I wonder how many scaramucci’s Hegseth’s term will be, or if it will even reach a Friedman Unit:
The White House has begun the process of looking for a new leader at the Pentagon to replace Pete Hegseth, according to a U.S. official who was not authorized to speak publicly. This comes as Hegseth is again mired in controversy over sharing military operational details in a group chat.
The defense secretary is under fire after revelations that he shared classified information in a group chat with his wife, brother and lawyer, according to the official.
It’s hard to imagine they will find someone worse, but they can and probably will. Maybe Eddie Gallagher.
I should note that reliable sources have informed me Hegseth is going nowhere this is just a purge of staffers who do not agree with Pete, hence the smearing and return leaking about leaks.
Meanwhile, Mississippi is leaning into the new confederacy with… a celebration of the old confederacy:
Mississippi Gov. Tate Reeves has declared April 2025 as Confederate Heritage Month in Mississippi, keeping alive a 32-year-old tradition that began in 1993.
A member of the Rankin Greys, a Sons of Confederate Veterans camp based in Florence, Mississippi, announced the proclamation in a post in the organization’s Facebook group on April 18.
A reminder that the confederacy lasted only five years or so. May the new one last four or under.
This made me laugh out loud:
Solid.
There was something else I was going to talk about but in the background Joelle is watching American Idol while on the phone with her friend Buzz (who is basically her Tammy, if that makes sense- they’ve been thick as thieves for thirty years.) and this woman belted out the most excellent rendition of I’m Every Woman” and I kinda forgot what I was thinking about. Which is pretty clearly a solid sign it was not going to cure cancer or end world hunger. At any rate, she just got home at six, we had dinner, and now she is just relaxing and since she hasn’t had a moment to herself all day, I have fucked off in here to give her some space to get right in the head and chat you all up.
At any rate, tomorrow is another day. Soldier on.
