Now I get it.

Sydney Sweeney is a native from here in Spokane

Reading that, I vaguely recall the local live-tv news mentioned her a while back. Otherwise, I would have no idea about her. I had to look it up because I see that American Eagles topic show up in the mainstream-media sources I follow and I don't get it.









You know why those weak, little guys like Donald J. Trump, as well as Spokane's controversial former mayor Jim West are drawn to Republicans?

It's in those guys you always hear whining about "left" and "left-wingers" and liberals

To those weak, little guys like Donald J. Trump, the term 'liberal' equals homosexual.

To those little guys, liberalism guys are homosexual

So, weak, little guys like Donald J. Trump need a cover story and they bitch about "the left" to cover up and deflect attention away from how Donald J. Trump has known all his life he is weak, little guy and he knows you know.

Not unlike how people pretend to be Jesus Christians of that superstition mythology. They're just bad people.

With support for a Confederate monument, Pete Hegseth’s culture war crusade intensifies

The secretary might claim to be “laser-focused” on fighting wars, but his record suggests he’s far more interested in fighting the culture wars.

Albert Pike was a Confederate leader who fought to protect slavery, and according to some critics, he even joined the Ku Klux Klan after the Civil War. When Black Lives Matter protests broke out in the nation’s capital in 2020, a statue honoring Pike was torn down and set on fire.

Five years later, the Trump administration, which has been quite eager in recent months to restore symbols related to Confederate forces that took up arms against the United States, announced that the statue celebrating Pike will be restored and reinstalled.

A day later, Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth made a related announcement. The Washington Post reported:

A Confederate memorial removed from Arlington National Cemetery in 2023 will be reinstalled, Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth announced Tuesday. The sculpture had been removed as part of a congressionally mandated effort to rid military bases and sites of Confederate names and images.

The beleaguered Pentagon chief described the Confederate memorial as “The Reconciliation Monument,” adding that this is part of some kind of ideological campaign. “Unlike the Left, we don’t believe in erasing American history — we honor it,” Hegseth said, apparently indifferent to the fact that he’s in a powerful position that’s supposed to serve everyone, including “the Left.”
