Pete Hegseth Confirmed as Defense Secretary

How much of the value of the home was paid for by the taxpayers? Sometimes, something called context is important. Your statement is the equivalent of yelling "squirrel!" when the argument is going against you.

 

Are you saying the guy is corrupt because of his “baller house”? I’m just not sure I’m getting your point in deflecting to his personal residence. Should one of the highest rated officers in our military live in a trailer park?

Seems his net worth is around $7 million as a 71 year old. So that house represents roughly half his wealth. Hegseth at 44 reportedly has a net worth of $17 million (I guess delivering fake newz pays a lot better than military) and for some reason wants the govt to house him despite this.

 

This was an interesting decision that I didn't expect but seems reasonable. They're going back to calling it Fort Bragg - however, not to honor Confederate Braxton Bragg but rather a Pfc named Roland L. Bragg - a paratrooper from Maine who earned awards for his service in the Battle of the Bulge.

They went Woke!!!!!

lol.

Cowards are too scared to really name it for a confederate general. They love their racism just barely under the covers where you can still see it clearly.

 

Speaking of Pete
Seems a bunch of people ( in media and on here) made some false claims… nothing new though.

Hegseth didn't request over $137,000 in upgrades to his new military residence, official says

 

Yepper .... that was jus another case of lies from the left to denigrate a veteran. Many of the tofu-eating wokerati are just pathetic.

 

Exactly.

 

Sleight of hand if there ever was one.

 

Why are the libbies such liars?
Scary stuff.

 

There is a right way to get money from a job (i.e., salary, bonuses, etc.) and a wrong way to get money from a job (bribes, kickbacks, etc.). There is nothing wrong with buying a house with money earned from salary and bonuses. Insinuating that someone is on the take or stealing from the nation when he may not be is called "slander", which is something that grownups do not aspire to.

 

Hegseth brings along an advisor on his overseas trips. His name is Jack Posobiec. Posobiec is known for associating with white nationalists and was an important figure in the spread of "Pizzagate" lies, and he promoted the phrase "white boy summer". Apparently, he's there to provide ammunition for Hegseth to fight diversity in the U.S. military. And one of his goals is to "end democracy". Sounds like a real winner . . .

Hegseth achieves something on a trip to Germany that few Secretaries of Defense have ever experienced: heckling, derision, and protests from military families overseas. And that was the HIGHLIGHT of his trip to Germany. Apparently, the soldiers' families are not happy with the fact that Hegseth is unqualified to be Sec'y of Defense, and is making epic blunders left and right.

Hegseth tried to backpedal on his idiotic statements that Ukraine would not be allowed into NATO and Russia would definitely be allowed to keep lands in Ukraine that they had captured (as his opening line for negotiations with Russia). Let's see if he was successful . . .

Nope. Dumber than ever. It's almost like a Fox News reporter is serving as Secretary of Defense.
