(WASHINGTON) — Acting Navy Secretary Thomas Modly resigned Tuesday, according to two officials, just hours after he had publicly apologized for a profanity-laced upbraiding of the officer he fired as captain of the coronavirus-stricken USS Theodore Roosevelt. The officials spoke on condition of anonymity in order to discuss the matter before an official announcement. Modly’s designated replacement will be James McPherson, a Navy veteran who is currently serving undersecretary of the Army.

  • The Nodfather: Low Stamina Sleepy Donald Caught Snoozing In Court
    Crooks and Liars, Monday - 04/15/2024 - 08:45 PM

    I remember Donald Trump saying that Hillary Clinton, who traveled 956,733 miles as Secretary of State, didn't "have the stamina" to be President.

Defendant Trump reportedly glared at Haberman before leaving court. The internet lit up.
