Woke army introduces new easier combat
fitness test that swaps tough leg tucks
for planks and lowers standards across
the board to be more inclusive for women
Posted By: Ribicon, 3/24/2022 1:28:10 AM
As the world braces for a Third Word War, the U.S. Army is lowering its fitness standards to be 'more inclusive'. The Army is changing several of its fitness test exercises including the dreaded leg tucks in favor of planks because about half of all female soldiers were unable to complete the exercise. The new Army Combat Fitness Test, ACFT, which is comprised of six-exercises, also slashes the number of push-ups from 30 to ten, reduces the power throw distance by two thirds and gives more time to finish the two-mile run.(Snip)Under Donald Trump, a tough gender-neutral ACFT test was suggested but a trial found

Crime is running rampant throughout Manhattan’s key commercial neighborhoods—and local business leaders are banding together to demand help from Gov. Kathy Hochul. Crime across Manhattan’s Midtown South district has spiked by more than 50% year to date—wreaking havoc across a crucial corridor for commuters and shoppers alike that includes Penn Station, Grand Central Terminal and the Port Authority Bus Terminal, police data show. Meanwhile, grand larceny is up 45% on the Upper East Side, which encompasses prime shopping strips on Madison, Lexington and Third avenues between East 57th and East 86th streets. Organized rings of shoplifters who are targeting high-end boutiques are a key driver of the spike
It was a minor boost. A fourth shot of the Pfizer COVID vaccine increased protection against viral infection for only four to seven weeks, according to a massive study published Tuesday. The study included 1.25 million people age 60 and over in Israel who received their fourth dose between January and March. Israel only uses the Pfizer vaccine. People who got the fourth dose were half as likely to test positive for COVID four weeks later when compared to people who only had three doses, according to the study. But by the eighth week, the groups were almost equally likely to catch COVID, researchers found.
The $6 million Los Angeles mansion purchased by the country’s top Black Lives Matter group sold for 250 percent more than the price of similar properties in its Studio City neighborhood, and went for $2.7 million more than property records show. Records state that the property initially sold for $3.1 million in October 2020, but by the time it was transferred to a shell company controlled by Black Lives Matter Global Network Foundation days later, the price had increased to $5.8 million. It’s unclear what caused the discrepancy. A spokesman for BLMGNF could not be reached for comment Wednesday.(Snip)BLMGNF paid in cash for the mansion,
The worse the border surge, the more it will hurt other immigrants trying to come to the country legally by delaying their applications, a top Homeland Security official told Congress on Wednesday. Ur Jaddou, director of U.S. Citizenship and Immigration Services, said their goal is to keep the hiccups as small as possible, but said deploying her personnel to the border to handle people claiming asylum will “take a toll” on the ability to handle other applications. “Will they have to put aside some other work? Yes, potentially, depending on how large or how small,” she said.(Snip)Homeland Security is bracing for a massive surge of illegal immigrants next month
The Walt Disney Co. has named Kristina Schake as its new lead spokesperson. The political operative who worked as an aide in the Obama White House and again as deputy communications director for Hillary Clinton’s 2016 campaign will start immediately. The appointment comes after President Joe Biden tapped Schake last year to lead the coronavirus vaccination campaign at the Department of Health and Human Services, where she was counselor to secretary for strategic communications.(Snip)Schake also co-founded the American Foundation for Equal Rights, which challenged the state’s ban on same sex marriage and was ultimately overturned with a Supreme Court decision in 2013.
Roy P. Disney, the grand-nephew of Disneyland founder Walt Disney, jumped Tuesday into the feud between Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis and the Disney empire with a fundraising plea in which he disclosed that he has a transgender child. Mr. Disney, whose grandfather Roy O. Disney founded the company with his brother Walt, said in a fundraising pitch for the Human Rights Campaign that he was “heartbroken” over the Florida bill barring schools from discussing gender identity and sexual orientation with students in grades K-3.
“My wife, Sheri, and I have been members of HRC for over 20 years,” said Mr. Disney in the email. “Equality matters deeply to us,

Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene accused senators voting to confirm Supreme Court nominee Judge Ketanji Brown Jackson of being “pro-pedophile” after the judge came under fire in her confirmation hearing from conservatives for some of her sentences of child pornography offenders. The Georgia Republican took to Twitter Tuesday night after the Senate voted to move forward with the confirmation vote, which is expected to occur Thursday. “Any Senator voting to confirm #KJB is pro-pedophile just like she is,” the lawmaker tweeted. “There are MANY more qualified black women judges, that actually can define what a woman is, but Biden chose the one that protects evil child predators.”
A referee needed 30 stitches after being brutally attacked by a bunch of eighth-graders at a youth basketball game in Georgia, according to TMZ. The mayhem was captured on video Sunday at the “Love Of The Game” event at the Stronghold Christian Church. TMZ reported that multiple players from one team and spectators at the game appeared to chase the referee before pinning him to the floor, punching and kicking him. Kenneth Tarver, the founder of KB Sports, which helped host the youth tournament in Lithonia (about 30 minutes from Atlanta), said he doesn’t know what caused the incident.(Snip)“The referee appears outnumbered from the very start,
A church in suburban Chicago said it is “fasting from whiteness” during Lent, the 40-day period preceding Easter—by abstaining from performing hymns composed or written by white musicians. First United Church of Oak Park announced on its website that it “is doing a mix of ‘giving something up’ and ‘taking something on.’ “In our worship services throughout Lent, we will not be using any music or liturgy written or composed by white people. Our music will be drawn from the African American spirituals tradition, from South African freedom songs, from Native American traditions, and many, many more,” it said.(Snip)The house of worship also erected a “Fasting from
An unhinged vagrant is making life miserable for merchants and residents in Manhattan’s Gramercy Park neighborhood with his outrageous behavior—as Mayor Eric Adams was publicly confronted Tuesday by a homeless woman who demanded that he “do something” for people living on the streets. The Post watched the Gramercy Park homeless man spend about 45 minutes Tuesday morning wandering the neighborhood, muttering to himself and waving his hands over his head in between getting barred from entering three businesses.(Snip)

One of the men who opened fire on a crowd of people in Sacramento early Sunday morning, killing six, was a career criminal who was released from prison in February just four years into a 10-year sentence for felony gun and robbery convictions, reports said.
The decision, made by California's Department of Corrections, was even made over the strenuous objections of the Sacramento County District Attorney's Office, which submitted a letter saying that the man 'displayed a pattern of criminal behavior' and posed a 'significant' danger to the community. Smiley Martin, 27, was arrested on Tuesday morning, and remains in a local hospital where he was recovering
The Irish poet W.B. Yeats wrote of sailing to an imagined Byzantium because his was “no country for old men.” The pandemic has proven that the United States is no country for the young. A new Centers for Disease Control study reveals how badly teens have suffered from COVID policies—that the CDC itself pushed.(Snip)Now we learn that the isolation and anxiety that accompanied school shutdowns have taken a heavy toll on adolescents. The CDC found that more than a third of US high-school students reported poor mental health during the pandemic. Nearly half—44%—said they felt sad or hopeless. A horrifying near-20% said

Barack Obama was at the White House yesterday, making it clear, as did others at the reception held in Obama’s honor, that Biden’s presidency is over. Watching Obama suck the oxygen out of the room made me wonder if Obama is planning a comeback, something he can easily do. (snip) The reception in Obama’s honor, though, hinted that the event’s real purpose was to signal to Democrat apparatchiks that Biden is now shark chum.
The chumming process began when Obama referred to Biden as the “Vice President,” adding, after a long pause, “that was a joke.”

Barack Obama made a return to the White House last night to revive the dying Democrat brand ahead of midterm elections. It can’t be overlooked that saving Democrats might have to include aborting Brandon, because if anything was accomplished in his first official visit since welcoming Trump at the North Portico, Obama utterly shamed the sitting president.
Former President Barack Obama tweeted support for President Biden Tuesday evening shortly after an embarrassing video emerged from a health care event the two hosted earlier in the day.
Obama visited the White House, for the first time since leaving office in 2017, where he and Biden hosted a health care event in which they touted the Affordable Care Act and discussed options for making health care more affordable.
The former presidential duo was united again under the White House roof, but pictures and videos of the event showed people adoring the former president, even to the detriment of the man currently serving in the White House.

Megyn Kelly had strong words for those who are pushing for President Joe Biden to forgive their student loans, suggesting that neither she nor any other taxpayer should be on the hook for the financial obligations of “snot-nosed” kids if the administration eventually acts to cancel their debt. On Monday’s edition of her SiriusXM radio show, the former Fox News anchor addressed activist pressure on the White House to wipe the slate clean with calls for loan forgiveness coming from Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez, among others.
During her conversation with the hosts of the conservative podcast “Ruthless,” Kelly didn’t hold back on the entitled young people who want the government

Democratic Rep. Ami Bera of California said on Tuesday that he was the victim of an "unprovoked" attack by a fox outside of the US Capitol on Monday evening. Bera said the attack occurred in the park area just north of the Capitol by Russell Senate Office Building, "I was just walking, as I often would, over by that park," the congressman explained to Insider and a group of other reporters. "I felt something lunge — totally unprovoked — at the back of my leg." Bera added that it "felt like a small dog" had attacked. "I don't know if it actually
MSNBC host Joy Reid outdid herself in the “vicious” category on Twitter, comparing Republican voters to al-Qaeda, the terrorists who killed thousands of Americans on 9/11, and then going on to call the GOP the party of “pro-rape” while slamming white Christians.“Republicans vote like al-Qaeda fights: with a patient, long-term goal of seizing power and forcing the libertine culture to heel under the boot; no matter how many elections it takes,” she monstrously tweeted Tuesday.“That’s why those anti-voting laws work. They’re designed to frustrate voters out of even trying to participate.
Mitt Romney is thoroughly damaged by Trump derangement. This has been evident for a long time over the last four years, but his vote to confirm Ketanji Brown Jackson is a bridge too far.
For a man of the Mormon faith to accept a judge who is perennially partial to purveyors of child pornography is incomprehensible. How does a man with five sons and twenty-four grandchildren suffer from the same blind spot as Judge Jackson? Only his hatred of all things Trumpian, like common sense, can explain such an appalling breach of American values, let alone Mormon values.
He is a carpetbagger, but he represents the state
