But after President Biden was elected, Hegseth left the military, complaining he was ordered to stand down from his duty guarding Biden’s inauguration because top brass dubbed him a “white nationalist” and an “extremist.”“The military I loved, I fought for, I revered… spit me out,” Fox News co-host Hegseth wrote in a recent book. “I separated from an Army that didn’t want me anymore. The feeling was mutual — I didn’t want this Army anymore either.”The man that didn’t want “this Army” may soon…

And his vengeance will be enabled by the Supreme Court opinion granting presidents broad immunity from prosecution.A recent National Public Radio analysis determined that Trump has threatened more than 100 federal investigations or prosecutions to settle scores.

Laughter echoes from a Los Angeles, California, soundstage on a Friday afternoon in September, as the cast of Wizards Beyond Waverly Place works on nailing a midseason cold open. “Ow!
