Last week, Pete Hegseth, the pretty boy of Fox News, womanizer, and former drunk, summoned all of the leaders at the highest levels of our armed forces from all over the world to a meeting in Quantico, Virginia. At that meeting, he lectured them for an hour.

He essentially told them that the military is full of wusses, it is subpar because it is too “woke,” and that the alpha male is the gold standard. Oh, yes, and that many in the military are “fat.”

Then, ironically, our Baby Huey Commander-in-Chief, Donald Trump, was next to speak. He suggested to these dignified, experienced military leaders that maybe they should be using our American cities as training grounds for their troops.

This was not a strategy meeting, because neither speaker was capable of such seriousness.

Our allies and enemies were all listening, too.

This is the new normal in our country. One dumb and dangerous decision after another, where no one seems to be considering the consequences of their behavior.

I just hope everyone remembers that particularly insulting and ridiculous waste of the time of our finest military leaders next time Election Day rolls around. Do you really intend to vote for a continuation of dumb and dumber scenes like that one? I don’t.
