The Senate Armed Services Committee is set to convene Tuesday morning for what is expected to be a closely contested confirmation hearing for Pete Hegseth, the veteran and former Fox News host tapped by President Trump for Secretary of Defense. Hegseth’s nomination has created much debate, with Democrats questioning his qualifications and raising concerns over allegations of financial and personal misconduct. However, the results of a routine background check, disclosed Monday morning, appear to provide a boost to his confirmation prospects. Officials involved in the review described the findings as “unremarkable.”
For weeks, Democrats have pointed to Hegseth’s limited experience in high-level government roles as a key concern, alongside allegations that he mismanaged funds during his tenure at a veteran-focused nonprofit. Additionally, accusations of inappropriate workplace behavior have loomed large, though Hegseth has consistently denied the claims, dismissing them as politically motivated attacks. Despite these controversies, the newly released background check may complicate efforts to derail his nomination. While the investigation’s findings are unlikely to assuage critics’ broader concerns, some Republican lawmakers hailed the report as proof of Hegseth’s suitability for the role.

Excellence news.
So they missed out on him ripping out the beating hearts of his victims daily on Fox and Friends? At least that sounds like the Democrat’s version of him.
Next Media Gambit: “Hegseth has been officially called “unremarkable”. That is unacceptable. In these difficult times, we need a truly remarkable SecDef and Hegseth does not fit that bill.”
Sort of like when you go to your doctor, he leaves the room for a minute, and you sneak a peek at your latest medical summary.
You WANT the Medical Conclusion to describe you as
“unremarkable”, b/c that means ‘normal’ or nothing out of whack. This is when ‘unremarkable’ is not (necessarily) meant as an insult.
Exactly
DO THE SAME RULES APPLY to “CALIF HIGH GOVERNMENT ROLES”???
Has he slept with any Chinese spies?
>> ripping out the beating hearts of his victims...sounds like the Democrat’s version of him.
Personally, I’d view that as a SecDef resume enhancer, particularly when the so-called victims are America’s enemies, foreign AND domestic!
‘ Has he slept with any Chinese spies?’
Not that I’m aware of, but he did pay money to a woman who said he sexually assaulted her at a republican conference.
Oh darn...now the rats will have to find the girl that sat in front of him in the 2nd grade to come up with sexual harassment charges....”I swear, he kept on touching my hair without my consent in writing”.
Then are disciplinary proceedings going to be initiated against the US Army commanders that designated him an insider threat?
No, no. He went to a party 20 some years ago and sexually assaulted a woman. I know it, I just know it./s
Has he slept with any Chinese spies?’

Xxxxxxxxxxxxx
But he didn’t take it out of the tax payer funded congressional sexual harassment slush fund
When will they disclose the names of all the congress critters that drew down on that account? Will they have hearings on this?
...per one Chuckie Shoo-mah, senator from Noo Yawk,
“I am deeply troubled.....”....Hegseth could walk on water to his confirmation hearing and it would not matter to these PoS Democrats.....
“Not that I’m aware of, but he did pay money to a woman who said he sexually assaulted her at a republican conference.”
That accusation fell through when it turns out she came on to him, went voluntarily with him to his hotel room, and then screamed “rape” four days later when her husband busted her out on her lies. Yeah, Hegseth paid her off, but that was just to make her go away as is often the way it is done.
Some women have made crying rape into quite a racket. As a woman it disgusts me because it belittles the horrific experiences of so many women who have actually been raped.
DHS head Mayorkas had high level background? If he did why the border is the biggest mess ever?
Wow. Really? So did Trump and half the ‘members’ of congress.
