Pete Hegseth, Secretary of Defense

The DUI hire got hammered and decided he might do one of the the things you never do... Rename a ship.

Why? Because gay.


U.S. May Strip Harvey Milk’s Name From Navy Vessel

Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth ordered a review of ship names honoring Mr. Milk, a gay rights pioneer, and other leaders. In Mr. Milk’s case, the move is intended as a rebuke of Pride Month.
Reports are that Hegseth wants to rename it the USS Jim Beam.
 
I agree that naming a ship "The USS Harvey Milk" seemed disingenious from the get go. A military vessel should be named after 1) either a former president or statesman or 2) a former general or military hero of distinction. Harvey Milk, as good of a human being as he was, was neither of those. It should never have been named that.

HOWEVER, the whole principal of it is what bothers me. This is Hegseth being a bigot, and re-naming a ship simply because it was named after a gay activist. Let's be clear and honest here- if the ship had been named the "USS Colin Powell" or the "USS Barak Obama" then Hegseth would have lobbied to change the vessel's name- for exactly the same reason.
 
A mother knows best.

“You are an abuser of women – that is the ugly truth and I have no respect for any man that belittles, lies, cheats, sleeps around, and uses women for his own power and ego,” Penelope Hegseth wrote in the email obtained by the New York Times.

“You are that man (and have been for years) and as your mother, it pains me and embarrasses me to say that, but it is the sad, sad truth,” she added, advising her son to “get some help and take an honest look at yourself”.
