This is a disgrace. Our fallen heroes deserve better than Pete Hegseth. RESIGN.
BREAKING: Guard reprimands Pete Hegseth and guests for talking and laughing at the Tomb of the Unknown Solider after a photo op. nbcnews.com/politics/trump-aโฆ

Get this asshole away from any kind of leadership position. Heโs no leader. @RepJeffries
WATCH โ @RepJeffries: โThereโs no indication members of Congress have been overwhelmed by any calls.โ
(This gaslighting seems to contradict what @axios @AndrewSolender have reported, and the million+ signatures on a petition for new leadership @MarkRuffalo helped circulate)

The Old Guard stands watch through freezing rain, sleet, and blistering heat to honor America's unidentified fallen. Pete Hegseth couldn't even manage five minutes of the same discipline and respect.
Normah Jean๐๐โ๐๐๐ต๐น retweeted
This is truly abhorrent. Pete Hegseth doesn't know how to conduct himself, even at The Tomb of the Unknown Soldier at Arlington National Cemetery.
His behavior is unbecoming of any visitor to the Tomb, let alone that which comes from a Secretary of Defense.

That's not completely accurate. Although the blight did affect Irish crops, the famine was caused by the British govt exporting all of Ireland's healthy crops to feed the English

Out of this failure emerged a great nation the United States of America a country whose official language might well have been Italian or German, had it not been for the mass migration of the Irish, who went on to gain control over the key levers of the American state.
Indeed, until the era of Barack Obama, it was practically an unwritten requirement for any U.S. president to be of Irish descent an "Irish-American."
I once wrote a tweet about this, noting that the failure of the potato crop was actually orchestrated by Britain, which contaminated Irish harvests to force the population to emigrate specifically to America, which was then under British influence. As the Irish people pushed for the creation of their own sovereign state, Britain sought to maintain its grip on its former colony by ensuring that America remained under its sway. To this day, a majority of the U.S. Senate and members of Congress are of Irish descent, helping to steer Americaโs political direction.

1838 the Poor Law Tax was introduced to Ireland.
In the mid 1840s there were a series of potato crop failures (due to disease and weather) that hit parts of Ireland as well as the rest of Europe (this had happened before) โ and Prime Minister Russell decided to massively increase the Irish Poor Tax and force areas of Ireland which were not dependent on the potato to support areas that were the Act of 1847 โ this was done under the slogan โIrish Property must pay for Irish Povertyโ.
Anyone with a basic understanding of economics could have predicted what happened next โ the Irish economy collapsed, crushed by the high taxes (all taxes are passed on โ anyone who thinks that only landowners are hit by a tax on landowners is a moron, there is no such thing as a โgood taxโ).

Food exports from Ireland to England during the famine years increased. British records show this and it has been noted by many historians.

They died in fields, lips stained green by eating grass. Humans cannot eat grass and live. Most animals cannot tolerate it. Cats eat it to throw up. Cows take several stomachs to digest it. England knew this was happening.

Little wonder the Irish over 150yrs later have little or no love for the English..
Children going to school in Galway 1930s, didn't even have a sock or shoe betreen them.
Never Forget.

In 1845, Irelandโs potato crop failed. Then again the next year, and the year after that.
One million people died. Another million fled.
And all the while, ships kept leaving Irish ports loaded with food.
History hits harder when itโs told right. Paladin ๐

CBS is reporting that Susie Wiles's old lobbying firm has made $186 million under the Trump administration. Tell me again how food stamps that help a single mother feed her child while she works a full time job are the problem.

So today we learned 91 Florida cops were on epsteinโs payroll. 91 police offers ignored a child kidnap & rape club for money. Think about that okay
In the wake of the Wainwright tragedy, Manitoba is sending specialized ICU nurses to Alberta to help care for injured service members.
I want to thank these nurses for volunteering to care for those who serve our country.
Our condolences to the family and friends of those four soldiers who lost their lives, and our best to those recovering.
The Russians have completely lost their f**king minds
Medinsky had barely left the negotiating room when he declared that every inch of Russian land would be reclaimed โ โone way or anotherโ.
The masks are off. The occupiers didn't even bother to put on a vaguely respectable face. They turned up in Abu Dhabi with their hatred, their vile behaviour and their fear of the Kremlin maniac.

A USF professor and nurse from Nigeria has been in ICE custody for 2 months. She no longer appears in the database but might be in Louisiana. She had a protection from removal order/no record. This is inhumane we must get these people out of detention.

He knows his Sargeant will still be on the job in two months. ๐
Seriously, though, he is a true patriot, and we thank him. And thank you for your service, too. ๐บ๐ธ
