MAGA Senator, 48, Gets President’s Name Wrong TWICE 3MAR26
MAYBE he said pres hegseth because that is who he swallowed for last????? Look at the shape of his mouth in the above picture, he's doing that O for who, pres "hegseth"????? And is he tickling lutnick's wrist in the picture of them shaking hands? This from The Daily Beast.....
Replacing Kristi Noem with Markwayne Mullin is like taking a dump in your pants and then changing your socks.
MAGA Senator, 48, Gets President’s Name Wrong TWICE
The GOP lawmaker got the president and his top war goon in a muddle.
A MAGA senator got tangled up in a TV interview over who the president is.
Markwayne Mullin was appearing on Fox News, where he tried to lionize Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth as the U.S. war with Iran raged.
Hegseth has been one of the most prominent figures in the Trump administration since the war, codenamed Operation Epic Fury, began on Saturday morning.

Mullin, 48, is seemingly all for it—so much so that he accidentally referred to the defense secretary as “President Hegseth” as he talked up the Army National Guard veteran’s war-fighting credentials.
“War is ugly, it smells bad, and if anybody’s ever been there and, been able to smell the war that’s happened around you and taste it and fill it in your nostrils and hear it, it’s something that you’ll never forget, and it’s ugly,” he said.
It is not something the senator from Oklahoma will be familiar with, however, having never served, though he did win three professional mixed martial arts fights from 2006 to 2007.
“And fortunately, you have President Hegseth—or I say President Hegseth—Secretary Hegseth, that has got a great relationship with President Trump, and President Hegseth’s been there. He’s done that.”
The Republican’s double slip-up comes just a day after a similar incident, in which the Senate Armed Services Committee member appeared on Fox Business to discuss the war.
That time, though, he forgot who it was the U.S. is supposed to be liberating.
“It’s up to the Iraqi people or, I’m sorry, the Iranian people to choose their next go—their next leader,” he fumbled.

Chip Somodevilla/Getty Images From comments "We know where Markwayne is coming from and it's not just Oklahoma. Hegseth/Mullin ticket is on the way. Was that the national martial arts honors or the YMCA? And also, is he tickling Lutnick's wrist in that picture of the two?
“It’s up to them to rise up and kick this regime out of place,” Mullin continued. “If they do not, then they will be with a different leader, but the same regime.”
He said he hoped Iranians “choose to get a different leader that we can have a relationship with, which we would love to. Prior to 1979, we had a good relationship with Iran.”
The joint U.S. and Israeli strikes killed Supreme Leader Ayatollah Ali Khamenei, as well as a number of the top figures Trump says he had identified to replace him.
Speaking to ABC’s Jonathan Karl on Sunday, Trump said, “The attack was so successful it knocked out most of the candidates.
“It’s not going to be anybody that we were thinking of because they are all dead. Second or third place is dead.”
At a press conference on Monday, self-proclaimed “secretary of war” Hegseth laid out his macho, non-P.C. vision for the U.S. military in its Iran war.
The bullish Hegseth said the conflict was being fought “on our terms, with maximum authorities,” and without America’s “traditional allies, who wring their hands and clutch their pearls, hemming and hawing about the use of force.”

CALLING OUT AMERICAN HYPOCRISY ON WOMEN'S RIGHTS TO JUSTIFY WAR 6MAR26
Bill to require factual teaching about U.S. Capitol attack clears Va. General Assembly 4MAR26
JUST as states have had to respond to NOT MY pres drumpf's / trump's illegal and immoral directive to gop / guardians of pedophiles & predators-republican party controlled states to redistrict their congressional precincts to minimize their losses in the 2026 Midterms so too they have had to respond to the corrupt drumpf / trump-vance administration's and the gop / greed over people-republican party's pressure to teach the 6 JAN 21 insurrection not as a treasonous violent assault on the US Capital Building and an attempt to nullify the 2020 Presidential election results but to teach it as a peaceful protest against a stolen election. This from the Virginia Mercury shows the people of Virginia and our Commonwealth legislature will not teach the Orwellian version drumpf / trump-vance and their sycophants want but will teach the truth. Why does the Virginia assembly of independent baptist object to teaching the truth? Just waiting for Gov Spanberger D-VA to sign it into law.....
Bill to require factual teaching about US Capitol attack clears Va. General Assembly
Proposal passed on mostly party line votes in House, Senate; heads to governor
Virginia lawmakers on Monday passed a proposal that would require schools, if they teach students about the violent attack on the U.S. Capitol on Jan. 6, 2021, to relay the facts of what actually happened, without including misinformation that the 2020 presidential election was stolen or that the attack was just a peaceful protest.
Since both the Senate and House advanced the measure, if Gov. Abigail Spanberger approves, it would take effect immediately and would dictate what and how Virginia’s public schools can instruct pupils regarding the Capitol attack, a major political event in the country’s recent history.
The attack, waged by supporters of then-Republican presidential nominee Donald Trump in response to Congress certifying that Joe Biden won the election, had wide-ranging impacts on law enforcement, public discourse about democracy, and ongoing institutional, legal, and social repercussions.
“There is real concern that the President of the United States is trying to rewrite the history of January 6, (that is) borne out by the fact there’s a whitehouse.gov site that presents a false history of what happened that day,” House Bill 333 sponsor Del. Dan Helmer, D-Fairfax, said to the Mercury earlier during the session.
“We just want to make sure that if school boards choose to teach on January 6, that they’re not presenting the false narrative that is out there.”
Permissive and political
Helmer’s bill does not ban schools from teaching about Jan. 6. Instead, it requires a specific framing and bars presenting alternative interpretations or election fraud claims as credible in public schools.
Despite the seeming consensus in the legislature, the bill drew some opposition from the public.. The Virginia Assembly of Independent Baptists argued that it lacked educational value and pushed a “left-wing” narrative.
“I don’t know that I agree that it is necessary to take one of the darkest days in American history and teach our young people and glorify to our young people when adults act badly,” said Michael Huffman, the assembly’s executive director, during a Senate subcommittee meeting on Feb. 19. “True education equips children for life, not political agendas, and glorifying or mandating … the dark day serves only short-sighted partisanship, not our kids’ future.”
Sheila Fury, another speaker who opposed the legislation, called it another “reason why everyone in the commonwealth should pull their children from public education” during a Jan. 27 House Education subcommittee hearing.
“This is explicit indoctrination,” Fury said.
Helmer, in response, emphasized the need to teach the truth about the event and counter widespread false narratives about it. Some lawmakers, including Senate Education and Health Committee Chair Sen. Barbara Favola, D-Arlington, pointed out that the proposal is permissive.
“I don’t see anything wrong with this bill,” Favola said. “I think the January 6 episode, unfortunately, is something that our children should be aware of, and I think the framework is reasonable.”
In the House, Del. Jessica Anderson, D-Williamsburg, supported the legislation.
“Our courts have proven that it was an insurrection, and I want to make sure that our students are also taught those facts,” Anderson said during a Jan. 27 House Education subcommittee hearing.
The Senate and House supported the legislation on mostly party-line votes.
Next step
Spanberger will decide whether to sign the proposal into law. Her position on it is currently unclear and her office did not respond to questions about whether she will support the measure.
Before her election as governor, Spanberger represented Virginia in Congress during the attack. She called for investigations and measures to prevent similar attacks in the future.
She wrote, “This day did not happen in a vacuum. Jan. 6 marked the continuation of a trend of falsehoods — and tragically, the lies that spawned this act of insurrection are still present in American politics.”
The governor’s office said she will “review all legislation that comes to her desk.”
