He's one of those religious right kooks. Thinks the crusades were a good time.


And he's not still in the Guard. He got out after his tattoo prevented him from working at the 2020 nomination. He wrote about it in his book, although he said it was his cross tattoo, not the Deus Vult one which raised concerns.

“It was the strangest feeling, like my foundations had shifted — leaving me out of balance,” Hegseth wrote. The D.C. Guard “turned their back on me. The message was clear: you are not wanted here. So, I resigned. On Jan. 20, 2021, I drafted the letter. F*** Biden anyway.”


If one thing's clear about Hegseth, it's that Muslims better watch out.

In the 2020 social media post showing the close-up of his bicep, the one that Akers found and that made its way to the D.C. National Guard, Hegseth wrote that a book he had just published would make the meaning clear.

In the book, “American Crusade,” Hegseth ties his belief in an existential struggle over America’s “native” and “Judeo-Christian” culture to the Crusades, writing that Christians, along with their “Jewish friends and freedom-loving people everywhere,” must fight back against secularism, leftism, globalism and Muslim immigration.

“See you on the battlefield,” he writes in closing out the book. “Together, with God’s help, we will save America. Deus vult!”

I hear he has made substantial progress. Just needs one or two senators. The pressure is turning up on this whole out senators.



I don't think so. It looks like his meeting with Joni Ernst didn't go particularly well. And she's a combat veteran and surviver of sexual assault. It only takes three Republican senators to sink the nomination. I have a really hard time seeing how Hedgseth gets to 50.

Trump will be attending the Army Navy game on Saturday. If DeSantis is in the box with Trump, it is very over for Hedgseth.



No. this DEI woke stuff is dead. It is time for the republicans to support Trump or resign.

Yes MAGA is being complete aholes to Joni Ernst who served honorably in a long distinguished military career, wants the issue of sexual assault within the ranks taken seriously, supports women in combat, and is definitely looking askance at this clown.
