PERFECT MAN

Have no fear of perfection - you'll never reach it. - Salvador Dali
The words life and file anagrams.
Irony.
File. One definition is autobiography, biography.
That sort of file, on life, possible thanks to ability unique to humans - language and record of language.
That is, past man left record for present man to read, learn from, and advance. Accordingly, present man will leave record for future man. Etc.
Man is imperfect.
More irony is an imperfect being invented the idea of perfect; never able to achieve said state.
I am about three quarters through 'Confronting the Presidents' by Bill O'Reilly and Martin Dugard.
Nonfiction look at each of our chief executives - George Washington through Joe Biden.
Sources?
Files - personal correspondence, diaries, government records, et al.
The macro executive summary?
Presidents, to date all men, are imperfect.
None will ever be considered for sainthood.
They are as flawed as any man; strengths, weaknesses, biases, quirks, corrupt, etc.
The presidents of our days carry on as their predecessors.
All susceptible to the joys and tragedies of life; files disclose.
Early this morning it was 24 degrees when stepping off for morning walk.
Under red watchcap earbud in right.
A President's man the topic.
Megyn Kelly recently interviewed President Trump's nominee for Secretary of Defense - Pete Hegseth.
Hegseth answered the opening question saying he recently met with President Trump and the President said, "Pete, you're going to have to be tough as shit."
Questions about allegations concerning personal life, professional life, alcohol use, finances, and more followed.
Hegseth's answers straightforward.
He confessed to being an imperfect man.
Nothing heard reached the level of imperfection of long dead Presidents and those alive.
In fact, some of those imperfect Presidents rose to their duties while others a sore.
An imperfect tough as shit re-elected President has tapped an imperfect man to be our Defense Secretary.
Perfect man?
Does not exist.
Pete Hegseth?
A tough as shit proven combat leader determined to reset the Pentagon on warfighting.
Man, perfect!

I'm fairly confident Pete Hegseth will remember to notify his whereabouts to the NCA when undergoing a several day long medical procedure. He will be just what the Doctor ordered!
