Defense Secretary Nominee Pete Hegseth paused for an impromptu press gaggle with assembled media following another day of discussions and questions from Senators. WATCH:

I bet a member of her staff wrote that. You know, one of her millennial underlings.
DEI hire, I’ll bet.
Like the Fake Indian herself…
The Fake Indian has lied about being an Indian her whole life. She lied to advance her career at every step of the way. PDJT got under her skin enough that she took a DNA test that showed ABSOLUTELY NO Native American ties. Anyone else might be embarrassed to keep being blatantly wrong in anything or everything they do after that.
But NOT….THE…FAKE….INDIAN. She is a COMPLETE and TOTAL embarrassment. I say this as a lifelong resident of Massachusetts, who NEVER voted for her and NEVER WILL.
Lieawatha: “Yes, no DNA,…but my Papaw had high cheek bones!”
Another Fraudulent, Lying Marxist Dim!
A good number of people with northern European heritage can have high cheekbones.
GLAD the Senator ( ELECT ) Jim Banks Gave a PUBLIC ENDORSEMENT of PETE.
SAVES Me an Email to Him Again – Tho He Voted for THUNE 🙁
Now for the ” Get ALONG, GO ALONG ” Todd Young
WHO ALSO Voted for THUNE
Any Senator considering voting against:
Ever been to a dc cocktail party?
Show your prescription list, please.
Let’s compare Pete to that thug that holds the position now. The one that used to inspect the troops wearing a hazmat suit. The guy that looks like he just won the Memphis BBQ cook off. ‘Who has a tendency to ….disappear…..every now and again.
He’s qualified but Pete’s not?
Respectfully sir, I will not stand for the smearing of fine bbq chefs everywhere. They work hard and contribute wonderful things to society. Lloyd Austin probably can’t even make a decent slice of toast, even if you set up the toaster for him and provide him with the tastiest toastiest bread. The smell of bbq and the smell of Lloyd Austin couldn’t be further apart.
Chef 🥩
Prior to his current position, Lloyd Austin worked as a chef in a small town in Colorado….
Don’t insult Issac like that! LOL
Costco meets DEI.
An absolute moron. An embarrassment to our nation. And those are the nicest things I can say about him..
Memphis barbecue is fabulous.
Defense Secretary Austin is an ugly creature who with the vile Secy of State Antony Blinken orchestrated the withdrawal from Afghanistan. I thought the Taliban is our enemy yet these creatures left billions of dollars in equipment to our enemy.
They also are responsible for the death of 13 American servicemen and women. They also killed a big Afghanistan family falsely labeling them as terrorists.
Most Republicans Senators voted to confirm these men who I consider traitors.
Insanity, but where in the hell does one go for help in these situations? The whole camp is crazy.
Spot on.
My understanding was that Girth Vader was removed from a couple of commands in his active duty past for incompetence.
Where I have to submit to screening to maintain my commercial driver’s license, I think it’s the least we can do to require regular drug testing for those we entrust with the responsibility of administering our Republic.
GO PETE…👏👏..just what America needs right now .. a WORRIOR…🇺🇸💪👍
🇺🇸💪😀👍
and a Warrior.
Thank you for that correction.
I am the worrier.
We need Pete the warrior.
Hope he’s right.
Pete speaks well, and I like the things he wants to get back to. I hope he is confirmed.
His wife is bursting with pride, BTW. This is the way you want your wife looking at you while you are in public. Couldn’t help but notice.
WOW….YOU sure know about everybody else’s business. Let’s look in your closet!
See above reply. Everyone got stuff in their closet , that is why they call Him Savior.
Not ABT, h6
If you look in mine– will you please organize it!
Any citations to go with these accusations?
Hell hath no fury….
Where is the name of the marrried woman who consensually had sex with him? Her husband and children were staying in the same hotel. She lied to her husband to cover for her scoring a lay with a celebrity, then extorted Hegseth. I want to see her name. I am weary of the anonymous accusers, let her put some adulterous skin in the game.
As for you, you should dig more deeply into the moral failings of the people populating D.C. Very few saints there or for that matter, very few saints anywhere.
Heck this goes on everywhere!
I read he was single at the time. So, do you know this is true or are you just making up crap because you don’t like him?
Noticed and was paying attention to her reactions, she is Proud of her man.
Im more worried about him running the military than who he slept with. If you want a saint to go and kill people….tough find.
Compared to the pedos running the armed forces now Hegseth is a Saint.
Not nice to smear and defame someone without backing up your claims with links to the proof. Otherwise, you are just spreading malicious Internet gossip!
The National Enquirer is that way ——>
Exactly. I believe that he will be confirmed because he comes across as honest and very courageous, which are traits rare if ever seen in a guilty soul. Besides those Senators sitting in judgment will be doing some self-soul searching.
Mic drop…
Trust God. Fear not.
It is stunning to me to watch these imbecilic propagandists blather on and pretend that they haven’t been caught. Their world comes to an end next month.
A double standard?
It seems Senator Ernst has also had allegations levied against her for an affair while on active duty while she was the unit commander with a subordinate. She denied the charges. https://thefederalist.com/2024/12/04/trump-world-sources-joni-ernst-is-waging-aggressive-personal-jihad-against-hegseth/
If she were nominated she would have to address similar questions.
Just asking some questions:
She needs to just shut up and go away.
left her and Lindsay a nice message today. Also told them we are aware of the SlushFund to cover up sexual immorality so they can stop with the hypocrisy. Told them it would be too bad if a whistleblower stepped forward
And make sammiches!!!!
Is not Joni a deceiver of the Tea Party (and the rest of us) in 2014? Made a 180 degree turn after the election — same game play as Nimirata … 2010?
Whenever they burst onto the scene with a huge splash saying all the right things, be wary. Remember one eye Kinsinger and his jet fighter commercial? All the “conservative” media swooned. For Ernst it was circumcising a hog or something.
One eye Kinsinger -ha ha
🎯
Memo to Ernst and all her RINO colleagues: The Senate is not the HR Department of the Executive branch.
Are you kidding? She is always standing by and beside Mitch in all their photos! Who didn’t see this?
RATs– no longer RINOs.
Republicans
Against
Trump.
🐀🐀🐀 Versus 🦏🦏🦏
i’m from iowa and she needs to go and the sooner the better.pdjt should appoint her.let reynolds fill her senate seat then fire her.
Re: your point #3. DC Draino is getting the idea going of having Kari Lake move back to Iowa, where she was born and raised, to primary Ernst in 2026. I like it!
Does Kari really want to do that all over again for a third time? She has put in so much time and effort with not much help in her campaigns, but the RNC basically let her hang out there alone especially the first time. Where are the repubs investigating her seeming impossible losses? Nowhere. I wouldn’t blame her if she never ran for office again. PTrump should make her an ambassador to a really nice, quiet country and give her a break. She deserves it and so does her family.
She was a bad candidate that burned all her bridges with the AZ GOP when she ran for governor. She is hopeless, just like Palin.
Thank you, Eeyore.
She needs to be reminded of this if she keeps saying Pete is not her choice to be defense secretary because of supposed past sexual encounters and drinking.
Everyone loves a redemption story. Thank God I have one.
Amen to that
To quote a pastor I knew: God knew you were a fixer upper when He purchased you. ❤️
🙂
Two words.
Allen West.
I love the man who sung the “Thank you” at the end 🙂
What a delight to have clear speakers back in those halls.
I can imagine Murkowski being bitter about Hegseth being a ladie’s man.
Hahahahahahahahahahah………………………
I think he’s done and it’s just a matter of time.
“Death of a thousand cuts” ?
And you are…who?
Who am I? Joe Taxpayer.
You’re a dime by the dozen.
You let them get away with this and they will do the same to Patel, Gabbard, and RFK Jr. Time to draw a line in the sand.
some today said Gabbard is next.
Everybody…except maybe desantis. Time to play hardball with these thugs and slugs.
Whatever it takes to fill his team.
Late Friday afternoon is when it will happen, but we don’t want DeSantis to replace him. Can Trump not find anyone that is somewhat reliable and not a former backstabber?
doesn’t sound to me to be a bit down. Blurbs I’m catching is lots of the Senators are with him. He’s making an impression being honest and answering their questions. He’ll pull through. I’m certainly praying that he does, our President deserves the folks he wants. The Senators who question his character have a slush fund to SHUT UP their sexual secrets. I don’t want to hear from them at all. Perverts and deviants. I’d love POTUS to ask how many of THEM served to protect the country. Bat face ugly people
Pete is our Man.
hanna, did you find your way here from the marxist daily?
More likely it’s PETA!
nope, he sounded stronger than ever. He’s going through the fire that NONE of Bidens immoral, ugly, decrept nominees had to do. SHAMEFUL RINOS and SNAKES
No
Absolutely no!!!!
So we need a trans with a bal head and mustache, who steals luggage from real women and likes to screw men in dog masks
Got it
You left out a few words.
I think he’s done well and it’s just a matter of time before he’s confirmed.
…..To which I agree wholeheartedly.
Is that you Senator Ernst?
But open borders and arming terrorists by treasonously and criminally leaving billions of dollars of military weapons & equipment in the Afghanistan Democracy Charade, Obama arming Mexican Drug Cartels makes America more safe? This pretend Indian Lizzie Warren speaks with forked tongue.
Trump Appoints Pete Hegseth as Secretary of Defense
https://thenewamerican.com/news/trump-appoints-pete-hegseth-as-secretary-of-defense/
Small world. Donald Kagan wrote the forward to Douglas Macgregor‘s book “Breaking the Phalanx: A New Design for Landpower in the 21st Century””
Written before 9/11. I wonder if he broke with those Neocon war criminals, or not? Many current MAGA supporters did not start out that way like Greg Gutfield.
Hegspeth did a good job in the interview. A nice touch with the “redemption” grace note, and hat tip to the advisor who coached him to add it.
Bet he gets confirmed, and he’ll do what President Trump wants for him — telegenic and returned the DoD to its primary purpose.
You certainly could add Kamala Harris an Indian pretending to be Black who does not use her husband’s Emhoff name. Perhaps he’s not her husband but her “handler”
and here it comes..
Dog face pony soldier Ernst

This pick could potentially be one of the most important. The Neocons who PDJT cleared out of the GOP and sent back to the DEmonrats, are desperate to finish their plans and start WWIII. Orthodox Christian Russia stepping in and stopping them in destroying secular Syria, really set them back, and thus they started Ukraine war much of which is a money laundering grift and for funding their terrorism. The Afghanistan weapon treason drop was a huge gift to their IC-Takfiri-terrorist mercs.
They told us “Al-Qaeda” did 9/11 right?
“Christians in Syria are more vulnerable than ever before with the government in danger of collapsing. The Syrian government has been the one to protect minority groups, including Christians. If the Syrian government were to lose power to the Islamic State, not only would there be hundreds of thousands more refugees, but tens and tens of thousands more would be slaughtered by ISIS. Russian President Vladimir Putins policies to uphold Syrias government might save Christian lives. Pray for the Christians in Syria.”
– Rev. Franklin Graham (Sep 30, 2015)
“Russia’s Putin Jet Fighters Are Pulverizing Muslim Terrorists. Putin Wins Obama Loses. So why is the U.S. complaining about Russia for bombarding these broad alliance of hardline Islamist groups, which includes both Jabhat al-Nusra and Ahrar al-Sham? What is most embarrassing for the U.S. is that these seized the very weapons from U.S.-supplied so-called secular rebels as a result of Americas botched train-and-supply program. The Russians are basically trying to correct Obama’s stupid mistakes. America cant complain because its al Qaeda and thats who this war is supposed to be against. It is for this reason I say For Putin I loved and Obama I hated!”
– Walid Shoebat [Sep 29, 2015]
well known, at least to us here that is.
Remember the post(s) sundance did exposing lindsey graham, john mc cain, cry baby kinzinger with the rebels in syria who later if i remember right became ISIS.
it’s been very clear who is the bad guy in the world (USA) and who is not
y’all know why they don’t want to confirm him –
he doesn’t check the “fetishist” box for his prospective employer –
Degenerates
Ordering
Debauchers
🤮
All the GOP never-Trumpers and leftists. Are you kidding right now. Trump was indicted and hauled into court over a 30 year old lie, no proof, no date , just on heresay from a psycho that he supposedly flirted with her in a department store. He was sued for 450 million. Hegseth allegation was just 7 years ago, with dates, and text messages, video of him taking her to his room. No problem with him being over security and making bad impulse decisions again. He was married too at the time. But all the good old boys are fine with it. Trump remembers what he was put through, and just watches Hegseth get raked over the coals.
I read that Pete was already divorced when this happened.
The psycho alleged to wear a dress that had not yet been designed…
He was divorced and didn’t know she was married….
He was divorced, he wasn’t the aggressor in this incident , eye witnesses said she was major flirting with him at the bar, that she did not appear drunk at all and she was the married one. Who should you be questioning here again?
🤣 🤣 🤣 🤣 🤣 🤣 You can do better than that, troll.
Standing with Pete!!!
Order #227
I hope the neocons are reigned in – Pete’s a patriot, Ron’s an establishment drone.
Few Americans ever served in the military in brutal combat, so Pete’s or any other war fighter’s redemption story may not resonate as it should. Hence, we get stupid questions from an entitled (but wimpy) media and stupid stories that even civilians recognize immediately as crap.
Bigger picture, Trumps first term he was unable to get most of his cabinet picks approved, he was only allowed who dirty Mitch said he could have. But Bidens people slid into place in a week or two. The problem is corrupt elected republicans. Then and now. Joni Ernst voted for Loyd Austin no problem. But Pete Hegseth is a problem? Give us a break Ernst. Everyone knows you’re a corrupt colostomy bag.
It’s a disgrace for Trump to even talk to DESantis about the Secretary of Defense position. Why did Trump
select Pete in the first place, then? What, Trump wants DESantis to name LARA TRUMP to take Rubio’s
seat. Is that how low Trump can go? If that’s the case, he’s no better than the people he talks about.
What facts do you have to back up any of this?
None but it wields a mean Caps Lock.
Precisely where have you seen Trump say anything like that?
Nowhere. He stands behind Hegseth.
I’ve never seen so many trolls on this AWESOME website.
It means that we are over the target.
Cry libs cry!
GO PETE!
You are correct.
But I’ve actually seen more just before the election. They’ve been licking (rhetorical) wounds lately.
Numbers just starting to increase…
Nasty little liberals, can’t take a joke..THEY LOST😁
Absolutely. The tree is being buzzed tonight. Call them out and flush them away.
Another one who likes to make up crap.
Sebastian Gorka’s Quote….. “If it doesn’t come out of Trump’s mouth it’s NOT True”
And supposdely Trump was gonna offer Mike Pompeo a job as were told for days
and days till well he didn;t and made clear it wasnt; happening.. The media
wanted it to happen.. but it didn;t.. Has DeSantis said anything? who said
those conversations took place..
Is this a fake post? I think you got lost on the way to the real msnbc site you meant to comment on.
Cornyn monst*r ????
Cornyn … basta*d
Ernst … bit*h
“What kind of monster ties a man to his past?”
I think I read it somewhere that the one without sin gets to cast the first stone……..
That one.
These Senators are disgusting. They get all the drugs money can buy for free, delivered to their office. There is a bar where any of them can have cases or a bottle delivered to their office(s) all day long.
They use our money to cover up the sexual affairs from a purposed ‘slush fund’. They can damn well do anything and everything they ‘feels’ like and NEVER be held accountable.
The women get voted in and immediately divorced. Then half of them go on a tirade against anyone who even pretends to believe in Jesus Christ.
I don’t know what the answer is but I just can’t get past the sanctimonious grandstanding of these Pharisees.
Pete Hegseth is very well spoken…a real plus in the verbal confirmation wars being conducted behind closed doors. Throughout his oratory I couldn’t help but notice the look of genuine admiration and affection from the woman standing behind his left shoulder and I thought, “uh, oh, Pete, don’t get into another romantic entanglement during your confirmation process…”
And then I learned the woman is his wife!
Joni Ernst is undermining Hegseth. Her DC / IA voicemail ctrs are full, I hope Americans see through her pretending… w/a freedom index of 55 and a top proponent to forever fund Ukraine, she has no business being considered for anything remotely related to defense.
Hegseth is the perfect guy for the job…
I musta filled the Cedar Rapids one earlier today! 😆
I’m a native Iowan and the woman makes my skin crawl… 100% fake
Time to start emailing or using Ernst’s website contact form.
did that yesterday
Sen. Ernst apparently has spoken to the people of her Home state of Iowa. Which Trump won by 14 points.
https://x.com/charliekirk11/status/1864776462710247886
If true, that’s great news.
JONI ERNST REFUSES TO ENDORSE PETE HEGSETH.
This from a senator who happily voted to confirm Lloyd Austin.
Trump can send Vance to the Senate where he would take over, recess the Senate, and then Trump can appoint Hegs to DoD in the first week.
Boom!
Like there are no skeletons in the chamber coat closets?
As an American citizen I am entitled to know which Senators or Congressmen or women used taxpayer monies to settle sexual or their involvement in illicit schemes.
So far this information is secret. We need transparency now.
You can’t for national security reasons-you could use the information to bribe your Senator into working for the best interests of the American people and the government couldn’t function like that
This!^^
Let’s see the Congressional phones ring to oblivion.
Remind me again what that so-called “slush fund” was for. Yes, indeed “let him who is without sin cast the first stone.” I wager no one in that Senate can cast the first stone.
Maybe it would be a terrific idea to start the whole damned government from scratch.
Hahahahhahhhahhh…………
Lindsey & Joni need to have their phones melted down. PDJT has been through HELL for us including shot in the head. The resistance is all about $$$ that might be cut from Senators campaign funds COUNT ON IT
The cerebral LT. COL. DANIEL L. DAVIS would have been a better choice.
https://web.archive.org/web/20120402210106/http://armedforcesjournal.com/2012/02/8904030
We don’t need cerebral. We need door-kickers.
Ashton Carter was “cerebral”/an academician. Hard pass.
It did seem he opened the door to character issues by asserting he’s no longer the man he was several years ago etc. Well, okay, but then he’ll be called on to describe what he’s referencing, how he’s different today, what he regrets, etc., etc.
Yep, he did a little too much talking; gave the enemy more bullets.
Hegseth’s comment is exactly what his mom asserted during an interview, “My son is no longer the man he was.”
Hegseth’s “changed man” comment was weaponized by the exact same people who make excuses for Biden’s pardon of his son claiming Hunter is now sober.
Evidently Ernst and Graham are the Republican folks trying to torpedo this nomination.
If true these two and any others need to be primaried at the next opportunity.
They both shoulda been properly primaried many cycles ago!
Keep calling them. It could help.
And at the very least it feels good.
Graham and Ernest are trying to axe Pete. Two of the biggest Rinos we need to primary both out of office
If the RINO Republicans in the Senate are successful in torpedoing Hegseth they will be empowered to go after Kennedy, Gabbard, et al…..Don’t let those ratf%ckers get any leverage!! Put them in their place . They are the enemy.
If Ernst and Graham both vote no, then Collins and Murkowsky (spl?) are highly likely to vote no, they are likely already no votes, that would bring him down to 49 yes votes at most.
Elon Musk has stated he will be happy to finance primary opponents against any of RINOs who vote against Trump’s nominees. I wouldn’t mind seeing Ms. Lindsey sent packing.
I am not sure about Markowski didn;t Joe shut down drilling and Anwar (spelling?)
the drilling site in Alaska she wanted and got Trump to open in his first term
Maybe he can say that doesn;t get reopened if you don;t vote my people.
The new Senate will be split 53 R – 47 D.
As long as the RINOs only abstain or vote “present” instead of a hard NO we should still be OK.
RINOs are all cowards so I doubt they will put themselves on record with a NO.
But even if the vote splits 47/47 or any other even split, Vance can break any tie.
In a minute Hegseth blew a hole in the Woke Pentagon.
For the last 4 years these words were missing:
Deter Defeat Lethality Meritocracy
Readiness
War Fighting
ACCOUNTABILITY
Poor leadership gets a lot of good people killed. Afghanistan and Ukraine are two good examples.
Perhaps a PDJT MAGA rally on the home turf of those senators trying to block these nominations is in order. Publicly call them out and shame them for blocking the will of their own constituents who put them in the office they hold. Start with those up for re-election in two short years.
I stand with Pete!!!!!
Joni ❤️ trannies
This sure has put the spotlight on Ernst. Get rid of her.
Here is Joni Ernst praising trans in the military. She says she wants a 🏳️⚧️ fighting force.
Maybe this is why she’s leading the charge against Hegseth?
People in Iowa have a well funded primary challenger ready against her. Her political career is in serious jeopardy.
Video:
https://t.me/CharlieKirk/18357
We are learning a lot about Joni Ernst and the Senate establishment right now. Trump faithful are talking about finding a primary challenger. This is getting very serious.
https://t.me/CharlieKirk/18355
I hope that you’re from Iowa and I hope that you are right. I’m ready to donate.
As am I – ready and willing.
I like this guy. He fights.
Hegseth is one of Trump’s best picks.
