The AP is reporting that Trump is ordering more ships and personnel to the area offshore Iran. The personnel will include 7,000 sailors and 2,000 marines. The surface contingent will include USS Theodore Roosevelt, her escorts and amphibious support ships.

The political pundits say that Trump is on the ballot. Voters must also realize that ICE, concentration camps, data centers, corruption at DOJ and the FBI, the sorry state of the DOD, and health insurance are also on the ballot. Vote Blue!

Pundits are wondering why Trump is campaigning in solid red states instead of in states that are more competitive. I think his decision has nothing to do with strategy but everything to do with Trump's love of performing in front of friendly audiences. It's all about Trump.

Contrary to what Hegseth says what DOD really needs is not more testosterone, but fewer right wing radicals and someone sane and intelligent to lead the department.

As Hegserh's efforts to remake the U.S. armed forces, the armed forces will continue to weaken. Morale at all levels will continue to deteriorate. Recruitment will suffer. And, finally, all of us will be more vulnerable.

Trump's war on the rule of law continues with his efforts to silence criticism from federal judges. Without the rule of law, none of us are safe from malicious prosecution because we spoke out in ways that are clearly protected by the First Amendment.

The Jack Smith hearing tiday in the Senate is Exhibit #1 in the case for replacing conservative Republicans with people who actually have a functioning brain.

The idiot Hegseth is talking about reducing DOD staff. I suggest starting by getting rid of the clown in the office of the SecDef.

One of the take-aways from the Jack Smith hearing today is that conservative Republican senators are, as a group, not very smart. Moreover, these legislators have no respect for the rule of law. They do, however, excel at cheap, gutter level politics.

Trump's obsession with stopping Iran from developing nuclear weapons seems reasonable until we consider Trump's relationship with North Korea's Kim Jong Un, who is working on nuclear tipped missiles with a range that is a direct threat to the continental U.S.

Since the U.S. Constitution became operational in 1789, there have always been malcontents who oppose democracy. The problem today is that six of these malcontents are justices of the Supreme Court.

During a press briefing with Mayor Mamdani, Trump said he liked taking care of people. Yes, but the person he takes the best care of is himself, then his good-for-nothing sons, and then his billionaire friends.

The essence of "free market principles" today in America can be summarized as follows: the economy is rigged so that the rich get richer and the poor get poorer.

Trump blames his very low (29%) approval rating on bad press. His malignant narcissism won't allow him to reflect on his own performance. Besides being a congenital liar, he has demonstrated an inability to make rational decisions or cogent arguments to support his policies.

waheid.bsky.social @waheid.bsky.social · 20/09/2026

The longer Pete Hegseth remains in office the more weakened our armed forces will be. The man sees himself as a military expert, but as Trump's war on Iran shows, Hegseth operates at platoon level thinking, while what is needed is global, strategic, joint thinking, which is far beyond his ability.

Kudos to Anne Applebaum for her column "Empire of Grift" in the Oct. edition of The Atlantic. It's a must-read article for American voters who fear what Trump and his sycophants are doing to dismantle the USA government and the liberal policies that have sustained the country for 250 years.

Trump is threatening to close (permanently?) the Kennedy Center if he can't put his name on the building. Childish and narcissistic in the extreme. Make no mistake: he will deliberately and maliciously ruin this country if he thinks his will is being thwarted.

Trump's bromance with Putin, his abandonment of Ukraine, and his outright hostility to NATO are contrary to the best interests of the USA.

While the USN is struggling with logistical issues to offshore Iran from Diego Garcia, about 3,000 miles, interesting to note that during the 1982 Falklands War, the Royal Navy forces offshore Falklands were supplied mainly from the U.K., which was more than twice as far.

In the rush to prevent another 9/11, the Dept. of Homeland Security (DHS) was established. That was a mistake. The intent was to guard against terrorist attacks, during the Trump administration the DHS has changed the mission. Now we have ICE, concentration camps, and forced deportations.

On Aug. 31, 1910, Theodore Roosevelt gave his "New Nationalism" speech at Osawatomie, Kansas. The speech is notable for T.R.'s concern that commercial interests had too much power over gov't and wealthy people were forming an aristocracy. Both of these were-and are today-threats to our republic

waheid.bsky.social @waheid.bsky.social · 08/09/2026

The most formidable threat to the U.S. military today is SecDef Hegseth. The safety of our nation is at risk as long as this incompetent, insecure man remains in power. He shares with Trump a huge ego and a tendency to lie to cover up for self-inflicted mistakes.

waheid.bsky.social @waheid.bsky.social · 05/09/2026

NYT reports that approx 50 persons, military and civilian, were required by Hegseth to undergo polygraph ("lie detector") tests because of alleged leaks to journalists. This is outrageous and is yet another indication of the gross incompetence of Hegseth.

waheid.bsky.social @waheid.bsky.social · 04/09/2026

Regardless of what Trump and his understudy, Vance, are saying, the military-naval operations in and offshore Iran constitute a war. People (on both sides) are being killed and injured by munitions launched by the other side. By denying it's a war, they are trying to downplay Trump's War.

Mike Johnson claims that this is a very productive Congress. Actually, this Congress, under Johnson's leadership, spent numerous weeks on recess. Johnson is delusional.

The men who drafted the Constitution were vehemently opposed to governmental power. Therefore, the power given to the President in the Constitution was very limited. We need to remove Trump and ensure the next POTUS strictly adheres to the limits clearly set forth in the Constitution.

waheid.bsky.social @waheid.bsky.social · 31/08/2026

Washington Post and MS-Now report that senior military officers have warned that the continuing operations in Iran are having serious deleterious effects on the ability of the services to protect the homeland and their many world-wide responsibilities. Hegseth seems to be ignoring the warnings.

021

waheid.bsky.social @waheid.bsky.social · 29/08/2026

NYT has an article today about Hegseth's ongoing purge of military officers based on race, gender, or for whom they previously worked. Hegseth's efforts to create a more politically-friendly officer corps is chaotic, it is weakening our armed forces. His mismanagement on Iran shows his incompetence.

In light of the decision by SCOTUS to support Trump's efforts to suppress mail-in ballots, I urge impeaching all six conservative Republican politicians who are sitting justices.

If Trump & his goons interfere with the 2026 elections, it is the fault of Congressional Republicans for their failure to impeach the traitor, Donald Trump.

Can you imagine the right-wingers reaction if Obama or Biden would have had a pretty young woman hanging around the White House leaving strange notes for POTUS to discover? Some of them haven't forgotten Monica Lewinsky and that was three decades ago. Maybe Natalie should have a talk with Monica.

If the so-called commander-in-chief doesn't give a damn about the problems of the armed forces members that he sent to Iran, what makes anyone, of either party, think he gives a damn about them?

Military leadership requires taking care of the people who are subordinate in rank. Obviously, Hegseth, never learned to lead; he is only capable of commanding. He has misled POTUS and lied to the public. He is leaving a trail of destruction at the Pentagon that will take decades to repair.

Gallows humor: Some families of sailors deployed near Iran have commented that Trump bragged about destroying the Iranian Navy and now he's trying to destroy ours.

waheid.bsky.social @waheid.bsky.social · 17/08/2026

Hegseth recently bragged that he has run off the radical leftists from the DOD. The implication is that those who are left (mostly white males) are Trump-Hegseth loyalists. Now, consider the situation in Iran and try to convince things are better now.

waheid.bsky.social @waheid.bsky.social · 16/08/2026

If Hegseth's DOD can't solve the problem of getting food and mail to ships involved in a minor conflict (based on the number of ships and people involved) how are they going to handle the logistical problems of a major conflict? The short answer is that Hegseth will continue to fail.

Hegseth's Pentagon spent $98,329 on a grand piano, $12,540 on fruit basket stands, and $140,000 on doughnuts in a single month, part of a $93 billion year end spending spree. Military members can't have a shower or a decent meal. This is not acceptable.

The rule of law in the U.S.A. died when Trump was inaugurated last year. Many Americans don't appreciate it but the collapse of the rule of law is a threat to every one of us.

If the the career opportunities in the military for women are to be protected, then Hegseth needs to be replaced at the 5-sided building known as Fort Fumble. Besides his blatant misogyny, Hegseth is incompetent. Unable to lead, he commands. The damage he is causing cannot be easily repaired.

It's not too early for liberals to start looking for a leader for the 2028 election. Right now, the party is adrift and rudderless. The one person who I believe continues to exhibit leadership, and who has the credentials to support that claim, is Sen. Mark Kelly.

MS-NOW “Deadline Washington” reported about conditions aboard the carrier USS Abraham Lincoln. Because of gross incompetence in the Pentagon, living conditions aboard the carrier are deplorable. Food is scarce, toilets are not working probably, shortages of personal hygiene products continue.
