Transgender Activists Angered After Stonewall National Monument Drops ‘T’ From LGBT

/0 Comments/in , /by

Activists for transgenderism were angered after the United States National Park Service (NPS) removed the word “transgender” from the website for the Stonewall National Monument in Greenwich Village.

NPS’s decision to remove references of the word from the website for the monument was met with criticism by Erik Bottcher, the council who represents Greenwich Village, according to the New York Times.

Bottcher described the move as “the latest attempt to erase the very existence of transgender people.”

While the NPS website for the Stonewall Monument does not mention the word transgender, it mentions lesbian, gay, and bisexual (LGB) individuals.

“Before the 1960’s, almost everything about living openly as a lesbian, gay, bisexual (LGB) person was illegal,” the webpage says. “The Stonewall Uprising on June 28, 1969 is a milestone in the quest of LGB civil rights and provided momentum for a movement.” (Read more from “Transgender Activists Angered After Stonewall National Monument Drops ‘T’ From LGBT” HERE)

Major Left-Wing Outlet Accused of Twisting JD Vance’s Words

/1 Comment/in , /by

Vice President J.D. Vance is accusing The Wall Street Journal of misrepresenting his comments in a Friday headline that suggested he had threatened to use military and economic force to pressure Russia into agreeing to a deal to end the war in Ukraine. Vance claims the headline distorted his words, asserting that he did not propose such extreme measures but was discussing potential diplomatic solutions and a shift in U.S. foreign policy. The controversy highlights ongoing tensions between Vance and the media over his statements on international relations.

The article titled “Vance Wields Threat of Sanctions, Military Action to Push Putin Into Ukraine Deal” twisted the Vice President’s comments, claiming he threatened Russia with military intervention or sanction. Instead, he said that all options were on the table for President Donald Trump’s negotiations between the two countries to end the war to continue, according to a transcript of the interview posted by Vance’s communications director, William Martin.

“Vice President JD Vance said Thursday that the U.S. would hit Moscow with sanctions and potentially military action if Russian President Vladimir Putin won’t agree to a peace deal with Ukraine that guarantees Kyiv’s long-term independence,” the opening paragraph to the outlet’s article read.

In a social media post, the WSJ stated that Vance vowed to hit Russia with sanctions and military action if [Russian President Vladimir] Putin [wouldn’t] agree to a peace deal that guarantees Ukraine’s independence.”

Martin took to social media to accuse the WSJ of publishing “pure fake news” about the vice president.

U.S. Army Ends Gender-Affirming Procedures, No Longer Accepting Transgender Individuals

/86 Comments/in , /by

The United States Army announced that it would no longer be allowing transgender-identifying individuals to join the military and would no longer be performing medical procedures “associated with gender transition.”

“The #USArmy will no longer allow transgender individuals to join the military and will stop performing or facilitating procedures associated with gender transition for service members,” The U.S. Army wrote in a post on X.

The announcement from the U.S. Army comes after President Donald Trump previously signed an executive order stating that people who “express a false ‘gender identity’ divergent from an individual’s sex cannot satisfy the rigorous standards necessary for military service.”

Consistent with the military mission and longstanding DoD policy, expressing a false “gender identity” divergent from an individual’s sex cannot satisfy the rigorous standards necessary for military service. Beyond the hormonal and surgical medical interventions involved, adoption of a gender identity inconsistent with an individual’s sex conflicts with a soldier’s commitment to an honorable, truthful, and disciplined lifestyle, even in one’s personal life. A man’s assertion that he is a woman, and his requirement that others honor this falsehood, is not consistent with the humility and selflessness required of a service member.

The executive order also states that the policy of the U.S. government is to “establish high standards for troop readiness, lethality, cohesion, honesty, humility, uniformity, and integrity,” adding that the policy is “inconsistent with the medical, surgical, and mental health constraints on individuals with gender dysphoria.”

Marine Corps ‘On Track’ To Hit 2025 Recruiting Targets, Official Says

/22 Comments/in , /by

Signaling another prospective win for the new Trump administration, the U.S. Marine Corps is on pace to hit its fiscal year 2025 recruiting goals, The Federalist has learned.

Speaking with The Federalist, Marine Corps Recruiting Command spokesman Jim Edwards revealed that the branch is “on track” to meet its total force accession mission for this year, which is set at 32,835 recruits. That figure is “based on current manpower projections,” according to Edwards.

“Our Marine Recruiters work diligently in every community across the Nation to attract and inspire high quality individuals to enlist, and Marine Corps Recruiting Command is on track to meet its assigned mission,” Edwards said.

The Marine Corps is the only branch of the military to consistently meet its recruiting goals in recent years. The Navy, Air Force, Army, and Coast Guard have struggled to bring in new recruits, a problem which military specialists have, in part, attributed to the Biden administration’s advancement of racist DEI ideology and disastrous foreign policy agenda.

Many of the branches managed to meet their FY2024 recruiting goals, but only after dropping previously abided-by standards and adopting other sweeping policy changes. (Read more from “Marine Corps ‘On Track’ To Hit 2025 Recruiting Targets, Official Says” HERE)

Biden-Era Army Thieved Over $151 Million From Soldier Paychecks for Food to Spend Elsewhere

/13 Comments/in , , /by

The Army is repurposing more than half of the money it collects from junior enlisted soldiers for food, according to data reviewed by Military.com. The numbers suggest that a large portion of those funds are not going toward feeding soldiers, a diversion of resources coming at a time when troops increasingly struggle to find nutritious food on base.

The money is collected in what amounts to a tax on troops — taken from their Basic Allowance for Subsistence (BAS) payments, roughly $460 per month that is automatically deducted from the paychecks of service members who live in barracks and is intended to help cover food costs. For junior enlisted troops who earn about $30,000 annually, the cost can be consequential.

2024 financial records provided by the service from 11 of the Army’s largest bases show that more than $151 million of $225 million collected from soldiers was not spent on food. Given that the Army operates 104 garrisons, the true amount of unspent funds is likely far higher.

“It’s just returned to the big pool of Army funds, and it’s used someplace else,” one service official with direct knowledge of the situation said during an interview that was arranged by the Army public affairs office, referring to redirected BAS money collected from soldiers.

At Fort Stewart, Georgia, for example, soldiers contributed $17 million, but the base spent just $2.1 million — redirecting 87% of the funds. Schofield Barracks in Hawaii collected $14.5 million but used only $5.3 million, meaning 63% of the money was used elsewhere.

Meghan Markle and Prince Harry Paying Big Bucks to Dem Operatives via Their Charity – Sparking Calls for a Congressional Investigation

/6 Comments/in , /by

Meghan Markle and Prince Harry have funneled hundreds of thousands of dollars to controversial political operatives through their charity, according to documents reviewed by The Post.

The Duke and Duchess of Sussex have been spending big on high level Democrat party aligned sources, according to public records, including hiring a ‘disinformation expert’ who worked at a company involved in every high-profile US election since the 90s.

The move could further widen the divide between Harry and his family, after brother Prince William recently met with President Donald Trump. King Charles is also said by the British press to have maintained a good relationship with Trump since he was last in office in 2020 and the president has expressed his support for both.

The Archewell Foundation, the California-based non-profit started by Harry and Meghan in 2020, doled out $146,500 to Jiore Craig in 2023, an independent media strategist who has been called the Democrats’ “go-to” for “countering disinformation,” according to a report.

The group also donated $25,000 to the Marcy Lab School in Brooklyn, where Craig joined the board in 2024, public records show, and in 2022 Craig also took in $120,000 from Archewell, per the federal filings.

Vance’s Munich Speech Threw Down the Gauntlet and Left EU Leaders Melting Down

/3 Comments/in , /by

. . .This was the moment for President Trump’s administration to make its grand entrance onto the world stage—and they rolled into Europe like a boss. And yes, Vance threw down the gauntlet, putting every European leader on notice.

Vance made it clear—Europe and America are drifting apart. They’re heading straight into communist waters, while we’re swimming in a sea of freedom. Finally.

It’s time for them to reverse course and join us.

He called out the globalist leaders for being manic little tyrants who have weaponized censorship and obliterated free speech. He also highlighted the shameful case of a British man arrested for the so-called “crime” of praying outside an abortion clinic.

Lines like this are timeless:

“I wish I could say that this was a fluke, a one-off crazy example of a badly written law being enacted against a single person. But no… Free speech, I fear, is in retreat.”

Yes: Obama, Biden Endangered Flights by Rejecting Whites for Air-Traffic Controller Jobs

/2 Comments/in , /by

Last month’s horrific plane crash that killed 67 at Washington’s Reagan National Airport was a wake-up call for the millions of Americans who fly regularly. . .

As President Donald Trump pointed out in the disaster’s aftermath, the Federal Aviation Administration in 2014 replaced its well-established merit-based selection process for would-be air-traffic controllers with a new “Biographical Questionnaire.”

Rather than focusing on a candidate’s proven skill set or familiarity with the high-pressure demands of the job, this test asked questions designed to benefit certain racial groups.

While previously the FAA’s entry tests favored candidates with years of rigorous aviation training in FAA-approved career technical schools, its new test measured intangible factors with little bearing on actual job performance.

These changes were intended to reduce the percentage of Caucasian candidates in the hiring pool. The FAA discriminated against ATC applicants in violation of federal civil-rights laws. (Read more from “Yes: Obama, Biden Endangered Flights by Rejecting Whites for Air-Traffic Controller Jobs” HERE)

New Information Could Shed Light on What Really Happened in Army Helicopter Crash

/1 Comment/in , /by

The crew of the Black Hawk helicopter that collided with an American Airlines jet above the Potomac River last month might not have heard important instructions from air traffic control and could have been viewing erroneous flight data, investigators said on Friday.

National Transportation Safety Board (NTSB) chair Jenniffer Homendy indicated that the recording taken from the helicopter suggested that the crew could have missed instructions just before the collision.

Investigators are currently analyzing flight data recorders from the helicopter and the airplane, according to The Baltimore Banner.

Homendy further stated that the helicopter was engaged in check flight when one of the pilots was being tested on the use of night vision goggles and using instruments during flight.

NTSB Chair @JenniferHomendy: “17 seconds before impact, a radio transmission from the tower…directing the Blackhawk to pass behind…the portion of the transmission that stated ‘pass behind the’ may not have been received by the Blackhawk crew.”

Intel Agencies Begin Dismantling DEI In Response To Trump’s Order

/4 Comments/in , /by

Federal agencies are scrapping diversity, equity, and inclusion (DEI) initiatives in response to President Trump’s executive order — and the intelligence community (IC) is no exception.

Trump issued an executive order on day one of his presidency targeting DEI programs in the federal government. Federal agencies have since begun rolling back DEI, including the Central Intelligence Agency (CIA), the Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI), and the National Security Agency (NSA).

“CIA is complying with the Executive Order,” an agency spokesperson told the Caller.

“We are laser-focused on our foreign intelligence mission. We are complying with the EO and [Office of Personnel Management] Implementing Guidance. CIA sent out a notice on 31 January stating that Agency Resource Groups (ARGs), Directorate Resource Groups (DRGs), and Workforce Partner Groups have been disbanded.”

A CIA page on Diversity and Inclusion now goes to a 404 error page. According to an archived page of the site, ARGs are groups composed of “employees and allies who share a common affinity.”
