"U.S. Navy Vice Adm. Shoshana Chatfield, the only woman on NATO’s military committee, was fired over the weekend by the Trump administration, U.S. officials said Monday."

The decision was made last week by Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth. Chatfield is the third top female officer to be fired since Trump took office.

Chatfield was on a list of senior military officers targeted as “woke” by the conservative American Accountability Foundation, which sent a letter to Hegseth saying that “purging the woke from the military is imperative.” They complained in the letter to Hegseth that those responsible for DEI policies “must be dismissed,” adding that military leaders should be focused on cultivating lethality, not on fostering diversity, equity and inclusion in the ranks.

#Brussels police arrest #Rubio security detail supervisor after fight - Washington Examiner #Hegseth #AlcoholicAdmin

"Speaking on condition of anonymity, two sources with direct knowledge of the situation told the Washington Examiner that the supervising agent in question was behaving erratically and became irate when hotel staff refused to re-open the bar beyond its normal opening hours. When staff, including the night manager, attempted to persuade the agent to return to his room, the agent became physically aggressive. Police were then called. The agent then engaged in an altercation with numerous police officers, leading to his arrest."

Robert P. Jones reports that his book White Too Long has been removed from holdings of the prestigious library of the US Naval Academy. He writes:

"This defilement of a respected academic institution by those who are waging an outright assault on higher education is, disturbingly, the goal. Honor and integrity are inconvenient stumbling blocks on the road to absolute power."

#DOGE’s #Pentagon Budget Cuts Don’t Touch #ElonMusk’s #SpaceX

By Nick Turse, April 3, 2025

Excerpt:
"A day after his announcement, #Hegseth hosted a 'private meeting in the secretary’s office' with #Musk, who donated almost $300 million to Donald #Trump’s 2024 presidential campaign — after which the new president tapped Musk to spearhead the administration’s budget-cutting efforts. While Musk has seen his electric car company Tesla face immense consumer backlash and financial headwinds, SpaceX — now the top Pentagon contractor by market valuation — is poised to reap increased rewards from Hegseth’s department."

A very true quote from this article about Trump purging national security officials:

“If you had said in October that if Trump were elected he’d end up purging the NSC at the behest of Laura Loomer and ordering Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth to fire the director of the NSA, you’d have been accused of having a terminal case of Trump Derangement Syndrome.”

'And yet, here we are.'

Lara Loomer, with long dark hair, is speaking to a group of reporters. She is wearing a dark jacket and a black t-shirt with partially visible text that reads "SHOULD THE D NOTION." Several microphones are pointed towards her, including one labeled "AFP." In the background, there are people wearing red hats and clothing with USA logos, and an American flag is visible. The setting appears to be outdoors, possibly at a protest or rally. At the bottom there is the text: National Security Council purged by Trump after Laura Loomer meeting.
