There Will be no Honor or Glory in the Ending to Pete Hegseth's Story

Pete Hegseth is setting himself up for all manner of legal hell after he is out of the U.S. government.

Don't be surprised if the International Criminal Court (ICC) swears out a war crimes arrest warrant for Ol' Pistol Pete once he is no longer being protected by Drumpf's criminal regime:

 

Link:  Pete Hegseth's troops mock him behind his back with devastating new nickname for Pentagon - Raw Story

  

"Secretary of Defense Pete Hegseth is being mocked behind his back by servicemembers, who have come up with a devastating new nickname for the Pentagon under his leadership, according to The Daily Beast.

Per the report, Rep. Seth Moulton (D-MA), a Marine combat veteran, confirmed to MS NOW reporters that, “I know active-duty Marines who now refer to Pete Hegseth’s department as the Department of War Crimes. That’s because they do things like this, destroy civilian infrastructure, which, just to be clear, is a war crime.”

"Department of War Crimes" is a reference to President Donald Trump's executive order declaring the Department of Defense the "Department of War" — which carries no official weight without an act of Congress — and to the fact that the administration is threatening explicit war crimes in the conflict with Iran."

 

Kegsbreath publicly bragged about waging "no quarter" war against Iran, meaning even captured Iranians would be executed.

Now that it has been reported that a US F-15 fighter jet was shot down in Iran and only one of the two pilots rescued by US military, the Iranians, if they were to play by the same "no quarter" rules that Kegsbreath has stupidly threatened to do, would be on the same moral standing as the United States if they were to capture and execute that US pilot.

There's a reason why Drumpf and Hegseth have purged the US of good, honorable, competent officers and replaced them with unqualified, obsequious quislings just like Ol' Pistol Pete himself.

A prime example of the fallout of having unprincipled 'yes men' in your officer corp?  Dispatching the power and might of the Unites States Navy to blow up purported drug-running fishing boats in the open seas, and I say purported because Hegseth and his people have yet to produce a shred of evidence that every one of these boats were running drugs and every one of the nearly 200 humans whom they have no due-process killed so far was a drug smuggler (which is not a capital offense btw).  

Sending the Navy to double-tap kill the survivors of one of those early fishing boat missile strikes is where Hegseth's legal jeopardy begins, but doesn't end.

Same goes for the double-tap bombing of the girl's school in Tehran on the opening day of Bibi and Don's Big Iran Armageddon Adventure that killed upwards of 200 children is likely to generate another ICC probe of Ol Pistol Pete.

Yet another double-tap bombing of an Iranian civilian bridge yesterday which blew up a bunch of civilians, a bridge which Hegseth claimed was an actively used conduit for the Iranian military to move missiles from site to site, which is a lie as it was well known and US intel confirmed that the bridge was still under construction and hadn't even opened for traffic yet.

All of that combined with threats from both Drumpf and Hegseth to destroy Iran's civilian infrastructure such as electricity plants and desalination plants (fresh drinking water - a human necessity) would be additional acts that could conceivably kill millions and could land Ol Pistol Pete and perhaps even DonOld himself some time in the docket at The Hague.

Therefore, I really don't find it at all that surprising that Hegseth's underlings have little respect for him, or that they mock his bufoonery, his incompetence, and his fake, tough guy 'warrior-ethos' dog and pony show, but most of all I am pretty damn sure that most of them certainly don't appreciate being used as pawns in the commission of war crimes by a day drunk, Fox "news" weekend talk show co-host flunky who is laughably out of his league when it comes to the responsibility of leading our nation's great military and military people.

If They Will Lie About Troop Casualties, They Will Lie About Anything Related to This "War"

Knowing just how dishonest that this execrable Drumpf administration is and just how completely untrustworthy and utterly devoid of credibility that the words of Donald Trump and Pete Hegseth are, I was fearful of this coming to pass:

 

 

Link:  Trump’s Pentagon Is Undercounting Troop Casualties in Middle East | The New Republic

  

"The Pentagon appears to be engaged in a “casualty cover-up” of U.S. soldiers killed as a result of Donald Trump’s military onslaught in Iran, a U.S. defense official told The Intercept.

An analysis by The Intercept found that the Department of Defense has used outdated numbers in statements on casualties, resulting in undercounts of how many troops have been wounded or killed.

In a statement sent Monday, CENTCOM said that “approximately 303 U.S. service members have been wounded” since the launch of Operation Epic Fury. But that number was three days old, and excluded the at least 15 troops wounded in a strike at Prince Sultan Air Base in Saudi Arabia last week.

CENTCOM would not provide any information about the number of U.S. troops who have been killed since the start of the war, but The Intercept placed the number at around 15. Six soldiers were killed in a strike on a makeshift operations center in Kuwait, and another six died serving aboard a KC-135 refueling aircraft that crashed in Iraq. Another soldier was killed on March 1, during an enemy attack on the base in Saudi Arabia.

“This is, quite obviously, a subject that [Defense Secretary Pete] Hegseth and the White House want to keep under major wraps,” said the defense official, who spoke to The Intercept on the condition of anonymity." 

 

Yeah - I have no doubt that Ol' Pistol Pete wants to keep the number of actual wounded and killed US military personnel from the public.  And to think we are only a couple of weeks into this bloody encounter.

We already know what a boondoggle so far this clusterfuck-planned "war" has been, and with Drumpf's arrogant and threatening speech to the nation last evening, it doesn't look like the boondoggle is going to become less cluster-fucked any time soon. 

Honestly though - I have expected from day one of the start of Drumpf and Bibi's Big Iran Armageddon Adventure that they would lie to us about the number of US military casualties if it came to that stage.

I also believe that until someone calls them out loudly and publicly for it and enough Americans become angered and disgusted by their deceit, they will continue to mislead (aka - lie to) the country about the human cost of this Drumpf war boondoggle, and before we know it tragedy of unspeakable scope will be upon us as a nation.

First Kristi. Now Pamela Jo. Tulsi, Girl You in Trouble.

Link:  Trump says Pam Bondi out as attorney general | AP News

 

"WASHINGTON (AP) — President Donald Trump said Thursday that Pam Bondi is out as his attorney general, ending the contentious tenure of a loyalist who upended the Justice Department’s culture of independence from the White House, oversaw large-scale firings of career employees and moved aggressively to investigate the Republican president’s perceived enemies.

The announcement follows months of scrutiny over the Justice Department’s handling of files related to Jeffrey Epstein’s sex trafficking investigation that made Bondi the target of angry conservatives even with her close relationship with Trump. She also struggled to satisfy Trump’s demands to prosecute his political rivals, with multiple investigations rejected by judges or grand juries or yet to produce charges.

Trump named Deputy Attorney General Todd Blanche as the acting attorney general, though three people familiar with the matter have said he has privately discussed Lee Zeldin, the head of the Environmental Protection Agency, as a permanent pick."

  

Let's just come right out and state the obvious here.  Pam Bondi presently finds herself out of work as the former Attorney General of the United States of America because she was insufficiently corrupt in the view of her felonious boss, Donald Trump.

Drumpf hired Bondi because of her existing track record of covering up some of DonOld's previous crimes (Trump University scam).

Drumpf fired Pam Bondi for two principal reasons.  First, Bondi failed miserably at covering up DonOld's role in the 'Epstein Files' child sex ring investigation.  Many of the 'Epstein Files' documents released contained enough information for most sentient people to piece together a fairly damning portrait of Drumpf and his relationship with Jeffrey Epstein.

Secondly, Bondi has failed at using the DOJ as a weapon to harass and persecute Drumpf's perceived political 'enemies' such as Letitia James, James Comey, Jerome Powell, Eric Swalwell, Mark Kelly, and others.

Pam Bondi's failing at revenge I'm sure was the deal-breaker for dirty Donald.  Drumpf is a vengeful old mobster.  He revels in revenge.  Drumpf was not only deserving of both of his impeachments, but also every criminal charge he has ever been indicted for since those ignominious congressional proceedings.  He's a mafia-connected thug.

That is why I highly doubt Bondi is going to turn around and reveal everything she knows about Drumpf's pedophilia problem, and believe me, as US Attorney General, she knows where all the 'Epstein Files' bodies are buried now.  The dilemma therein for Pam is that she is now personally in possession of some very, very powerful and very dangerous knowledge about some very wealthy, powerful people.

Just ask Jeffrey Epstein what that is like. . . oh wait, you can't can you?  Ah, alas poor Jeffrey, we hardly knew 'ye - but DonOld knew Jeffrey so well they were BFF buds for nearly two decades.  It was only fitting that Jeffrey died while in the custody of DonOld's government.

Anyway, as good as it is for the country to be rid of Pamela Jo 'Scam Blondi' Bondi, I think we can fully expect Drumpf to appoint someone who is just as corrupt, just as venal, and just as slavish to his unconstitutional and lawless whims as Bondi was, or even worse if that's possible, and with Drumpf I have no doubt it is.  That is why I fail to see much of a silver lining in the cloud of Pamela Jo's public sacking today by the Criminal-In-Chief.

Federal Judge Puts a Stop to Drumpf's Desecration of White House Grounds

It will never stop being horrifying knowing that millions of American citizens want to live in a nation ruled over by a lifelong criminal, convicted felon, adjudicated rapist, suspected child rapist, and coup-plotting traitor with ambitions of being America's first dictator.

As we all know, Drumpf took it upon himself to have the historic East Wing of the American people's White House demolished to make room for the construction of his big, beautiful golden ballroom, a ballroom that no known Americans were asking for, much less demanding.

Drumpf was ordered this week by a federal court to halt the ongoing construction of his big, beautiful golden ballroom.  And just like many other court rulings that have ordered him to stop doing illegal and unconstitutional shit, King DonOld is planning to ignore this order as well: 

 

 

Link:  Trump just sent GOP a vulgar message with pursuit of White House makeover: ex-lawmaker - Raw Story

 

"President Donald Trump just sent the GOP a vulgar message after he remained determined to build his signature ballroom despite a court ordering him to seek Congressional approval, according to one former lawmaker.

On Tuesday, a federal judge in Washington, D.C., temporarily halted construction of Trump's ballroom and ordered the Trump administration to obtain Congress's approval before the project could resume. 

Trump was asked about the order during a press conference in the Oval Office, where he said his administration would appeal the order and declared that the judge in the case got it "so wrong."

"He is WRONG!" Trump wrote on Truth Social later on Tuesday night. "Congressional approval has never been given on anything, in these circumstances, big or small, having to do with construction at the White House. In this case, even less so, because the Ballroom is being built with Private Donations, no Federal Taxpayer Money!""

 

Drumpf thinks that just because a few of his fellow 'Epstein Files' billionaire buddies shoveled a couple of hundred million of their ill-gained wealth his way that it gives him carte blanche authorization to literally tear down any US government structure and build whatever tacky porn palace he wishes to erect in it's place.

If that's the case then, what is to stop him from demolishing the White House itself and replacing it with some monstrously hideous edifice borne of his fevered, narcissistic, and classless imagination?

Drumpf screeched that the federal judge was "WRONG!" with their ruling shutting down his ballroom construction and ordering him to follow the letter of the law by securing Congressional approval.  And as it is with every one of his transgressions, the DonOld is just plain full of shit or deliberately lying, because that is what filthy old, mobbed-up, dictator wannabes do when they can't get their way.

Drumpf is the one who is "WRONG!" as he always is. No amount of his blustering and childish tantrum throwing can change that fact.

Drumpf had no business taking it upon himself to tear down the East Wing of the American people's White House to construct some ugly, gilded ballroom with his crooked family name plastered all over it, and the courts were right as shit to put a stop to it, and fuck Donald Trump and his shithead supporters if they don't like it.

America's Perverse Political Freak Show Continues Uninterrupted and on Steroids

The late great comedian George Carlin is known to have said in one of his final interviews:

“When you're born into this world, you're given a ticket to the freak show. If you're born in America you get a front row seat.”

When the conservative dipshits in this country decided that Donald fucking Trump was the best person to lead the United States of America forward into the 21st century, and elected him not once, but twice, Americans not only got front row seats to the freak show, we got backstage passes, and an invitation to the freak's hotel room after the performance.

Seriously.  Who had ousted DHS Secretary Kristi Noem's hubby being outed in the British press as a cross-dressing, Barbie-doll bimbo boobs fetish dude on their MAGA 2026 Bingo card?:

 

Link:  'Blindsided' Kristi Noem asks for 'prayers' after husband's cross-dressing scandal - Raw Story

 

"Former Homeland Security Secretary Kristi Noem was reportedly "devastated" to learn that her husband, Bryon Noem, had an alleged fetish for cross-dressing.

A spokesperson responded to the New York Post after the Daily Mail reported that the former Trump official's husband was obsessed with a "bimbofication" fetish scene.

"Ms. Noem is devastated. The family was blindsided by this, and they ask for privacy and prayers at the time," her representative told the Post.

The Daily Mail's investigation uncovered "hundreds" of messages between Byron Noem and three women in the fetish scene. Photos obtained by the Mail showed him dressed as a woman with fake breasts.

Byron Noem did not deny the allegations of cross-dressing or sharing explicit messages in a conversation with the Mail. But he did deny sharing "indiscreet comments about his wife" that could have endangered national security by exposing her to blackmail threats."

 

Oh lord, where to begin with this... 😖

First off, I am calling bullshit that Kristi Noem was "blindsided" by this news about her beloved husband and "devastated" by it.  And not just plain old 'bullshit' but bull-fucking-shit. 

It's quite well known in political circles that Kristi has been screwing Drumpf groupie and human leech Corey Lewandowski for at least a couple of years, if not more.  Some reports have her messing around with Lewandowski as far back as 2021 when she was still governor of South Dakota.

That means she was ethically compromised during her confirmation hearing as well as during the entirety of her execrable tenure in office as DHS Secretary, and being in the position she was in, and I'm not referring to her position of being bent over naked in front of Corey Lewandowski, she knowingly put American national security at risk.

Frankly, I could give less of a shit what fetish Kristi Noem's husband enjoys in the privacy of his own home and online as long as it's not breaking any laws or corrupting children.  Let your freak flag fly dude.

But what really pisses me off is Noem's retreat into her religious "faith" and "prayers" at this difficult time.

These are the same fucking people who are constantly shoving their biblical religious flim-flammery in our faces,  who constantly sport shiny silver and gold cross pendants around their necks and American flag pins on their lapels in public, and who arrogantly lecture we dirty fucking liberal hippie Democrats about god and baby Jesus and "moral" and "family" values, and yet the reality is they all are, every one of these MAGA apparatchiks like Noem, far greater sinners than all the rest of us whom they lecture wrapped up together.

This is the Trump/MAGA freak show in all of it's right-wing, hypocritical glory, folks and you can thank decades of morally bankrupt conservative politics and a thoroughly corrupted Republican party for it.

How Much More Evidence is Needed to Accept the Obvious Truth at This Point?

It astonishes and sickens me to know that the presence of an adjudicated rapist, convicted felon, and likely child-raping pedophile continues to indelibly stain the hallowed interior of our American people's White House.

That a sizable percentage of Republican voters in this country are seemingly okay with this pretty much validates everything I have said about the 'moral values,' or lack thereof, of  conservative Republican voters over the years:

 

Link:  New Evidence Corroborates Claims of Trump and Epstein Sex Accuser, 13

  

"A new investigation has backed up evidence given by a woman who has accused Donald Trump of sexually abusing her when she was 13, according to a report.

The woman conducted four interviews with the FBI in 2019 in which she detailed alleged abuse by Trump and child sex offender Jeffrey Epstein. Her interviews referencing Trump were initially withheld by the Department of Justice.

A report from South Carolina newspaper The Post and Courier released on Sunday has now corroborated key personal details given by the woman about a third man she claims also sexually assaulted her—named Jimmy Atkins. Those details are not directly related to her accusations against Trump, but suggest that she was truthful about other matters she raised with the FBI." 

 

Drumpf still owes the people of this country a full and honest accounting of his nearly two-decade relationship with Jeffrey Epstein.  By virtue of the fact that he and his enablers have done everything in their power to obstruct that full accounting from taking place, one can only conclude that the truth about Drumpf's role in Epstein's child-sex ring is sufficiently horrifying and damning.

And it goes without saying that Drumpf can shovel all the US combat troops into the Iran meat grinder he wants, and gin up other wars (Cuba) and controversies to his diseased, blackened heart's content, but it will never make the dilemma of his 'Epstein Files' pedophilia problem go away.  Never.

Oh - and now would be a good time for a reminder that it has now been 104 days that Drumpf and his DOJ led by Pam 'Scam Blondi' Bondi have been in direct violation of the 'Epstein Files Transparency Act', the LAW that mandated they release ALL of the 'Epstein Files' documents in their unredacted entirety to the Congress and the American people by December 19, 2025.  They have only released around half of the 7 million or so documents in their possession to date, and of the ones they have released, those have been heavily redacted.  

What are they hiding and more importantly, who are they protecting?

It Makes Complete Sense That 'Losers' Prefer the Company of Their Own Kind

Some of Drumpf's most rabid defenders are laughably attempting to dismiss Drumpf's open admission that he likes to suround himself with 'losers' as just him joking around with the audience:

 

"President Donald Trump made a wildly condescending admission about the sort of people he likes to surround himself with during an event in Miami shortly after the signing of his executive order to move money around to pay Transportation Security Administration officials in the absence of a congressional deal to reopen the Department of Homeland Security.

"I hang out with losers because it makes be feel better," said Trump. "I hate guys that are very, very successful and you have to listen to their success stories. I like people that like to listen to my success.""

  

Link:   Trump stuns with admission he surrounds himself with 'losers': 'That explains the Cabinet' - Raw Story

 

Drumpf doesn't joke about stuff like that.  He was asked a serious question about what is "missing in leadership" and he wasted no time in answering that question by stating his preference for having 'losers' around him.  For once DonOld was stating the absolute truth about himself.

I have talked about this in many a previous post about why Drumpf chooses the people he does for high level positions in his administration and circle of "advisers."

He chooses people like Pete Hegseth and Pam Bondi and Kash Patel and Howard Lutnick and others because they are shitty, compromised, and cravenly obsequious people, the kind of people Drumpf finds easy to manipulate in to doing his bidding.

Drumpf is no more complicated a creature than that.

So yeah - DonOld loves to have 'losers' in his orbit not only because they remind him of himself and worship the ground he waddles on, but also because he knows how easy it is to manipulate them and compel them to perform his dirty work and take the fall for him when shit goes sideways (Iran).

Saudi Boots on The Ground in Iran Alongside American Boots? Yeah, Sure Jan...

This is who Drumpf is "consulting" with and who he is taking advice from re: US involvement in Bibi Netanyahu's Big Iran Armageddon Adventure:

 

Link:  Saudi Arabia urging US to ramp up Iran attacks, intelligence source confirms | US-Israel war on Iran | The Guardian

 

"Saudi Arabia has urged the US to ramp up attacks on Iran, a Saudi intelligence source has confirmed, while it is weighing a decision on whether to join the fight directly.

The Saudi source confirmed reporting in the New York Times that said the kingdom’s de facto leader, Crown Prince Mohammed bin Salman, has urged Donald Trump not to cut short his war against Iran, and that the US-Israeli campaign represented a “historic opportunity” to remake the Middle East.

The intelligence source said Riyadh was not just calling for the military campaign to be continued, but to be intensified. Trump appeared to confirm the report about the crown prince’s role, telling journalists on Tuesday: “Yeah, he’s a warrior. He’s fighting with us.”"

 

"He's fighting with us."

Really DonOld?  Is that so?  The bone-saw murdering Saudi oil sheik you call friend is fighting with "us?"

Just curious, DonOld... exactly how many troops have the Saudis committed to be used as cannon fodder when the decision comes to put actual boots on Iranian soil?  I bet it's zero.

That Drumpf is canoodling with and taking direction from the thoroughly corrupt Saudi oil regime in regard to his Iran war is not surprising.

Drumpf has been a corrupt tool of the Mid-East oil sheiks for a long, long time.  And if you haven't already figured it out, the two countries that stand to gain the most financially from an extended US/Iran conflict are his cherished "business" partners, Russia and Saudi Arabia.

Ask the simple question - would Drumpf sacrifice American soldiers to enrich himself and his "business" partners.  Of course he would, and without thinking twice about it.  Because that is the kind of betrayal that is right in Dirty DonOld's wheelhouse.

Dirty DonOld and the Art of the Treason Deal

Wait?  He did what now?

JfC.  Jack Smith had the sonofabitch dead to rights with his indictments, didn't he?:

 

Link:  Trump showed classified map to passengers on his plane in 2022, memo says

 

"President Donald Trump showed a classified map he retained from his first term in office to passengers on a 2022 private plane flight and retained another record so sensitive that only six high-ranking government officials had access to it, according to a prosecution memo released to Congress this week.

The Justice Department shared those findings, detailed in a January 2023 briefing document written by then-special counsel Jack Smith’s team, with lawmakers as they conduct a review of Smith’s now-abandoned efforts to prosecute Trump.

The memo, which was obtained by the Washington Post, was penned as investigators moved toward indicting Trump on charges of illegally retaining sensitive government material after he left the White House. It offers a snapshot of an early moment in Smith’s investigation and adds new shading to the public understanding of Smith’s probes, even as a final report on his findings remains under court seal.

The memo, for instance, reveals that Smith’s team gathered at least some evidence to suggest that Trump had retained classified material pertinent to his personal business interests and that prosecutors were investigating whether his decision to hold on to those records was motivated by financial gain."

  

Uh huh.  Just like every other egregious Drumpf transgression, it goes without saying that if Hillary Clinton or Obama, or Biden, or Harris had done this, the MAGAs would have been frothing at the mouth bellowing for their impeachments and prosecutions.

Jack Smith's findings that Drumpf endangered national security, and probably for personal financial gain, nicely bookends the recently departed Robert Mueller's 2019 findings that Drumpf's 2016 election campaign knowingly accepted help from Russia, AND that Drumpf himself had committed multiple acts (ten I believe) of felony obstruction of justice in trying to cover it up and evade accountability.

Drumpf quite simply is a crook and a back stabber and has been so his entire adult life.  The guy's lifelong con artistry isn't secret.  Christ, there's tons of evidence in the public domain that he has been tainted by the mob and foreign interests for decades.

I have no doubt Dirty DonOld intended to sell whatever classified materials that he had illegally removed from the White House to the highest bidder because that's just the type of traitorous dirtbag he is.  

Either that, and more likely, he was going to used those classified documents as bargaining chips, perhaps as a payment for services rendered to someone who had the capability to arrange the untimely demise of a certain individual who was eyewitness to many acts of pedophilia committed by many VIP people, very likely including DonOld and his "friends?"

The story has yet to be written that plumbs the true depths of not only Drumpf's betrayal of this country, but also his role in the 'Epstein Files' horror, and what it all means for the American people if the dirty old mobster isn't removed from office.
