New Pentagon Diversity Chief ‘Reassigned’

He embarrassed the administration by getting caught.

“The Pentagon is now the Yale faculty lounge, but with cruise missiles. That should concern you,” Carlson said, adding that the U.S.’s military leadership has gone “woke.”
 
“His Facebook page gives some indication of who he is,” Carlson said. “On it you will find an attack on the police as racist, you’ll find crude BLM propaganda, you will find a photograph of Donald Trump holding a bible in front of a church. Next to Trump is a photograph of Adolf Hitler.”

The Power Of No

This is not 30, 20, 10 or even five years ago.

Over the last two decades, normal Americans have found themselves attacked by every institution they had expected to protect them – academia, the media, the NFL…
 
Even law enforcement betrayed them, in the form of kneeling cops & the FBI/DOJ cabal that tried to take down the man they elected President.
 
So normals were not naive and vulnerable – they were prepared to be betrayed when the woke .mil leadership abandoned its principles.

The Great Healing Forward

Jack Posobiec needs to move to Gab.

WH source: The NRA, Turning Point USA & Patriot Guard Riders are three of many non-militia groups on the list CID / FBI are using to cross reference in vetting for potential “extremists”
 
“YAF also on the list”
 
“They’re looking at various TPUSA chapters in almost every university and high school where there is one (for example high school members who are in the future soldier program, which is Army’s version of Delayed Entry Program) + college age soldiers obviously already in.”
 
“Investigators also looking for the following in pictures: MAGA / KAG apparel, Gadsden flag, Confederate Flag, NRA gear, Q stuff”
 
“Soldiers facebooks, twitters, instagrams, tik-toks and snapchats also being checked, units from deep red states such as Texas being thoroughly examined.”
 
“Left wing, anarchist groups also listed but not a top priority, in fact zero have been investigated as of this evening. Leaders in both Army + FBI have directed to focus attention on groups with “strong conservative sentiments”
 
“NCIS, AFOSI, CGIS also expecting to receive that directive from senior DoD officials in the coming days, this goes way beyond the inauguration. It won’t magically stop after tomorrow.”

OTOH, this thread will still exist when Twitter nukes his account.

Veterans Day

Via email — “Please see attached photo of a small portion of the 1,250 American flags erected by the local Rotary Club in honor of our Veterans Day. The flags extend for almost a mile along our bayfront. Each is individually sponsored in honor or remembrance of a veteran.” — Steve from Corpus Christi, TX

“This is why no one will remember your name”.

Well, maybe one.

More here. Some think the characterization of CalFire is unfair, and they may have a point. And from the responses: “Just in case anybody who still wants to waste their time and or money watching overpaid millionaires in tight pants knelling [sic] on the football field. This is what real heroes do and look like!”

“A Special Forces Soldier’s Case For Leaving Afghanistan.”

Via Instapundit;

Former White House war czar and three-star general Douglas Lute is quoted as saying, “We were devoid of a fundamental understanding of Afghanistan — we didn’t know what we were doing,” and, “We didn’t have the foggiest notion of what we were undertaking.” This was not the message conveyed by either the Bush or Obama administrations.
 
Even more alarming are revelations that false metrics were purposely cited to support the narrative that the war was proceeding effectively. Army Col. Bob Crowley relays, “Every data point was altered to present the best picture possible … surveys, for instance, were totally unreliable but reinforced that everything we were doing was right and we became a self-licking ice cream cone.” High-ranking members of two administrations and senior military commanders were aware of a clear lack of purpose in Afghanistan, yet lied to the American people to justify the continuing conflict.

The UnBenghazi

Mourning is over.

Do tell.

“This is HUGE for big-time athletes who also want to serve their country”

Not related, but close enough to mention here: Rep. Jeff Van Drew, a moderate Democrat who is strongly opposed to impeaching President Donald Trump, is expected to switch parties and become a Republican

Update: Why look. They’re showing up to riot.

US Navy Corruption and the Gallagher Case

Sean Gallagher, Navy Times;

In this partisan environment, people were quick to judge President Donald J. Trump’s reinstatement of anchors to my brother, Special Warfare Operator Chief Edward “Eddie” Gallagher.
 
Out of the woodwork came former military attorneys, indignant Pentagon officials and your typical Washington establishment types.
 
Their views were mainly the same. The president’s actions were a moral hazard! What message will it send our troops? What of good order and discipline?
 
I have one question for these people: Where in the hell were you the past year and a half?

Appalling

And entirely predictable: U.S. Spends Millions to Train Bomb-Sniffing Dogs Gifted to Arab Nations that Abuse Them (sorry, link fixed)

It is a heartbreaking story involving the taxpayer-funded Explosive Detection Canine Program (EDCP), which also provides specially trained dogs to foreign nations—mostly Arabic—under an antiterrorism assistance project operated by the State Department. The goal is to enhance the ability of their law enforcement agencies to deter and counter terrorism. The State Department doesn’t bother following up to assure that the recipient nations are keeping their end of the agreement to adequately care for the precious animals. The sordid details resulting from the government’s negligence are only public because the State Department Inspector General received an anonymous complain on its hotline. The watchdog launched an investigation and published the findings in a lengthy report that includes agonizing pictures of the victims in the custody of their foreign handlers.
