Thomas Massie Drops The Mic On Pete Hegseth In Brutal Pentagon Presser Prediction

/0 Comments/in , /by

Outgoing Rep. Thomas Massie (R-Ky.) on Monday delivered a brutal forecast of Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth’s expected “rebuttal” to his efforts to impeach him — and his roast has gone viral on social media.

Massie — who introduced articles of impeachment against Hegseth over the Trump administration’s Iran war — pointed to the ex-Fox News host’s plans to hold a rare press conference at the Pentagon on Tuesday morning, adding that he suspected it would come before a House vote that’s expected sometime this week.

“And to that point, I hope he addresses the eight articles and doesn’t get up and misquote the Bible in Quentin Tarantino fashion and do some pullups and call everybody fat and gay for being for this impeachment —,” said Massie before cracking a smile at his own press conference on Capitol Hill.

“I may have just given you half his speech.”

Massie — a MAGA defector who fell to a Trump-backed opponent in the primaries earlier this year after he pushed the administration to release its files on Jeffrey Epstein — touches on quite a bit in his mic drop.

House GOP Blocks Thomas Massie’s Attempt To Impeach Pete Hegseth

/0 Comments/in , /by

By Daily Caller.

House Republicans blocked an immediate vote on Republican Kentucky Rep. Thomas Massie’s resolution Tuesday to impeach Secretary of War Pete Hegseth in a procedural vote.

Massie introduced the articles of impeachment Monday, which included eight charges accusing Hegseth of “operating in contravention of three specific provisions of the War Powers Resolution of 1973.” House leadership’s procedural vote referred Massie’s resolution to the House Judiciary Committee, where Republicans are currently in the majority.

Unless the Judiciary Committee passes the resolution, Massie’s impeachment effort would remain stalled throughout the remainder of the 119th Congress. House Democrats could revive impeachment efforts when they are in the majority in January.

Massie said he would request a separate vote on each article if leadership blocked the vote.

“I’ve heard from several members they agree with some of the Articles of Impeachment but not all of them,” Massie said on X. “If the motion to kill my resolution by referring it to committee fails, and we proceed to the Articles themselves, I’ll request a vote on each of the Articles separately.

By Breitbart.

Rep.-elect Brad Lander (D-NY) came out in favor of impeaching Secretary of War Pete Hegseth, Health and Human Services (HHS) Secretary Robert F. Kennedy Jr., and Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI) Director Kash Patel.

When asked by a reporter if there was “an appetite for impeachment proceedings” for either Hegseth or President Donald Trump, Lander said that he would like to see the Senate impeach Hegseth, Patel, and Kennedy. Lander added that the three of them look like “they have betrayed their requirements of their office.”

“Do you think there’s an appetite for impeachment proceedings of either Hegseth or President Trump?” a reporter asked.

“I’d like to impeach Hegseth, I’d like to see us impeach Kash Patel. I’d like to see us impeach RFK Jr. All of whom look to me like they have betrayed their requirements of their office,” Lander responded. “And, I would love to put that before the Senate, and let’s see how Senators vote on those impeachments.”

When asked by the reporter about impeaching Trump, Lander said he has “listed a big agenda.” (Read more from “Dems Eye RFK JR., Kash Patel Impeachment” HERE)

Hegseth Fires Top General For Allegedly Leaking Classified Information

/0 Comments/in , /by

Secretary of War Pete Hegseth fired Army Lieutenant General Brett Sylvia for allegedly leaking classified information, a Department of War (DOW) official told the Daily Caller.

Sylvia served as director of the Joint Staff’s Directorate for Strategy, Plans and Policy, known as the J-5, before being fired for “severe misconduct,” including allegedly leaking classified information about the Iran War and the Russia-Ukraine War, according to the official. Sylvia also failed three polygraphs and is actively being investigated by the Department of Justice (DOJ), the official added.

“Due to the Pentagon’s media policy requiring journalists to have escorts in the building, Sylvia began meeting with journalists outside of the Pentagon to leak classified information,” the official told the Caller.

“The extent of his leaking became so critical that Secretary Hegseth took immediate action and fired Sylvia in order to protect national security,” the official added. “Urgent action was needed and could not wait another second.”

The official noted that although Sylvia’s title was director of the Directorate of Strategy, Plans, and Policy, he was not the “central planner” for the Iran War as a member of the Joint Staff. (Read more from “Hegseth Fires Top General For Allegedly Leaking Classified Information” HERE)

Military Boards Go Rogue On Hegseth’s Transgender Troop Ban

/0 Comments/in , , /by

Military boards are disobeying Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth’s ban on openly transgender-identifying service members in the U.S. Armed Forces.

Nine of 12 Navy and Marine Corps review boards have recommended retaining transgender service members despite Pentagon directives calling for their discharge, according to The New York Times. The decisions raise questions about enforcement of Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth’s military personnel policies and whether individual review boards are prioritizing their own ideology over the Pentagon’s stated readiness standards.

Directly after this executive order, the Pentagon enacted a system paying transgender service members to voluntarily separate from the military, the Times reported. As a result, hundreds left.

Those who challenged their dismissal faced three-member separation boards, according to the outlet. Those officers were given a set of criteria that a service member must meet to be dismissed. Boards of sailors and Marines have completely disregarded the criteria.

The Pentagon told the Daily Caller News Foundation that it does not comment on ongoing litigation. (Read more from “Military Boards Go Rogue On Hegseth’s Transgender Troop Ban” HERE)

/0 Comments/in , /by

Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth promised Thursday to make the execution of convicted Fort Hood mass shooter Nidal Hasan public, marking America’s first public execution in 90 years.

The Pentagon confirmed later that day that the execution would be livestramed, according to AP.

Hasan is scheduled to face a military firing squad Dec. 3 at Fort Hood, Texas, at 1 p.m. Central Time.

Hegseth promised that the execution would be made public during an interview with conservative commentator Jack Posobiec aboard the USS Abraham Lincoln, CNN reported.

“He’s gonna get a firing squad of soldiers,” Hegseth said during a Thursday interview with conservative commentator Jack Posobiec aboard the USS Abraham Lincoln. “As it should be. We’ll make sure that people are able to watch it. That it’s public. Because people need to understand that there’s serious consequences for these types of things.” (Read more from “Americans Will Be Able To Watch Fort Hood Killer Face Firing Squad on Livestream, Hegseth Says” HERE)

America’s Next Military Mega-Base will go to One Winning State, Hegseth Says

/0 Comments/in , /by

Secretary of War Pete Hegseth on Wednesday announced plans to build a modern, self-sustaining military fortress, saying the site will be selected through a merit-based competition among governors pitching their states as potential locations.

The megaproject, dubbed the “Next Great American Base,” was unveiled during an address at Marine Corps Base Quantico as part of Hegseth’s six strategies to modernize the military.

The initiative rejects what Hegseth described as the legacy approach to spend heavily on advanced weapons systems while service members live on aging bases with outdated barracks.

“For too long, our military has been bogged down by the same old tired Washington playbook: spending trillions on exquisite weapons systems, while our troops live in aging bases, outdated barracks, and with inadequate infrastructure. That era is over,” Hegseth said.

“To back up our warfighters, when we bring the troops home, we won’t just reshuffle troops onto legacy posts. We are going to build them beautiful new bases from the ground up,” he added. (Read more from “America’s Next Military Mega-Base will go to One Winning State, Hegseth Says” HERE)

Hegseth Hosts Scandal-Ridden Youtubers at Pentagon to Lecture U.S. Troops

/3 Comments/in , , /by

Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth tried to hype up service members with a special visit from MAGA-friendly influencers turned reality stars, the Paul brothers.

The self-styled “Secretary of War” hosted former YouTubers and internet figures Logan and Jake Paul at the Pentagon on Thursday to “meet with our warriors.”

“We just got the pleasure and the privilege of getting a tour of the Pentagon, and uh, what a cool experience,” Logan, 31, says in the video shared to social media on Sunday.

“To see all the men and women here who are serving this great nation, I don’t think there is any greater commitment to sacrifice than those who are willing to live, die, and fight for their country,” the wrestler and podcaster added.

The video showed clips of the Pauls laughing alongside Hegseth, 46, and posing for photo opportunities around different “Department of War” signage.

“Each one of you matter,” Jake, 29, told troops from the podium in the Pentagon press room. “Take this moment and be proud of yourselves for what you do.” (Read more from “Hegseth Hosts Scandal-Ridden Youtubers at Pentagon to Lecture U.S. Troops” HERE)

Pete Hegseth Criticized for Body-Shaming Canadian Cadets

/0 Comments/in , /by

A social media post by Pete Hegseth, the US secretary of defense, body-shaming female members of a Canadian youth development program remained online on Wednesday despite a furious backlash on both sides of the border.

On Monday night, Hegseth posted on X a photograph of two people in uniform with a Canadian flag and the caption “this is real”, an apparent attempt at mocking the country’s armed forces amid the Trump administration’s trade spat with its northern neighbor.

However, the photograph was reproduced from an Instagram post by the Vernon Cadet Training Centre in British Columbia, which hosted a summer camp in July for teenagers learning adult skills on the military base.

Its subjects are not members of Canada’s frontline military, and the person whose appearance Hegseth was attempting to ridicule is likely a volunteer instructor, critics said. The girl receiving a medal is a teenager no older than 18.

The post, widely seen as part of a Trump administration “bullying campaign” over the trade war, was immediately condemned by officials in Canada and in the US. Mark Carney, the Canadian prime minister, called it “beneath the office” of the secretary of defense. (Read more from “Pete Hegseth Criticized for Body-Shaming Canadian Cadets” HERE)

Pentagon Quietly Hired MAGA Influencers To Push Hegseth’s Agenda: REPORT

/11 Comments/in , /by

The Pentagon hired military veterans and conservative political influencers to advance the U.S. Department of War Sec. Pete Hegseth’s political agenda, according to a Washington Post report published Sunday.

The influencers included retired Air Force colonel Rob Maness, retired Army colonel and Townhall columnist Kurt Schlichter, and Thomas Anderson, another retired Army colonel who writes and posts under the pseudonym Cynical Publius, WaPo reported.

Maness and Schlichter had active official government email addresses as of the week before WaPo published its story, according to the outlet. Their addresses reportedly had a “.civ” suffix reserved for civilian employees.

Anderson was listed in Department of War (DOW) records earlier in the year with a “.civ” email address, but was no longer listed when the story was published, WaPo reported.

All three were assigned to the office of Anthony Tata, the under secretary of war for personnel and readiness, according to the outlet. WaPo reported that “at least some of the influencers have been assigned to civilian roles that could lead to changes in policy.” (Read more from “Pentagon Quietly Hired MAGA Influencers To Push Hegseth’s Agenda: REPORT” HERE)
