Is the military too ‘woke’ to recruit? Military recruiters have leaned on tried-and-true factors to explain the challenges, including low unemployment and a dearth of applicants up to physical, educational and behavioral standards. But political perceptions may be stifling the willingness to serve. …

ANALYSIS – As I have written numerous times, our nation’s premier law enforcement agency is increasingly being corruptly selectively weaponized by its leadership and used against conservatives, especially pro-lifers. This is not only immoral and unconstitutional but does a grave disservice to all the decent and upstanding FBI agents in the Bureau. And Republican lawmakers are making this an issue. As Newsmax reports: A group of Republican lawmakers wrote FBI Director Christopher Wray to request information on the rash of arrests and indictments of nonviolent pro-life activists.Rep. Chip Roy, R-Texas, Sen. Mike Lee, R-Utah, and 38 of their colleagues sent a…

ANALYSIS – More politically correct hypocrisy. Biological males can become women by just identifying as such, says the left, and Joe Biden, except when it comes to the draft. This is according to a chart provided by the U.S. Selective Service System. The chart, linked to a recent tweet by the Selective Service, notes almost “all male U.S. citizens and male immigrants residing in the United States who are 18 through 25 years of age” are required to register and transgendered individuals “who are born male and have changed their gender to female” are explicitly included. Apparently, it’s biology after all. https://twitter.com/Mimiof28/status/1579463389176557569?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw%7Ctwcamp%5Etweetembed%7Ctwterm%5E1579463389176557569%7Ctwgr%5Ed1effbffb4cdd4ff407b863912ecf3d542d0e33e%7Ctwcon%5Es1_&ref_url=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.theblaze.com%2Fshows%2Fthe-news-why-it-matters%2Fbiden-military-draft-transgender…

ANALYSIS – Tulsi Gabbard, former Democrat congresswoman, vice chair of the Democratic National Committee and Democrat candidate for president has publicly left the Democrat Party. And without skipping a beat, she quickly backed Trump-endorsed Republican New Hampshire Senate candidate Don Bolduc, a retired Army general. Bolduc, beat the GOP establishment-supported state Sen. Chuck Morse in the Republican primary last month. He had created controversy by questioning the results of the 2020 presidential election, but after winning the primary, he said on Fox News: “I have come to the conclusion, and I want to be definitive on this, the election was…

OPINION – U.S. Army Secretary Christine Wormuth recently said: “I’m not sure what woke means,” before giving her own interpretation of ‘woke’ meaning the Army isn’t focused on readiness. She created a straw man and then knocked it down. Wormuth clearly has no clue, or she is deceptive and disingenuous. Let’s assume it’s the former. She is truly clueless. If so, that is the biggest problem the military is facing. The Pentagon is increasingly ‘woke’ without even knowing it. Wormuth’s comments follow the recent controversy ignited when a general belatedly responded to a 2021 broadcast when Fox News’ Tucker Carlson mocked…

ANALYSIS – The term ‘equity’ has seeped into every aspect of U.S. domestic and even foreign policy. We hear the term everywhere. Most recently VP Kamala Harris used it to describe how hurricane relief funds should be distributed in Florida based in part on skin color and ‘communities of color’ should receive priority. (RELATED: Kamala Harris in Car Accident Falsely Described as ‘Mechanical Failure’) This outrageous claim from Harris provoked a backlash from Florida Governor Ron DeSantis, many conservatives and others. On his first day as president, Joe Biden also issued an “Executive Order on Advancing Racial Equity and Support for Underserved Communities.” This…

UNCOVERED – It is time to lift the secrecy veil and see the latest, most lethal American main battle tank (MBT) concept ever fielded — the Abrams-X. Could this new tank by General Dynamics revolutionize armored warfare? Task and Purpose writes: In a video released Saturday, the defense contractor showed off the so-called “AbramsX” technology demonstrator trundling along at a testing facility, spotlighting the tank concept’s “transformational technology” ahead of the system’s full unveiling at the Association of the U.S. Army’s annual meeting in Washington D.C. next week. Here is the tweet from General Dynamics announcing its imminent arrival. ‘IT’S ALIVE!” https://twitter.com/GD_LandSystems/status/1578812026234994693 As The…
