Pistol Pete drops bomb on Jennifer Griffin!! Best part of my week so far!!! Besides all the other winning of course:-)
As I said on the other thread, she is soooo ticked off that she didn’t get a leak ahead of time on this.
I suspect some of Jennifer’s sources inside the building set her up on this to aid their Swamp allies. Given the subsequent BDAs (Battle Damage Assessment) from multiple civilian sites, that largely mirror the CIA/DOD/ODNI assessments, that meme is a lost cause. Sadly, Jennifer bit and SecDef smacked her for it, knowing in some sense the setp. Fro a really good deep dive unclass BDA from a civilian source:

From Catherine Herridge, a reporter who I believe is trustworthy and has integrity…
https://x.com/C__Herridge/status/1936869051919442355
Meh. Did you hear the “Gotcha” question she asked?
“It’s about highly enriched uranium… Do you have certainty that all of the highly enriched uranium was inside the Fordo Mountain… or some of it. Beacuse there were satellite photos that showed more than a dozen trucks there two days in advance. Are you certain none of that highly enriched uranium was moved?”
She then goes on to blather that she was the first to report the B2 bombers… the refueling… as if she is somehow special to report because someone decided to loop her in before some other news outlets?
She deserved getting torched for that tone of questioning, and she also deserved getting torched for repeating the CNN Narrative spinning that this was a failure. Why would a trustworthy and reporter with integrity repeat such garbage?
I watched most of the coverage on Saturday evening. Most of the MSM was having their Saturday night coctails and dinner before breaking in to their regular game shows, etc…
Fox was first, CNN closely behind. It took Newsmax over 30 minutes to interrupt their pre-recorded stuff. CBS and ABC finally got around to it.
Catherine Herridge isn’t Jennifer Griffin, two different reporters. Just saying.
Nope.
🚨 HOLY CRAP! Pete Hegseth just decimated FOX NEWS reporter Jennifer Griffin, calling her “ABOUT THE WORST” in terms of misrepresenting information on the strikes.
His own prior network. Hegseth plays no favorites!
GRIFFIN: “Do you have certainty all the highly enriched uranium was inside the Fordow mountain…none of it was moved?”
HEGSETH: “Jennifer, you’ve been about the worst – the one who misrepresents the most INTENTIONALLY.”
Decimation is a military group punishment protocol whereby every tenth soldier is executed. Destroyed would be a better word to describe the conditions which now obtain at Fordow. Humiliation is what was experienced by Ms.Griffin.
Nobody knows the status of Fordow. The important thing is that it’s Officially Destroyed.
Nonsense!
The status is “non operational” 😎
Couldn’t happen to a more deserving female!!!
A what…?
SOOOO Beautiful!
Ms. Griffin has reached that level of media stardom where she expects everytime everywhere to be adored, rather than challenged.
FOX is the controlled opposition Media.
With few exceptions (Greg Gutfeld, Jesse Waters and a few others) the FOX network has been designed to “placate” regular patriotic and concerned citizens.
These citizens know (finally) the main stream media lie, obfuscate, spin, and so are deeply searching for an alternate, honest, fair media. FOX is the media that “offered itself up” to fill that void, but it is NOT the trustworthy savior here.
This was a glaring example of it. And of course she was shocked, utterly shocked, to be called out.
She probably thought Hegseth would compliment her haircut.
Guaranteed she is so pissed off right now that she will make more unforced errors in the next few days.
Need more like Pete to call them out! They need taken down a few pegs!
The glowing Wikipedia piece on her and her ‘award’ (Transatlantic Leadership Network) has gone to her head She’s always presenting herself as ‘leader’. ‘in charge’, ‘fact checker’ ‘sharing her fact checks with colleagues to ensure our network can be more accurate”. Laughable.
Flashback to our Harvard national security advisor who cited ‘anonymous sources in September 2020 confirmed some key details of an article in The Atlantic and was found unable to confirm the part of that story that reported President Trump had characterized veterans and fallen American soldiers as “losers” and “suckers.” That report was previously confirmed by the Associated Press and The Washington Post (which says a lot) as per Griffin.
President Trump and several aides who were present at the time denied the report, with the president and others calling for Griffin to resign. Numerous reporters, including some from Fox News, defended Griffin’s integrity and reporting. She stood by her report, characterizing her sources as “unimpeachable” (Arrogance) well, suppose she’s unimpeachable – because ‘anonymous source”. (Hubris)
Then, February 2022, prior and just after the start of Russian-Ukraine invasion, Griffin frequently corrected and fact-checked her Fox News colleagues when they said false or unproven things about the war – (she said). When asked why she felt it necessary to correct these statements she said “I’ve been part of the news division since those beginning days. I’m here to fact-check facts because I report on facts .. “And my job is to try and figure out the truth as best as I know it. I share those facts internally, so that our network can be more accurate. Who made her boss of her colleagues when she spins her own reports?
She hates President Trump. What more do we need to say?
I don’t know what happened to Jennifer Griffin. She caught the TDS real bad and suddenly. I remember her being a staunch Bush ally during the Iraq conflict. Maybe that’s it? Trump has crushed the whole Bush machine and has closed down news rooms at the Pentagon.
Maybe she’s just trying to stay relevant by becoming a TDS afflicted critic. Its plain to see she is pulling her hair out over it.
Has to do with Family Ties to the Council of Foreign Relations and HER Being tied to the Pentagon Press Corp
for SO LONG a Time.
The SAME REASON that i DO NOT TAKE Everything that TUCKER, JOHN SOLOMON and Other BELTWAY ILK
Say AS GOSPEL.
Trust no one in journalism. Not ever.
Way too many have covert advanced degrees in Narrative Production and simply are not reporters in any sense of the word
Sundance has written pretty detailed about Griffin. She’s an IC asset of sorts.
Eagle, I see what you did , you rascal! 🤣
A few years back, it was Griffin who claimed to have a contact that swore Trump called soldiers “losers”. Griffin’s good friend Jedidiah Bila was on a morning FOX show with co-host Hegseth, and they got into it, Bila defending Griffin and Hegseth slamming her. Bila quit TV, probably as a result. Also, I see that Tucker says that Griffin (who he says actually has a Pentagon office?) is as deep state as they come, but also has been a rabid Trump hater from the beginning.
It was when she was assigned to cover Hillary Clinton’s campaign… she got sucked into the evil.
Her hairstyle choice may be the result of the breast cancer treatments she underwent several years ago. There is much to criticize (check her wiki page), being a cancer survivor is not one.
Oh, FFS. People are free to criticize what ever they want.
She is still unashamed – tried to re-affirm what she claim about her report on this – but doesn’t connect her records and part in spin as being the worst … her question says it all … as Hegseth pointed out.
YES! J Griffin is a Deep State tool who hates Trump and MAGA and works against both under the cover that she is Fox News. Pete probably knows her ideology since he worked at Fox.
I have no doubt that if she had the info that was leaked she wouldn’t have leaked it in a heartbeat if it would hurt Trump and MAGA. She is Establishment and can’t be believed. Pete probably has had enough of her. I know I have.
Jennifer Griffin just now on Brett Baier show, pushing the claim that all of the uranium was moved.
So instead of being impartial and letting personal issues affect her reporting, she went the opposite direction.
THIS IS WHY YOU ARE DISLIKED WITH A PASSION, JENNIFER.
According to Tucker Carlson, who worked with Jennifer Griffin for years at Fox News, Griffin was an outspoken Never-Trumper who hated the President and very liberal. Perhaps that is why she was called out by Sec’y Hegseth, who also worked with Griffin at Fox News and knew the scuttlebutt about Griffin’s bias towards the Trump Administration. Also, Griffin’s husband works for NPR and worked for 20 years at the NY Times.
Spouses of the Swamp. Hubby reports on national security type stuff too, I would guess they have quite the network behind closed doors in the spy game. Jennifer also spent quite a bit of time reporting from the ground in the ME. No doubt she is quite peeved she wasn’t in the loop.
This was a real barn burner. The fake news got their asses handed to them…and rightly so! Great details from Chairman Caine…really fascinating stuff and I loved the storytelling aspect of his presentation.
Caine is killing the media with kindness.
He really impressed me.
The scary thing is Dan Caine was passed over, and forced into retirement by the yahoos in charge; people who think Milley was their kind of guy.
I would find out who nixed Caine’s promotion and make sure they are fired asap.
Same “Cryin’ Chuck” who condemned PDJT’s executive order on travel from Muslim-majority countries.
Chairman Caine is outstanding!
You have to love the way Pete has the Presidents back and how he matter of fact speaks.
It is early , but he has the attitude and the look of a future President maybe.
The no nonsense, common sense and love of America stands out. The deep state would not approve of him.
Great to see Fox News, TV for brainwashed people, get called out.
Hegseth has found his footing, to quote another Treeper from a couple weeks ago. Caine is a remarkably good choice…lots of gravitas and authenticity.
Blatant stupidity prevails.
The Iranian leaders are old, not stupid. They are very much aware of the hi-tech surveillance capabilities that exist because they have their own. Even a desperate moron would not openly move and expose what they have spent billions and decades developing. That’s why it was an underground facility. That’s why they repeatedly denied such capability. That’s why they had suspended all cooperation with the IAEA. To think that they would deliberately expose the removal of anything from that site is blatant stupidity. Period.
They have their own high tech surveillance?
Like what?
🤣🤣🤣🤣
Now that’s funny right thar!

This was incredible! And about the two people tasked to study this facility for 15 YEARS! The genuine appreciation and admiration General Caine and Sec. Def. Pete Hegseth have for the military members that did this and their families was/is amazing. It’s so nice to hear an administration that truly loves and appreciates our military members, being a Navy Veteran myself, husband is Army veteran and one son is a 2nd LT, with another son soon to graduate as a 2nd Lt. My heart is bursting this morning after listening to this conference!
Thank you, for you and your families service, dedication, and patriotism to this country.
Whoa! Thank you for your service!!! Your husband!!! BOTH Sons!!!!!!
This former Army E-5 intel analyst for a SF unity salutes you and yours RunnerMom, and I salute DefSec Hegseth and General Caine…two men I would have left it all on the battlefield for (I had Dick Cheney as SecDef).
And I MEGA MAGA salute our CinC.
As well it should! The military exceeded all expectations in this mission!
Thank you and your family for your service.
I hope young people interested in our country and the military who watched this press conference will also feel pride and consider if the military could be in their future. People get very good training in the military and even if they don’t make it a career, they come away with marketable skills and benefits that support further education. This is especially true now under President Trump’s leadership!
Oh my…just beautiful….sooo proud…. My son is Navy….Command Master Chief…Love him to death

Finally!
🚨 CNN CONCEDES IRAN ATTACKS WERE ‘FLAWLESS’: “What we now know is.. it worked, it seems to have worked flawlessly.”
“I think from what I’ve seen, the 20,000 centrifuges…they are all completely destroyed. I am very confident those centrifuges are gone!”
It’s fascinating how the left are constantly embarrassed, yet continue to show their faces. Unreal
“everyone knows they are lying, yet they continue to lie” Aleksandr Solzhenitzen
If one knows no shame, it’s easy.
Leftists only care about their ego. They believe they are smarter than everyone else. They have no clue what TRUTH is and couldn’t care less about it. They are….
Haughty, lifted-up with evil pride, efforting to take down anything good and true. They argue just to argue and are completely mental. Many of us know people exactly like this.
Keep an eye on Pritzker…he is only running again for IL governor and not President for ’28…. because I think/believe right now that he knows “its not his turn”.
https://www.breitbart.com/politics/2025/06/26/watch-illinois-democrat-gov-jb-pritzkers-run-for-third-term-slammed-as-legacy-merits-firing-not-rehiring/
Would love to see the story of how the family was at the start of the modern “transgender” movement get out if he tries to run. Check out “Where did all this transgender stuff come from?” 4-29-25, the Richardson Post
Pritzker – a billionaire. Any one ever boycott staying at his hotel chain? He’s got tentacles all over the world, including offshore financial dealings using complex operations; he claims are for charity. Pritzker’s several offshore shell companies were established between 2008 and 2011, which either are wholly owned by him, his brother and a noteworthy sister, and a list of other close associates as controlling executives.
However, these offhore entities have raised questions about the transparency of his financial dealings.
Pritzker did address these concerns, by stating that any offshore trusts set up for his benefit were established by his grandfather in the 1960s and that he has not received any distributions from them; instead, they provide charitable contributions.
Despite this, the Chicago Tribune’s investigation revealed that Pritzker’s offshore interests are more complex than previously acknowledged, suggesting that the trusts do not tell the full story of his financial activities.
It is worth noting that Pritzker’s sister, also had offshore dealings that were exposed by the Paradise Papers, adding to the scrutiny around the family’s financial practices.
Pritzker prioritized illegal immigrants over Illinois families, hiked taxes, and rammed through the largest, most bloated budget in state history. He has used and abused the fine people of Illinois, allowing heavy handed government to meddle in the lives and safety of ordinary Illinoians.
The last nearly eight years under his governance merits firing not rehiring.
While businesses and families flee, Pritzker sees Illinois as nothing more than a stepping stone for the White House. He as far as the poles; as he would imagine himself to be the one and only Trump.
Shame from such kind is unlikely – nor will they ever be shamed even when their pockets are hit; they have always resorted to, sort of ‘behaving’, for a few days; then back to spinning.
They are incapable of embarrassment or shame.
The payoff must be greater than the embarrassment.
When the video ends, pay attention to the faces of those two women.
They reacted as though someone had just let out a giant fart right in their faces.
Tells you all you need to know about the so-called “journalists” at CNN.
The language “It seems” … to have worked flawlessly – what we now know. Yes of course but no reference CNN has a lonn ..nng history of spinning “reliable news” only to retract when called out. This again, is not a true concession to truth.
Unfortunately many countries overseas mostly have CNN and their local news repeat verbatim the garbage CNN spews.
Deterrent restored.
If a single bolt was found with a nut threaded on that could still be unscrewed, the morons-of-the-media would say, “see, it wasn’t completely destroyed, just as we reported.”
Well now color me impressed. What an awesome display of power and dedication to keep all nations safe. President Trump, his team, and the many uniformed men and women deserve our respect and trust
This was one of the best press conferences I have seen in a while.
Very Trumpian in the sense of putting forward facts, and then challenging the entire corrupt FAKE media to account for their pathetic and calculated behavior.
More and more the Legacy Media needs to be challenged with facts they have deliberately distorted or censored.
The more press conferences that go this route, the sooner the Legacy Media folds or reluctantly conforms to sanity.
MMGA?
Moving forward, this is the protocol to follow. Any future news conference, chopper gathering, AF 1, in-flight briefing,…all need to be handled with guns a blazen’. The press (for the most part) are demons, serpents, back stabbers, horrid walking dead who hate MAGA.
Arrrrrgh! Love the post, but if I hear/see “moving forward” one more time…
There should be celebration here and throughout that region. Such an accomplishment, a perfect one at that, deserves far more recognition.
Yet, here we are, having to defend what is right.
Pathetic.
Heck, there should be a world wide celebration acknowledging and honoring what was accomplished by PDJT, his admin and our impressive and brave military men and women. ❤️ 🇺🇸
Many of us grew up singing “Give peace a chance..” Due to President Trump’s laser focused desire for world peace, perhaps the planet will finally get it… at least for a while.
Griffin has hated Pete Hegseth for a long time for some reason.
Griffen has TDS. Hegseth admires Trump.
There’s your reason 🤗
I wonder if she is exhibiting signs of early onset dementia.
She is a real character, whatever the cause….
She’s married to an NPR man, Pete’s a real man; that’s all there is to it.

I like the optimism and hope it’s true. But the deep state doesn’t give up so easily. Watch as further attempts to sabotage agreements in the Middle East but ALSO watch for new and interesting things happen back in good ole Ukraine.
And who know, they may have some rogue “Iran” terror cells to activate just to distract the news cycle. (I hope they don’t kill people to do it… but the clowns do not care about things like that.)
Plenty of other ideas I haven’t even considered as well. They won’t give up. They’ll let Trump win on this — what choice do they have at this point? But I don’t see them giving up.
I’m hoping all the dangerous Americans are under surveillance 24/7.
I’m far more concerned with unidentified sleeper cells, particularly long time deep cover moles who appear totally innocent and harmless, from decades of playing the part
“Miles to go before I sleep.” — Telefon (1977)
Celebrate…America? I’ll have to remember how. Now, feeling guilty; not a problem at all.
I still feel this was a rope-a-dope of the press by the Trump administration. Leaked to CNN, NY Times, AP, three of the biggest Trump hating outlets, at the same time the same information? Nobody leaks to three outlets the same information at the same time. Having said that I am happy to see more rope-a-dopes. This leak to the above outlets will have the same effect as the MOPs did to Iran’s nuclear capability.
Very astute assessment.
That thought fleetingly crossed my mind as well.
It’s a great way to single out your opponent and attack.
Nobody, unless you are a Democrat congressman.
Might it have been intentional leaks, the kind constituting a sting operation?
Or maybe just some good old fashioned New York styled “Don’t get mad, get even.” 🤠
Yes they do.
Your always right Sundance
Ever liked or trusted her

At this point, it would probably be cheaper to just have cameras at a press conference, and leave the “journalists” home. Like what C-SPAN does with the cameras in the congress.
She’s a real piece of work.
Any chance she’s related to that shrew Brennan?
They are not related, but… he’s her daddy!
Need more of these Charmins called out!
I could listen to Dan Caine talk about missions for a long time. I understand President Trump’s faith in him and I’m so glad he came out of retirement to assume this post.
Well done to both gentlemen. It’s nice to feel confident in the direction our armed services are going. I can see why recruitment is soaring.
One has to have super high intelligence in order to fully present such a complex topic making it comprehensible to even an eight year old.
Genius, humble self possessed genius.
making it comprehensible to even an eight year old.
So he was speaking over the comprehension level of the reporters?
It seems that is true by listening to the questions the ‘journalists’ asked after the ‘press conference’.
rim-shot — ka-ching!
He’d make a good special ed teacher.
Now is the time to punish those who financed this reign of terror and hatred.

The media went from “420,000 pounds of bombs didn’t do much damage” yesterday to “the uranium wasn’t there anyway” today.
Glad I’m avoiding the “news” today….. I wish they would cease and desist
All that shows is that the media knows nothing about enriched uranium, mainly that it burns really well.
Plutonium is even more unstable. They found that out at the Pantex plant where they had a gigantic fire started by a few ounces of plutonium. It can even spontaneously combust. If there was any uranium at that site, it’s gone now for sure. Either burned up in the blast or scattered by the overpressure.
The uranium is part of the rock making up the mountain. It will have to be mined as uranium ore and the process started from the begining.
Having earned (ahem) a journalism degree, I can say w/confidence that you are supposed to be assigned to something you KNOW about — or you need to research. These guys seems to just walk in clueless. Gossip-mongers.
They were assigned to something they know about: lies, dispersions, false narrative production, etc. The topic is irrelevant when Trump is the topic to be demonized.
After 4 years of being totally embarrassed by our “administration” on the world stage, it’s so uplifting to have pride in America once again.
Brave. Skilled. Relentless.
I noticed nobody has mentioned our spy satellites.

I listen to it a second time. Slings and arrows are coming my way, but I though Hegseth was weak. After watching Rumsfeld masterfully handle the press may atimes, Hegseth is new to the game and needs a lot of work. He cut off Caine when he was speaking. I wanted to hear more.
Ya he got a good zinger at Griffin, but it looked more like a defensive attack instead of a masterful insult that Trump has.
I don’t expect him to be a master after being on the job for 6 months. His comment to the report “Do you have a clearance” was stupid. Something better might have been, “if you understand the need for classification, you should know we can’t discuss that here!” or “why play this game in public, you know we can talk about classified information in public, so why do you ask that? Would you like to rephrase that question?
Beat me up if you want, but he needs work. I want him to succeed. I think it became a personality thing instead of all the things Caine was discussing.
Hegseth could have leveraged his real life experiences to respond. Vance is great at that.
Previously, in defense of Trump, John Kelly when speaking brought up his son’s death and told us to watch Taking Chance. That was impactful.
Caine and Kelly know how to relate stories to get their point across. Trump does too. Pete needs to work on that.
Caine took us there like we were part of the team. He brought the families in. He took us to the airport when the planes came home.
Sorry, I really don’t think it was a good slap down of the media like it needed to be. I expected better.
Even though he was a Neocon, Rumsfeld was the best DS with handling the press. I watched as many as I could because I enjoyed the way he destroyed the press.
There’s a difference between “handling the press” and “confronting the media” 🤗
The former accepts the premise that “the press” is just “doing their job” objectively.
The latter understands that “the media” today sees themselves as part of the opposition party.
Hegseth’s entire demeanor in this presser reflected the latter….which is oh so refreshing!
The media has been the opposition party since the 50’s.
No intention of slapping you down. You are intitled to your opinion. In fact, it takes a strong person to talk the talk. Perhaps I can suggest that the reason Pete spoke as he did was the fact of his pride for those who did the mission with success. He showed strong emotion even to the point of distain for the media. That might be what’s needed. They’ve lied, badgered, and mocked when they should be clapping. He just couldn’t hold his dislike.
Let Trump be Trump.
Let Hegseth be Hegseth .
The so called reporters are so awful, so undeniably rude and gauche, that in comparison Hegseth is an 😇
I think it has to do with personality. I can totally see Stephen Miller answer the way you wanted Hegseth to answer. He’s done it before. However, “Do you have a clearance,” is snarky, to the point and meme-able, which are all important to fast moving, algorithm driven news cycles.
I don’t know. I thought he handled himself pretty good doing the confirmation hearings. He speech written intro was very good. It was just the Q&A and cutting Caine short. I also think he let them get in to a talking point about DEI. Simple answer, everyone on the team was exceptional and no need to call anyone special out. Job well Done!
He got played on that question.
Yes, would have loved to see a Miller response.
He shut that trap up instantly! Now we can see why the journos don’t get clearances! Loose lips sink ships!
Bet we’re the only ones with “The Wisdom of Donald Rumsfield,” complete w/the “knowns and unknown” “poetry” in our home library. Prob not a huge seller.
Rumsfeld was 100% behind Trump and getting NATO to pay the 5% I worked for DOD financial and he revamped the military spending eliminating wasteful programs.
His motive to keep the war machine going (increase in NATO) might have been to keep the “continuous war machine going” but there was merit to what he was doing from my up close and personal perspective.
Yes, he cut wasteful programs so well that the Pentegon can’t pass an audit and misplaces billions.
This one?
I won’t beat you up. You obviously have a different take, and a wrong one.
“We’re not playing that game any more.” Every Republican and RINO needs to repeat these words. I remember when the “reclaiming my time” shtick was first adopted by the left in congress. It was kinda catchy but didn’t quite hit home as a way to capture the sound bites they were after in hearings.
But THIS? It’s the greatest “shut up” of all. Let them attack, only response? “We’re not playing that game any more.”
The left: OMG!? They aren’t afraid of the names and labels any longer?! What’ll we do now?
I think we should tell those who complain of the “emotional burden” of living while black that it’s no picnic being called a white supremacist every day!
One thing, if nothing else, because the leaker is in a protected position such as congress, they should be exposed. You might not be able to get them yet, until they leave office, but by golly you could show them for the scum they are. Truth is the best sunlight.
Why do you think the leaker was in Congress, and not just a Deep State middle manager type deep in the DIA?
Because they put it up for congress on a site and the leaking began.
.
The leaker most likely was a no-name working in the Pentagon or with CIA, tasked with collecting intelligence reports.
.
I too think Congress critters had their hand in it; regardless, find the leak and charge the leaker, even if it goes to a Congress person.
So much effort pandering to the fake news main stream media in a futile attempt to appease.
With the Internet, alternative media, YouTube, etc. that puts conference was about getting the real information out to the American public.
I like Razin’ Caine. A lot. He plays a very calm Good Cop.
And Petey-boy had some good confidence on display. Some really good statements, of policy and fact. Good for him. He’s learning quickly how to be persuasive tough guy.
Anybody who is a news junkie like myself can readily see how the fake, corrupt-as-hell news spun this “damage assessment” part of the overall story into an ideological weapon directed straight at their unrelenting hatred for Trump and anything and everything he does.
We’ve watched this news bias and derangement syndrome take hold of every fiber and figment of the fake news industry in such breadth and depth that, in years gone by, they would have been easy candidates for insane asylums and mental institutions.
Those of and on the left truly are losing their minds. I pray every day that there are sufficient numbers of patriots to soon become an unbeatable and unstoppable force against this out-in-the-open attempt to destroy our country.
The biggest battles are yet to come. Godspeed to one and all.
Hegseth is an awesome communicator and a warrior for the truth!! I love the man and keep praying for his discernment, safety, and conversion. Praise God for patriots like Pete leading our military. Trump chose well with Pete, along with many others on his incredible team.
Fire the senate parliamentarian. Dems can stick the most non germane shit imaginable into a bill and pass it party line and when it our turn….the rules apply?
So Sundance, between the successful attack, And, the ceasefire – has Trump’s Senate “juice glass” been replenished, at least in part, as it pertains to getting the BBB across the finish line this weekend ?
I thought the same thing. Is more juice in the glass?
Jennifer Griffin has a long history. Here is a flashback from 2020:
(Flash from the past from when both Hegseth and Griffin worked for Fox):
—–
Trump Praises Fox News’ Pete Hegseth After Demanding Jennifer Griffin Be Fired for Confirming He Trashed Vets
(Sept 5, 2020)
Excerpt:
President Donald Trump praised Fox News host Pete Hegseth hours after demanding the firing of his network colleague Jennifer Griffin for confirming the key elements of a raft of stories in which Trump denigrated military veterans.
As part of a sustained barrage against a now quadrice-confirmed — by The Atlantic, The Associated Press, The Washington Post, and Fox News — set of stories about his denigration of dead, wounded, captured, and every other type of U.S. warfighter, Trump tweeted a demand that Fox News terminate Jennifer Griffin for her contribution to the fact pattern.
Trump tweeted a Breitbart compilation of Griffin’s reporting, and wrote “Jennifer Griffin should be fired for this kind of reporting. Never even called us for comment.

Pete Hegseth has learned that at least one of the media attack dogs who takes part in anti-Trump missions is female.
Jennifer G. needs a blanket party! That straightens these azzhats out! Too bad they think they’re too cute by half!
Yep…a code red…
It was MAGA Fabulous. We need tons more of this hard push back against Deep State and their Media Stenographers
Dead on 💀! 😂
Information, partial-information and miss-direction passes thru the filter of critical thinking skills.
These are the same institutions that brought us ‘Russia Gate’ with a ‘high degree of certainty’ combined with an assortment of proofs and info-graphics. Have we forgotten or do we just choose to not remember?
Choose to believe the official government narrative if you wish ……..much like the assertion/belief that DJT has never/would never lied to the American people. Lies are often more comforting than having to face/deal with the truth. Please tell me lies I can, need and want to believe.
If you don’t loudly, regularly and boldly claim to WIN, did you really win?
My critical thinking skills still has not been able to resolve how in the real world Israel, Iran and the USA could all have WON the so-called 12 day war and how the USA could claim to be a neutral arbiter that also brought peace to the warring parties? Skeptical me!
I won’t even touch the breaking of Constitutional powers, Internationally recognized laws or Agreements between nations or the impartiality/sanctity of the IAEA.
There is so much subterfuge and spin to this set of events that any and all ‘truths’ have been, well to use DJT speak……. ‘OBLITERATED’.
Sure let us all have a great biggly group hug to the success of the ‘the greatest military and nation on earth’ and everlasting peace to Israel and Iran thru the destruction of all of the enriched U238 in Iran (Israels nukes are still intact) if that makes us loyal MAGA-folks. All hail DJT!
This is all about beliefs, the reality however about what transpired is likely different. In future, when truths leak out, will anyone say ‘sorry I lied’? If one was commanded to lie, then that is ok – it is my job?
Lies, fabrications, comforting fictions like stolen elections will ultimately have consequences.
This story/tale/spin is far from over.
Blindly believing is for theology. Keep an open mind and process the information with your critical thinking skills.
X needs you back.
Lies have consequences.
If one listens carefully to the words of the WH and admin officials the word ‘belief’ is ever present. What is the difference between a belief and a lie?
Jennifer has some serious crazy eye syndrome, or is on some powerful medication. It really is tiresome these people are such killjoys.
Congrats to all on this mission. I hope someone good is writing a cool and truthful book about it. I would love to read it.
I hope Bill O’Reilly, Glenn Beck and Victor Davis Hanson are listening. It would be great reading each of their perspectives. Events need to settle before anything definitive can be postulated.
VDH give something almost every day. Both O’Reilly and Beck have commented on it.
Now expect the repeating verbatin from networks as Newsweek calls it “Pete Hegseth Trashing Former Fox News Colleague Sparks Fury from Critics
The headline now “TRASHING” or so, it has become.
Expect the media to address that during the exchange, Hegseth said and acknowledged that he appreciated acknowledging her comeback “that this was the most successful mission based on operational security that this department has done since you’ve been here” in response to her saying? As she said “I reported on the ventilation shafts on Saturday night” and “was the first to describe the B-2 bombers, the refueling, the entire mission with great accuracy.” omitting to reference the issue of how she asked and phrased her question; about Iran preemptively moving its uranium resources ahead of the airstrikes.
“Do you have certainty that all the highly enriched uranium was inside the Fordow mountain, or some of it, because there were satellite photos that showed more than a dozen trucks there two days in advance,” she asked him. “Are you certain that none of that highly enriched uranium was moved?”
Given that Hegseth has worked at Fox no one knows what he may know to address her question as he did.
Griffin has past records of questionable reporting.
Look her up and her husband. She hates Trump because he stands up for ALL Americans. Even Americans like me….
I’m always late to the conversation but I don’t consume any news after 5pm. The interview was good but I didn’t like the fact that the Colonal(?) gave out any details about our airforce. Ages 21-28 and males and females was more than enough. Where they were based out of and/or where they graduated from, plus families, in this day and age of the internet information highway was way too much. A little reasonable deduction, plus pics of classes, etc…wouldn’t make it too hard to narrow down a sizable group of people to target, innocent included, for a determined terrorist or network to seek revenge. We don’t need specifics, loose lips sink ships! Plus Radcliffe’s input meant nothing coming from that agency! Sorry to be the pessimist but I had to wonder if they included him to satisfy the press🤣
It is very interesting and refreshing to see how the Secretary of Defense and the Joint Chiefs Chairman handled this interview.
One thing that I certainly did not realize was that this ordnance was basically designed for this mission – and other missions like it. I did suspect that I understood what the absence of a surface crater meant. I did not know how many weapons were dropped down the same hole. (With one bomb to blow-off the concrete caps that had been added.)
But, basically – there can be no doubt about the utter devastation which this would have produced. The word is, simply, “total.” It’s much like what Allied bombers did to the U-boat pens in WW2, only many times worse.
Did anybody believe that PDJT could take out Iran’s nuke program without a single casualty on either side from that mission or the retaliation? He owned EVERYBODY, including many on our side who were saying we were in WWIII already and it was the end of the world. Everybody should have known that he was not going to make a decision like this willy nilly or that he is interested in putting American boots on the ground, which is when you know you’re actually in a war. This situation was never the same as Afghanistan or Iraq.
In a fight to the death, one fighter walks away unscathed, while the other lies motionless, bleeding out. The unscathed fighter reports, with pictures, how the fight went, exactly as he had trained for it to go. BDA is (will be) the coroner’s report on this fight.
The thing that calls itself Journalism in this country is the lowest form of life on Earth.
