"RE: Pete Hegseth as SecWar At this time in American history Pete Hegseth is the PERFECT person to serve as Secretary of War. I mean that sincerely. I do not know of a living human who is better qualified to serve in that position at this point in American history. Ill explain why. Americas military spent 20+ years engaged in a GWOT battle that after its first few years became a political battle where the military was not the right tool in the DIME-FIL* toolbox. Nation building ridiculously restrictive JAG-inspired rules of engagement social justice experimentation Military Transition Teams"

"There is a similar problem in the law. Yale Harvard and Stanford are supposed to be the gold standard in law schools and their graduates get recruited by the best firms.

"I have long been puzzled by career U.S. military officers who align themselves with Democrats. I know from a number of joint assignments and schools that this is a particularly pernicious problem in the Navy. My explanation of this is as follows: -The overwhelming majority of career military officers are politically conservative and view themselves as guardians of the Constitution. That means we are guarding the document that allows citizens to chart their own paths in freedom. -The small minority of career military officers who are leftists OTOH view themselves as being superior protectors"

""Intelligence practice has always been a matter of indirection secrecy and deceit. In United States covert operations this has included applying the technique of plausible deniability.

"This is the interior of the Church of St. Sava in Belgrade Serbia. St. Sava was the founder of the independent Serbian Orthodox Church. The church's construction began in 1935 but was only finished in 1989 after years of suspended construction under Nazi and then communist rule. The detail was stunning. As I traveled through the Balkans and Eastern Europe I was continually struck by how vibrant Christianity was relative to Western Europe. I guess you have to suppress faith to grow faith"

I took those photos with my Fujifilm X-H2 camera but did not have a wide angle lens with me.

"😡Reason #9999 to hate the American media: When Republicans rule the media fervently styles itself as crusading journalists "speaking truth to power" and holding the government accountable to the people. But when Democrats rule the media instantly becomes running dog lackeys mindlessly regurgitating whatever lies are fed to them by the likes of the Obama and Biden Administrations and consciously making editorial choices to bury any story that might reflect poorly on Democrats. _______________________________ It's their smug self-righteousness in that first instance that angers me the most."

It was not bad for the GOP. It says nothing about the mid-terms good or bad. Trump has been in office less than a year. There is still almost a full year until the mid-terms.

"The "Kill Them All" Hoax is cloaked in deep legal discussions from people who learned the term "Geneva Conventions" last week. Engaging them on their quasi-legal nitwittery only serves to dignify their lies. So let me tell you the one and only thing anybody needs to know to put this to rest. The Democrat/Media Complex wants you to believe that two "fisherman" survived a first strike on their drug-laden speedboat and were then floating in the water helplessly like Rose and Jack at the end of "Titanic" and we gunned them down as helpless victims.

"I "asserted" nothing. I made a simple statement of plain undeniable facts. Hegseth is eradicating the "nation building" R2P restrictive ROE policies that created the nightmare of XX years of useless endless wars. Under Hegseth the military is a deterrent to be used only in direct defense of US national interests and when it is used it will be incredibly lethal and violent and the conflict will be short. This is the antidote to the "Long Wars" of our GWOT failures. Wake up. These are not my opinions. These are the stated goals of both Hegseth and the new National Security Strategy. You're"

Actions that at face value appear highly irrational to others almost always make sense when you understand the underlying assumptions made by the person engaging in the seemingly irrational act. Put another way when someone makes wrong assumptions their actions are rational within the framework of those erroneous assumptions but those same actions appear irrational"

"Quick Bit of Army Trivia: The title Sedition X really resonates with Army veterans for reasons I will explain. In the Army certain duty positions have specific numbers that coincide with that position for radio call signs and vehicle bumper numbers. X = S-1 (Personnel) X = S-2 (Intelligence) 3= S-3 (Operations) X = S-4 (Logistics) X = Executive Officer or XO *and* X = Commanderi.e. The Old Manthe boss. So for example the nickname of the 3rd Brigade of the 82nd Airborne Division is the Panthers so the Brigade Commander has the radio call sign of Panther X and the bumper number on his command"

"I'm going to say this one more time. If someone quote posts a Leftist pile of garbage as a critique and you criticize that quote post by referring to "you" (second person) being wrong it is impossible for the quote poster to tell whether your comment is a critique of the original Leftist post or the MAGA quote poster critiquing the Leftist poster. I have nuked more than one MAGA commenter believing their critique was aimed at me due to their ambiguity. Please strive to be very specific in your X posts. Words matter"

"Read the "methodology." Basically "freedom of the press" under these metrics means that the official state-sanctioned press is free to state leftist orthodoxies without fear of criticism by the public or those being reported upon and in fact such criticism is suppressed. That is the Orwellian manner in which these nefarious information scoundrels seek to pretend that the only nation in the world that genuinely protects free speech ranks "55th" in freedom of the press. 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣 Nice try Eurotrash Dingus"

Your generation of "scientists" became political hacks who cared more for fame power politics and entertainment than science. -"Two weeks to stop the spread" -"Wuhan wet market" -"The lockdowns can stop for BLM protests" -"Man-made climate change" -"Bill Nye the Science Guy" -Anthony Fauci -"Gender assigned at birth" -Social justice causes masquerading as "science" funded with our tax dollars as scams -"MIami will be under water by the year 2000" The list goes on and on.

"RE: "Free Speech" USA vs. EU So we are deep into a public debate on free speech in the USA versus free speech in the EU. To further this debate it is important to understand that each side ascribes different meanings to the phrase free speech. In the USA "free speech" means Americans can write or say whatever they want whenever they want without fear of suppression or punishment by the government except in cases of legitimate threats of physical harm or legal defamation. (Yes I know that in strictly legal termstime place manner restrictions e.g.its more complex than that but as a laypersons"

"Growing up I wanted to be an astronaut. In first grade I had an Apollo XX lunchbox. I built all the models. I watched all the Apollo Skylab and Shuttle missions whenever I could. "The Right Stuff" was my favorite book. "The Right Stuff" was also my favorite movie. I think what attracted me to astronauts was their quiet bravery coupled with true patriotism and a public sense of humility: "Just doing my job." Somehow Mark Kelly has made me hate astronauts"

"X is currently full of Europeans trying to tell Americans how much better life in Europe is. One of the constant refrains is "Our government makes sure we get XX days of vacation yearly." Euros do not realize that is not the flex they think it is. To us Americans it reeks of indolence explains why worker productivity is so much lower in Europe and it kinda pisses us off because that indolence was paid for by XX years of American taxpayers' money defending their right to be indolent"

"I was quite literally radicalized by XX Minutes. I used to be like so many Americans watching it religiously and trusting it. But then as a young man I watched them do a report on something for which I am an expert. Their reporting was wildly inaccurate and was obviously done in such a way as to pass untruths as truths in order to advance a leftwing political narrative. I never looked back and never again trusted ANY media outlet. I submit that XX Minutes has done more damage to truth in America than any other institution in the past XXX years.
