Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth berated NATO allies as “shameful” for their reluctance to assist in American strikes against Iran. He suggested that the Pentagon would reduce the number of troops it keeps in Europe as a result. Less than two months after Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth dropped the military’s flu vaccination requirement, an outbreak at a Texas base sickened nearly 160 troops.
The real shame is that Trump, Hegseth, and their enablers are war criminals and should be tried before an international tribunal for their crimes against humanity.
I would love to see that. They could mount a defense for their wanton attacks on nations and murder on the high seas and the International Court could render its judgment.
Steve, your commentaries are always the best thing I hear during my week! Thank you for being a true American patriot and helping carry us through this terrible time with a despicable "leader." You are an American treasure.
JD Vance has perfected the sneer he puts on his face whenever anyone challenges him. And the voice dripping with malice whenever he responds to them. I sincerely hope Trump, Vance, Miller, Vought, Hegseth and all the worst of them at the top have to spend time in prison and are cellmates, so they have to look at and talk to those just like themselves for years. It would be like being sentenced to look in the mirror for years. and I can only imagine how they would hate each other.
Plastered Petey, Raisin Cane, and the Orange POtuS all are war criminals. It is not just blowing up a school in Iran that killed 175 school girls but even the Pentagon now admits that some of the 200 boat people they killed in the Caribbean and Pacific were actually trafficked people!!!
I don’t know who was speaking but that gentleman deserves to be respected for his speech back at Hegseth.Hegseth is a disgrace.
I believe in Karma. I hope that those individuals that mistreat others come back as the very race they discriminated against. Come back poor, learn how others live.
Based on my observations: there will be a great deal of karma coming back and learning 🤣
One day soon every picture, every image, every portrait of Donald Trump, along with all his defilements of the White House and Washington, D.C. will be erased. He will be known as what is called in German an “Unding”: “something that is unheard of, unacceptable, and/or immoral.”
Once again, your essay brought tears to my eyes, from gratitude for the Tuskegee airmen and General Chappie James and from rage at this administration. They’re a 4th stage cancer.
Of course, the war criminal and drunken wife beater removed Gen. James, Junior's portrait. Hegseth is a pseudo-Christo Nationalist, a racist and a neo-Nazi. His philosophy and what he projects closely follows the ideology of George Lincoln Rockwell and David Duke. Hegseth is a card-carrying member of the American National Socialist Party, fascist scum disguised as a Republican. His body carries tattoos that Hitler and Mussolini would have approved of: “Deus Vult,” Latin for “God wills it,” a phrase that was the battle cry of the First Crusade (1095 A.D.) His skin is also inked with the Arabic word "kafir," a person who knowingly conceals or denies fundamental, divine truths, a clear sign of anti-Muslim hostility. It only follows that he hates black people, brown people, red people and yellow folks, and anyone who isn’t white and who doesn’t espouse and support racial and religious HATRED. Pete is a dyed-in-the-wool HATER. Congratulations MAGA, you have one of your own in a role that allows him to murder the innocent. Jesus would be pleased.
So, on this day, Juneteenth 2026, the annual holiday commemorating the end of slavery in the United States, we have a fascist and would-be dictator as chief executive in the White House and how many KKK in the U.S. Congress? I've lost count. Today marks the day in 1865 when enslaved African Americans in Galveston, Texas, finally received word that they were free—more than two years after the Emancipation Proclamation was signed. And now, in 2026, Texas Attorney General, Ken Paxton, is a GOP candidate for the U.S. Senate. This is a man who was impeached by the old guard Republican-controlled state House on multiple charges of abuse of office, a man whose senior staffers reported to the FBI, alleging he illegally used his position to help a prominent donor and whose wife, state Sen. Angela Paxton, filed for divorce last year on “biblical grounds,” citing adultery.
Nice going there, Texas! You’re looking more like Dovia di Predappio every day - Mussolini’s hometown in Northern Italy 1883.
We are up against a corrupt institution that was our government with all of its faults. Berating individuals isn’t enough the entire structure needs to go. (Right now ads are run in AZ for the MAGA candidate for Attorney General. They are calling on full federal mayhem.

If we win in November, can we turn him over to The Hague?

It is obvious they are racist. We cannot accept that in our country.

I want Hegseth gone! He's a disgrace.

It was Wajhat Ali from The Left Hook on Substack. Another great one to follow.
I believe it was Telerico
C. Born is correct.

Think you are the best…the blunt truth & intelligence - powerful, moving - thank you!

Steve, thank you for your good work. 👏👏👏👏👏
Terrible that he and others were removed
