He speaks nothing but the plain and simple truth, time after time after time, and it drives The Enemy into raging, frothy-mouthed frenzy. Predictable as the sunrise, sure, but it’s still just funny as all git-out.
Mere days into the job, Pete Hegseth has already impressed me as Secretary of Defense.
Under the Biden administration, wokeness was prioritized over military readiness, and Secretary of Defense Pete Hegseth’s remarks concerning Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion (DEI) signal a refreshing shift back to meritocracy, unity, and lethality in our military. During his appearance on “Jesse Watters Primetime,” he was asked about the changes being made in the Department of Defense.
“What’s happening with DEI?” asked Watters. “How’s that going at the Defense Department?”
Hegseth was unapologetic: “DEI is not going well at the Defense Department because it’s dead.”
Boom! After years of DEI initiatives weakening our military, the current administration has finally taken decisive action to shut it down, refocusing the armed forces on their core mission: strength, readiness, and defense.
Perhaps one of the most striking elements of Hegseth’s statement, however, was his sharp critique of a popular axiom.
“Jesse, one of the dumbest phrases in military history is ‘our diversity is our strength,’” Hegseth said. “Our diversity is not our strength. Our unity and our shared purpose is our strength.”
Hegseth’s declaration is not just a departure from recent policies; it’s a clarion call for soldiers to rally around their common mission: defending the United States. In an organization built on trust and teamwork, focusing on shared goals is undoubtedly more effective than exacerbating divisions based on identity.
Great job so far, Pete. Keep right on slapping those empty heads and making ‘em ring like Quasimodo’s bells. It’s a joy and a wonder to behold, and it’s time and well past time that somebody r’ared up on their hind legs and did it.
