Hung Cao, the new acting Navy Secretary seems to believe there is lots of witchcraft in California.
Fer fuck sake. Yeah, sure. Why not.
CRACKPOT! Trump’s new acting Navy Secretary is a bona fide religious nutcase who believes "witches" are taking over California!
In a resurfaced interview, Hung Cao, the man Pete Hegseth just installed to lead the entire United States Navy, once ranted that Monterey, California has become a “very dark place with a lot of witchcraft” because the Wiccan community has supposedly “really taken over there.” Uhh... yeah, sure buddy...
He complained that “Lover’s Point” used to be called “Lovers of Christ Point” until “they took out the Christ,” then warned the same thing could spread to Virginia (where he lives) and called for mobilizing “Christians across the nation.”
This is who is now in charge of the U.S. Navy in 2026 during a war.

Since Hegs installed him.
Fuck the Nazi Shit for bains. 
Wonder how the Navy sailors feel about this? 
Pretty sure the witches and wizards are taking over the Navy too...
JK. How did he get to rank of Captain with those beliefs though?
Did a quick search and according to DuckAI he served as a captain and specialized in explosive ordnance disposal and salvage diving. He participated in operational deployments in Iraq, Afghanistan, and Somalia before retiring in 2021.
While serving as a Navy diver, Hung Cao suffered a serious diving-related incident that caused oxygen deprivation and brain injury; he has spoken publicly about experiencing permanent effects from that injury.
Could be just a coincidence or might explain strange thinking. He could have thought that way before, who knows? I only did a very shallow search. Have not looked for his public statement on the injury.
When the city of Pacific Grove incorporated in 1889, they dropped the Jesus., and became known as Lovers Point.
Them witches have been causing mayhem for a hundred and forty years! 
Well, sure, if Hung Cao (like "cow"? really?) says so
At first I thought this was The Onion riffing on Biggus Dickus or something -- I mean, another thing that explains this is if the timeline is scripted by a Cosmic Terry Gilliam. Not saying I believe it, but if I were to theorize that such a being existed, I'd count this as additional evidence, put it in the big pile over there with the others, thanks, oh do mind the pointy bits.

Wicca good
and loves the earth
and women's power
And I'll be over here”
