Instead of talking about why we are at war, why we need to spend out hard-earned tax money to increase defense spending, we have clowns that run there mouth and say nothing.

We might have the most powerful military on earth but out civilian leadership could not fight there way out of a wet paper bag. It is really sad.

I just can’t handle Hegseth constantly referring to his ‘Department of War’, ‘war fighters’, etc. Adam Smith was refreshing but I couldn’t listen any more to the right wing hayseeds that followed.
