Democrats spent 2020 egging on Black Lives Matter and Antifa, who attacked American heritage by destroying hundreds of statues of the giants who define our nation. Democrat action in Afghanistan has added insult to injury by subjecting our heritage to ridicule:
Propaganda videos posted this week on channels affiliated with the Taliban show soldiers in the little-known Badri 313 Battalion carrying U.S. and U.S. ally-made weapons and gear that appear to be stolen from allied militaries while patrolling parts of Kabul.
In one propaganda photo, members of the Badri 313 Battalion are seen hoisting a Taliban flag in a similar fashion to the six U.S. Marines who raised the U.S. flag on Mount Suribachi during the Battle of Iwo Jima in 1945.
Looks like Taliban savages may know more about American history than American schoolchildren do these days:

Has liberal propaganda eaten away at our self-respect to the point that we can no longer experience anger? If so, Democrats will get away with creating this state of affairs.
On tips from Anonymous, Dragon’s Lair, and Mr. Freemarket.
Considering that we spent 20 years training and showering $billions upon the Afghan army, how is it that it lost without noticeable resistance to the Taliban that it vastly outnumbered? Although everyone but Biden knew this would happen, it seems strange, considering that the Taliban consists of backwater savages who do not enjoy state of the art training or lavishly expensive equipment (until now that they have captured ours). This might help explain it:
The Afghan army was trained and supervised by General Mark Milley, the US Commander that insisted before Congress a month ago that he is fine with military officers and soldiers being indoctrinated with the divisive racist critical race theory which will leave brothers in arms looking suspiciously at each other, questioning the moral strength of their racist country as they go into battle against lethal enemies.
A low-wattage left-wing apparatchik who considers the greatest threat to America to be Republicans is Chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff. The Secretary of Defense is cut of the same defective cloth. They both take orders from the handlers of the one person no one could possibly respect, Joe Biden, who is infamous for always being wrong.
Until this state of affairs is corrected, any military development that is not a total debacle will come as a surprise.
Racial discrimination used to be bad, because it worked in favored of whites. Now it is good, because it works against whites. An example from our fundamentally transformed hyperwoke military:
According to the chief of naval personnel, removing photos from promotion boards has hurt the Navy’s diversity goal.
“I think we should consider reinstating photos in selection boards,” Vice Adm. John Nowell Jr. said Tuesday at a panel discussion on diversity at the annual Sea Air Space conference at a convention center outside of Washington, D.C.
Nowell said that when the photos were removed, diversity declined.
This is because without the photos, promotion was more likely to be based on merit instead of identity group, in violation of the ideology of the ruling party, which dictates that we must be judged by the color of our skin rather than the content of our character or our job performance.
Then-Defense Secretary Mark Esper barred the use of photos in promotion boards in July 2020 as part of a series of steps aimed at eliminating “discrimination, prejudice and bias in all ranks” to promote equal opportunity, morale and the readiness of the force.
Looks like the brass doesn’t want to ban discrimination, prejudice, and bias after all. At least, the current brass doesn’t.
The Marines are also looking into bringing back the photos, so as to facilitate race-based promotion.
Defense Secretary Lloyd Austin, who implemented a military-wide stand-down to purge the armed forces of “white supremacism” immediately after taking office, confirms that the Department of Defense “will lead with our values, building diversity, equity, and inclusion into all aspects of our work and in everything we do.” Inflicting systemic racism and sexism on white men is Priority #1.
To get an idea of what promotion by identity group will do to military competence, have a look at the Biden Administration, where key figures like Kamala Harris were selected explicitly on the basis of identity group.
An inept military will not get the better of the ChiComs, no matter how many brownie points the liberal establishment gives it for diversity.
— Secretary of Defense Lloyd J. Austin III (@SecDef) July 29, 2021
The both masked and face-shielded, fist-bumping, and no doubt thoroughly vaccinated Lloyd Austin is at hardly more risk from Covid than he is from the “white supremacists” he has been purging from the military.
The USA under Democrat rule is not an easy country to take seriously. We are in the position of the former toughest guy on the cell block who is revealed to have suddenly turned into a pansy. Thanks to not having a credible President or Secretary of Defense, we will soon find ourselves in a position where we need both more than ever.
Step One, Obama purged the officer corps of people who might put up resistance. Step Two, Biden’s handlers put leftists Lloyd Austin and Mark Milley atop the military command structure. Step Three, the Pentagon allowed NATO to set up a headquarters at a military base in Virginia:
On 15 July 2021, Allied Joint Force Command Norfolk declared Full Operational Capability and marked the occasion with a ceremony presided over by its Commander, Vice Admiral Andrew Lewis. General Milley, the US Chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff also attended the ceremony.
The Democrat Party is explicitly anti-American. It does not want America to be in the driver’s seat. It wants to rule this country in the name of the globalist elite, similar to the way its Silicon Valley enablers run things.
Where NATO is concerned, Americans will still get to pay most of the bills. But we won’t necessarily make the decisions.
Ever since the Soviet Union collapsed, some have been wondering why NATO still exists. This development may offer an alarming clue.
Step Four will be eventual occupation by the United Nations. A pair of anti-Americans, Secretary of State Antony Blinken and UN Ambassador Linda Thomas-Greenfield, are already laying the rhetorical groundwork. The same principle will apply regarding Americans paying the bills but not making the decisions, as foreigners take control of our soil.
Chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff Mark Milley is more worried about mythical “white rage” than the People’s Liberation Army because he is more political hack than military leader, hence his current position. Like the figurehead he serves, he tends to be wrong. But sometimes a stopped clock is right.
Milley was allegedly so worried that then-President Donald Trump might attempt a coup after the presidential election last year that he and other service chiefs discussed a plan to resign rather than carry it out, according to reports about a forthcoming book by two Washington Post reporters.
“This is a Reichstag moment… The gospel of the Führer,” Milley told aides, according to CNN, which obtained advance excerpts of the book I Alone Can Fix It by Post reporters Carol Leonnig and Philip Rucker.
What Milley is right about is that there was a Reichstag moment on January 6. A rowdy mob that had been infiltrated by the FBI took advantage of scandalously lax security to trespass in the People’s House, possibly as a result of instigation by agents of the federal government. Although a window broken by a leftist infiltrator and an unauthorized person sitting at Nancy Pelosi’s desk may pale in comparison with burning down the German parliament building, the media/Democrat Party has made up the difference by relentlessly hyping the incident, shrieking that it was more serious than 9/11 and even the Civil War. Just like the Reichstag fire, January 6 has been exploited by the ruling party as a pretext to inflict tyranny, as those who have been hunted by the FBI or locked in solitary confinement for suspicion of trespassing can attest.
Less hilarious than Milley’s hysteria about a Trump coup d’état is his ferociously hostile attitude toward half the American population:
Milley also reportedly told aides ahead of a pro-Trump “Million MAGA March” in November that he feared it could be the “modern American equivalent of ‘brownshirts in the streets,’” referring to the pro-Nazi militia supporting Hitler’s rise.
Despite cheating by Democrats, Trump racked up over 74 million votes in 2020. That is a lot of Nazis to deal with. No worries; Milley and his fellow leftist Defense Secretary Lloyd Austin exhibit the fanatism to handle the job.
Iran under the rule of ayatollahs has Islam. America under the rule of equally fanatical Democrats has critical race theory. It is not hyperbole to call this vicious, totalitarian ideology our state religion. Joe Biden has made it official with one of his many executive orders:
Biden signed an executive order on Friday that ensures that every part of the federal government will conduct race-conscious diversity training and engage in race-conscious hiring.
“Race-conscious” means everything is based on the race totem pole, with revered blacks at the top and despised whites at the bottom. That this is imposed by whites reflects a sickness so ghastly that to examine it closely would put Sigmund Freud in need of therapy.
The executive order “establishes an ambitious, whole-of-government initiative that will take a systematic approach to embedding DEIA [diversity, equity, inclusion, and accessibility] in Federal hiring and employment practices,” according to a White House fact sheet. In practice, it will ensure that federal agencies employ tenets associated with Critical Race Theory (CRT) within their hiring practices and day-to-day activities.
Antiwhite racist Kiran Ahuja was made Director of the Office of Personnel Management to impose just such priorities.
Actual qualifications for a particular job are no longer regarded as relevant, which is why Kamala Harris holds her position of power.
Notably, the order requires diversity trainings like the one conducted by Sandia National Laboratories, a government contractor that helps manage nuclear weapons. During a three-day “White Men’s Caucus,” male employees were required to recite “white privilege” and “male privilege” statements, according to leaked documents reported on by Manhattan Institute fellow Christopher Rufo. Trainers at the caucus told the participants that “white supremacists,” “KKK,” “Aryan Nation,” “MAGA hat,” “privileged” and “mass killings” were all associated with “white male culture.”
Democrats also impose CRT brainwashing in the military. No one could expect a beneficial effect on cohesion from having their superiors tell troops that Caucasians are inherently bad. Yet this deliberately destructive ideology is imposed from the top of the command structure:
America’s top military officer on Wednesday defended teaching “critical race theory” to US Army cadets at West Point — and said it’s important for those in uniform to understand “white rage.”
“White rage” comes from the same bag of bogus CRT rhetoric as “white privilege,” “white fragility,” et cetera.
During a budget hearing held by the House Armed Services Committee, Army Gen. Mark Milley, chairman of the Pentagon’s Joint Chiefs of Staff, said that “on the issue of critical race theory, etc., a lot of us have to get much smarter on whatever the theory is.”
Yes; we have to get smart enough to reject this evil ideology root and branch before wicked people use it to destroy our country. But that’s not what Milley has in mind.
“And I want to understand white rage, and I’m white, and I want to understand it.”
To lend any credence to the concept of “white rage” in our current situation is the equivalent of praising the Protocols of the Elders of Zion in the early days of the Nazi regime.
Then he got scarier:
Milley also appeared to link “white rage” to the Jan. 6 storming of the US Capitol by supporters of then-President Donald Trump in a bid to prevent Congress from certifying his electoral loss to President Biden.
“So, what is it that caused thousands of people to assault this building, and try to overturn the Constitution of the United States of America. What caused that,” Milley said.
The January 6 riot was a protest against election fraud that got out of hand. It had nothing whatsoever to do with race. But those who give Milley his orders want people to associate all opposition to the current regime as “white supremacy.”
Milley’s remarks came just days after US Navy Adm. Michael Gilday, chief of naval operations, was grilled by GOP committee members about sailors being advised to read the 2019 book “How to Be an Antiracist” by Ibram X. Kendi.
Tucker Carlson noted how alarming it is to have the Chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff lend his support to antiwhite race hate in the following segment:
For that, retired four-star general Barry McCaffrey, who worked in the Clinton Administration, demanded that Carlson be fired.
At least they aren’t talking about firing squads yet.

The radicalized Democratic Party now controls the military. It has been purging those viewed as potentially recalcitrant to its alarming ideology. Now the purpose of the US Army is to fight not the enemies of America, but the enemies of wokism — for example, white men:
Lieutenant Colonel Andrew Rhodes, commander of the 1-8 Infantry – “Fighting Eagles”, has a message for all serving in the military: if you’re white, you’re the problem.
Rhodes gives his pronouns in his Twitter bio and describes himself as a “fervent anti-racist & anti-sexist.” He belongs in a college faculty lounge or liberal media newsroom, not leading troops into battle. But he personifies what Lloyd Austin et al. are transforming the military into.
Never mind Chinese communists and expansionist Islamists. Rhodes is worried about his fellow white guys, who are the villains per liberal dogma.
Barked Rhodes at a military function:
“If you’re a white male, you are part of the problem.”
His mentality is not as conducive to battlefield cohesion as it is to bullying whitey with hate hoaxes:
He also reportedly added that only .01 percent of [racism] accusations are false, and that he would always believe someone coming forward about an uncomfortable situation.
An investigation is underway, because the outrageous positions attributed to Rhodes are not official policy — yet. Democrats will need to remain in control for a while longer first.
The purge of nonmoonbats from the military started with the officer corps under Obama. Inculcating leftist ideology in the military has accelerated under Biden’s radical handlers. Space Force commander Matthew Lohmeier was recently relieved of duty for speaking out against the aggressive political indoctrination.
Recruiting ads showcase the prevailing mentality under Democrat rule:
Fighting effectiveness has not been advanced by lowering physical fitness standards to facilitate Affirmative Action. Still less will it be enhanced by the majority of servicemembers knowing that they belong to a despised identity group (i.e., white men) presumably regarded by those higher in the chain of command as expendable in combat. Add this to the long list of reasons that progressives must never be allowed in positions of authority.
That which liberalism infiltrates, it corrupts and soon destroys. The American military will be no exception unless the corruption is quickly turned back, which cannot happen with Democrats in control.
