Is this too much to ask . Especially on Veterans Day.
It is very sad that Hegseth’s group put a young soldier into the uncomfortable position of having to say ‘silence and respect’

It is absolutely disgraceful, disrespectful and unprofessional that the Secretary of Defense and/or whoever the Hell was with him couldn’t show 5 minutes of dignity and respect on Veteran’s Day at the Tomb of the Unknown Soldier!!! This is just another glaring example of why this asshole should be removed!

Breaking News: Scott Colom, a Democrat, defeated Senator Cindy Hyde-Smith, Republican of Mississippi, in a close race, according to The Associated Press. His win makes him the first Black senator elected in the state since Reconstruction.

If you’ve ever been to the spot at Arlington where Hegseth got reprimanded, you know it’s one of the most solemn, heaviest, emotional places in America. Most would never dream of being loud or laughing while we are there. But Hegseth, on Vet’s Day of all days, is a classless ass.

This is truly abhorrent. Pete Hegseth doesn't know how to conduct himself, even at The Tomb of the Unknown Soldier at Arlington National Cemetery.
His behavior is unbecoming of any visitor to the Tomb, let alone that which comes from a Secretary of Defense.

BREAKING: In a political earthquake, CNN projects that Scott Colom has won election to the U.S. Senate from Mississippi!
He is the first African-American to represent the state in the U.S. Senate in a jaw-dropping 145 years.
His shocking defeat of Cindy Hyde-Smith is sweet revenge, as she pulled out all the stops in 2023 to make sure Scott Colom would never become a federal judge.
So he took her job. Amazing.

It is just win after win after win for Democrats. The country really went blue.
How did this happen?
We have a country where 40% of adults can't cover a $400 emergency without borrowing money.
As of Q2 2026, the top 1% of U.S. households hold approximately $51.85 trillion to $52 trillion in total wealth.

This Australian's reply to Trump's rant about “NATO not being there for America” is perfect.
"Mate. You run a country with 600,000 homeless people sleeping on the street tonight. A country where 40% of adults can't cover a $400 emergency without borrowing money. A country where insulin costs more than a car payment and people are rationing it to survive.
A country where medical debt is the number 1 cause of bankruptcy. A country where women are dying in hospital car parks because doctors are too scared of abortion laws to treat a miscarriage.
You lock up more of your own citizens than any nation on earth. More than China. More than Russia. More than North Korea. The land of the free has 2 million people in cages, and a quarter of them haven't even been convicted of anything. They're just too poor to make bail.
Your life expectancy is going backwards. You're the only developed nation where that's happening. Your infant mortality rate is worse than Cuba's. Your kids do active shooter drills between maths and English while you sell the gunmaker's stock to your mates.
Your minimum wage hasn't moved in 15 years. You've got teachers working 2 jobs and veterans sleeping under bridges and you just spent a trillion dollars flattening a country that didn't attack you.
And you’ve got a convicted felon, adjudicated rapist, paedophile protecting, porn star shagging, insurrectionist, running the biggest dumpster fire war campaign since the Taliban in Afghanistan thanked you very much for losing again.
And you're calling Greenland poorly run?
Greenland has universal healthcare. Free education. One of the lowest incarceration rates in the world. Nobody goes bankrupt there because they got sick. Nobody dies in a waiting room because their insurance said no.
'NATO wasn't there when we needed them." When exactly was that, champ? September 11? Because NATO invoked Article 5 for the first and only time in history FOR YOU.
Soldiers from dozens of countries deployed, fought, bled, and died in Afghanistan FOR YOU. Australia wasn't even in NATO and we still showed up. For 20 years.
And you pulled out at 2am without telling anyone and left them to deal with the mess.
So maybe before you start calling other countries poorly run, have a look at your own backyard, you spray-tanned aluminium siding salesman. The only thing poorly run in this picture is your fucking mouth."

I’m hearing that while the statewide acceptance rate sits at 76%, less than 34% of ballots from Hinds Co were accepted in this batch…mind you, Hinds Co is 70.4% Black or African American.

Pete Hegseth told America's generals that women might not measure up for some combat jobs. A Marine drill instructor, a Navy helicopter pilot and an Army officer with three Bronze Stars just gave him their answer.
All three of them: dworkinsubstack.com/p/hegset…
This is what happens with no oversight and only sycophants around President Trump .
The Congress did not give permission to tear down East Wing.

On Veterans Day, we come together to honor those whose courage, bravery, and sacrifice have made our nation stronger. They represent the best of who we are as Americans.
To our veterans and their families: Thank you.
