every single thing hegseth says in public reveals a bottomless pit of insecurity
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.

The Covid Inquiry is a damning indictment of Boris Johnson's arrogance, dishonesty and incompetence. Britain is a worse place because of his terrible leadership.

Great read from Dan Rather:
"...The very existence of a free press is a threat to this president’s modus operandi, which is to govern by lying. Why would he want people around him who ask for facts and truthful answers?..."

An important part of the job for any WH Press Secretary is to clean up remarks made by the president or offer explanation/context or apology when warranted. But Leavitt never does that. She always crafts a response that makes it even worse by adding her own toxic twist.

the fact that you actually have to tell people that Trump is now telling GOP to vote in favour of releasing the files that he, he Donald Trump personally blocked speaks volumes.
Trump is now claiming he has “nothing to hide” and that Republicans should vote to release the Epstein files.
The only reason Congress is voting on the Epstein files is because Trump and the DOJ have been blocking their release.

During a decade of Brexit debates, BBC Question Time invited 50 British MEPs from the EU Parliament onto its show. Every single one of them was pro-Brexit. 45 were UKIP, 3 were Tories, 2 were Reform. Farage alone appeared as an MEP 23 times! Not one pro-EU MEP was invited onto the show. Not one!
