Pete Hegseth says he was disavowed by his unit after January 6, when his superiors began considering him a potential threat over his tattoos.

Trump team preparing to drain Pentagon swamp — Reuters
President-elect Trump’s transition team is reportedly preparing to boot several top Pentagon officials, including members of the Joint Chiefs of Staff, in what promises to be an explosive overhaul of US military leadership.
Planning is still in the early stages, but Reuters reports it’s likely going to be everyone associated with retired General Mark Milley, who called Trump a "fascist to the core," and his successor, Charles Q. Brown.

Elon and Vivek are tasked with slashing billions in government spending in the upcoming Trump admin
Here are some of the gravy trains the federal government funded that could be cut:
▪️The feds handed over$1.3 billion to dead people last year. A small glitch, really - just nobody cross-checked between agencies paying out the Treasury
▪️In 2021, the NIH gave not just any but a Russian lab as much as $549K to test whether lobotomized cats could run on a treadmill
▪️The agency also spent millions on primate research, including $33 million to a firm housing 3,000 research monkeys, $3.7 million on a monkey gambling study, and $477,000 on research involving hormone-injected monkeys
▪️American taxpayers paid $4 million for Joe and Hunter Biden's trip to Ireland, including $1.2 million for a lavish sound system and light show and $760,000 to rent an entire hotel in Dublin
▪️The State Department forked out just over $20K for 12 drag shows and a 12-minute documentary in Ecuador
▪️The National Endowment for the Humanities dumped nearly $350,000 into studying such urgent topics as 14th-century Muslim-Chinese encounters, the history of liver disease in Egypt, as well as the nature of imprisonment in 16th-century England

US Congresswoman Lauren Boebert taunts Pentagon officials with ‘flat earth’ remark at UFO hearing
The Colorado representative sparked controversy at a House Oversight Committee hearing on unidentified anomalous phenomena (UAPs) by declaring that the Earth is flat, among other controversial talking points.
"May as well just go all out and say it. The Earth is flat, birds are government drones, and we've never set foot on the moon, and Joe Biden received 81 million votes in the 2020 election," Boebert said.

Astonishing 800 million adults have diabetes globally — Study
Lancet, the medical journal, estimates that around 800 million adults worldwide have diabetes, almost twice as many as previously estimated.
The dramatic increase in numbers was driven by the rising cases in low- and middle-income countries.
The study suggests that more than half of people over the age of 30 are not receiving the necessary treatment, as in sub-Saharan Africa, only 5-10% of those estimated to have diabetes were getting treatment.

The agent, identified only as "Dale," was fired after his ex-girlfriend revealed he took her to the Obama family's Hawaii estate for a steamy bathroom rendezvous, likening it to a "mile-high club" experience.
The agent, who also leaked confidential details about the Obama's schedule, apparently thought the president's beach house was the perfect spot for a romantic getaway.
"As soon as the Secret Service became aware of the incident, the agent involved was immediately suspended and, after a full investigation, terminated," a spokesperson confirmed.
