U.S. Military changing uniform regulations, fitness standards to be more woke, inclusive; Democrat-mandated

 U.S. Military changing uniform regulations, fitness standards to be more woke, inclusive - American Thinker   "Various branches of the U.S. military, long steeped in tradition, are now making changes… to accommodate wokeness.

"For example, the U.S. Marine Corps is altering its uniform regulations. The erstwhile “Leathernecks” are introducing new maternity clothes for pregnant Marines. Other changes include an allowance of increased hair length, the edging up of one's hairline, and additional manicure options for female Marines. I guess this shouldn’t be too surprising since even the Navy SEALS have gone woke."

"First Lt. Phillip Parker, a spokesman for the Marine Corps Training and Education Command, recently told the Marine Corps Times the changes are intended to help "positively impact diversity, equity and inclusion.”

"Inclusion? In the Marines? Is this a good idea? Would femininity have aided the Devil Dogs on Bataan or Corregidor in WWII? Should people of all genders, ages and physical fitness levels be welcomed into the Corps? Should diversity, equity and inclusion trump combat readiness and effectiveness and the ability to protect and aide your fellow Marine —and, if necessary—carry him off the battlefield…dead or alive?

"Not to be outdone, the U.S. Army has made significant changes to its fitness program. The six-event Army Combat Fitness Test (ACFT) will no longer be meant to prepare soldiers for combat, but instead will simply serve as a general fitness assessment. It will also have different scoring standards for men and women across different age groups. Most of the standards will be lowered, of course, after a congressionally mandated report from Rand Corporation found that nearly half of the service’s women could not pass earlier standards for the test.". . .

Finally, in a stirring show of diversity, equity and inclusion, all branches of the military will announce that their service members may choose to wear rainbow, lesbian or transgender pride flag pins on their uniforms in place of the traditional unit pins or pins of the American flag. Now that’s cohesiveness. Bring on China.

If you have a family tradition of being and voting Democrat, remember this is no longer THAT Democrat Party. They have morphed into something grotesque, an aberration. TD

America is still paying the price for Hillary Clinton’s treachery

 Michael Goodwin

[Sussmann's] trial, scheduled for next month, has the potential to be a breakthrough in Durham’s long-running effort to reveal voluminous wrongdoing by Clinton and the federal government against the Trump campaign. 

"However this era of angry polarization, crime and violence ends, it will be left to historians to decipher how America got so far off track. Instead of building on our unprecedented prosperity and role as the world’s ultimate superpower, we declared war — cultural, political and social — on each other. Even our nation’s Founders are not spared. 

"The reasons will be better understood in hindsight, but it’s hard to believe the 2016 presidential campaign won’t be seen as an inflection point. Our move toward disunion didn’t begin then, but it certainly gained steam and vitriol during and after the election of Donald Trump. 

"Two recent developments illustrate how that campaign remains a radioactive hot spot. With both developments centering on Hillary Clinton, they underscore her role and the depths of her venality. 

"Just when you think you’ve seen the worst of her, proof emerges that she was even more duplicitous than we knew. 

"The first evidence came in a little-noticed decision from the Federal Election Commission. It ruled on a complaint from the Coolidge Reagan Foundation that Clinton and the Democratic National Committee violated federal law by hiding how they funded the odious Christopher Steele dossier, perhaps the most destructive disinformation document in United States history. ". . .

Is this the end of the dollar as the world’s reserve currency?

Democrats; the party chosen by an uninformed, poorly educated electorate. TD

 Mail & Guardian Online.  "Do the Ukraine war and the action of the US, EU and UK spell the end of the dollar as the world’s reserve currency? Even with the peace talks recently held in Turkey or the proposed 15-point peace plan, as the Financial Times had reported earlier, the fallout for the dollar still remains. For the first time, Russia, a major nuclear power and economy, was treated as a vassal state, with the US, EU and UK seizing its $300-billion foreign exchange reserves. 

"Where does this leave other countries, who also hold their foreign exchange reserves largely in dollars or euros?

Supply chain worries

"The threat to the dollar hegemony is only one part of the fallout. The complex supply chains, built on the premise of a stable trading regime of the World Trade Organisation principles, are also threatening to unravel. The US is discovering that Russia is not simply a petrostate as they thought, but that it also supplies many of the critical materials that the US needs for several industries as well as its military. This is apart from the fact that Russia is also a major supplier of wheat and fertilisers.

"Seizing Russia’s funds means that the faith in the US as the world’s banker and in the dollar as the global reserve currency is in question. Why should countries maintain any trade surplus and bank it abroad if that surplus can be seized at will through sanctions imposed by the West? 

"The promise of a dollar as the world’s reserve currency was that all surpluses in dollars were safe. With the seizure of the Afghan central bank’s $9.5-billion, and allocating $7-billion out of it, the US has shown that it considers the dollar reserves of another country, held by the US’ central bank, as its money.

Biden, Who Viciously Smeared Justices Thomas and Kavanaugh, Proclaims KBJ Subjected to ‘Most Vile Accusations’

 Legal Insurrection

“I knew the person I nominated would be put through a painful and difficult confirmation process. But I have to tell you, what Judge Jackson was put through was well beyond that. There was verbal abuse. The anger. The constant interruptions. The most vile, baseless assertions and accusations.” – Joe Biden

 

"On Thursday and with the help of three purported Republican Senators (Mitt Romney, Susan Collins, and Lisa Murkowski), President Biden’s Supreme Court nominee Ketanji Brown Jackson was confirmed to the highest court in a 53-47 vote, becoming one of the most radically left-wing Justices and the first one who cannot define what the word “woman” means in our nation’s history.

"In remarks made on the South Lawn of the White House during a Friday victory lap ceremony, Vice President Kamala Harris declared that America lived up to her ideals “through the confirmation of the first black woman to the United States Supreme Court.”

"Shortly thereafter, Biden spoke and the word “history” was thrown in numerous times, just so people would remember that it was supposedly only through Joe Biden, who openly bragged during his 2020 presidential campaign about being able to work alongside segregationist Senators in the 1970s, that the nomination of a black woman to the Supreme Court was made possible.". . .

I knew it wouldn’t be easy, but I knew the person I nominated would be put through a painful and difficult confirmation process. But I have to tell you, what Judge Jackson was put through was well beyond that. There was verbal abuse. The anger. The constant interruptions. The most vile, baseless assertions and accusations. 

For nearly 2 years, Senate Democrats — including Joe Biden — filibustered the nomination of then-California Supreme Court Justice Janice Rogers Brown to the D.C. Circuit.

She likely would have been the first Black female Justice.

Liar and demagogue: Biden’s obsessive lies – small and large – are big trouble for America (nypost.com)

It would be bad enough if Biden only told personal tall tales. But his reality distortion field now extends to national policy. He routinely insists “all the economists” back his plans, writes off inflation as a temporary spike, insists the border surge is just “seasonal,” even calls his disastrous Afghan bugout a “success” (while falsely claiming his generals didn’t object).

 

McConnell: If I'm Majority Leader in the Senate, McCarthy the Speaker -- 'We'll Make Sure Joe Biden Is a Moderate'

 Breitbart  "Senate Minority Leader Mitch McConnell (R-KY) said on this week’s broadcast of “Fox News Sunday” that Republicans would “make sure Joe Biden is a moderate” if they retake Congress in the midterm elections.

"Anchor Dana Perino said, “I want to ask about the midterms next anyway. You have a great way of transitioning, sir. Inflation, gas, and groceries. this is on everybody’s mind. What would be different for Americans if Republicans win back the majorities in the House and Senate this year?”

"McConnell said, “Well, our agenda next year, if we are fortunate enough to be in the majority, will be focused on exactly what you and I have been talking about. Crime, education, beefing up the defense of our country. The president’s request for the Defense Department, this year’s request, doesn’t even keep up with inflation. We’ve got a war going on in Ukraine. We’ve got big power competition with the Russians and the Chinese. We need to meet the demands of the international situation. So all of those will be on our agenda.”

"He added, “We will not have the presidency for two more years. Obviously, we will have to work with the administration to see what we can agree on, but … let me put it this way. Biden ran as a moderate. If I’m the majority leader in the Senate and Kevin McCarthy is the speaker of the House, we’ll make sure Joe Biden is a moderate.' ”

Bill Maher Declares ‘the War on Jokes Must End’

 PJ Media  "Bill Maher has once again proven himself to be a voice of reason on the left. In the latest episode of his HBO show Real Time, Maher took a slap at cancel culture, declaring “the war on jokes must end.”

“I know we’re all sick of talking about ‘the slap,’ but I’m sorry, one more thing needs to be said. Comedians have been under attack for quite some time, and I need to stick up for my tribe. The war on jokes must end,” Maher said.

"Maher called out Will Smith for initially laughing at Chris Rock’s joke about his wife, then “conforming” to a different view that didn’t align with his genuine reaction. According to Maher, this is a sign of “how cancel culture works.”

“ 'I’ve seen the same syndrome happen in comedy clubs. Woke hecklers who literally have to wait for the laughter to die down before they yell, ‘That’s not funny!'” Maher said. “This war on jokes must end. Will Smith didn’t get kicked out of the Oscars for going Ike Turner on Chris, but Kevin Hart got kicked out of hosting it for a joke.”

“ 'The people who can’t take a joke now aren’t old ladies in the Bible Belt — they’re Gen Z at elite colleges. Colleges, where comedy goes to die,” Maher quipped. He then noted that late legendary comedian George Carlin gave up a “lucrative career” in nightclubs to do the college circuit because, Carlin said at the time, “I gotta go to colleges. I belong with people who are open and will let me be myself and experiment.”. . .

“Oh, George. It’s a good thing you’re dead,” Maher mused. “Because today, the seven words you can’t say on TV are, ‘Jada, Can’t wait for G.I. Jane 2.'”

Give Obama his proper worship or regret it

 

Even Liberals Are Calling Out Obama's 'Selfish' and 'Reckless' Behavior Amid Delta Variant Surge (townhall.com)

“Imagine for a moment that Donald Trump was throwing a massive birthday party for himself and 475 conservative friends in Martha’s Vineyard next weekend?” Morgan said. “What do you think the reaction would be from liberals, given that America is currently in the grip of a very dangerous new phase of the coronavirus pandemic with the Delta variant of COVID that has seen infections rise 148% in the past two weeks and hospitalizations by 73%?”

From 2013, when Obama was President:  Jonah Goldberg: Obama Showing His Vindictive Streak

"Shutting down the government in an effort to use a budget fight to get rid of Obamacare is not the strategy I would have recommended for the GOP. And while Republicans can be blamed for starting the shutdown, it’s increasingly apparent that President Obama and the Democrats deserve the lion’s share of blame for not only prolonging it, but for making it as painful as possible.

"Obama has always had a bit of a vindictive streak when it comes to politics. I think it stems from his Manichaean view of America. There are the reasonable people – who agree with him. And there are the bitter clingers who disagree for irrational or extremist ideological reasons.

"In his various statements over the last week, he’s insisted that opponents of Obamacare are “ideologues” on an “ideological crusade.” Meanwhile, he cast himself as just a reasonable guy interested in solving America’s problems. I have no issue with him calling Republican opponents “ideologues” – they are – but since when is Obama not an ideologue?

"The argument about Obamacare is objectively and irrefutably ideological on both sides – state-provided health care has been an ideological brass ring for the left for well over a century. But much of the press takes its cues from Democrats and sees this fight – and most other political fights – as a contest pitting the forces of moderation, decency and rationality against the ranks of the ideologically brainwashed.

"What’s unusual is the way Obama sees the government as a tool for his ideological agenda. During the fight over the sequester, Obama ordered the government to make the 2 percent budget cut as painful and scary as possible.". . .

The Disney I Used to Know

Watching the downfall of Walt Disney’s iconic legacy stirs some powerful emotions, and for many of us, a great sense of loss. I understand the frustration and anger parents feel at such a betrayal, but as I look on at the justifiable uprising, all I can feel is profound sadness. . . . 

Townhall  . . ."Moms are hungering for anything good, true, and beautiful because there is a serious lack of it in the world today. Everything that used to support us as parents are now going against us. As Stephen Covey states in his best-seller Seven Habits of Highly Effective Families, “In the past, it was easier to raise a family…because society was an ally, a resource.  People were surrounded by role models, examples, media reinforcement, and family-friendly laws and support systems that sustained marriage and helped create strong families…Success was much more a matter of ‘going with the flow. But the jet stream has changed—dramatically.  And to ‘go with the flow’ today is family-fatal.”

"Covey is so right, and the fatalities are stacking up.  We’ve seen firsthand how the deceptive “inclusion and diversity” cancer has infiltrated every aspect of our society promoting the very opposite of what the words imply. The “inclusion and diversity” mantra promotes exclusion and creates divisiveness. That is why moms are pushing back. It is why we’re taking time from our busy days and full schedules to write letters, make phone calls and stand outside Disney theme parks with flags and signs.  We’re tired of being ignored. We’ve lost too much, and we’re not willing to lose anymore.". . .   Full article...

So if you were to show up on a playground and show nude pictures to third graders or videos about masturbation or oral sex, we would arrest you, but Biden wants to change this. Why? Because he wants control over your family and your values and your beliefs.

He wants to determine what your kids learn about the deepest and most important issues there are. So, it’s not about sex, it is about your mind and that’s what they want control of.

So, Pete Buttigieg’s husband has made this explicit. Here he is in a documentary financed by Jeff Bezos, of course, forcing kids to pledge allegiance to something called a pride flag.

Will Joe Biden Bring the U.S. Down With Him?

 Will Joe Biden Bring the U.S. Down With Him? – PJ Media

"Joe Biden does not seem steady on his feet or clear in his mind, and at this stage the same might be said for the country he nominally governs. His unforced errors, some of which have an oddly deliberate ring to them, may have rendered the November midterms and the 2024 presidential election entirely moot. Whether the nation can remain socially, politically, and economically intact even for the next few months is an open question. Biden is a fool, but there is cunning in his folly. A frugal mind may be capable of great wiliness, and blunders may curiously work in an unintentional way to promote intentional policy. Many of Biden’s gaffes and much of his political mischief fit seamlessly into the Democrat plan for the nation. The result may not be wise, but as poet Thomas Gray wittily wrote, “where ignorance is bliss,/’Tis folly to be wise.”

"There are two sorts of gaffes or blunders which Biden is prone to make: the kind that are plainly indicative of cognitive decline, and those that dovetail neatly into Democrat, neo-Liberal policy to being in a new world order associated with the Great Reset. This entails the extension of NATO, regime change in Russia, the collapse of the American middle class, and the installation of oligarchic rule in the U.S.

"The elements of the master plan are obvious.

1. The situation on the southern border is an avowed catastrophe, for which the clueless Kamala Harris has taken much of the blame. She has been roundly condemned for failing in her duty to attend to the security breach, which was her remit, when it should have been obvious that abandoning border security was the purpose all along. Doing nothing, she did her job. Biden’s recent announcement ending the Title 42 Illegal Immigration Rule, which forced the return of more than half of illegal immigrants, is proof positive of the Democrats’ abiding intention to destabilize the nation.
2. When it comes to energy, the disaster compounds. Biden’s Executive Order on the first day of his assuming office canceling the Keystone XL pipeline project, and his suspending oil and gas leasing on public lands and waters, has ensured that American energy independence has become a thing of the past, that energy prices would soar, and that rampant inflation would devastate the domestic economy. Skyrocketing gas prices are merely the canary in the coal mine. Blaming Russia is a patent “red” herring.
3. As for foreign policy, Biden was asleep at the helm, or just as likely he was steering it hard to port rather than sagely to starboard. The U.S.-backed plan to sanction Russia, :. . .

Harry Reid Gives Shameful Response to His Attack on Mitt Romney's Taxes' 

It's one thing to try to gain a political advantage by pointing out certain undesirable aspects of an opponent's background or record. But when a Senate democratic leader spreads baseless allegations without a shred of evidence, and uses the Senate floor to do so, that's one step too far.

When asked about it three years later, you would think Reid would apologize or at least show the proper level of contrition that matches the irresponsible and undignified act of using the Senate floor to spread false allegations about a politician from the opposing party.

But Reid has no regrets. "I don't regret that at all," he told CNN's Dana Bash on Tuesday in the interview clip above. "Romney didn't win did he?"

Commentary: The Scandal Obama Still Won’t Acknowledge

 Tennessee Star

"Barack Obama has long bragged about his supposedly scandal-free presidency, a claim that conveniently ignores a host of ethical problems, from Hunter Biden profiting off access to Obama’s White House to the IRS harassing conservative activists. But the biggest scandal of Obama’s presidency is still coming into focus: his administration’s spying on a political opponent, Donald Trump, based on nothing more than a dirty trick deployed by Obama’s former secretary of state, Hillary Clinton.

"On the speaking circuit these days, Obama lectures Americans on dangers to democracy. But he presided over the most significant one in recent memory: an utterly bogus investigation that hobbled Trump’s campaign and presidency. Obama’s CIA director, John Brennan, had informed him by at least July of 2016 that Hillary was pushing a Trump-Russia collusion claim. Obama could have instructed his agencies to steer clear of this nonsense. But he didn’t.

"John Durham, the Justice Department special counsel who is examining this debacle, has shown in his filings the ease with which Hillary got friends in the Obama administration to investigate Trump. Christopher Steele, her chief opposition researcher, was peddling the Trump-Russia hoax across the Obama administration in the months before the election.

"Obama has never rebuked Hillary for prodding his administration to spy on her opponent. His surrogates still speak of it as a warranted investigation, even as more and more evidence accumulates to discredit it. The anti-Trump partisans at the FBI swallowed Steele’s lies whole, using them as the basis to secure FISA warrants on Trump officials. Trump has said that Obama “wiretapped” his campaign. Obama did. Those FISA warrants gave the Obama administration the power to intercept communications at Trump Tower.

"The collusion in the 2016 election was not between Trump and Russia but between Hillary and the United States government under Obama. The final Durham report will presumably detail the full extent of that collusion. In some cases, it can be plausibly argued that the Hillary campaign simply duped government officials. Durham, for example, has established convincingly that FBI counsel James Baker took a meeting with lawyer Michael Sussmann without knowledge of his work for Hillary’s campaign.". . .
