Pete Hegseth handed America's war colleges 33 DIRECTIVES this morning. By Wednesday the House has to take a floor vote on impeaching him.He announced them to the students of the Naval War College in Newport, Rhode Island. On the war colleges' own mission statements: "The word 'win' is entirely absent. The word 'defeat' does not appear."
So the 80-page thesis is out. Competitive war games and exams are in. New civilian faculty get three-year contracts, not lifetime tenure. Colonels fresh off an operational command get a Warfighter Chair at every senior college. The war games and the chairs are due in 180 days.
To the professors who think they can "hide behind academic, civilian academic tenure" and wait out President Trump's term: "They're wrong. They're dead wrong."
Back in Washington, Thomas Massie, the Kentucky Republican his own voters fired in May, files his eight articles of impeachment today. Hakeem Jeffries, whose party takes the House in January, is a "hard yes." It takes three Republicans voting with every Democrat. Don Bacon of Nebraska, also on his way out of Congress, told CNN this morning: "I'm weighing it."
President Trump, Sunday: "He's guilty of two things, basically winning two wars." Then: "It's awfully hard to say let's impeach somebody who did that."
You don't hand out 180-day deadlines from a job you expect to lose.
That's not a man waiting on a verdict. That's a man handing out homework. 💎

Just to note, impeachment doesn’t mean he loses his job. To lose his job, he has to be convicted by the Senate with 2/3rds majority. The Senate leadership (ha!) can pull a Schumer and decline to even hold a trial like they did when Mayorkas was impeached.
Massie is such a lowlife
He sure is, just like with the Epstein files, you NEVER heard Massie under four yrs of Biden EVER mention his name, until Trump won, then its all that came out of his trap
Yea, Thune will probably make sure Pete isn’t convicted so he can become Minority leader. When it’s for him and not the country he’ll find a way
I guess the Naval War College is largely getting out of the business of awarding Master’s degrees, if a Master’s thesis is out. A good advisor, a challenging topic and an aggressive defense of a thesis have contributed much to US military strategy. Oh well.
After observing what awfulness occurred at my academy alma mater during the &*^&ing Biden years, I strongly distrust ANY military member that goes along with the low IQ butt-kissing slime that will be inserted into command of our military in our new Democrat/Muslim complex. Sorry, but that’s whaat this has come to.
Massive is a maggot and termite. He should go to his master Bernie the Communist Sanders.
