Trump Won’t Get Tricked Into Sacrificing Pete Hegseth to the Democrats
Kurt Schlichter


Let’s get right to the heart of the Pete Hegseth fake controversy. This isn’t about some Signal chat. This isn’t about some bullSchiff newfound interest in sensitive materials-handling that didn’t manifest until it became useful as a political weapon. This is about one thing: Taking down President Donald J. Trump. This is about wounding him, belittling him, humiliating him by taking the scalp of a marquee guy he appointed, and neutering him so he can’t reform the broken Pentagon.

Hell no.

They can only pull it off if Trump lets them. Their only power is the ability to whine, complain, and cry. But Donald Trump is not going to play that, and more importantly, we, the base, are not going to play it either. Pete Hegseth can be the hill the Democrats can die on right after they finish having margaritas with that wife-beating MS-13 scumbag.

If you were reading The New York Times this weekend instead of getting right with Jesus, you probably saw that the stupid Signalgate nonsense had been resurrected as well. They tried it once, and now they are trying it again. It was lame the first time. It is to scandals as David French is to raw, smoldering sensuality.

Recruitment is up, but it’s been going up for months, well before Trump took office Jan. 20. Military experts said it’s too early to say how Trump has or hasn’t influenced military recruitment just six weeks into his term. Various factors have a bigger influence on recruitment, including the civilian economy and military recruitment programs.

The recruitment process takes weeks from first contact to enlistment, said David Segal, a University of Maryland sociology professor and expert on military recruitment.

"The peak in Army recruiting was in late August 2024 — months before the election," Segal said. "In short, Trump shouldn't get credit for processes that preceded his election."

And

Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth and Sen. Tom Cotton attributed increased Army recruiting numbers to "America First" leadership and "the Trump effect."

However, data indicates that recruiting numbers began to improve months before the U.S. Presidential election, according to a former official.

Ooh, more government workers! Yay! Just put them into indentured servitude and call them "armed forces," and the small government types won't say a word.
