Quality of life in Los Angeles is at its lowest level in 11 years according to a new survey. People & businesses are leaving to places like Austin & Nashville where life feels more affordable, safer, and cleaner. How do we stop this? We stop electing people based off ideology. Elect people based on competency and with a proven track record.
WTF??? Drunk Hegseth just called for the USA to abandon the Geneva Conventions — saying our troops should ignore “stupid rules of engagement.”
FYI: Those “rules” were created after WWII to stop WAR CRIMES. Hegseth is defending atrocities on live TV.
BREAKING: Hero fighter pilot Amy McGrath goes viral with a BRUTAL takedown of Donald Trump and MAGA Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth after their deranged speech to American generals.
This is what a REAL soldier sounds like...
"Pete Hegseth still has a lot to learn, I think, unfortunately. When I flew my combat missions, there was not a set male standard and a female standard for flying an aircraft onto the back of an aircraft carrier. You can either do it or you can't," McGrath told CNN.
"And so I feel like it's the notion of standing up there and saying to the generals and admirals who all, by the way, know that there were never separate combat standards for males and females, you know, combat jobs have had one standard for a long time," she continued. "And part of when we opened combat jobs to women, those of us who were in those jobs wanted one standard to be set. And it was."
During Hegseth's widely condemned speech, he ranted about ending "woke" efforts in the military, firing "fat" soldiers and leaders, and imposing "male standards" on all troops. The entire event proved to be a total waste of time, yet another case of a MAGA official prioritizing pointless PR over actual policy. These generals were forced to fly in to hear a former Fox News host play-act as a "war fighter" when they should have been at their post overseas, keeping American safe.
"So I think it's kind of ridiculous but honestly, that in comparison to the rest of what we heard in the last hour is really minor," McGrath added. "That speech was bonkers by the president, and everybody sitting in that room knows that we don't have a coherent foreign policy or defense policy. And that, I think, is a bigger issue indeed."
During her CNN appearance, she dug into Trump's remarks—
"There was a lot of rambling. There was a ton of lies. There was a lot of politicization as was just mentioned and some of the craziness that you heard from this speech," McGrath said. "But the scariest part was when the president talked about using the military and using our cities as a training ground for the United States military."
In a separate post on X, McGrath shredded Hegseth some more.
"This morning’s grandstanding at Quantico only solidified what we already know: @PeteHegseth
continues to disparage and lie about women in the military," she wrote. "He claimed the military needs to 'return to the male standard' in combat jobs (of 1990!), but here’s the truth: there has never been a separate male and female standard. When women entered combat roles, one standard was set, and we’ve been meeting it ever since. You can either do the job or you can’t. Period."
Well said!
Please retweet and ❤️ if you think that Amy McGrath would make a far better Secretary of Defense!
@realDonaldTrump today we see the lawlessness and total disregard for the law, constitution and law enforcement personnel. The pardon of hundreds who assaulted 140 police officers and those convicted of Seditious Conspiracy sickens most US citizens. #lawlessness#clownsquad
@tracegallagher Pete Hegseth is the most unqualified SecDef nominee in this nations history. He is an embarrassment to those in the military and his views on women in the military are abhorrent and out of touch with society and other militaries. He is a very low IQ person.
Yet another nonsensical rant about me filled with tired insults, lies about voting booths, and more, this time in my home state of California.
Seriously, Donald. Why are you so obsessed with me?
TWO SYSTEMS OF JUSTICE: Lauren Boebert’s 19-year-old son, arrested on multiple charges following a string of car break-ins, faced up to 18 months in prison and a $100,000 fine. He was sentenced Friday to 80 hours of community service by a judge who gave him a sweetheart deal.
Watch: Trump mental decline has accelerated so much this year - I doubt he even knew he was in Detroit. Probably not sure where he is or what he’s saying. So sad that’s the best R’s @GOP can do. They need to switch to Nikki asap. https://t.co/BTJqZVxulT
@LindseyGrahamSC Trump was angry, confused and looked like he was just lost. All lies no facts or policies. Why ABC didn’t let her speak I have no idea and why they didn’t fact check him every time and turn of his mic. Crazy - all grievance no plans or policies and such hatred for women.
@FaceTheNation watching @NikkiHaley completely lie, obfuscate and support a convicted felon. Crazy to think just a few months ago she spoke the truth about Trump and now she tries to excuse, color and whataboutism. Unfortunately she’s not a patriot. She’s an opportunist.
