A parliamentary time capsules bill was recently passed by the House to commemorate the country’s 250th anniversary. Due to the country’s relatively few pressing issues, According to legend, the spacecraft may be buried on the Capitol’s western grass until July 4, 2276, the 500th anniversary of the great old US of America.  ,
According to New Jersey Democrat writer and speech of the act, the items will be decided by the House’s Speaker, the House Minority Leader, and the Senate’s Majority and Minority Leaders.  ,
She said in a press release that” they may include objects that represent significant policy or organisational goals of Congress, a message from this Congress to the potential Congress, and other objects that reflect our history at the time of its burial in 2026.”
Here’s something you can throw into your time capsules, Bonnie: “JAG-off” Day with the Armed Services Committee.
The confirmation hearing for Pete Hegseth, a nomination for Trump’s defense secretary, was full of stupid moments. However, Sen. Jack Reed’s JAG line of questioning perhaps had taken the show’s hat.  ,
The Modern Democratic Party’s” Soul”
As expected, the Rhode Island Democrat and his brother left-wingers on the commission turned the four-hour hear into a bloviating, grandstanding performance to try to undermine President-elect Trump’s pull for DOD chief. It failed. But the Democrats ‘ talking points, duly echoed by the friend advertising, declared that Hegseth, pledging to restore a “warrior society” at a DEI-riddled Department of Defense, is never qualified for the position. Committee Democrats criticized the nominee’s previous candidness about politics in the military, despite pumping out a long series of debunked scandalous allegations against him.  ,
In his opening remarks, Reed said,” The sum of your own works and alleged conduct would invalidate any service representative from holding any leadership position in the military, little less from being confirmed as the secretary of defense.”  ,
What got the agency’s top-ranking Democrat but verklempt about Hegseth’s choice of words. In part, it’s that the original Fox News host , in his book, American War: Our Fight to Stay Clean, wrote what countless Americans believe.
Hegseth wrote that “modern leftists who represent the soul of the current Democratic Party actually despise American fundamental principles.” It’s tough to disagree with that assessment after decades of critical race theory, “antiracism”, the 1619 Project, and other communist dogma training that the United States of America is a systemically racist country ruled by white supremacist rulers.  ,
The Men and Women Watching Understand
Reed also doesn’t care for Hegseth’s criticism of Judge Advocate General officers, the military’s lawyers.  ,
The senator addressed Hegseth during questioning before pausing, saying,” You have made statements to your platoon after being briefed by a JAG officer.” ” By the way, would you explain what a’ JAG-off’ is” ? ,
” I don’t think I need to, sir”, Hegseth said.  ,
” Why not”? Reed asked incredulously.  ,
” Because the men and women watching understand”, the nominee answered.  ,
JAG-off is a” crass term,” according to the Washington Post. It’s definitely an insult, a take on “jagoff”, generally an annoying dude who may or may not be an idiot. A jerk, according to Dictionary .com. Not surprisingly, plenty of service members, like civilians, aren’t keen on lawyers.  ,
” Well, perhaps some of my colleagues don’t understand”, Reed pushed.  ,
Hegseth broke it down for the grandstanding Democrat by calling himself a straight shooter in Army circles.  ,
A JAG officer would have to prioritize the needs of the warfighters. Their advancements, their medals in front of the backs of those who are making the tough calls on the front lines, he said.  ,
Jagoffs on Parade
Of course, there are many ripoffs both inside and outside the military. Congress is filled with jagoffs, more than a few in attendance at Tuesday’s confirmation hearing. Jagoffs are abound in corporate media outlets covering Congress. Democrats on the Armed Services Committee staged a jagoff show for the ages, led by a ranking member who has served in congress since C+C Music Factory was charting the Billboard charts and saying “everybody dance now.”  ,
The moment perfectly encapsulated what the Democrat Party is in 2025, a year before America’s 250th birthday: Out of touch, out of power, out of their heads. A bunch of jagoffs.  ,
Put that in the time capsule of the Congress and bury it.  ,
