Respectfully, Gen. McCaffrey

As long as RantWoman is sinking a ton of time into the matters related to the incoming administration, why should readers of this blog miss the opportunity to share in some of RantWoman's opinions?

#Petehegseth #SecDef

Merely being a Princeton grad does not make one qualified to be #SecDef. I for instance am also a Princeton grad and not even interested in being Secretary of Defense. THANK YOU for calling out the President Elect's bent toward military action. No one asked questions about times when the point is NOT to use military force. I am troubled also by repeated comments about using the military INSIDE the US as well. Why should Joni Ernst be the only point person about women in the military? Shouldn't EVERYONE on the Armed Services committee be concerned about Mr. Hegseth's attitudes and behavior toward women? IN PARTICULAR, concern about attitudes toward women needs to last longer than any one Senator's concerns about re-election. I did not hear a single question about Christian Nationalism. To me there are concerns about separation of church and state. Also the Department of Defense is supposed to serve everyone in the US, not just Christians or in particular Christians with drinking problems. I am very troubled that so far there are no reports of the FBI even talking to women who have raised concerns about Hegseth's past behavior. Honestly, if the FBI will just try to sweep everything under the rug LIKE THEY DID WITH JUSTICE KAVANAGH, who is willing to go for Congressional subpoenas? I absolutely do not consider repeated mumblings about "anonymous smear campaigns" appropriately responsive to legitimate questions. Even if the President Elect is an adjudicated rapist and unabashed sexual predator, WE DO NOT NEED MORE RAPISTS in high office.

I am very interested in knowing more about the WHO of any team Mr. Hegseth proposes to assemble.

No one is well-served by ramming this nomination through. If the Senate needs to move on to other nominees and come back to Mr. Hegseth, that is what should happen.







WHY should Joni Ernst be the only person concerned about sexual assault in the military. #GOP MEN should have the balls / spine/ choose your body part to stand up for all the women in their lives. We do NOT need more rapists or lifelong financial fraudsters in high office. As for Jesus, the lefty commentariat goes all "who, what, Christo fascism?" the minute anything religious comes up. HOWEVER, I think it's more important to speak of separation of church and state an of the point that the DoD serves everyone in the US regardless of how they do or don't pray.
