   I think your site is being hacked. I have been unable to connect to it all day and now the main page directs me to some sort of artistic architecture site, with your posts farther below.

     Are you still see the architecture thing? I updated the WordPress, caused problems for those not logged in. Then, when finally fixed by the Dreamhost folks it wouldn’t switch off that theme. I optimized the database, should see the correct theme now.

   President-elect was concerned about opposition to Sec of Defense choice, Peter Hegseth, a FOX ‘News’ commentator.

   So he changed the by nominating the gawdawful Matt Gaetz for Attorney General!!

   Says the WSJ:

   Another concern is why Mr. Trump seems to have chosen Mr. Hegseth. The nominee’s focus in recent years has been attacking the Pentagon for its woke policies on transgender and racial equity. He has made a cause of opposing women in combat, though women have shown they can perform well in many roles. Mr. Trump seems to want Mr. Hegseth to wage a culture war against the military brass.

   The Biden-era woke excesses need to be cleaned up, not least for recruiting from military families who have long prized the service for its devotion to excellence. Peacetime militaries tend to lapse into promotion based on administrative skill rather than war-fighting capability. But in the context of America’s security challenges, wokeness is a small concern.

   The military isn’t Mr. Trump’s enemy, and a purge mentality will court political trouble and demoralize the ranks. The draft executive order, leaked to the press, about forming a group of former officers to rule on the fitness of current generals would be a mistake that smacks of politicizing the officer corps.

   Firing Chairman of the Joint Chiefs CQ Brown would also be counterproductive. Mr. Trump is still furious about former Chairman Mark Milley’s criticisms, and not without cause, but Mr. Trump promoted Gen. Milley. The better path is to look for officers who understand the current global dangers and have good ideas for what to do about it. Adm. Sam Paparo of the U.S. Indo-Pacific command is one.

   The Senate will also want to know what Mr. Hegseth really thinks about today’s main security issues. He was a longtime hawk and supported the use of force abroad. But in recent years he has blown with the MAGA wind against U.S. commitments, notably in Ukraine. The risk is that he will tell Mr. Trump what he wants to hear rather than advising him to the contrary to avoid mistakes.

   A true Kamala supporter.

   Burke told cops that the killing was meant to “help people change their attachment to their parents” and “had to happen today,” she told police, her face covered in her father’s blood, according to court documents.

   Burke had been upset about election day and knew Trump would handily beat Vice President Kamala Harris when she allegedly snapped — apparently because when her father, Timothy Burke, refused to turn off the lights.

   Another brainwashed student.
   Apparently it was no big deal.

   A student at a Pennsylvania high school has been removed from school after he posted a “kill list” of pro-Trump classmates.

   The list was posted on a bulletin board at Montoursville Area High School by a 17-year-old boy. He posted the names and address of at least eight students and alumni.

   The student called them Nazis and called on his fellow classmates to destroy their homes and quote “kill the threats at all costs.”

   “A list of Nazi meeting grounds and conspirators in the Montoursville community that wish death to America and suffering to its peoples,” the statement read. “Destroy the buildings and kill the threats at all costs.”

   School leaders downplayed the list and said it was a non-event and described the threats as only vague.

   “It was really a non-event,” Supt. Daniel Taormina told NorthCentralPa.com. “It wasted so much time.”

   Local residents on the other hand were horrified.

   
   Just another Kamala snowflake.

   Dowd quotes the WSJ opinion page: Another concern is why Mr. Trump seems to have chosen Mr. Hegseth. The nominee’s focus in recent years has been attacking the Pentagon for its woke policies on transgender and racial equity. He has made a cause of opposing women in combat, though women have shown they can perform well in many roles. Mr. Trump seems to want Mr. Hegseth to wage a culture war against the military brass.

   There is no war to be waged. Trump can fire anyone he wants in the Military. Hell, Truman fired Douglas MacArthur, and Eisenhower fired Patton.

   No one in the Military is untouchable. What many people fail to see in these appointments is that Trump does not trust anyone, as evidenced by all this reporting that supposedly so and so is going to be so and so. That has to be leaking from Trump’s inner circle.

   In 2016-2017 Trump surrounded himself with dishonest, disloyal cretins who then went on to show the world why Washington DC is a get-along or get-gone swamp.

   Trump wants his people to keep their eyes and ears on the Generals who told him, yes sir, no more Troops in Syria after he ordered them out, and then they all bragged and laughed at him when he lost about how Troops were still secretly in Syria.

   Every one of those Generals should be fired with no pension for disobeying a direct order from the President of the United States. Hell they were lining troops up in front of firing squads for that kind of conduct during WW2.

   That is what has happened with most of the appointees so far. These secretaries are meant to guide the departments in the direction of the president, not roll up their sleeves and build a Star Wars defense system themselves.

   So as far as the left is concerned. I don’t give a shit what they think…ELECTIONS HAVE CONSEQUENCES!!!!!!!!!! SO SAYETH BARAK OBAMA.

   As seen on X:
   “The risks of picking Pete Hegseth to head the Pentagon are too great.
   I mean, we could end up with spy balloons flying over the country, disastrous pull-outs from warzones, Russia invading Europe, Iran expanding and a recruitment crisis..
   Best go with another DoD insider…. “
