U.S. Navy Drops High School Diploma, GED Requirement for Recruits — What Could Possibly Go Wrong? By Mike Miller

U.S. Navy Drops High School Diploma, GED Requirement for Recruits — What Could Possibly Go Wrong? By Mike Miller

"No Diploma? No Problem! 

The U.S. Navy has again lowered enlistment requirements as it struggles to meet self-inflicted recruiting goals. 

• As reported by Navy Times on Friday, America's naval force will now allow those without a high school diploma to enlist as long as they score a 50 or higher on the Armed Forces Qualification Test that all prospects must take. 
• Those without a General Educational Development (GED) will also be allowed to enlist if they hit the test threshold, according to the Chief of Naval Personnel’s office.

The Navy is not alone in its failure to hit recruiting goals...

...Lowering standards had been recommended to the military brass in order to improve diversity metrics. As was ignoring criminal records and other issues...

...As the Heritage Foundation opined in a December 2023 article: "The military went woke.

Today's American military has fully embraced the social imperatives of the Left and the most progressive aspects of American society.

• The U.S. Air Force selects officers based on a race- and sex-based quota system for officer applicants—an affirmative action program that would make the Ivy League blush.
• In August, the U.S. Army Special Operations Command released a report on “Women in Combat”—not to analyze the effectiveness of Army Special Operations Forces, but to excoriate itself for supposed persistent bigotry.
• Earlier this year, Army officials released a memo making soldiers undergoing “gender transition” non-deployable for almost one year...

"An Egyptian journalist on government television made an unusual and harsh statement to the residents of Gaza:

If the residents of Gaza try to get close to the Egyptian border and enter our country as refugees, they are doomed. They will die after being shot. You can enter our territory but you will return in death bags. We have no time for your boredom. They truly hate them

‘Error-Filled’ Greenhouse Gas Theory Exposed: No CO2 Climate Warming John O'Sullivan

‘Error-Filled’ Greenhouse Gas Theory Exposed: No CO2 Climate Warming John O'Sullivan

• Latest independent research shows no measurable atmospheric carbon dioxide greenhouse effect, affirming findings in the groundbreaking 2010 book, Slaying the Sky Dragon: Death of the Greenhouse Gas Theory. 
• Therefore, CO2 is proven innocent of any added global warming.

"In the last decade more scientists have come forward to admit that climate computer models are fatally flawed because university academics have overlooked to check their wild alarmist predictions with independent industry experts who have the ‘hands on’ knowledge of the real world properties of CO2...

Dr Ott explains in his attached video presentation Markus Ott: Convection and Thermalisation Kill The Greenhouse Effect:

In my last video I explained the saturation effect for light absorptions in this context I mentioned Heinz Hugs  who measured the extinction coefficient of CO2 in air. Based on these measurements he concluded that due to the saturation of the 15 micrometer CO2 absorption the further increase of the atmospheric CO2 concentration will have practically no influence on the Earth’s surface temperature...

8 Signs That Demonstrate How Truly Bizarre Our Society Is Becoming

8 Signs That Demonstrate How Truly Bizarre Our Society Is Becoming - MICHAEL SNYDER

"...We’re not in the America that we grew up in anymore. 

Instead, we now live in a country that appears to be a cross between a really bad science fiction movie and a freak show. 

Sadly, the pace of change has now reached an exponential rate, and things will get even more insane during the years that are ahead of us. 

• The following are 8 signs that demonstrate how truly bizarre our society is becoming…

#1 Facial recognition technology is now being implemented on a widespread basis. For example, the official TSA website is openly admitting that the TSA is starting to use facial scanning technology at airports nationwide…
#2 The elite want to make national borders meaningless, and that is quickly becoming the case. So many people from foreign countries have moved into the Twin Cities area in Minnesota that authorities are being forced to put up signs explaining that peeing, pooping and rape are not allowed while riding public transportation…
#4 In Montana, one family just had their 14-year-old daughter permanently taken away from them because they wouldn’t allow her to transition to a different gender…

Simply evil!

 

Speaker Johnson personally read the law to Biden on border crisis, and he reveals why Biden refuses to take action | Blaze Media

Speaker Johnson personally read the law to Biden on border crisis, and he reveals why Biden refuses to take action | Blaze Media: 

House Speaker Mike Johnson (R) admitted Friday that he believes White House staff — not President Joe Biden — are making decisions about Biden's immigration policy.

Last weekend, Biden promised to "shut down" the border only if Congress passes a controversial bill — which has not yet been drafted — that Republicans believe will do little to stymie the migrant crisis. However, Republicans like Johnson have been urging Biden to use the authority he already possesses to alleviate the crisis.

In an interview on Fox Business, Johnson revealed how he knows that Biden is aware of that authority: because he has personally read the law to Biden.

STUNNER! Scientists want 'global moratorium' on deadly mRNA shots: 

Liberty Counsel founder Mat Staver said, "In this exhaustive review paper, these scientists confirm what sound scientific research has been showing for years, that these shots have never been safe nor effective. The FDA and the CDC are supposed to protect the people, but they have become the lapdog of the pharmaceutical industry. This must change."

• Do the Math: DC is Getting Even Dumber

In this 12-month interim, fiscal revenues did increase by about 8%, but outlays (i.e., expenses) for that same period rose by 12%, which is just a mathematical way of saying that either: 

1) Uncle Sam is out of his mind in debt; or 

2) that I am out of my mind in common sense.

But it seems I’m not the alone in saying out loud what no one DC can say to themselves, namely: The US is now in an open and obvious debt spiral...

No, Michigan bill won't criminalize use of wrong pronouns | Fact check

• The claim: A Michigan bill would make using a person’s wrong gender pronouns a felony...
• Our rating: False

"The bill would have no effect on a person’s First Amendment right to free speech, lawmakers from both parties and legal experts say. The bill language does not include the word "pronoun." 

• What it would criminalize is conduct, specifically intimidation...
• The Michigan House of Representatives passed a bill on June 20 that would expand the state’s 35-year-old hate crime law to include protections for sexual orientation, gender identity or expression, physical or mental disability and age. It carries penalties of up to five years in prison and a $10,000 fine....
• It would allow prosecutors to bring hate-crime charges against those who “maliciously and intentionally” intimidate people because they belong to a protected group.

Some people could argue that using an incorrect gender pronoun counts as intimidation...
It defines intimidation as a “willful course of conduct” involving “repeated or continuing harassment” that would cause a reasonable person to feel terrorized, frightened or threatened.

U.S. Representative Ilhan Omar (D-Minn.) recently spoke at a Minneapolis event discussing the fledgling Republic of Somaliland’s efforts to break away from greater Somalia. In the course of that speech, she assured her mostly Somali audience that she is “Somali first, Muslim second.” She also told them that they could “sleep in comfort knowing I am here to protect the interests of Somalia from inside the U.S. system.”

Reading ‘Lord Of The Rings’ And ‘1984’ Could Lead To Right-Wing Extremism, Gov’t Report Warns

Reading ‘Lord Of The Rings’ And ‘1984’ Could Lead To Right-Wing Extremism, Gov’t Report Warns - KAY SMYTHE 

"...In his column, Murray described how Britain’s Prevent program was founded to support counter-terrorism efforts, but has gradually swayed into a focus on only extremists from Islam and “far-right” ideological mindsets. 

• He evidenced this claim by citing that Prevent was consulted by activist groups such as Hope not Hate, which he argues believes that people who voted for Brexit and are against illegal immigrants are far-right.
• He further noted that Prevents’ “Research Information and Communications Unit” (RICU) has previously listed historical texts as red flags. Essentially, if someone is reading “1984,” or works by Lewis, Tolkien, Aldous Huxley, or Joseph Conrad, they should be suspected of being a far-right extremist terrorist. Murray’s own book was on the list.
