Beijing’s expanding military poses a “significant threat” to the United States and the Pentagon is not ready for a conflict with China, according to a new report by the Government Accountability Office. “Today, China has transformed what was an obsolete military into one that can challenge the U.S. military across the spectrum of conventional and unconventional capabilities,” the GAO said in a report made public this week. Key weaknesses identified by the congressional watchdog agency include military readiness shortfalls, force mobility problems and supply chain issues needed for new F-35 warplanes.(Snip)Other problems identified by GAO include vulnerabilities in weapons systems that can be exploited by Chinese cyberattacks,

USA has the most LGBTQ+ friendly, might highly vaccinated social justice force the world has ever seen, And we have no interest in securing our borders or even pretending to keep our taxpayer-funded technology secret because it's good for business to keep developing new weapons.

Who has time for war when they are so busy ignoring the border, trying to figure out which of the 273 sexes they are, and refusing the advances of perverts without causing offense? Thats for the ones that manage to survive the covid shots. I'm sure they have teams working on a camo rainbow flag. The military was bad when I retired. So bad I retired on the first day I was eligible. Its hard to believe, but I dodged a bullet. Its worse now.

Oh yeah! Well I bet China doesn't have nice maternity uniforms or diversity training. I bet they don't have equity for all or remove qualified soldiers due to Covid shots. Bet they're not afraid of the USA military anymore due to our idiot leaders.

This White House is ill prepared for anything, let alone a war with anyone! The jerk in the outhouse Oval only knows where to find a potty and new diapers as he sits at the same chair/desk scene since forever so that he can quickly disappear behind the strange colored curtain. I guess they just can't afford having poop pants sit in the regular chair in the Oval because they would have to change everything from curtains to furniture because of the incompetent's stench!

the conversation concerning going to war or not going to war is a conversation the kind of which we shouldn't even have to broach, it was this fool, diapers, who has intentionally brought our country to this point in which we are having this dialogue - a bigger, more incompetent fool has never held the title he has, which, as we all know was stolen from a man who truly deserved to President of the United States. - a pox on diapers house and all those who have facilitated, are and will be facilitating him in his quest to destroy our country.

Our military didn't get into this state in one years' time. 20 years of ground combat. Loss of manufacturing. Outsourcing. Arrogance, a sense of superiority, complacency, incompetence, inefficiency, wokeness, lowering standards, and on and on. Frankly, I saw warning signs back when I was on active duty under Daddy Bush. After the fall of the Soviet Union, the US was the undisputed and unchallenged lone global superpower. 30 plus years of all of the above has taken its toll. Instead of building up the military and R&D, we spent trillions on covid relief, bogus infrastructure, TARP bail outs and Recovery Summer.

Hint to Xi, land amphibious forces south of Tijuana and cross the border with the thousands of illegal immigrants. Soldiers should wear shorts and T-shirts and grow a mustache. The US will probably fly you to your city of destination from there. For the first time in history we are on the way to losing a war with China.

An FDNY union leader wants the department to investigate whether three recent firefighter deaths resulted from city-mandated COVID-19 jabs. The request from Uniformed Fire Officers Association President Jim McCarthy comes the line-of-duty deaths of Lt. Joseph Maiello, 53, who was found dead in a Staten Island firehouse after a Christmas shift, and Firefighter Jesse Gerhard, 33, who died at his firehouse in Far Rockaway after a medical episode Wednesday.

Homeland Security announced the departure of the last Afghan evacuees from military bases on U.S. soil Saturday, saying 76,000 of them have been processed and released into American communities. A base in New Jersey became the last to shut down its migrant camp, ending a critical period in the evacuation efforts just a week shy of the six-month mark of the end of the chaotic airlift that accompanied the end of U.S. operations in Afghanistan. Officials are now looking to set up a new location to handle future Afghans who are able to make it out of their home country and who are deemed to be eligible for resettlement

Scottish health officials will no longer release figures on Covid deaths and hospitalisations by vaccination status as it does now, complaining that anti-vaxers are misusing the data. Public Health Scotland (PHS), the Scottish equivalent of the UK Health Security Agency (formerly Public Health England) believes that “[t]he case rates, hospitalisation rates, the death rates are very simple statistics” and that anti-vaxers are misreading them “inappropriately and sometimes wilfully”. “What is happening is people are looking at those simple data and trying to make inferences about the vaccination, whether the vaccines work, inappropriately and sometimes wilfully,” one technocrat at the Special National Health Service (NHS) Health Board complained

Oops, White House press secretary Jen Psaki did it again, this time blaming the rise in anti-Asian hate crimes on “the hate-filled rhetoric and language around the origins of the pandemic”—meaning, of course, it’s Trump’s fault again. The absurdity is obvious since the prompt for Psaki’s gaslighting was Sunday’s slaying of Christina Yuna Lee in Manhattan. Caught at the scene was homeless career criminal Assamad Nash. This follows last month’s fatal subway-shoving of Michelle Alyssa Go by another drifter, also suffering serious mental illness. Neither perp fits the core “listens to Donald Trump” demographic, to put it mildly.

Babacar Mbaye, 34, was arrested Thursday after the unprovoked broad-daylight attack at 46th Street and Seventh Avenue at the Crossroads of the World, the NYPD said. The brute allegedly hit the child at around 3:20 p.m. as the area bustled with pedestrians enjoying an unseasonably warm afternoon.

So far, Justin Trudeau’s invocation of the Emergencies Act hasn’t yielded any overt scenes of state power; no clouds of tear gas or columns of troops being marched into the capital. But it’s very different story within the Canadian financial sector. One of the most far-reaching implications of the Emergencies Act is what it prescribes for the Canadian financial system. According to the government’s new Emergency Economic Measures Order, every single bank, credit union, investment broker and insurance provider in the country has been deputized to figure out if they have a blockader as a client, and to immediately freeze their accounts if so.

We shouldn’t be surprised that Hillary Clinton would continue to double down in the face of a mushrooming scandal. This has always been her strategy in handling such situations, and heaven knows she’s had plenty of experience. Whitewater? Pfft! Nothing to see here. Travelgate? Just a vast right-wing conspiracy. Benghazi? What difference could it possibly make? Hillary has survived more scandals than perhaps any politician in history, so her current hubris might be somewhat expected. But the goings-on with the Durham Probe is different. Hillary’s current hot water isn’t like the other cauldrons she’s been in.
