BREAKING: On Veterans Day, a guard at the Tomb of the Unknown Soldier at Arlington National Cemetery had to SHOUT at a group that included Pete Hegseth and other senior officials after laughter broke out, demanding silence and respect.
This is one of the most sacred places in America, honoring service members who gave their lives and whose identities remain unknown.

MUST WATCH: Biden talks about his cancer diagnosis.
Politics aside, this is a deeply personal moment. Cancer doesn’t care if you’re a Democrat or a Republican. Sometimes it’s worth remembering that behind all the political battles are actual human beings.
JUST NOW: Joe Biden breaks down in tears as he surprises his son Hunter Biden in Dublin, who is receiving a student award at Trinity College.
Hunter was awarded the Gold Medal for Outstanding Contribution for Public Discourse.
Love this!
Just met a woman, a lawful permanent resident from Missouri, who was detained in moldy conditions inside a camp for 6 months. Her husband is a Navy veteran. She’s been in the country for 50 years. What are we even doing. 🤦♂️
A security agent for Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth just warned the reporters here — for Hegseth’s first press conference in 6 months — that we will be physically removed from the briefing room if we are not professional and maintain decorum. We asked if that meant no shouted questions and got no clarity. It’s the first time any of us could ever remember being threatened like this. Shouted questions are normal. “This is crazy town” one journalist said, noting the White House has never threatened reporters like that. We’re in the room, back row:
Pete Hegseth just now: "In the 250 years of our American republic, no Secretary of War or Secretary of Defense has ever been impeached for carrying out lawful military operations"
Hey genius, that’s because impeachment is for Secretary of Wars who actually broke the law like you did 8 times.
