Pete Hegseth calls Trump’s war “a gift to the world”
Pete Hegseth stood at the Pentagon podium and called the war in Iran, the global instability, and the surging fuel prices that came with it “a gift to the world.” He compared Operation Epic Fury favorably to every major American military engagement of the last century and said the U.S. military deserves the Nobel Peace Prize “every single year.” He told European allies to stop having “fancy conferences” and “get in a boat.”
We are on day 56 of a war that was supposed to last four to six weeks. A war never authorized by Congress, costing a reported billion dollars a day. Their own CIA said there was no immediate nuclear threat. Their own Director of National Intelligence testified under oath that Iran had not rebuilt its nuclear enrichment capability. And still, no one in this administration can tell us what we are actually trying to achieve or what winning looks like. Another aircraft carrier is joining the operation. Sailors on extended deployments are reportedly eating rations because the supply situation is inadequate. And the head of the International Energy Agency warned last week that Europe may have as little as six weeks of jet fuel remaining because of the energy crisis this war created.

We are living through a pivotal moment for our country, and my goal is to reach as many people as possible with clear, factual information about what is happening. The more people who understand what is unfolding, the better our chances of pushing back against chaos, cruelty, and corruption ahead of the midterms.

Independent journalism is under attack. You can make a difference with a $5/month paid subscription. Your support allows me to keep telling the truth about the lies and destruction unfolding in our country, defend myself from constant pressure from MAGA extremists, and ultimately spread the message to more people.
I’m fighting to save our country (before it’s too late).
I’ll see you tomorrow,

Hegseth is a fool in a tight but empty suit…
