The men and women who put themselves in harm’s way to keep America safe deserve to have clean, comfortable, sanitary barracks. That should be the bare minimum our military should be able to promise them. Instead, according to a new report published Tuesday from the Government Accountability Office, inspections of 12 military installations found squalid hovel-like conditions — something that, according to Military.com, “confirm[s]] complaints made by many service members for many years.” The report, which ran nearly 100 pages, detailed the grotesque conditions our troops face: mold, sewage, brown water, bedbugs and even squatters.

This is pathetic!! Is this how we treat those who volunteer to defend their country??

I cannot understand, unless for purely mercenary purposes, why anybody would choose to serve in the U.S. military at this point in our history.

With all the wokeness in the military, it's surprising that they don't strike or take the the base streets and protest.

I know from experience who will ultimately be blamed and who will have to 'make improvements'. My room leaked when it rained. I was in the 1st floor of a three floor building. It ruined a pair of expensive (to me) speakers. Security was non-existent, the women on the third floor depended on us to provide protection. Roaches were rampant. can't get rid of them because they just move next door until the poisons wear off.

So in Full Metal Jacket - cleaning of the head involved a recruit to be on his knees scrubbing the surfaces with someone's toothbrush. Not so much anymore eh? Unmotivated drill instructors, noncommissioned officers and commissioned officers are the norm? Who would allow the conditions to deteriorate as depicted? Something ain't adding up.

From a person who has professionally studied the history of the US Army since 1987, and personally lived some of that history since 1971: So what else is new? (I have a humorous newspaper article about "The Battle of the Bedbugs" from 1898, and read any officer's wife memoirs for descriptions of being downwind of the enlisted barracks. However, in 1847 the Army did require the sergeants to perform a twice-weekly "linen inspection" - as in underwear, not bed. And it's not just Army barracks that have always had a problem, the family quarters are up there, too. If any of you experienced WW2 barracks, they had NOTHING on WW1 barracks - which they turned into family housing. They were supposed to last for five years, but were still standing and housing families into the mid-1930s - when Congress finally got embarrassed.)

The guys who do the real fighting get the short end of the stick, But on the other end, Wikipedia, that source of questionable accuracy, states: "There are currently 40 active-duty four-star officers in the uniformed services of the United States: 16 in the Army, two in the Marine Corps, seven in the Navy, 11 in the Air Force, one in the Space Force, two in the Coast Guard, and one in the Public Health Service Commissioned Corps. Of the eight federal uniformed services, the NOAA Commissioned Officer Corps is the only service that does not have an established four-star position." How many did we have at the end of WWII?

Yet we can afford to house illegal alien invaders in $500 per night hotel rooms and provide them with a complete menu of food and services. I hope the current bunch of transvestite military management does not attempt to restore the draft anytime soon.

Tell me again why the military cannot reach its recruiting goals? Join The Army Live in squalor. Be subjected to CRT and Wokeness 101. Be paid poverty wages. Be sent to fight in wars no one wants to win. After your enlistment is up, you get to wait in line at the VA for months/years.

A longtime associate of Bill and Hillary Clinton is facing up to six years behind bars after he pleaded guilty on Monday to one count of felony theft. Attorney Steve Bachar, touted as a “socially responsible” investor, served as the co-chair of the Clinton Global Initiative prior to his arrest in October 2021. As BizPac Review previously reported, the Denver district attorney’s office accused Bachar of stealing up to $1 million and then lying to an investor “in connection with the offer, sale or purchase of a security.” The crimes took place between October 2017 and August 2018.

A Beverly Hills man has sued the FBI to get his property back after the agency allegedly took hundreds of thousands of dollars worth of gold coins he had stored in a safety deposit box, items he was told they would never return even though he was never charged with any crimes. The man’s attorney told Fox News that the FBI had raided a California-based safety storage company on suspicion of laundering money for drug dealers, but while in the pursuit of those charges, the bureau also raided the company’s suite of safety deposit boxes, broke into all of them, and confiscated every customer’s property

The America-Last Biden administration is reportedly allowing hundreds of thousands of illegal migrants to request flights over the southern border and directly into the United States. The Biden administration has been trying to hide the true scope of the illegal alien invasion of our country through the CBP (Customs and Border Protection) One program. As I previously explained, hundreds of thousands of migrants every year can apply for a pseudo-legitimization through the CBP One app, meaning that the Biden administration was claiming a reduction in illegal crossings by the simple expedient of labeling many thousands of barely-vetted illegals legitimate. But that’s not the only disturbing aspect of the CBP One program.

Last week, after accidentally calling the Congressional Hispanic Caucus the Congressional Black Caucus, Biden finally did address the Congressional Black Caucus Saturday night at its 52nd Annual Legislative Conference—and it did not go well. Rappers LL Cool J and MC Lyte were being honored with Phoenix Awards that night to recognize their contributions to music. Biden not only botched LL Cool J’s name at the event but made what some would call a racist remark. “Two of the great artists of our time representing the groundbreaking legacy of hip hop in America , LL Jay Cool J, uhhh…” he said.
Biden-Migration: More Aliens Than 32 States 6 replies

Since Joe Biden has come to office, he has endorsed and incentivized more aliens to come here illegally than the populations of 32 states (counting the District of Columbia.) Contemplate that—a replacement population for any single of 32 sovereign territories. Doing the math you can also quickly spot that the 5.9 million people that have crossed illegally and not been vetted would be a replacement for the bottom 8 states/territories combined. Remember how it “only” took 19 individuals to execute 9/11? Well the interesting news here is that in 2023 the U. S. Border Patrol has already stopped 146 individuals currently on the terrorist watch list.

The current antics of the chief executive of my failed state of California bring to mind that meme of Anthony Adams in a yellow suit, lurking as he rubs his hands, watching for his best chance. But Gavin Newsom is doing more than loitering and observing our senile, perverted, corrupt President Gumby stumble around in circles. He’s putting in the groundwork for the great switcheroo. He wants to be president and preside over the completion of the great leftist project of destroying America. And he’s proven capable of doing it – after all, this human dipstick has managed to make a state like California poor, dangerous, and infinitely stupid.

Average Americans are finding homes and cars increasingly unaffordable as inflation from high government spending raises prices and degrades purchasing power. Half of consumers are being priced out of the car market as the cost of a monthly car loan payment is far exceeding what an average American can afford, while the home affordability index has fallen from a 169.9 point average in 2020 to 87.8 points as of July, according to the National Association of Realtors. One key driver of the rising expenses is inflation, which peaked at 9.1% in June 2022 and is linked to high government spending under the Biden administration,

The Biden Administration has ordered a German homeschool family, who came to America legally, to leave the country. The move comes as the White House has turned a blind eye to millions of illegals invading the southern border. The Romeike family was forced to flee Germany in 2008 after they were persecuted by the government for homeschooling their children. The Germans levied fines against the family and threatened to take away their children. I documented the plight of the family for years when I was working at Fox News. Uwe and Hannelore Romeike and their five children eventually settled in eastern Tennessee and were granted indefinite deferred action status.

Fox News Channel announced Monday that Sean Hannity will moderate a “red state vs. blue state” debate between Florida Governor Ron DeSantis and California Governor Gavin Newsom. Hannity asked the two governors about debating each other and both agreed earlier this year. The debate will take place on November 30 in Georgia, with the venue to be announced. It will air in Hannity’s time slot that night. The debate will be 90 minutes. The two governors have a contentious relationship, to understate the relationship. Newsom began attacking DeSantis even before DeSantis entered the Republican presidential primary. So, Hannity challenged the two to a debate.
