Pete Hegseth spent the week staggering under two simultaneous scandals of his own making: the Inspector General’s report confirming he used an unsecured Signal chat to transmit classified operational details, and the AP-verified revelation that a U.S. drone strike in the Caribbean — conducted under his authority — killed two survivors who were no longer a threat. In any sane era, these would be criminal and disqualifying acts. Instead, in the Idiocracy era, drunk TV hosts turned Secretary of Defense accuse others of the illegalities.
All the while, the political class convulse over something far more mundane. Six Democratic veterans released a video reminding U.S. service members of their duty to refuse illegal orders, and Hegseth’s response was to brand them “seditious.” Every recruit is explicitly instructed that, whether it be your Sergeant or the President, authority does not magically sanctify criminal actions. Yet the White House and its media lackeys spent the last week pretending that this bedrock principle — the one that separates a lawful military operating in self defense from a gang of violent thugs — is some subversive doctrine.
Beneath this manufactured panic about “sedition” is America’s deepening desensitization to war and violence. Drone strikes off foreign coasts now flash across the news ticker with all the weight of a sports score. In better times, the Right held a reflexive suspicion of foreign entanglements; today that instinct has largely been anesthetized. And into that vacuum steps Hegseth, wrapping an increasingly casual appetite for bloodshed in Christian branding and calling it “Conservative.” Whatever he claims, nothing in that posture resembles true Christian discipleship.
Scripture could not be plainer: “The LORD trieth the righteous: but the wicked and him that loveth violence his soul hateth” (Psalm 11:5).
Without further ado, let’s dive into the stories shaping the week that was…
