@DschlopesIsBack The best concert I ever saw was Queensryche Operation Mind Crime, shortly before they broke up... at the House of Blues front row balcony.
Such an underrated band!
When I listen to their album "American Soldier" I'm back in the desert and young again.
Anti-Military Times is COMMUNIST... they've transcended counterculture into something else.
This veteran with an active-duty son, literally writing this from Fort Bragg, knows what all vets and soldiers know... color doesn't affect merit in our US Military. Skin means nothing.
There's an exception to this rule; Obama and Biden attempted to "diversify" our military by promoting anyone who wasn't a white male. Obama fired 300+ white male officers.
This article makes it clear that the people denied promotion were focused on DEI policy.
What you said is that SECWAR is promoting people who are focused on the mission INSTEAD OF subverting the mission with distractions.
I served in the cold war, and one of my greatest mentors was a superior who happened to have black skin. NOBODY CARED. That was more than 30 years ago.
These people are trying to divide and destroy our military and Hegseth is preventing it.
Military Times is seditious and lacks any shred of journalistic integrity or subject matter expertise on the military. They should be shut down permanently.
They're not only distracted by identity politics, they're vile human beings.

Hey Jasmine…
Black pilot here.
I think you missed the plot.
Then again, that’s becoming a pattern.
I graduated from West Point.
I went through Army flight school.
I learned to fly the AH-64 Apache.
I deployed to combat and flew 55 combat missions over Baghdad.
Nobody handed me a cockpit because of my skin color.
Nobody lowered the standards for me.
Nobody looked at me and said, “Let’s check a diversity box.”
That’s what people like you don’t seem to understand.
Suggesting that Black pilots, Black engineers, Black doctors, or Black leaders need special preferences to succeed is not empowering, it’s insulting.
I didn’t want a different standard.
I wanted the same standard.
And when you’re flying into combat, the American people don’t care what race the pilot is.
They care whether the pilot is qualified.
Merit isn’t racist.
Excellence isn’t discriminatory.
And reducing every achievement to skin color says far more about your worldview than it does about mine.
Trump just declared Iran’s military “a complete and total mess,” claiming its Navy and Air Force have been “completely defeated.”
He says Iran took too long to negotiate, and now “they will have to pay the price.”
Whether diplomacy is still alive or not, the message from Washington is no longer subtle:
The era of Iran threatening the region without consequences may be over.
They ruled Iryna’s killer is incompetent to stand trial.
The same system ruled this man was plenty competent enough to be released back into society dozens of times.
It’s past time to remove these left wing activist judges.
@TheMasterOf@WallStreetApes We're all one tribe now. It's good to be an American.
I would welcome anyone who wants to join this Great American Tribe and make this land their home.
I will never welcome those who want to live among our tribe but never be **of** our tribe.
Only a fool would allow this.
@ZiegeValkyrie@DennyGo8@ScottJenningsKY Excellent post with references.
Reminder to Patriots: Use https://t.co/KcJkad6UmY to fight liberal disinformation on Wikipedia.
Liberals: "Look at Hegseth's Nazi tats!"
Facts: Not Nazi tats at all
Liberals: "Trump is a pedo!"
Facts: Trump busted the pedos... and they're 99% Dems
Liberals: "Trump hates immigrants!"
Facts: Trump is only deporting illegals, not immigrants... and it's organized and humane... unlike Obama
Liberals: "Our economy is trashed due to Trump!"
Facts: Our economic stats are twice as good as Obiden's, after Trump has been in office only a short time.
Liberals: "We believe anything the seditious fake Media says, and even burn cities down for them!"
Facts: You are... correct this time.
BREAKING: Marco Rubio just said the quiet part out loud.
Americans work 40+ years…
Pay taxes.
Follow the rules.
Build the country.
Then retire on $800, $900, maybe $1,000 a month.
Meanwhile, new arrivals can allegedly receive more support from the same system they never paid into.
Read that again.
The people who built America are being pushed to the back of the line.
This is not compassion.
This is a government priority problem.
America First was never just a slogan.
It was a warning.
Who comes first?
The taxpayer… or the system?
@MichelleMaxwell She may have gone conservative after she went to do investigative journalism on Islam and got gang raped after the camera battery and light died.
Should it really take that much?
“You’re free to make choices, but you’re not free from the consequences. And you will face those consequences starting today.”
“People think grief is sadness, but it’s not. IT’S RAGE!” He slammed his hands on the table. “Pure, unfiltered RAGE!” Jeff screamed.
“You failed your parents, you failed yourself, and you failed society. You don’t belong in this community.”
“You’re going to prison. You can’t even look me in the eyes right now, but you had no problem stabbing my fu*king son in the heart.”
