This sounds true from everything I've heard over the years.

No wonder the ChiComs are so confident about defeating the US Navy, and Russian subs are operating off Hawaii. dailymail.co.uk/news/article-9…
From the report: "Sometimes I think we care more about whether we have enough diversity officers than if we'll survive a fight with the Chinese navy."

"compliance-centered warfare"
'I guarantee you every unit in the Navy is up to speed on their diversity training. I'm sorry that I can't say the same of their ship handling training.'

94% of the subjects believed the recent Naval disasters were 'part of a broader problem in Navy culture or leadership.' Image
"One of the key issues raised by the officers interviewed for the report was a concern that Navy leaders spend more time focusing on diversity training than on developing warfighting capacity and key operational skills."
"Former Secretary of the Navy John Lehman made the startling claim that of the four key admirals who led the Navy to victory in World War II, none would make the rank of captain in today's fleet."

🧵 Trump's squeeze on Antigua and Barbuda 🇦🇬 passportholders is having an effect on the pro-Maduro @gastonbrowne cartel that runs the Caribbean country.

Browne's opposition is not blaming Trump. It is blaming Browne.

And Browne blames Trump. @DeputySecState @SecRubio @StephenM facebook.com/itsmyupp/video…Image
2) "We are in a place that we have never been before - a place where lifelong friends are not only telling us we can’t be trusted, but they’re telling us we are no longer welcome in their house," says opposition leader Jamale Pringle. Not only in the US, but Canada & EU. facebook.com/reel/181162564…Image
3) "It was Gaston Browne, allowing shady characters to sell our passports. It was GaB, handing out diplomatic passports like Cracker Jack to persons who know nothing about Antigua and Barbuda, while he left his parliamentarians have no such privilege," Pringle said. (Browne is pictured below)Image

🧵 1) The Cuban regime will collapse soon. We must be prepared to deal with its 66 year-old international terror network - and the people in it.

Including people in the United States.

Mike Gonzalez @Gundisalvus summarizes that network in this new report (link in next post). Image
@Gundisalvus 2) "From training Marxist terrorists in the 1960s, to the pro-Hamas mayhem at U.S. universities in 2024 and 2025, to the spread of transnational crime syndicates in U.S. cities, Cuba’s rulers have long plotted America’s demise."

@Gundisalvus 3) "Today, Cuba’s communist regime is the mastermind of Caracas’s plan to destabilize U.S. streets through narco-trafficking and political unrest."

DOJ needs to draw up indictments of the Cuban officials responsible and bring them here for trial.

🧵 The new National Security Strategy of the US is more pro-Europe than many Europeans are.

Page 5: "We want to support our allies in preserving the freedom and security of Europe, while restoring Europe’s civilizational self-confidence and Western identity" Image

"We will oppose elite-driven, anti-democratic restrictions on core liberties in Europe, the Anglosphere, and the rest of the democratic world, especially among our allies.: Image
3) The US opposes "disastrous ... ideologies that have so greatly harmed Europe, threaten the United States, and subsidize our adversaries." (page 14) Image

🧵 Horrified at the @nypost report that President Trump might pardon (former) CCP secret police man Miles Guo Wengui.

Guo is not a victim of Biden. He was on the losing end of an internal CCP purge when his patron, Vice Minister of State Security Ma Jian, lost favor with Xi Jinping.

Guo sought to gain influence in the US by infiltrating President Trump's inner circle in 2017, pretending want to "take down the CCP" while at the same time making a written statement and video swearing loyalty to Xi Jinping.Image
@nypost Guo worked to penetrate Trump45's inner circle while trying to get back in Xi Jinping's good graces.

He is a Fifth Amendment Communist who refused in federal court to answer questions about his continued ties to the CCP & the CCP's intelligence services.
@nypost NY Post: “Guo Wengui was convicted for stealing over $1 billion from innocent victims who were duped that he is a Chinese dissident. Anyone who would work to have him pardoned by President Trump is doing this out of pure self-interest." nypost.com/2025/11/13/us-…

🧵 It's important for President Trump to restore the two-century-old Monroe Doctrine, which the neocons abandoned & the Left renounced.

He should update & adapt the Monroe Doctrine, modernizing it with a Trump Corollary to guide strategic thinking and action in our hemisphere. Image
In his first term, President Trump pledged to "reject the interference of foreign nations in this hemisphere and in our own affairs" - nations like Russia, Iran, and China - but the State Department didn't get far.

Things just got worse.

The Monroe Doctrine was not a blueprint for American military interventionism.

It was a defensive doctrine of the last of the presidential founding fathers. It avoided entangling alliances and exercised strategic restraint. Image

🧵 It can be a joy to read J. Edgar Hoover's speeches, articles, and books.

Here's a selection from "The Twin Enemies of Freedom," a 1956 speech the FBI Director made about Crime and Communism.

Excerpts below. Image
J. Edgar Hoover:

"Communism, like crime, advances and takes hold because men ignore God."

"The real danger in Communism lies in the fact that it is atheistic and seeks to replace the Supreme Being."

"Either the Faith of our fathers will triumph or communism will engulf us."

Fighting crime and defending against Communism start at home, with both parents, Hoover said.

"A child above all needs the firm moral backing of a conscientious mother and father and the love, understanding, and security that a good Christian home affords." Image
