    I’m sorry but what and why the fuck is this in there?

    Ms. Noem’s visit came 20 years after Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth served at the base as a young officer with the New Jersey National Guard, his first deployment.

    In a newsletter for the detention operation staff, Mr. Hegseth, then a second lieutenant, predicted that the New England Patriots would triumph at the Super Bowl. “Tom Brady knows how to win,” he was quoted saying in a feature. “He’s the next Joe Montana.”

    New England defeated Philadelphia, 24 to 21.
