Here’s to Townhall.com which publishes (on the internet) columns that correct the lies in the mainstream media – three television networks, a couple of large East Coast newspapers and a couple of broadcast outfits that should be stripped of taxpayer funding. If they can make it on their own, which I doubt, fine.

Hint. You can connect to Townhall by simply typing in Townhall.com on your computer search engine.

Here’s a sample by just looking over one day’s publication.

Matt Vesta headline – “The Left’s obsession with clipping Pete Hegseth is bordering on psychotic.”

Here’s what Vesta led with: “When the left targets someone like the Predator with its shoulder cannon, there’s no stopping them. Secretary of Defense Pete Hegseth is the latest target. In some ways, it’s something different as they’ve moved on from Donald Trump to a certain degree—they’ve hurled the whole library at the man, not just the book, and lost. So, if it’s not raging about Trump 24/7, it’s Elon Musk. But for this Easter, it was Mr. Hegseth—and it’s the same old crap again.”

Next comes my personal favorite, Kurt Schlichter, retired attorney and now author and columnist who headlines his piece “Trump won’t get tricked into sacrificing Pete Hegseth to the Democrats.

Here’s how Kurt leads it: “Let’s get right to the heart of the Pete Hegseth fake controversy. This isn’t about some Signal chat. This isn’t about some bullSchiff newfound interest in sensitive materials- handling that didn’t manifest until it became useful as a political weapon. This is about one thing: Taking down President Donald J. Trump. This is about wounding him, belittling him, humiliating him by taking the scalp of a marquee guy he appointed, and neutering him so he can’t reform the broken Pentagon.

When Schlichter gets down to the nitty-gritty, he writes: “Pete Hegseth is a high-value target because he is a two-fer; nuking him not only hurts Trump but they get rid of the guy who is messing with their grift. Pete Hegseth is a man and a soldier, two things the Democrats, regime media – and Soft Republicans – hate, loathe, and fear. In this retired colonel’s opinion, he’s already done the most important thing that a new SecDef could do: re-establish military culture. Sometimes you need a number-cruncher like Donald Rumsfeld. Other times, you need an a(blank)-kicker like Pete Hegseth. He has hewn the dead wood, fired the half-steppers, and gone out there and said that we will be a military organization once again. The troops get the message when he does PT with Mongo the Camouflage Sasquatch. This is a guy who wants the military to be what the troops signed up for. Real warriors want to be part of this organization. Enlistments are up massively, and the word is out. This is going to be a war fighting organization that’s dedicated to killing our enemies instead of talking about privilege, systemic racism, and how some men can get pregnant.

“He’s replacing DEI with DIE, and it’s the bad guys who are doing the dying. Being a retired colonel on Twitter, and therefore harmless, service members talk to me. They’re finally in a military organization again, and they dig it. They love Pete Hegseth, and getting rid of Pete Hegseth would be a betrayal of the people who put their lives on the line for our country. And it would also be a betrayal of the people who support the president.”

Another one I really like is Kevin McCullough, a New York podcaster who headlines his commentary: “Rogue Commanders, the Enemy Within.”

He says it all in the first paragraph: “I’ve walked the halls of military bases all over the world. From the quiet corners of European command posts to the buzz of stateside HQs, I’ve seen how order is maintained—not just by muscle or might, but by discipline. That’s what makes a fighting force elite. And I knew it growing up in a military family: you respect the chain of command. Period. You don’t pick and choose your loyalties based on your politics.”

Later, he adds: “Yet today, it seems some commanders have forgotten that basic truth—and are testing the limits of insubordination.

“Case in point: Col. Sheyla Baez Ramirez, garrison commander at Fort McCoy, Wisconsin, was suspended after it was discovered that the base’s official chain-of-command board was scrubbed of its civilian leadership. No photo of President Donald J. Trump. No Vice President J.D. Vance. No Secretary of Defense Pete Hegseth. Just … blank.

“This wasn’t some routine delay in updating the wall. This was an unmistakable act of either protest or incompetence. And neither is acceptable.”

Since I’ve gone overboard on the first three columnists, I’ll just use the headlines from others on the Tuesday columnist list: Derek Hunter: “The questions Democrats will not answer.”

Cal Thomas: “When a wrong narrative hides the truth.”

Alan Joseph Bauer: “Harvard presidents – On sale at Macy’s.” Ken Blackwell : “Trump’s DHS and DOJ are going after MS-13, Not moms at school board meetings.

Paul Driessen: The world needs People Day more than Earth Day.

Vijay Jayara: “ Trump’s example to the world: Cull activists to achieve energy abundance.”

Linnea Lueken: “The Salvaging of the Climate Politico-Legal-Media Complex.”

Jonathan Feldstein: “The moral bankruptcy of a ‘Day of Rage’ and the legacy of blame and destruction.”
