Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth started his first official day on Monday morning, by answering a few questions from the media on the steps of the Pentagon. Hegseth committed to supporting President Donald Trump’s initiative of mass deportations. WATCH:

Poor baby – how about you stay in your own country and make it great again – if it ever was.
JCS Chairman didn’t look all too happy
Questionable job security might be the reason.
Almost certainly is
I agree with Ronin American, I was also watching his facial expressions and he didn’t show any positive feelings.
Good!
It looks like Pete means business! Evidently cross-dressing commandos are going to have turn in their Tutu’s along with their resignations.
Peace through deterrence!
The 0’Bama Brigade will stomp their feet!
ONO – made me laugh this evening. I needed a good laugh. “Turn in your Tutu’s” …. Lt. Col. USAFR – Retired:)
Economic leverage and strong immigration policy are two pillars of a sound national security strategy that have been sorely lacking the last four years.
It’s great to once again have a President with a giant pair of you know what’s!
👊
Golf shoes?
No, golf balls.
🙂 another laugh.
Oh, you all please stop it! You’re cracking me up! I haven’t had this good of a laugh in a long time! LOLOL!!
LOLOLOLOL!!!
One thing is for sure. There’s a lot of puckered sphincters in the pentagon, today.
I’m guessing that Depends are drawing a premium price in the DC area since the 20th.
Good!
I have a feeling the Chairman of the Joint Chiefs will resign in a democRat huffing protest when the Fat Four Stars get their Retirement Orders from Sec Def.
hopefully soon
That’s a happy warrior… and one I don’t believe will be bought by the military industrial complex.
Hegseth will never eclipse Girth Vader’s Jedi mind skills.
He will never invisibly vacation for weeks in an ICU, nor have his IQ over- estimated by an order of magnitude by adoring dolts.
Dem sum scarious skillz!
Words fail.
Totally, its so perverse and third world dictator like, reminding me of that demon Idi Amin Dada. Good grief.
He reminds me of Idi Amin.
That’s the name I couldn’t come up with.
Yes, exactly right.
Whaaa?
I thought it WAS Idi Amin!
😉
You mean His Excellency, President-for-Life, Field Marshall, Al Hadji Doctor Idi Amin Dada, VC, DSO, MC, Lord of All the Beasts of the Earth, Fishes of the Sea, and Conqueror of the British Empire in Africa in General and Uganda in Particular?
That Idi Amin?
I don’t see it.
GETTEMOUTTAHERE
What a paranoid sissy he looks like in front of our brave troops.
Those are not U.S. Marines in that picture, I would guess that the troops are in the Philippines Marine Corps.
Is, is that Lizardman?
Good grief! Just take ivermectin, dude. What a joke.
Girth Vader!! Perfect.
My Man

Reminder: Mitch McConnell, Lisa Murkowski, and Susan Collins voted against (Hegseth) this!
Has this occurred to anyone?
We are in an abusive relationship with our government. And the pattern of abusive relationships includes the abused coming back for more when the abuser lies “Sorry, I have turned over a new leaf, I promise I won’t ever do it again”.

Some observe that one manipulation by tyrannical regimes is forcing the citizenry to bow down and accept the lies and abuse. Once past that point, the abused have no standing to resist.
That’s what this looks like, according to some.
Here is Kurt Schlichter’s list for Pete Hegseth to get done, it’s excellent.
Hopefully this gets seen by the right people:

Outstanding punch list. This would get the standard reset from the get go.
What a fantastic list. Bravo!!
The common sense of it would in itself shake the trees, ridding our military of the wokesters, who lack the gift of common sense.
God bless America.
Would add to the list many other things. But the first would be to hold a general officer symposium and let them know all 2,3 and 4star generals are in notice that their jobs are being looked at and subject to immediate dismissal. 2nd the general officer promotion list is on hold until further notice.
After that big announcement all E-9s across the board are on notice as well. Their jobs are being looked at and subject to immediate removal.
Gotta start at the top and work down. Bean counters at the pentagon will figure out the cost savings from there. Bottom to top review of missions and the road ahead.
Restructuring the war fighting effort of the US military should be job one. The war in Ukraine/Russia and China’s naval growth are and have been changing the future warfare dynamics at break neck speed. Secretary Hegseth has his hands full. God Bless and God speed in all things Sir! 🫡
Work, thank you for bringing up the E-9’s too. 22+ years and I don’t need all the fingers on one hand to list the good ones. Most were incompetent, suckup, back-stabbing dolts.
Agreed. The E9’s bear special focus. Beyond a few spectacular war fighters you could always count on an E9 to gleefully enforce DIE, the vaccine mandate, and glow belts on a FOB.
I made it through the purge with denied religious accommodations, on each response I also argued the illegality of the mandate. I never made command as a result. Navy actually had a written instruction barring any of the command triad from being unvaccinated.
For the sake of the service every command officer that enforced the illegal mandate should be relieved. They have demonstrated performance breaking the oath, or at best, too dumb to evaluate an order on the merits.
DoD lethality and proficiency would be increased by promoting junior officers or bringing back the few senior officers who departed or were fired due to the mandate.
Did he say “… Fort Benning , Fort Bragg ..?”
Yes he did! Yes he did!
Kinder Gentler Military my ass!
As our beloved Rush used to say: the military is meant to kill people and break things.
The social engineers had other intentions.
Miss Rush.
I cheered for that. Our history will be restored.
Yes he did!!! Sooner than later.
He called it Ft. Bragg, and not named after fat Alvin either.
I really like that Pete Hegseth agrees with POTUS that it is appropriate to use our military forces to protect our nation.
That’s a nifty concept right there.
May his tribe increase.
Exponentially.
MAGA is WINNING!!
Does he get a 6 car motorcade plus all the security every day he comes to work?
I wish I was 19 again…maybe try the Army this go round….MAGA
yeah – about those hostage exchanges:
Hamas reveals how many of the 33 hostages it plans to release are dead
Trump makes smart look easy. Resettle the Mozies outside of Israeli borders. KJJ – Keep Jerusalem Jewish. When they ain’t bothering Israel, they are killing each other.
🤣🤣🤣💋
I have been out of pocket today and not following the news: has any of the old media covered the correction to the story about the military being ordered to not talk about the Tuskegee airmen? Libs on my SM were loving the story and sharing it everywhere…I can’t stand these people and their silly lies meant to divide.
End the contractor nonsense. No more contractors running anything, military, medical, civil. Just stop it.
I remember when Norfolk Naval Station had jarheads at the gate. Every once in a while they would fill a car with lead from a 50cal machine gun if they didn’t stop at the gate.
Hopefully JCS Chairman is gone inside a week. Followed shortly by the rest of the joint Chiefs.
If he doesn’t shut down the service academies after this spring term Hegs is a toad.
Throw in the War College and ban Masters degrees from woke universities. Ban the fact that someone did a Masters degree from consideration for promotion.
Recreate the Naval Aviation Officers Candidate school in Pensacola.
Sounds like somebody has an axe to grind with the military academies. Didn’t get accepted, maybe?
The military academies have been on a downward slide for a while, but they need to be FIXED, not scrapped.
To be frank your comment makes you sound like a typical academy grad.
With 23 years in I think it is perfectly acceptable to suggest shutting down the academies for a semester or two. I want you to look at some of the lovely diverse pictures of the prospective female officer cadre coming out of West Point and argue for anything less than closure. The Air Force academy is a den of woke ideology. The Naval Academy has never graduated an officer that knew how to pour a beer.
Accountability in Afghanistan. I’m hoping this comes to fruition. Not in the form of a strongly worded letter. But in the form of dishonorable discharges for military personnel involved with that disgrace but also severe charges for the previous DOD director and those civilians involved from SOS. Mr Blinken comes to mind.
Agree! And retake Bagram, or blow it up!
Afghanistan withdrawal punishments are fourth coming
{ WATCH: Trump Announces New Executive Orders to Construct an Iron Dome Missile Defense Shield, Ban CRT and Transgenderism in Military, and Reinstate Service Members Who Were Fired over Vaccine Mandate }
“Fort Bragg”
Nicely done!!
BURN IT DOWN.
SCORCH EARTH the entire place.
RID us of the woke, p/c, trans,….and any other dysfunctional individuals that have been placed there.
BURN those generals as well. USA hasn’t won a war in decades; tells me they are incompetent.
EVERYDAY: clean house.
MAKE USA STRONG, Pete.
New energy is SO refreshing. Austin was just awful on a good day.
The previous Defense Secretary had to step off the BoD at Raytheon.
He then was part of the team that oversaw leaving $85 billion worth of military equipment in Afghanistan, $100s of billions given for a proxy war with a nuclear power, $billions to the Middle East where American hostages were held for 470 days of the last administration, and more.
I’m certainly willing to give Def Sec Hegseth a chance while I ask the moonbats in my life about the Military Industrial Complex.
I know it’s considered acceptable now to wear brown shoes with a blue suit, but you never get a second chance to make a first impression. Should have gone with the more classic look.
Brilliant.
