I’ve had high hopes that President Donald Trump’s administration would do what Secretary of Defense Pete Hegseth did Thursday. Fully defeating the Democrat Party means waging war against its legacy media outlets. Hegseth recorded his first three fact-checks from the Pentagon which he shared on social media. The purpose of these ongoing videos is to counter fake news ‘reporting’ of the legacy media.
Here are excerpts of those fact-checks. (READ)
1. "The first is DOGE... With DOGE, we're focusing as much as we can on headquarters, and fat, and redundancies, and top-line stuff that allows us to reinvest elsewhere.""We welcome DOGE, and finding those efficiencies is how we save taxpayer dollars. That is a good thing that of course is being distorted through the media..."
2. "The second story in the news is our work reorienting the budget that we inherited...""The media wants to call these exclusive cuts, but it's the opposite, of course, as always is the case... we are pulling around 8% or $50,000,000,000 from the Biden budget.""We will move away from woke Biden era nonlethal programs, and instead spend that money on President Trump's America first peace through strength priorities for our national budget."
3. "The third and final bogus story that is out there is around our reevaluation of our probationary workforce.""Bottom line, it is simply not in the public interest to retain individuals whose contributions are not mission-critical, and to restore accountability within the federal workforce.""Taxpayers deserve to have us take a really thorough look at our workforce top to bottom, and it will be top to bottom, to see where we can find and eliminate redundancies."

Brilliant.
Hegseth issued 3 fact checks, calling out the media for their "bogus" reporting on the Pentagon's recent activities.

Confronting the hoaxes head-on.

Hoaxes must be confronted head on and in real time. Always!

In the past, ‘journalists’ would spread a fake story with ‘sources familiar’ and Trump and his team would be caught flat-footed. Any rebuttal would have to be done through the legacy media which spread the lie. Now the legacy media can be bypassed and Trump and his team can speak directly to voters through X and other social media.
Stellar. 🔥

The legacy media debunking strategy from Trump 47 is just outstanding.
And it's possible because we have X so they don't have to go through the traditional media.

The media hates this.
When they scream "we need transparency," what they're really saying is we "we aren't getting enough attention."
Yes, the importance of X cannot be discounted! It played a major role in electing Trump and is and will be playing a major role in giving the administration a mainstream voice and hopefully drowning out the noise from the MSM.

Trump and his Cabinet can bypass the old TV network and cable news systems and provide answers directly to the public. I’m thrilled because it’s so revolutionary. Many of Trump’s leadership choices are already adept at speaking on camera.
I love that President Trump picked such an effective communicator!

This will be a key component for the return of normalcy to our Military
Very important and clearly the right guy for the job.
— Collin Rugg (@CollinRugg) February 20, 2025
All of this is only possible because Trump lost in 2020.
You wonder at what point the Democrats say yea maybe we shouldn’t have done all those shenanigans…

I mean they could have had Trump w a bunch of RINOs and a compromised cabined and Mike Pence lol.
Instead they have Trump and the Dream Team.
I’m realizing that Trump being denied the White House in 2020 has been a huge blessing in disguise. He had four years to plan his return to the White House and do so with a dedicated group of loyal team members who would not hesitate to carry out his agenda.
This is the most transparent admin I've ever seen.
— Collin Rugg (@CollinRugg) February 20, 2025
Everything is public and communicated right to the people.
About 100x more transparent than the last admin.
The last admin has zero transparency, so it's more like President Trump's admin has infinitely more transparency.

Wonderful! As an American citizen voter and taxpayer, I actually feel respected for the first time in a long, long time.
— Star Lasswell (@StarLasswell1) February 21, 2025
Feels great!
It’s already apparent that this is the most transparent White House in history. They are media savvy. They are leapfrogging the dying legacy media, and speaking unfiltered directly to the American people.
