Biden's nominee for Chairman of the Joint Chiefs, who appears to be another of his affirmative action hires, also appears to be a racist.

God Knows the enemies of the United States who, given the opportunity, would destroy us as a nation without hesitation, have been given more than adequate reason to laugh hysterically at the unspeakable idiocy of our civilian leadership AND our reliance on generals promoted not so much for their military competence as they have been for their political reliability.

Not unlike the leadership of the Soviet military under Stalin.

Our country deserves the best leadership that can possibly be provided. The best policies. The best equipment. The best living conditions for the Forces and their families. The best training. The best facilities. The best of everything we can provide with the singular goal of fielding the finest fighting force in the world.

Period.

But while our enemies train to destroy us... While out enemies train with weapons and tactics...

We waste time on doing our best to socially engineer the members of the US Military to the point where we fall laughingly short of our enlistment and retention goals; primarily because of the CRT (Critical Race Theory)/DEI (Diversity/Equity/Inclusion) insanity rammed down the throats of the military, day in and day out is the order of the day.

Because we have wasted time and millions of dollars on the farce of training women for ground combat for YEARS while simultaneously refusing to ever deploy them in those roles (ever seen a woman with a Combat Infantry Badge? Why not? Women have been Infantry qualified and assigned since 2017.  Why is it none of them were ever assigned in ground combat units in Iraq or Afghanistan?) While expending additional millions on ineffective sexual harassment training and seminars as we simultaneously train our service members to believe they're misogynist and/or racist.

There can be no disagreement that Biden's last choice for the Supreme Court was nominated entirely due to her race (black) and her gender (female). She met Biden's repeated criteria for a replacement of Ruth Bader Ginsburg generally while lacking a particularly distinguished legal career particularly to support such a nomination.

Best known for being incapable of defining what a woman is, claiming she wasn't a biologist; she is, essentially, a wasted seat, someone we'd never have heard of had she been some color not black.

In that same vein, along comes Biden's nominee to (finally) replace Army General Mark Milley, whose tenure was marked by essentially admitting to committing treason with his assurances that he would call the Chinese personally if then President Trump were considering launching an attack.

That man, Air Force Chief of Staff General C.Q.Brown, signed off on a memo to the Air Force last October, stating, essentially, that the number of white Air Force officers should be reduced by 5400 (9%) and that the diversity of the Air Force should reflect a population cross section of America today.

The entire concept of the military is a color/gender-blind meritocracy. It cannot be based on affirmative action.

We need the best possible officers and NCO's leading our men and women who signed up to put their lives on the line for this country in ALL services.

Affirmative action is an anachronism that, in the military, WILL get Americans killed.

Those who hold General Brown's peculiar point of view should not only NOT become Chairman of the Joint Chiefs, they should not be allowed in the military at all.

It is, IMHO, no less racist than the Klan. And in fact, imagine a General C.Q. White, claiming that the officer corps of the US military should reduce the numbers of black officers or service members by ANY amount... merely because they happen to be black.

Meanwhile, those who would destroy us have yet another reason to be rolling on the floor at the stupidity of both this leadership of the country and now, the prospective leadership of the actual US Military.

If it wasn't so utterly sickening, it would be hysterical.

Will's "Never Trumper" delusion.

Sometimes in politics, even seasoned professionals replace reality with what they want. Will is the preeminent "Never Trumper" who exited the GOP in June of 2016 over Trump, and like most Never Trumpers, he always takes the opportunity to shill for RINOs at the expense of conservatives... and anyone but Trump or Trump Light

That the uber-leftist Washington Post published this nonsense is telling by itself. But the gaping hole in WIll's harangue is simple:

He names no one else who he believes WILL be the nominee.

But is it a coincidence that Will's wife, Mari Will, is working on Sen. Tm Scott's (R-SC) campaign for president?

This, his facts-bereft screed is not a reality... its much more a hope... a wish... an outcome that he likely prays for. But 2016 proved him wrong then as well, as it did so many other allegedly Republican talking heads. 

A warning sign concerning twitter.

",,,maintain free expression and make Twitter a safe space for everyone."

Says the woman running the company with a very recent history of 1st Amendment violations/censorship.

Such a highly placed executive should know that, no matter what, some snowflake will whine about something. Thus, there's no such thing as a "safe space for 'everyone.'"

There wasn't before Elon took it over and that won't be going forward.

That's the fatal flaw for "threads." It's nothing more than another leftist censorship platform.

One of the responses to Linda's stupidity was simple and to the point:

"Twitter is safe. Words do not harm. Doxing, on the other hand, MIGHT harm."

Words are only harmful to those demanding victimization. There's something to be said about the "sticks and stones" approach.

Thus, my opposition to idiotic (and unevenly applied) "hate crime" laws.

I believe that, for example, desecrating an American flag is a hate crime. But none of those in support of "hate crime legislation" agree with that perspective.

Even use of the term "safe space" is a leftist bent that should be avoided if the genuine goal is to provide a free speech platform.

"Everyone" is far too over-inclusive... and guarantees, in some form or another... the reinstitution of leftist censorship under the "safe space" (never disagreeing with the left) policies that make social platforms such a cesspool of idea censorship.

I have been busted by FB for a 30-day ban because I had the temerity to share embarrassing pictures of Hunter Biden from his laptop that had been in the public domain for months under the excuse that I was violating TOS by sharing "private information."

The US Government has violated the rights of hundreds of millions of us by limiting the free expression of ideas and posts that go against their meme. But it DID turn social media platforms into the "safe spaces" the new twitter CEO seems to crave.

It's tough having a weak-kneed President. It's tougher when he's a hypocrite.

 Did anyone really think Joe Biden's temper was any different than his hero's, Joe Stalin?

So in addition to achieving pathological liar status, he's also a total hypocrite?

When does he fire himself?

And who can forget his lies on Inaugural Day?

Ukraine in NATO?

Let's not hold our breaths.

Can one join NATO in the middle of a war and not attempt to invoke Rule 5 (An attack against one is an attack against all)?

Essentially, I believe that ship sailed within the first month of Russia's invasion. Had NATO immediately came to Ukraine's defense, this war might have been over in hours.

But going back even further, had Biden not publicly approved of the invasion in the first place, none of this would have happened.

The rule in stores is if you break it, you own it. The US, in large part due to Biden's usual stupidity, incompetence and big mouth greased the skids for this insanity.

Putin's political generals, not unlike our own tools in DOD, did the rest.

I do not see any scenario where Ukraine is allowed NATO membership while engaged in combat operations against Russia.

Zelensky, for his parts, wants NATO membership for obvious reasons. But for equally obvious reasons, I don't believe he's going to get it.
