Hegseth Rejects Claims About Conditions on USS Lincoln

Did anyone else notice the only color in Whiskey Pete's Tennessee mansion besides white was the red chairs on the balcony?

Symbolism.

When you go outside of your bubble home Pete, you get to sit in chairs that are "blood red"

The color of the soldiers blood

You are sacrificing

The White House had a "remarkable" response to President Donald Trump's response to sailors suffering on the USS Abraham Lincoln.

Sailors aboard the USS Abraham Lincoln have been suffering from an ongoing nine-month deployment, which has led to a lack of food and depleted morale. Six sailors are reported to have attempted suicide, and others have jumped ship. Family members of the deployed sailors have attested to the poor conditions, with one slamming Trump.

When Trump was asked whether the deployment of the aircraft carrier had gone on too long, he responded, "No, no, no, not nearly long enough."

On Friday, CNN White House correspondent Kevin Liptak said White House staff offered no clarification on the comments.

"When I went to the White House today to ask if they had any context or wanted to clarify any of the president's comments, they said that they were just going to point back to what the president said, which is really kind of remarkable," Liptak said. "When you talk to people in the military, there is a degree of stunned when you hear what the president said."

Liptak noted Trump's reaction to the question. He seemed "visibly irritated" about being asked about the USS Abraham Lincoln. "He kind of snapped after that first answer," Liptak said. "He sort of abruptly turned and walked away, which is not his norm when he's speaking on the tarmac."

Apparently, it will be another 6 weeks (more, if they go via the Cape) before the sailors arrive back in the US.

This would never happen in the Russian army.

How about the Chinese Army?

I wouldn't expect anything different from Pete. While he is feasting a lobster tails with his buddies at the government expense the soldiers are having to deal with rations and great hardship. This is quite typical of the way that the US government treats the military with a great deal of disregard. All the chest thumping in the world cannot hide the way he treats the military.

A new analysis published by government watchdog Open the Books found that in September — the end of the 2025 fiscal year — Hegseth reportedly burned through cash, including spending $9 million on crab and lobster dinners.

The spending review found that in the month of September alone, the Defense Department spent $6.9 million in total on lobster tail and $2 million on Alaskan king crab, according to the government watchdog. In 2025, the department also spent more than $7.4 million on lobster tail across the months of March, May, June and October.

A reminder:

1. Cheap mail order Bangkok suit

2. Disrespectful use of the flag as suit lining to soak up sweat. Likely Chinese made polyester.

3. Tremendous risk popping a pen in there, with part white liner. This is reckless.

4. Full image reveals the shonky stitching familiar to any who have tried a Suits by Ravi from Phuket, Pattaya or Samui.

5. He has more than one of these comedy suits.

Home port is San Diego. So they'll go through Strait of Malacca
