U. S. Secretary of Defense Nominee Pete Hegseth ...
Was that actually a confirmation hearing or an unmitigated disaster?
Admittedly, I came late to the party for Trump Nominee for Secretary of Defense Pete Hegseth, but I came nonetheless. And I came with thoughts.
Was this an actual confirmation hearing, U. S. Sen. Roger Wicker (R-Miss) and Chairman of the U. S. Senate's Armed Services Committee or an unmitigated disaster?
Though Hegseth, at times, gave as good as he got from the Democrats on the Senate Armed Services Committee its Leader, and a distant cousin of mine on my late father’s side of the family, in the interests of full disclosure, Roger Wicker of Mississippi governed it like a whistleblowing traffic cop from a Sunday Morning Comic Strip!
And maybe its just me, but I come from the Old School of Thought where hearings, while raucous and verbose at times, are largely collegian, last a couple of weeks, and then there’s votes out of committees and votes on the Senate Floor after that, the old Advice and Consent Degree of the business at hand: Governing.
And yet the madness that I saw today on C-SPAN, for heaven sakes, was anything but! That shit was utterly ridiculous. And I’m an ardent fan and supporter of Peter Brian Hegseth. He’s a Man's Man and a Soldier's Soldier through and through. And he leaves me little doubt that if confirmed he will do an excellent job as the next U. S. Secretary of Defense, BUT I was utterly embarrassed, not only for our country, but for our country’s standing in the world.
We are a laughingstock on the world's stage, as it stands today! American Intelligence Services is piss-poor and in places and spaces in the world, right now in fact, that it has NO BUSINESS WHATSOEVER being in, military recruitment is down, and the rent is too damned high overall in this place! The world depends solely upon us to fight its wars and clean up its messes, because we are or at least we were the very best at it, but nowadays not so much. And today’s hearing didn’t help. Sorry not sorry it didn’t, and I realize two or more people can look at and listen well enough to the same things and see it differently. It’s 1,000% true! But for anyone, really, with one good eye and half sense, who’s willing to see can clearly see that that was an absolute shitshow on all counts. And if this is a sign of things to come we are literally, utterly, royally butt-fucked! China and Russia are at our doorstep folks! And the devil don’t knock when they enter into your home or place of business they just kick the doors and windows in and help themselves to your shit. Keep your heads on a swivel my friends, weapons on safety and down range, stay prayed up, yoga’d and meditated in!
DEO VINDICE ET SIC SEMPER TYRANNIS!!!
