A Tomb Guard from the U.S. Army’s 3rd Infantry Regiment, “The Old Guard” was forced to verbally reprimand Secretary of Defense Pete Hegseth and a group of his senior advisers Wednesday after some in the group laughed and loudly talked in front of the Tomb of the Unknown Soldier at Arlington. Video of the incident, posted by CNN, shows Hegseth standing and taking photos in front of the tomb with his wife, Jennifer, chief of staff Ricky Buria, deputy chief of staff Patrick Weaver as well as senior adviser and deputy assistant Tami Radabaugh, following a ceremony at Arlington National Cemetery for Veterans Day.

I just met with Senator John Cornyn. He has served our state honorably, and I’m grateful for his advice and guidance.  Now is the time for us to come together — Democrats and Republicans — to deliver for Texas.

As someone who spent most of my growing up years in Denton County, was very excited to share my All Denton County NBA Team on Friday’s broadcast when Lewisville’s Keynote George was here. And two more here in the next two nights, Julius Randle w/ the Nets tonight (630p CST) and Pascal Siakam w/ the Pacers tomorrow.
