    That's what it turned out to be. Grooming and warrior ethos.


    Trump says government shutdown likely as House Democrats call out Republicans for delaying votes before funding deadline – live | Trump administration | The Guardian

    excerpt:

    "He ordered officers to focus on physical appearance and fitness, attacking what he called the “tiring” sight of “fat troops” and “fat generals and admirals”. “It’s a bad look,” he said, adding that he was upping physical fitness testing to twice a year.

    He also said this was an end to the “era of unprofessional appearances” and announced that officers could no longer have beards.

    Hegseth vowed an end to diversity efforts and wanting to usher in a change to the “politically correct” culture of the military – which had made the DOD “the woke department” – and have a greater focus on “warrior ethos”. “We’re ending the war on warriors,” he said."

    Trump rails about using the military in cities to combat the 'enemy within'.


    https://www.npr.org/2025/09/30/nx-s1-5557232/hegseth-generals-trump

    excerpt:

    President Trump defended the use of U.S. troops in American cities and told top U.S. commanders that the military would be used against the "enemy within."

    "This is going to be a big thing for the people in this room, because it's the enemy from within, and we have to handle it before it gets out of control," Trump told those gathered for the highly unusual event at Quantico, Va. "It won't get out of control once you're involved at all."

    Trump says he's going to straighten out Democratic-led cities one by one.


    Trump Signals Greater Use of Military in U.S. Cities

    excerpt:

    “The ones that are run by the radical left Democrats, what they've done to San Francisco, Chicago, New York, Los Angeles, they're very unsafe places. And we're going to straighten them out one by one. And this is going to be a major part for some of the people in this room,” he said in a speech to military leaders. “That's a war too. It's a war from within.”

    https://www.politico.com/news/2025/09/30/judge-young-ruling-trump-deportation-free-speech-00588114

    excerpt:

    "A federal judge ruled Tuesday that the Trump administration’s effort to deport pro-Palestinian academics is a deliberate attack on free speech meant to “strike fear” into non-citizen students and chill campus protests.

    “The effect of these targeted deportation proceedings continues unconstitutionally to chill freedom of speech to this day,” U.S. District Judge William Young concluded, in a scathing, 161-page opinion that he described as the most crucial he’s delivered in his 30 years on the bench."

    Judge excoriates Trump.


    https://www.politico.com/news/2025/09/30/judge-young-ruling-trump-deportation-free-speech-00588114

    excerpt:

    Perhaps more remarkable than the blistering ruling is Young’s assessment of President Donald Trump himself, condemning him as a bully who “ignores everything,” engages in “hollow bragging” and uses his power and gifts of communication to strip away constitutional rights.

    “The President’s palpable misunderstanding that the government simply cannot seek retribution for speech he disdains poses a great threat to Americans’ freedom of speech,” Young wrote, describing the courts as the most crucial bulwark to this threat.

    No more beardos.


    Hegseth rails against 'woke,' lays out standards in speech to top generals

    excerpts:

    Hegseth called for "no more division, distraction or gender delusions" in an extraordinarily blunt speech on the importance of the "warrior ethos," a term he uses to describe the spirit that makes combat units effective.


    "No more beardos," he said. "The era of unacceptable appearance is over."

    Trump's rioters are supposedly great Americans patriots and the police who defended the Capitol are supposedly dirty cops.

    Now that Trump is back in the White House, he's prosecuting innocent people.

    The GOP for the most part has stayed quiet about it. They should be calling out Trump for these increasingly delustional statements and his abuse of power.

    Hegseth was a host on Fox. He would do the weekend version of Fox & Friends.

    Trump saw him on Fox and liked his anti-woke rhetoric. He made him in charge of the entire military, even though he was woefully unqualified.

    Hegseth called an in-person meeting of 800 generals and admirals to do an address that is a Saturday Night Live comedy performance.

    Trump is using the threat of primarying politicians out of existence if they don't agree to gerrymander ahead of the 2026 midterms.


    https://www.politico.com/news/2025/09/30/redistricting-republican-loyalty-test-trump-00584932

    excerpt:

    "President Donald Trump is ratcheting up pressure on Republicans to redraw congressional maps across the country, going as far as weighing a primary challenge to New Hampshire Gov. Kelly Ayotte if she continues avoiding a remapping effort in her state."

    Brazilian woman thought she was going to receive her permanent residency card.

    Instead she ended up in a detention center in Louisiana.


    Brazilian woman thought she was about to get Green Card... then ICE showed up | Daily Mail Online

    excerpt:

    "Marques was detained because she missed a 2019 court appearance about her status, but the couple said they did not know about it, KCLA News reported.

    Missing a court date could result in at least a misdemeanor charge and can lead to a warrant for arrest.

    May said his wife, who came to the States on a tourist visa, is a documentarian with no criminal record."
