I remember this! Thanks for sharing. In 2019 folks! How quickly utopian, statist, collectivist, UniParty, RINOs forget.
Satan.

BOOM! Shawn Farash goes off on the RINOs who refuse to support their President, who just won by double digit margins in almost ALL of their states!!
This guy is spot on. Well worth the click. Thank you for sharing.
To be frank, we may never know how big Trump won despite the cheating of the utopian, statist, collectivist, UniParty, RINO, Demoncrat losers.
If you look closely, you can see the handles of the knives sticking out from Hegseth’s back that Ernst and Grahamnesty stuck back there. ALL but 7 GOPe senators voted for Austin for SecDef. To include both Ernst and Grahamnesty. Now, they have “reservations.”
We don’t despise these snakes enough.
Especially since Graham likes to use the “the President deserves his team” excuse when supporting Dem. picks.
Patience you are a world class picture finder and poster 🙂
The question remains : are “they” going to let him have his nominations.
We already lost Gaetz…. And he was replaced with a person who wrongfully prosecuted an obviously innocent man – even withholding exculpatory evidence from the defense.
Gaetz can be a White House senior advisor. If Trump wants him, he gets in. Then Gaetz goes to be Florida guv in two years.
Gaetz shall reaper in some capacity to be sure. There is too much talent to be lost; wiser minds know this.
lost

The UniParty cannot even consider allowing a non-politician be the Secretary of Defense; it’s all about THE MONEY!
That’s only one of the links in an extraordinarily long chain. Never forget Ike’s last remarks about the Military industrial complex as he stepped down from office. Yes, concentrate on the complex. It has been almost three-quarters of a century, and we are deeper into it than back then. This nut is going to be exceedingly difficult to crack.
Keep fighting Pete! Let those effing RINO UniParty pukes put their votes on record.
Pete, by staying in you allow the utopian, statist, collectivist, UniParty lies be exposed and debunked.
That allows other “Americans” see what a pathetic bunch of losers the Left is.
Let’s be honest, the pushback from RINO, UniParty senators and Deep State tell us all that this pick is over target.
Keep fighting Pete,
Absolutely love this man.
This is pretty dang persuasive.

Well said Shawn. “I’m tired of this crap” also!
I was not aware of any of this
Parsel-mouthed shrew, not too many days after kissing PDJT’s ring, here they she is again – predictably they will never change judging by the smiling-faced Scaborough.
Mika first throws out that a “comment” (omitted to who made the comment, the contents of that comment).
She ran through her spiel “The comment made about Fox News, or “you know, coverage” about a growing number of allegations about Pete Hegseth’s possible alcohol addition” … omitting to say who made that comment.
Is that her walking back justification that “the comment is a little bit too flippant for this moment that we are in, that she will also want to comment on that as well, (is that their apology?) that they want to make that clear. Make clear? Oh yes indeed, no mention that it was their comment; also not giving the exact comment they made “If you are too drunk for Fox News, you’re very very drunk indeed”.
The double-forked tongue snake followed immediately with the excuse that Fox and them have differences in coverage, but that that’s a good debate we should have often” (oh really?)
and ending with “‘there’s a lot of good people that worked at Fox News who care about Pete Hegseth, (unspoken, but of course) and we’ll want to leave it at that”. No need to speculate what she meant by that.
(According to Chinese lore) right there this deserves the tongue hell Diyu
These 2 are among many prime specimens of liberal media’s hypocrisy. Whether it’s groveling to rivals or cozying up to former enemies, the show’s credibility is as wobbly as ever.
Remember what Scarborough said after meeting PDJT assuring their viewers that their criticism of Trump remains intact. “Don’t be mistaken,” he said. “We are not here to defend or normalize Donald Trump.”

You’re spot on and don’t let those two screwballs upset you because everybody with a sane brain knows that they are nothing but two peas in a nest full of bullshit.
I approve of everything that I just said.
Hegseth is an true infantryman. Note the use of “the knife hand” when he gestures.
The karate-chop like gesture has a long and proud tradition deeply ingrained from the first days in basic training.
Re: Joni Earnst from Iowa
She is a third-tier Senator. A joke.
First, don’t panic, she is after something.
Second, Elon can call the Cargill CEO to say ‘Hi, how’s it hanging dude?’
Third, Kash can call Earnst and talk about the naughty and nice list.

Ratched.
Amen!
I know this about Pres Trump – he respects the enlisted more than the Flag Officers, at least in the military as currently composed.
It is time for fundamental change of culture to what we once were – the best reason for a SecDef Hegseth.
That photo and message hits very close to home with anyone who’s been downrange.
That’s great, but at the end of the day, the SecDef has to run one of the largest, if not the largest businesses in the world, and when not doing that has to run grand strategy. Not sure infantryman background is the best for that.
We have all been there at one time or another.
Joni Ernst supports cross-dressing sex perverts in the military.
Joni Ernst sits on the Armed Services committee.
This position disqualifies her because cross-dressing sex perverts in the ranks are a clear and present danger to national security.
It explains why she might be opposed to Pete Hegseth. It also explains why her position must be rejected with all possible resources. For this reason, if no other, Hegseth must be confirmed.

a standup guy good on this selection from President Trump! He will do well. Congratulations Mr. Hegseth and to your family.
