One of the more ingenious aspects of our Constitution is its requirement that our military leaders are accountable to non-military officials. All our generals and admirals ultimately report to the Secretary of Defense and his underlings at the Pentagon who are part of the Executive Branch of government. Our Legislative Branch of government, aka Congress, is responsible for, among other things, funding and monitoring the Executive Branch, aka the White House, which is why we have committees such as the Senate Armed Services Committee.

Love Senator Cotton.

Hate to say this, but the woke garbage in the military didn't start in January 2021. Certainly Trump didn't approve of it, but to my knowledge he didn't make too many moves to shut it down.

#1.....An investigative reporter did a heads up deep dive into the crap the Pentagon was doing. When President Trump found out he stopped it all. Unfortunately the election was stolen and it all came back in spades.

This garbage started when feminists and those with the loudest voices began convincing the weak minded that boys and girls are the same. Anyone with children know, if they are intellectually honest, that there is a world of difference between boys and girls and not just that one sits down to pee. There are individual cases where a female could do what a male does in combat units, but those are rare when one looks through the smoke screen of wokeness. With firsthand experience I can say without hesitation that females are a detriment in certain military jobs and are there only because the standards were lowered so they could get through training. Those lower standards had to be disguised so they were made applicable to everyone and called effective when everyone including the females knew it was wrong and dangerous. Lower standards creeped into non-combat jobs that required upper body strength that females do not possess, but hey, what's ineffectiveness when compared to making females feel good about themselves.

Darn cotton-pickin' Cotton I dare him challenge the concept of a 'woke' military. At least in hand to hand combat, if it would ever happen in modern warfare, at least American 'woke' soldiers will feel good about themselves when dying at the hands of a laughing enemy.

Some of this is complete BS. I did my 20 and most years barely made the "standards". They were created for skinny little pipsqueaks that fit into a fighter cockpit. My job didnt require smallness, and it didnt require me to run for miles. It required brute strength, which I had in abundance. My best time on the mile and a half was 11:30, and that was while being urged on by a Marine friend in standard Marine fashion. Usually it was closer to 13. The physical standards and weight standards went through quite a few incarnations during my service, and all were bogus. They seemed to have more to do with secret fantasies recruiting posters than job performance.

Why did the military go to the 9mm over the .45? Who has a better handle on a 9mm than a .45? This isn't a trick question.

It isn't only the military that is suffering from the female invasion into job formerly performed by males. Our Police and Fire departments are suffering from the same problem. Jobs that used to have physical attributes such as height and weight have been forced to drop them.

Two young nephews joined the Marines about 4 years ago, I forget exactly. One has left his much beloved Corps because the upper level of enlisted troops had way too many who were self-serving fools, not interested in benefitting the mission of the Corps or training the troops under them. The other one is a slightly less unhappy, but still sees that the people running the Corps today are more interested in politics than in military readiness and skills, will be getting out in the fall.

Republican Senate candidate Kathy Barnette called out Dr. Mehmet Oz during a tense exchange about abortion, revealing she was the byproduct of rape. On Wednesday, candidates for Pennsylvania GOP Senate primary gathered for a debate as they attempt to sway voters before the May 17 primary election. Candidates were asked about their stance on abortion days after Justice Samuel Alito's draft opinion to overturn Roe v. Wade, the Supreme Court ruling that legalized abortion nationwide, was leaked. It was then that candidate Kathy Barnette, a conservative political commentator, explained her personal connection to the pro-life movement, revealing she was the byproduct of a rape.

Democrats would have us believe that January 6th last year was one of the darkest days in American history. It wasn’t. In fact, it’s not even in the top 1,000. But it was a horrible day in another regard. It was on January 6, 2021 when we learned that in the runoff elections the day before, both U.S. Senate seats in Georgia had flipped from Republican to Democrat, including the seat won by Raphael Warnock who defeated Republican Kelly Loeffler. With the loss of those two seats, the chamber became split evenly at 50-50, Republicans to Democrats, and with Vice-President Kamala Harris being the tie-breaking vote,

Much has been said about Florida’s Parental Rights in Education law. While the left did everything possible to demonize the bill and turn public opinion against it, their efforts didn’t work. Their media tried to label it as the “Don’t Say Gay Bill,” which it wasn’t. Transportation Secretary Pete Buttigieg and his husband Chasten, among others, tried to convince us that kids would die as a result of the law, which they won’t. And Democrats continue to assert that the law will negatively impact the learning environment for kids in the state, which is absurd.

The analysis, released Thursday by Robert VerBruggen of the Manhattan Institute, a conservative think tank, details how Asian American enrollment at the eight Ivy League colleges remained flat for over a decade, despite the demographic enjoying substantial population growth alongside higher standardized test scores and grade point averages.
Supreme Court Signals Victory for Praying

The Supreme Court on Monday looked poised to side with a high school football coach who claims he was unfairly suspended for praying on the field. The Bremerton School District in 2015 suspended coach Joe Kennedy, claiming his postgame prayers were designed to cause a spectacle. Kennedy pushed back, claiming he was exercising his First Amendment rights. During Monday's arguments, the justices seemed to take Kennedy's side. Justice Brett Kavanaugh pushed back on the district's characterization of Kennedy as an attention-seeker and said it's hard for a head coach to do anything discreetly during an athletic event. Justice Samuel Alito took issue with the district's rationale for suspending Kennedy.

In this installment of their weekly Sunday Six conversation, PF Whalen and Parker Beauregard of The Blue State Conservative discuss the six most impressive moves by our favorite governor, Ron DeSantis. PF: #6: Signs bill in November banning vaccine mandates in the state, and holds the signing ceremony in Brandon, Florida. PF: Full disclosure, I’m a huge fan of Ron DeSantis, and have been since the very early stages of his 2018 gubernatorial campaign against Andrew Gillum. He was bold from the beginning, and extremely impressive. But of everything DeSantis has done as governor, this might be my favorite, simply because of the symbolism.

Former President Donald Trump touted the "explosive" 2020 election fraud lawsuit in Antrim County, Michigan, in a campaign call on Wednesday. Trump spoke for roughly five minutes during a telephone town hall event for Matthew DePerno, a Republican candidate for Michigan attorney general who is spearheading the litigation, according to the Detroit News.

We can bow to the woke mob and surrender our culture to their insanity, or we can take a stand and push back. One professor at a university in Ohio has provided a blueprint on how to hit them where it hurts: In their bank accounts. As reported by Fox News, in June 2018 a philosophy professor at Shawnee State University named Nick Meriwether was formally disciplined by the university for his refusal to use a student’s preferred pronouns. A written warning was placed in Meriwether’s permanent file with a promise to apply “further corrective actions” if similar incidents occurred in the future.

President Joe Biden's plan to lift Title 42, the pandemic edict allowing for blanket expulsion of migrants entering the United States at the southern border, lacks support from not only Republicans but also the majority of independents and a significant number of Democrats across the country. The administration announced April 1 that the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention would lift the Trump-era order starting May 23, allowing for the normal processing of refugee asylum requests inside the U.S. The administration has repeatedly stated that the order is a "public health" measure meant to stop the spread of COVID-19,

Producer prices increased a scorching 11.2% for the year ending in March, according to a report Wednesday from the Bureau of Labor Statistics, the highest on record. The inflation rate in Wednesday’s producer price index report was up 1.4 percentage points from the previous month and is the highest in the gauge’s 11-year history. Wednesday’s news signals more inflationary pain to come for households. The producer price index gauges the wholesale prices of goods, which are eventually passed down to consumers. The news came just a day after a report for the month of March found consumer prices increased by 8.5% —

Members of the LGBTQ2 community will be disproportionately impacted should the United States Supreme Court overturn Roe v. Wade, experts say. “Abortion care is part of wrap-around sexual health education and care that is essential to the well-being of LGBTQ2S+ people, whether they become pregnant or not,” Dr. Shannon Dea, dean of the faculty of arts at the University of Regina told Global News. “Limit that care and you imperil their well-being.” A leaked initial majority draft opinion, first reported Monday by Politico, suggests the court has voted to overturn the decision that legalized abortion nationwide — and it has

Day by day, it seems that the ruling class and their media mouthpiece are dedicated to one principle: find problems where none exist and ignore real problems that are in desperate need of attention. Consider the words of U.S. President Joe Biden, spoken during Eid al-Fitr with Muslims at the White House on May 2. He said: "[T]oday, around the world, we’re seeing so many Muslims being targeted with violence. No one, no one should discriminate against oppressed or be oppressed for their religious beliefs…. Muslims make our nation stronger every single day, even as they still face real challenges and threats in our society, including targeted violence and Islamophobia that exists.

If you’ve been on social media at all this week, you’ve probably been amused by some of the unhinged reactions from the left to the leaked draft majority opinion of Dobbs v. Jackson Women’s Health Organization. They were full of apocalyptic predictions by people who don’t understand what overturning Roe v. Wade would actually do. Be that as it may, it is widely believed that the draft opinion was leaked in order to allow for a pressure campaign to take place in the hopes that some justices could be swayed before the final opinion is released.

Manhattan’s Museum of Jewish Heritage barred a philanthropic group from featuring Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis at a June conference at the site and forced organizers to relocate. Tikvah Fund leaders Elliott Abrams and Eric Cohen told The Post Friday that museum brass advised them to either disinvite DeSantis or take the annual Jewish Leadership Conference elsewhere. Cohen said they were shocked by the ultimatum. “Never before did the museum share their opinions about or seek to assert oversight over our guest speakers,” he said Friday. Tikvah leaders refused to cancel DeSantis and instead moved the entire event to Pier 60.

The efficacy of ivermectin in preventing hospitalization [SNIP] is unclear. We conducted a double-blind, randomized, placebo-controlled, adaptive platform trial involving symptomatic SARS-CoV-2–positive adults. A total of 3515 patients were randomly assigned to receive ivermectin (679 patients), placebo (679), or another intervention (2157). Treatment with ivermectin did not result in a lower incidence of medical admission to a hospital due to progression of Covid-19.

Parents and politicians alike are slamming President Biden for his failure to address the US' ongoing baby formula shortage - with one distressed dad saying 'never did I think I would have a problem finding food for my baby in America.' The backlash against Biden comes as the formula shortage has reached crisis levels in recent weeks, with at least 12 states facing 40 percent or higher out of stock rates. As shelves across the country meant to carry formula remain largely barren, parents such as Russell Bleck, a husband and father in Lexington, Kentucky, have become desperate to get their hands on the all important product.

Kabul, Afghanistan—Afghanistan’s Taliban rulers on Saturday ordered all Afghan women to wear head-to-toe clothing in public — a sharp, hard-line pivot that confirmed the worst fears of rights activists and was bound to further complicate Taliban dealings with an already distrustful international community. The decree, which calls for women to only show their eyes and recommends they wear the head-to-toe burqa, evoked similar restrictions on women during the Taliban’s previous rule between 1996 and 2001.(Snip)The decree added that if women had no important work outside it is better for them to stay at home. “Islamic principles and Islamic ideology are more important

You can jump-start the overall learning curve by educating yourself and boosting our reach with others around you. Awareness is key: Without realizing it, we use pronouns all the time.
