaged in acting "under the color or law", and by definintion, engaged in sedition against

InfantryDort on X:

"This is a phenomenon of late stage republics. It’s what happens when a society becomes so feminized and bureaucratized that it begins to fear the very qualities that once kept it alive.

This is lawfare on the grandest scale. The process becomes the punishment. It’s what happens when a civilization mistakes restraint for virtue, aggression for evil, and procedural obedience for courage.

Eventually, the men who can’t wield the sword discover they can wield the law against those who do. And the cowards who would never stand before an enemy become the judges of those who must. It is backwards.

But above all, it is unsustainable."

O it’s “Thin red line of ‘eroes,” when the drums begin to roll.

Thomas Massie wants to impeach our Secretary of War during time of war and Elon Musk is the traitor?

His willingness to take on the corrupt Pentagon procurement system

I knew that was at least part of it and it's not just the DoW. Defense contractors have ridiculous influence with Congress people. I've had contractors complain to my bosses and threaten their cushy post-retirement jobs with them when I questioned invoice accuracy. One small example--but they add up--GDIT billing 24 hours to configure a single network switch. Then there was the vendor who was a constituent of Orrin Hatch trying to making us evaluate their POS network device through him. Unfortunately, the thing was mysteriously DOA when we received it and we just couldn't test it because it wouldn't power up. No idea how that could have happened...

Mr. Massie, as long as you continue to call it an entrance, you will be uncomfortable.

Well, according to Scott Galloway, Elon Musk is a traitor to the West and should be executed. What's he mean by "the West"? California, Oregon and Washington State?

Gutfeld and his guests were having a lot of fun at Galloway's expense last night.
