[:50] – The song, “Send in the Clowns,” ends with the line, “They’re already here.” Indeed.
One of the most clownish questions at Tuesday’s confirmation hearing for Pete Hegseth was spewed by Democrat Sen. Jack Reed, who wanted Pete to explain what a “jagoff” is.
Hegseth: “I don’t think I need to.”
Reed: “Why not?”
Hegseth: “Because the men and women watching understand.”
Reed: “Well, perhaps some of my colleagues don’t understand.”
Hegseth: “It would be a JAG officer who puts his or her own priorities in front of the war fighters. Their promotions, their medals in front of having the backs of those that are making the tough calls on the front lines.”
According to entomologists, “jag-off” has its roots in Pittsburgh, where it means “a person who is a jerk, stupid or inept.” The similar sounding term – “jack off” (aka, “jerk off “) – has its roots elsewhere and usually refers to someone who masturbates excessively. At least in Pittsburgh, “jag-off” does not have the obscene connotation that “jack off” and “jerk off” have.
I couldn’t say for sure whether or not the men and women of the U.S. military use the terms interchangeably or not. But I’m guessing perhaps not. I’m also guessing Reed knows this and was trying to make Hegseth uncomfortable.
M.D. Kittle at The Federalist summarized perfectly. “The moment perfectly encapsulated what the Democrat Party is in 2025, a year before America’s 250th birthday: Out of touch, out of power, out of their heads. A bunch of jagoffs.”
