Report: The Military’s Obsession With DEI Politics Is Hampering Its Readiness

/0 Comments/in , /by

The main mission of the U.S. military is to protect American lives and interests domestically and abroad with the most capable personnel available. But what happens when that objective gets sidelined in favor of advancing a neo-Marxist agenda?

According to a recently published report by Will Thibeau, director of the American Military Project at the Claremont Institute, the U.S. military’s embrace of radical left-wing orthodoxy is hampering its overall readiness and ability to respond to an increasingly volatile geopolitical environment. Titled, “Identity in the Trenches: The Fatal Impact of Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion on U.S. Military Readiness,” the analysis explores how the military’s heightened obsession with racial and gender politics is contributing to these growing problems.

“The United States Armed Forces were once the envy of the world, in large part because we selected the best of the best, and instilled in our fighting men an unshakeable military ethos,” the report reads. “Both the ethos and the selection, however, have been in steady decline as the Department of Defense succumbs to a dangerous ideology: that of group quotas, or forced outcome equality for identity groups based on race and sex.”

While many Americans have come to associate the military’s modern embrace of radical DEI politics with policies enacted under the Biden-Harris administration, the infiltration of neo-Marxist ideology into America’s armed forces began decades prior. What started as a seemingly good-faith effort to eradicate racial discrimination in the military during the Truman administration later devolved into a drawn-out ploy by race-obsessed leftists to “quickly plant[] the seeds of more aggressive racial policies,” according to the report.

Citing policies implemented under Democrat presidents, from Lyndon Johnson to Joe Biden, Thibeau noted how the left-wing “transformation” of America’s military “cannot be blamed entirely on progressive presidents.” (Read more from “Report: The Military’s Obsession With DEI Politics Is Hampering Its Readiness” HERE)

Trump To Meet with Former Foe, Georgia Gov. Brian Kemp, for the First Time Since 2020 Election Dispute

/0 Comments/in , /by

Former President Donald Trump appears to be burying the hatchet with Republican Georgia Gov. Brian Kemp as the two former foes are slated to appear together for the first time since 2020 on Friday.

Trump and Kemp, who’ve sporadically been at loggerheads since President Biden’s 2020 Peach State election victory, will visit Evans, Ga., to receive a briefing on the devastation of Hurricane Helene and deliver remarks to the press, according to the former president’s campaign.

The visit will mark Trump’s second trip to storm-ravaged Georgia this week.

The 45th president surveyed storm damage and spoke with local officials and first responders in Valdosta, Ga., on Monday. . .

The tiff between Trump and Kemp started shortly after the 2020 election, when the governor refused to call a special legislative session to overturn the election results in the state.

Bombshell Allegations: Kamala’s Husband Accused of Assaulting Woman in 2012

/65 Comments/in , , /by

In a troubling development, Doug Emhoff, the husband of Vice President Kamala Harris, has been credibly accused of physically assaulting a woman during the Cannes Film Festival in May 2012. The allegations come from three friends of the alleged victim, who has been identified only by the pseudonym “Jane.”

According to reports from the Daily Mail, the incident occurred late at night while Jane and Emhoff were waiting in a valet line after a festival event. It is claimed that after a night of drinking, Jane attempted to expedite her exit by offering a valet a tip to move to the front of the line. One friend recounted that Jane “put her hand on [the valet’s] shoulder,” a gesture that reportedly prompted Emhoff to perceive as flirtation.

The friend alleged that Emhoff confronted Jane, resulting in an unexpected and violent response. “Doug apparently thought that she was flirting, and came over and slapped her in the face,” the friend stated. The altercation allegedly led to Jane slapping him back before deciding to end their relationship that night.

Describing the emotional aftermath, the friend recalled receiving a sobbing phone call from Jane. “It was hard to hear her because she was sobbing. She told me she was with a guy, and he hit her,” she said. Another friend reiterated the shock and fury Jane experienced after the incident, stating, “She said she was in utter shock [and] so furious, she slapped him.”

The friends further alleged that as Jane attempted to leave following the altercation, Emhoff forced his way into her taxi. According to the accounts, Emhoff showed no remorse the following day, as Jane confided to her friends that he was “unapologetic about the alleged abuse.”

Supporting their claims, Jane’s friends provided the Daily Mail with documentation, including a photograph of Emhoff with Jane, whose face is obscured, along with travel documents from the trip. It has been reported that Jane and Emhoff had a serious relationship prior to the alleged assault.

As this shocking allegation comes to light, the political ramifications for Emhoff and the broader implications for the Biden administration remain to be seen.

Hunter Biden’s 51 Spies Who Lied Are Well Overdue for Their Day in Court

/0 Comments/in , /by

In the ever-evolving coverup of the coverup of the Hunter Biden laptop, it was instructive to hear a recent interchange between Dan Goldman, the odious New York Democrat, and Texas Republican August Pfluger, a decorated former fighter pilot, in the House Homeland Security Committee last week.

Pfluger had introduced legislation to block funding for any bogus “intelligence experts” group that border-wrecker Alejandro Mayorkas’ Department of Homeland Security will use to censor Americans and interfere with our elections under the guise of protecting us from “disinformation.”

Judging from past outrages, such as the “Dirty 51” letter from the 51 “spies who lied” about Hunter’s laptop, Pfluger’s bill is well overdue.

But Goldman, a bumbling former prosecutor who has been attempting to run interference in the House whenever whistleblowers or witnesses come forward with damning information about Biden family corruption, had other ideas.

He leapt to the defense of the Dirty 51 former intelligence officials who had been prompted by then-Biden campaign official Antony Blinken, now secretary of state, to write a letter three weeks before the 2020 election refuting New York Post reporting, and falsely claimed that Hunter’s laptop was Russian disinformation — or, in their weaselly words, “has all the classic earmarks of a Russian information operation.” (Read more from “Hunter Biden’s 51 Spies Who Lied Are Well Overdue for Their Day in Court” HERE)

Montana Rancher Gets 6 Months in Prison for Cloning Giant Sheep and Breeding It

/1 Comment/in , /by

An 81-year-old Montana man was sentenced Monday to six months in federal prison for illegally using tissue and testicles from large sheep hunted in Central Asia and the US to create hybrid sheep for captive trophy hunting in Texas and Minnesota.

US District Court Judge Brian Morris said he struggled to come up with a sentence for Arthur “Jack” Schubarth of Vaughn, Montana.

He said he weighed Schubarth’s age and lack of a criminal record with a sentence that would deter anyone else from trying to “change the genetic makeup of the creatures” on the earth.

Morris also fined Schubarth $20,000 and ordered him to make a $4,000 payment to the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Foundation. Schubarth will be allowed to self-report to a Bureau of Prisons medical facility. (Read more from “Montana Rancher Gets 6 Months in Prison for Cloning Giant Sheep and Breeding It” HERE)

Denzel Washington Once ‘Stormed Out’ of Sean ‘Diddy’ Combs’ Party, Screamed ‘You Don’t Respect Anyone’: Report

/0 Comments/in , /by

Denzel Washington had fighting words for Sean “Diddy” Combs at one of the disgraced rapper’s parties back in the early aughts, according to a new report.

The Oscar-winning actor, 69, “screamed” at Combs before he “stormed out” of an all-night party that the music mogul hosted in 2003, an unnamed source told Us Weekly.

The outlet describes the insider as someone who was “friendly” with Diddy “in the early 2000s.”

“Denzel screamed, ‘You don’t respect anyone,’” the source claimed.

“[Denzel and his wife, Pauletta] had been partying until dawn [with Diddy], and they had seen something and stormed out,” the insider continued. (Read more from “Denzel Washington Once ‘Stormed Out’ of Sean ‘Diddy’ Combs’ Party, Screamed ‘You Don’t Respect Anyone’: Report” HERE)

In the Days After Hurricane Helene, Not One of the Biden-Harris Cabinet Visited

/0 Comments/in , /by

The death toll for Hurricane Helene has reached more than 160 and hundreds of Americans are still unaccounted for, as massive swaths of the American South are reeling from the natural disaster. The Dossier has found that not a single Biden-Harris administration cabinet official is on the ground in disaster areas, and none have expressed an intention to visit the sites most impacted by the hurricane.

President Biden spent Friday to Sunday at the beach in Delaware, according to his public schedule. On Monday, he was at the White House to celebrate the U.S. Olympic team.

When asked what he’s doing to help with the Helene response, Biden said he “was on the phone for two hours yesterday” while he was in reality just sitting on the beach in Delaware.

Vice President Kamala Harris spent the weekend campaigning and raising money on the West Coast, hosting high-dollar fundraisers and rallies in Los Angeles, San Francisco, and Las Vegas.

After some blowback, her team released a “Veep”-like PR photo Monday on X, showcasing Harris on her plane (with unplugged headphones and blank pieces of paper in front of her), cosplaying a leader who is managing the Helene response.

Philadelphia Man Shot Boyfriend in the Neck and Lit His Body on Fire Then Searched ‘Having Sex With Dead Bodies’ Online

/0 Comments/in , /by

A Philadelphia man has been convicted of shooting his boyfriend to death and then setting his body on fire in order to keep people from finding out about their gay relationship.

Prosecutors said that 23-year-old Kylen Pratt searched online for the phrase “having sex with dead bodies” after looking for news coverage about the victim’s body being found by police. . .

Prosecutors said Johnson was in a relationship with Pratt and that he had gone to his home on Feb. 17, where he was shot in the neck with a 9mm gun. Pratt then transported Johnson’s body to a remote area of a park, where he wrapped it in cloth, plastic, and duct tape before lighting it on fire.

Cell phone data placed the victim at Pratt’s home and also Pratt at the park. It also indicated that he searched for “murdering in cold blood,” “having sex with dead bodies,” and “traits of a psychopath.”

“This is an individual who was killed because he was gay and because the man who killed him didn’t want anyone to find out that he was in a relationship with him or he had sex with other men,” said Assistant District Attorney Cydney Pope. “Plain and simple.” (Read more from “Philadelphia Man Shot Boyfriend in the Neck and Lit His Body on Fire Then Searched ‘Having Sex With Dead Bodies’ Online” HERE)

Despite Skyrocketing Budget, Secret Service Can’t Seem To Find The Money To Protect The President

/1 Comment/in , /by

The U.S. Secret Service’s budget has increased by nearly $1 billion since 2014, but only $200 million of that has gone to protective operations, according to the agency’s budget.

The agency, which is set to get an additional $231 million in funding from Speaker Mike Johnson’s government funding bill, appears to have funneled more resources into administrative personnel than into protective operations, according to budget documents.

The agency’s total approved budget for the fiscal year 2024 is just under $2.8 billion, according to a Department of Homeland Security (DHS) budget document. Approximately $1.15 billion of that was allocated for “Protective Operations.”

That’s up from a $1.8 billion total budget in 2014, according to NBC News. Of that $1.8 billion, $924 million went to “Protection,” according to a 2014 DHS budget.

The relatively small increase in protection funds — less than $200 million — is dwarfed by the total budget increase, much of which has gone to line items like Professional Development, Professional Training Programs and “Human Capital Strategic Plan Growth,” which had a $42 million outlay in the Secret Service’s 2023 budget.

‘They Have Decided to Go Silent’: Springfield Police Cut Radio Access as Springfield Descends Into ‘Absolute Turmoil,’ Says Ohio Police Chief

/0 Comments/in , , /by

Tremont City Police Chief Chad Duncan says Springfield, Ohio, has fallen into “absolute turmoil” since the arrival of approximately 20,000 Haitian nationals.

Blaze News’ Julio Rosas returned to Tremont City, located approximately eight miles outside Springfield, this week to speak with local officials and residents to learn their perspective on the impact of the new arrivals.

Duncan told Rosas that Springfield has descended into lawlessness and that he is concerned it is spreading to nearby towns, including Tremont City.

“You’ve got a city that’s in absolute turmoil,” he said, referring to Springfield. “Everybody’s against everybody.”

One of Duncan’s most significant concerns is the increase in traffic accidents caused by Haitian drivers, who often are not licensed to operate vehicles, he said.

He told Blaze News that Tremont City law enforcement is doing everything possible to crack down on the potentially deadly crashes but noted that Springfield appears to be protecting Haitian nationals from facing any real consequences for reckless driving.
