/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.

/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.
/4 He also appears to make frequent use of his platform to criticize legislation pushed by Republican elected officials all over the country.
/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:
/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.
/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.
/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…
/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-…

/1 We filed a brief with SCOTUS on behalf of @SenTedCruz@SenTomCotton@KatieBoydBritt@SenMikeLee@SenatorBraun, in a case challenging DHS’s evisceration of the Immigration and Nationality Act’s limits on the number of aliens who may lawfully work in the United States.
Read:
/2 Congress has set strict numerical and industry limitations on nonimmigrant work visas to minimize the risk that corporate employers will use low wage foreigners to displace American workers, as the Disney Corporation, AT&T, Walmart, and others have done.
/3 However, DHS was dissatisfied with the Congressional limits and devised a plan whereby millions of F-1 student visa holders could be granted permission by administrative fiat to work legally in the United States for years after completing their “studies.”

/1 🆕 BREAKING — We filed 5 public records requests with public gender clinics in Georgia, Iowa, Ohio, Utah, and Virginia to obtain records related to “gender-affirming care,” – a euphemism for chemical castration and genital mutilation.
Let’s unpack this inhumane practice:
/2 “Gender-affirming care” involves the practice of prescribing puberty blockers and cross-sex hormones, as well as using life-altering surgeries like mastectomies, vaginoplasty, phalloplasty, and metoidioplasty to give children the irreversible appearance of the opposite sex.
/3 Many of these drugs are being prescribed for off-label use, and the long-term effects are not known. European countries have significantly pulled back on these irreversible “treatments” that are rooted in social contagion rather than medical necessity.
/1🔎 NEW — We released more of Joe Biden’s Vice Presidential records from our lawsuit against the National Archives. These new emails further reveal how the Biden family shared influence and access to the Obama White House with their family and friends.
