Military Finds Physical Reality Shatters DEI-Fueled Theories About The Sexes

/0 Comments/in , , /by

Ten years have passed since the Department of Defense initiated a social experiment with women in the military. Pentagon officials promised that female trainees headed for previously all-male combat arms units would have to meet the exact same standards as men. Has the experiment played out as promised?

We are about to find out. Secretary of Defense Pete Hegseth’s March 30 memorandum calls for a 60-day review to achieve high, uncompromised standards in combat arms units such as the infantry, special operations, and other occupations with extraordinary physical demands.

Thanks to a series of executive orders that President Donald Trump has issued since January, Hegseth’s six-month implementation period should proceed without equivocation or distractions related to percentage-based diversity, equity, and inclusion (DEI) quotas. Wrote Hegseth, “[I]t is essential to identify which positions require heightened entry-level and sustained physical fitness.”

An honest review of contemporary policies regarding women in the military should reflect sound priorities unrelated to DEI. Career opportunities are important, but if there is a conflict, the needs of the military must come first.

Direct Ground Combat Goes Beyond ‘In Harm’s Way’

As the Center for Military Readiness stated in this CMR policy analysis, implementation of Hegseth’s order must begin with clear definitions of terms, starting with “direct ground combat” (DGC). Direct ground combat arms units such as the infantry, armor, artillery, and special forces in all branches of the service are trained to seek out and attack the enemy with deliberate offensive action.

Physical demands in DGC units typically are greater than those in units and military occupational specialties (MOSs) that serve “in harm’s way” in war zones. Men and women serving in such roles are at risk of contingent or incident-related combat, and those who come under fire are trained to fight back and return to base. Their mission, however, is not to seek out and engage the enemy with deliberate offensive action. (Read more from “Military Finds Physical Reality Shatters DEI-Fueled Theories About The Sexes” HERE)

Senator Confirms Taxpayers Funded His Meeting With Alleged MS-13 Gangbanger

/2 Comments/in , , /by

Democratic Maryland Sen. Chris Van Hollen confirmed Sunday that his trip to El Salvador to try to secure the return of Kilmar Abrego Garcia, a deported illegal immigrant with alleged ties to MS-13, was funded by U.S. taxpayer dollars.

Van Hollen made the admission during an interview on Fox News Sunday with Shannon Bream.

When pressed by Bream about who paid for the trip, Van Hollen said it was an “officially cleared, you know, congressional trip.”

“So taxpayer dollars?” Bream questioned.

“Yes, like every other trip,” Van Hollen replied.

EPA Administrator Confronts New York Times Reporter for Claiming He Had ‘No Evidence’ of Waste, Fraud, Abuse

/0 Comments/in , , /by

Environmental Protection Agency Administrator Lee Zeldin confronted a New York Times reporter during a press conference Monday for claiming that he presented “no evidence” to back up his claims of waste, fraud, and abuse from the previous Biden administration.

“I have a duty to make sure that we don’t light on fire billions of dollars of tax dollars,” Zeldin said. “And I’m not going to stand before any member of the media and get bullied into lighting billions of dollars on fire.”

Zeldin hosted the news conference Monday morning at the EPA headquarters, announcing his forthcoming Earth Day trip to San Diego to investigate the crisis of Mexico pouring five million gallons of wastewater daily into the Tijuana River.

At the end of the conference, Zeldin mentioned the media bias against his claims of waste, fraud, and abuse in the Biden EPA.

The waste and self-dealing

He mentioned a video unearthed by Project Veritas in December 2024 in which a Biden administration political appointee at EPA said that bureaucrats were rushing to get billions of dollars out the door like “throwing gold bars off the Titanic.” Zeldin pledged to Congress that he would investigate the matter.

U.S. Congressman Backtracks On Social Media Post Claiming He Fired Weapons At Nuclear-Armed Russia

/1 Comment/in , , /by

U.S. Rep. Brian Fitzpatrick, R-Pa., wants you to know that while “a lot of people talk a big game about supporting Ukraine,” he cares enough to take a taxpayer-funded trip there to make a series of potentially dangerous political blunders.

Fitzpatrick is a former federal prosecutor and was stationed in Ukraine when he worked as an FBI special agent. Now in Congress, he is chairman of the CIA Subcommittee of the House Permanent Select Committee on Intelligence, and he is a delegate to the NATO Parliamentary Assembly.

In a social media post, Fitzpatrick assured Ukraine, “We will always have their back.” It is a view President Donald Trump’s Administration does not necessarily hold.

Trump has been in negotiations with Russia and Ukraine, and it seems unlikely that the administration asked Fitzpatrick for help with negotiations.

Yet last week Fitzpatrick met for talks with Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky. He let him know that the voting margins are “tight” in Congress, as if he were discussing strategy with a teammate.

[This] post leaves little room for interpretation. It sure looks like a sitting U.S. congressman fired shots into Russia, ratcheting up tensions. That is what he communicated, and it is how the shocked responses to his post understood it:

Actor Compares Donald Trump to the Killers of Jesus Christ in Easter Message

/0 Comments/in , , /by

For his Easter Day message to fans, extreme leftist actor John Cusack insisted that the historical figures who killed Jesus were the “Trumps of the day.”

Cusack jumped to his X account on Sunday to write: “Happy Easter – Christ was tortured and executed as a Political calculation by the Trumps of the Day… Happy Easter.”

Of course, Cusack’s simple-minded framing of the death of Jesus Christ is not entirely correct. Jesus was not crucified merely for “politics.” The Jewish leaders who conspired to eliminate Jesus were incensed that he had called himself the Son of God and, therefore, a divine figure. They felt he was engaging in blasphemy. And the Romans prosecuted him for claiming to be “King of the Jews.” That was a crime in their eyes because only Caesar could be king. The question of Christ’s divinity was not as incidental as Cusack wants to make it seem.

Certainly, Jesus also threatened the political power of the Jewish leaders. But the Romans were somewhat indifferent and did not feel he was all that much of a political threat to them. So, obviously there was a political aspect to the whole thing, but to say it was all just a “political calculation” is an oversimplification. There was also deep religious context to it all.

Fauci’s First Year Of Retirement Was A Money Making Bonanza, Docs Show

/1 Comment/in , , /by

Former White House Chief Medical Advisor Anthony Fauci earned $3.5 million in his first year of retirement from government and may have misled Congress about the date of his departure, documents reveal.

Fauci received several six-figure deposits through 2023 totaling $1.15 million according to a 141-page financial disclosure obtained by Open The Books, a government watchdog group.

The documents do not describe the source of the deposits.

Fauci leveraged his celebrity status as the top trusted messenger on COVID-19 to pad his earnings in 2023, just as newly empowered Congressional investigators sharpened their focus on the ways Fauci betrayed the public’s trust at the pandemic’s height.

Fauci sold his memoir to a subsidiary of Penguin Random House for a reported $5 million in March 2023. That news coincided with a March 2023 congressional memo showing Fauci had privately “prompted” an influential paper dismissing the theory that COVID could have resulted from a lab accident. On July 1, 2023, Fauci began an appointment at Georgetown University as distinguished university professor in both the School of Medicine and School of Public Policy. Roughly two weeks later, two of the coauthors of that paper testified to Congress about the extent of their collaboration with Fauci.

Exercising During This 3-Hour Window Linked to Lowest Risk of Heart Disease and Stroke

/0 Comments/in , , /by

Most people know that exercise — especially a combination of cardio and strength training — is good for your heart.

But a major study tracking over 85,000 adults suggests it’s not just what you do at the gym — it’s when you do it — that counts.

The study, published in the European Journal of Preventive Cardiology, found that people who worked out either early or late in the morning had an 11% and 16% lower risk, respectively, of heart disease and stroke than those who didn’t lace up their sneakers until the afternoon.

Specifically, researchers identified 8 to 11 a.m. as the ideal sweet spot for exercise — at least when it comes to heart health.

Women in particular saw the strongest benefit, as those who hit the gym in the late morning had a 35% lower risk of stroke and 24% lower risk of coronary artery disease compared to their afternoon counterparts.

The Gospels Say Jesus Crucified in Jerusalem: Why Does Revelation Say Sodom and Egypt?

/0 Comments/in , , /by

It’s no secret to millions of Christians that Jesus was put to death in Jerusalem, according to the New Testament gospels.

But many often wonder about a cryptic statement at the end of the Bible indicating He was crucified in “Sodom and Egypt,” two other locations, neither of which is Jerusalem.

How can this be? Is the Bible somehow being inconsistent with itself? . . .

“There is a very simple answer to this which reveals Scripture is completely true and consistent,” says Joe Kovacs, author of the inspiring book, “Reaching God Speed: Unlocking the Secret Broadcast Revealing the Mystery of Everything.”

“We all need to realize the Word of God is not always broadcasting on the physical, human level. It’s often airing its message on a higher level, often called the parable or spiritual level. It’s the method in which Jesus exclusively spoke.”

Scripture notes: “Jesus spoke all these things to the crowd in parables; he did not say anything to them without using a parable.” (Matthew 13:34 NIV)

“So in addition to the physical meaning, there’s that higher parable meaning as well. I call it ‘God speed,’ as we’re all getting up to speed on the way God thinks, operates and broadcasts His glorious message,” Kovacs explains.

Nearly 400 Colleges and Universities Refuse to Close DEI Offices

/0 Comments/in , , /by

A recent report from an education watchdog has found that colleges and universities across the nation are still operating diversity, equity, and inclusion offices and programs, despite President Donald Trump’s executive order demanding an end to DEI initiatives among any organizations that receive federal funding.

Defending Education, the higher education arm of Parents Defending Education, published a report this week detailing how nearly 400 colleges and universities in the U.S. still operate DEI offices and programs. Only 16 colleges and universities have shuttered their DEI initiatives.

According to the report, 242 universities still operate DEI offices or programs, as do 162 schools or colleges. Defending Education also found that 26 universities or colleges have simply “rebranded” or “renamed” their DEI offices and programs, in an apparent effort to avoid detection. Examples of new names used to hide DEI initiatives include “Access,” “Advocacy,” “Belonging,” “Community,” “Compliance,” “Inclusive Excellence,” “Institutional Excellence,” “Resilience,” and “Success.”

The report is “not exhaustive,” but it surveyed colleges and universities in 46 states and the District of Columbia. California had the most schools with DEI programs at 27, followed by New York at 24, Illinois at 17, and Massachusetts at 15. Many universities run multiple DEI initiatives, including offices or programs within specialist or graduate schools. The majority of these projects identified by Defending Education are located within medical schools, nursing schools, and engineering schools.

In comments to The Washington Stand, Family Research Council Senior Fellow for Education Studies Meg Kilgannon said, “It would be naive to think that reforming educational institutions could be accomplished by the stroke of a pen.” She explained, “DEI is rooted in a belief system that is enforced, but more than that, it is accepted and believed. The hearts and minds of people running colleges and universities must change if we want true reform. It will take generations to transform higher education.” Kilgannon added, “Prayer, fasting, and the engagement of Christians in the process is necessary.” (Read more from “Nearly 400 Colleges and Universities Refuse to Close DEI Offices” HERE)

NASA Discovery Linked to Jesus Crucifixion ‘Reveals Exact Day He Died’

/0 Comments/in , , /by

A discovery by NASA may confirm the Biblical account of Jesus’ crucifixion, according to researchers from Oxford University.

The Bible states that the sun turning into darkness and the moon into blood, which some scholars believe referenced events following Christ’s death.

NASA’s models, which trace the positions of the Earth, moon, and sun through history, show a lunar eclipse occurred on Friday, April 3, 33AD — the year traditionally linked to Jesus’ death.

The cosmic event would have been visible in Jerusalem shortly after sunset, and the position of the moon would have given it a reddish hue.

The Biblical historians believe the lunar eclipse identified by NASA was the same written about in the Bible.

The NASA discovery was made in the 1990s, but is now going viral on TikTok as today is known among Christians as the day Jesus was crucified. (Read more from “NASA Discovery Linked to Jesus Crucifixion ‘Reveals Exact Day He Died’” HERE)
