I enjoy watching on . My favorite contestant won this season's competition.

Here are tough but fair comments that Survivor's host could say to the bloodthirsty Secretary of Defense Pete Hegseth.

2025-12-18

Rep. Don Beyer: "The lives of American soldiers should not be risked in an illegal war with for regime change, or for oil, or on any other pretext."

Secretary of Defense Pete Hegseth said about the second strike in the Caribbean: "Of course we're not going to release a top secret, full unedited video of that to the general public."

Joyce Vance wrote: "Translation: We know what we did was wrong."

More than wrong: experts said it was either a war crime or murder. If our government killed them during a war, it is a war crime. If this was not part of a war, it is murder.

Secretary of Defense Pete Hegseth: "With Jesus Christ as our guide. May he grant us the wisdom to see what is right."

John Harwood: "It would be great if God would grant Pete Hegseth some wisdom, but there's no sign he ever has."

Rep. Ted Lieu: "(Secretary of Defense Pete) Hegseth lied after leaking classified information on Signal. He also lied after the second boat strike. He is unfit to serve. Hegseth must resign."

"Since Pres. Donald Trump’s administration launched high-intensity immigration sweeps this year, federal agents have routinely countered protestors using crowd control weapons — rubber bullets, flash-bang grenades, tear gas and pepper balls. They’ve fired on American citizens and noncitizens alike in ways that some experts say might be criminal": propublica.org/article/ice-bor

Ron Filipkowski: "Basically Trump’s defense on the double strike boat murder
is that it didn’t happen, but if it did it was all Hegseth."

James Bond was said to have a license to kill, but Trump has a license to kill in real life. Checks and balances limited a president's power years ago, but Republican politicians in both houses of Congress almost always do what Trump tells them to do.

2025-10-25

Rep. Daniel Goldman: "Nobody is suggesting that ICE agents should be arrested for properly doing their job. But when they arrest US citizens without a warrant or probable cause, they are not doing their job. And when they use excessive force while falsely arresting US citizens, that is assault."

Brittany Belle:
"Demolish East Wing: $300 million.
Bail out Argentina: $40 billion.
Accept Qatar plane: $400 million.
Sue your own DOJ: $230 million.
History remembering Trump as the worst, most corrupt POTUS ever: Priceless."

Sen. Adam Schiff: "Another day. Another presidential threat to jail two of his political opponents. What will it take for Republicans in Congress to speak out? While we still have a democracy left."

2025-10-08

"Americans don’t want Trump’s federal troop crackdown. He’s barreling forward anyway":

"The public is now broadly opposed."

"A Novice Defense Secretary Lectures the Brass on What It Takes to Win. Senior officers, summoned from around the world, are entrusted to manage complex military operations. They got a lecture on fitness and grooming standards":

2025-09-29

Jesse Lee: "While Americans struggle to feed their families and keep the lights on, and Trump just signed billionaire tax cuts adding $4 trillion to the debt."

2025-09-29

"Sen. Tammy Duckworth sent an inquiry to the Pentagon about costs of Tuesday’s Generals meeting including price, whether a virtual format was considered, and what protection measures and contingency plans are being implemented.

A quotation from Adlai Stevenson

Though progress may be slow, it may be steady and sure. A wise man does not try to hurry history. Many wars have been avoided by patience and many have been precipitated by reckless haste.

Adlai Stevenson (1900-1965) American diplomat, statesman
Speech (1952-09-09), “World Policy,” Veterans Memorial Auditorium, San Francisco, California
