Let’s get right to the heart of the Pete Hegseth fake controversy. This isn’t about some Signal chat. This isn’t about some bullSchiff newfound interest in sensitive materials-handling that didn’t manifest until it became useful as a political weapon. This is about one thing: Taking down President Donald J. Trump. This is about wounding him, belittling him, humiliating him by taking the scalp of a marquee guy he appointed, and neutering him so he can’t reform the broken Pentagon. 

Hell no. 

They can only pull it off if Trump lets them. Their only power is the ability to whine, complain, and cry. But Donald Trump is not going to play that, and more importantly, we, the base, are not going to play it either. Pete Hegseth can be the hill the Democrats can die on right after they finish having margaritas with that wife-beating MS-13 scumbag. 

If you were reading The New York Times this weekend instead of getting right with Jesus, you probably saw that the stupid Signalgate nonsense had been resurrected as well. They tried it once, and now they are trying it again. It was lame the first time. It is to scandals as David French is to raw, smoldering sensuality. 

It’s no scandal; it’s a joke, a fraud, a scam, and a lie like everything else they push. This imbroglio is not about rules or regulations or military security. These guys don’t care about classified material. If they did, Hillary Clinton would be in Leavenworth, finally finding someone who loves her. 

This is about politics, and we need to respond politically. Our political response needs to be an extended middle finger.

Their onanistic festival of phony outrage is a weapon, a weapon designed to take out SecDef Pete Hegseth, but of course, Hegseth is not the target. As always, the guy in the crosshairs is President Donald J. Trump. Why? Desperation. They need this win. Trump has been winning and winning and winning, plus more winning, since he got inaugurated, and the Democrats, the regime media, and the Fredocons haven’t been able to lay a soft, girlish finger on him. They can only win if Donald Trump bends to their will. Of course, even if the president was inclined to be a sissy, it would just........
