The Pentagon is at war — with the morale of American troops. A soldier forced to pay through the nose for expensive gear Biden forced him to leave to the Taliban is emblematic.

Fumes Catherine Salgado:

It has seemed fairly obvious, especially since the disastrous withdrawal that left thousands of Americans and allies stranded in the hellhole of Taliban-controlled Afghanistan, that the Biden administration hates our military. Congressmen were exempted from the federal COVID-19 vaccine mandates, but West Point cadets and military members had to get jabbed or get sacked. The Biden administration is still pouring billions of dollars we don’t have into Ukraine, where a horrifying number of young Ukrainian men have died for no purpose; and the government has new wads of cash to expend on toxic, inefficient, and unreliable “green” energy. But one soldier who is separating from the military found that the Army expected him to cough up between $500 and $1,000 to pay for military gear that the soldier was told he had to leave behind in Afghanistan!

When he abruptly surrendered to the Taliban, Biden gifted the terrorists who provided a launching pad for 9/11 with $billions worth of military gear paid for by American taxpayers. Crossing the line into straightforward treason, Democrats continue to shovel our money at the Taliban.

Let’s have the former soldier’s firsthand account:

Key quote from a patriot upon leaving the armed forces:

“I’m very, very excited to stop serving my government and just getting started serving my country.”

Speaking of nonsensical Covid vaccine mandates, the Pentagon wants those kicked out for not risking their health by complying to come back:

According to a letter signed by Army Director of Personnel Management Brigadier General Hope Rampy, former soldiers who were discharged due to Covid-19 vaccine refusal can request a correction of their military records. The letter provides guidance on contacting recruiters to return to service. It is unclear if returning soldiers will rejoin their former units or Military Occupational Specialties.

In February of 2022, the Army began discharging servicemen who did non comply with Covid vaccine mandate. At that time, more than 3,000 troops had requested permanent medical or religious exemptions, with only six being granted, according to official data.

The 2023 National Defense Authorization Act compelled the defense secretary to rescind the vaccine mandate, with the Army officially suspending separation actions for non-compliant soldiers in February 2023.

It is doubtful there will be many takers.

You could almost suspect that under Democrat rule the Pentagon is controlled by people who believe America is inherently bad and want to destroy it from within. With apologies to Robert Hanlon, never attribute to malice or incompetence what can be more accurately attributed to both.

Since the 1,400-year-old war between Islam and civilization flared up again with the terror atrocities of October 7, the Biden Regime has attempted to play both sides. Officially, it supports Israel. Yet it shovels massive amounts of our money at Hamas, has launched a pro-Islam propaganda campaign, and is attempting to overthrow the Israeli government so as to replace Netanyahu with someone weaker.

Biden’s handlers’ idea of a solution is to move control of Gaza from Hamas terrorists to PLO terrorists. Being no fool, Netanyahu is not on board. So he must be removed:

Sensing that Netanyahu is being hamstrung by his far-right coalition allies, the US has begun to ask about the possibility of a more moderate government being shuffled in, according to a former official.

“The diplomatic umbrella the US and other Western countries are providing Israel to continue operating in Gaza constricts, as civilian casualties mount,” a Biden administration official said on condition of anonymity. “Refusal to cooperate with — and even inhibiting — [our] efforts constrict that umbrella even more.”

Daniel Greenfield aptly describes this as…

…a fancy way of describing threatening to withdraw support from Israel unless Netanyahu rejects the results of a democratic election and forms a coalition with leftists with the aim of appeasing terrorists.

As Afghanistan learned, with friends like the Democrat-controlled USA, you don’t need enemies.

On a tip from WDS 2.0.

The masks are coming off. It has become impossible to pretend that Hamas is not evil:

Here’s how Hamas treats women:

Over 700 have been killed and over 2,000 wounded so far. The carnage was significantly financed by the Biden Administration via Iran.

Looks like Biden even provided weaponry. He gifted more than $7 billion worth of American ordnance to the terrorists he surrendered to in Afghanistan — the same ones who provided a base of operations for the 9/11 attacks that he commemorated this year by giving $6 billion to Iran. Unsurprisingly, some of the weaponry appears to have found its way into the hands of Hamas:

[T]he terrorists are using our weapons we left in Afghanistan to fight. …

Knowing that the taxes we spent for two decades to fund the “War on Terror” helped equip terrorists is not only the peak of irony, but the greatest shame our nation has had in my lifetime.

We might be generous and chalk it up to Democrats having achieved a level of incompetence never before witnessed — except that some leftists are saying the quiet part out loud by openly siding with the terrorists:

A Washington Post columnist who once led the paper’s international opinions section lent support this week to those kidnapping, raping, and killing Israeli citizens.

Karen Attiah, a prominent journalist, echoed a social media post by a fringe Somali that said, “what did y’all think decolonization meant? vibes? papers? essays? losers.”

Attiah explicitly advocates terrorist violence to eradicate what liberals call colonialism and the rest of us call Western Civilization.

Crows Attiah:

“We are forced to see state violence as justified + moral, while violence by non-state actors isn’t. This is changing.”

Employing the projection that characterizes leftists, she denounces the Israelis being murdered as “murderers,” whereas terrorists are deified as “the oppressed.”

Normally, the liberal elite types running the establishment media are bright enough not to tell us openly what they really think, lest we rise up against them. Attiah is an exception, likely having climbed to her position by exploiting an asset other than intelligence — namely her own status as “oppressed” per progressive dogma:

Attiah is the daughter of a doctor from Ghana, but likely benefited from affirmative action at the Post intended to benefit poor African Americans.

Speaking of the liberal elite, here’s how Hamas is regarded at its flagship academic institution, the primary academy that staffs our ruling class, Harvard:

Harvard students expressed their support for Palestinian terrorists amid the unprecedented terror attack on Israel this weekend. In a joint statement signed by at least 57 student groups, the Ivy League students blamed Israel for the Palestinian terrorist organization Hamas killing 600 Israelis.

“We, the undersigned student organizations, hold the Israeli regime entirely responsible for all unfolding violence,” a joint statement by scores of Harvard student groups read.

This isn’t whataboutism taken to the last extreme of absurdity. Harvard students emphasize that the terrorists who invariably initiate the violence are 100% blameless, and that Israel is “the only one to blame” for the savage atrocities that have been unfolding.

Democrats in Congress have predictably demanded that Israel “deescalate” rather than retaliating.

Already at least nine Americans have been killed in the terrorist blitzkrieg. But that’s a good thing from the liberal viewpoint, because Americans are oppressors too. Everything currently being inflicted on Israelis will soon happen to Americans, for the same reasons.

Hamas is only the tip of an iceberg of evil.

Today is the day Americans fly their flags at half mast in memory of those who perished in a dishonorable terror attack on our country. It is the day we recall where we were and what we were doing when we found out what was happening on September 11, 2001. It is the day our leader has traditionally represented us in mourning at one of the three sites of attack. It is a day Joe Biden spends in the most distant part of North America, signaling how seriously he takes this date.

As AlaskaWatchman reported:

Biden will be in Alaska on Sept. 11, thereby becoming the first sitting president to skip out on one of the traditional 9/11 memorial services that are held each year in New York City, Virginia or Pennsylvania. …

The White House announcement offered no explanation as to why the president chose to forgo participating in the most prominent ceremonies that mark the worst terrorist attack on American soil and the loss of nearly 3,000 lives.

Earlier this month, however, more than 2,000 family members of those who died in the attacks signed a letter to the president, protesting news of a possible plea deal between the U.S. and five suspected 9/11 masterminds who are being detained at Guantanamo Bay. …

“We cannot have the greatest terrorist attack in the history of this country fade away with plea deals for the last remaining prisoners in Guantanamo,” Politico quoted Brett Eagleson, who leads the 9/11 Justice advocacy group.

They shouldn’t expect much support from the guy who advised against killing Osama bin Laden and who got Americans killed in the process of gifting Afghanistan to the Taliban, which had provided a base of operations for Al Qaeda. Biden is past pretending to be on America’s side.

No matter; we have the cackling cretin Kamala Harris to solemnly honor 9/11:

On tips from Chris Neilson, Wiggins, KirklesWorth, and Bluto.

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.

Some are alarmed that Joe Biden would claim he cured cancer, suspecting that his mental decline is so advanced that he may actually believe it.

However, Biden has been telling easily disprovable and often outlandish lies his whole career. He has claimed to have done well in school, that he was the first member of his family to attend college, that he taught constitutional law for over 20 years, that he attended a black college, that he attended a black church, that he never opposed fracking, and even, blasphemously, that he is Catholic, despite being a conspicuously aggressive advocate of moral depravity including abortion.

More lies:

1. Biden said his helicopter was “forced down” near Osama bin Laden’s lair in Afghanistan

2. Biden said he was a coal miner

3. Biden said he was “shot at” in Iraq

4. Biden said he called Slobodan Milošević a “damn war criminal” to his face

5. Biden said he participated in sit-ins at segregated restaurants and movie theaters

6. Biden said he criticized President George W. Bush during lengthy private meetings in the Oval Office

Still more:

1. Law School Grades

2. Arrested in South Africa

3. First Job

4. Visiting a Synagogue

5. Unemployment Numbers

6. Visited Afghanistan

7. Naval Academy Appointment

8. Beau Died in Iraq

9. Never Spoken to Hunter About Family Business

10. Visited 54 States

11. Passing Student Loan Legislation

12. Raised by Puerto Ricans

13. Gas Prices

14. Biden Traveling 17,000 Miles with Chinese President

15. Inflation Is Temporary

The lies that he was arrested in South Africa and that he has not been involved in his bagman Hunter’s influence peddling operations are at least as preposterous as his curing cancer claim.

Biden’s incessant lying was one of the main reasons he was laughed off the stage even by the liberal media back in 1988, when we still had standards.

He lies not only because he is a contemptible, third-rate human being, as we have all known for decades. His lies are compulsive, resulting from a case of pseudologia fantastica that is so severe as to cross into psychosis and that predates his senility by a generation.

A violent career criminal dies of a fentanyl overdose while being restrained by a police officer barely half his size (5’9″ 63 kg vs. 6’6″ 110 kg). This was good for an entire summer of liberal establishment-endorsed rioting and looting and even a federal holiday. Imagine what shooting a teenager is worth in a world succumbing to moonbattery. France is finding out:

Britain’s Foreign Office issued an alert to tourists thinking of travelling to France, as the violence continued to deepen following the fatal shooting of 17-year-old Nahel Merzouk who was ‘executed’ by French police during a traffic stop on Tuesday.

Actual details of the young criminal’s demise are irrelevant; as with George Floyd’s skin color, his Muslim name is all the mob needs to know.

Rioters were again seen rampaging through the streets of Marseille, Lille and Paris, amid claims looters broke into a gun shop and stole hunting rifles while others ransacked a police station. Cars, buses and government buildings have been set alight and fireworks have been launched at police.

There were more than 3,800 fires on public roads last night, while more than 500 buildings were set alight. …

Two of the country’s biggest police unions have threatened a revolt unless [woke weenie Emmanuel] Macron restores order.

As usual, Big Tech has its thumb on the scale. This tweet showed a Muslim baying for blood until Twitter regrettably censored it (you can view the video here):

Translation:

“Allah Akbar, we are Muslims, if the police kill us we have the right to kill it is written in the Koran! We’re going to do you worse than 2005 we’re not going to stop.”

The reference is to 3 weeks of Muslim rioting that took place in 2005. Two teenagers managing to electrocute themselves while running from police in an electricity substation served as the pretext:

More than 10,000 vehicles were burnt, and 233 public buildings and 74 private ones were damaged in 300 different districts.

Since then, the Muslim colonization of France has expanded significantly.

You imported this, France. Now you get to live with it. Or rather, you get to die from it.

Only a far right solution could save France now. A country that would elect Macron is unlikely to have the belly for it. Remember Charles Martel or forget about the future.

Good thing Alejandro Mayorkas and Merrick Garland are on the job. The domestic terrorism they squeak about is on the rise. A recent attack at Caney Creek High School north of Houston was so terrifying, it left authorities with no other option but to panic hysterically:

Following an investigation, police arrested David Navarrete-Arce, 17, and Diego Flores, 18, on May 12, charging them with possession of a prohibited weapon – a third-degree felony punishable by up to 10 years in prison, according to reporting by The Courier of Montgomery County.

The “weapon” in question is a stink spray called Hensgaukt Fart Spray, marketed online as a gag toy of the type teenagers tend to find amusing. The smell so alarmed authorities, the school was evacuated twice. Some students were taken out on stretchers. A can of the stink spray was confiscated by a teacher on the day of the first evacuation, but apparently dots were left unconnected.

Meanwhile,

Roughly 30 tons of ammonium nitrate disappeared in mid-April while being moved [by train] from Wyoming to California, prompting explosives manufacturer Dyno Nobel to inform federal authorities. More than a month after material vanished during the nearly two-week trip, officials have yet to find cargo, The New York Times reported on Sunday.

No worries; Transportation Secretary Pete Buttigieg is sure to get to the bottom of it, as with all the other transportation debacles that have been in the news since he took office.

Ammonium nitrate is a chemical often used in agricultural fertilizer but can also be implemented in explosives, as it was in the deadly 1995 Oklahoma City bombing, according to the federal government.

Also, the border is wide open, with invaders crossing illegally at a rate of millions per year, including terrorists from places like Afghanistan. Majorkas and Garland are too focused on the fabricated threat of white supremacists to do anything about it, assuming they would know where to start.

Terrorists will have no problem instilling panic in the coming years.

Joe Biden has already secured his place in American history as the nation’s worst president, crippling the country both domestically and abroad. Yet the senile, corrupt, incompetent leftist has the arrogance to run for reelection:

Biden’s three-minute launch video touched on the Jan. 6 Capitol riot, anti-abortion sentiment, Trump-aligned Republicans, and reforms to Social Security and Medicare. The president made the case that he needed another term to “finish the job,” although he made virtually no mention of the actual job he’s done so far.

That is, he is running on Reichstag fire hype over a minor riot that occurred years ago, Democrat love of abortion, and hysteria generated over the notion of reforming entitlements before they become insolvent.

See if you can stomach this slimy tyrant pretending to stand for freedom:

Veteran Republican strategist Scott Jennings summarizes the strategy:

“Their entire construct depends upon the Republican Party nominating the one person in this field who is guaranteed to get fewer votes than Joe Biden.”

That would be Donald Trump, who is no friend of conservatives. Trump sides with the Democrats on abortion and entitlements (not to mention LGBTism and even Covid lockdowns), but political ads do not target the sort of people who would follow politics closely enough to know this.

Speaking of political ads, the GOP let artificial intelligence respond to Biden’s video announcement:

A vote for Biden in 2024 is actually a vote for the explicit Affirmative Action hire who would likely take his place well before the end of his term:

“Finish the job!” croaks Biden. In light of what his handlers have been doing to the country — hamstringing the energy industry, humiliating us on the national stage, weakening the military, dividing the country with belligerent radicalism, driving up inflation and the national debt with a never-ending spree of wasteful spending that guarantees eventual economic collapse — it would be hard to come up with a more ominous slogan:

The nation is at fundamental odds about the nature of truth, government, and inherent rights. Biden wants to codify the murder of preborn children into law. He wants to ban private weapons so only the government has them. He wants to punish parents who pray outside abortion clinics or speak up at school board meetings by sending the DOJ and FBI after them. He wants to use the FBI to infiltrate churches to root out “extremism.” He wants to blow out spending and raise taxes while expanding the power of the IRS to collect said taxes. He wants to centralize power. He wants to make sure dissidence is censored under the guise of “disinformation.” He wants to rule by executive fiat instead of congressional lawmaking. He wants to stack the Supreme Court so it can’t check his power grabs.

That’s what finishing the job would mean, and what his handlers will inflict — whether behind him or behind Kamala Harris — if the spent force Trump with his sinking 25% approval cannot be stopped in the primaries.

Some say balloons are an obsolete means of spying on an enemy with whom you are expected soon to be at war, because these holdovers from the 19th century are easier to shoot down than satellites. However, our ChiCom adversaries have obviated this shortcoming by planning ahead. First, they purchased the inept corruptocrat the liberal establishment later installed as our Commander in Chief. This preparation having been made, China has dispatched a surveillance balloon over Montana, home to the nuclear missile field at Malmstrom Air Force Base that the ChiComs would be keen to take out.

Even under the clownish moonbat apparatchiks Lloyd Austin and Mark Milley, the US military is aware of the balloon, which the ChiComs admit is theirs but smirkingly claim is a weather balloon. However, our “leaders” say they can’t shoot it down because people might get hurt by falling debris.

The population density of Montana is seven people per square mile. Apparently, despite the $trillions upon $trillions consumed by the federal government, it lacks the resources to destroy the balloon in such a way that it won’t land on someone.

It’s not as if there has been no response. Our gelatinous Secretary of State is teaching the ChiComs a lesson by postponing a trip to China. Pointless meetings between international bureauweenies are no fun if Antony Blinken isn’t there to laugh at.

A second balloon has already been spotted over Canada.

Maybe it’s just a test. If NORAD can’t stop balloons, Xi Jinping need have no qualms about sending nuclear missiles. Promptly shooting down the balloons might allow us to analyze the information the ChiComs have been collecting, to see what they have planned for us. But our leadership is so useless that they might be allowed to float back to the land of Joe Biden’s paymasters.

Despite his willingness to side with our enemies as he did in Afghanistan, despite being weakness personified, Biden isn’t the whole problem. The entire Democratic Party is irresponsible, inept, and uninterested in American interests. The Chinese have exploited this. Veteran Senator Dianne Feinstein’s chauffeur was a Chinese spy. Only when Republicans took control of Congress was Eric Swalwell finally kicked off the House Intelligence Committee, despite having been seduced by a Chinese spy. (Fang Fang says hi.)

At least we can stop worrying about China conquering Taiwan. No longer having access to the computer chips that make everything go will be the least of our problems if they are collecting intelligence for a direct nuclear attack on the USA.

Having better leadership, Indians would have known just how to deal with enemy balloons:

As you start your work week, here’s a little reminder as to how your slavemasters spend the wealth that you create on their behalf.

Last year, Joe Biden unconditionally surrendered to the Taliban, which had hosted the 9/11 terrorist atrocities. The abrupt, incompetent retreat cost us $billions in military equipment and an unknown number of American lives.

We are not done paying.

The site ForeignAssistance.gov was created to fulfill the requirements of the Foreign Aid Transparency and Accountability Act of 2016. It reveals that as of December 9, the US government had given $3,802,198,798 to Taliban-ruled Afghanistan so far in 2022 — more than twice what it gave to the country last year, despite it being controlled by our allies until August 15.

Just as our tax dollars probably helped finance the creation of Covid thanks to Tony Fauci, they will help fund the next major terror attack launched from Afghanistan. With people like Sam Brinton in charge of nuclear waste disposal, it is likely to involve a dirty bomb that will make September 11 look like a traffic accident.

Our Democrat rulers inspire contempt, but are impressive in one regard. To waste our money on a scale vast enough to create the current rate of inflation requires creativity. Biden’s American Rescue Plan (ARP) is a case in point:

The ARP Act, which Democrats passed in March 2021 without any Republican support, was billed by the Democratic Party as an economic necessity for getting the country through the pandemic.

According to a recent survey, more than one third of American small business owners were delinquent on their rent in October, due to “increasing rent prices, inflation, recessionary fears, high gas prices, supply chain issues, and labor expenses,” all largely consequences of Democrat policy. Meanwhile, this is what the liberal elite regards as economic necessity:

Humanities New York distributed more than $360,000 ARP funds to dozens of organizations, including a $10,000 grant for Urban Word NYC to launch three literary arts fellowships for marginalized youth.

“Marginalized” means palefaces need not apply. Much of the loot has been distributed on a racial basis.

One of the taxpayer-funded fellowships, the Black Girl Magic Fellowship, is a series “for NYC/NJ-based girls and non-binary youth ages 13-19 centered on their development as writers, building their self-esteem, and addressing issues that matter most to them,” according to Urban Word’s website.

The issues that matter most to many of us involve keeping a roof over our heads and food on the table. Our ruling class does not share these priorities.

Humanities New York awarded another $10,000 ARP grant to the National Jazz Museum in Harlem to create a five-part music series about the influence of Islam and Muslims in jazz.

This influence is likely minimal, considering that Mohammad did not approve of music, which consequently has been outlawed under some Muslim regimes. But for $10,000, they should be able to come up with something that will help liberals feel smug.

Humanities New York awarded another $10,000 ARP grant for Roots Wounds Words to create a talk series aimed to provide Black, Indigenous, and people of color storytellers “with opportunities to deepen their literary craft across genres such as creative nonfiction, fiction, poetry, screenwriting, and more.”

So that’s how Biden got Covid under control.

Other generous grants helped recipients to “explore how racial diversity changed the airline industry,” to create a “cultural sensitivity training” program at the Seneca-Iroquois National Museum, and to host a festival devoted to “Native American culture, history, foods and social issues.”

The National Endowment for the Humanities has been wasting ARP money coast to coast:

For example, the NEH awarded the Oral History Association $825,000 in ARP funds for a grant-making project titled, “Diversifying Oral History Practice: A Fellowship Program for Under/Unemployed Oral Historians,” which provided 11 year-long fellowships of $60,000 each for oral historians “from communities which have been historically marginalized in the field,” such as “Indigenous peoples, people of color, people with disabilities, and working class people.”

Much of the loot is not merely flushed away, but spent on corrosive Cultural Marxist propaganda.

The NEH awarded another $499,023 to the University of Montana for multiple programs on racial justice, including a public lecture series on “racial justice, death and Indigenous knowledge.”

The Science History Institute in Philadelphia was awarded $359,097 by the NEH to create a “multiplatform project exploring the historical roots and persistent legacies of racism in American science and medicine.”

This came after the same institution was handed a $1,230,100 Paycheck Protection Program (PPP) loan. These are not actually loans but handouts. They were intended to compensate businesses that were coercively shut down in the name of Covid hysteria. Big Government breaks your leg, then hands a crutch you are forced to pay for to someone else.

Another $200,000 in ARP funds went to the Chicago Humanities Festival to create “six humanities programs on racial justice, gender equality, and building an inclusive society.”

The festival had already raked in $778,236 in PPP cash.

If only they would just pile up our money and set it on fire. That would still cause runaway inflation, but it wouldn’t spread the leftist lies that are tearing our country apart.

In the olden days, colonialism entailed extracting raw materials while building the infrastructure that enabled prosperity. Nowadays, it means showering other countries with free money while promulgating degeneracy, often in the form of the destructive LGBT agenda.

This didn’t work out so well in Afghanistan, where our government flew the “pride” flag symbolizing sexual perversion above the US embassy. Our association with decadence and depravity must have increased public support for the Taliban. Yet still our tax dollar finances drag performances in Ecuador. Look what we are paying for in Sri Lanka:

The Media Empowerment for a Democratic Sri Lanka (MEND) project, which is funded by the United States Agency for International Development (USAID), has published at least four presentations related to gender and other LGBTQ issues in recent weeks.

To promote transsexualism, Sri Lankan journalists are told to state their pronouns and to avoid “binary-gendered language.”

On Oct. 7, MEND posted a presentation titled, “What are Gender Roles?”, which advises “how not to impose gender stereotypes on your child,” which includes giving both girls and boys a “wide range of toys to play with, e.g. trucks, dolls, action figures and building blocks.”

According to our government’s ideology, children choose their own gender. Surgery may be required to bring their bodies into line with it; to oppose this is immoral. Thanks to us, Sri Lankans now know how to raise their kids.

MEND posted a presentation in September about using “LGBTQ+ sensitive language in reporting,” which tells Sri Lankan journalists, “Do not use phrases such as ‘born a girl,’ or ‘born a boy.’ ‘Sex assigned at birth’ is the correct phrase to use. For example: ‘Ravi is a transgender man.’ Do not say: ‘Ravi was born a woman.’”

Let’s hope daily updates are provided, so that thoughtcrime can be avoided by always employing the currently correct jargon.

USAID has poured $7,906,904 into MEND, as inflation resulting from excessive government spending erodes our standard of living.

A bureauweenie resorts to duckspeak to justify the waste:

A USAID spokesperson told Fox News Digital on Tuesday that MEND “has reached over 24,000 Sri Lankan citizens through media literacy activities to help Sri Lankans access balanced, reliable, and objective news.”

“MEND works to improve media organizations’ internal management and operations; strengthen journalists’ capacity to provide informed, impartial, and ethical reporting on key policy issues; and help the media to serve as a forum for national dialogue,” the spokesperson said.

“Balanced,” “objective,” and “impartial” must mean “serving to advance the radical LGBT agenda.”

Sri Lankans rejected ideological colonization by Western moonbats by overthrowing President Gotabaya Rajapaksa, who was starving the country with the green agenda. Let’s hope they have the good sense to spit out the LGBT BS that our government is shoving into their mouths at our expense. Swallow that stuff and it will make you very sick, as our own country has learned.

Leftists condemn colonialism with maximum righteousness, as if it were morally wrong of the hated British Empire to impose its culture and values by building railroads throughout Asia and Africa and virtually eliminating the slave trade that had existed since before recorded history. Once again, leftists are hypocrites. The Liberal World Order engages aggressively in its own colonialism — although the culture and values now imposed are very different:

The State Department awarded a $20,600 grant on Sept. 23 to the Centro Ecuatoriano Norteamericano (CEN), a non-profit organization supported by the U.S. Embassy and Consulate in Ecuador, to “promote diversity and inclusion” in the region.

“Diversity and inclusion” mean moonbattery:

The project at CEN, which started Sept. 30 and runs until Aug. 31, 2023, will include “3 workshops,” “12 drag theater performances,” and a “2-minute documentary,” according to the State Department’s grant listed on the USASpending.gov website.

Here’s how Foggy Bottom’s Antony Blinken types justify wasting our money in such an obnoxiously tasteless manner:

The grant to CEN is part of the State Department’s public diplomacy program, which seeks to “support the achievement of U.S. foreign policy goals and objectives, advance national interests, and enhance national security by informing and influencing foreign publics and by expanding and strengthening the relationship between the people and government of the United States and citizens of the rest of the world,” the website states.

The rest of the world is encouraged to think we are repulsive degenerate perverts. This is how the gay pride flag flying over the American embassy in Kabul helped provide the Taliban with the public support needed to take over Afghanistan so instantly. There as elsewhere, advancing the LGBT agenda abroad has been a Biden Administration priority, taking precedence over American interests.
