That would be something. Facioophidian death rays typically just turn a person to stone. 
Whereas turning someone to salt instead traditionally comes from divine retribution.
He’d previously claimed (without evidence) that he had a 44 point lead over his opponent in the primary. He won by a slim margin.

'Cuz I Love to Lie All Day…

I have no idea what to say about this.
Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth announced Wednesday that he is rolling out a new screening program for “testosterone deficiency” among troops, calling it necessary to allow them to operate at their "absolute best.”
So, the only acceptable soldiers are high-testosterone men without beards?
It puts me in mind of this.
Gives " 'Roid Rage" a whole new meaning when DoD starts handing out T supplements to everyone who wants some.
I wonder if that is the point, more provocation and violence directed to lawful protestors when he deploys troops in the US for what ever made up excuse he has.
Right? I mean what’s next? Mandatory steroids and HGH for everybody? Especially the very illegal and dangerous ones. Because who’s going to prosecute?
I think Pete wants the military to look like a pro wrestling locker room from 1987.
So now he’s in favor of gender-affirming care. I’m so confused!
The next step will be uniforms disallowing shirts. And then rules against body hair, and a minimum standard for that classic oiled look…
Jay Clayton, the nominee as Director of National Intelligence, appeared before the Senate Intelligence Committee today. Democratic senators asked him who won the 2020 presidential election, but he was unwilling just to say that Biden won. Instead, he waffled, saying that Biden was “certified” as the winner. Other administration officials and nominees have danced around that question similarly.
COWARDS. Inexcusable for a person to be considered for a position of any import, let alone DNI. A failure as a person. A morally vacant shell. Totally without a soul.
This guy? Nah, I’m talking about the lifeless stooges masquerading as US Senators (R).
That’s the standard, canned response. I’ve seen it at least a dozen times so far.
Saying that his side isn’t as relatable as the Democrats seems like a terrible political strategy even for someone as suave as Vance.

And as far as the military testosterone plan…what if your job is behind a desk?
“Every Marine a rifleman” - I’m certain the standard is that all those people (oh, who am I fooling - men (preferably white)) should be ready to grab a weapon at no notice and engage the enemy.
And the correct re-response from every member of the panel is “You just disqualified yourself from working for the Federal government in any capacity ever. Next!”
It’s the panelists nodding and smiling politely as if this wasn’t important that is unacceptable cowardice.
What sort of assault do they think they’ll mount forcing testosterone on the troops? Sexual?
I’m guessing that Kegsbreth thinks “Leroy Jenkins!” is an example of superior war fighting. There are undoubtedly times when it is the only choice, but (as an entirely unqualified commentator) it seems like they should be extremely rare, given competent leadership.
So, I guess Trump’s Army will need a lot of T to make for the lack of IQ.
I wonder about the hazing. What’s it going to be like, when the other troops find out that Bob has the lowest T in the platoon?
