🚨 HOLY SMOKES. SecWar Pete Hegseth GOES BERSERK on traitor Dem Rep. Garamendi for trashing our troops on CNN, "handing PROPAGANDA to our ENEMIES"

Hegseth is so good 🔥

"SHAME ON YOU!"

"You SIT THERE and go on TV for your CLICKBAIT about 'quagmires.' It undermines the mission!"

"I hope you appreciate how RECKLESS it is. When I said reckless, feckless, and defeatist of congressional Democrats at the beginning, that came after watching YOU say the same thing on CNN this morning, a quagmire!"

"My generation served in a quagmire in Iraq and Afghanistan, years and years of nebulous missions and utopian nation building that led us to nothing."

"What we have right now, the way you STAIN THE TROOPS when you tell them 2 months in, 2 months in, congressman, you should know better, shame on you!"

"Calling this a quagmire two months in. The effort, what they've undertaken, what they've succeeded, the success on the battlefield that could create strategic opportunities, the courage of a president to confront a nuclear Iran, and you call it a quagmire, handing propaganda to our enemies, shame on you for that statement!"

"And statements like that are reckless to our troops."

"Don't say I support the troops on one hand, and then a two-month mission is a quagmire. That's a false equivalation. Who are you cheering for here?!"

"Who are you pulling for? Our troops are doing incredible work." @RapidResponse47

[Echoes of War @EchoesofWarYT]

In June 1775, the British military governor of Massachusetts offered a full pardon to every American rebel who would lay down arms.

He named two exceptions. Samuel Adams was one of them.

By that point Adams had spent over a decade engineering the destruction of British rule in America, and the Crown wanted him hanged for treason. He was 52 years old, broke, often dressed in clothes his friends had quietly bought him, and shook with a tremor so bad he could barely sign his name.

He was also the most dangerous man in the empire.

Sam Adams was born in Boston in 1722, thirteen years before his more famous cousin John. He entered Harvard at 14 and wrote his master's thesis on whether it was lawful to resist the supreme magistrate "if the commonwealth cannot otherwise be preserved." He argued yes. He was 20. He would spend the rest of his life proving it.

He was terrible at business. He inherited his father's malt house and ran it into the ground. He tried merchant trading and failed. The town of Boston eventually made him tax collector, possibly as charity, and he proceeded to not collect taxes from people who couldn't afford them. He ended up personally owing the town thousands of pounds, an enormous debt for the time. Boston never made him pay it back.

Voters loved him for it.

In 1764, when Parliament passed the Sugar Act, Adams wrote one of the first major American arguments that taxation without representation was unconstitutional. When the Stamp Act followed in 1765, he organized the Boston resistance, helped grow the Sons of Liberty, and pioneered something new in politics: he turned the Boston town meeting into a weapon, a place where ordinary tradesmen voted on questions of empire.

He wrote constantly. Under more than 25 different pseudonyms, Vindex, Candidus, Determinatus, Populus, and on and on, he flooded Boston newspapers with essays attacking British policy. Loyalists complained that fishermen and dockworkers were now debating constitutional theory in taverns. That was Sam Adams's doing.

After the Boston Massacre in 1770, he stood in front of the royal lieutenant governor and demanded every British soldier be removed from Boston. Not some. All. The governor caved. The troops left. His younger cousin John then defended those same soldiers in court, and Sam never held it against him. They were running the same revolution from opposite ends.

In 1772, Sam Adams invented the system that made the Revolution possible: the Committees of Correspondence. He organized a network of patriot writers in every Massachusetts town who exchanged letters, news, and grievances. Other colonies copied it. Within two years, an unofficial shadow government stretched from New Hampshire to Georgia, faster and better informed than the British administration trying to govern it. It was, in effect, the internet of the American Revolution, and one man designed it.

Then came the tea.

On December 16, 1773, after a final mass meeting at the Old South Meeting House, Sam Adams reportedly stood and said, "This meeting can do nothing more to save the country." It is widely believed to have been the signal. Within minutes, men disguised as Mohawks marched to Griffin's Wharf and threw 342 chests of British tea into Boston Harbor. Adams did not put on a costume or board the ships. He didn't need to. He had built the crowd that did.

Britain responded with the Coercive Acts, shutting down the port of Boston and rewriting the Massachusetts charter. Adams used the crisis to summon the First Continental Congress.

On the night of April 18, 1775, British troops marched out of Boston with two missions: seize the patriot weapons stockpiled at Concord, and capture Samuel Adams and John Hancock, who were hiding in a parsonage in Lexington. Paul Revere rode ahead to warn them. They slipped into the woods minutes before the redcoats arrived. As the first shots of the Revolutionary War cracked behind him on Lexington Green, Adams is said to have turned to Hancock and exclaimed, "What a glorious morning for America."

He signed the Declaration of Independence the next year. He helped write the Massachusetts Constitution of 1780, the oldest functioning written constitution in the world, still in force today.

After the war, the firebrand became an elder statesman. He opposed the new U.S. Constitution at first because it had no Bill of Rights, then supported ratification once one was promised. He served as Lieutenant Governor under John Hancock, then as Governor of Massachusetts from 1794 to 1797. He watched his younger cousin John serve as the second President of the United States while he ran the state where the whole story had started.

By the end, the tremor in his hands was so severe his wife Betsy had to write his letters for him. He spent his last years quietly in Boston, in the same plain coat, in the same plain house, talking about scripture and republics.

He died on October 2, 1803, in genteel poverty. His funeral procession was the largest Boston had ever seen.

The brewery wasn't his. The beer is just a name. The country is the monument.

18 months ago we were doing diversity and inclusion vignette training.

Today we’re obliterating terrorists, sinking entire navies, and snatching rogue leaders during their sleep.

Fort Benning is using bayonets again.

Understand how far we’ve come.

Not a step back.

@EODHappyCaptain Back in the early 90s I was a young e2 or e3 private walking into a bank on post. I walked by a woman in a navy uniform that lit into me for not saluting her. I had no idea what her rank was, to which she said, "you salute stars and bars!"

To foreign critics of U.S. power:

Peace is not mailed out like aid packages. It’s underwritten. By carriers you don’t build, by logistics you don’t maintain, by men and women you didn’t raise, and by a debt of blood you never agreed to pay.

We will protect what we must.

Its a shitty insurance program then.

[A Voice of Reason in a Sea of Insanity @sometrader78]

@TrpstrLeonOG Why do people struggle so horribly with the fact social security is not an investment fund? It is an insurance program.

Survivor's benefits.
Disability benefits.
Retirement benefits.
Spousal benefits.

All part of the package.
