Here's Pete back in Feb'25

In February 2025, Hegseth said he welcomed a “Department of Government Efficiency” review of defense spending to help him find ways to reduce waste.

“We need to know when we spend dollars, we need to know where they’re going and why that simple accounting, and that has not existed at the Defense Department,” Hegseth told Fox News at the time. “We’re going to fix that.”

Guess what happened a few weeks after Sept '25? Millions of Americans lost their snap benefits leaving states to fill in the gap

Convenient Doge was shut down a cpl months after Sept'25 even tho was supposed to be around til July' 25

Rwsr of America struggles, while their leaders feast like Kings, guess that's what they voted for

Approximately 1,230 civilians have been reported killed in Iran, with additional civilian deaths in Israel and Gulf states during Operation Epic Fury.
Civilian Deaths by Country

• Iran: Around 1,230 people have been reported killed, including about 180 schoolgirls and staff in a missile strike on a primary school in Minab, southeastern Iran. Other civilian casualties occurred in strikes on hospitals and urban areas, though exact numbers vary between 555 and 1,045 in different reports, reflecting the difficulty of independent verification.

The current estimated daily cost of the U.S. war with Iran ranges between $891 million and $1 billion, according to multiple analyses.

Closed-door testimony by Pentagon officials estimate 11.3 billion in first 6 days.
But the pedo in chief cut meals for seniors to save less than one percent of that.

Final Verdict on ‘Patriot’ System’s Atrocious Performance

https://www.globalresearch.ca/us-ag...patriot-systems-atrocious-performance/5918630

Missile systems in the lexicon of most civilians likely a non-starter but on a planet where 2 of the most militarily dominant occupants come to grips with using their weapon systems directly themselves rather than a proxy vassal, military systems become as politically cogent topics as pipelines, trade agreements and tourism. While the Global Research article focuses upon and brings out the lameness of Ukrainian propaganda trying to downplay the prowess of Russian missile systems, the AI Overviews go in the opposite direction asserting US and European systems as up to the task but admits more costly. If real numbers, the casualties on the US- Israeli side seem minimal you can count on enough digits if you take your shoes off. Two orders of magnitude less than Iranian casualties.

With husband President Donald Trump looking on at a Women’s History Month event at the White House, the first lady declared herself to be a “visionary” who is “often alone at the top.”

“In solitude, my creative mind dances, filling my imagination with originality,” she said, then listed all of her roles: “mother, humanitarian, philanthropist, and entrepreneur.”

Melania Trump was also pleased with her work on the film about herself, “Melania,” which currently has an 11% critics’ rating on Rotten Tomatoes.

“I shaped its creative direction, served as a producer, managed post-production, and activated the marketing campaign,” she said, adding:

“Curiosity is a core value that keeps me ahead of the curve. Curiosity begets knowledge, opening doors to ideas and industry that I have otherwise overlooked. This unrestricted mindset has led me to build across very different sectors: fashion, digital assets, publishing, accessories, skincare, commercial television, and of course, filmmaking.”

She wrapped up by urging young women to “be courageous and take risks,” then introduced her husband.

The same husband that calls woman fat, stupid, ugly, piggy speaking at woman's history month

But how about that inflated ego of the dimwitted Melania... Was her mind dancing whne she got caught plagiarizing Michelle's speech.... She a philanthropist? A humanitarian? And entrepreneur??..... Seems like someone's head is filled with air

Hey at least we don't constantly see Trumpkina at all the tables with real leaders.
Still recall that picture of her, a handbag sales person (at best) sitting beside the ex Chancellor of Germany, Dr. Angela Merkel, a women with a PhD in Quantum Chemistry. And Dr. Merkel looking like she had something icky stuck to her hand.

The purpose of government is to benefit its citizens. Identity shortcomings and remedy them. Criticism is necessary to do that.
Where would the USA be if newcomers like Alexander Hamilton had left instead of improving their nation?

Nothing like senator and congressmen who use classified documents to enrich themselves by having advanced knowledge of situations gained by its government agencies.
More like the government is there to enrich the senators and congressmen.

Well that is what it look like these days.

The southern border issue has been constant for 5 decades . Carter joggled with it and any subsequent president had to wrestle with it and passed the ball to the next administration. None are to be blamed for it and all are to be blamed for it as none of them could apply a logical policy that could be maintained by multiple administrations.

To this day the US has not solved its immigration/refugee problem and trump with his weasels are still not dealing with the administrative problem created decades ago.

The US immigration problem is that its economy in order to match the lower paying Asian economies of scale, have to have illegal/trafficked slave workers. Its a good bet the ICE doesn't work/patrol in states where these slave factories work. ICE is used to kill the competitors in slave traffickers operations. Now what I wrote is BS, but think about it, if the government in the last 50 years wanted to eliminate slave factories in the USA, it would of been done back then.

The problem arises when the illegal immigrants see how the importation of illegal drugs could make them richer than the factories could..... Also prostitution is included. Backpage was blocked and eliminated (it was said to be helping law enforcement track traffickers), Craigslist is still up and running, and in the massage sections; even tho the escort section was taken out....
The Epstein files are a natural causation from Russian cold war tactics of spying and blackmail, to people not covering their asses. At the end of the cold war there was a loosening of measures... A loosening of morales too. You control the rich and elite and money guys, you control the country.

There is a problem of bringing lots of immigrants and planting them in the same area, without your culture being effected. Especially if they are of another religion other than Christianity. (Pretty much Spain, France, Britain, Dutch, Italy, German and Irish were all Christians, founding America).

I actually don't believe she understands what she was talking about.

I just can't help myself not sharing this with you guys. You can't make this up... its so funny 😆

Whisky

Pete Hegseth, the United States Secretary of Defence, a man responsible for the most powerful military on the planet, just stood at a Pentagon podium and said, and I quote, "The only thing prohibiting transit in the straits right now is Iran shooting at shipping. It is open for transit should Iran not do that." Read that again. Slowly.

The strait is open. Except for the shooting. Apart from the missiles flying at your oil tanker, smooth sailing mate. Beautiful day for it.
That is like saying "the only thing stopping you from crossing this road is the truck doing 120 in your lane. The road itself is perfectly fine."
That is like your real estate agent saying "the house is completely liveable, the only issue is it's on fire."
That is like your dentist saying "your teeth are in great shape apart from the ones that are missing."

In that note then the only thing prohibiting America from being great is Trump ... I swear when shit hits the fan, Trump will throw his Secretaries under the bus. Get ready to have Pete Kegsbreath be tried as Secretary of War Crimes.

Some dipshit even let her sit as chair of a UN security council meeting FFS. This would be comical if it wasn’t so infuriating.

"On March 13, 2026, U.S. forces bombed military installations on the island—including naval mine storage and missile bunkers—while avoiding oil infrastructure. President Trump stated the strikes targeted military assets, but warned of future attacks on oil facilities if Iran continues blocking the Strait of Hormuz."

Iran confirmed explosions but reported no damage to oil terminals. The U.S. aims to use the island as leverage to ensure shipping access through the Strait of Hormuz, a critical global oil transit route.

And yet. . .

"The U.S. military is responsible for the deadly strike on an Iranian elementary school in Minab on February 28, 2026, according to preliminary findings from a Pentagon investigation.

The attack killed at least 175 people, mostly children, at the Shajarah Tayyebeh elementary school, which was located adjacent to an Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps (IRGC) naval base. Evidence—including satellite imagery, geolocated videos, and the use of a Tomahawk cruise missile (used exclusively by the U.S. in this conflict)—confirms U.S. involvement.

The strike resulted from a targeting failure, with U.S. forces relying on outdated intelligence that did not reflect that the school had been separated from the military base by a fence and new entrance between 2013 and 2016. The Defense Intelligence Agency provided obsolete data, and the target list was not updated.

President Trump initially claimed Iran was responsible, but U.S. officials, including Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth, confirmed an investigation is underway. The U.S. has not formally admitted fault, but multiple sources, including The New York Times, CNN, and Reuters, report that internal assessments conclude U.S. culpability.

UNESCO and UN officials have condemned the strike as a grave violation of international humanitarian law, and calls for accountability continue."

She a philanthropist? A humanitarian?

She's a sociopath, she couldn't care less about anyone including her pedo sugar daddy.

She's a sociopath, she couldn't care less about anyone including her pedo sugar daddy.

She is everything MAGA hates.

 

[GeeBeeP]

She is everything MAGA hates.

She is everything MAGA claims they hate.

What they really seem to hate is anyone who isn’t unquestioningly loyal to the dear leader. And high gas prices, which may be the fatal flaw in their relationship.

Analysis: Two weeks into war with Iran, Trump has been knocked back on his political heels
By The Associated Press

The president — who kept allies other than Israel in the dark about his war plans for Iran — this weekend began suggesting the U.S. would need to lean on the international community to help oil tankers move through the Strait of Hormuz, where transportation has been severely disrupted, throwing global energy markets into a tailspin.

https://www.ctvnews.ca/world/mideas...has-been-knocked-back-on-his-political-heels/

Withdraw from the war zone, Mr. Trump. The Iranians will reopen the Strait of Hormuz themselves to get their economy running again.
