Pete Hegseth just dropped a doctrine-changing, empire-shaking message that has the Military-Industrial Complex and their media mouthpieces in FULL MELTDOWN.
This is the most explicit, most decisive rejection of the last 30 years of bipartisan foreign-policy failure — delivered straight from the Secretary of War:
“Our department will not be distracted by democracy building, interventionism, undefined wars, regime change, climate change, woke moralizing, and feckless nation building.”
That one sentence alone just unplugged half of D.C.’s defense lobby from their IV drip of endless-war cash.
And then he delivered the hammer:
“We will instead put our nation's practical, concrete interests first.”
“We will deter war, we will advance our interests, we will defend our people.”
Then the line that sent the neocons and MSNBC producers into cardiac arrest:
“Peace is our goal. And in service of that objective, we will always be ready to fight and win decisively if called upon.”
No more:

Biden’s former Chief of Staff ADMITS he didn’t even write the autopen approval email for presidential pardons — his assistant did. And there was no clear chain of authorization from Biden himself.
This is stunning.
Under sworn questioning, Biden’s former Chief of Staff openly acknowledged that:
✔️ He didn’t type the approval.
✔️ His assistant, Rosa, wrote it.
✔️ She had full access to his email.
✔️ No one could tell which emails she wrote and which he wrote.
✔️ Instructions were passed verbally through multiple people — like a game of telephone.
Here are the killer quotes:
Did you write the email approving the autopen?
“I do not believe I did.”
Who wrote it?
“Rosa.”
Did Rosa have access to your email?
“Yes.”
Could anyone tell which emails were from you and which were from Rosa?
“Not that I know of.”
He admits the entire system worked like this:
“Rosa gave me a phone call… I assume Bruce and Ed walked back from the meeting… and told her to reach me.”...
