Hegseth has made clear that he thinks he’s on a modern day crusade.
I just want to point out that’s Doug Wilson speaking at the Pentagon. Doug Wilson wants: the 19th amendment repealed, non-Christian religions outlawed, the death penalty for homosexuality, women barred from working or holding office, blasphemy laws, and one party theocratic rule.

Colbert: "They know damn well that every word of my script last night was approved by CBS lawyers who, for the record, approved every script that goes on the air."
Stephen Colbert blasted CBS's denial that it blocked the broadcast of his interview with James Talarico,
"I don't even know what to do with this crap." He then pulled a plastic doggy bag from behind his desk, picked up CBS's statement, tied a knot and mimed tossing it before cutting to commercial.

The Dow was at 43,488 when Trump took office. It just hit 50,000.
So if you had invested $43,488 in the US, you would now have $50,000. But if you had invested the same amount in the rest of the world, you would now be worth $60,000.
