Today's Pentagon “press conference” was a shameful insult to the founders who established freedom of the press. The questions coming from right-wing lackeys might as well have been drafted by Hegseth himself. Perhaps they were.

Because, in my opinion, the greatest dilemma public colleges across the country face is that they NEVER receive enough state or federal funding. So they are forced to submit grant applications to the country’s philanthropic organizations to fit an ever-growing gap. THIS IS THE ENTIRE PROBLEM.

In his episode on “How to Prevent and Treat Colds and Flu”, he describes why he doesn’t typically get the annual shot while stating “the flu shot is completely ineffective at combatting any other forms of the flu virus”—that’s false as even in cases of mismatch, the vax protects against hosp/death.

If there was any doubt that the deployment of troops is to foment violence, not prevent it, this ploy from Trump should dispel that. Portland’s crime has been plummeting. But it’s also a city that won’t stand by quietly, and protests will likely turn violent. www.washingtonpost.com/politics/202...
