Army exempts trans service members from
physical fitness standards

Original Article

Diversity is our strength. Except, apparently, the more diversity the military seeks, the less strength it requires. That seems to be the lesson of the Army’s physical fitness standards, which do not apply to people who are getting “gender-affirming” care. One of the shibboleths of the Left is the claim that increasing the acceptance of “gender-diverse” individuals into the military merely extends the same opportunities to transgender folks as those afforded to people who identify with their natal sex (man, finding the right words is impossible when discussing these issues!). Combine this idea with the claim that “diversity is our strength,”

Their physical fitness test consists of a timed run of 3 laps around General Milley or as he is affectionately called at the Pentagon “The Donut King”.

Another admission of their unfitness for the US armed services. Which is still minute compared to their mental unfitness.

Why would they exempt transgenders?? Women weren't exempt from the men's standards for a long time. I don't know what they are now, but several years ago when my daughter was in the Army, she was held to the same standards as men. If you are going to be trans - you should be held to the same standards because you are claiming to be one or the other .

The military is not a video game competition. Physical condition is absolutely relevant. This policy change should -- by itself -- be enough to end, immediately, the policy that permits "trans" members in our military. (We should end the entire "gender ideology" madness; but at the very least get that crap out of the military.

I worry about how our armed forces will be able to perform with all the 'diversity' infiltrating the ranks. The wars in Kuwait, Iraq, and Afghanistan came about pretty suddenly in lands where LGBTQIAXYZ++ troops would be in great peril. That will undermine our unit cohesion.

It will be interesting to see the reaction of the troops when they start assigning so-called transgenders who do not have to meet physical fitness standards as infantry and ranger battalion and company commanders? You would think that holding soldiers to different physical fitness standards depending upon where they turn up in the diverse minority categories of Democrat identity politics would be a form of workplace discrimination?

What a chump I was. I busted tail for 20 years in attempts to meet their arbitrary physical fitness standards. I was almost thrown out twice for being fat. Nobody looked at duty performance, they just looked at if I was pretty enough for them. Now I know all I had to do was pretend to be a really ugly chick. They'd have left me alone, and as an added bonus I could have used the girls locker rooms and showers. I always do everything the hard way.

It took the military decades to exempt actual women from the standards required for male soldiers. Why are trannies weaker than women? In case this is not clear, the Army wants any trannie they can get to boost their woke score, blind, crippled or crazy. I'm glad I served before Obama came along.

Honduran Drug Dealers Say They’ve Flocked
to San Francisco Because of Sanctuary Laws

Posted by Dreadnought 7/10/2023 6:08:19 PM Post Reply
Honduran drug dealers have made a business hub out of San Francisco due to the progressive city’s sanctuary laws for illegal immigration, fueling the nation’s fentanyl epidemic and the visible decline of a major American city. San Francisco’s accommodative approach to illegal immigration makes it appealing to sell there, Honduran dealers told the San Francisco Chronicle as part of an in-depth investigation into how Honduran nationals have come to play a dominant role in the city’s drug crisis. Under current San Francisco law, last amended in July 2016, city employees are forbidden from using city resources to cooperate with any ICE investigation, detention, or arrest relating to an illegal immigration case.

Former Vice President Mike Pence remains committed to doling out military aid for Ukraine against Russia’s invasion if he wins the presidency in 2024. He isn’t very good at explaining why voters should agree with him. The Associated Press interviewed Pence about the “call for limited military assistance to Ukraine” from former President Donald Trump and Gov. Ron DeSantis (R-FL), his top GOP rivals. “With all due respect,” he said, “I think the former president and the governor of Florida just don’t understand Americans’ national interest in supporting the Ukrainian military in repelling the Russian military in Ukraine.”

Turkey has agreed to support Sweden's bid to join the NATO military alliance after a year of opposition, NATO Secretary General Jens Stoltenberg said on Monday. He called the moment a "historic step." Turkey President Recep Tayyip Erdogan agreed to send the accession protocol to the Turkish parliament for approval as soon as possible, the NATO chief said, noting that Erdogan would "ensure ratification." “Sweden will become a full member of the alliance,” Stoltenberg said. The news comes after Stoltenberg held talks between Erdogan and Swedish Prime Minister Ulf Kristersson the evening before the NATO summit was slated to begin in Vilnius,

“Sound of Freedom,” a religious thriller led by “The Passion of the Christ” star Jim Caviezel, is becoming an unlikely box office savior. The faith-based movie about child sex trafficking has collected an impressive $40 million after six days of release. Angel Studios opened “Sound of Freedom” last Tuesday, generating a mighty $14.2 million on Independence Day. The film picked up another $18.2 million between Friday and Sunday, enough to place third on domestic box office charts behind “Insidious: The Red Door” ($32.6 million) and “Indiana Jones and the Dial of Destiny” ($26.5 million). It’s also playing in 2,850 North American theaters — a smaller footprint

Conservatives have pointed out that whoever the new media enemy is turns into the worst person ever and the old hated Republican is seen in retrospect as not that bad compared to the new enemy. Bush was called evil and racist and compared to Hitler until John McCain & Mitt Romney ran for President. Then Bush was talked about favorably in comparison to the latter two.

An archbishop in the Church of England said the opening of the “Lord’s Prayer” is considered “problematic” to some people because the 2,000-year-old prayer starts by addressing God as “Our Father.” Archbishop of York Stephen Cottrell told the General Synod, the legislating and ruling body of the Church of England, that referring to God as “father” might be offensive to some people because of the negative connotations of patriarchy. “I know the word ‘father’ is problematic for those whose experience of earthly fathers has been destructive and abusive, and for all of us who have labored rather too much from an oppressively patriarchal grip on life,” Cottrell said,

Stein’s Law holds that “If something cannot go on forever, it will stop.” The late Herbert Stein made the observation about economic trends, but his axiom perfectly describes Joe Biden’s shaky dance with political death. The president is trying to navigate a narrow path between two potential disasters. Each one could prove fatal to his tenure, but if the twain shall meet, he doesn’t have a prayer. And it’s a near certainty they will meet because the facts we already know are overwhelmingly stacked against him and more damaging information is coming soon. One track of his predicament stems from general public unhappiness with his performance.

Major legal rulings that dismantled the use of race in college admissions, undermined protections for LGBTQ people and tossed out President Joe Biden’s student debt relief program marked the end of a Supreme Court term in which the conservative supermajority continued to exert its dominance. The majority also doubled down on a controversial legal theory that limits the power of federal agencies to take unilateral action. Meanwhile, the justices rejected a far-fetched argument that would have limited the role of state courts in election disputes and turned away an aggressive attempt to challenge Biden administration immigration policy – both areas in which lawyers on the right might have overreached in their arguments.

Treasury Secretary Janet Yellen was slammed for bowing multiple times when she met with China's vice premier He Lifeng, as some critics say the protocol error is a sign of American weakness. Yellen, who served as chair of the Federal Reserve before becoming Joe Biden's top financial official, wrapped up her first visit to China as treasury secretary on Sunday. Moments after bowing at least three times, Yellen then stumbled over He's name, calling him 'Vice Premier Hu.' Both Washington and Beijing said the meetings during her four-day trip were fruitful, although the visit - designed to help smooth a rocky relationship - did not generate any concrete agreements.
