It’s time for a new Iran War thread.
I just read that the Sec of Navy may have been fired because he didn’t agree with silencing the great American, Sen Mark Kelly:
“BREAKING: Fox News just reported that Pete Hegseth fired United States Secretary of the Navy John Phelan because Phelan would not ignore a federal judge's orders!’Hegseth and Phelan reportedly butted heads when Phelan refused to ignore a recent federal judge’s ruling that said punishing Senator Mark Kelly for making a video which he reminded military officers of their constitutional duty to not to not follow illegal orders would violate his First Amendment rights.’”
Thanks, Larry!

Hegseth got this job by being a weekend anchor at Fox News who adulated Trump during his time there!
Pirro is the 23rd current or former Fox News employee Trump has recruited for his administration since taking office earlier this year. However, his relationship with the network runs far deeper and longer than just this year nominees.
