One Fox News segment has done more to discredit the military in the eyes of the demographic that supports it than twenty years of incompetence and failure in the Middle East.

“For 99 percent of Americans, the question will never come up in a job interview: Can you hang from a bar and tuck your legs to your chest?”

Other jobs don’t have fitness standards, why should the army? nytimes.com/2021/03/11/us/…
The new test “does away with separate scoring curves...In its earliest rollout among 14,000 soldiers, 65 percent of a small set of women failed the new test” compared to 10 percent of men. Good luck coming up with your unified standards men and women meet equally. 😂
“troops and their commanders know that major changes to these requirements would amount to a significant cultural shift for the fitness-obsessed force.” Affirmative action eliminates standards, never heard of such a thing.

The Cuomo New York article starts with a roast where they played a game that made a staffer think "you're mean." nymag.com/intelligencer/…
One female staffer wore a shirt she thought was cute, Cuomo told her she "looked like a lumberjack." She offered him her phone number and "he behaved as if she’d come on to him." Who's the real victim here?
Another one of Cuomo's crimes is not hiring enough ugly women.

Ok, I just read the Rubio piece. It's more delusional than I thought, he sees unionization as a way for workers to resist woke programming. What planet is this guy on! All unions are led by leftist radicals, it would be much more likely to demand it. usatoday.com/story/opinion/…
There are already unions in some industries. Do any of them push back on HR policies or wokeness? Is there a single example of this?
Conquest's law: you need explicitly right wing institutions, anything neutral will go leftist. But this is seeking to empower those already left wing! Go with Romney over this, at least he's not stupid enough to just take AOC's program and think he's winning the culture war.

Parents can afford to send their kids to a $50K/year school and live in fear. Why not leave, invest $50K a year in cancellation insurance, and give it to the kid at 18? I know poor grad students who speak out, this is cowardice. No sympathy. city-journal.org/the-miseducati…
If you took a Pakistani goat herder and started teaching his kids gender fluidity he would take risks to stop it. Because he actually believes in something, he has a part of his soul that is not simply devoted to status seeking.
“We need to feed our families. Oh, and pay $50,000 a year to have our children get indoctrinated.” Do these people listen to themselves?

New report from the US gov on gender equality in Afghanistan. What are we still doing in Afghanistan, you ask? US has spent $787 million on gender programs, not including gender included in other programs. Hope to challenge stereotypes and patriarchy 1/n usip.org/sites/default/… ImageImage
Report begins with a map, gives you lay of the land, so you know all the provinces you have to control in order to overthrow the patriarchy. 2/n Image
"There is no Dari or Pashto word for the terms 'gender' and 'gender equality.'...Afghans often simply use the English word without any translation."

Obviously, the US will need to help change the language, maybe introduce new pronouns to accomplish its mission. 3/n Image

This “Foundation for the Defense of Democracies” sure has some strong opinions about how one of the most brutal dictatorships in the world can maintain influence in Washington. Very strange. Image
“Like a normalisation agreement with Israel.” Just spitballing here guys, putting it out there.

How good a politician is Joe Biden? He's the president and conservatives seem to barely think about him at all. CPAC is more focused on taking down Hillary Clinton, the failed 2016 nominee. I've never heard the phrase "Biden derangement syndrome."
Pelosi toilet paper selling well at CPAC. This article based on interviews with CPAC attendees doesn't mention Biden's name once. nytimes.com/2021/02/28/us/… Image
The PC crowd is unbearable, but they aren't always wrong! You have to be blind not to notice a pattern where Obama, Hillary, and Pelosi get all the hate while Schumer and Biden barely get any.
