    No joke: Wired wants you to believe this is a bad thing. The Young, Inexperienced Engineers Aiding Elon Musk’s Government Takeover Engineers between 19 and 24, most linked to Musk’s companies, are playing a key role as he seizes control of federal infrastructure. WWW.WIRED.COM https://www.wired.com/story/elon-musk-government-young-engineers/ "Elon Musk's Government Takeover" Gotta love the pea-sized brains over at Wired. Elon Musk's takeover of federal government infrastructure is ongoing, and at the center of things is a coterie of engineers who are barely out of — and in at least one case, purportedly still in — college. Elon isn't taking over anything. He's...

    Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth is expected to announce he will cancel former Chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff Gen. Mark Milley’s security detail and clearance — and direct the Pentagon’s acting investigator general to launch an investigation into whether the retired soldier should be demoted in rank, Fox News reported Tuesday. Despite retiring from the Army in September 2023, the Secret Service has continued to protect Milley due to Iranian threats of retaliation on him for his role in the drone strike ordered by Trump in 2020 that killed Tehran’s Gen. Qasem Soleimani. Trump last week removed the protective...

    Secretary of Defense Pete Hegseth has reportedly pulled retired General Mark Milley's security detail and ordered the Department of Defense IG to convene a board to determine if grounds exist to reduce Milley in rank for actions that "undermine the chain of command" during President Donald Trump's first term. Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth will announce he is "immediately pulling" retired Gen. Mark Milley's personal security detail and security clearance, multiple senior administration officials tell Fox News. The secretary is also directing the new acting Inspector General to conduct a review board to determine if enough evidence exists for Gen. Milley...

    A Massachusetts man arrested at the U.S. Capitol with Molotov cocktails and a knife told police he was there to “kill” Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent, according to court documents filed Tuesday. Ryan Michael “Reily” English, who turned himself in to U.S. Capitol Police at 3:12 p.m. ET on Monday, said he traveled to Washington, D.C., initially planning to kill Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth and/or House Speaker Mike Johnson, R-La., a police affidavit said. But English shifted his target to Bessent after stopping at a library in Chevy Chase, Maryland, and reading that the Senate was voting Monday on Bessent’s nomination...

    Gateway Pundit ^ | January 28, 2025 | Cullen Linebargar
    Disgrace General Mark “White Rage” Milley finally got his long-awaited comeuppance. Fox News exclusively reported Tuesday evening that Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth will “immediately” pull retired Gen. Mark Milley’s personal security detail and security clearance. But the news gets even better: Hegseth will order the new acting Inspector General to conduct a review to ascertain whether evidence exists for Milley to lose a star in retirement due to his deceitful actions “undermining the chain of command” during President Donald Trump’s first term. Fox News also reports that a second portrait of Milley will be removed inside the Pentagon. This one...

    To me, whenever all the Democrats line up united on an issue, as the Democratic Party senators did for the vote on the nomination of Pete Hegseth for Secretary of Defense, I always have a question. And that’s different from the question of why a guy like Sen. Mitch McConnell (R-KY) would vote with the Democrats. Just what was their problem with Secretary Hegseth? I mean, it’s not as if he’s going to blow up the Department of Defense and replace Boeing and Lockheed with a brilliant Elon Musk startup and compromise all the senators’ contributions from defense contractors. Seriously:...

    "The integration of the military racially was a huge success. -- Pete Hegseth Sure sounds a lot like George Wallace circa 1963, doesn't it?? Hegseth might as well have been barring the Pentagon's door! That is, if you believe Kate Bedingfield, Biden's former communications director, now spinning wildly on DEI as a CNN commentator! Today's CNN This Morning began a segment on Trump's changes to the military with a clip of Hegseth during his confirmation process making a statement that included the line above in praise of the racial integration of the military. Bedingfield bizarrely cast Hegseth as the modern...

    Bipartisan criticism and public outcry leads to the reinstatement of a video honoring the heroic Black pilots of World War II, highlighting their enduring legacy in American history. The uproar over the U.S. Air Force’s removal of a video of Tuskegee Airmen from its curriculum in response to a DEI ban has reached the highest levels of government, causing them to make an about-face. Now, the Air Force says it will return the video about the famous Black World War II pilots to the service members’ curriculum, with confirmation from the new incoming secretary of the Department of Defense, Pete...

    Sabrina Singh was Deputy Press Secretary at the Biden White House until she became Deputy Press Secretary at the Pentagon in 2022. On MSNBC's The Weekend on Saturday morning, Singh was still shilling for her old boss, Defense Secretary Lloyd Austin. Displaying some mixture of chutzpah and obliviousness, Singh repeatedly criticized incoming Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth as unreliable: "The job of the Secretary of Defense is a 24-hour job. You can get calls in the middle of the night, at all times. I remember my boss, former Secretary of Defense Lloyd Austin, being in the Indo-Pacific and getting a call...

    Republican Sens. Lisa Murkowski of Alaska and Susan Collins of Maine are hinging their opposition to the confirmation of President Donald Trump’s pick for secretary of defense, Pete Hegseth, on their alleged concern that he is not fit to handle the pressures of the Pentagon job.Their paragraphs-long attempts to justify why they are going against the will of their GOP voters, however, pale in the face of their voting records for a cabinet member who abandoned his post twice without notifying Congress.Murkowski announced Thursday on X that she “cannot in good conscience support [Hegseth’s] nomination for Secretary of Defense” because...

    Pete Hegseth’s nomination for secretary of Defense has reportedly hit a new snag. This confirmation was always destined to face fierce resistance, with Democrats offering unrelenting opposition and the media happily running interference with their smear machine. As we previously reported, Sens. Lisa Murkowski (R-Alaska) and Susan Collins (R-Maine) have already announced their opposition to Hegseth’s confirmation, but a third Republican U.S. senator is allegedly joining them. ... Hegseth previously managed to advance from the Armed Services Committee by the narrowest margin, a 14-13 party-line vote. On the Senate floor, cloture was invoked at 51-49, barely avoiding a situation where...

    WASHINGTON—Two centrist Republican senators said they opposed the nomination of President Trump’s defense-secretary pick, Pete Hegseth, injecting new drama into what was expected to be a nail-biter of a vote Friday. In a statement Thursday, Republican Sen. Lisa Murkowski of Alaska said Hegseth’s “nomination to the role poses significant concerns that I cannot overlook,” pointing to worries about his character and his lack of experience running large organizations, as well as his past opposition to women serving in combat roles in the military. “I cannot in good conscience support his nomination,” she said. Sen. Susan Collins (R., Maine) followed with...
