'Abortion travel agency': Pentagon will allow military members to travel for abortions on taxpayer dime - TheBlaze:
The language "non-covered reproductive health care" is important. Legally speaking, the Defense Department cannot use taxpayer funds to pay for abortions; that would violated the Hyde Amendment.
But apparently, it can use taxpayer funds to assist in service members getting abortions. This means that service members stationed in a locality where abortion is not legal will be granted taxpayer funds to travel to another state where abortion is legal to end their pregnancy.

UCF's Racism in the Name of "Anti-Racism" | City Journal
UCF's Racism in the Name of "Anti-Racism" | City Journal - Christopher F. Rufo "The Social Order - The University of Central Florida has adopted radical Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion (DEI) programming that
- segregates students by race,
- condemns the United States as “white-supremacist culture,” and
- encourages active discrimination against the “oppressor” class, characterized as “male, White, heterosexual, able-bodied, and Christian.”
Officially, UCF reports that it has 14 separate DEI programs, costing in the aggregate more than $4 million per year.
But this dramatically understates the reality, which is that the ideology of “diversity, equity, and inclusion” has been entrenched everywhere.
The university’s administration and academic departments have created a blizzard of programs, classes, trainings, reports, committees, certifications, events, documents, policies, clubs, groups, conferences, and statements pledging UCF to left-wing racialism...

BUT THE CDC WANTS TO MASK TODDLERS ANYWAY:
"The Strongest Evidence Yet That Covid Masks Are Worthless.
The gold standard in medical research, the Cochrane review of clinic trials, finds no evidence that surgical or even N95 masks made any difference in stopping the spread of Covid.
Naturally, the CDC’s director vows to ignore the world’s most respected authority on health interventions.
The CDC, the only national health agency to recommend masking two-year-olds, peddled junk science throughout the pandemic to justify its cruel policies, so why stop now?
