/1 As the military faces increasing criticism for its embrace of “woke” politics and transgenderism, we sent a letter to the Naval Inspector General, demanding an investigation into YN2 Joshua Kelley - the “Navy Drag Queen” - for appearing to discredit the military.

Thread ⤵️ ImageImage
/2 Department of Defense and Department of the Navy policy prohibits military members from “solicit[ing] votes for or against a partisan political party, candidate, or cause.”
/3 This prohibition applies whether the member is in or out of uniform.

However, Yeoman Second Class (YN2) Kelley appears to have repeatedly done just that, soliciting votes for various Democratic candidates on Twitter. ImageImage
/4 He also appears to make frequent use of his platform to criticize legislation pushed by Republican elected officials all over the country. Image
/5 Further, when in uniform, troops may not participate in “political activities . . . when an inference of official sponsorship by DoD . . . may be drawn.”

YN2 Kelley’s Twitter bio currently reads as: Image
/6 His bio fails to include any disclaimers that separate the posts from the official views of the Navy, and he frequently appears in uniform and in drag in the same post, which implies Navy endorsement of his actions. Image
/7 YN2 Kelley also posts graphic images and descriptions of sexual acts on his Twitter and Instagram pages, variously bragging about his personal sexual practices and complaining about his lack of sexual satisfaction.
/8 YN2 Kelley also has a longstanding pattern of openly disrespecting his superiors and the United States Navy itself. Image
/9 Finally, troops may not wear the uniform “when [that] may tend to bring discredit upon the Military Services.”

Yet, many of YN2 Kelley’s Instagram and Twitter posts appear to consist of images or videos juxtaposing YN2 Kelley in his Navy uniform with depictions of him in… twitter.com/i/web/status/1… Image
/10 America First Legal is demanding that an investigation be immediately opened into the conduct of Joshua Kelley (and into the Navy’s tolerance for his misbehavior) to prevent further damage to the Navy’s reputation. aflegal.org/america-first-…

🚨 BREAKING: NPR’s GOVERNMENT-FUNDED DEI policies EXPOSED!

The Senate just voted to cut funding for NPR. Why should you care?

Among other things:

NPR admits to tracking the race of its employees and, incredibly, its SOURCES used to give you the ‘news.’

Your tax dollars are hard at work pushing an agenda, not reporting the news. 🧵Image
/2 Focused on “inclusive storytelling” (instead of “accurate reporting”), NPR tracks the demographics of its news sources in order to achieve its “newsroom mission” “to look and sound like America.”

THEY ARE RACIALLY BALANCING THEIR NEWS SOURCES! Image
/3 Translation: NPR is basing which stories it covers, runs, and airs on the basis of skin color and sex of the sources of their stories. But don’t just take our word for it. They openly admit it.

This News Source Tracking initiative appears to have resulted in a 16% drop in the number of white news sources since 2013 while black sources have been the primary beneficiary.Image

/1🚨🗳 BREAKING — AFL just filed a formal petition with the U.S. Election Assistance Commission to require proof of U.S. citizenship to register to vote in federal elections.

No more “honor system.”

No more loopholes.

Only U.S. citizens voting in U.S. elections. Image
/2 Federal law requires all states to use a single form for voter registration for federal elections.

This form, which the EAC is responsible for maintaining and amending, is required to collect the information necessary to “assess the eligibility of the applicant.” Image
/3 But the federal voter registration form doesn’t actually require any proof of citizenship…

It only requires applicants to check a box saying they are a U.S. citizen.

And it doesn’t require any verification that applicants are telling the truth. Image

/1🚨EXPOSED — The Left is suing to reinstate Biden’s DEI grants, calling it “discrimination” to stop funding race-based woke research.

But here’s what NIH really terminated:

A pipeline of radical, discriminatory junk science.

We read all 4,400 grants. Here’s what we found...🧵 Image
/2 Biden’s HHS awarded $740,000 to NYU for a project titled ADEPT: Assessing Diversity Effects Post Affirmative Action Restrictions in Medical Schools.

The purpose? To study how medical schools can adapt admissions and preserve racial preferences after the Supreme Court’s decision in Students for Fair Admissions.

The goal? To preserve race-based admissions pipelines using “equity and inclusion” as a cover.

This isn’t research.

It’s taxpayer-funded resistance to the Supreme Court.Image
/3 Biden’s HHS also awarded $2.1 million to Emory University to study meth use among black, gay, bisexual “men who have sex with men.”

The goal of the project? To “generate knowledge” to ameliorate “meth-related harms among black GBMSM.”

Apparently, “structural racism,” a “discriminatory LGBT climate,” and “health inequities” are to blame for drug abuse now.

And yes, there’s a lawsuit demanding we reinstate this. 🤡Image

/1🚨BREAKING — AFL just SUED HHS, CMS, and HRSA to expose an ILLEGAL Biden-era plan to give out organ transplants based on RACE and ETHNICITY — not medical need.

DEI in healthcare is DEADLY. Image
/2 In December 2021, Biden’s Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services (CMS) sought public comments on how to “Advance Equity and Reduce Disparities in Organ Transplantation.” Image
/3 In January 2022, Biden’s Health Resources Services Administration (HRSA) announced new reporting requirements for tracking the race and ethnicity of transplant candidates and recipients. Image

Fox News on AFL’s complaint against the Dodgers:

“A federal civil rights complaint has been filed with the U.S. Equal Employment Opportunity Commission against the Los Angeles Dodgers… for allegedly engaging in ‘unlawful discrimination.’ Image
“The complaint was filed by America First Legal, the nonprofit conservative public interest organization, against both entities, which are led by Mark Walter, the majority owner of the Dodgers and CEO of Guggenheim Partners.” Image
“‘Their employment practices, as described below, appear to discriminate against employees, or prospective employees, solely because of their skin color or sex. This is patently unlawful,’ AFL’s complaint, which was provided to Fox News Digital, began.” Image

/1🚨VICTORY — AFL secured a SIX-FIGURE SETTLEMENT from Montgomery County Public Schools after a court found its “Staff Pride” group likely violated the First Amendment by blocking our client on X for criticizing it for stripping parents’ rights to opt kids out of LGBT curriculum. Image
/2 In November 2023, AFL sued MCPS on behalf of @bethanyshondark and @MatthewFoldi after MCPS employees used a government-run social media account to silence critics of their far-left agenda. Image
@bethanyshondark @MatthewFoldi /3 In denying MCPS’s motion to dismiss, the court said, “Mandel was iced out while others who shared the Pride Members’ views and supported the MCPS policies were not similarly restricted.”
