The titles of the same Sabrina Haake essay about Pete Hegseth have a different emphasis. RawStory’s title emphasized his lack of qualifications. On her substack, The Haake Take, the author focuses on his view about when it is permissible to use lethal force even if it might not be legal. Hegseth may not be the least qualified Trump…

I began to write today’s blog after reading this: I made this llustration using AI: You can read about how the panel on “Morning Joe” reacted to the leak here. This was supposedly leaked to NBC News. I wonder if John Barron “leaked” what Trump said. After all, Trump wants to rub the lib’s noses in the fact that…
