Daily Verse | Luke 1:66
Everyone who heard this wondered about it, asking, “What then is this child going to be?” For the Lord’s hand was with him.
Wednesday’s Reading: Luke 5-7
Midweek Wednesday and glad you are here.
In what country do you find the regime in charge actively undermining their own armed forces and degrading their ability to make and win wars, essentially making themselves sitting ducks for hostile forces to attack?
At one time, the United States had the most feared military in the world. But, starting under Barack Hussein Obama, our armed forces began a slow decline in readiness and competence. Remember when he replaced nearly 200 generals, colonels and flag officers in the U.S. military over five years with men and women who supported his socialist views in an unprecedented purge?
Here’s where that deliberate destruction has led us (paywall at The Epoch Times).
The U.S. military is at growing risk of not being able to meet the demands of defending America’s vital national interests, according to an annual report released by The Heritage Foundation, a Washington-based conservative think tank.
“This is the logical consequence of years of sustained use, underfunding, poorly defined priorities, wildly shifting security policies, exceedingly poor discipline in program execution, and a profound lack of seriousness across the national security establishment even as threats to U.S. interests have surged,” the report says.
You mean designing flight suits for pregnant women and integrating sexually confused men and women into combat units isn’t in our best interests?
You don’t say.
The report measures each branch of the military’s capability, capacity, and readiness on a scale of: very weak, weak, marginal, strong, and very strong. Here’s what they found for each.
U.S. Army overall score: Marginal (same as last year)
U.S. Navy overall score: Weak (down from Marginal last year)
U.S. Air Force overall score: Very Weak (down from Weak/Marginal last year)
U.S. Marines overall score: Strong (up from Marginal last year)
U.S. Space Force overall score: Weak
The Epoch Times’ story concludes,
Considering the branches together, the U.S. military posture is rated as weak. The report concludes that the current U.S. military force is at significant risk of not being able to meet the demands of a single major regional conflict while also attending to various presence and engagement activities.
Not only is our military woefully unprepared to fight a major conflict, but Dopey Joe has just further drained our Strategic Petroleum Reserve (SPR) to ease gas prices in a bid to lull us all into voting for more of what he and his brand of junta are offering us.
The administration will direct the Energy Department (DOE) to auction the remaining 14 million barrels after President Joe Biden authorized the sale of 180 million barrels of oil in March to bring down gas prices, Reuters reported Tuesday, citing sources familiar with the situation. The White House is desperate to lower the price of gasoline due to concern that high prices could weaken the Democrats’ chances of winning key congressional and gubernatorial races on Nov. 8.
The SPR is at its lowest level since 1984.
Norms restored!
Even evil empires have strong militaries and are ready to defend themselves from their enemies. Not us. The goal of the libs and #NeverTrump is to destroy the United States as founded while preserving their elite grifting status.
Soon we’ll all be speaking Chinese and chairman Xi Jinping will eliminate progressive virtue signaling—permanently. But, at least there won’t be any mean tweets!
