A good piece from The Hill on the UAP / UFO whistleblower situation claiming a dozen recovered craft of non-human origin. The whole thing seems uniquely credible.

Or those who want a thorough rollback of the creeping authoritarianism our civilization is being subjected to? "

Here's a shocker: as Sam Skove reports, Army recruits are waaay more concerned about dying in combat than they are the Army being “woke.”
Army officially designates Fort Moore, dropping Confederate name Benning
Fort Pickett in Virginia became Fort Barfoot in March. Fort Hood, Texas, was renamed Fort Cavazos on Tuesday. Fort Bragg in North Carolina will be redesignated Fort Liberty next month. Later this year in Georgia, Fort Gordon outside Augusta will be renamed Fort Eisenhower.
Good riddance to a terrible mistake: traitor appeasement!

Ban Fox News disinformation and Putin's agenda in #DOD facilities -- it's not the only channel working for enemies. You can find Newsmax and OANN on the cable subscriptions DOD pays for. But they can all be blocked. Even local commanders could institute such a policy. It just takes a modicum of guts and principles.

In case you missed #Alabama Senator and epic fuckwit Tommy #Tubberville advocating for #AmericanNazis to be in the #military:
Q: You mentioned the Biden administration trying to prevent white nationalists from being in the military. Do you believe they should allow white nationalists in the military?
A:*Well, they call them that. I call them Americans.* What happened after January the sixth—and I was here on January the sixth—we were attacked on the Senate floor. Saying all these people that came into the Capitol were extremists, they were against the country. There was a lot of people. There were probably a hundred of them that came in, broke windows and broke doors that should have been locked up. That’s not how we do it in America. But there were hundreds of thousands that didn’t come in, outside, that were true Americans that believe in this country [* Note 4].

Big tip o' the hat to Elon Musk's Hair Plugs
(@m4rk0_p0L0) for alerting me to the fact that US state and local governments collectively spend more on policing than most countries do on their militaries! 😳
It's both alarming and shameful, especially when you consider that...
______________________________
US police are militarized by policy, trained to treat the public as a threat, and kill people in far greater numbers than their foreign counterparts. The declared enemy of American police forces is the American people, and their war on us claims about 1000 lives a year.
