The joint chiefs of woke

 Stephen Kruiser:

...

Welcome to Joe Freakin’ Biden’s America, boys and girls.

This trend towards woke sentiments among the higher ranks of the military is disturbing for any number of reasons. Hillbilly Elegy author J.D. Vance brilliantly illustrated a couple of them in a brief Twitter thread on Friday. Vance — a Marine and Iraq War veteran — took Gen. Milley to task, questioning the general’s priorities and reading habits:

Ouch.

Vance’s follow-up to that said, “What I find so enraging about the Joint Chiefs’s pandering on progressive wokeness is that they know damn well the geography and politics of who dies in American wars. The conservative Americans you trash are disproportionately bleeding for this country.”

Predictably, the lefty Twitter mob crawled out from under their domineering mommies’ skirts and blasted Vance for daring to question psychotic leftist orthodoxy. I won’t highlight any of the responses here because I trust that we are all already well aware of the cesspool-spawned nature of these people.

Several of the people lambasting Vance claim to be active duty and willing to march in the Shame Parade. I immediately headed for a grain of salt when I read those comments. I may not know as many active duty people as I used to but I’m still in touch with a few. And I know a lot of fairly recently retired military folk. None of them are on board with the woke brass. In fact, most are horrified by what’s happening.

Gen. Milley’s assertion that reading Marx does not make one a Marxist is very true. However, believing that a Marxist philosophy like CRT informs one about reality does. It means that you’ve bought into the insanity. Again, if General Milley were Professor Milley this would be a real yawner.

...

What Gen Milley calls "white rage" was a political demonstration of people who are unhappy about Biden's election.  That is their right and they do not need any psychological analysis for their political position.  Some may have gotten out of hand and acted like Antifa and BLM who have been largely excused for their looting, plunder, and arson attacks that resulted in much more damage and many deaths actually attributable to their attacks. 

I do not think Milley or the Admiral questioned about CRT won any converts to this screwy racist garbage.  Instead, they come across as an embarrassment to many Americans.  I am not criticizing them for reading the CRT material.  I am criticizing them for thinking this garbage has a point or will help them be better leaders.

Should Republicans go ahead and add Supreme Court Justices to head off Democrats

Washington Post: Some Democrats eye adding more justices to the Supreme Court to change its ideological bent The once-remote idea has gained the attention of liberals angered by the GOP push to remake the federal courts. Probably the easy way to defeat this court-packing scheme is for Trump to propose doing the same thing now.  It would lead to Democrat denunciations and claims that it would be wrong, thereby blowing up any attempt by them in the unfortunate event of Democrats winning a presidential election.

29 % of companies say they are unlikely to keep insurance after Obamacare

Conn Carroll: A new survey of 368 midsize to large companies found that 29% of them are considering terminating their active employee health care plans when Obamacare is full implemented in 2014. Only 71% of employers surveyed said they did not expect to drop their health coverage, while 20% said they did not know and 9% said they were planning to exit. The latest survey, conducted by Towers Watson, echoes an ealier survey by McKinsey & Co. finding that 30% of private-sector employers were planning to drop their employee health insurance coverage by 2014. When the Congressional Budget Office crunched Obamacare's spending numbers, they estimated that only 7% of employees currently covered by employer-sponsored plans would lose their plans. ... This means the cost of the health care fiasco will be hundreds of billions more than estimated by the CBO and Congressional Democrat. It is also clear that Obama's pledge that you could keep your health care plan if you wanted t

Bin Laden's concern about Zarqawi's remains

James Robbins: ... Bin Laden suggests that President Bush should allow Zarqawi’s body to be returned to his family in Jordan, but this is a matter that is up to the Jordanian government, which so far has not shown much interest in facilitating a homecoming. Bin Laden mocks King Abdullah II, calling him a Coalition minion, and asking “w hat scares you about Abu Musab after he’s dead? You know that his funeral, if allowed to happen, would be a huge funeral showing the extent of sympathy with the mujahedin.” A large crowd would definitely turn out, though most people would be on hand to demonstrate their anger and disgust. Last November’s hotel bombings in Amman , masterminded by Zarqawi, are still fresh in people’s memory, and mentioning them to Jordanians has the same visceral impact as memory of the 9/11 attacks does here. Jordan has adopted a zero-tolerance policy towards those who choose to mourn the country’s least favorite son, and four opposition members of parliament who paid con
