Conquering Congress

May 4, 2026

Conquering Congress by Pete Hegseth   I hate testifying before those weak and traitorous Democrats in the Capitol. For cheap political advantage they insult my patriotism and pretend that they, rather than my comrades and I, are the ones guarding our nation. They wouldn’t dare run their mouths to a warrior like me if we were in…
