Former Fox News host Pete Hegseth’s crusade to purge women and people of color from our Armed Forces has never been subtle.

But today, a New York Times exposé revealed exactly how far he’s gone to dismantle the careers and achievements of our finest servicemen and women.

More than a dozen military insiders — both active duty and those already purged — spoke to the Times anonymously to unmask a horrific ongoing attack.

They detailed a process used by Hegseth and his team to halt senior officer advancements for reasons completely unrelated to merit, job performance, or fighting wars.

Hegseth’s efforts are part of a quest to advance his white-and-male centered worldview, facts, history, and actual service be damned.

In the absence of any such evidence, insiders confirmed that he has used his position to withhold promotions from qualified, decorated veterans. The Times cited several enraging examples:

• Last fall, Hegseth ordered Army Secretary Daniel P. Driscoll to remove two Black and two female officers from a 29-person promotion list. Driscoll repeatedly refused, citing their decades of exemplary service. In March, Hegseth bypassed him, removed their names, and sent the modified list to the White House.

• In total, Hegseth has removed 32 officers from Air Force and Navy one- and two-star promotion lists. He also pulled the only Black officer and the only female officer from a Marine Corps list, leaving their promotions in limbo.

• Vice Adm. Sara Joyner, a highly decorated three-star fighter pilot, saw her advancement stalled over a 2021 Navy recruiting ad where she said, "I’m not just a girl with a dream. I’m a sailor with one." Hegseth deemed the line a "big problem." Joyner has since retired.

• Rear Adm. Stephen D. Barnett was recommended for a promotion after successfully managing the aftermath of a massive Navy fuel spill in Hawaii. Hegseth blocked his advancement after Barnett participated in a Navy-sponsored Pride event back in 2018.

It is an outrage to watch a media personality whose greatest battles have been with hangovers intentionally harm the careers of people who risked everything to keep America safe. Hegseth’s actions are insult to all who have served and a risk to national security.

Blundell: When Trump took over the board with all of his loser pals, he also got access to The Kennedy Center bank account. And there's about $17 million that should be in this account for operational expenses that has disappeared ... where did that $17 million go?

Apocalyptic scenes in Lebanon right now.

Israel has launched over 100 airstrikes on Lebanon this morning alone.

Striking South Lebanon and the Bekaa Valley simultaneously.

Entire families have been massacred.

This isn’t a “ceasefire.”

This is Trump donor and Mar-a-Lago neighbor John Cafaro who got the no-bid contract to install a water purification system for the reflecting pool. He has 2 prior convictions, one for bribing a member of Congress and another for an illegal loan that violated campaign finance laws.

This is NOT Gaza.

This is LEBANON after Israeli bombings this morning.

They dropped 80+ bombs and killed 20+ this morning during the “ceasefire”

Yunanistan'ın Siroz adasında halk, İsrailli turistlerin kruz gemisinden inmesine müsaade etmedi.

Kıyıda toplanan halk, Filistin bayrakları açtı ve "bebek katili İsrail" sloganları attı.

Corruption is so normal in the Trump Administration that officials don’t even get fired after being exposed for it.

[Natania Marshall ✞ @NataniaMarshall]

So we arrested Maduro over a warrant, but Netanyahu is wanted in 124 countries and we’ve had him in the White House 6 times?

Make this make sense.

Trump se gastó 14 millones de dólares en pintar de azul oscuro la piscina del Memorial Lincoln... pero no pensó que la pintura oscura elevaría la temperatura y provocaría algas.

Ahora para quitar las algas, Trump ideó verter peróxido de hidrógeno... pero no pensó que este químico removería la pintura por la que pagó 14 millones de dólares.

Israel massacred this entire family today in Harouf, South Lebanon.

Not combatants.

A father, a mother, and their 3 daughters.

BREAKING: Italy's deputy PM and foreign minister Antonio Tajani just CANCELLED his planned diplomatic trip to Washington on monday, declaring that Trump's "serious and offensive words" directed at the prime minister "offend all of Italy."

This comes after Italian Prime Minister Giorgia Meloni TORCHED Donald Trump after he claimed she “begged” him for a photo at the G7 and that he only took it because he “felt sorry for her.”

The Italian PM was wondering.
"I don’t know why the president of the United States behaves this way with his own allies; it’s not the first time this happens."

She went on saying, "I can only say that I’m sorry he doesn’t show the same determination with the enemies of the West, with the enemies of the United States, whose leaders he instead shows himself to be much more accommodating towards."

Italy's prime minister is a boss lady.
