Hegseth confuses Pulp Fiction scene with Bible verse

[pknopp]

We realize he didn't say vaccines actually work, so you can rest easy.

Trump did.

 

[Zincwarrior]

This is nuts from the Secretary of Defense in a press conference, this morning, updating about the Iran Excursion:
Hegseth told reporters, “This past Sunday, I was sitting in church with my family, and our minister preached from the book of Mark, the third chapter, and in the passage, Jesus entered a synagogue and healed a man with a withered hand. The Pharisees came to watch, and as the scripture reads, they came to see whether Jesus would heal him … on the Sabbath, so that they might accuse him. You see the Pharisees, the so-called and self appointed elites of their time, they were there to witness, to write everything down to report, but their hearts were hardened. Even though they witnessed a literal miracle, it didn’t matter. They were only there to explain away the goodness in pursuit of their agenda.”

Pete Hegseth Invokes The Bible To Lash Out At News Media

Hegseth said "our press is just like these Pharisees," referring to the Biblical crowd that scrutinized Jesus Christ

Instead of the biblical "I am the Lord," Hegseth said, "my call sign is Sandy One" — a line not found in scripture, but popularized an iconic scene in "Pulp Fiction." The rest of Hegseth's quote closely mirrors the fictionalized Ezekiel 25:17 Samuel L. Jackson's character, Jules Winnfield, cited before killing a character in "Pulp Fiction."

He's referencing A-10's...................

Call sign Sandy One.

 

[d0gbreath]

He should stick to spritzing ammo and bombs with Holy Water.

Holy shit.....

Holy shit.....

I'm missing the part where he is supposedly quoting the Bible.

Because he wasn't.

Fodder for dummies

Yeah, you got conned again.

Interesting story. The Secretary of War Crimes never ceases to amaze.

I'm reminded of Thomas Paine regarding the biblical psychobabble--It is from the bible that man has learned cruelty, rapine and murder, for the belief in a cruel god makes a cruel man.

For all the flak that Pete Hegseth has been taking since his appointment, even Democrat Leftists have to admit that Hegseth put cohesion back into the military, increased enlistments, cleaned out the dead wood and made good decision when it came to Epic Fury,
All told Pete Hegseth is among the better choices presidents have made since Franks and Schwarzkopf.
People like Milley and Austin should slink away in shame or at the least should be cashiered.

Peter Hegseth is more pagan than Christian. He should just come out of the closet and give thanks to Odin and Thor.

 

[LAUGHatLEFTISTS]

I really don't know how to add to this, other than the obvious reminder that this adminstration has turned Christianity into a farce.

I feel bad for the non-MAGA Christians who are seeing this done to their religion.

Hegseth's Pentagon prayer sounds like 'Pulp Fiction' line; here's why
Hegseth Borrows Violent Prayer from ‘Pulp Fiction’ to Bless Iran War at April Pentagon Worship Service Brian Kaylor

While the prayer echoes scripture, only part of its final line appears in the Bible. Ezekiel 25:17 reads, "And I will execute great vengeance upon them with furious rebukes; and they shall know that I am the Lord, when I shall lay my vengeance upon them."

Instead of the biblical "I am the Lord," Hegseth said, "my call sign is Sandy One" — a line not found in scripture, but popularized an iconic scene in "Pulp Fiction." The rest of Hegseth's quote closely mirrors the fictionalized Ezekiel 25:17 Samuel L. Jackson's character, Jules Winnfield, cited before killing a character in "Pulp Fiction."

"There's a passage I got memorized, seems appropriate for this situation: Ezekiel 25:17," Jackson's character said. "The path of the righteous man is beset on all sides by the inequities of the selfish and the tyranny of evil men. Blessed is he who, in the name of charity and good will, shepherds the weak through the valley of darkness, for he is truly his brother's keeper and the finder of lost children. And I will strike down upon thee with great vengeance and furious anger those who attempt to poison and destroy my brothers. And you will know my name is the Lord when I lay my vengeance upon you."

Hegseth's prayer caught the attention of X and Reddit users, who commented on its parallels with the "Pulp Fiction" line.

Some questioned if the prayer was satire, while others called it "beyond embarrassing."

I just don't know how these people are not insulted by this.

Trump's primary appeal is that he gives people a free pass on shame. And dignity. He goes so low that it makes them feel better about themselves.

 

[LAUGHatLEFTISTS]

The cherry-picking just doesn't stop.

"I'm gonna be as ugly and cruel as I feel like being, and use a Bible verse to justify it. And I'll ignore any Bible verse that says something different. Even if the Pope brings it up".

Man up and get control of your feelings.

He wasn't confused. He didn't think anyone would notice...

Do any of them look the same as what Hegseth said?

 

[frigidweirdo]

He wasn't confused. He didn't think anyone would notice...

Or he thought he could be cool. And failed.

 

[PeterPilot]

Peter Hegseth is more pagan than Christian. He should just come out of the closet and give thanks to Odin and Thor.

That could be said about all Zionists. They serve Moloch, and the Star of Moloch is emblazoned on the flag of the State.

I understand your point, but in my view I don't believe that ANY decision that contravenes the spirit and letter of the US Constitution can be described as "good". Such decisions are illegitimate and harmful.

Joe Kent made the right decision--get out of the house of the traitors.

I just don't know how these people are not insulted by this.

Wow, it’s almost as if they are not that religious at all...
