In the bigger picture, the U.S. Senate has been operating to control the military against the command of the President for multiple years. The Intelligence Community is in general alignment with the core mission of weakening the Defense Department as part of the larger objective.
We have seen this approach in everything from the castration of General Petraeus to the advancement of wokeism. The civilian leadership of the Defense Department, in combination with the influence of the U.S. Senate has led to a diminishment of mission priority. We have the outcomes through General Mattis, General H.R. McMaster, Lt Col Alexander Vindman, General James Kelly, all the way to Joint Chief’s Chairman Mark Milley; famously culminating in Milley collaborating with Chinese military leadership to undermine his own Commander-In-Chief, Donald Trump.
President Donald Trump has turned his focus to the “war fighters,” the men and women who carry out the mission objective of the Defense Department. The nomination of Pete Hegseth represents the confrontation of a power struggle that has been decades in coming.
The self-serving Senators are trying to block Hegseth, while maintaining a position of pretending support for President Trump. The DeceptiCon republicans in the Senate are in full circling mode, looking for a weakness to exploit.
.
According to Hegseth he is firm on the mission priority. President Trump is in full support and the schemes of the conniving Republican Senators, transparently visible in the efforts of Senator Jodi Ernst, who is circling the phalanx President Trump is creating – while simultaneously inserting herself into the DOGE mission. Ernst is doing Mitch’s work, under the instructions from Thune and Mitch. See Ernst with clear eyes.
Hegseth is a key component of the phalanx, the fortification process that puts President Trump at the center of the cabinet. Each component of the cabinet protecting the center.
The phalanx is the mechanism to carry the weapon that is President Donald Trump. The DC UniParty is looking for a weakness in the phalanx like a wolf circling a porcupine.
.
Once you understand what President Trump is assembling (the phalanx) and once you accept the mission of the DC system to defend itself by isolating a weak spot in the mechanism, then everything from the assembly of the cabinet to the process being discussed makes sense.
Within a phalanx, if one shield drops the entire construct is compromised. The strongest shields need to surround the core with ferocity.
The recent Supreme Court decision affirmed the President of the United States as the unitary, plenary power that controls every mechanism of the Executive Branch of government, and as long as the President is acting within his “official duty” he holds absolute power and absolute immunity.
Think of each cabinet member as a shield in this political phalanx that surrounds the weapon, President Trump.
Yes, the phalanx is by construct an offensive fortification used to advance upon the enemy. However, the strength of the phalanx is its ability to be impervious to attack from 360°. The phalanx advances, inch by inch against a larger fortification. In the transition team assembly, this is what President Trump is putting together.
If Hegseth wasn’t a strong shield against their interests, his attack vectors would not be exploited this soon in the assembly. They are focused on Hegseth because he represents a threat, a threat to remove decades of work done by the IC and their Senate supporting mechanism to weaken the U.S. Military.
The Senate wants the United States military to report to them, not to the U.S. Commander-in-Chief.
Besides the destruction of the US Military by Deep State and Congress, “Secretary” Hegseth would publicly expose via the Budget process how the CONGRESS has authorized the use of the US DoD as the money laundering entity for Ukraine Aid, which is major factor in US Defense decline.
As an aside, one of the major jobs for President Trump’s new congressional liaison MUST INCLUDE review the REPROGRAMMING LANGUAGE of all spending bills authorized by congress, to insure money CANNOT be moved by Deep state underlings as well as includes triggers for any attempts at reprogramming.
Reprogramming is how aid to the Ukraine, IRAN, Hamas, ISIS, COVID19 aid to cities, illegal immigrant welfare, et al is actually funded, after Congress authorizes the expenditure. The un-obligated funds from any Government Agency with congressionally authorized funds are REPROGRAMMED without oversight or need for authorization to reprogram.
Then … oh my oh my … there is a shortfall and more spending for Government agencies loosing funds has to be topped off by CR’s, Emergency spending, etc. … followed closely by US Government Debt increase authorization.

Wow…let is all come to light. Let it all be placed in the faces of every Democrat, every RINO, every UniParty puke who has stolen taxpayer money, thrown people in jail, ruined lives in order to keep “their democracy” which has so been threatened.
Thank you, dear Jesus, for bringing us President Donald J. Trump and all of the true fighters who will be putting everything on the line to save this country from those who have been trying their best to destroy it!!!
And every one of those Senators involved in this need removed upon that action. We The People cannot allow this attack on our duly elected President’s authority, even if it means repealing parts of the 17th Amendment to the Constitution. Enough is enough from them.
I watched his interview by Megyn Kelley. She was her usual blunt self with pointed questions but she let him talk. It was a good platform for him to give his history and explain all the smears from anonymous sources. I know the msm will ignore what he said. They have to take a knee to their handlers…as Sundance says…there are trillions at stake.
Hegseth must hang in there.
I can’t see a woman, Joni! or a JAG officer Ron! as Defense Secretary right now.
Morale and full RESPECT is needed to rebuild.
I just emailed Joni Ernst…you would NOT believe how much stuff her form “requires”. Of course, an alias helps and I got a dig in about her moral character with her lover overseas
I’m calling all 6 of the UniParty blockers today.
What is she doing with DOGE???? Doesn’t she have enough to do to run the country?
Do tell! Also wrote asking if it’s bribes or blackmail. Let’s keep the emails going to her!
Ernest needs to be called and reminded who we voted for and it was PDJT. She sat idle while he was smeared with Russia, Russia, Russia, impeached twice, charged with made up crimes and took a bullet to the head. He deserves every nominee he puts forward and if Ernest isn’t happy about it get her outta there. Burn the phone lines down and let her know. It’s up to us to stand by PDJT against these global elitist who know better than us worker bees.
Time to kick deep state a–…….Trump should push every nominee through with out senate approval. Wait till they recess and stick it to them. Then start chopping the legislative perks in the budget and force them to hand him a balanced budget. But, we all know they will over ride any veto because most of them are sorry a– POS butt licking dickheads……
The vehement attacks on Hegseth just illustrate how scared the left is of his getting the power to reverse all the stupidity and corruption the Dems have done…he must be seated and I hope the Republicans will fight and stand strong against the corrupt Democrats. It’s time to end this madnesss…….
Correction: “all the stupidity and corruption the Dems AND Republicans have done….” There, fixed it for ya’ – nearly all of these pieces of s__t come out of the same horses’ butts.
Just wondering, are there any democrats likely to or have said they are a Y for Hegseth
I searched around a little, no joy.
Anonymous sources, used to be called rumors. Pete is right, once upon a time they were laughed off along with a stern look and a why should I respond to that nonsense? It’s a complete circus I can barely tolerate listening to, but I do to try and understand. (an echo chamber of clowns that feel self important)
Dear Pete, don’t let the hard days win.
“ Once you understand what President Trump is assembling …”
A MIGA cabinet?

Call Joni Ernst to express your disapproval. (202) 224-3254
I was listening to Megyn Kelly today and she said rumor is that Jessie Jane Duff is the one who released the information on him. I thought she was conservative, I see her on Newsmax occasionally. Does she want the job too?
The fact that the Deep State (Swamp) is outraged over Hegseth tells me that he is EXACTLY who we need in that positon. The Uniparty Decepticons who voted for that moron Austin need to be reminded constantly of that bit of lunacy.
President Trump, if you are listening, please, PLEASE, stand by your man!
