This stuff doesn't make sense

The world does not make sense some days. I was reading the New York Times about former Fox News announcer Pete Hegseth putting out confidential military information over a cell phone chat application. First of all, how does a former news announcer become Secretary of Defence? One would think this is a role for a high-level military person, not some sycophant that sucks up to the guy trying to be president. In a real world, goof-ups like this would result in somebody being arrested or least removed from a sensitive role. The guy lives in a world where people just deny reality and hopes others believe him. Now that the real media -- NOT Fox rookies -- have this story in their sights, you can be sure that Hegseth's days are numbered.
