Fun fact, Signal is encrypted end to end, but is also open source, and the Chinese and Russians hacked it long ago.

You would think the DEFSEC would be aware of that. Hell high school coders know that.

But he didn’t get the gig because he’s and intellect or a born leader. He is on loan from Fox.

Link to last story about SF suing 10 major food manufacturers: sfcityattorney.org/san-francisc...
1. In his 2024 book, ‘The War on Warriors,’ DefSec Pete Hegseth describes in DETAIL how he instructed his soldiers in Iraq to IGNORE the rules of engagement and the military’s own legal guidance on when they were allowed to kill 2. WILD new alleged $310M lawsuit claims DJT, Elon Musk, and Bill Gates running an 'Epstein-identical' trafficking operation;’ plaintiffs allege grooming, assaults, threats, and retaliation 3. Feds investigating claims that DC shooting suspect may have been blackmailed by threats to his family into attacking DC NG; prosecutors formally charge him with murder as evidence shows he allegedly studied targets before incident 4. DJT went on wild Truth Social rage-post overnight, posting 150+ messages ranging from treason to beautiful Melania; despite hour-long posting spree that ended around 12a, DJT was back at it just before 6a 5. DJT’s USDA threatens to stop SNAP benefits in Dem-led states like CA, NY & MN that refuse immigration data requests on recipients; millions at risk as Agr. Sec. Brooke Rollins cites “fraud” & noncompliance 6. ‘I’m entitled to a personal life:’ FBI Kash Patel doubles down over claims he’s used $60M FBI jet for ‘joyrides’ with gf, UFC matches, hockey games, professional wrestling events, and hunting trips 7. DJT's crypto empire — boosted by his own deregulatory actions as president — lost ~$1B in weeks as Bitcoin crashed, wiping out ~90% of the value of DJT's meme coin and slashing his tokens and stock 8. Admiral Bradley [who Hegseth/WH said carried out ‘double-tap' strike on survivors in alleged drug boat 9/2] will give classfied breifing to House & Senate Armed Services Committee Thurs 9. ‘Hell’s frozen over:’ House GOP join with AOC and use Epstein files-discharge-peition-style manuever to force a vote on stock trading ban to prevent lawmakers from using privy info for personal financial gain 10. AZ AG Kris Mayes sues China-based company Temu, alleging violations of Consumer Fraud Act, including selling counterfeit items, refusing refunds, failing deliveries, and secretly collecting users’ phone data 11. ‘Taking the gloves off’: DJT holds Cabinet meeting from hell; DJT jumps from ‘fat drugs for fat people,’ to the President appearing to fall asleep several times, to threating strikes on any country he claims makes drugs for US 12. GOP Matt Van Epps the projected winner in TN-7 HOR special election; DJT won by 22-pts in 2024; at 86% of the vote counted (Epps - 52.4% to Aftyn - 46.5%), now a 6-pt margin in DEEP GOP district 13. DJT urges SCOTUS to shield Bayer from 67K+ Roundup cancer lawsuits, prioritizing corporate protection over victims; prior settlements and verdicts total ~$10B 14. WH to Sabrina Carpenter after she told ICE stop using her music for videos handcuffing and tackling people, calling it ‘evil and disgusting;’ WH → “We won’t apologize for deporting dangerous criminal illegal murderers, rapists, and pedophiles...” 15. Pentagon Inspector General’s ‘Signalgate’ report turned over to Congress [redacted release expected in days]; investigates DefSec Hegseth sharing highly sensitive US attack plans via unclassified Signal app 16. DJT pauses naturalization ceremonies for nationals from 19 travel-ban countries—including Venezuela, Iran, and Afghanistan—saying citizenship is a “privilege, not a right” 17. Redacted contract shows ICE to spend $7.33M on Canadian Roshel Senator armored vehicles, built to resist bullets and blasts; despite DJT's trade war and “America First” trade policy; to be fulfilled in 30 days 18. Despite lacking the legal authority, DJT claims on X that he’s terminating all Biden pardons signed with autopen, claiming they’re invalid; an act that no other sitting president has ever attempted 19. DefSec Hegseth warned by senior military officers that 'Admirals have receipts’ documenting his orders and actions as Hegseth now claims he didn’t see 2nd boat strike of survivors, they were lost 'in the fog of war’ 20. ‘Wow': Newsmax analyst stuns by saying ‘everyone along the line who did it,’ should face war crime prosecution on alleged ‘double-tap’ boat strikes, as Dems threaten to force vote on War Powers if DJT attacks Venezuela 21. DJT envoy Steve Witkoff and Jared Kushner met Putin for 4+ hours in the Kremlin to discuss a US-backed Ukraine peace deal; talks stalled as Putin tells Europe he’s ready for war 22. Costco sues DJT for “full refund” on tariffs paid under IEEPA, saying only Congress can impose duties; if SCOTUS strikes down tariffs, $90B+ total in refunds could be owed; SCOTUS decision is expected early next year 23. DJT urges FL Judge Aileen Cannon [who tossed his indictment on the classified documents case] to keep blocking release of special counsel Jack Smith’s final report on classified docs case; has til early Jan to decide 24. San Fran files 1st-of-its-kind govt lawsuit targeting 10+ major food companies over harmful and addictive health risks linked to ultra-processed products; ~70% of US food supply is ultra-processed

According to our demented PedoPrez and gin-soaked DefSec, we are throwing away the rules of engagement and replacing them with "common sense."

This is too funny to delete, but FYI appears not to be true! (see text on medals)
Screenshot of DefSec Pete Hegseth's quote-tweet of Senator Mark Kelly's photo of ribbons and medals on his white Navy uniform. Hegseth writes: So "Captain" Kelly, not only did your sedition video intentionally undercut good order & discipline...but you can't even display your uniform correctly. Your medals are out of order & rows reversed. When/if you are recalled to active duty, it'll start with a uniform inspection. A close-up of Mark Kelly's uniform from Pete Hegseth's quote-tweet. If you look at the medals, you can see that the photo isn't reversed: we can read text like "NASA," "expeditionary service, "Asia," and "(United) States Navy."

We now have an avowed Christian nationalist as DefSec — someone who believes we should all be armed to the teeth with ARs so we can overthrow the government or quell elements of society we disagree with.

That used to be a fringe view. Now it’s mainstream. I find it disturbing as hell.

The main problem with DeSantis as DefSec is that there would be the constant threat that Trump would fire him on a whim.

I want to offer my resume as DefSec. I know about SCIFs, respect for expertise in a given field, that detailed plans and names of CIA operatives should never be put in emails and the damage a “reply all” msg can do if you’re not 100% sure who everyone is on the thread. And I’m not a fvvking moron.

#PeteHegseth initial appointment as #DefSec underscores #DonaldTrump DISDAIN & DISRESPECT for the men & women of the U.S. Military and the national security of the United States.

In 2020 when #Trump called fallen soldiers “suckers and losers”, he meant it!
