As a 26-year Veteran, I fully concur with Janessa Goldbeck’s comments about Mr. Hegseth’s unfitness to be SECDEF. Well said, Marine.

Another profile in courage. "Though Ms. Ernst said at the start of her questioning that she was someone who would “pull no punches,” she did not challenge Mr. Hegseth — and at one point, even tried to rebut allegations..." www.nytimes.com/2025/01/14/u...

Stewart's opening bit is on target but the piece that starts at 4:00 spears Repub hypocrisy over Fed aid to CA fire victims. No bigger hypocrite than Sen. Bill Haggerty, calling for Fed aid for TN hcane victims, no strings, but demanding CA meet GOP political whims. Check out Stewart, funny and sad.

Secretary of Sidestepping. Can’t even answer if he’d disobey a Trump order to shoot protestors or if the conduct he’s accused of and denies would otherwise be disqualifying.

Based on 26 years in the Navy, seeing numerous servicemembers punished, denied security clearances and restricted from nuke weapons duties for much less than Hegseth is credibly charged with—alcohol abuse, sexual assault and mismanagement of funds-he is without a doubt, unfit to be SECDEF.

Hegseth hearing takeaways: 1. Incomplete FBI background check. 2. Background check not shared w/committee. 3. Refused pre-hearing mtgs with Dems 4. Only 1 round of questions. 5. Question dodging. No answers to yes/no Qs 6. Reversed previous positions. 7. No answers to personal affairs charges.

I have serious concerns about Pete Hegseth’s background, including his mismanagement of non-profit organizations, accusations of sexual assault and drinking problems, blatant disregard for the contributions of female service members, and support for war crimes and torture.

This man and a small group of capitol police officers singlehandedly saved our democracy four years ago. In November, 77 million Americans said "to hell with them" and voted for the insurrectionists. Your "Back the Blue" flags are a pathetic disgrace and your patriotism is bullsh*t.
