The Military’s 2024 Recruiting Numbers Aren’t The Win Its Leadership Wants You To Believe They Are

Published

on

U.S. military leadership is jubilant the service hit its recruiting goals this year after experiencing a significant slump in the number of new candidates signing up to join. But beneath the surface of this “win” is a troubling reality that could jeopardize the readiness of America’s supreme fighting force.

With the 2024 fiscal year coming to a close, heads of America’s military branches have been quick to tout their supposed success in hitting their respective recruiting targets. Throughout the past several weeks, the Army, Marines, Air Force, and Space Force revealed they all (barely) met their yearly goals for bringing in new talent to the service.

While the Navy signed up more recruits than it was targeting, it “will fall about 5,000 short” of its FY2024 goal because “it won’t be able to get them all through boot camp by next month,” according to Sept. 26 report by The Washington Post.

Despite the military’s perceived success in bringing in ample talent to fill its ranks, a closer look at what the branches did to achieve their respective goals reveals a startling decline in standards necessary to qualify for service and other alarming policy changes.

In 2022, for example, the Army axed a branch policy requiring interested recruits to possess a high school diploma or GED certificate to join the service. That change was announced the same week the Army “relaxed its tattoo rules, allowing potential recruits to enlist with tattoos on their hands and neck, which previously

Sister Of Deceased Soldier Blasts The Atlantic For Latest Anti-Trump Fabrications

Published

on

Jeffrey Goldberg, editor-in-chief of far-left propaganda outlet The Atlantic, published an article Tuesday with glaring fabrications about former President Donald Trump’s interactions with the families of fallen service members and his outlook on military leadership.

Goldberg’s dishonest hit piece is the latest in a long line of far-left outlets lying and deceiving the American people before a major election.

Mayra Guillén, the sister of fallen soldier Vanessa Guillén, whose family was featured as proof in Goldberg’s piece, slammed the outlet and Goldberg for exploiting her sister’s death.

“Wow. I don’t appreciate how you are exploiting my sister’s death for politics — hurtful & disrespectful to the important changes she made for service members,” Mayra stated. “President Donald Trump did nothing but show respect to my family & Vanessa. In fact, I voted for President Trump today.”

Mayra’s comments come after Goldberg claimed that Trump displayed “contempt, rage, parsimony, racism” at the thought of helping the Guillén family pay for Vanessa’s funeral. Vanessa was bludgeoned to death by another soldier at Fort Hood, Texas, and her family was invited to the Oval Office to meet with Trump. Her death was also the impetus for military reforms for women at bases at the state and federal levels.

According to Goldberg’s article, upon hearing that the funeral cost $60,000, Trump said, “It doesn’t cost 60,000 bucks to bury a f-cking Mexican!” and told Mark Meadows, his chief of staff at the time, “Don’t pay it!” The Guillén family is of Mexican origin.

Biden Calls For More Political Persecution Of Trump: ‘We Got To Lock Him Up’

Published

on

While President Joe Biden may not have much juice left in the cognition battery, he’s got enough spark remaining to deliver the real marching orders of the Democrat Party and the deep state: Lock up Donald Trump. 

Speaking Tuesday at a New Hampshire Democrat campaign office just two weeks before Election Day, Biden mumbled through a number of scenarios the left has been peddling about what they say can be expected should voters send former President Trump back to the White House. 

Biden warned his fellow Democrats about Trump’s pledge to “ultimately eliminate” the DEI-pushing federal Department of Education. He then seemed to ramble about Trump’s plan to deal with the deep state and send rogue bureaucrats packing before launching into a nearly incoherent tirade in which he suggested the Supreme Court’s ruling this summer on broad presidential immunity for official acts would enable Trump to murder people.

“He means it. This is not a joke,” the octogenarian president told fellow Democrats at the Concord office. “This is a guy who also wants to replace every civil servant, every single one. Thinks he has a right under the Supreme Court ruling on immunity to be able if need be, if it was the case, to actually eliminate, physically eliminate, shoot and kill, someone who he believes to be a threat to him.”

It was an interesting comment about a former president who was shot and survived one near-miss assassination attempt on the campaign trail in July and escaped a second attempt

Kamala Harris Wants To Force Christian Hospitals To Perform Abortions Against Their Will

Published

on

On Tuesday, Kamala Harris voiced opposition to providing religious exemptions in any federal legislation legalizing abortion nationwide in the event that such legislation is brought to her desk as president.

The moment came during the vice president’s sit-down interview with NBC News’ Hallie Jackson. The network anchor asked Harris how she would advance baby-killing legislation at the federal level if elected president and Republicans control both chambers of Congress. Jackson also asked if she would be willing to make any “concessions” to get any prospective bill to her desk.

Instead of answering the question, the Democrat presidential nominee pivoted to attacking President Donald Trump for appointing three U.S. Supreme Court justices who voted to overturn Roe v. Wade. She also falsely characterized the murder of unborn children as an issue of “freedom.”

“I know that there are members of the United States Congress who are well aware that their constituents are in favor of the very fundamental principle that a woman should be able to make decisions about her own body and not have her government tell her what to do,” Harris said while ignoring how abortion denies the unborn children the ability to “make decisions” about their bodies.

Jackson followed up by again asking Harris what “concessions” she’d be willing to make with a Republican-controlled Congress. The NBC host specifically queried if “religious exemptions” were “something [Harris] would consider.”

“I don’t think we should be making concessions when we’re talking about a fundamental freedom to make decisions about
