And idolizing outlaws in this country is nothing new. Think of Jesse James, Bonnie and Clyde, some of the old gangsters. They were killers and drew much sympathy. Hegseth is a tyrant in his own way, childish, like Stephen Miller, defiant, and rude. A mature man can get a job done without the BS side shows. In a very suave, calm and cool manner. History had many.
This is way late but sorry about the loss of your father and God bless him for his service.
Lately with this whirlwind of MAGA on MAGA attacks, I’m seeing a split in the MAGA movement itself. Those who rightfully supported the president’s decision in sending nukes to Iran, and those who oppose it. I saw some who I had lost faith in like Mark Levin and Ben Shapiro epically takedown Tucker Carlson which pleased me, even Trump. But then it ultimately turned into a who supports Trump more pissing contest.
Is it possible that this situation like with Rand Paul breaking ranks is enough to possibly split MAGA, sending the Tuckers, Bannons and Gabbards to some Bernie Sanders movement and traditionalists to take back over, possibly pull Trump in that direction? Or will Trump always side with the highest political bidder?
John: My question to you this week is a very personal one. My father died Thursday. He was 89 and lived a good, long, full life. Dad was an attorney, a lifelong conservative and philosophy major at SMU. Probably his favorite philosophical quote is from Heraclitus: “A man cannot step in the same river twice, because it is not the same river, and he is not the same man.” I know you recently lost your father as well. Do you care to share some wisdom or advice passed down from your father?
Hegseth is a craven joke who sidesteps questions directly asked of him and gives non-answers to congressional committees.
All to appease his boss. America deserves better than a 2-bit morning show host overseeing the Pentagon.

Thanks, Ed. Will answer your question on Friday.
John: My question to you this week is a very personal one. My father died Thursday. He was 89 and lived a good, long, full life.
