One new press corps member, the Washington Reporter, says its coverage will remain "as tough and objective as ever" and also that Hegseth's "tenure has been nothing short of transformative," with "perfect execution," "flawless coordination" and a "steady hand" washingtonreporter.news/p/editorial-...
Let us be clear: we are not capitulating. Our reporting will remain as tough and objective as ever. But the guidelines are only “capitulation” to someone who is, frankly, deranged. What are we signing up for? Things like wearing identification badges, prohibiting the inducement of classified disclosures, and not accessing certain areas of the building. God forbid!
At the heart of this stands Secretary Hegseth, whose tenure has been nothing short of transformative. He has solved the terrible Biden recruiting crisis that was a ticking time bomb for our national security. Secretary Hegseth has boosted active-duty numbers by 15 percent in less than a year. Americans are excited to serve again because they see real leadership; not the dog-costumed leadership running DOD under President Joe Biden.
Even more than his recruiting success, just look at Secretary Hegseth’s leadership in the precision strikes against Iranian nuclear sites last spring. Executed with flawless coordination, these operations exemplified Hegseth’s strategic acumen. We heard for weeks that if President Donald Trump took action against Iran’s nuclear program, we would get World War III or worse. The world would end, they screeched, if President Trump stood with our ally Israel against the bloodthirsty Iranian terrorists. Of course, none of that happened, in large part because of Secretary Hegseth’s perfect execution.
