Laura Loomer Gets Pentagon Credentials!

The loudest voice gets heard and the squeaky wheel gets the grease. Laura Loomer is credentialed to report on Department of War news from the Pentagon. All of the above are true and all of the above are annoying. So much to take issue with but we are thankful that Donald Trump is President and not Kamala or any other Democrat so we will take the bad with the great.

The Washington Post had the news about Loomer last night: “Laura Loomer is now credentialed to cover the Pentagon”. Take a moment and re-center yourself. The article begins:

Laura Loomer, the far-right political activist and former congressional candidate in Florida, has been credentialed to cover the Defense Department, according to one person familiar with the matter, joining a new cohort of right-wing media that have agreed to the Pentagon’s new press policy.

Despite the walking out, gnashing of teeth and general, toddler-like behavior, the new Department of War rules for correspondents just don’t seem that onerous. Wear your badge. Don’t solicit criminal acts. Kinda makes you wonder what the heck was going on over at the Pentagon.

All those reporters walking out in a snit left room for more credentialed reporters. In walks Miss Loomer.

Loomer’s addition to the Pentagon’s press corps comes as the department has overhauled its media policies. Journalists covering the Pentagon walked out of the building en masse last month, in response to a new department press policy that prohibited them from soliciting any information not made available by the government.

Dozens of news outlets, including The Washington Post, the New York Times, CNN and Fox News, refused to sign the policy that many called a threat to press freedom. Out of the outlets that made up the day-to-day Pentagon press corps, only One America News, a right-wing cable network, agreed to sign.

The Pentagon unveiled a new press corps last month, consisting largely of far-right media publications, including the Gateway Pundit, the Post Millennial, and LindellTV — MyPillow founder Mike Lindell’s streaming service — along with independent journalists and online influencers. These publications, which have signed or signaled they will sign the agreement, have not previously covered the Pentagon in person on a regular basis.

Loomer and the Defense Department did not immediately respond to request for comment. The White House declined to comment.

Loomer’s social media posts have presaged the firings of several Trump officials, and she has often bragged that she “Loomered” them, using her slang term for such conquests. But some in the administration have suggested Loomer overplays her influence by only offering a preview of actions that were already imminent.

“But some in the administration have suggested Loomer overplays her influence by only offering a preview of actions that were already imminent.” Yeah, so why do you guys keep falling for her duper’s delight?

I wrote this in a Victory Girls’ post last New Year’s Eve:

Every once in a while, the media introduces someone, and you listen, because that someone is saying things that kind of align with how you think. Quickly though, you realize that particular someone is a desperate, attention-seeking, fame ho clinging to a movement for relevance. Ladies and gentlemen, let me introduce you to Laura Loomer, central casting’s grade A example of a desperate, attention-seeking fame ho. Hopefully, her fame clock is running down.

Not running down yet I guess.

I wouldn’t mess with Roger Stone, fyi.

In the following case, Laura Loomer and MTG are both fruit loop city.

Well, are crazy women aren’t as dangerous as the Dems crazy women. Except for Miss Loomer. She’s not complaining about Sikh’s, is she?

More from the WaPo article:

Loomer, who once handcuffed herself to the door of Twitter’s New York City office after the company banned her from the platform, maintains a personal website called Loomered and dubs herself an “investigative journalist, activist, and truth-teller” who has made enemies in Silicon Valley and in the media.

Loomer has built her semi-celebrity status online largely through feats of viral attention. Since 2017, when she was banned from Uber and Lyft for an online rant about “Islamic immigrant” drivers, she has styled herself as a free-speech warrior whom online platforms have unfairly mistreated and undermined.

She’s called herself “anti-Islam” and has referred to immigrants of all kinds as “invaders.” She has been thwarted for jobs in Trump’s orbit — on the campaign trail and in the White House — on “four separate occasions,” she previously said in an interview with The Post, saying that various Trump White House staffers and advisers have “contempt” for her.

I hope Trump and Hegseth distance themselves from her soon. Many of us have contempt for her.

  • Laura Loomer – always bombastic, and frequently wrong.

    Previous Pentagon “journalists” – always bombastic, and always wrong (except when providing military intelligence to our enemies).

    Which one should annoy ME more?
