WAITING ON TITLE 10 Orders from @JoeBiden / @KamalaHarris—directing SECDEF to redirect military assets for Defense Support of Civil Authorities (DSCA).

Lack of coordination, lack of proactive preparedness, lack of pre-planned responses…

As a DSCA SME, I can tell you this is systemic.

I founded a company 8yrs ago to bridge this gap, and NO University, City, State wanted to proactively identify their risks addressing Security/Weather/CBRN-E Disaster Threats.

I was told, directly, that neither my 9 Executives nor I would ever receive investment in our company because we presented solutions to risk assessments—and this process would be more of a liability than the reactions to failures after a Mass Casualty event.

Until this mindset changes, we will never get ahead of the chaos and the cost of reactionary responses.

The company I founded remains on the back burner.

Waiting for FEMA shouldn’t be the answer.
It has been over 150hrs since Hurricane Helene made landfall in Florida.
Proactive preparedness occurred on some States.

Without Title 10 authority, however, the military cannot support.

Title 32 is not the same support (only National Guard), and is limited.

Listen closely to this question, and the difficulty @PressSec has responding to it.

Why might that be?

Why is Israel claiming this?

foxnews.com/world/israeli-…

Huh.
Interesting how this story has had almost no traction?

Why might that be?
Who is Rob Malley, and why is his intimate connection with Iran, his position and his access to highly classified material concerning?

Hi, @Tim_Walz and @KamalaHarris—
Just wondering, did you also “misprint” your rank as Command Sergeant Major on your Congressional Challenge Coin?

NB: Thank you to several veterans who provided me the images of Walz’ congressional challenge coin.

Is it no wonder that many believed him to have retired at this rank?

Thanks, @DurwinPye, for sharing this post—not part of my sourcing, but clearly corroborating.

(Had to repost as the OP has limited his access—@derik__david—internet is forever, buddy.)

VATICAN CITY— Pope Francis condemns surrogacy, “gender theory” and transgender sex change in new document, “Dignitas infinita”.

SURROGACY CONDEMNED:
48. The Church also takes a stand against the practice of surrogacy, through which the immensely
worthy child becomes a mere object. On this point, Pope Francis’s words have a singular clarity: “The path to peace calls for respect for life, for every human life, starting with the life of the unborn child in the mother’s womb, which cannot be suppressed or turned into an object of trafficking. In this
regard, I deem deplorable the practice of so-called surrogate motherhood, which represents a grave violation of the dignity of the woman and the child, based on the exploitation of situations of the
mother’s material needs. A child is always a gift and never the basis of a commercial contract.

GENDER THEORY CONDEMNED:

55. The Church wishes, first of all, “to reaffirm that every person, regardless of sexual orientation,
ought to be respected in his or her dignity and treated with consideration, while ‘every sign of unjust
discrimination’ is to be carefully avoided, particularly any form of aggression and violence.”[101] For
this reason, it should be denounced as contrary to human dignity the fact that, in some places, not a
few people are imprisoned, tortured, and even deprived of the good of life solely because of their sexual orientation.

56. At the same time, the Church highlights the definite critical issues present in gender theory. On
this point, Pope Francis has reminded us that “the path to peace calls for respect for human rights, in accordance with the simple yet clear formulation contained in the Universal Declaration of Human
Rights, whose seventy-fifth anniversary we recently celebrated. These principles are self-evident and
commonly accepted. Regrettably, in recent decades, attempts have been made to introduce new rights
that are neither fully consistent with those originally defined nor always acceptable. They have led to
instances of ideological colonization, in which gender theory plays a central role; the latter is extremely dangerous since it cancels differences in its claim to make everyone equal.”

57. Regarding gender theory, whose scientific coherence is the subject of considerable debate among
experts, the Church recalls that human life in all its dimensions, both physical and spiritual, is a gift
from God. This gift is to be accepted with gratitude and placed at the service of the good. Desiring a
personal self-determination, as gender theory prescribes, apart from this fundamental truth that human
life is a gift, amounts to a concession to the age-old temptation to make oneself God, entering into
competition with the true God of love revealed to us in the Gospel.

58. Another prominent aspect of gender theory is that it intends to deny the greatest possible difference that exists between living beings: sexual difference. This foundational difference is not
only the greatest imaginable difference but is also the most beautiful and most powerful of them.

In the male-female couple, this difference achieves the most marvelous of reciprocities. It thus becomes
the source of that miracle that never ceases to surprise us: the arrival of new human beings in the
world.

59. In this sense, respect for both one’s own body and that of others is crucial in light of the proliferation of claims to new rights advanced by gender theory. This ideology “envisages a society
without sexual differences, thereby eliminating the anthropological basis of the family.”

It thus becomes unacceptable that “some ideologies of this sort, which seek to respond to what are at times
understandable aspirations, manage to assert themselves as absolute and unquestionable, even dictating how children should be raised. It needs to be emphasized that ‘biological sex and the socio-cultural role of sex (gender) can be distinguished but not separated.’”

Therefore, all attempts to obscure reference to the ineliminable sexual difference between man and woman are to be rejected:
“We cannot separate the masculine and the feminine from God’s work of creation, which is prior to
all our decisions and experiences, and where biological elements exist which are impossible to
ignore.” Only by acknowledging and accepting this difference in reciprocity can each person fully
discover themselves, their dignity, and their identity.”

SEX CHANGE CONDEMNED:

60. The dignity of the body cannot be considered inferior to that of the person as such. The Catechism
of the Catholic Church expressly invites us to recognize that “the human body shares in the dignity
of ‘the image of God.’”

Such a truth deserves to be remembered, especially when it comes to sex change, for humans are inseparably composed of both body and soul. In this, the body serves as the living context in which the interiority of the soul unfolds and manifests itself, as it does also through the network of human relationships. Constituting the person’s being, the soul and the body both
participate in the dignity that characterizes every human.[107] Moreover, the body participates in that dignity as it is endowed with personal meanings, particularly in its sexed condition.
It is in the body that each person recognizes himself or herself as generated by others, and it is through their bodies that men and women can establish a loving relationship capable of generating other persons.
Teaching about the need to respect the natural order of the human person, Pope Francis affirmed that
“creation is prior to us and must be received as a gift. At the same time, we are called to protect our
humanity, and this means, in the first place, accepting it and respecting it as it was created.”

It follows that any sex-change intervention, as a rule, risks threatening the unique dignity the person has received from the moment of conception. This is not to exclude the possibility that a person with genital abnormalities that are already evident at birth or that develop later may choose to receive the assistance of healthcare professionals to resolve these abnormalities. However, in this case, such a medical procedure would not constitute a sex change in the sense intended here.

MARYLAND—A @Maersk cargo vessel struck the Francis Scott Key bridge in Baltimore.

As a veteran Naval Officer who has spent thousands of hours as Officer of the Deck, I’m not sure how this happened?
Any mariners out there witness this or monitoring B2B or—even better—@PilotHarbour @FLHarborPilots, want to jump in on navigating this port?

BACKGROUND—
According to @BTBoyle’s video tour (cited) of a Maersk cargo vessel bridge, they have detailed charts, ECDIS, Radar, two GPS for Nav…and their EYES…for navigation. It’s pretty hard to collide with a stationary target or landmass, but it happens.

I’m to locate the lights/buoys that marked that specific bridge pile on the video, not seeing it? Was there one ever present?

Finally, yes—cargo vessels often run on auto pilot, but someone is always on the bridge. They also don’t tent to run autopilot during transit near ports and busy costal waterways.
They aren’t showing lights signifying engine, shaft or rudder failures/not under command (red over red).

@SynergyMarine statement:

“Owners and managers of the Singapore-flagged container ship “DALI” (IMO 9697428) report that the vessel collided with one of the pillars of the Francis Scott Key Bridge, Baltimore whilst under pilotage with two pilots onboard, at approximately 01 30 local time on 26th March.
All crew members, including the two pilots have been accounted for and there are no reports of any injuries. There has also been no pollution.
Whilst the exact cause of the incident is yet to be determined, the ‘DALI’ has now mobilised its Qualified Individual Incident response service. The US Coast Guard and local officials have been notified, and the owners and managers are fully cooperating with Federal and State government agencies under an approved plan

Vessel Information:
Name: Dali
•Capacity: 10,000 TEU
•Onboard Units: 4,679 TEU
•DWT:116,851.
•Crew: All Indian, 22 in total
•Owner: Grace Ocean Private Ltd
•Movement: Outbound from Baltimore to Colombo

VATICAN CITY—The new Prefect of the Doctrine of the Faith states people in “irregular” unions, such as same sex unions, may NOT receive anything resembling liturgical blessings, or blessings of their unions.

They may, however, receive spontaneous blessing, limited to “the invocation of a blessing that descends from God upon those who recognizing themselves to be destitute and in need of his help do not claim a legitimation of their own status, but who beg that all that is true, good, and humanly valid in their lives and their relationships be enriched, healed, and elevated by the presence of the Holy Spirit. These forms of blessing express a supplication that God may grant those aids that come from the impulses of his Spirit what classical theology calls "actual grace" —so that human relationships may mature and grow in fidelity to the Gospel, that they may be freed from their imperfections and frailties, and that they may express themselves in the ever-increasing dimension of the divine love.”

Translation: Nothing has changed.
Sorry, no gay weddings, but sure, you can ask a priest to bless you.
