Tears for Our Enemies

Whose Side Are They On?

In the fever swamp of modern media, truth is the first casualty—and when it comes to smearing patriots like Pete Hegseth, the recent weapon of choice is the faceless, unaccountable “anonymous source.”

Outlets like The Washington Post, The Atlantic and CNN breathlessly reported that Hegseth, President Trump’s Secretary of War, allegedly snarled “kill them all” in an intense exchange with military leaders regarding the highly publicized cartel boat strikes. This revelation sent the media and political figures into a frenzy. To date, no recordings exist. No witnesses were named. No evidence beyond a whisper from the shadows.

It’s the same tired playbook: leak a bombshell quote to all-too-eager “insiders,” watch it spread like wildfire on social media, and never, ever provide the receipts. When pressed, the sources vanish like smoke, but the seed is already planted.

Let’s be clear: this isn’t journalism; it’s character assassination by keyboard.

Hegseth, a combat veteran and former Fox News host who’s spent his life defending American troops and calling out the deep state’s failures, is now the villain for daring to prioritize U.S. security over drug cartel operations. Without a shred of proof—no audio, no sworn testimony, no corroboration—the media’s “scoop” is nothing but a drive-by smear, designed to derail a man who actually understands the cost of weakness.

Remember the Steele dossier? Anonymous sourcing is the left’s favorite fiction factory, churning out narratives that fit the agenda while burying the real scandal.

While these outlets clutch pearls over an unproven quip, where’s the outrage for the 100,000+ Americans—sons, daughters, brothers, sisters—poisoned to death last year alone by cartel fentanyl?

The same narco-terrorists Hegseth wants to confront are the ones flooding our streets with pills laced to kill, turning playgrounds into morgues and families into mourners. Yet when cartel foot soldiers get taken out—thugs who transport enough precursor chemicals to slaughter thousands of our kids—the media goes through great pains to paint them as victims.

Despite the undeniable toll these drug-smugglers have inflicted on our nation, some members of Congress want the focus to remain on the boat strikes and not the victims of their criminal enterprise.

“I am alarmed by the number of vessels this administration has taken out without a single consultation with Congress,” bemoaned Rep. Madeleine Dean (D-PA).

Sen. Richard Blumenthal (D-CT) called the entire incident “deeply troubling.” “Ultimately, the accountability rests with Secretary Hegseth,” Blumenthal said. “He should be gone.” Quite a bold statement from a man who lied about serving in Vietnam.

However, Sen. Blumenthal is not the first to push for the early departure of Secretary Hegseth. Several other U.S. Senators have additionally called for Secretary Hegseth to resign. Senators Rosen (D-NV) Murphy (D-CT) and Cortez Masto (D-NV), to name a few, released statements claiming the Secretary of War has disqualified himself. Sen. Markey (D-MA) went further and called Secretary Hegseth a war criminal.

Do they truly believe this or do they just want a scalp? Would they prefer to go back to the old limp-wristed way of allowing anyone and anything to come into our country without any repercussions?

Secretary Hegseth gets pilloried for a quote of questionable existence, but the real killers—the cartels raking in billions annually from drugs, including fentanyl—get kid-glove treatment. We need leaders like Hegseth who’ll fight for us, not apologize and back down for defending our kids.

Don’t let the media’s smoke screen blind you. These progressive publications have embraced this “anonymous source” tactic for years against Trump and his allies. Demand confirmation or retraction from these media outlets. Stand up for our Secretary of War. Contact your members of Congress and tell them to support Secretary Hegseth in his mission to protect and defend our nation. And remember: the true war isn’t in some anonymous whisper—it’s on our streets, where illicit drugs claim a life every five minutes. For the fallen, for the families shattered, and for the America we refuse to lose—stand firm.
