Woke American military puts US in danger. Here's how (speakingaboutnews.com)

. . ."Remember: The heart of “intersectionality” is learning about “oppressive institutions (racism, sexism, homophobia, transphobia, ableism, xenophobia, classism, etc.)” Where do you think heterosexual White males fit in that paradigm? Of course, they are seen as the enemies, the oppressors, and the ones who must be outed. Remember that “ableism” is discrimination in favor of able-bodied people. Military institutions must produce the toughest, most capable and strongest people – in order to win in combat. The entire premise of intersectionality is madness when applied to a military institution.

"The identity politics that come from intersectionality are designed to separate people into different social groups with different ratings of privilege and grievance. Military units must be one team – in complete unity – or Americans die and America fails.

"Finally, this proposed Navy pledge is insane because of the signals it sends to our potential enemies.". . .

The Meaning of the Woke Military - The American Mind   "When official Department of Defense spokesmen attacked Tucker Carlson—who criticized the military’s integration of diversity-centered staffing mandates—they exposed a crucial gap between what Americans believe their military to be and the true purpose of our trillion-dollar war machine. What is being interpreted as an escalation in the culture wars is actually about how our regime perceives power itself. 

"The primary purpose of the U.S. military is to protect the global economic status quo, sometimes known as the “neoliberal order” or “the Washington Consensus.” General Officers and Senior Enlisted men responding to Carlson’s remarks about women in combat did so in their official capacity as representatives of the United States Department of Defense, in uniform, using official Twitter accounts without standard disclaimers. While they insisted they were simply “defending their soldiers” from unjust criticism, this superficial claim fails to capture the truth about the unfolding dynamic.

"The debate that is playing out right now about sex, gender, and the military is happening only because we never, as a country, actually had it.". . .

Reasons to consider Stephen Colbert a weasel

Stephen Colbert mocks Americans uneasy over gas prices: 'I'll pay $15 a gallon ... I drive a Tesla' - Washington Times  Video

One Twitter user wrote: “‘I don’t mind paying $15 a gallon, cause I drive a Tesla’ is a joke, until you realize that it really defines the disconnect between the mentality of celebrities and the people who have to drive to work everyday in a car that costs less than $50k.

"Television host Stephen Colbert is facing criticism for making insensitive remarks about the cost of gas while owning a Tesla himself.". . .

. . .“Since the invasion, oil prices have skyrocketed,” Colbert said on The Late Show. “Today, the average gas price in America hit an all-time record high of over $4 per gallon. Okay, that stings, but a clear conscience is worth a buck or two. I’m willing to pay $4 a gallon. Hell, I’ll pay $15 a gallon because I drive a Tesla. Take that, Putin! We’re not gonna buy our gas from a war criminal,” Colbert said. “We’re gonna buy it from the good guys, Saudi Arabia!”. . .

VIDEO: Exposing BLM at School—a deep dive into the indoctrination of fourth-graders

 Legal Insurrection

"As part of my investigation into the National Association of Independent Schools‘ (NAIS) People of Color Conference (PoCC), I watched “Growing Young Voices: Understanding Black Lives Matter for Teachers,” a presentation where two elementary school teachers at the $35,000/yr University of Chicago Lab School detail their implementation of the “Black Lives Matter at School” curriculum.

"Referencing seven video clips from that session, I will show how these educators inculcate BLM principles in their fourth- and fifth-grade students, and then build on that foundation to steer them towards activism.

Pre-Historic Vampire Squid Named After Joe Biden… | Weasel Zippers

"A scientist said he honored President Joe Biden by naming a prehistoric "vampire squid" after the 46th president.

"Syllipsimopodi bideni is described as an "incredibly rare" fossil, according to a report.

"For decades, it was stored at a Canadian university, but a scientist recently reexamined it and decided to name it after the president.

"This was sitting in a museum since the '80s and no one realized it was important," Christopher Whalen, a paleontologist with the American Museum of Natural History in Manhattan, said. "We chanced on that importance because I happened to notice the arm suckers."

" 'Whalen said naming the squid after Biden was in no way meant to be a slight.

" 'I wanted to somehow acknowledge the moment in a way that was more positive and forward-looking," he said.

" 'I was encouraged by the plans President Biden put forward to counter anthropogenic climate change and his general sentiment that politicians should listen to scientists."

"Whalen first submitted his study at about the time Biden was inaugurated, and it was finally published Tuesday in Nature Communications.

"The 10-armed creature is reportedly the oldest cephalopod that has suckers, and it is estimated to have roamed the oceans 300 million years ago.". . .

Kamala Harris' Eastern Europe trip will do nothing to defeat Putin (nypost.com)

"Dispatching Vice President Kamala Harris to Poland and Romania in response to the “difficult logistical challenges” involved in delivering Eastern European fighter jets to Ukraine shows that the administration’s short moment of laser-sharp focus on defeating Russia’s Vladimir Putin is over. Not even two weeks into his invasion of Ukraine, the Biden team appears to be back to its previous complacency and fecklessness.

"Providing Kyiv with older, Russian-made fighter jets that Ukrainian pilots are already trained to fly would be an easy way to prevent struggling Russian air forces from asserting air superiority over Ukraine. After the initial public promise made by Josep Borrell, the European Union’s high representative for foreign and security policy, several Eastern European countries offered their planes while counting on the United States and NATO to both handle the logistics and fill in the gaps thus created in their own air defenses.

"The Biden administration’s initial response was muddled and confusing. After days of mixed reports, the Polish government announced Tuesday that it was moving ahead with the plan, which would involve transferring the planes to a US base in Germany, from where they would be flown to Ukraine. That was followed by a cold reaction  from the Pentagon, whose spokesman called Polish plans “not tenable.' ”. . .

This Invasion Is Brought to You by . . . Western Environmentalists

Concern for the environment is a good thing, but the environmentalist movement is not. Environmentalists use the environment to create a social revolution just as communists used workers to create a social revolution. 

 Dennis Prager

Environmentalists are, intentionally or not, in collusion with Vladimir Putin to undermine America and the West.

 "For more than 40 years, the environmentalist movement has been warning that global warming is the result of mankind’s burning of fossil fuels and poses an “existential threat” to human and other biological life.

"This is one of the many grandiose lies the Left uses to reshape, if not destroy, Western civilization. Other grandiose lies used to achieve that result include America being systemically racist; that violent crime is the result of racism and poverty; men give birth; sex and gender are “nonbinary”; and that former President Donald Trump was a Russian asset.

"It should now be obvious that the “Greens,” the environmentalist movement—not global warming—poses an existential threat to humanity. For the first time since the Cuban missile crisis of 1962, the world faces the possibility of a nuclear war. Russia is explicitly threatening use of nuclear weapons should the West come to the defense of Ukraine and has put its military on nuclear alert. Given the possibility that Russian President Vladimir Putin is deranged, the threat is far more real than it was in 1962 when Nikita Khrushchev was the leader of the Soviet Union. Putin believes he embodies Russia (just as Hitler believed he embodied Germany). Khrushchev did not believe he embodied Russia.

"Were it not for the green movement, Putin would not have been confident that he could get away with invading Ukraine. During Trump’s presidency, and due to his policies, the United States became independent of foreign oil for the first time. Within months of assuming power, the Democratic Party, an extension of the environmentalist movement, forced America to revert to dependence on foreign oil, including Russian oil. Beholden to the environmentalists, candidate Joe Biden made promise after promise to curtail oil and gas production: no new fracking on government land, no drilling in the Alaskan Arctic, and shutting down the Keystone pipeline.". . .

Fact Checking Claims that Biden Hired a Drag Queen to Work in the Department of Energy (thedispatch.com)

Viral social media posts claim that President Joe Biden has hired a drag queen to head up the Department of Energy’s nuclear waste issues efforts. "Fuel and Waste Disposition in the Energy Department’s Office of Nuclear Energy in January 2022. Before joining the Department of Energy, Brinton was most famous as an gender non-binary activist, and made headlines for wearing a gender-fluid outfit to the 2018 Academy Awards ceremony. The picture accompanying some of the posts is Brinton in the Academy Awards outfit. 

"The Daily Mail reported that Brinton was a member of a drag queen group called the Order of Perpetual Indulgence, including a picture from Brinton’s Instagram account showing Brinton at a Sisters of the Order of Perpetual Indulgence event. 

"The Department of Energy told the Washington Examiner that while Brinton was being considered for a career appointment, the role is not a political appointment. So, while Brinton is joining the Department of Energy, Brinton is not a “Biden nominee” as some have claimed. 

"The Department of Energy told The Dispatch Fact Check that Brinton’s position is “not an appointment through the Biden-Harris administration,” but that it was “unable to comment on any additional personnel matters related to that post at the moment.”. . .

Do These Black Lives Matter to L.A.'s Idiot D.A.?

 It's bad enough to have dangerous psychos out on the street, threatening our lives because there's something wrong with their brains. The least we can expect is that they aren't D.A.s." ... (...Kamala Harris endorsed Gascon.)

Ann Coulter  "Hey, whatever happened to that story about Sandra Shells? She was the 70-year-old nurse killed by one of Los Angeles' many "unhoused" individuals (drug-addicted psychopaths) while she waited for a bus at 5:15 in the morning in January, on her way to her job at the Los Angeles County-USC Medical Center.

"A homeless guy, Kerry Bell, walked up to Shells and punched her in the face, knocking her to the ground and fracturing her skull. She died of her injuries three days later.

"Her life mattered more even than, say, George Floyd's -- and I can prove it.

1) Shells was a hardworking nurse, remembered as "kind, compassionate and giving" and a favorite of patients.

2) There is no evidence that she'd ever committed a home invasion robbery on a woman in Texas, pistol-whipped the woman and put a gun to her abdomen.

3) She was not a meth addict.

4) She did not have a long rap sheet, including selling cocaine, selling crack and theft.

5) She was merely standing at a bus stop -- not, for example, resisting arrest after passing a counterfeit bill and having the police called on her

Russian Barbarism, American Incompetence, and Ukrainian Suffering

"Just remember, when Mitt Romney said Russia was America’s greatest threat, Barack Obama scoffed, and a sycophantic media followed like so many lemmings." 

 American Thinker  . . ."But the greatest measure of incompetence goes to President Biden and the European environmental movement. By cutting off the Keystone XL Pipeline and withdrawing support for Eastern Mediterranean Pipeline, Biden increased dramatically the West’s dependence on foreign oil.

"For their part, the European environmental movement acted as if Chernobyl was the engineering standard for nuclear reactors and made much of Europe dependent on Russian oil and gas.

"Even if we give up the 500,000 barrels of dirty oil we import from Russia every day, the Europeans do not have the luxury of shutting down Russian imports. They are not going to sit in the dark and shiver. NATO will find a big crack in its armor.

"Yes, the atrocities we see daily from the streets of Ukrainian cities are a consequence of Russia’s decision not only to invade Ukraine but also to pursue a war without the constraints of decency, not to mention the Geneva Conventions.

"The great curse that should never fall upon us is that someday we might be a second or third-rate power and we and our children will have to bear the consequences of the incompetent decision-making of some great power.". . .

Again with Kamala and that aforementioned Peter Principle

 Kamala Proves the Peter Principle - American Thinker

"Most of my life, I assumed that we elected serious politicians and appointed competent people to deal with the country’s complex problems -- the Cold War, the Vietnam War, the Civil Rights Movement, the economy, immigration, terrorism, foreign policy, natural disasters, etc. -- major problems that required competent people, serious about addressing (and fixing) the issues.

"That was then, this is now. America is no longer a serious country, and the West is not a serious culture. Proof of how far we’ve fallen -- boys claim they’re girls, girls claim they’re boys and we must accept the new biology or be canceled; racism is openly taught in public schools under the lie called Critical Race Theory (thank you, teachers unions); schoolchildren are taught to hate the country’s very founding claiming more racism; the military is focused on white rage (not defeating our enemies); and we installed an imbecile (as president) who mumbles the words his handlers put on the teleprompter. Vice President (VP) Kamala Harris is further proof that, as a nation, we’re unserious.

"Watching Kamala, Biden, Tony Blinken, Pete Buttigieg, etc. it’s obvious that the Peter Principle is at work. The Peter Principle says that people rise to the level of their incompetence. During Obama’s presidency, everyone joked that he selected Biden for VP because Biden’s incompetency insured that Obama would never be impeached. Yes, Obama was bad, but Biden would be worse. Now that Biden’s the president, that joke was 100% correct. Sadly, he’s multiple times worse than anyone imagined. ". . .

US Navy to Determine Ships' Preferred Pronouns

 The People's Cube - Political Satire

"Naval Station Norfolk, VA -- The United States Navy has contracted experts to determine the preferred genders of all its nautical vessels.

"For millenia, mariners have assumed ships and boats were female and referred to them as "she/her." As the world becomes more aware that people are actually whatever gender they happen to be thinking of at the moment, a nearly universal outcry erupted that we are assuming the genders of all sorts of objects.

"Despite initial objections from some high-ranking Trump era holdovers, the Navy has decided that now is the time to come into 21st century thinking by figuring out what gender each ship actually would prefer to be. This is a new field, but experts from top US universities soon stepped up and were promptly hired.

" 'Aside from the fact that it is naturally just sexist and homophobic, it is also illogical." says Dr. Indigo Yehuda, a gender studies expert from Brown University who is working on this effort. "We've been assuming since, like, forever that all ships are female, right? But think about it - all ships can't be female, because then where would the little baby ships come from, like that rowboat over there? Duh."

"It is expected to take between 2-5 years and cost approximately $123M to fully understand the preferred genders of every vessel in the US Naval fleet. But the US Navy is committed and knows that someday, in the words of one Admiral who preferred to remain unidentified, "when you talk about one of our ships, you'll feel confident you won't offend it or anyone else around by referring to it by the wrong pronoun.' "
