Over the past year, it became abundantly clear that Pete Hegseth is running a very political campaign to remove him as defense secretary of the United States.
Democrats and press hacktivists have orchestrated a evidently coordinated plan calling for the Army veteran to drop his post over the incident since the introduction of so-called” Signalgate” a large number of whom were initially opposed to Hegseth’s appointment. The rush of phony communist anger amplified by America’s corporate media has been nothing short of remarkable, from the profanity-laden statement issued by Illinois ‘ young legislator to the unhinged op-ed written by man-child David French.
For one, Hegseth wasn’t the person who invited press savant Jeffrey Goldberg to the president’s Signal conversation. The defence minister was successful in carrying out the government’s mandated strikes on Houthi extremists in Yemen.
But somehow, these dishonest D.C. talking heads want us to assume that Hegseth’s discourse of U.S. foreign policy issues and the moment stamps of when the bombs were going to fall without knowing Goldberg was in the conversation is a devastating incident deserving of losing his job around. ( It’s not ).

The more absurd feature of this desperate strategy is that many of the same communist and creation cronies demanding Hegseth’s resignation for “national security concerns” always gave a damn when it was necessary.
” National protection” did not feature prominently in the debate over Hegseth’s confirmation as defence minister. It was hardly ever, if ever, in the discussion.
Instead, Democrats and their media allies spent months laundring vile ( and unnamed ) accusations of wrongdoing to disparage Hegseth and undermine his nomination. The security secretary’s confirmation hearing before the Senate Armed Services Committee, whose communist members took turns all the way down to accuse him of being a prolific woman-abuser and alcoholic, was full of these methods.
Consider also the fact that the biggest Signalgate skeptics were unable to disclose their alleged “national safety concerns” when Lloyd Austin repeatedly stepped down as Biden’s defence secretary without disclosing important officials, when Hillary Clinton allegedly handled classified emails improperly, when Biden oversaw the death of 13 company members, when Biden authorized a Chinese spy bubble to fly across the country and over U.S. military installations before shooting it down, or when it was revealed that the Biden community had business ties to
Hegseth’s resignation is actually due to the fact that he is an outsider who poses a threat to the system they’ve spent decades protecting, not to mention that leftists and other establishment hacks have no business making up their fake national security concerns.
Hegseth is not a member of the military-industrial complex or the defense lobbyists who exert their influence throughout Washington, unlike so many of their fellow D.C. insiders. His only interests are warfighting and the troops, which has always been and always will be.
The armed forces now have a defense secretary who cares about the well-being of America’s service members and stands up for them for the first time in a long time. Look no further than Hegseth’s participation in physical training at the U.S. military installations that he visits to see that he genuinely values getting to know our soldiers and learning about the problems they’re dealing with.
That kind of sincere leadership can greatly help instill in enlisted and potential service members the conviction that their superiors will have their backs when it matters most. Which is probably why more people are enlisting than they have in more than a decade in branches like the Army.
Let’s let the embarrassingly fake outrage about Signalgate reign in the D.C. political class. At the end of the day, that’s all that really matters. Peter Hegseth is winning for America’s troops.
