The response to the Navy’s recent, wildly woke training using two rainbow-clad sailors explaining how to create a “safe space” by using “proper gender pronouns,” and “inclusive language” has been ferocious. Retired Navy SEAL and Texas Rep. Dan Crenshaw tweeted: Here’s an idea, fire everyone in the Navy who puts pronouns in their email signature and focus on how to be better at war. For God’s sake, stop this stupidity. https://twitter.com/DanCrenshawTX/status/1539312527800008709?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw%7Ctwcamp%5Etweetembed%7Ctwterm%5E1539312527800008709%7Ctwgr%5E%7Ctwcon%5Es1_&ref_url=https%3A%2F%2Famericanmilitarynews.com%2F2022%2F06%2Fvideo-seal-vet-rep-crenshaw-reacts-to-navy-gender-pronouns-video-for-safe-spaces%2F In a video posted on Facebook and Instagram on Tuesday, Crenshaw added insightfully: “And look, side note: we already have inclusive language in the military. It’s called ranks. You can just call…

Communist China is getting more totalitarian – even with foreign investment fund management firms operating on its soil. The Chinese regime is now requiring all foreign firms – including American ones – to set up an internal unit for surveillance and supervision by the ruling Chinese Communist Party (CCP). Other Chinese national laws require all companies in the country, including foreign firms, to establish internal CCP organizations. However, those laws have been largely symbolic. Until now. Ignites Asia — an extension of Financial Times — first reported that in May, the China Securities Regulatory Commission (CSRC) implemented new changes to its industry rules governing publicly…

In a major defeat for American interests in Latin America, and likely for democracy and free markets as well, the far left has won the presidency in traditionally conservative Colombia for the first time ever. On Sunday night, Gustavo Petro, a senator, and former communist guerrilla fighter was elected the country’s first leftist president. The repercussions could be significant.This leftist victory is only the latest in a string of victories since the Wuhan pandemic hit Latin America hard in 2020, and a new neo-Marxist alliance could be in the works in America’s backyard.As the Washington Post reports: And now it has…

In a stirring and spot-on campaign email, Florida’s Republican Governor Ron DeSantis declares war on the Far Left calling it a “Radical Vigilante Woke Mob.” While I’ve seen my share of them over the years and sent out a few myself, campaign fundraising emails are notorious for appealing to the hard-core base of both parties. So, most of them are taken with a grain of salt by political observers. However, the email I just received from the DeSantis re-election campaign really hit home. It accurately defined and summarized the aggressive domestic threat posed by the extreme Left to our…

When science fiction meets science fact – In a partnership with Elon Musk’s SpaceX, the Pentagon is aiming to deploy U.S. special ops commandos to any hotspot on earth in just hours via rocket. This is according to a United States Transportation Command study obtained by The Intercept through the Freedom of Information Act (FOIA). This type of immediate response could help prevent the next Benghazi, where Americans were killed by Islamist terrorists on the anniversary of 9-11 in 2012 at a diplomatic compound in Libya, partly because of delays in available forces, and partly due to political reasons (e.g.: Secretary of State…

While the Left wants to make the heretofore little-known date of June 19, 1865, a new holiday to bash America due to its partial history of slavery, Juneteenth (as it is now known) is not the date slavery ended in the United States. Or the day the last slaves were freed. Sorry, Mr. (Ill-informed) Science Guy holding a pocket Constitution he clearly has never read. https://twitter.com/BillNye/status/1538634230946844674?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw%7Ctwcamp%5Etweetembed%7Ctwterm%5E1538634230946844674%7Ctwgr%5E%7Ctwcon%5Es1_&ref_url=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.theblaze.com%2Fnews%2Fbill-nye-history-lesson-juneteenth Juneteenth is actually only the day to celebrate a great Republican President’s historic message freeing the slaves finally reaching the Confederate State of Texas.
