Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth's top henchman in the Department of Defense sparked fury on Sunday after he made a damning admission about President Donald Trump's war against Iran on social media.

The Washington Post reported earlier in the day that several of the military's top leaders have sent Hegseth "non-concurring" orders, or statements letting the secretary know that they disagree with an order. The order that received the most recent batch of non-concurring orders was Hegseth's directive to maintain the 50,000-troop threshold in the Middle East that the U.S. has amassed in its fight against Iran, a level that generals described as "unsustainable," according to the report.

Insiders who spoke with the Post said the non-concurring orders appeared in Hegseth's Aug. 14 Secretary of Defense Orders Book, a classified document.

Sean Parnell, chief Pentagon spokesperson and a senior adviser to Hegseth, posted on X that publishing classified information like what the Post obtained "is a crime," even though the Supreme Court said otherwise in U.S. v. Nixon. He added that "non-concurs are standard" and that "the Secretary sees them constantly," two claims that raised the eyebrows of political analysts and military experts.

"That’s how you run a real military," Parnell wrote in his post. "We are in great shape around the world. This story isn’t about readiness. It’s [Trump Derangement Syndrome] and [Pete Derangement Syndrome] — they hate President Trump and Secretary Hegseth more than they love America."

Reactions poured in online.

"Whiskey @PeteHegseth's chief propagandist says 'we' are doing great, which makes you wonder why Whiskey Pete got his a-- handed to him by Iran and why people are jumping off aircraft carriers?" Marcy Wheeler, a journalist who goes by "EmptyWheel" online, posted on X. "When will these boys get their d---- out of their hands and start honoring the service members ... or better yet, quit and let someone competent take over?"

"How is it that Parnell has not heard of the Pentagon Papers case? Attacking the media for publishing this information shows a shocking degree of historical and legal ignorance," John Jackson, a military veteran, posted on X.

"In the Pentagon Papers case, the Supreme Court ruled that it is legal to publish top-secret info and that the free press has a responsibility to do so to prevent the government from deceiving the public, especially during wartime," Craig Whitlock, an investigative journalist at The Washington Post, wrote on X.

"Well, I guess that's confirmation of the story," Tom Nichols, a national security expert, posted on X.

Fans of President Donald Trump's Make America Great Again movement came unglued on Sunday after a Democratic governor unveiled what they described as a "literal biblical curse" at a public event.

New York Gov. Kathy Hochul spoke to a group of Muslim men at the Islamic Cultural Center in New York over the weekend. During the event, Hochul stood on stage wearing a hijab, a common way for people to honor Muslim customs and etiquette. The move caused a stir among the MAGA faithful, many of whom accused Hochul of siding with a foreign government.

Several of the MAGA faithful reacted to a video of the event that circulated on social media on Sunday.

"Regular reminder that being ruled by women and foreigners is literally a biblical curse," Auron MacIntyre, a columnist at The Blaze, posted on X.

"Governor Kathy Hochul is wearing a hijab yet again," Benny Johnson, a MAGA influencer, posted on X. "If suicidal empathy had a poster child, it would be her."

"New Yorkers: The number one reason you should (sic) Republican! Shameful! Pandering!" Leo Terrell, a senior counsel at the Department of Justice and a former Fox News contributor, posted on X.

"Good God. This is embarrassing," Gina Milan, a MAGA influencer, posted on X.

During his speech at NASA’s Johnson Space Center in Texas on Friday, President Donald Trump’s entire body twitched in a manner that one forensic psychologist argued was consistent with what’s known as a focal aware seizure or a partial seizure.

John Paul Garrison, a Georgia-based clinical and forensic psychologist, analyzed footage of Trump’s speech in a video published Saturday that he called “the most concerning footage” of the president he had analyzed yet.

“For the past few months, I have been showing various neurological concerns and some steep signs of decline from President Trump, but what we're going to start with today is extremely concerning,” Garrison said.

Captured during Trump’s remarks at a Congressional Space Medal of Honor presentation in Houston, Texas, the footage shows Trump boasting about the stock market's performance. While speaking, Trump briefly pauses mid-sentence as his body twitches.

“What you just observed was a distinct and concerning neurological event, and you got to watch it cross both hemispheres in his brain — I'll explain what I mean,” Garrison said, noting that his analysis was strictly his own opinion.

“You saw his right arm jerk, and then you saw him blink, you heard his voice hesitate, and then you saw his left arm jerk. You literally watched it travel across his brain. To be very clear, these were not simple muscle spasms; this is not something related to pain — you don't see any pain on his face. You actually watch it travel from one arm, to his eyes, to his voice, to his left arm.”

Garrison went on to allege that Trump may have suffered from a focal aware seizure, an epileptic event that tends to be “less severe than generalized seizures” and is usually brief.

“Now, what this is very consistent with is something that we see in people that have had strokes called a focal aware seizure or a focal motor seizure, and this can be focused in one part in the brain, and occasionally, it can spread to both parts of the brain,” Garrison said.

“I'm not insisting that's what's going on with him, but it is clearly something neurological, whether it's post-stroke or something else.”
