(Daily Caller)—Republican Texas Rep. Dan Crenshaw said he is ready to “tear apart” Republican Alabama Sen. Tommy Tuberville over his ongoing hold on the confirmation of the Pentagon’s military nominees, Politico reported on Friday.
Tuberville has successfully blocked the confirmations of over 300 military nominees in the Senate since February out of protest of the Pentagon’s abortion policy, which funds female service members’ travel while seeking an out-of-state abortion. Crenshaw expressed his frustration with Tuberville’s blockade and feared “worsening consequences” in a text exchange with Republican allies, according to Politico.
“[I am] at a point where I’m going to tear apart (if asked) coach/Senator/non-veteran Tuberville for personally attacking service members who have spent almost 30 years serving our country,” Crenshaw said in a text exchange. “I don’t know what outcome he expected, but I’m hearing more and more that his actions are having worsening consequences.

Navy Adm. Lisa Franchetti said that Tuberville’s hold will take the military “years to recover” from if not lifted soon, during her confirmation hearing on Thursday. Franchetti is currently nominated for the Chief of Naval operations position but will only be able to fill the role as in an acting capacity due to the blockade.
Democratic Massachusetts Sen. Elizabeth Warren said during Franchetti’s confirmation that Tuberville’s hold will cause disruptions in Navy operations at every level, and further strain the branch’s recruiting crisis.
“The price our nation will pay for the reckless behavior of Senator Tuberville will reach far into the future,” Warren said.
Tuberville contends that his blockade is not hurting military effectiveness, and is solely intended to target service members at the highest levels. Tuberville also noted that Majority Leader Chuck Schumer could hold individual confirmation votes, which he has thus far refused to do.
Tuberville told Franchetti during Thursday’s confirmation hearing that he looks forward to seeing her in the Navy and encouraged her to put politics aside in her new role.
“I know you can do that job – I’m looking forward to it,” Tuberville told Franchetti.
Crenshaw and Tuberville did not immediately respond to a request for comment.

Why One Survival Food Company Shines Above the Rest
Let’s be real. “Prepper Food” or “Survival Food” is generally awful. The vast majority of companies that push their cans, bags, or buckets desperately hope that their customers never try them and stick them in the closet or pantry instead. Why? Because if the first time they try them is after the crap hits the fan, they’ll be too shaken to call and complain about the quality.
It’s true. Most long-term storage food is made with the cheapest possible ingredients with limited taste and even less nutritional value. This is why they tout calories so much. Sure, they provide calories but does anyone really want to go into the apocalypse with food their family can’t stand?
This is what prompted the Llewellyns to launch Heaven’s Harvest. They bought survival food from multiple companies and determined they couldn’t imagine being stuck in an extended emergency with such low-quality food. They quickly discovered that freeze drying food for long-term storage doesn’t have to mean sacrificing flavor, consistency, or nutrition.
Their ingredients are all-American. In fact, they’re locally sourced and all-natural! This allows their products to be the highest quality on the market, so good that their customers often break open a bag in a pinch to eat because they want to, not just because they have to due to an emergency.
At Heaven’s Harvest, their only focus is amazing food. They don’t sell bugout bags, solar chargers, or multitools. They have one mission – feeding Americans in times of crisis.
What they DO offer is the ability for people to thrive in times of greatest need. On top of long-term storage food, they offer seeds to help Americans for the truly long-term. They want them to grow their own food if possible which is why they offer only Heirloom, Non-GMO, Non-Hybrid, Open-Pollinated seeds so their customers can build permanent food security on their own property.

Cyclops should mind his manners, I voted for Tuberville . Dan’s a pantywaist.
Very nice comment.
Crenshaw’s a Texas RINO.
Crenshaw is a filthy maggot lowlife and the Navy has been in the SEWER for quite some time:
USS Connecticut Incident
USS Bonhomme Richard Destruction – 34 officers including 4 ot 5 admirals, should have been court–martialed, but none were; NCIS personnel involved should all have been court–martialed or fired, involved ATF personnel should all have been terminated!
And too many other examples – I applaud Sen. Tommy, far too many communists already in the services and Franchetti IS NOT QUALIFIED to comment!
Texas deserves better!
The communist generals and admirals can spend their free time now on Chicom surveillance balloon watch . . .
Beyond the comments on Crenshaw (being ex-military doesn’t make you smart on military matters as I witnessed in my time in the military), I am surprised at the outcry that our military cannot recover from such actions as those by Tuberville. First off, an acting commander can still command. In war if the commander is killed, then the XO takes over. Am I missing something? Also, for Colonels not getting promoted, there was, at least in the Army, a process call “frocking.” The Colonel would get to wear the star while waiting for Congressional approval, if placed in an assignment “requiring” a general officer to fill it. In short, there are so many work arounds already in place that all the “woe is me” stuff is theater by the libs not getting their way. P.S. I love Texas, but they sure elect some foul balls with distressing frequency.
Sure wish Crenshaw would show the same attention to the J6 patriots’ imprisonment at the DC Gulag and the false imprisonment of ENRIQUE TARRIO?!

Is Franchetti the real deal, or another Navy drag queen?????
https://thefederalist.com/2023/09/15/navy-puts-the-kibosh-on-digital-recruiting-program-after-discovering-enlistees-arent-into-drag-queens/
Congress needs to invite maggot Crenshaw to daily committee hearings where they call ALL the Joint Chiefs and Gilday and the heads of all the military service academies before them, weekly, to explain ALL THIS DRAG QUEEN SHOW CUH–RAP!!!
Crenshaw is a WASTE OF SKIN RINO………Texas needs to get rid of him. It didn’t take him long at all to fall in with the rest of the establishment RINO’s after lying to the public about where he stood on issues prior to his election.
Phuck you ONE-EYED McCain
One-Eyed McCain. Gitmo for you too.
I think Tommy can take crenshaw…..
dan looks like he’s in distress…do we need to call him a waaambulance
