New in PJ Media:
It seems as if every day lately there is another reason to break out the champagne in Moscow and Beijing, and Saturday was no exception: it was the day of Joint Base Langley-Eustis (JBLE)’s first “Diversity, Equity and Inclusion Summer Festival,” featuring (what else), a drag show. What does all this woke nonsense have to do with winning wars? Oh, never mind that; that’s the old, white supremacist military! The new diverse military has other priorities altogether.
The festival, according to the Daily Wire, will feature “a series of performances and speeches, including a poem on ‘Diversity, Equity and Inclusion’ and a drag show by Joshua Kelley, who performs under the moniker Harpy Daniels.”
This isn’t some outsider, non-military-grade drag show, either. Harpy Daniels is actually a yeoman 3rd class in the United States Navy, and you can just imagine how proud John Paul Jones and Chester Nimitz would be if they saw young Harpy in action. He actually joined the Navy in order to finance his drag career. Back in the bad old days, young men joined the Navy out of a sense of patriotism (and no doubt a desire for adventure), but for Harpy it’s just a means to an end: “With drag being my number one passion,” Yeoman Harpy explained, “it quickly became costly. On top of just struggling to make ends meet and then pay college loans, the Navy became a great option to get myself situated in life.“
They’re going to get a bravura performance at JBLE, because Harpy gives it his or her or xis all: “Doing drag allows me to embrace my feminine side and allows me to bring my diversity and creativity out. When I put on a face, it’s a face of art and creativity, not just a face of make-up. To hear people cheer, laugh or cry, or even join in with you during a performance is an absolute thrill.”
Those straights and dweebs over at the Daily Wire note primly that Harpy’s “professional Instagram page features dozens of photos of him in drag, many of them heavily sexualized. Some of the photos show Kelley nude, though the photos themselves appear to not violate Instagram’s nudity policies.” My fellow Americans, this is your United States Navy!
The Diversity, Equity and Inclusion Summer Festival was the brainchild of the JBLE Breaking Barriers Alliance, a committee in the base’s Office of Diversity and Inclusion. How much attention JBLE’s Office of Diversity and Inclusion, or its JBLE Breaking Barriers Alliance, devotes to actual efforts to defend the United States from military threats was not disclosed.
There is more. Read the rest here.

Is xis or xer the correct pronoun for Harpy or could it be xits?

“Iran says it will ‘build nuclear warheads’ and turn NY into ‘hellish ruins’’

If it’s some other country, perhaps the soldiers and sailors from that regime could be asked to join in the fun and forget about waging war.

They already have enough refined u235 for a bomb. At 45% u235 it takes a volleyball-size mass to make a low-yield bomb, which might not work. At 93% it takes an apple-size ball that can be detonated by Iran’s current expertise in shaped charges. Iran would already have enough 90% u235 already for one bomb and their 60% stockpile, when enriched, could make at least 9 bombs.
Iran has all the ingredients of a bomb. They are simply running out the clock to get a few useable devices. Perhaps the more important questions concern delivery systems, damage to Islam’s holy sites, and Iran’s willingness to kill “Palestinians” as collateral damage while bombing Israel.
This warning noise about bombing NYC is a result of genuine Iranian fear that Israel will move first. Iran’s dictators think(hope) the US will muzzel Israel. For Israel, the Mullah’s intention to erase Israel is a survival issue and if the US makes no effective moves to stop the bomb construction and development of delivery methods, it must act.

Gov. DeSantis is going after the drags…dregs of society… in Florida, for *performing* in front of the little kids. Using a Court ruling from 1947 Hurray for him. Hurray for the kids having someone fight for them.

I realised, as I was reading this that all I could do was shake my head.
The former US is screwed!

Anyone think the “diverse” army, “at a later time”, will be more effective?

Priorities: U.S. Military Base Is Hosting a Drag Show
…………………….
Just nuts.
James Lincoln says
If petty officer Joshua Kelley had been participating in a drag queen show at a private club – off base – not sanctioned by the U.S. Navy, that would have been a different matter.
But for the Navy to sanction this stuff – on base – is absolutely despicable.
john smith says
Totally agree James
James Lincoln says
Thanks for your reply, john.

No wonder recruitment of young MEN into our military is down. Our military is sick and our enemies know it. Not a good sign for America. As a veteran I’am ashamed of ur military and political leaders who are allowing this to happen within the services. It’s no wonder why China and Russia are so emboldened around the world, they see our military and political leaders as weak.
