Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth (has a very nice ring to it) arrived at the Pentagon Monday morning for the first time and dropped an exceptional speech.

WATCH:
🚨 JUST IN: Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth has arrived at the Pentagon for the first time
And he’s laid out EXACTLY how the Trump Pentagon will operate:
“Every moment that I'm here, I'm thinking about the guys and gals in Guam, in Germany, Fort Benning, and Fort Bragg, on… pic.twitter.com/shT0WMChWS

His post continues:
… on missile defense sites and aircraft carriers. Our job is lethality and readiness and warfighting.
NO more focus on DEI and wokeism!
This is the way it should be.
And the fact he used the name “Fort Bragg” tells [everyone] the Pentagon is in great hands.
But wait, there’s MORE!
🚨DoD SHIFT: Hegseth makes clear that the US military will be involved in border security operations:
"Whatever is needed at the border will be provided."
"This is a shift. This is not the way business has been done in the past."
"The Defense Department will support the… pic.twitter.com/8E2WpBFyXj

His post continues:
… defense of the territorial integrity of the United States of America.
Imagine: A military that defends its nation’s borders and protects its sovereignty.
What a concept.
Hooah!
Full disclosure, we knew there would be a whole lot of argling, bargling, and raring going on from our opponents on the Left before even looking. They really are predictable, fussy, sad, disgusting things as they are.

Who can smell name changes coming?
Because there is no such thing as Fort Liberty, is the answer why.
Already drunk on the job?

You fools. Military installations were named after Confederate Generals as part of an initiative to honor the Southern perspective even after their defeat. The idea was to help the nation come together and heal. What is your woke crap designed to do?
The move also helped to downplay slavery as a factor for the Civil War and to help ease racial tensions in the post-Reconstruction era.
Sec of Defense Pete Hegseth grew up in Minnesota—a state that proudly fought for the Union—but he's clinging to "Fort Bragg" like it’s a family heirloom. Minnesotans fought for liberty at Gettysburg, not Confederate nostalgia. Maybe he was drunk during history class that day? pic.twitter.com/h7lqvJWOMj

Someone really should get this foolish female a mirror.
Hell, get her TWO mirrors so she can see the back of her head.
It’s going to be a loooooong four years for our opponents on the Left.
We’re off to a fantastic start!
