How Hegseth Proved His Contempt for What Truly Makes America Great He claims that honoring the fallen makes the president look bad. Perhaps he should listen to Lincoln.

Hegeseth is as disgusting as he is ignorant: www.thedailybeast.com/how-hegseth-...

I don't remember this justification for war when I was studying for my masters degree in military ethics.

During a Medal of Honor ceremony?? I hate to say it again, but "If Biden acted like this..."

This is the ad that Fox News does NOT want you to see.

Fox News rejected our newest ad, which demonstrates that Trump has “gone too far” with ICE.

But we will not remain silent in the face of these attacks.

Trump Casually Denigrates NATO’s War Dead The president has revised history when it comes to the sacrifices of America’s allies.

And why wouldn't he? PVT Bonespurs already denigrates the American suckers and losers who served in uniform, why not those of our allies who came to our defense after 9-11?

So how are we doing this week…

1. Demotion and reduction in pay for Captain Mark Kelley
2. Invasion of Venezuela -- for oil
3. Threats of invasion of Greenland
4. Rewriting of January 6 history
5. Murder of American citizen by ICE agent (plus cover-up and lying).

AND IT’S ONLY THURSDAY!

Never forget January 6, 2021.

"…and Magda Goebbels made a great strudel.”

The President of the United States is threatening to go to war with an American city.

This is not a joke. This is not normal.

Donald Trump isn't a strongman, he's a scared man. Illinois won’t be intimidated by a wannabe dictator.

Benefits for whaling captains in Alaska took food away from hungry children and healthcare for millions of Americans.

Proud of these "Military Brats"!

Humphreys High School students protest anti-diversity, equity and inclusion initiatives outside their school at Camp Humphreys, South Korea, April 10, 2025. (Fiona Yang)

Students at more than a dozen defense dept. schools in the U.S., Europe, Korea, Japan + Guam walked out to protest orders rolling back DEI initiatives.

Some of the signs displayed slogans, such as “We are skipping our lesson to teach U one” and “All history matters.” #Flashes

He doesn’t care about those who’ve served. Never has. Never will.

As a loyal CA Dem, Newsom lost my respect with his Charlie Kirk podcast. This is the last nail in the coffin -- and I told him so. He totally lost my vote for anything he does in the future.

As a loyal California Democrat, I am outraged.

As a loyal California Democrat, I am EXTREMELY disappointed in what Newsom has done in this podcast. Charlie Kirk??!!

We're back to "Kill 'em all, then let God sort it out." Disgrace after disgrace after disgrace.

If Biden had done this it would have been a major story that consumed the media for the next week.

This is fun

A must-read from @marcelias.bsky.social on his Jewish values and how they guide his fight to defend democracy.

Thanks for the reminder!

This is in line with Hegseth's urging Trump to pardon war criminals -- which he did. The definitions of Duty, Honor, Country are being redefined.

Trump's EO accuses transgender soldiers of living in conflict “with a soldier’s commitment to an honorable, truthful, and disciplined lifestyle, even in one’s personal life.” The same EO will reinstate soldiers who disobeyed legal orders to be vaccinated for Covid, which is the epitome of dishonor.

Union for Reform Judaism President and CCAR member Rabbi Rick Jacobs shares powerful thoughts on the requirement of clergy to speak the truth of their tradition: "Bishop Budde's homily invoked countless biblical verses when she pleaded before the President that he show mercy for the most vulnerable in our midst, including LGBTQ people and immigrants. Indeed, the Hebrew Bible alone repeats dozens of times the obligation to protect the widow, the orphan, and the stranger - emblems of the most at-risk community members in biblical times and beyond. The Hebrew word "Ger" is translated as both "migrant" and "stranger." While in many cases there are multiple authentic readings of scripture, the import here is unambiguous: protecting those most at risk is a religious obligation... This weekend many, if not most, religious leaders across our country will feel obligated to weigh in on the words shared this week between a pastor and a president. Some, fearing for their safety and employment, will steer clear of these explosive issues. Others will find authentic ways to speak the truth. And to be clear: the example set by Nathan was not in his willingness to forcefully challenge a leader he did not support, but rather his willingness to call out the behaviors and policies that violated the core commitments of one's faith. I pray for Bishop Budde and for President Trump, for all of my colleagues in the clergy, and for this noble

Portrait of General Milley Is Removed From Pentagon (Gift Article) The decision was an early salvo by the new administration against a military that President Trump has assailed for a variety of perceived offenses.

If you served, you know. Having a wall of all the previous Chairmen’s portraits is about honor and tradition, even though I’m sure many of those men had some beefs with their presidential bosses. Removing the portrait is petty, ignorant, and damaging to military honor and tradition.

A photo of Senator Tammy Duckworth with a quote overlaying the photo that reads: "You say you care about keeping our armed forces strong and you like that our armed forces [are a] meritocracy. Then let's not lower the standards for you. You sir, are a no-go at this station." — Senator Tammy Duckworth to Trump’s Defense pick, Pete Hegseth

Senator Duckworth is right.

Pete Hegseth has no clue how to lead our armed forces.
