All American girl. Tell me I'm your national anthem, baby.

My thoughts/opinions about life, and your one stop shop for coverage of Pete Hegseth.

Using a pen name for this for various reasons.

Pete Hegseth is not going to resign.

He should go have a long stay in the best dual diagnosis rehab.

He's not giving up this house, the power over the military "squares" that "wronged" him, and his chance to finally making daddy proud. This is his wet dream.

I was messing around with that picture editing app I accidentally subscribed to, and found that they have an AI filter that dresses you in a fur coat and hat and portrays you eating orange wedges at a bus stop in the snow.

Извините, почему?

AIDE: Secretary, you need to consult lawyers

HEGSETH: you know what I called those lawyers back when I was in the service?

AIDE: ...

HEGSETH: Say it

AIDE:you called them JAGo

HEGSETH: JAGoffs, that's right. Because they are. I don't need rules, war has no rules.

AIDE: [clicks "end recording"]
This really is nuts

I had Grok give me analyze the podcast. Apparently Pete spoke almost three times as many words as she did. If Grok's transcription and summary is correct, they don't let their kids do extracurricular activities and Jenny homeschools them using a Civil War "lost cause" etc curriculum.

🚨BREAKING NEWS🚨

I’m partnering with Rep. Massie & @joaquincastrotx.bsky.social to introduce a War Powers Resolution that will force a vote in Congress to block Trump’s insane escalations against Venezuela.

No one except Trump wants this war—so I’m going to use every tool I have to stop him.

Now loss, however cruel, is powerless against possession, which it completes, or even, affirms: loss is, in fact, nothing else than a second acquisition—but now completely interiorized—and just as intense.

Oh. My. God. I just heard some psychopath say that removing safety standards makes cars cheaper. And it hit me how so much advice that Americans bandy about these days is just "eat bitterness." Not happy at work? Can't afford what you used to? Can't find love? Lower your standards.

Fuck that shit.

The media glazing of the commander overseeing the Caribbean boat strike, Admiral Bradley, is embarrassing.

Here's NYT granting anonymity to say he was "a top-notch fellow"; then some former SEAL a decade ago delivering this pearl: “I have yet to meet a finer person, much less a finer SEAL.”

I would say it’s a clown show, but these clowns kill people and will get people killed in the future so it’s not really that funny or entertaining.

Mood disorders suck. But once you are aware that you have one, you can learn coping skills (see: DBT), and recognize, "I'm in a disproportionately shitty mood re:events. It's OK for me to not do things that will make me feel worse and focus on what will make me feel better." Alcohol is never a what.

I see kicking out the pentagon press corps stopped the leaks
MORE Breaking on MS NOW: Pete Hegseth refused an interview request for the Pentagon Inspector General's investigation into Signalgate, according to two sources who read and were briefed on report.

Hegseth would not turn over his phone, a source who read the report told MS NOW.
Breaking on MS NOW: The Signalgate report contradicts Pete Hegseth's claims he did nothing wrong. It shows he "violated policy by using a non-approved device," a source who read the report says.

Hegseth failed to preserve records. The report says he put the operations and service people at risk.

Also allows them to make decisions for people and communities, pick who is worthy of their money and control what it is spent on.

How about paying people more money to begin with so less working people need nonprofit help to survive, and government proudly funding arts and other community projects?
Can I let you in on a little secret?

Billionaire philanthropy isn’t charity.

It’s PR to distract you from low wages, labor exploitation, and a tax system that’s rigged for the rich.

Pete Hegseth acting normal, I mean he may be bombing boats but...

Oh wait, that sentence can't be finished.

In an alternate dimension, these niceties matter. Too little too late now tho

Jim Acosta need to study a bit more at the library, but "baby Gap skinny tie" did make me giggle.

Also I may be addicted to the news. But at least this was the longest video I watched all the way through!

Woah. Newsmax’s legal analyst just said Pete Hegseth and everyone involved in the illegal boat strike should be “prosecuted for a war crime.”

They’ve even lost Newsmax on this one.

Skimmed through that podcast on pause. The parsing wasn't smooth, but think she talks 5% of the time and spends the other 95% just looking at Pete.

Such a weird dynamic...I need a night off from this bullshit, maybe someone will watch it and clock Jenny Hegseth's total talk time so I don't have to?
