It didn't necessarily involve Hegseth himself, could have been any number of personas or agencies... from the Trump transition team, Trump himself, a Trump-friendly person in Congress. Working the system can involve many different players and power brokers. I don't know if Hegseth himself would have the means or leverage to prompt such a change.

I suspect that some late-night deal was made that changed her mind. There's an unspoken, but very old, principle in Washington that goes "Yes has no power." In other words, if an official first says "No" to a proposal, then people will deal and trade something of value to get to a "Yes." But if the official first says "Yes," then he/she has no bargaining power.

"Cuz we wuz KANGS back in Afika, an' you crackers done ruined all dat!"

You're right, it is hard to take such people as this seriously. He sounds a lot like Jordan Neely, the very guy talking trash in the subway that started this mess and necessitated Daniel Penny to step in.

"With WA billions in the hole..."

Interpretation: "With WA unable to control its profligate, excess spending habits..."

No new taxes, we need government reform, like one would cut off an alcoholic uncle who got hold of your credit card.

Ho hum, these "journalists" are getting tiresome. In Shakespeare's time it made sense that he wrote in a play, "First we must kill all the lawyers." Today he would be in favor of killing all the fake "journalists."

Good. I hope he also avoids any civil trials.

Ah well... that makes sense, although the inverted cross is also a Satanic symbol. OK, I guess I'll let that one slide.

A clear violation of their oaths. Courts martial for all, and any of them aren't citizens, deport them after their prison sentences.

Upper-right photo, why is there an inverted cross behind the pope?

Came here to say that too. Any relic that old needs to be handled with gloves and a lot gentler than that baboon does.

Ah, I knew that an answer would be forthcoming from the great autistes here on GAW. Thanks.

Nice. What does the red tie that Trump usually wears signify? What is its semaphore meaning?

What the hell is a "lactation consultant"?

Came here to say pretty much the same thing. No great task was ever won in a day or a year. The American Revolution in full took 20 years (1763 to 1783) to resolve: https://www.loc.gov/classroom-materials/united-states-history-primary-source-timeline/american-revolution-1763-1783/

I could cite other great events but that one should suffice. I prefer to live in optimism. In the fullness of time, I trust that these issues will be sorted. Once Trump is in office, I fully expect to see great -- even revolutionary -- things happen.

Not bad at all! Nice woodworking techniques. Since you asked, some observations about the film itself. At the 1:00 to 1:17 you show a drilling (or milling?) operation that goes rather slowly, you might consider speeding that up like other places in the video. Also, the recurring logo between scenes is intrusive; consider dropping them except at the begging and the end.

Nice job.

Thanks, it does seem to be an interesting resource; however, I cannot find this particular graphic (above) at that website. This is something I would like to share, but I never send out anything that is not sourced or cited properly.

Not to nitpick, but what is the source for this data?

It could have been a homemade suppressor from parts at Home Depot. $20 max.

Well it doesn't taste like chicken... it is a unique taste that I can only say is iguana. Not terrible, a little chewy, but a source of protein in the jungle. Skewer the meat and cook it over a fire, or smoke it. I couldn't tell what kind of wine to pair it with, all we had was water.
