If brought up on charges for violating the Stolen Valor Act that he voted for, maybe Tim AWalz can use the insanity defense:

On a tip from WDS 2.0.

Turns out there is a limit to how outrageously a Democrat pol can prevaricate without getting called on it by the mainstream media:

“Well, here is Tim Walz, who enlisted when he was 17 years old. He served in the National Guard for 24 years. And I’m not aware of any military service that JD Vance has ever served. So let’s just make the comparison there,” [Senator Tina] Smith [D-MN] said.

Whoa. They are putting up the disgraceful military history of Tim Walz — who makes John Kerry look like Audie Murphy — against J.D. Vance.

Even the infamously partisan Jim Acosta choked on Smith’s B.S.:

“Well, he was in the Marines,” Acosta interjected.

Vance was deployed to Iraq. Walz was in the National Guard, but when it looked like he would have to go to Iraq, he slunk away, leaving his unit in the lurch.

It isn’t just right vs. left. It’s worthy vs. unworthy.

On a tip from Varla.

Tim Walz’s qualifications as a moonbat are impressive. His qualifications to be second in line for Commander in Chief, not so much.

Write Thomas Behrends and Paul Herr:

We, retired Command Sergeants Major of the Minnesota National Guard, feel it is our duty and responsibility to bring forth the truth as we know it concerning his service record. So, we have put together a timeline of his service post 9/11. …

On September 18th, 2001 Tim Walz reenlisted in the Minnesota Army National Guard for six years.

In early 2003 he was selected to attend the United States Army Sergeants Major Academy.

So that taxpayer money isn’t wasted training people for nothing, this came with the stipulation that he would serve for at least 2 years after graduation or promotion to Sergeant Major or Command Sergeant Major, whichever came later.

On September 17th, 2004 he was conditionally promoted to Command Sergeant Major.

This promotion became null and void after he failed to meet the conditions to which he had agreed.

In early 2005, a warning order was issued to the 1-125th Field Artillery Battalion, which included the position he was serving in, to prepare to be mobilized for active duty for a deployment to Iraq.

Uh oh. A guy could get hurt over there.

On May 16th, 2005 he quit, leaving the 1-125th Field Artillery Battalion and its Soldiers hanging; without its senior Non-Commissioned Officer, as the battalion prepared for war.

Walz gave the phony excuse that he was running for Congress. He did not need to go AWOL to do that.

If he had retired normally and respectfully, you would think he would have ensured his retirement documents were correctly filled out and signed, and that he would have ensured he was reduced to Master Sergeant for dropping out of the academy. Instead he waited for the paperwork to catch up to him. His official retirement document states, SOLDIER NOT AVAILABLE FOR SIGNATURE.

On September 10th, 2005 conditionally promoted Command Sergeant Major Walz was reduced to Master Sergeant. It took a while for the system to catch up to him as it was uncharted territory, literally no one quits in the position he was in, or drops out of the academy. Except him.

Nonetheless, we will have to listen to Walz boast about his heroic military service:

He claims to be the highest-ranking enlisted service member ever to serve in congress. Even though he was conditionally promoted to Command Sergeant Major less than eight months, quit before his obligations were met, and was reduced to Master Sergeant for retirement.

The servile mainstream media will back him up, if only by not exposing his shameful record.

What Democrats did to the formerly respected Secret Service through politicization and a heavy emphasis on DEI, they are also inflicting on the armed forces. Destroying a military from within is more cost-effective than the tradition means of crushing it with superior force, but still costs money:

The Biden-Harris Defense Department paid outside organizations millions of taxpayer dollars to advance diversity, equity, and inclusion initiatives, including race-based career advancement programs, in the U.S. military, documents shared exclusively with The Daily Wire reveal.

The documents, first obtained by the Functional Government Initiative, highlight the extent of the Pentagon’s efforts to embed leftwing, race-based ideology in the military, in partnership with academic institutions and consulting firms.

Per FGI spokesman Peter McGinnis,

“Rather than maximizing readiness training to ensure a capable military, the DOD’s training seems calculated to foster sowing internal discord with aggressive efforts to promote controversial ideologies.”

A house divided against itself cannot stand. That is the whole point of Cultural Marxism, or as it is currently euphemized, DEI.

For our money, Biden/Harris get more than the usual systematic discrimination against white guys who won’t proclaim themselves to be perverts. Consultants are paid to help suppress resistance. RAND Corporation produced something called “Research and Analysis Support for the Department of Defense Board on Diversity and Inclusion.”

RAND’s report offered the DOD advice on how to combat growing resistance to military DEI initiatives.

The report targets “xenophobic expressions” (i.e., politically incorrect speech) and “diversity defiance” (i.e., politically incorrect thought) for repression.

Goodthink is imposed in place of thoughtcrime:

The Defense Department paid DEI consulting agency BCT Partners just under $2 million in 2021 to create a “DEI Action Plan” for DOD-operated schools, called the DOD Education Activity.

In its performance work statement, BCT … notes that Critical Race Theory “is an approach to grappling with a history of white supremacy” and “Systematic racism [that] is part of the American life.”

To translate out of the Liberalese, they are saying that the virulently pernicious brand of Cultural Marxist known as Critical Race Theory is to be wielded against the core population of a country they denounce as racist.

Congress has approved giving $175 BILLION of our money to infamously corrupt Ukraine, for reasons having nothing to do with our interests. Meanwhile:

Active duty soldiers, veterans, and their families in southern Arizona are being told by pharmacies located on federal military bases that their prescriptions cannot be renewed due to lack of funding.

The Raymond W. Bliss Army Health Center pharmacy, located at Ft. Huachuca, known as an installation pharmacy, is currently undergoing one of these shortages. The pharmacy is telling customers there will be no funds available until July 17. The pharmacy is directing customers to commercial pharmacies, where they must pay out of pocket for their medications.

Evidently they are not getting reimbursed.

Governing is all about priorities.

Remember the old public service ad with the egg and the frying pan? “This is your brain on drugs.” The drug problem is now worse than ever, but degeneracy manifests itself in other ways that are more pernicious still. This is your military on moonbattery:

The rot comes down from the top. As America’s enemies position themselves, Deputy Defense Secretary Kathleen Hicks, second highest ranking officer at the Pentagon, explicitly conflates the promotion of sexual depravity with military readiness.

If war were a San Francisco bathhouse, the US military under Commander in Chief Joe Biden would be plenty ready:

Stand by for a major war. Nothing provokes aggression like weakness.

On tips from ABC of the ANC and Wiggins.

No one has more of an interest in Biden holding on to power than America’s foreign adversaries. Taking on a country that conflates sexual perversion with “military readiness” will be a cakewalk:

During a DoD Pride event for the Association of LGBTQI+ Service Members in June, [Deputy Secretary of Defense Kathleen] Hicks discussed listening to the needs of service members, including LGBTQ individuals, as a Pentagon priority vis-à-vis military “readiness,” a term which refers to the ability to deter potential adversaries, defend national interests and ensure that armed forces can meet their missions.

It isn’t all about turning the military into a San Francisco bathhouse. It is also important to train servicemembers to despise the country they signed up to defend on the grounds that it is full of racist white people:

Hicks said in 2022 that it was essential for “warfighting success” to have training throughout the military regarding “unconscious bias,” a key term found in critical race theory (CRT).

“Unconscious bias” refers to beliefs and attitudes that need to be rooted out through brainwashing because they do not comply with CRT/DEI.

The Department of Defense has proclaimed that diversity is a “strategic imperative critical to mission readiness and accomplishment.”

The ChiComs must be relieved that they will not be up against a meritocracy. Again we see that they are getting their money’s worth out of the Big Guy.

America has the most expensive military in the world yet has put up no defense against the largest invasion in human history. How is this possible? It’s all a matter of who is charge. This gives an idea of who is charting the course for the US Air Force:

Drag queen “Miss Lexi Andrews” was hired by the 423rd Support Squadron at the RAF Alconbury Air Base in England for a “drag bingo” event on June 23, 2022, and a “glow party” on June 24, 2022, an invoice obtained by Judicial Watch through a freedom of information request shows. […]

The invoice was obtained as part of an investigation by CatholicVote Civil Action and Judicial Watch into the Air Force’s promotion of drag queens, which made headlines two years ago after a drag queen story hour for children — scheduled to be held at an American air base in Germany — was canceled following public outcry.

Under Democrat control, the US military has been repurposed. Rather than defend the homeland from foreign invasion, in now promotes the sexual defilement of children:

Other documents sent by the Defense Department to Judicial Watch include promotions of drag events at U.S. Military bases, including a story hour in Ramstein, Germany by “our local Drag King, Sauvage.”

According to promotional materials, one of the books to be read was called “The HIPS on the DRAG QUEEN Go Swish, Swish, Swish.”

That title is a favorite among drag queens who prey on little kids, including Letta Dicken and PBS’s Little Miss Hot Mess.

No military is of any use against the most incapacitating weapon ever devised: moonbattery.

Nothing provokes aggression like weakness, so considering that Joe Biden has been made Commander in Chief, it should come as no surprise that America’s enemies are preparing to attack. Already our military bases are under siege as they gather preparatory information:

Chinese nationals tried at least 100 times to enter U.S. military bases and related installations last year.

The ChiComs aren’t alone:

Iran, Russia and terrorist groups from the Middle East are also involved Rep. Glenn Grothman, R-Wis., exclusively told DailyMail.com in a sit-down interview.

Grothman links the threat to the border that Democrats have opened wide to all comers:

‘When you’re talking about the number of Chinese coming across the southern border, not that they’re all here doing intelligence research, but when it goes up by a factor of 80 in one year, you’ve got to wonder what’s going on here.’

What’s going on is that enemies without are exploiting the weakness imposed by enemies within.

According to US Fleet Forces Commander Admiral Daryl Caudle, foreign nationals are caught attempting to penetrate American naval bases two or three times per week.

Under Democrat rule, the military is more focused on promoting sexual perversion than on security. This may be why infiltrating bases is child’s play:

Border Patrol agents in the Del Rio, Texas, region stopped an SUV near Laughlin Air Force Base, which prompted a 17-year-old Mexican male from inside the vehicle to run.

He then jumped a fence and entered the base…

The runner was caught an hour after the breach and taken into custody alongside four adult men who were also in the vehicle.

All are believed to be in the US illegally…

A Chinese spy or Iranian terrorist could get a lot done in an hour.

Speaking of weakness inviting aggression:

China’s Eastern Theater Command on Friday released a simulation video of its missile forces carrying out a mass attack on Taiwan, boasting its land, sea, and air launch capabilities.

The 70-second hype video used a mix of computer-generated animation and live footage to depict warships, land-based rocket launchers, and jet fighters launching waves of missiles at the island.

Who is going to defend Taiwan? Joe Biden? Don’t make Xi Jinping laugh.

Soon we may be saying the same about the Philippines, South Korea, Japan, Australia, Hawaii…

Eventually Democrat-imposed weakness will force us into a position where we have to fight — possibly at a disadvantage. Much as we value the heroes we honor on Memorial Day, there should never be more of them than necessary.

When end-stage liberalism has been reached, moonbattery has to be piled atop more moonbattery, because there is nowhere else to pile it. You thought nothing could be woker than a US Navy ship named after a homosexual who preyed on teenage boys? How about activists commandeering the gangway of that ship in San Franfreakshow to promote their support for Islamic terrorists?

A group of pro-Palestinian demonstrators rallied at the San Francisco waterfront where the USNS Harvey Milk was docked Friday, with some protestors chaining themselves to the gangway of the ship.

“Pro-Palestinian” in the context of current events means “pro-Hamas,” which in turn means “anti-Western Civilization.”

The group gathered to protest the Friday morning ceremony celebrating the ship and its namesake at Pier 30/32 attended by U.S. House Emerita Nancy Pelosi and San Francisco Mayor London Breed, along with other local and military officials.

To honor a child molester like Harvey Milk is disgusting, obscene, and characteristic of our liberal rulers.

At least one police officer was injured — not that this is likely to result in punishment in California.

Our communist Chinese adversaries are aware of the contemptible farce to which Democrats are reducing our country. That’s why they are preparing for war.

Personnel is policy. With Democrats in control, that means policy is set by people like Jason Beck:

“I think we should repeal the Second Amendment and take the guns all away,” said Jason Beck, who works in Total Force Requirements & Sourcing Policy in the office of Defense Secretary Lloyd Austin. … The office Beck works in oversees the Department of Defense and works as the principal defense policy maker and advisor to the president.

Beck does not see a problem with the largest invasion in human history pouring across the undefended border. The military should be used instead against American citizens for exercising their Constitutional rights.

Beck believed that the US should be “mobilizing the national guard” to confiscate people’s guns and that there should be a “monopoly on state violence,” which was described as, “we [the government] are the only ones with guns.”

Except of course criminals, who will always have guns.

As for Beck’s qualifications to be involved in steering US military policy:

Beck also told O’Keefe that Beck underwent “bottom surgery,” with O’Keefe stating in an X Space before the video was released that “he’s saying that he cut off his private parts and turned it into female parts.”

If you don’t want moonbats like Beck dictating to the Pentagon, you are a transphobe.

Hats off again to the great James O’Keefe. A little long but worth it:

If Biden is reelected, Democrats may consolidate power to the point of being able to do as they please to us, bringing Beck’s dreams to fruition.

It seemed British knighthood had reached rock bottom when it was bestowed upon a perverted pop star. Yet progressives always find a way to progress still deeper into moonbattery. They are going to knight the four-star hypocrite Mark Milley:

Britain’s defense attache to the U.S., Rear Adm. Tim Woods, released a statement on X: “From leadership over Afghanistan, expansion of @NATO, to the creation of AUKUS, our nation has been truly fortunate in these turbulent & uncertain times to have the confidence of America’s leading military figure.”

If Milley is America’s leading military figure, stick a fork in us, for we are done.

Aside from his catastrophic “leadership over Afghanistan,” Milley is best known for politicizing the military on behalf of the Democratic Party. Assuming Bob Woodward’s reporting to be accurate, Milley committed treason during the Trump Administration in collusion with communist China. He espouses antiwhite race hate and regards a large percentage of the US population to consist of enemies of the government.

Other pernicious American moonbats to receive knighthood include Bob Iger (CEO of the LGBT grooming operation that is Disney) and Michael Bloomberg (nanny state plutocrat, propagandist, and crusader against the right of self-defense).

Knighthood has become as disgraceful as the Nobel Peace Prize, which moonbats have bestowed upon a rogue’s gallery of reprobates including the terrorist Yasser Arafat, global warming scam artist Al Gore, and two of the three worst US presidents in living memory (hold on Creepy Joe; if Carter and Obama got one, you probably will too).

If the communist Chinese haven’t annexed the West Coast yet, it’s because they are following the advice of Napoleon:

“Never interrupt your enemy when he is making a mistake.”

The Chinese have no weapon in their vast arsenal that could reduce us to this:

Leo Hohmann has the whole video.

Space cadet Bree Fram is president of SPARTA, an advocacy group for Corporal Klinger types who have been allowed to infest the military. He is also a colonel in the Space Farce I mean Force who is paraded before the public to explain why pushing the LGBT agenda is a “national security imperative” according to the moonbats running the military.

The Chinese strategy is probably to let liberals finish destroying us, then come in and mop up.

Twisted recruitment emphasis and indoctrination in leftist ideology may be having the effect you might expect on the US military:

US Air Force member Aaron Bushnell has died from his injuries after setting himself on fire outside the Israeli Embassy in Washington, DC, an official confirmed on Monday.

Bushnell offered himself up as a human sacrifice on behalf of Hamas in the aftermath of the October 7 terror atrocities.

“I will no longer be complicit in genocide [in Gaza]. I am about to engage in an extreme act of protest,” Bushnell reportedly said, before setting himself ablaze and repeatedly crying out “Free Palestine.”

He died of moonbattery, in which he had been steeped:

“Many of us like to ask ourselves, ‘What would I do if I was alive during slavery? Or the Jim Crow South? Or apartheid? What would I do if my country was committing genocide?’ The answer is, you’re doing it. Right now,” he wrote.

Let’s be thankful Bushnell was not a pilot carrying a nuclear payload. He might have decided to confront white privilege by dropping it on a US city deemed to be insufficiently diverse.

Upon taking power, moonbat apparatchik Lloyd Austin conducted an ideological purge throughout the military. Too bad its purpose was not to root out kooks like Bushnell.

Aaron Bushnell personifies the figurative self-immolation by moonbattery of Western Civilization. Its age-old nemesis Islam is delighted.
