"Because you — and I mean specifically YOU, the press corps — because you cheer against Trump so hard, it's in your DNA and in your blood to cheer against Trump..."
"... because you want him not to be successful so bad, you have to cheer against the efficacy of these strikes, you have to hope maybe they weren't effective, maybe the way the Trump administration has represented it isn't true. So let's take half truths, spun information, leaked information, and then spin it, spin it in every way we can to try to cause doubt and manipulate... the public mind, over whether or not our brave pilots were successful. How many stories have been written about how hard it is to, I don't know, fly a plane for 36 hours? Has MSNBC done that story? Has Fox? Have we done the story how hard that is?... There are so many aspects of what our brave men and women did that — because of the hatred of this press corps — are undermined because you people are trying to leak and spin that it wasn't successful. It's irresponsible...."

Fool me once, shame on you...
This was the beatdown that the Fake News deserved. Pete earned his salary right there. This is why Trump appointed him.
"It's irresponsible" Worse. Actively partisan, and hostile to US interests. But good to see new admin calling BS, not playing by MSM rules.
Shitting on success is routine for leftists. Shitting on any success that reflects well on Trump is their Olympics. None, as in not Fox either, of them have covered this whole story with anything approaching the journalism standards we met in publishing our high school paper.
All news is devolving into a he said she said or horse race dichotomy similar to how they cover elections. Election season never ends now because the DNC Media turns every issue into an election issue in the way they cover it.
It is great to see President Trump, and others in his administration, calling out the fake news legacy media every day.

Gee, Pete, I took the NYTimes and CNN stories as sincere expressions of concern that the single MOP attack wasn't enough, that many more were needed to make sure the job was done. Did I misread their intent?
Much to my disappointment my wife has started watching FNC again and it’s worse than when I used to watch. Every story is framed in the exact same language as the NYT and DNC frame it. And only DC and NYC news makes the cut. There is world outside the NY-DC corridor but you wouldn’t know it watching the former news channel named Fox.
Hegseth ain’t lying. Is the dominant-yet-soon-to-be-extinct media so dense that they don’t understand how horrific, bordering on treason their behavior appears to Americans?
The lamestream media folks should be fed feet-first into a woodchipper. Amiright?
Nice summation from Hegseth. I do think they need to go after the leaker.
Perhaps the media is being played, filleted and slayed by this “leak”.
Iman, the media like AI is not yet self-aware. They can’t possibly understand how they sound to humans.
Democrats and their consorts in the media and among leftwing advocacy groups are shameless and treasonous (literally). They have been waiting for a Trump, not this Trump, any Trump. ChimpyBushHitler wasn’t quite enough. Cruz or DeSantis would have been.
I watch Newsmax more and more, they are more likely to do in depth stories, but specially Jennifer Griffin is useless,
Someone who is pretty great, once used the phrase "strain at a gnat and swallow a camel."
The press were very concerned about the possibility of a female pilot being referred to as one of "our boys", but he's right that they have no interest in the difficulty of the flight for all of the pilots.
That was a good listen.
The hateful bias is so obvious and debilitating to these media outlets. I have friends that hate Trump, but love the military and are very patriotic. We have to avoid politics since Trump turned them into emotional non-thinkers , but they must be very conflicted with this, as they only watch CNN and are forced to watch the military they love being discounted while still wanting Trump to fail.
" Did I misread their intent?"
Yes, because if the same level of confidence was attached to a report that claimed total success for a Trump mission, they would have ignored the report and used the weakness of it to justify ignoring it. They need no confidence at all to report anything that's negative on Trump. That's why they consistently get Trump related stories 180 degrees wrong.
Take the win, Petey, and stop whining about the press. Id does you no good in the short or long run and makes them even more reluctant to believe any thing that comes out of your pie hole.
Hegseth's passion is refreshing. Can you imagine how he sounds to people in the military? Their pride must be through the roof.
they are the 'enemy of the people, and the Republic,' if they were directly paid by our adversaries, they would not be as
eloquent in calling for our downfall
The legacy media should take a beating every time they overtly become partisan hacks. Let them die from a thousand cuts.
So testy! So, you’ve got no credibility AND no honest answers
What a weak, insufferable c*nt.
He missed his wake up bourbon.
100%. But you won’t see a peep about this on the news tonight.

How about if he takes the win and continues to verbally abuse the news media for their very real mendacity?
This mission was carried out by Americans in their 20s, with the oldest being 28. An incredibly dangerous and complicated undertaking involving thousands of isolated actions with extremely complex machines and systems needed to to be done precisely and with courage. Things none of us here or in the media could or would do. The result was world changing, and may bring peace to the most dangerous place in the world, that has cost millions of lives over decades with no peace expected just a few days ago. What possible justification would an American have to discount that amazing accomplishment, especially as a first instinct?
this was the same press, that pushed for the tribute of the Iran deal, even though there was a fatwa from that same ayatollah
A approve of this message.
In the words of the profane Les Grossman from Tropic Thunder, "First, take a big step back... and literally F-CK YOUR OWN FACE!"
he did have a way with words, the resemblance to joel Silver was intentional,
Big Mike.... Petey is speaking to a audience of 1, DJT. He thinks that if he abuses the press, he will score points with the big man. Fawning and whining is not strength. He is about as wimpy as they come adn does not deserve to be in his position. Worthless.
you saw how they behaved to a simple anniversary parade,

Your problem is you have been lying about everything for years and nobody believes you anymore.
We are just calling you out for being unrepentant serial liars and just terrible people in general.
It is interesting watching you defend liars by accusing others of lying though. You are just a really dumb person as well as dishonest.
these are the same people who saw the thirteen dead at abbey gate, and then went silent mostly, not demanding the resignation of austin and co,
“How many stories have been written about how hard it is to, I don't know, fly a plane for 36 hours?”
Not nearly as hard as it was for Lindbergh. Most of the flying is done on autopilot these days.
Gargle faster, Hag!

The New York media really wants to strengthen the case for more bombing, for some reason. That is not going to happen: President Trump was clearly much more upset at Israel than Iran, even if he wants the courts to leave Netanyahu alone.
victoria… the little old biddy from Pasadena.

The question answers itself. Leftists aren't fellow Americans. They're our enemies.
Achilles, what? Thanks for the absolutely unhinged assessment of my intelligence. Got it.
He missed his wake up bourbon.
TBH confirms what makes her tick. Breakfast of Champions.
I expect there to be plenty of stories about how qualified trans pilots were bypassed for inclusion in this historic mission.
Anyone catch the expression of the reporter asking why, according to her, the female pilot wasn't acknowledged? That was some righteous indignation, there!
intelligence that low cannot be measured,
I dunno Smilin' Jack. This mission was 37 hours and involved multiple aerial refueling. Lindbergh crossed the Atlantic in 33 hours and 30 minutes. Did not have to rendezvous for refueling, so there is that.
Victoria shilling for people with a proven record of deceit . Russia Russia anyone, Mueller report, oh yeah, this time we really got him re: taxes, or what ever fantasy you still got.
Admire the ability to be wrong, consistently , and still keep going like a good party apparatchik. good stuff, very entertaining
I appreciated learning of the 15 year effort put into this site by intelligence and the military. One assumes (hopes) the same effort is being expended over other sites around the world.
yeah the 2007 NIE got things spectacularly wrong,
Actually, I prefer an adversary press that is skeptical of anything a politician or political party says. It's preferable to a press which just blindly accepts what politicians say at face value. And the press should never see its role as being a cheerleader.
the ones in an nc 17 relationship with obama, tell me more,
"Actually, I prefer an adversary press that is skeptical of anything a politician or political party says. It's preferable to a press which just blindly accepts what politicians say at face value. And the press should never see its role as being a cheerleader."
Does that statement apply to Clinton, Obama, Biden as well? because I don't think it applies to them at all. Biden spent 4 years as a jello mold, and the press couldn't say enough about how sharp he is, how wonderful. 20 million illegals, and the press wasn't aware the border was wide open.
An honest press would be nice. what we have is a biased group of trained monkeys who do and say what ever their masters tell them. That isn't journalism, it's a sad pathetic attempt to be good boys and girls.
"Mike (MJB Wolf) said...
... the media like AI is not yet self-aware. They can’t possibly understand how they sound to humans."
I loved that comment. I intend to use versions.
I always believed that the strike crushed the nuclear weapons program but belief is the right word. I'll describe my attempts to gain knowledge, in addition to belief. The Pentagon said it was to early to issue battle damage assessments, then nothing. So there was nothing for me to know. After a day or so Maxar posted before and after pictures purporting to show the damage. I was shocked at its extent and could not understand how anyone could doubt the blow that was delivered. Then I realized I was looking at the "before" picture and the terrain in that part of Iran just looks as if it had been recently bombed. To me the after picture looked pretty much the same. Then a new set of pictures came out with arrows pointing at something I couldn't make out as the bomb damage. But these pictures had an accompanying story line, namely that the effort was the same as that in Stars Wars or Top Gun Maverick - namely to drop a bomb into a ventilation shaft so as to reach an underground installation. And that the effort was successful. That's the meaning of "pinpoint accuracy." But then CNN said: "Yes, the bombs got in but however, there was no real damage." CNN lips were moving so this was lying. How would they or anyone know the damage until someone got in there? and I noticed that no one had gotten in. In fact, the Israelis bombed the entrance/exits so no one could get in - or out. Then Iran threw six bombs at one of our bases after notifying us they were doing to do it, declared victory and ordered us to negotiate and so I then knew we'd crushed the nuclear weaponization sites. You may say that's not evidence but I think it's all I'm going to get. If we hit underground uranium enrichment and storage sites, we rendered the area radioactive. Everyone down there is dead, I hope for their sakes, and no one is going to tunnel toward radiation to see how much there is.
If there were to be a single picture explaining this raid better it would show the outline of the underground complex and how the bombs hit right on that outline, not to the left or right, where they would just have been blowing up rock. It would show how the bombs craters are right above the centrifuge area showing that we'd seen right through 600 feet of earth to know where to hit to hurt the most. Flying at night above hostile territory in the dark of the moon after 18 hours, we launched bombs that drilled down through 600 feet of rock at the precise spot which would hit a hidden room in a secret installation whose blueprint was supposed to be a complete secret. And then we flew home without anyone noticing us as we came or as we left.
I don’t hate the press corpse but I despise their phony attempts to report and their boughten integrity.
How do they target these bombs to within inches? GPS?
"An honest press would be nice."
Amen to that.
BTW, I'm liking the new Chairman of the Joint Chiefs.
when you find one tell me about it, there are some honest sources, but not the ones that get top billing
the ones who flack for terrorists, and smugglers and murderers,
Thank you Wildswan. I can also help with the before & after images. They show, especially Natanz, the surface before, which is hilly but appears flattened because of the straight-down view and has tiny pinprick ventilation shafts visible. The after shows those holes enlarged, but again they seem "small" because it's a wide area view. But the biggest feature change is that the hilly terrain is now one huge dome, indicating the ground below has been disturbed and lifted up much like a bubble in a pizza crust.
At first the result seems subtle but the more you see it the more you see how the terrain shifted. That they repeatedly penetrated the shafts to get down to the heart of the operation is absolutely awesome.
Ummm....tou know Victoria, CNN just had to cough up millions in damages after being found guilty of libel.
Maybe if you weren't busy making molotov cocktails in your commune's heroin garden so you can throw them at jews in LA, you would have known that...
How odd that Hegseth should attack Jennifer Griffen of Fox News, telling her she is the “About worst and misrepresents the worst”, huh? Griffen is actually a pretty solid reporter, why would Hegseth attack her? So anyone even those on the right are attacked for asking legitimate questions. Everyone just shut up and wave your flag.
Pete ain't whining. He's SCOLDING the press. And they deserve every bit of it. Vicky simply doesn't know what real men are like anymore, having been an AWFL for so long.
Planned Presshood (PP). JournoListic rites. The double-edged scalpel of hypocrisy. Abort, sequester, perhaps. Cruel and unusual. Progress.
Hell just froze over. OR Inga is complimenting Fox by trying to dunk on us. We all hate Fox now, honey. All of us. Griffin hasn't broken a truly good story since 2008.
And no one disparaged the military personnel involved here, by asking questions. That’s a way the Trump regime is spinning thus, speaking of spinning…
MSNBC played the presser live on Morning Toe. Then they used clips for the rest of the show, painting it as “how dare he disrespect our profession” and bringing on the usual talking heads to continue disputing minor points of how badly fucked the Iranians are.

what was that line abut fleet street,
"BTW, I'm liking the new Chairman of the Joint Chiefs"
I think most people feel that way. Victoria made a comment about the SecDef- what she failed to say, is that under Biden no one, unless they were trans, wanted to be part of a pussy military who valued climate change, and trans rights, over being prepared to actually fight a war.
Recruitment numbers are up, big time. Morale is up as well. that is due not just to Trump, but to the new SecDef.
What the leftists won't say, but is very obvious, is that they prefer a military that wears skirts, and knee pads, better to satisfy our sworn enemies.
General Caine came out of retirement to serve again-I'm glad he did.
I watched the entire presser live this AM. What an embarrassment to the US having Hegseth up there attacking the press personally, he looked drunk.
The question that I want the answer for; did the pilots raw dog the flight?
I want to agree with Hegseth, but there is an easy retort. Efforts to make Trump’s Administration look bad at the risk of making employees in the Administration look bad is no different when the Right does so about Biden on say the Afghan withdrawal. You might say, “but one is a success and another a failure”; yeah, but to the pilots that flew those missions in either case, they did the job they were assigned and did it well. Whether it was the right mission will be determined by history.
why do you live in this country, you obviously despise it, only traitors and criminals earn your approval,

like vipers, we recognize them by their slithering,
Inga obviously feels the USA was better under Biden, who was sharp as afucking tack. while thousands of Americans were raped and murdered by people he helped to invade our country.
she is less happy with Trump, who decided it's wrong to kill Americans, and let's stop that.
Because blind irrational hate is powerful, and ignores facts, logic, and common sense. It also destroys people.
Since 2015, deciphering the truth about Trump from media reports has required one to wear special media reality goggles with corrective lenses that fill in omissions, unspin spin, and beep loudly when a likely untruth is told.
Repeated use of the goggles has made them ever more sophisticated. The popularity of the goggles signals an irreversible and widespread loss of media credibility.
Most of this “press conference” is Hegseth yelling at the media. He is so obsessed with his press coverage that he can’t even function. He looks like SNL satire -- down to every detail. The cosplay self-decoration, alone, is unwitting self-parody.
I turned on the car Radio and got NPR reporting on Trump at the NATO summit. Instead of giving us a grownup analysis of what happened and whether it was good or bad for the USA, the reporter childishly went through each item and declared whether it was a "Victory for Trump or not". And of course, rarely gave Trump credit for a "victory".
Good that Pete points out the press bias and refusal to praise the American servicemen because "that might give aid and comfort to Trump".
BTW, the other thing NPR/MSM do is constantly frame Ukrainian issues from Zelensky's POV, never the USA point of view.
.
If listen to the MSM on Ukrainian issues, you'd be forgiven for thinking the Press were all Ukrainians and not Americans Of course, they all write about Israel like they're Israelis. And if Trump gets in dispute with the Euros, then they frame it as "Was it good for Europe?".
Is that a pocket square? It doesn't match the tie. Is it supposed to look like a ribbon rack? Ribbon racks on civilian suits look weird.
Dude "unwitting self-parody" is our nickname for you.
Lance, Hegseth almost always wears a US Flag pocket square and a lapel pin of his regimental crest. He was doing this back in the Fox News days. They are his attributes, like Peter’s keys or Laurence’s gridiron, or Trump’s hair.

A ray of hope in a crowd of clapping seals.
I do not want the press sucking Donald Trump's dick. That's not the function of a healthy press in the United States. It really does suck that our press won't do this with Democrat presidents.
Nevertheless ... I and a lot of other people remain skeptical that Donald Trump has NOT DONE ENOUGH to destroy Iran. These strikes helped Donald Trump in that they let him go in, claim victory, then get out all in one news cycle and the entire administration is attempting a full court press in the media to make it "out of bounds" to question this narrative.
Fuck that. Show me. I have eyes. The Fordow site was not "obliterated." If you claim it is you are going to have to show me. If you attack when questioned ... as a way of deflecting and not answering the question, that is evidence that you don't want people to know the answer and that's pretty much all the Trump Administration is doing right now.
They are attacking anybody who questions the success of this mission.
Iran wants Death To America. We have not done enough to eliminate that threat.
FLC--You gotta be joking. Or out of your fucking mind. Or both.
You think this was all just a political photo op? Really?
The reason the deep state is leaking against Trump is because he is trying to douse the embers of this war, and they are trying to spark it up again. It's that simple. The nuke thing is just a pretext, unless you firmly believe that it is an unacceptable risk that any country should rise in affluence and power to rival your own, no matter how slight the risk is that one day they might turn evil. So using this logic, you then claim to be true now, that which you have the tiniest fear might possibly happen: "They are evil! They want to die in a blaze of glory! They are working on a bomb this minute! It's a lead pipe cinch, and the proof is that we are afraid that there is tiny possibility that it might happen someday!"
If somebody says "Iran is three years away from making a bomb," that doesn't mean they are trying to build one, it means that, should they decide to build a bomb today, IF THEY DECIDE to build a bomb today, they could have one in three years, if they don't, well it's three years from the day they do, if they ever do. They have been on the brink of having a bomb for decades.
Of course, nobody would blame them for building one now. But Germany, back before WWI, had its own version of the bomb, they started building a navy, which Bismarck told them was stupid, but Bismarck could not live forever, so he passed on, and Germany started building a navy, and Britain, dominating the globe, at this time, but living on an island, could not brook this possibility, so it was total war, and it took two world wars to destroy Germany's military potential so that Britain was safe again from any possibility of a rival arising in Europe.
"Special relationship" really means that the US was allowed to have a navy that rivaled that of the British Empire, they would consent to be Greece to our Rome, as long as they can still run things from the background, the éminence grise to the American empire.
The Democratic Media lie - and Pete smacked em down. Good.
Soviet-like Lying liars who lie - that's all they deserve.
I think if we just give Trump a medal or a trophy for the Iran bombing he might be able to move on. Seems like the easiest solution.
the people who enabled the tribute, the ones ben rhodes wryly remarked how ignorant they were to David Samuels, have removed all doubt again,
yes Chuck you are not anymore believable on this front either,
Again - it is downright hilarious - that the same liars who said Hunter's laptop was not real - are the same liars telling us that Iran was years away from a bomb - but now that Trump's amazing team took it out with precision -- Iran is NOW only months away from a bomb.
Maff.
If you ever wondered why the Treaty of Versailles, "the peace to end all peace," was so brutal to Germany, it was because the whole idea of the war, from Britain's side, was to slight Germany militarily, the way Cromwell marched around England and slighted the castles of the great families. You can see once great castles like Kenilworth, today, reduced to ruins, "just in case." Still worth the trip though.
like when joe cirincione who pushed the iran deal, well just pipe down,
So much money is spent training pilots to fly the plane for 36 hours that they'd better be able to do it. It's not a gift to us or to them.
not knowing Clemenceau, was the driver behind Versailles gets you docked 100 demerits,
the Anglosphere, the proud brotherhood, has really gone down the tubes from Australia down under to what now is called Perfidious Albion,
So many people have such firm and confident beliefs about things they have no way of knowing. A little humility is seldom a mistake. On balance, it seems very likely to me that the centrifuges were destroyed. Israel planted a virus that destroyed them simply by slowing them down to run at a resonant frequency. They are very delicate machines built to high tolerances and spinning at 50,000 RPM.
maybe when Nigel becomes PM it will retain some of it's prestige,
"So much money is spent training pilots to fly the plane for 36 hours that they'd better be able to do it."
I think most people pretty much assume that is difficult. I didn’t need a story from Hegseth to figure that one out. I just wanted to know about the Iranian HEU.
Ok, not abortion, sequestration... obliteration. Perhaps transJournoListic dysphoria therapy to resolve their split personality disorder. To report or narrate, perchance to publish handmade tales, that is the question.
The marketplace would/should be causing CNN and the rest of mainstream media to fail but US Treasury (heavily) subsidizes the propaganda, directly as we've seen and indirectly as is more difficult to see, especially when the propaganda media plays fast and loose with the truth, and definitions of words, and idioms. Also, money is fungible...
Abortion, sequestration... obliteration would be cruel and unusual punishment, a violation of their right to publish. A little therapeutic treatment of their dysphoria may be sufficient to straighten their orientation.
the supply of this tripe, which we see USAID lavishly funded, far exceeds the demand, they make apologia for the Iranian regime, the Taliban emirate et al, once upon a time they sang
the notes from Riyadh, now they hum Doha notes,
"The cars and small trucks at the site were those of concrete workers trying to cover up the top of the shafts. Nothing was taken out of facility. Would take too long, too dangerous, and very heavy and hard to move!" ~ Donald J. Trump @realDonaldTrump
"it would be simple. It’s just cylinders filled with a gaseous form — uranium hexafluoride, to be precise, in basically metal tanks, and you can just load them onto a truck and move them. If I were a military planner, I would be assuming all of it was moved.” ~ Former Energy Secretary Ernest Moniz
"The high densities can cause people to over estimate the physical volume of nuclear material. When solid, UF6 density is about 5 g/cc. 400 kg of highly-enriched UF6 could, neglecting the container, be as small as ~20 gallons. If it were pure uranium, it'd be about 3.75–4 gallons." ~ Grok
Proof that the hack-lair democrat party media works on cultists:
The number of Trump supporters who even know who Jussie Smollette is: ZERO
The number of Trump supporters roaming the Streets of Chicago at 2AM with a noose - because they don't like Jussie Smollette? ZERO
The number of democratic cultists who still believe Jussie Smollette's debunked hoax: 1.2 million
"You think this was all just a political photo op? Really?"
The Trump Administration is doing everything in its power to make it look like exactly that. It is reacting extremely, and very obviously defensively.
There is NOTHING stopping the United States, joining with the IAEA, from entering Iran and inspecting those sites. If Iran wants to try to stop us, let them try. We obviously have a perfectly good military ready to fight them ... right? Right?
I take note of the fact that when the Chernobyl nuclear plant exploded, many other countries detected it long before the Soviets would admit to it. They knew because it's trivially easy to detect radiation in the air.
Grok: "No countries have reported detecting elevated radiation levels following the U.S. and Israeli strikes on Iran's Fordow nuclear facility on June 22, 2025. The International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA) and several Gulf nations, including Saudi Arabia, Kuwait, Qatar, and the UAE, explicitly stated that no increase in off-site radiation levels was observed after the attacks on Fordow, Natanz, and Isfahan. Iran's nuclear agency and health ministry also reported no signs of radioactive contamination or danger to residents near the sites. Field surveys and radiation monitoring systems in the region, including those operated by the Gulf Cooperation Council (GCC), confirmed normal radiation levels.
"While the strikes caused significant damage to Fordow’s infrastructure, particularly above ground structures and possibly centrifuges, the deeply buried nature of the facility and Iran’s reported evacuation of nuclear materials beforehand likely minimized any radiological release. Experts noted that any contamination is likely confined to the site itself, with no widespread environmental impact detected."
You may follow the MAGA spokespeople if you want. I will follow the science where it leads.
We need to destroy Iran's ability to strike at America and we have not done that.
Victoria: the exact opposite is true. Pete and millions like him have wanted to give the MSM a shit sandwich for decades. Trump moved the Overton Window and created a safe space for them to speak their minds.
Trump is tapping into and given voice to the great unwashed silent majority.
It's about time somebody called these people out publicly. And that includes way too many people on this blog.
Think about what you're cheering for. And then ask yourself why.
What a weak, insufferable c*nt.
Hits a little too close to home for ya, doesn't it?
We don't hate the Soviet-Democratic Party State run media enough.
“There is NOTHING stopping the United States, joining with the IAEA, from entering Iran and inspecting those sites. If Iran wants to try to stop us, let them try.”
We want to leave them with some semblance of dignity. We are not an occupying force. The point was not to rub their noses in defeat. The point was to destroy their nuclear capabilities. And you know that. You just want to turn this victory into a shooting war. Bad for Iran and bad for our soldiers.
"Actually, I prefer an adversary press that is skeptical of anything a politician or political party says. It's preferable to a press which just blindly accepts what politicians say at face value."
Yea me too, but if that press accepts and even creates stories to protect one party and attack the other it's not adversarial to power, but to party. Just as clear is that they have no skepticism of anonymous sources, even if there is only one, and that one is deeply biased or even imaginary. Also no skepticism of reports with low confidence obviously suspect at such an early date if the story hurts the right people and with no regard to who else it may slander. They are not being adversarial out of journalistic principle, and it's obvious.
all of these hacks, brennan hayden kerry, clinton, they would be due prescription in a decent country, they are traitors not merely to this country but humanity, the last boasted of how her last ceasefire which led to the wars in '21 and afterwards,
Omg. The B2 pilots violated OSHA regulations against prolonged piloting without layovers. There’s a story for you 😉
its not surprising not a few of them took the Soviet side in the Cold War, and stood against Reagan,
Pushing back on lies from the press is just as, or even more important than lies from politicians. You are still being lied to by people who you depend on to tell you the truth. Many foolishly assume the press won't lie even after they have been lied to over and over for years by the same people. Who else is going to call out the Press when they all support the same party. One of the main responsibilities of a cabinet secretary is to make sure people get the story right, because you almost always know more than them.
its the gell man syndrome, crichton spelled out years ago,
A reverse cancelation or just a mocking attitude to straighten their JournoListic orientation. Karma-lic. Ironic, really.
so when a natasha bertrand is not demoted but promoted for her malfeasance, people tend to misread,
there is no penalty for lying, on grave matters of state, it's just a promotional program,
I see now why the press tried to hound Hegseth into resigning earlier this year. They were afraid this might happen.
Nicely done.
The "You said boys" Question.
Not only do the Soviet-D's lie - the Soviet-D's use petty theatrics/ manufactured sh*t show for their insane base.

I don’t think she’s driving a Super Stock Dodge anymore. Or the 1955 Coronet Hemi.

Let me just add:
“If Iran wants to try to stop us, let them try.”
This statement says it all. Democrats don’t want a win.
A few days ago we knew we had destroyed the Iran nuclear program. But the conclusion was nebulous precisely because we wanted the Iranian people to keep their sense that something remained, that defeat wasn’t overwhelming. Democrats know that. But if they can foster resentment in the Iranian people, if they can make future negotiations difficult for President Trump then they’re all in.
When this comment was made - “ If Iran wants to try to stop us, let them try.” - this guy knew any such effort would put US soldiers at risk. But it was worth it to him because possibly defeat could be snatched from the jaws of victory. It was worth putting our soldiers at risk if there was a possibility of hurting Trump.
I give you today’s Democrats.
