    what is his IQ? do you have the actual number?

    and what is "warrior ethos" in your mind? and how does "warrior ethos" qualify someone to run the largest bureaucracy in our government?

    you supported george w bush and the iraq war...but now you are a trump supporter and are into non-interventionism. you have zero cred when it comes to talking about fixing any messes with the military.

    On the contrary. I have higher credibility because I have learned tremendously in the 22 years since the Iraq invasion. Have you?

    hegseth definitely had a rick perry "whoops" moment yesterday. its actually worse because perry was able to name at least one of the 3 government agencies he wanted ot shut down. pete couldnt name a single country here. dude has not done his homework for the job. he is obsessed with "woke" and culture wars at the expense of the actual job. he is dangerously unqualified.

    Pete Hegseth Gets a Senate Pass
    The Defense secretary nominee said he’ll ‘look under the hood’ if confirmed.
    By The Editorial Board
    Updated Jan. 14, 2025 at 5:40 pm ET

    Americans didn’t learn much about Pentagon nominee Pete Hegseth at his Senate confirmation hearing on Tuesday, but they did learn more about the world’s greatest nondeliberative body. Democrats mostly played into Mr. Hegseth’s hands with questions he easily parried, while Republicans asked little of substance.

    The most effective Democratic questioning came from Virginia’s Tim Kaine, who wanted to know why Mr. Hegseth didn’t disclose to the Trump team a settlement he paid to a woman who accused him of sexual assault. Mr. Hegseth kept saying he was “falsely charged” but never answered the question.

    Many Democrats wasted their time framing Mr. Hegseth’s previous comments on women in combat as if this were 1994. But Mr. Hegseth said he now believes women should be able to serve in the armed forces as long as they can meet the same physical standards as men.

    Republicans didn’t do much scrutinizing. Markwayne Mullin (R., Okla.) noted that Senators sometimes show up drunk for votes at night and cheat on their wives, but they aren’t in the chain of command of U.S. military forces. Tim Sheehy (R., Mont.), after opening his remarks by asking how many genders there are, did ask about Navy shipbuilding, to which Mr. Hegseth basically said Donald Trump wants to build ships. No details.

    Ted Budd (R., N.C.) asked what the U.S. should do about its shortage of fighter aircraft, and Mr. Hegseth said he looked forward to “looking under the hood” once confirmed. He gave the same vague answer to Sen. Deb Fischer (R., Neb.) when she inquired whether the nominee supports a “nuclear-armed sea-launched cruise missile system” to counter Russian and Chinese nuclear capabilities.

    Mr. Hegseth made noises about restoring U.S. military deterrence, and that’s something. But it appears we’re on track to have a secretary of Defense whose real views are a mystery. Let’s hope he rises to the occasion.

    Appeared in the January 15, 2025, print edition as 'Hegseth Gets a Senate Pass'.

    He's grossly unqualified. Even Republicans were saying that until Trump strong-armed them into back him.

    There a lot of basic national security questions that he simply had no answer. If he doesn't know what countries are our top threats, what ASEAN stands for or means - how is he going to answer anything with more depth?

    And his drinking is a concern. As well as his philandering as that makes him an easy intelligence target.

    You woke clowns in here may call Pete Hegseth Mr Secretary now. I know it’s a done deal.
    BTW- Mazie Hirono is dumber than a piece of rock. Every time I go to Hawaii, the locals always remind me of their lazy brains. Lol

    LMAO after ALL THE LIES Trump tells, this is where you put your line in the sand. Some loser with little experience AND WHO'S OWN MOTHER CAME OUT AGAINST HIM.

    Megan Kelly also sucks, she's a conservative hack.
