Gold Star Families Sound Off on Biden’s Betrayal

Of all the disgraces history will curse Biden for, the most infuriating may be his betrayal of US troops serving in Afghanistan. His treatment of their survivors has been appalling:

The emotional testimony this week by the families of the 13 U.S. service members killed during President Biden’s chaotic military withdrawal in Afghanistan has cast renewed scrutiny on the president’s past treatment of Gold Star families. …

The U.S. military evacuation, which required thousands of additional U.S. troops on the ground and significant cooperation from the Taliban to complete, ended a day ahead of deadline on Aug. 30, 2021, leaving behind hundreds of U.S. citizens and tens of thousands of Afghan allies despite Biden’s promise days earlier to “get them all out.”

By “evacuation,” they mean unconditional surrender to the sandal-wearing savages who provided Al Qaeda the base from which to launch 9/11.

There has been no accountability, despite the Americans killed or abandoned, and despite the $billions worth of military equipment paid for by Americans and gifted by Biden to the Taliban.

“We were told lies, given incomplete reports, incorrect reports, total disrespect,” [Gold Star mother Kelly] Barnett said. “I was told to my face [son Staff Sergeant Taylor Hoover] died on impact. That’s not true. The only reason that I know this is because witnesses told me the truth. I was lied to and basically told to shut up.”

Shana Chappell, mother of Lance Corporal Kareem Nikoui, sounded off on Facebook about a meeting with Biden:

“You tried to interrupt me and give me your own sob story and I had to tell you, ‘This isn’t about you so don’t make it about you!’” Chappell wrote. “You then said you just wanted me to know that you know how I feel and I let you know that you don’t know how I feel and you do not have the right to tell me you know how I feel! You then rolled your f— eyes in your head like you were annoyed with me and I let you know that the only reason I was talking to you was out of respect for my son.”

Far from accepting meaningful responsibility for the debacle, Biden wouldn’t even stop looking at his watch as the corpses of Americans he had gotten killed were returned:

Darin Hoover, father of Utah Marine Darin Taylor Hoover Jr., said the president looked down at his watch not once but several times as the caskets were being offloaded.

“That didn’t happen just once. It happened on every single one that came out of that airplane. It happened on every single one of them. They would release the salute, and he would look down at his watch on every last one, all 13, he looked down at his watch,” Hoover said on Fox News’ “Hannity” in 2021.

Further, Biden insultingly steals valor by lying to Gold Star families that his son Beau died in Iraq.

As the cherry on top, he continues to shovel our money at the Taliban he surrendered to:

A report from the Special Inspector General for Afghanistan Reconstruction that was released a week ago found that since the American military left Kabul with 13 U.S. service members killed and with billions of dollars in equipment left behind, money has continued to flow in. …

“The U.S. government has appropriated more than $2.35 billion in [fiscal year] 2022 and [fiscal year] 2023 funding for Afghanistan reconstruction programming since the Taliban takeover of Afghanistan in August 2021,” the report stated.

This goes beyond treason to something so vile we have no word for it.

Here a Gold Star father calls on Biden and his stooges to have the honor to resign:

But there is no honor in Biden, or in the liberal establishment he personifies — as CNN demonstrates by ignoring the testimony:

Most Diverse Fighting Fice in the History of the World

Last night at Truman Civil Rights Symposium, the Commander in Chief crowed triumphantly that what’s left of the USA has “the most diverse fighting fice … in the history of the world”:

Biden misspoke of course. He meant to say “fighting farce.” Not that the transsexuals who have been prioritized are expected to fight — they are too privileged for that.

The US military is no farce yet. But with the likes of Biden at the top, implementing their agenda through Pentagon brass comprised of moonbats, it will be soon.

Pentagon Memo Details Transsexual Privilege in Military

For those serving as guinea pigs in the social engineering laboratory formerly known as the US Armed Forces, there is no privilege like transsexual privilege. The Dossier has gotten its hands on a lengthy Pentagon memo that details the special treatment servicemembers receive for advancing the liberal agenda by pretending to be members of the opposite sex.

Highlights:

1. Taxpayer funded “care” for transgender service members includes:

    o speech/voice therapy

    o cross-sex hormones,

    o laser hair removal,

    o voice feminization surgery,

    o facial contouring,

    o body contouring,

    o breast/chest surgery (“upper surgery”)

    o genital mutilation surgery (“lower surgery”).

    o psychological counseling

2. Service members who identify as transgender may receive a waiver for grooming and uniform standards.

3. Service members who identify as transgender may receive an indefinite waiver for physical fitness standards. …

4. Service members who identify as transgender will be considered “non-deployable” for up to 300 days while taking hormones for their “transition” period.

Because sustaining the transsexual illusion can require taking hormones for life, #4 could permanently excuse transsexuals from deployment — a nice perk if a war breaks out.

No word on whether Four Star Admiral “Rachel” Levine is willing to deploy.

As noted earlier,

The fact that they are mentally ill by definition is among the excellent reasons the military used to ban transsexuals. Now, the Pentagon goes out of its way to recruit from the militarily unsuitable LGBT community.

Yet the Pentagon recruitment crisis continues. Looks like despite all the grooming in public schools, there are still not enough transsexuals to staff the entire military.

A country that would allow itself to be governed by baizuos does not deserve to win wars, nor is it likely to, as the communist Chinese are aware.

Major “Rachel” Jones is proud of his privilege.

White House Calls Taxpayer Funding of Abortion Sacred

Liberalese and American English sometimes seem to be more similar than they actually are. For example, “sacred” is a word in both languages. However, the meaning is diametrically opposite. The damp weasel serving as National Security Council spokesmoonbat demonstrates how “sacred” is used in Liberalese:

John Kirby launched an impassioned defense of abortion funding for service members and their families on Monday, pounding the podium of the White House press briefing room as he called military access to abortion a “foundational, sacred obligation.”

Forcing taxpayers to finance the killing of inconvenient children is profane in American English, “sacred” in Liberalese.

This “sacred duty” entails providing paid leave and travel reimbursements to assist servicemembers stationed in states with abortion restrictions, so they can make their way to blue states where snuffing out innocent life is encouraged.

As observed at the website of Senator Tommy Tuberville (R-AL),

The Defense Department’s new abortion policy is patently illegal. Congress has never authorized special travel reimbursement benefits or paid leave for military personnel’s abortions. It flies in the face of the Hyde Amendment, which has prohibited taxpayer funding of most abortions since 1977.

We know this was written in American English, because the word “illegal” also has a different meaning. In Liberalese, it can never be applied to the malfeasance of Democrat officeholders.

37% of US Attack Subs Out of Commission

Here’s some encouraging news — if you are Xi Jinping:

On June 16, 2023, a date which will live in infamy, the Pearl Harbor base featured the story of Lt. Nick Grant, an “out gay cisgender man” who was a co-chair of the Naval Medical Force Pacific Transgender Care Team (NMFP TGCT).

The title of the Pride Month feature was “serving with pride”.

The purpose of a US Navy transgender care team is to help sailors transition to make-believe members of the opposite sex.

Meanwhile,

In 2017, 28% of submarines were out of commission. By 2022, it was 33%, and now it’s 37%. At the rate that the woke Naval brass are going, most subs will soon be out of order. …

If only the Navy could repair subs as quickly as its transgender care teams castrate sailors.

It is America in general that liberals have been castrating.

The Navy doesn’t focus all of its attention on promoting perversion and sexual psychosis. The other major priorities are racial favoritism and the global warming hoax:

The Navy’s 2023 budget wastes $718 million on fighting global warming.

There is no evidence that any amount of our money wasted by the Navy will have a measurable impact on the climate — but plenty of evidence that the ChiComs will begin filling the power vacuum by annexing Taiwan.

They won’t stop there.

On the bright side, when Chinese conquerors come to our shores, they will make Pride Month stop.

What Democrats Have Been Doing to the Military

The communist Chinese won’t be sitting on their hands for long. Antony Blinken already gave them a green light to conquer our crucial ally Taiwan. It’s not as if this guy is going to stop them:

Major Rachel is not aberration, but the personification of a concentrated effort to farcify the US military into an institution befitting liberal rule.

Via Townhall:

The U.S. Army published a story about Major Rachel Jones who claims to be a transgender woman that has recently come out and is now “living authentically.”

“Authentic” is Liberalese for indisputably artificial, as when a man pretends to be a woman.

Jones is the U.S. Army Sustainment Command Cyber Division chief, G6 (Information Management), who “struggled with depression and suicidal ideation for most of her [sic] life. Today, she [sic] is living her truth [sic] and is no longer battling depression or suicidal thoughts.”

The fact that they are mentally ill by definition is among the excellent reasons the military used to ban transsexuals. Now, the Pentagon goes out of its way to recruit from the militarily unsuitable LGBT community.

The other major emphasis of our military is to avoid using fossil fuels, because according to Democrat doctrine, they are offensive to the climate. Consequently,

The Army’s 25th Infantry Division will run field tests of a multi-ton wheeled battery pack—one that can tote a machine gun—sometime after early 2025, as part of the service’s sweeping plans to reduce its reliance on fossil fuels.

Electric vehicles are not reliable enough for civilian use. Imagine being stuck with them in combat. But at least the imaginary climate gods will smile upon us.

We are not going to win any wars with Democrats in charge. Our enemies know this and are planning accordingly.

White Male Pilots Are “Useless” to RAF

After the Battle of Britain, the world stood in awe of the Royal Air Force, which staved off Nazi invasion against overwhelming odds. Great cultures produce great men to defend them. Such men have no place in cultures that are not worth defending. The RAF isn’t looking for heroes anymore. It is looking for pilots who are not British men:

A newly leaked email from Jan. 19, 2021, revealed that Squadron Leader Andrew Harwin, who worked in the Officer and Aircrew Selection Center, expressed concern to recruiter colleagues “that the boards have recently been predominantly white male heavy,” reported the Telegraph.

“If we don’t have enough BAME [black, Asian, minority ethnic] and female to board then we need to make the decision to pause boarding and seek more BAME and female from the RF [recruitment force],” continued the letter.

In a society experiencing liberal decay, the purpose of the military is not to win wars, but to advance sexual perversion and discriminate against white men.

Harwin reportedly further indicated it would be preferable to limit the number of trainees admitted to courses than to have too many pilots with undesirable racial traits.

Being a European in a European country is regarded as an undesirable racial trait by the moonbats in charge.

“I don’t really need to see loads of useless white male pilots, let’s get as focused as possible, I am more than happy to reduce boarding if needed to have a balanced BAME/female/male board,” he wrote.

The pilots who saved Britain from the Nazis would today qualify as “useless,” because few if any of them would have served the purpose of not being white men.

Despite admitting in a second letter to canceling two boards because they comprised white men, Harwin noted that “the pot for BAME and female is drained. … The demand signal needs to go back to RF to focus now on sending all the BAME and female they have.”

This policy has had the desired effective of stalling recruitment of white male pilots.

Following the revelation that pilots may have had their careers stymied or ended on the basis of their race, the RAF announced that 31 white pilots would be compensated, reported the Times.

But it’s only taxpayers’ money, so no lesson has been learned. RAF bureauweenies squeak that they will “continue doing everything we can to increase our recruiting intake from under-represented groups within the provisions of the law.” Or outside the provisions of the law, until someone makes an issue of it.

Down in hell, Hitler is kicking himself for not waiting a few decades, for when invading Britain would be a cakewalk.

Farcification of US Military Under Liberal Rule

The goal is not just to destroy the US military, but first to reduce it from one of our most revered institutions to a source of shame. How else to explain the use of a drag queen for Navy recruitment?

Yeoman 2nd Class Joshua Kelley, stage name Harpy Daniels, announced the Navy invited him to become the first “Navy Digital Ambassador” in a November 2022 social media post, highlighting his journey from performing on deck in 2018 to becoming a “leader” and “advocate” of people who “were oppressed for years in the service.”

He specifically cites the former Don’t Ask Don’t Tell policy (i.e., go ahead and be a pervert but don’t make a spectacle out of it because that would undermine cohesion) as what he means by being “oppressed.”

This moonbattery can be expected to compound the Navy’s recruitment problem by attracting dissolute degenerates while causing suitable candidates to turn away in revulsion.

Kelley said he was “hand selected as one of four Navy Digital Ambassadors” in a social media post. …

He first started performing on ships after a sanctioned MWR (Morale, Welfare and Recreation) lip syncing competition in 2017 while deployed on the USS Ronald Reagan aircraft carrier, Herzog wrote. Kelley “continues to slay in performances that boost morale and show support for LGBTQ+ service members.”

That’s how the Biden Regime has servicemen spending their time while the ChiComs tighten a noose around Taiwan.

Kelley said he faced harassment from outside the military after he was scheduled to perform at a Diversity, Equity and Inclusion (DEI) event at Langley Joint Air Force Base in the summer of 2022 that “caused an uproar to many conservatives and Christian extremists.”

Anyone who objects to sexual perversion rubbed in the public’s face is an “extremist,” according to the extremists calling the shots. Fortunately for “Harpy Daniels,” he has a safe haven from disapproval in today’s woke military.

The Navy is seeking to boost its size to 347,000 officers and enlisted sailors in 2024, up from the current 341,736 serving in fiscal year 2023, according to Navy Times.

Good luck with that. Maybe try putting up flyers in San Francisco bathhouses.

America prevailed in past wars because so many were motivated to face death for their country. When the USA stands less for liberty than for decadence, morale will be a problem. Gasps US Navy SEAL Team Six member Robert J. O’Neill, who took party in the mission that killed Osama bin Laden:

“Alright. The US Navy is now using an enlisted sailor Drag Queen as a recruiter. I’m done. China is going to destroy us. YOU GOT THIS NAVY. I can’t believe I fought for this bulls-t.”

Meanwhile, as the Pentagon intensifies its focus on promoting LGBTism, it flounders in front of countries that are essential in the struggle to contain China:

The Philippines’ president was on hand Wednesday as one of the U.S. Army’s best-known weapons missed its target — a decommissioned warship floating miles away in the South China Sea — during a live-fire exercise.

President Ferdinand Marcos Jr. observed from a tower as the High Mobility Artillery Rocket System, or HIMARS, fired six times at the Philippine navy corvette, invisible over the horizon, and a narrator over a public address system described the action down range.

Maybe if they painted the target to look like a Boy Scout’s behind, the sort of recruits they have been going after would be able to focus on it more effectively.

The mismanagement goes beyond recruitment:

The US Air Force is the biggest and most powerful air force in the world: but maybe not for long. The service is struggling through twin crises – one of money, another of belief in itself – that could narrow its aerial advantage. …

The USAF isn’t the only American armed service that’s shrinking while its Chinese adversary is growing. After wasting billions of dollars on ships that don’t work, the US Navy is contracting even as Xi Jinping’s fleet is expanding.

The problem isn’t that bureaucrats won’t spend money. It’s that they spend it stupidly.

The $400-billion [F-35 Lightning II] project has eaten the Air Force. …

Every dollar the USAF feeds the F-35 program is a dollar it can’t spend on planes that are affordable and reliable.

The USAF has ever fewer planes; the ChiComs build ever more. Meanwhile, the Chinese are hardening their bases from missile attacks in preparation for the invasion of Taiwan, while Americans have been withdrawing permanently based fighter squadrons from the area.

Alexander the Great weighs in on the topic of a military run by liberals:

I am not afraid of an army of lions led by a sheep; I am afraid of an army of sheep led by a lion. - Alexander the Great

An army of drag queens led by Commander in Chief Joe Biden would not frighten Alexander the Great, the ChiComs, or anyone else — except those of us relying on it for security.

Biden Regime Plans All-Electric Military Fleet

Lest you think there is any chance of the USA prevailing in the inevitable war with China under Democrat rule, consider that Energy Secretary Jennifer Granholm is pushing for an all-EV military:

Granholm said that she supports electrifying the Department of Defense’s (DOD) non-tactical vehicle fleet by 2030, during an exchange with Republican Sen. Joni Ernst of Iowa, at a Wednesday hearing of the Senate Armed Services Committee.

Under Democrat control, the Pentagon is not worried about defeating communists. Its objectives are to promote homosexuality and antiwhite race hate and to pretend to control the weather:

The U.S. Army is currently committed to electrifying its light-duty non-tactical vehicle fleet by 2027, with hybrids bridging the gap to full electrification by 2035, according to the Army’s 2022 Climate Strategy. The Army is also seeking to cut greenhouse gas emissions by 50% from 2005 levels by 2030, and hit net-zero emissions by 2050.

At last a use will be found for the vast numbers of EV charging stations Biden has inflated our currency to install. Currently they may serve largely as hangouts for bums, but after the ChiComs invade, our armed forces can use them to keep vehicles charged while retreating.

The outlandishly expensive, unreliable, far from durable, combustion-prone batteries that help make electric vehicles economically absurd depend heavily on materials from China:

China owns many of the rare minerals needed to produce EV batteries. Moving the United States armed services to an all-EV fleet is tantamount to making the military dependent on China. China occupies a bottleneck position when it comes to the minerals needed for EV batteries.

Let’s hope the ChiComs don’t think to cut off our supply after Biden et al. weakness-signal their way into WWIII.

Here Comes a War We Can’t Afford to Lose

Meanwhile, as communists make final preparations to conquer Taiwan…

China’s military is rehearsing the encirclement of Taiwan during three days of military drills. …

The exercises began hours after President Tsai Ing-wen returned from a trip to the United States.

The Taiwanese Defence Ministry said 71 Chinese military planes and nine ships crossed the Taiwan Strait median line.

The line is an unofficial dividing line between Chinese and Taiwanese territory.

…Commander in Chief Joe Biden prepares by ensuring that the Navy is a “safe space” for the sexually abnormal…

When a rainbow-colored Navy training video on the proper use of preferred pronouns surfaced last year, many people thought it was a joke. Sadly, many people were wrong.

Recently, a top Department of Defense official offered testimony to Congress that doubled down on the video’s underlying message: the armed services must be a “safe space” in which each and every member feels validated and affirmed on his and/or her journey of self-discovery. Remarkably, the video discussed how to make the Navy a “safe space” for people who wish to explore their gender identity. …

The DOD’s chief diversity and inclusion officer (CDIO) reportedly told the House Armed Services Committee that the “concerns young Americans have about safety are negatively impacting [military] recruiting.” The CDIO further claimed that potential recruits do not “feel safe reporting to work for fear of discrimination.”

…and passing out goodie bags to children at drag queen events on military bases.

By the way,

The U.S. has devoted millions of rounds of munitions to Ukraine since Russia invaded more than a year ago, draining U.S. stockpiles and setting off alarm bells in Congress and the White House on the state of America’s arsenal in light of higher-than-expected consumption rates in Ukraine. Senior leaders in the Department of Defense and military service branches, in statements to justify the Pentagon’s budget request for the coming year, warned that the U.S. has massive hurdles to overcome to rebuild to the level necessary to counter China, and remains vulnerable in the meantime.

Turns out giving all our ammo to a corrupt backwater country to fight a war that has nothing to do with us may not have been the best military strategy.

Even leftist hack Mark Milley has enough sense to get out before it hits the fan.

Nothing invites aggression like weakness. Rotted through with corruption, senility, and liberalism, Joe Biden is weakness incarnate. The power vacuum created by America’s self-induced decline will be filled violently.

ChiComs Colonize Argentina

Meanwhile, as liberals shriek about the need to “decolonize” and the US military focuses on promoting sexual perversion and punishing whiteness, our communist Chinese adversaries extend their colonial tentacles into the Western Hemisphere:

The pressure and influence of communist China on Argentina’s leftist government has increased in recent weeks, as China seeks to take advantage of Argentina’s economic and social distress to take control of its strategic sectors, according to a report published by the Argentine news website Infobae on Thursday.

The report states that Chinese diplomats, led by China’s ambassador to Argentina Zou Xiaoli, are demanding shorter deadlines for the takeover of a large part of Argentina’s energy sector and are urging the Argentine government to grant them management of the country’s canals and navigable rivers, which would grant the communist regime sizeable control of the region’s grain trade.

China attempted to seize control of Kenya’s Port of Mombasa using the same tactic of infrastructure “investment” but encountered pushback. It appears that leadership in Argentina will be more accommodating:

Argentina, under the leftist government of president Alberto Fernández, has adopted a notoriously pro-China stance, joining China’s predatory Belt and Road Initiative (BRI) in February 2022 during Fernández’s official visit to Beijing — where Fernández laid a wreath to honor communist mass murderer Mao Zedong. …

Shortly after joining BRI, both countries signed a Memorandum of Accession to grant Argentina a two-part Chinese financing package for “strategic infrastructure works.”

That’s how colonialism works now. The British Empire had the Maxim gun. The ChiComs have money, as a result of unions and environmentalists forcing the outsourcing of Western manufacturing.

Argentina is only a foothold:

The Infobae report further states that … both countries will discuss granting China the exploitation of the Paraná-Paraguay waterway, a more than 3,400 kilometer long natural river transport corridor that extends through the Paraná and Paraguay rivers that allows for continuous navigation between the ports of Argentina, Brazil, Bolivia, Paraguay and Uruguay.

China has already built a military space station in Argentina.

In 2019, Pentagon officials warned about the potential threats that the base represented, expressing their growing concerns that the Chinese could use it to monitor and potentially target U.S. and allied satellites.

But then came the election of 2020. Now, Pentagon officials are more concerned with alternative pronouns and hyping the global warming hoax.

Argentina is essentially a European country — more so than the USA by demographics. But it succumbed to leftism under Juan Peron. Thanks to inflation and government dependency, it has never been able to recover.

The Monroe Doctrine holds that the Western Hemisphere is America’s sphere of interest and that interference in it by a foreign power constitutes aggression against the USA. But James Monroe was a cisgender white guy who no doubt has been slated for cancelation.

Comparative Recruitment Ads Spell Doom for the West

If aliens watching from outer space are placing bets, the smart money will not be on countries were wokeism has prevailed:

Recruits fit to become soldiers are not looking for gay hookups in a liberal social engineering lab. They are looking to win fights.

The subversion of the military by moonbats has had such a devasting effect on recruitment that the Army has been forced to revive the “Be All You Can Be” theme from the 1980s. But recruits already know what kind of Commander in Chief they would be fighting under — and what kind of Liberal World Order they would be fighting for.

The war that matters is already underway. The opponent is not Russian or Chinese. If we lose the current war against the degenerate leftist enemy within, the resulting power vacuum will make WWIII inevitable. But that will only be an epilogue, serving to put what’s left of the West out of its misery.

Pentagon Panel Recommends Denying Troops Guns

Under Democrat rule, the military is undergoing the fundamental transformation that reduces every institution corrupted by moonbattery to a pathetic joke. A Pentagon panel has recommended troops under age 25 be restricted from buying guns lest they shoot themselves:

The Suicide Prevention and Response Independent Review Committee (SPRIRC) was formed by the Department of Defense in March 2020 to help combat the rising rate of suicides among servicemembers.

In the committee’s report, released Friday, the independent body recommends, “On DoD property, raise the minimum age for purchasing firearms and ammunition to 25 years.”

They really mean it:

The committee designated the suggested ban on gun purchases for soldiers under 25 as “high priority” and a factor that “must change.”

When it comes to suicide, where there is a will, there is away. Nanny state authoritarians ignore this as they bark that if you are killed by a gun, it will probably be your own. Having taken control, these people are now implementing policies based on their talking points.

It would be difficult for soldiers to defend a country that will not entrust them with firearms. But that is not an issue, as the ongoing invasion across the southern border attests. Liberals see the military as a social engineering laboratory, not a fighting force. Guns are superfluous. The important thing is to instill CRT and LGBT indoctrination in captive young minds.

Rather than employ constructive solutions like deploying the military, Democrats have addressed the border crisis by blathering about root causes. But they will not apply this approach to suicide in the military, because the root cause is cratering morale resulting from liberal subversion. Denying troops guns lest they hurt themselves will not improve the esprit de corps.

Countermoonbat Pushback at Virginia Military Institute

The Virginia Military Institute, alma mater of the great George Patton, tragically succumbed to the Long March Through the Institutions. A Moonbat of Color has been put in charge of subverting it to serve the leftist racial agenda. But an attempt is underway to restore the USA’s oldest public senior military college.

The New York Post reports:

Cedric Wins, 60, launched diversity, equity and inclusion initiatives after taking the helm of VMI in October 2020.

He laid out a five-goal plan for “Inclusive Excellence” by citing the mission to “achieve and maintain a more diverse and inclusive student body, faculty, staff, and administration.”

“Inclusive excellence” is a classically Orwellian oxymoron. The point is to sacrifice excellence to “inclusivity” — i.e., the exclusion of the core population of white male heterosexuals in accordance with cultural Marxism.

Wins’ classmates of 1985 are not ready to give the school up as lost:

Ex-Marine Matt Daniel, 60, a fellow “brother rat,” as VMI classmates are known, founded a political action committee dubbed “Spirit of VMI” to fight the 183-year-old school’s new progressive efforts.

The group is shining light on the lucrative scam that is exclusionary “inclusion”:

Spirit of VMI has questioned why the school’s Board of Visitors awarded Wins a $100,000 bonus on top of his annual salary of $656,000 — despite a 25 percent drop in enrollment.

Wins has in the past denounced Daniel as being “racist.” No doubt Daniel will be clubbed with the accusation again for trying to prevent his school from being flushed down the toilet.

Success is hardly assured, but a Marine doesn’t stop fighting a war that isn’t over. Neither should any of us.
