Manly man Pete Hegseth initiates a "No Fats or Fems" policy for audiences at his insanely pointless speeches.
Exclusive: The Pentagon is asking commanders to nominate troops to attend Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth’s “State of the Force” address this September, and says the servicemembers must meet waist-to-height requirements and exhibit “impeccable” grooming standards. https://on.wsj.com/3VwFKeF

If, almost halfway into his second term as president, Trump can blame what's happening now on the previous president, why can't that previous president (Biden) blame the president previous to him (Trump) for those very same things?

How not surprising that a president who acts like a petty mob boss is holding one of our nation’s treasured institutions hostage until we meet his conditions—that is, putting his stupid name on the building. I say we just put it in mothballs until he is gone.

Q: Would you ever encourage one of your clients to disparage a court in the manner the president has disparaged the Supreme Court?
BLANCHE: The real question is whether the president is allowed to be critical of another branch of government. The answer to that is absolutely.
