Senate Republicans Grill Biden’s Pick For Joint Chiefs Chair Over DEI, Transgenderism In The Military

Published

on

Senate Republicans grilled Gen. Charles Q. Brown over racial politics and transgenderism throughout the U.S. military during a committee confirmation hearing on Tuesday. Brown, who serves as Air Force chief of staff, was nominated by President Joe Biden to replace Gen. Mark Milley as chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff in May.

Among the more contentious issues raised during Tuesday’s Senate Armed Services Committee hearing was an August 2022 Air Force memo Brown signed, directing the Air Force Academy and Air Education and Training Command to “develop a diversity and inclusion outreach plan” aimed at “achieving a force more representative of our Nation.” When pressed on the memo by Sen. Eric Schmitt, R-Mo., Brown claimed the recruiting targets stratified by race and sex in the memo are based “on application goals, not the make-up of the force,” and that “those numbers are based on the demographics of the nation.”

As The Federalist previously reported, Brown has a documented history of supporting the same so-called “diversity, equity, and inclusion” (DEI) ideology wreaking havoc on the U.S. military. DEI initiatives employ a divisive and poisonous ideology dismissive of merit to discriminate based on characteristics such as skin color and sexual attraction.

While participating in a virtual discussion hosted by the Chicago Council on Global Affairs in November 2020, for instance, Brown indicated that “[a]t the higher level of the Air Force, diversity ha[d] moved to the forefront of personnel decisions such as promotions and hiring.” During the same event, the Air Force general

SCOTUS Has Higher Approval Rating Than Before Dobbs Decision While Trust In Media Plummets

Published

on

Americans’ trust in mass media hit a new low again in Gallup’s annual survey on confidence in the press, while faith in the Supreme Court inched upward.

Gallup reported the results of the group’s latest poll on trust in the news media Monday. The poll found just 31 percent of Americans maintain a “great deal” or a “fair amount” of confidence in newspapers, television networks, and radio to report on events “fully, accurately and fairly.” The number of Americans reporting a “great deal” or “fair amount” of trust in the media has not increased in Gallup’s survey since 2018, when at 45 percent, the press enjoyed its highest level of confidence since 2009.

Today, 36 percent of those surveyed reported no confidence in the media, while 33 percent said their level of trust could be described as “not very much.”

Americans’ opinions of the Supreme Court, on the other hand, have begun to improve following the drop and subsequent plateau in support from 2021 to 2023, when the high bench faced unprecedented attacks from Democrats politicizing controversial decisions.

As of September, 44 percent of Americans approved of the way the Supreme Court is handling its job, according to Gallup. Fifty-one percent, or roughly half, disapprove, representing a 7-point drop from the same month in the previous two years after justices overturned the abortion precedent established by Roe v. Wade with the Dobbs v. Jackson Women’s Health Organization decision.

“The Court currently has a higher approval rating now than before the

Record Voter Turnout Wrecks Democrats’ ‘Jim Crow 2.0’ Lies About Georgia Election Integrity Law

Published

on

“This is Jim Crow in the 21st Century,” President Joe Biden said in 2021.

“These blatantly unconstitutional efforts … are nothing less than Jim Crow 2.0,” failed gubernatorial candidate Stacey Abrams said.

“This is Jim Crow 2.0,” South Carolina Rep. James Clyburn said.

That’s how Democrats described Georgia’s Election Integrity Act of 2021, which expanded voting opportunities and added a requirement for voters to show ID in order to receive an absentee ballot. Their deliberately false and inflammatory rhetoric set off a flurry of criticism from major corporations, activists, and members of the propaganda press.

But the Peach State is once again seeing record-high voter turnout as the state begins its early voting period.

Chief Operating Officer for Georgia’s Secretary of State Office Gabe Sterling reported that more than 328,000 early votes and absentee votes had been cast on the first day of early voting (Tuesday), breaking past records.

In fact, some voters told CNN it was far more “easy” to vote this go around than in past cycles.

“Last time I voted, I voted in the city, and the lines were out the door,” Corine Canada, a black woman, told CNN. “They only had like, maybe like three people working. And so people honestly just started leaving because it was like that. Yeah, like, ‘This is too long. I can’t sit here and wait, I have to go back to work.’ But here, no, it was easy!”

But surely that can’t be true — we were reliably informed

Trump Pledges To Keep Men Out Of Women’s Sports: ‘We’re Not Gonna Let It Happen’

Published

on

Former President Donald Trump pledged on Wednesday to keep trans-identifying men out of women’s sports if elected this November.

The moment came during a Fox News town hall with Georgia women voters moderated by Harris Faulkner, host of “The Faulkner Focus.” Trump was asked by an audience member named Linda about how he would approach the issue of men identifying as women competing in women’s sports leagues. The Georgia resident said she has nine grandchildren, six of whom are girls and play sports.

“We’re not gonna let it happen,” Trump said. “We absolutely stop it. You can’t have it. It’s a man playing in the game [against women].”

The former president noted the biological and physical advantages men have over women. He also cited a recent incident of a male competing against female athletes.

Trump is seemingly referencing a video shared on social media of a San Jose State University volleyball player who goes by the name Blaire Fleming — a trans-identifying male — spiking the ball into the face of his female opponent. According to the New York Post, the video showed San Diego State University junior Keira Herron “was knocked down after the hit, and the crowd audibly gasped.”

Female volleyball players whose teams are scheduled to play San Jose State have forfeited their matches in protest of Fleming being allowed to compete against women. On Monday, the University of Nevada volleyball team revealed to Outkick that it’s joining the volleyball teams of Southern Utah University, Boise
