Why doesn’t Hegseth wear his military uniform like all of the past Defense Secretaries?

Ron Filipkowski@ronfilipkowski.bsky.social

When you draw a platoon leader like Hegseth, it’s your worst nightmare. You just ride it out until he’s gone and gets replaced by someone who isn’t a complete jackass. Only a fool like Trump would put one of them in charge of the entire defense department.

So…RFKJ is against Big Pharma bc autism and against the COVID vaccine bc it wasn’t properly studied. BUT, the “cure for autism” was created by Big Pharma and needs to be fast-tracked by the FDA?

Why in the hell do people care if someone burns a flag in protest? The beauty of the United States is that we have the freedom to do that. What’s next? Mandatory pledge recitation? Mandatory standing for the national anthem? And the irony that burning the flag is how they are retired anyway…

Grants.gov, which once had an array of funding opportunities covering nearly every issue, is now cluttered with supposedly non-wasteful, hyper-niche spending for robots taking care of the elderly and giving grants to individual Americans and Slovenians to become friends. No money for DV shelters.

Ah yes. Please tell me about the “vast landscape of funding opportunities”. And thanks for adding pointless AI functions to tell me how to find appropriate grants. There are just so many that my poor little human brain can’t manage it!

Elon’s Pound Puppies are expensive. Weren’t they supposed to be working for free?

“Engineers and executives at the so-called Department of Government Efficiency are drawing healthy taxpayer-funded salaries—sometimes from the very agencies they are cutting.”

How much power would be needed to support the Technocrats’ AI goals? I imagine that it would be considerable; it would possibly be so much that Elon is willing to buy an election so that he can use our military to invade countries with substantial mineral reserves.

“But the money going to the Dept of Ed will now just go directly to the states.” Red States file a lawsuit arguing that they shouldn’t have to comply with 504 requirements. They know they won’t be getting that money and know they can’t afford to serve disabled kids. This is their solution.

And, if like Missouri, these states continue to pass tax cut after tax cut and are already facing revenue shortfalls. They aren’t going to raise taxes to make up for the lost federal funds. How do people not recognize this?

It’s not so much that I feel like I’m in a cage, but moreso like, at any moment, a trap will clamp around my ankle, leaving me no choice but to gnaw off my own foot to escape.

The DEI caused the plane crash narrative is a distraction. The tariffs are a distraction. Whatever insane nonsense Trump spews that the media will chase like cats chasing a laser light is a distraction. The only story that counts right now is the wholesale hijacking of control of the US government.

My Conspiracy Theory: They want to criminalize abortions; imprison women; force those women to gestate excess, abandoned embryos as a form of prison labor/slavery; sell the newborns to fundamentalist Christian families.

You guys, I think he is going to attempt to trap us here. Too many absurd ideas are for “national security”. Terrify people into believing we need to be imprisoned for our own safety. Take over all media. Yank us from the world stage. No one can see in. We can’t see out.

We all knew that Trump would target those in the gov’t who he considers to be enemies, but I think he is also exacting revenge on the American people for rejecting him in 2020. Yes, he is seeking to disassemble our country, but he is also trying to destroy hundreds of millions of personal lives.

You are up to date.
