Anonymous defense officials, according to the regime media, were up in arms because Secretary of Defense Pete Hegseth took my friend Jack Posobiec – a former Navy intelligence officer targeted by the Deep State while he was still in uniform – along with him on an overseas trip. Jack is an America First patriot and a very popular conservative media voice, so naturally, the bureaucratic functionaries within the Department of Defense were up in (spindly, girlish) arms about it. Of course, none of them dared to share their mean girl gossip publicly, nor did they explain why we should care about the opinions of people who have failed to unequivocally win a major war in the last 30 years. What is important about this incident? It is that Pete Hegseth gave them all the credit that their oral slam book scribblings deserve.

None.

Zero.

Zilch.

What would’ve once been a minor scandal that dominated the communist cable networks and social media passed like flatulence in a hurricane. Part of the reason is that there are so many other things going on, from uppity United States attorneys getting fired to DOGE detecting billions in communist perversion spending to JD Vance outraging the euroweenies and their fellow travelers by standing up for free speech. The regime media really can’t keep up with the tsunami of stuff, so this Jackgate popped up and then just went away. But this minor incident Is emblematic of something bigger.

We have totally stopped caring what they think.

That is, the establishment – of which the Deep State is a key component – just doesn’t matter anymore. We don’t give it........
