I predict that this *unusual* appointment will end badly.  Can he even get confirmed by the Senate?

That might depend on who the majority leader is.

Why wouldn't he be confirmed?

My first thought was it's kind of an odd pick, but the POTUS has every right to pick his cabinet and I don't see anything in his background that would indicate he's not competent.

Pete speaks my language.  I've watch 4 of his videos today.  He's like a breath of fresh air I haven't felt since Rush.

Just need 51 votes...  Looks like we will have 54 on hand, unless the Collins and Murkowski's start oinking the place up.

Excerpt:
President Trump’s new Secretary of Defense, Pete Hegseth, isn’t mincing words on the issue of women in combat roles. A decorated 20-year military veteran with two Bronze Stars, Hegseth laid out his views in a recent video, making it clear he believes women should not be placed on the front lines. His reasoning? Hegseth argues that the priority of the U.S. military should be unmatched combat readiness, which he says is compromised when roles are determined by “woke” ideology rather than what works best for combat effectiveness.




The viral video is taken out of context watch the full interview!


Some women in the Marines and Army are obsessed with being on the frontline. It's their only dream. Plus, women make good pilots, especially in Apaches. But he's right the wokies are trying to put weak women in combat and that isn't allowed!

Something people need to understand about the Hegseth pick.

Our military is in crisis.

Our navy can barely build ships anymore. Our army has squandered years of munitions on the Ukraine quagmire.

Our soldiers are out of shape and morale is low.

Our country lost in Afghanistan and is losing right now to Houthis in Yemen.

Our military purged thousands of experienced patriots for not getting a Covid shot.

Professors warn that standards at our service academies have declined precipitously.

Our military had officers pick a fight with Tucker Carlson because he didn’t want pregnant women on the frontlines.

Our military admits mentally ill people who think they are the opposite sex and pays for their unnecessary medical procedures.

Our generals leak to the media about defying orders they might not like from President Trump.

All of this happened with “experienced” establishment generals running things. It’s unacceptable, and if it continues our country will keep losing wars, until we lose one we can’t afford to lose.

We need a SecDef who understands the scale of this problem and is ready for bold, decisive action. We need a smart outsider — and Pete Hegseth is a brilliant man who has thrived in the military, in academia, in finance, and in media. He understands the nature of this crisis and is ready to attack it immediately.

The people complaining think things are fine. They are afraid of losing cushy sinecures and lavish contracts. They want to maintain a failing status quo that works for them.

They should be ignored.
