Pete Hegseth "unqualified"..
« on: November 15, 2024, 10:44:51 AM »
   According to NPR staff, Pete is not qualified to serve as secretary of defense.  Most Demonrats think that none of Trump's nominees are "unqualified".

     Elizabeth Warren in particular, is very upset with Pete's (and Elon's)nomination.  Well, let's look..graduate Princeton and Harvard..

      Also some semesters in the universities of the sandbox and the rock pile.. Twenty years Army..finished as a major..

   So, Pocahontas and friends...  Does your combat infantryman's badge have any stars?  How may bronze stars sit on your collective chests ?

I'm not totally convinced he is qualified either. BUT based on my own managerial experience I know it isn't required that a department head be the subject matter expert on that department. All ya gotta be is a good manager and to delegate and trust the folks you have who are subject matter experts. Worked for me all those years ago when I was a Division Chief in a job i knew nothing about how to do the floor level work in.

I trust Trump so will assume he is qualified if Trump thinks so.

Someone posted as a joke on another forum for Trump to put Kyle Rittenhouse over the BATF.  Someone else said Ted Nugent.

Its quite amazing how the leftist media swooned over Biden's cabinet picks. With the likes of Rachael Levine, Sam Briton, Karine Pierre,  but none of Trumps are qualified. If the leftist media, and the democrats are so shook up over Trumps picks. The way I see it is, they must be pretty good picks. Many in the democrat party, the DOJ, and FBI, are afraid of Trumps picks, because they know their days are numbered. Plus there will be things found out about the criminal activity of those said departments. I think Hegseth is an awesome pick. He certainly isn't part of the good ole boys club. As is the case with the rest of Trumps picks. Trump is picking the best people for the job, and not who the media wants or democrats want.
I'm sure there are some republicans that are part of the good ole boys club that are running scared also.

Picks that inspire fear are the right choices against those who are and deserve to be afraid. President Trump intimidates without effort, as a nod in the direction of the hangman signals release of the gallows.

Increase the heat Mr. President. They must feel the burn.  Purge by fire. No prisoners. Persecute the survivors.

I know how to operate a Retort. Pick me Mr. President. I'll play.

Hegseth is a fine man. CNN is making noise about a sex assault investigation. The whole Democrat precept and agenda has just been rejected by America. We love America.

Anyway, what do you think the litany of sex acts behavior these people have in their foot locker?? Dems have no business pointing fingers.

  Those accusations are by unnamed accusers..and curiously nothing was ever heard from them..before Petewas appointed.

   Correction:  Accuser named , but doubted by many..

  I guess anybody can believe them or not

  Curiously, moral accusations only cause trouble when the accused is a , since the left has so few morals..

  Can you imagine a lefty losing their political job, simply because they are queer, a cross-dresser, adulterer or cursed at God ?

 Everything the Democrats try, to persecute and destroy what Trump is trying to do, comes right out of the Stalinist playbook. He had a man with the last name of Beria, head of his secret service team, that the phrase, Show me the man, and I'll show you a crime, is attributed to. Amazing how a couple of women come out of hiding 20-30 years after being ''sexualy assaulted''. They tried it with Kavanaugh and Trump, and now with Gaetz. They'll try and find something on Hegseth too.

  The Pete Hegseth dilemma;

  Pete has been nominated and would make an excellent choice as secretary of defense.  ...And that is exactly why the demonrats and deep state repugnicans are already starting their wolf pack howl !

  Pete is a far different man than almost all his accusers..he has seen, done and faced more danger than most of them have or ever will, so we should
  not expect them to understand.

  So far as why they are accusing him of, that is between him, his wife and his God...and I am inclined to believe he has faced that crisis already.

  Beyond that, it is no business of congress.

   Perhaps Pres Trump should do some counter intelligence work on each of his accusers..which bring to mind the infinite wisdom of Jesus in dealing with such accusers;

This they said, testing Him, that they might have something of which to accuse Him. But Jesus stooped down and wrote on the ground with His finger, as though He did not hear. So when they continued asking Him, He raised Himself up and said to them, “He who is without sin among you, let him throw a stone at her first.” And again He stooped down and wrote on the ground. Then those who heard it, being convicted by their conscience, went out one by one, beginning with the oldest even to the last. And Jesus was left alone, and the woman standing in the m1idst. When Jesus had raised Himself up and saw no one but the woman, He said to her, “Woman, where are those accusers of yours? Has no one condemned you?” She said, “No one, Lord.” And Jesus said to her, “Neither do I condemn you; go and sin no more.” Then Jesus spoke to them again, saying, “I am the light of the world. He who follows Me shall not walk in darkness, but have the light of life.”  (John 8:6-12) 


  It is primarily accepted by most scholars, that Jesus was writing the sins of the woman's accusers on the ground...and that is what shut them up.

  ...But of course, if these political accusers are without sin..perhaps they have a case !   :D  ;D

The left have nothing else than try to use the smear tactics. Just like they did with Gaetz they will do with the others. They throw crap grenades, and see what damage they do. Gaetz knew it was going to be a difficult fight to get him approved. Its why he stepped aside. The corrupt people in power now. Especially those in the DOJ, and FBI are afraid, and they will try everything to Trump proof themselves. Trumps appointees know where the bodies are buried, and they are coming with shovels.

 It seems like when the demonrat's various efforts to block qualified people from serving...they then resort to digging up old accusations !

  ..And if they can't find any to dig up , they just go ahead and make some up.


  The reverse wouldn't work on the left, because they don't hold the same standards.. e.g. Ted Kennedy and Hunter Biden..

This guy seems to lack personal integrity, with women anyway… he’s blown several marriages by cheating on every wife he’s had. Hopefully this won’t spill into his handling of duties in office. If he can’t separate his personal and professional lives it could be problematic.

There is RARELY a connection between the two; often professional lives bring on divorce and that is the only connection.

I personally look with a jaundiced eye, upon any complaint from 20, 10, 5 or3 years ago that suddenly emerge when the accused runs for office or is appointed for an important position.

    So far a Hegseth is concerned, his case was investigated at the time.... and dismissed for lack of evidence.

    https://apnews.com/article/hegseth-assault-allegations-police-report-trump-e6ebec0a1a5c7fb51cb5e2198f5e12a5

    From the article;

    " The report does not say that police found the allegations were false. Police recommended the case report be forwarded to the Monterey County District Attorney’s Office for review.

Monterey County District Attorney Jeannine M. Pacioni said Thursday that her office declined to file charges in January of 2018 because they didn’t have “proof beyond a reasonable doubt.

   Tim Palatore, Hegseth’s attorney, has said the woman who made the allegations was paid an undisclosed sum in 2023 as part of a confidential settlement to head off the threat of what he described as a baseless lawsuit. ”


  So, we know the woman takes payoffs...and we know the Harris campaign gladly paid millions to Beyonce and Oprah...so one wonders if
   Perchance,a multitude of Benjamins, may have been sent her way.

    If it took money to make her shut up..one has to wonder how much it took to have her open up !
