I asked a week or two ago, has KooKoo posted in the last year?
Not that I'm aware of.
You know, a thought came to mind when I got a chance to watch a clip of Pocahontas.
About woman in combat roles, the response should have been. "I believe the same as you maam about a woman's role in combat. When you require them to register for the draft like their male counterparts they maybe viewed as equal."

I'm not touching those to look!
That would be refreshing.
Cackling Useless Never Trumper-s
We don't want our sons to be POWs, either.
The simple fact is that women aren't as physically big and strong as men, in general. The end. If they can make it through their training without any special concessions, great. Let them in. But don't dumb it down just to get women in there.
I get tired of these neofeminists - "Oh we can do anything a man can do.....as long as you lower the requirements."
The Democrats were only interested in engaging in a&&holery. It was pointless to even watch them ask their questions except for the fact that they proved how big of an a-hole they could be. (Trying to top each other, even - it seemed!)
They ALL KNOW that Pete is going to get confirmed, so the Dems only used their 7 mins or whatever they were allotted to grandstand and try to appear as though they fought hard.
I loved pointing and laughing at each one of them.Actually the next week is going to be awesome watching them get more and more apoplectic in the final countdown to inauguration!

Can't wait for Pam Bondi's today!! She's gonna be even better!!

I get that camera's recording the public record is the proper thing to do, and we need a record. but the press needs to be removed
This is a frigging CLOWN SHOW as democrats preen for the camera's, sound bites and gotcha moments
Maybe a recording for the public record and release the materials in 30 to 90 days after the hearings

I am never sure - if they say the kinds of things they say because they are stupid enough to believe them or if they think we are.
I think it kind of goes without saying that if someone is going to be a fireman, they have to be physically fit enough to do the job. Otherwise, they are a liability.
But they say things as if they think the military needs to be an equal opportunity employer. No it isn't. If a soldier is defending your house, the last thing you want is someone who can't fight. You don't want someone who is fat and out of shape or needs an inhaler or who is blind or mentally impaired. You want the best. You can have people like that as teachers or lawyers or doctors but not someone whose job is to fight and defend people.
So when they say these things do they think people will glom onto it and say hey that's right, women can do whatever a man can do? Because if they can then the physical requirements should be the same. Otherwise it's just not true.

Hegseth's Media Chops Are a Huge Plus While Facing Frothing Democrats
As I told everyone who participated in our live blog on Tuesday, I am not a fan of televised confirmation hearings in the United States Senate. Regardless of which party is in power, the hearings are nothing more than an opportunity for a bunch of attention-starved egomaniacs to grandstand. Every senator knows going in to the hearing how he or she is going to vote, so the process is useless.
My personal distaste for seeing "Hollywood for Ugly People" acting out for the cameras doesn't matter, however, and we're stuck with this bad theater.
Thankfully, Pete Hegseth is ready for all of it.
Several times during last year's general election campaign, I wrote that one of JD Vance's biggest strengths was his ability to handle the media. His celebrity before he got into politics gave him valuable experience in the fundamentals of dealing with television interviewers. Hegseth's time at the Fox News Channel has given him an edge as well.
We are all painfully familiar with how woefully unprepared so many Republicans are when thrust into the spotlight. They often walk right into every "Gotcha!" question thrown at them. Hegseth may have been facing Democratic politicians and not propaganda pimps from the mainstream media on Tuesday, but they were all attempting to set traps for him.
Hegseth is more than used to bright, unnerving television lights and on-camera exchanges. Time after time on Tuesday, he calmly responded to Democrats who were behaving like rabid animals who grew up being rewarded for bad behavior. Here's one example that I shared on X:
I have to believe they're selling to their voters who are dumb and will believe anything even though it's demonstrably not true. Or it could be they themselves are in fact that dumb. That's a great question and I'd love to know the answer.
Ultimately the voters *are* dumb because they elect and re-elect these idiots.

Any man that's been in the military likely doesn't want their daughter to join in any capacity. I would be more worried about the CAR they get for action seen in the barracks.
No way, Jose. I don't want the lying liars in the media to tell me what happened - I want to see it for myself so I know the truth.
