Megyn Kelly is done with Pete Hegseth praying during his Pentagon briefings about the Iran War.

On Monday’s episode of “The Megyn Kelly Show,” the host had to air out her grievances with the way the Defense Secretary has been praying at the podium and mentioning Jesus while debriefing the press about the latest with the Iran War. Kelly thought it might be best not to invoke God before talking about Iranian civilians who died in attacks.

“It feels off that Pete Hegseth keeps praying at these briefings that he’s doing as if it’s all in the name of God,” Kelly said. “The bombing of Iran, in which, 170 young girls were killed, that was, that’s not in the name of God. Okay? Definitely not in the name of Jesus. I wish you would just check the Jesus talk, the God talk at the Pentagon briefings. All right?

She added: “It’s called the Department of War. I understand he has a job to do. It’s not appropriate there. You pray on Sunday, pray every morning on your knees to God, but while you’re updating us on the number you’ve killed, which necessarily has included some civilians, – don’t mention Jesus, don’t talk about God. Don’t act like he’s sanctioning what you’re doing.”

It was an odd weekend when it came to the White House and religion. On Sunday, Trump not only went after Pope Leo XIV for his comments against the war in Iran, but the president also posted a meme late that night of him as Jesus healing the sick. Kelly was unsurprised that Trump targeted the pope because he’s done it with everyone else critical of his war.

“President Trump has picked up a new feud with Pope Leo XIV. Seems like a great time to start a feud with a Catholic Pope,” Kelly continued. “I will be the first to tell you, the Pope has been critical of this war – I’m Catholic, obviously – he’s been critical of this war, and as he’s been critical of it, it occurred to me that it was just a matter of time before President Trump would lash out at him, and he did. So it wasn’t great. It was predictable.”

As for the meme of Trump as Jesus? The president tried to spin it that he thought it was depicting him as a Red Cross working. The image itself showed Trump in robes holding his hands glowing with healing light over a sick man.

“I did post it, and I thought it was me as a doctor and had to do with Red Cross. There’s a Red Cross worker, which we support, and only the fake news could come up with that one,” Trump said. “I just heard about it and I said, ‘How did they come up with that?’ It’s supposed to be me as a doctor making people better and I do make people better. I make people a lot better.”
 
I will go to my grave believing that St. Donald of Mar-a-Lago put that image out just to test the waters on whether or not his disciples, acolytes, and followers would proclaim him to be not only President for Life but also the 2nd Coming of Jesus Christ. His attitude seems to be, if you don't test the waters, then you will never know how deep they are.
 
For a man who talks so, so much about his grievances, he certainly hasn’t spent much time on the near assassination and the catastrophic secret service failure that allowed it to happen.

Candice Owens, Tucker Carlson, MTG, some in the man-o-sphere and more are just sticking their fingers into the wind. They see the end of Trump nearing, his mental annd physical deterioration , the culmination of his incompetence, and are prognosticating the best possible position for post-Trump money and power.

I listened to a podcast discussing this emerging phenomenon a couple of days ago. One host was arguing against reaching out to these people, and the other vehemently believed the left should. I’m in the former camp. If the left and center can leverage the growing animus within the maga coalition then leverage away. But to think these people are anything short of foxes looking for a henhouse seems naive as hell to me.

I’ve avoided promoting any of these Iranian propaganda vids b/c IRAN.

For the first time in the last 45 days, this strikes me as one with substantial backfire potential. I won’t promote the anti-Trump ones but don’t really care — he has his own propaganda team.

This one seems like a miscalculation for the Iranian side to me.
