A recent report by the media establishment hacks over at NBC News is trying to convince the country that the Department of Homeland Security, which is in charge of the U.S. Coast Guard, were a bunch of big, mean jerks on Tuesday when they booted a former Coast Guard Commandant, Linda Fagan, from what is being referred to as “her home” after allegedly only providing her with three-hour notice.
According to one of Fagan’s “allies” “It’s petty and it’s personal.”
You see, what they buried in the second paragraph of their story on the eviction is that Trump actually fired Fagan, who is a four-start admiral, from her position back on Jan. 21.
However, NBC made sure to take the nugget of truth that completely flips the narrative here on its head, way down in the seventh paragraph. There, NBC shares an unnamed DHS official’s quote who describes what Fagan was doing at the home as basically squatting.
“She was terminated with cause two weeks ago today, and she was still living in those admiral quarters,” the unnamed official stated.
NBC also cited a source who claimed that the Coast Guard itself had given Fagan a 60-day waiver. In other words, the source insisted, against all logic, that a person who no longer functioned as the head of an organization nonetheless had permission to continue living in a residence set aside for the person who did function in that capacity. But the most incredible part was yet to come. On Tuesday afternoon, DHS officials allegedly told Fagan to vacate the residence within three hours and to leave it unlocked. They wanted to photograph the inside.
Fagan’s response captured the essence of bureaucratic hubris. “I do not authorize them to come into my house, whether I’m there or not,” she told a Coast Guard official. “My house,” she said. Incredible. Meanwhile, on the social media platform X, DHS Assistant Secretary for Public Affairs Tricia McLaughlin took both Fagan and especially NBC behind the proverbial woodshed.
“-@NBC calls US Coast Guard Admiral Quarters ‘her house’ not American taxpayers,” McLaughlin wrote in a point-by-point rebuttal of the piece. McLaughlin then pointed out that NBC took the critical bit of information about Fagan being fired on Jan. 21 to the seventh paragraph.
Moreover, McLaughlin denied the existence of the purported-yet-impossible-to-believe “60-day waiver.” She also referred to an “alleged sexual assault coverup” under Fagan, as well as “general incompetence.”
“Oh & maybe they should mention that she was given another place to live paid for by the US government,” McLaughlin finished.
What really makes steam blow out of my ears is how our taxpayer dollars paid for her housing after being fired due to her refusal to leave. Sounds like a case for DOGE, right?
“In light of the shocking revelations that X owner Elon Musk and his team at the Department of Government Efficiency have made public in recent days, one wonders if either Fagan or NBC has received funding from the propaganda-focused, CIA-adjacent USAID. After all, that sinister organization has funded left-wing Politico and reportedly other ‘news’ outlets,” the WJ report stated.
The bottom line here is that Fagan’s hubris is representative of that shared by most liberals who work within the government. And that’s why they are throwing a fit over Musk and DOGE digging through records.
