Hegseth's Lawyer Drops the Hammer on West
Point Over False Story, Academy Issues Statement

Original Article

Posted By: ladydawgfan, 12/12/2024 2:31:41 AM

The latest story against Pete Hegseth just went south and was shown to be false. ProPublica said they were pursuing a story about whether Hegseth had been admitted to West Point as he claimed. They said they had contacted West Point and been told on the record, twice that they had no record of Hegseth being accepted. They then said they didn't run with the story when Hegseth produced a letter showing he had been accepted. Sen. Tom Cotton (R-AR) is now demanding answers about how West Point could have given false information about Pete Hegseth's acceptance to the Academy and whether they violated the Privacy Act

Comments:

Nice to see a quick strike response to the bullstuff that has been flowing about this nominee. It's just what is needed. The left is absolutely terrified of Pete Hegseth’s nomination!!

In hindsight, sounds like he made the right choice in not accepting his appointment.

His lawyer is an Annapolis grad. How delicious it must be for him to go after the entire West Point institution in the public forum - and during Army-Navy Week!

Military bureaucracy in action. West Point is a DEI institution, Do Expect Incompetency. Cant make this shite up. The Army was trying to influence Hegseth's nomination. Shame on West Point.

Hesgeth is gonna serve as Sec Def. I wonder if his experience being "Branded" will harden or soften him toward the corruptocrats he has to sweep out of our military.

The person who released the false information was probably a civilian employee. They are often incompetent due to hiring quotas. There may have been malice involved, but just as likely is stupidity.

West Point Honor Code - “A cadet will not lie, cheat, steal, or tolerate those who do.” I guess it doesn’t apply to their bureaucrats.

As Commander in Chief, it is Trump’s intent to eradicate the leftist woke ideology that has taken over the military. Whether that is with Pete Hegseth at the helm or some other nominee, it is going to happen. As per usual, the liberals are determined to show their bare butts and overplay their hands to the point of utter disgust from the American people. At this point any Republican who votes against Hegseth’s nomination will be embarrassing themself.

Having served the last five years of my military career at another service academy, this was no accident. This release broke so many rules on so many levels. "We will not lie, steal or cheat, nor tolerate anyone who does" is the foundational code of conduct for all cadets. How can these aspiring officers respect leadership when their institution allows something like this to happen?

of the Trump Assassination Attempts

The House Task Force’s final report on the attempted assassinations of Donald Trump reveals a disturbing pattern of failures within the Secret Service. The first assassination attempt in Butler, Pa., on July 13, 2024, was largely attributed to breakdowns in communication and unity of command, and inadequate planning. The report suggests that while no single failure led to the attack, a series of missteps allowed Thomas Matthew Crooks to fire off shots at Trump, one of which struck his ear. The Task Force found that the tragic and shocking events in Butler, Pennsylvania were preventable and should not have happened. There was not, however, a singular moment or decision

Donald Trump must move hard and fast to get his agenda enacted. He’s going to be opposed not only by the bureaucrats of the Deep State but by, to some extent, the courts, congressional Democrats, and soft Republicans. Fortunately, President Trump, as chief executive – the unitary executive – has tremendous authority. He and his appointees, as well as Republicans in Congress, must use it. They will feel considerable pressure to be soft and weak, not only from the regime media but from the spineless establishmentarians. They must reject it, and fully exercise the power the American people have granted them. There are practical limitations to Donald Trump’s soon-to-be-recovered power.

We've known for years that the number of migrants entering the U.S. during Joe Biden's term was massive. New York Times reporters worked with government officials and outside experts to "analyze the magnitude of the recent immigration surge in the United States." The results are nothing short of mind-blowing. "The immigration surge since 2021 has been the largest in U.S. history, surpassing even the levels of the late 1800s and early 1900s. Total net migration — the number of people coming to the country minus the number leaving — will likely exceed eight million people over the past four years, government statistics suggest.

There are certain behaviors we should not tolerate from government officials, elected, appointed, or hired. We shouldn't tolerate any kind of criminal activity or graft. And we shouldn't tolerate petulant displays of childish pique.

I love movies – there’s nothing like them for escapism and entertainment – but Hollywood is something else entirely. It is an orgy or narcissism and rape; casting couch feminists and private jet environmentalists. The extremely wealthy who set up “charities” named after themselves to filter income through to avoid paying the taxes they advocate should be raised on everyone else. They are largely hypocrites and just plain bad people. They are also destroying themselves, which is something worth noting and celebrating. Box office numbers and high-profile flops like the Joker sequel (did anyone need or want that?) are some prime examples of just how far down the toilet Hollywood has slipped.

There is a wonderful and salutatory effect to publicly posting a head on a pike for all to see. Now, after the hideous leftist celebration of the murder of that executive from an unpopular industry, it’s necessary – for the benefit of dumb and disingenuous people who will cry about this imagery – to make clear that this is not to be taken literally. It is to be taken figuratively. That is, we in the America First movement must figuratively post the head of at least one hack GOP establishment senator at the summit of Capitol Hill during the 2026 cycle.

Biden will be well advised to limit his pardons to members of his own family.

Barack Obama had long been rumored as the catalyst for the 2020 Biden nomination—and thereafter played the whispering puppeteer behind the subsequent lost Biden administration years. As such he and his coterie proved the virtual architects of the Biden administration, one of the most unpopular and failed presidencies in American history. Recall earlier that after a flailing candidate Joe Biden lost the first three 2020 primaries and caucuses, his inert campaign was headed nowhere. Barack Obama and fellow Democratic insiders abruptly engineered the withdrawal of his rival 2020 presidential candidates: hard left but likely sure-loser candidates, including Bernie Sanders, Elizabeth Warren, and Pete Buttigieg. The Obamas ignored or withheld from the public
