Pete Hegseth Brutally Mocked After His ‘Mommy’ Makes Phone Calls To Senators On His Behalf

Though he attempts to present himself as an “alpha male,” Secretary of Defense nominee Pete Hegseth reportedly has his mother making phone calls to senators in a desperate attempt to save his fading chances of becoming the next Pentagon chief.

According to Mychael Schnell of The Hill, “Pete Hegseth told RSC [Republican Study Committee] members his mom has been making calls to senators on his behalf.”

Hegseth has been accused of abusing alcohol and allegedly raping a woman in 2017, both of which have some GOP senators suggesting that they may not be able to vote in favor of his confirmation. There are also whispers that the Trump team will soon demand that Hegseth withdraw his name from consideration.

Ironically, Hegseth’s mother, Penelope, suggested that her son was an “abuser of women” in 2018 as he was getting a divorce. She now claims he’s a “new person” who is “redeemed, forgiven, changed.”

The report that Hegseth’s mommy was trying to save his nomination led to a wave of mockery on social media, with one person noting, “Real men need their moms to call Senators for them.”

And then others joined the online fun.

Former Staffer: Some Republicans Already Consider Trump To Be A ‘Lame Duck’ President

A top staffer who briefly worked in the first Trump administration says there are more than a few Republicans in Congress who see Donald as little more than a “lame duck” president who can be challenged on many fronts because he’s weaker than he was during his first term.

Anthony Scaramucci explained that the abrupt withdrawal of Matt Gaetz’s nomination to be attorney general proves that some in the GOP will not bow down to Trump and let him run roughshod over them.

“Obviously, a lot of the things that [former] Rep. Gaetz did was disqualifying, but I think the tide has changed a little bit,” Scaramucci said during an appearance on CNN. “I think there’s been a shapeshift by the Republicans in the Senate. You know, they see Trump as a lame duck. They know there’s one more election that he can have lots of influence on, which is the congressional election in two years, and I think they are fortifying themselves to block some of the things that he’s done in the past, and so the Trump season, you know, this is ‘The Apprentice: White House Edition’ season two. I think the cast members up on Capitol Hill are ready for Donald Trump this time. I don’t think they were as prepared as they are now, and I think the messaging [to Gaetz] was, behind closed doors: ‘You’re not going to make it, don’t embarrass the president and withdraw.'”

Other nominees could face the same disgraceful end as Gaetz, Scaramucci predicted.

“Now, the other questions are, you know, about some of these other candidates,” Scaramucci said. “Well, Pete Hegseth ended up having to do the same thing, and I will predict if there’s more information about Pete that comes out, he’ll be No. 2 to go that way. But I think Pam Bondi, by the way, will do well. Pam Bondi says the things that Donald Trump likes to hear, but she won’t do the things that Donald Trump likes to do, and so I think that’s someone that respects the system, and I think she’ll get it. I think she’ll get through.”

Missing In Action Vance Ridiculed As A Flunky Who ‘Can’t Find Himself A Seat At The Cool Kids’ Table’

Has anyone seen Vice President-elect J.D. Vance recently? Come to think of it, has anyone seen him since Election Day nearly three weeks ago? He’s become as scarce as the infamous Waldo, and no one can find him.

Who has been making public appearances with Donald Trump in Vance’s place? Twitter CEO Elon Musk, which is weird because he hasn’t been elected to anything at all.

What in the hell is going on here? Well, it’s all part of Musk and Trump’s larger plans for who will wield power and influence in the second Trump administration, according to former Republican National Committee chair Michael Steele, who currently works as a host on MSNBC and writes in an opinion piece for the network, “America is witnessing what happens when a private citizen amasses power solely based on their proximity to the president of the United States.”

Musk’s rise comes at Vance’s expense, Steele continues.

“As for Trump’s actual incoming vice president, he just can’t find himself a seat at the cool kids’ table.”

If anyone needed visual proof that Musk is now working as Trump’s unofficial Veep, they wouldn’t have to look any further than a photo that made waves on social media almost a week ago.

“Last weekend, Trump shared a picture of his inner circle on his private plane enjoying McDonald’s,” Steele observes. “Trump was surrounded by Musk; his son Don Jr.; House Speaker Mike Johnson; and Robert F. Kennedy Jr. Not pictured: Vance.”

Also consider that Musk has been given one of the most powerful jobs in the incoming administration, one which will potentially allow him to recommend cutting billions of dollars in federal spending.

“The Tesla founder will oversee a wholly made-up ‘Department of Government Efficiency‘ alongside Vivek Ramaswamy. How dumb is that? They are creating an agency to get rid of other agencies.”

Vance, on the other hand, is stuck doing all the shit jobs for Trump, including trying to get his Senate colleagues to vote for Donald’s pathetic appointees, including former Rep. Matt Gaetz, who was supposed to be the next attorney general but had to withdraw his name from consideration as more evidence surfaced suggesting that he allegedly paid dozens of underage girls to sleep with him, which is the only way the Florida Republican can get any non-comatose woman to share an intimate encounter with him.

“Vance was given the thankless task of convincing Senate Republicans to confirm Trump’s menagerie of misfit MAGA sycophants to the Cabinet,” Steele wrote. “While Musk is sitting in on phone calls with Trump, Vance wasted his time trying to convince his fellow Republican senators to back Matt Gaetz, just a day before Gaetz withdrew his nomination for attorney general. That must be the worst assignment for a vice president since President Joe Biden charged Vice President Kamala Harris with solving the root causes of global migration.”

So what will become of VP Vance? Steele suggests that may well be up to Musk in the long run because it’s clear J.D. is not part of Trump’s inner circle.

“Vance is just along for the ride — if only he could get in the car.”

WATCH: Combat Vet Destroys Republican Over Use Of American Troops For Deportations

Iraq War veteran Paul Rieckhoff dismantled GOP strategist Scott Jennings Monday evening on CNN during a discussion of Donald Trump’s plan to use members of the U.S. armed forces to round up and deport immigrants.

“It is really a sacred and terrifying prospect for anyone who’s been in uniform,” Rieckhoff explained. “You can send me to Iraq but to send me across from American protesters and situations like we’ve seen across America is wrought with a tremendous burden you’re going to put on men and women in uniform.”

That led Jennings to respond that the military would not be used against U.S. citizens, only illegal immigrants. “Which I think most people would agree is a national emergency, is a national security emergency.”

Jennings also claimed that National Guard troops had been deployed before on American soil, which led Rieckhoff to correct him: “To wildfires.”

“To the border,” Jennings insisted.

“To wildfires,” Rieckhoff said once again.

“No, to the border,” Jennings again noted.

Smiling, Rieckhoff replied, “In small numbers.”

Later in the discussion, Jennings told Rieckhoff to stop talking.

“You got to make your speech. Let me —”

Rieckhoff would have none of it.

“Is it a debate with you or am I answering questions with the host? Because every time I come on you want to sidetrack to take me into your talking points.”

“By all means have at it, my friend. You’re the expert,” Jennings sneered.

Rieckhoff finally asked Jennings, “Have you served in uniform?”

“I have served as a United States citizen,” Jennings replied.

“Have you been to the border?” Jennings asked Riekhoff, to which he replied he had not.

“Oh! So you’re not a genius. Go on. By all means. Have at it.”

‘Efficiency’ Co-Chair Ramaswamy Hints Department Of Education Will Be ‘Deleted Outright’ By Trump

Failed venture capital hack and serial liar Vivkek Ramaswamy said Sunday that once Donald Trump is again in the White House, he will eliminate the U.S. Department of Education “outright” as part of a plan to slash federal spending, even when it helps Americans.

Ramaswamy, the co-chair of the Trump-created Department of Government Efficiency (DOGE) with Twitter CEO Elon Musk, made that remark to Fox host Maria Bartitomo.

“Elon and I aren’t in this for the credit,” Ramaswamy explained. “But I think we’re gonna build the consensus to make the kind of deep cuts that haven’t been made for most of our history.”

“President Trump has talked about the Department of Education,” Bartiromo noted. “For example, are you gonna be closing down departments?”

With a smile, Ramaswamy replied, “We expect mass would be deleted outright. We expect mass reductions in force in areas of the federal government that are bloated. We expect massive cuts among federal contractors and others who are overbilling the federal government, So yes, we expect all of the above and I think people will be surprised by, I think, how quickly we’re able to move with some of those changes given the legal backdrop.”

He added, “So this is a historic opportunity We’re not actually going to squander this, but I think part of the key is to move quickly to move effectively. I think that mass deregulation that I talked about earlier that gives us the industrial logic to then make cuts to that bureaucracy and moving quickly is our objective.”

While we’re at it, why not sell the White House and most of the monuments in the nation’s capital to the highest bidder, too? Hey, maybe we could even rename them for whoever forks over the most cash.

Just imagine it: The Walmart/Washington Monument. Or what about the Viagra Pentagon, where our Defense Department is hard 24/7 for any foe that might want to challenge America? Not including Russia, of course, because they already control Trump completely.

With people like Ramaswamy, Musk, and Trump running things, we truly are fucked. Make sure your passport is current and valid, because you may need it to escape the coming shithole USA sooner rather than later.
