New in PJ Media:
In the ongoing devolution of our once-proud nation into a banana republic where unctuous and unscrupulous “public servants” use the full weight of the state apparatus to persecute their political opponents and call this persecution a campaign against corruption, the U.S. Army has suspended a three-star general from his job advising senior military officers. His crime? Poking gentle fun at that most sacred of sacred cows, Jill Biden, uh, check that, I meant “DOCTOR” Jill Biden; please don’t kick in my front door at four in the morning.
Lt. Gen. Gary Volesky once served as the Army’s chief spokesman. He won a reputation for valor; according to USA Today, Gen. Volesky was a “recipient of the Silver Star for gallantry in Iraq.” Although he is now retired from the Army, he remained connected to the military, serving as a “senior mentor,” which involved “advising senior military officers, staff and students participating in war games and other military activities.”
But now Volesky is no longer working at this $92-an-hour job and is the subject of a military investigation, for he had the temerity to mock she who is not to be mocked, Dr. Biden herself. USA Today noted that Lt. Gen. Theodore Martin, “commander of the Combined Arms Center, suspended Volesky pending the outcome of the inquiry,” but given the circumstances, it is unlikely in the extreme that Volesky will be returning to his job anytime soon. He has crossed a line that must never be crossed.
It all started on June 24, when Jill Biden — sorry, Dr. Jill Biden — tweeted: “For nearly 50 years, women have had the right to make our own decisions about our bodies. Today, that right was stolen from us. And while we may be devastated by this injustice, we will not be silent. We will not sit back as the progress we have already won slips away. Tomorrow, we will continue to fight — for our daughters and granddaughters, and for ourselves — until all women can decide our own futures once again.”
Volesky read this pious Leftist flummery, which repeated for the ten millionth time the false, anti-science claim that abortion involves the mother’s body only, and couldn’t resist a bit of fun at the expense of this absurd posturing. In a tweet that has since been taken down, he wrote: “Glad to see you finally know what a woman is.”
Citing unnamed “experts,” USA Today explained that “his response represents a breach of decorum for a retired military officer and a foray into partisan politics by an official on the payroll of the Pentagon, which is supposed to steer clear of such matters.”
There is more. Read the rest here.

Bit by bit America is going down down down.
Trump 2024 or it will be gone forever.
mortimer says
Gary Volesky is RETIRED, but that doesn’t stop them from trying to silence him. This may actually give him a wider audience and may BACKFIRE ON HIM.
This Biden administration is obviously corrupt and it has its sights set on the FIRST AMENDMENT which guarantees the freedom of speech.
Gary Volesky will now be heard around the world. I look forward to hearing in TV and radio interviews what Lt. Col. Volesky (ret’d) will say from his viewpoint.
Jodi Lindley says
Lolz he hit the nail on the head.
Wat is a so called lady of the white house doing applauding abortion.whos body is been sucked up a tube👿💩
mortimer says
I thought the First Lady is supposed to STAY OUT OF POLITICS and leave politics to the PRESIDENT !
‘Dr’ Jill stepped right out of line by trying to make policy herself.
Perhaps she is actually telling Old Joe what to think as many people are now suggesting.
wpm says
“Doctor” Jill Biden should be reminded she is nether an elected official representing the American people and she is not a supreme court judge. She is also not a medical doctor and a private citizen who can have an opinion like the retired General .Yes the General made a very mild tweet against her opinion if she is always defending her demented dangerous President actions you would think she would have grown a thicker skin by now with public opinion about her tweets. If she wishing no responds from her tweets maybe she should keep her opinion to herself.. While we have mobs following the current Supreme court judges to their private homes threating their families ,harassing them in restaurants with threats to the employees and other dinners maybe she give her opinion on their actions? With vandalism to crisis health centers that try to provide services besides abortions to fearful young pregnant women maybe she could be asked about that and give her opinion ?
wpm says
If you step up to the new public soap box tweeter expect some heat you can ask the former President Trump about that before the brown shirts that currently run that soap box shut him down. I hope Musk bankrupts them when he drops his bid to buy them.
PRCS says
More than anyone else could have (that “entitled c*nt’ per Hunter) knew Joey Baby wasn’t up to the job.
She could have prevented the catastrophe his presidency has inflicted upon us.
wpm says
True all she cared about was being first lady it seems running cover for her crime family while her husband wanders around aimlessly and gaffes the American President position into the laughing stock of the world..Can someone name one thing Biden has done right in the last 19 months? Can some point out anyone appointed to a position of power in his administration that is not a dangerous clown?
James Lincoln says
wpm says,
“Can someone name one thing Biden has done right in the last 19 months?”
Well, let me see… There’s got to be something…
Let me research it…(sarc off)
mortimer says
To JL : ha, ha … very good.
somehistory says
he tried to have an anti-abortion, pro-life judge seated in a high court somewhere.
I believe that is as close as he has come to being right.
Infidel says
Anybody recall the number of times people mocked Melania Trump?
Keith O says
Lost count and nobody lost their jobs over it!
If it was Killary who was being criticized, they would have lost their lives.
gravenimage says
Spot on, Infidel.
somehistory says
It’s a double standard and they are loud and proud of it. A person should be able to say anything…except a threat…even if he is a retired general talking about the president or his wife or whatever. the Founders never envisioned that citizens would be punished by the government for criticizing the government…or companions of a government official. This was wrong and unfair. He should do some more , now that he cannot be fired….again.
Wellington says
The Left can dish it out but can’t take it. One of many double standards it is guilty of.
somehistory says
They are all out in force, yelling, threatening about what “women have gained” and that it “will not be taken away.”
Well, to a certain extent, that ‘gain”….which was not a gain at all…has been taken. No longer a federal protection to hire a hitman to murder the unborn.
something else….where is thomas, the swimmer, and the fake blond creep in the health and “human” services, the male pretender, in all of these arguments for how “far women have come.”?
Women and girls fought for their *own* everything…teams, locker rooms, awards, etc. and thomas and the creep with the hideous face and ugly *blond* hair just waltzed in and “took it all away.”
But, murdering babies….tearing off legs, arms, body and then crushing the little head…oh, so much more important to these ghouls who dare refer to themselves as “women.”
somehistory says
They can flex their muscles, and fire the general. But, they can’t undo the truth of what he said.
And what good is a “doctorate” degree when the meaning behind such is ignored? She’s about as much use as a potato without any eyes, and too shriveled to cook.
James Lincoln says
According to the feature article, Lt. Gen. Gary Volesky’s response represents a:
“foray into partisan politics by an official on the payroll of the Pentagon”
Would the same thing have happened if he would have tweeted:
“I agree with Jill Biden, who is a wonderful woman!”
somehistory says
No; if he had said something positive, he would have been rewarded…maybe a raise to a hundred an hour. I think he should just mock her some more…after all, what else can they do now that he no longer has a job?
We were all meant to be able to mock or criticize those in government as long as we didn’t make threats against their lives. And she’s not even part of the government. she’s mockable.
mortimer says
The general was a little out of line. He should not have written this. Saying it to his close friends probably wouldn’t have got this overreaction. Loyalty to the president’s wife is not required in an officer, but to the president only. However, many will assume he dislikes the president as well.
Joe and Jill should both be excommunicated for their very outspoken campaigning for full-term abortion on demand.
It is a scandal that their church has not done so.
