Hassett is hands-down the most annoying spokesman for this administration. Not because of the dishonest things he says (that they all do), but because he always has that goofy grin that betrays that he himself can't quite be serious.

I realize this "Homeland" language is here to stay, but it still carries overtones of Germany's "Fatherland" and the Soviet Union's "Motherland."
It's not a good look for what is supported to be a republic.

I can go online and order up some business cards with my name and the title, “Secretary of War.“
And I will have exactly the same legal claim to that title that Peet Hegseth does. (Which is exactly none.)

Weirder still? One of them ended up on the beach in Texas.

This looks like the various threads on FB a few weeks ago that claimed various celebrities were donating to the homeless— and always the same $12.9M amount. Those were all fake, please verify this.
