Summary

Trump’s nomination of Pete Hegseth, a Fox News presenter with minimal managerial experience, as defense secretary has stunned the Pentagon.

Hegseth has been a vocal critic of the military, calling for a purge of generals and questioning the appointment of Gen. Charles Brown as chair of the joint chiefs of staff.

Hegseth’s nomination is seen as a boost for the far right in Israel, as he has shown support for territorial expansion and suggested the construction of a new temple on the Temple Mount.

    Exactly, it’s such a bizarre statement. It’s like saying ghettoes and the holocaust were the same thing.

      I’m also guessing that the people in Gaza who are still alive think that it could definitely get worse. What with them not being dead yet.

        To quote Dr. McCoy.

        “He was worse than dead!”
