Pete Hegseth Chastised for Misbehavior at Tomb of the Unknown Soldier

Reading Time: 3 minutes

If you cannot maintain a respectful demeanor, you shouldn’t be there.

Almost immediately after avoiding an Impeachment resolution by the skin of his teeth, Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth was chastised by a member of the US Army.

The former Fox News weekend anchor and aides were visiting the Tomb of the Unknown Soldier.

This sacred memorial has a ceremonial guard — one who called out Hegseth and his group’s disrespectful laughter.

‘An atmosphere of silence and respect at all times’

The Tomb of the Unknown Soldier is a memorial to an unidentified World War I soldier. Two more soldiers have been interred there following World War II and the Korean War.

This shrine to the fallen sits in Arlington National Cemetery. There are similar memorial sites in other nations, including Canada, France, and the UK.

At all times, a Tomb Guard from the US Army’s Third Regiment is on duty. There is a Changing of the Guard every half hour from April through September and every hour from October through March.

Veteran’s Day was Wednesday, November 11.

When Hegseth and a group of his aides spoke loudly and laughed during a ceremonial visit to the site, the Tomb Guard spoke up.

After the wreath-laying ceremony, Hegseth and his cronies were, for some reason, chatting merrily as if they were on a social visit to a very different location.

(Given Hegseth’s reputation, some online have suggested that his demeanor would be better suited to a kegger.)

“All visitors will maintain an atmosphere of silence and respect at all times!” the Tomb Guard barked while continuing a formal march.

From the tacky gilding of the Oval Office to the hideous ballroom construction (really looking forward to that being torn down in a few years) to what some call the Midasing of DC — coating statues in gold — many feel that the US capitol has been under a deliberate attempt to desecrate national monuments and sites of importance.

This was less permanent but similarly appalling. It’s not a surprise that Hegseth could not manage his behavior for a short visit to a memorial, but that is no excuse.

What was he thinking?

The Pentagon did release a statement on the matter.

The tone was, for once, not particularly defiant.

“The Secretary and the entire Department have always honored — and will always honor — the sacrifices our military men and women have made to keep America safe,” the statement claimed without evidence.

“While commemorating this solemn day,” the statement went on, “a soldier correctly and respectfully reminded everyone to maintain decorum.”

It does not acknowledge Hegseth’s wrongdoing, but at least does not attack the Tomb Guard publicly. That’s not praiseworthy, but it may be a sign that Hegseth and his accomplices are feeling the heat.

Some might ask why Hegseth was unable to compose himself respectfully at the Tomb of the Unknown Soldier.

Many might be tempted to point towards his twisted ideology — the one that has driven him to actively sabotage the United States military, to spew slurs on camera, and to misbehave before Congress. His foul beliefs might mean that he takes this solemn ceremony as lightly as he takes the rule of law.

Others point towards his drinking. His “Whisky Pete” nickname is not a compliment.

However, Hegseth falls under a group of conservatives — like Nick Fuentes and arguably like Donald Trump himself — where the twisted ideology came after the behavioral problems.

People who have an innate inability to behave in a pro-social manner often drift towards whatever ideology rewards them for outbursts and misbehavior, giving them a platform with which to lash out at the world.

Hegseth has found his platform. And Trump has given him enough rope with which to end his participation in polite society.

Khloe Kardashian on Ex Lamar Odom: He’s ‘Dead’ to Me

Reading Time: 3 minutes

Khloe Kardashian says her ex-husband Lamar Odom is “dead” to her after his comments about their marriage in a new Netflix documentary.

The reality star, 42, made the declaration on the Thursday, November 12 episode of The Kardashians on Hulu, where she reacted to Untold: The Death & Life of Lamar Odom in a confessional.

The documentary covers Lamar’s long struggle with drug and alcohol addiction, along with his 2015 near-death experience. Khloe agreed to take part, and she is not happy with how the final product turned out.

Khloé Kardashian attends The 2022 Met Gala Celebrating "In America: An Anthology of Fashion" at The Metropolitan Museum of Art on May 02, 2022 in New York City.

She explained that watching the finished documentary left her unhappy, since she had taken time out of her life to sit down for it as a favor to him (via the Daily Mail).

“I’m not being paid,” Khloe continued. “I’m doing this because I’m trying to be nice.”

Part of what set her off was Lamar’s explanation of why he wanted to marry her in the first place. In the film, the former NBA star, 47, pointed to the Kardashian lifestyle.

He said that even though he was already famous, watching how Khloe and her family lived made him realize that was where he wanted to be and how he wanted to live.

Khloe took that as a suggestion that love wasn’t the main reason he walked down the aisle.

“You’re saying that you weren’t really in love with me. You married me just so you could be more popular in pop culture,” she said. “All these things, which is so weird.”

“Even if that is your truth, why don’t you say it without me being on the other side of these interviews?” Khloe added.

She also took issue with what she called Lamar’s “really, really lame” remarks about her role in his recovery after his 2015 medical crisis.

Back in April, Jenna Bush Hager asked Lamar on The Today Show whether Khloe had saved his life. “In some ways,” he answered, before adding, “God saved my life. The lord saved my life, honestly.”

Lamar acknowledged that Khloe “took care” of him, but said “God took care of me the most. What I came back from is like a medical miracle.”

Khloe made it clear she wasn’t fishing for gratitude. “I don’t need [him] to thank me. Just don’t talk about me. Don’t discredit me,” she said.

“The bridge is burned and there’s no more rope left to throw over,” she continued. “So he is dead to me.”

She didn’t stop there, either. Khloe said Lamar’s dismissive comments “just solidif[y] what liars, con artists, cheats, thieves and trolls that men are.”

“I just don’t want to be involved,” she added. “Play with yourself, don’t play with me.”

The blowup comes less than a week after another Lamar story surfaced on the show, when Kris Jenner and Khloe Kardashian said they walked in on a Lamar Odom ‘orgy’ while searching for him during the height of his substance abuse.

Khloe and Lamar got married in 2009, just one month after meeting at a party for his then-Lakers teammate Metta World Peace. She even took his name, going by Khloe Kardashian Odom.

The couple appeared together on Keeping Up with the Kardashians, and in 2011 they got their own spinoff, Khloe & Lamar, which ran for two seasons.

Behind the scenes, Lamar’s drug and alcohol use escalated during the marriage. In October 2015, he was found unconscious at the Love Ranch, a brothel in Las Vegas, after using cocaine in the days before.

He went on to suffer multiple heart attacks and strokes, as well as kidney failure, and spent three days in a coma.

At the time, Khloe and Lamar had already signed their divorce papers three months earlier, but a judge had not yet approved the split.

Khloe withdrew her divorce filing later that October so she could help make medical decisions for Lamar during his recovery. Eleven years later, she says she’s done with him for good.

The added songs extend a project whose earlier rollout included “99%,” “UR HEARTBEAT (WHO DO U THINK ABOUT AT 2 AM?),” “AIN’T U TIRED” featuring Muni Long, and “N.Y.F.F.” Those singles introduced different sides of the album, from reflective songwriting to a sharper rap-sung approach. The deluxe tracks include both hard-hitting songs and more melodic material.

Reyez’s A LITTLE VENGEANCE TOUR began in Seattle on November 3 and has since visited Sacramento, Oakland, San Diego, Los Angeles, and Phoenix. The scheduled dates continue in Houston on November 12, followed by Dallas on November 13, Chicago on November 16, Washington, D.C., on November 18, Brooklyn on November 19, Boston on November 22, and Toronto on November 24.

Reyez also launched the Jessie Reyez Fund with nonprofit partner PLUS1. It aims to expand access to music-industry opportunities for women and historically underrepresented communities, and to support music-focused work in education, well-being, cultural connection, and preservation. The effort has included a Nando’s partnership that resulted in 500 donated meals. Earlier this year, Reyez performed “Illuminate” with Elyanna at the FIFA World Cup 2026 Opening Ceremony in Toronto. In October, she joined a concert at London’s Roundhouse marking the 20th anniversary of Amy Winehouse’s Back to Black, performing “Rehab.”
