Faithful readers know that we are not exaggerating about the racist, sexist, trans-hating holy war! We learned last week that Hegseth had blocked promotions of two Black men and two women, and he and Army Secretary Daniel P. Driscoll — who is also somehow simultaneously (acting) director of the Bureau of Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives? — argued about it.
...
And winning wars takes logic, and logistics. But that has all taken a backseat to the dogma of Hegseth’s evangelical Christian sect, Christ Church, which advocates for Holy War to install a patriarchal belief system. The church doesn’t believe in the separation of church and state (for itself and TheoBros only, natch), supports taking away the right to vote from most women, barring non-Christians from holding office, and the death penalty for the LGBTQ+ community and apostates.

Would you be surprised to learn the college Christ Church founded in Moscow, Idaho, was also accused of covering up serial sexual assaults of “very young boys and girls carried out over several years,” with church leadership failing to notify families for months about the accusations while the perp still hung around their young children?
...
An associate pastor at Hegseth’s church on its goals within the current regime:

“… there’s a bunch that they’ve just absolutely fumbled and are totally blowing. […] We’re gonna come for feminism. We’re going to go after sodomy. Those are the sins in [Washington DC]. Those are sins that are acceptable among both parties. [...] We want to plant that flag and say the Bible has something to say about this.”
