A chapter in Hegseth’s book is literally titled “More Lethality, Less Lawyers.”

What does manipulating VAERS data have in common with allegations of extramarital tail-chasing?
The quality of evidence that 10 kids died from COVID vaccines with VAERS data or that CBER Steve Urkel is trolling for side pieces on the apps is equivalent.

I didn't think "Americanism" was a real word, so I googled it, and it turns out it was denounced as heresy by a 19th century pope
They're not hiding it, folks—straight up neo-Nazi advertising, from the font to the language to the 11 stars for the Confederacy. Then you have the DHS openly using white nationalist language of "remigrate", which means ethnic cleansing.
