No one should shed a tear for Hasan. I certainly won’t. But if Hegseth thinks that this public display will somehow deter others from horrible acts of violence, he is mistaken. Terrorists seek attention above all. Publicizing Hasan’s death could incite other extremists to do equally egregious acts.

Farage announces he wants to deport huge numbers of people just like Trump. Remember that resulted in the deaths of Americans as well as migrants. And let’s ask Americans if their economic conditions improved as a result. They did not. Farage has no ideas except Trump’s.
