Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth has ordered the Navy to rename the USNS Harvey Milk. And the news has emerged during Pride Month.

It's safe to say Hegseth is telling gay people to shove it up our sequined asses.

This move is infuriating not just because Hegseth is wounding gay people and erasing LGBTQ military history, but because he himself is such a loser. It took him about five minutes in the job to reveal his incompetence through Signalgate. He talks like he's John Wayne, but at his core he's Yosemite Sam.

By way of explanation for this offense, Hegseth's office said, "Secretary Hegseth is committed to ensuring that the names attached to all DOD installations and assets are reflective of the Commander-in-Chief's priorities, our nation's history, and the warrior ethos."

So we are to assume gay rights pioneer Harvey Milk wasn't part of our nation's history. Whose was he a part of, Peru's?

It's unknown what the new name of the fleet replenishment oiler will be. But if it needs to align with the Trump/Hegseth priorities, American history, and the warrior ethos, then it should be called the USNS Toxic Masculinity.

As we head into a new work week, take comfort in knowing that the president of the United States always has the American people in the forefront of his mind.

Except when the president is Donald Trump.

On Saturday night, Trump took the time to repost on Truth Social a gonzo claim that former President Joe Biden was executed in 2020 and replaced with clones or robots.

That's our leader, so measured, so calming, so responsible.

I'd feel more secure being governed by Trump's putter.
