Op-ed: 
Our 'Woke' Military...Priming For Loss  
By: Diane Sori / The Patriot Factor / Right Side Patriots / Right Side Patriots Radio
The Op-ed posted here is this authors opinion alone,and does not necessarily represent the views of blogspot.com or Google. 

Since the steal in 2020, Joe Biden and his joke of an  administration have proven themselves to be dismal and abject failure on all fronts. From his total sum of economic policies; to the border fiasco; to crime running rampant in numerous American cities; to our now weakened foreign policy stances including Biden basically turning America's back on our ally Israel; all coupled with the “green energy” nonsense constantly being shoved down our collective throats; the list is not only endless but it's growing by the day.

Not a damn thing right has Joe Biden done for this country or for “We the People” since assuming office but, in my opinion, probably the most grievous and dangerous of all Biden's actions by the scope of its very nature, was his basically forcing social conformity within our military courtesy of the nonsense known as “wokeismism.” In more direct words, America's military must now accept, cater to, and embrace the entirety of the far left's social ideology known as “being woke,” as in what are weaponized personal grievances masquerading as a supposed genuine social issue.

And Joe Biden did so by checking off all the socially mandated boxes, never mind the fact that this not only puts our nation's national security at risk, but that he has actually endangered not just the lives of each and every American citizen but our active military members as well. And what's even worse is that this fool still dancing on Obama's puppet pulled strings simply does not care that he did, leaving me to wonder just what his beloved now gone, ex-Army officer son Beau would think of this particular action given that his dad is currently Commander-in-Chief.

So now with time being of the essence...what with the war weary state of the world itself coming into play...we must have the courage to reclaim what was the “greatest fighting force the world has ever known”* ...that is if we want to retain our number one position as the world's leading “super power.” And in these dangerous times said position is more important than most people think, which means that the entirety of Biden's forced “woke” nonsense must be removed from our military protocol before both he and said nonsense can cause anymore harm, both here at home and abroad, than it already has.

The United States military must never become a social ideological battleground for to do so directly threatens not only our national security but it helps to undermine the founding principles of our Constitution while also negating our military's long held principal belief that it's America's traditional values that helps to promote and spread unity, cohesion, and equality amongst all of our service members. And also, not to be forgotten, is the fact that it's not just the Biden administration itself that's pushing these policies onto the sum of the six branches that comprise our U.S. Armed Forces,** but that it's also what's now being called a developing “military woke complex.” And just what is said “complex” but a leftist group of nonprofits...some very well-funded with others continuing to operate under the radar...who are pushing the “woke” nonsense on our military as well. And what really should not come as a surprise to anyone is that it's the likes of George Soros, the Tides Foundation, and the Ford Foundation who are the main ones bankrolling said “military woke complex.”

The United States military surely does not need these anti-American, leftist sorts watering down their prime directive, which clearly is “to support and defend the Constitution of the United States against all enemies, foreign or domestic, and to maintain, by timely and effective military action, the security of the United States, its possessions and areas vital to its interest.”

Remember, the ultimate goal of our fighting forces must remain to be the victor in any wars we are part and party to while not having to worry about upsetting the sensibilities of some who, while they might check off the now socially mandated boxes, are in reality both psychologically and physically unprepared for war nor do they understand let alone care about what is their prime directive. 

And while some claim that those who embrace “wokeism” are an integral and important part of American society... which I personally believe they're not...those willing to accept “wokism” as a normal part of society, including in our military, have forgotten that our military must remain comprised of only those who not only have the physical strength and mental stamina to defend our country in times of war, but who are also of the mindset to know when something is right for our country and our American way of life, and when something is not only morally wrong but an actual danger to the very fabric of American society as well.

“Wokeism” in all its guises remains a “distraction” and an overall danger to our country, most especially to our military which has seen since “woke” policies were initiated their all-important enlisting numbers going way down. So before Biden even has a chance to again put his pen to yet another disastrous EO paper, one needs to understand that because of Joe Biden we, the world's still number one “superpower”...but for long... now sees the world at large slowly turning away from not just American leadership, but from American values, rule of law, and our societal structure as well. And when our military becomes rife with those who seem to embrace anti-American rhetoric and socially damaging values, what we become is a nation that has not only lost its way, but a nation whose military can no longer be counted on by both friends and allies alike, let alone defend our nation against internal and external threats nor assure the safety of our citizens.

Simply, contrary to “woke” ideology it really is, militarily wise, all about tangible strength...both physical and mental strength...especially in today's highly volatile world, thus giving even more credence to the fact that “wokism” must be purged from our military's discourse. Why so...because for a nation to be recognized and respected as having the world's strongest and most respected military force, adhering and catering to social issues does indeed get in the way of brute strength. And brute strength encompasses the fact that a given nation must physically control both the air and the sea, and not find itself being bogged down in ever frivolous and so unimportant “woke” nonsense.

And while our United States combined naval forces...which includes our Marine Corps...still controls the seas as per the March 2024 edition of “The World Directory of Military Modern Warships” (WDMMW)*...that does not negate the fact that “wokeism” mandates have surely intruded upon how our navy functions.

How so? While the U.S. still rates number one with a fleet of over 400 ships and submarines, as well as over 3,000 naval aircraft, and when coupled with our amphibious warfare force known as the Marine Corps, you'd think we'd have a solid lock on being the world's number one “superpower,” but how wrong you'd be. And why so...because in position number two is China's “People’s Liberation Army Navy” (PLAN) which actually encompasses within it the largest navy in the world by the total number of its combined ships and physical manpower...as in its actual body count numbers. 

And while China is working to expand its current fleet... while also being the second largest navy in terms of tonnage...it's body count numbers are increasing along with it while our naval numbers are decreasing thanks to our Navy being forced to deal with“woke” nonsense. Also not to be forgotten is that the Russian Navy in the number three position...while low in its number of naval aircraft still does have an impressive fleet of over 600 ships and submarines...is also gaining in naval strength and manpower while again, our naval recruitment numbers are sadly decreasing.

And so both China and Russia ...countries that don't like us very much...remain a little too close for comfort regarding air and sea superiority, leaving one not to forget that if, for whatever reason, China and Russia were to actually join forces together that they could well cripple both our Navy and Air Force to a point from which we might militarily not be able to recover from in the foreseeable future. And “wokeism” would be to blame for the very nature of “wokeism” itself places much needed military necessities behind social ideologies in its “to do” list of importance.

Now as for who controls the air, that honor still goes to these United States, but has a caveat attached to it...a caveat called Afghanistan and our disastrous pullout thereof. Simply, our Air Force could have very easily rendered the Taliban militarily impotent, but our current joke of a president instead had our military tuck its tail between their legs and high tail it out of there. And he did so not because it was the right thing to do...in my opinion it assuredly was not...but because Afghanistan had become a political liability for Joe Biden, his administration, and his “woke” military agenda. How so...because how dare our military show strength instead of fighting for the hearts and minds of the enemy...Obama style if you will.

And this one military action alone has not only put a humiliating shadow of possible defeat over our combined naval and air forces, but it also helped to set the stage for the disaster that is Ukraine and the backstabbing, flip-flop actions this administration has shown to our ally Israel. Remember, our now “woke,” military coupled with our “woke” political leaders are dead set against our military fighting in any “boots on the ground” style of war...the very thing our U.S. Army excels in especially when they don't have their hands tied behind their backs. Instead we now find our leaders hiding behind the skirts of once military men now pretending to be women.

And in this discourse we dare not forget “Space Force,” America's newest military branch...thank you President Trump...a branch more important than most think for the fact remains that the nation who controls space controls the world and thankfully, as of now, we alone have such a military branch. But while the Biden administration wants “Space Force” to be more like a weaker version of a state run militia than an actual military force that would be used to protect U.S. and allied interests in space and provide space capabilities to our joint forces....we could actually lose our current space superiority as both Russia and China find themselves in a growing space “arms race” with our now militarily“woke” U.S armed forces...a scenario that by default alone might not end well.

And lastly, to add insult to what has become a military incurred “woke” injury, Biden and crew while not happy about seeing funding being diverted away from “illegals” to a bill that would automatically register men ages 18-26 in the “Selective Service System,”*** leaves one to wonder just how many “transgender/woke” individuals would actually be called up for military service if the need did so arise. Not too many I would guess for the last thing our military would need to be distracted by in a time of war is being forced to train and deploy individuals to fight who don't even know what sex they really are. And to that I say, case closed.

It's All About Timing
By: Diane Sori / The Patriot Factor / Right Side Patriots / Right Side Patriots Radio 
The Op-ed posted here is my opinion alone, and does not necessarily represent the views of blogspot.com

...However, other important issues must also be dealt with, but there's no need to wait for 2024 to do so as they can be dealt with now. And here I speak of a much needed referendum on the social and moral issues dividing our country today. And this includes the forced indoctrination of America's school children; the entirety of the “pronoun“ generated game of sexual “pretending“... aka “transgenderism”...as well as the will not go away issue of abortion.

So here let's start with the issue of abortion which does see its discourse, at times, morphing into overt acts of violence. Abortion, the very word drives passions ever forward, thus making the need for an open discussion not only imperative, but said discussion must extend beyond the ideological biblical constraints of the religious vs. the nonreligious views as to when human life does begin and end. Simple answers are being overlooked in the name of enacting a leftist political agenda...an agenda where scientific facts vs. the “it's my body to do as I wish” crowd...a crowd who continues trying to mold to their liking the question as to when abortion should be allowed and when, if ever, it should be deemed “murder.” Read entire article here.

Op-ed: 
It's All About Timing
By: Diane Sori / The Patriot Factor / Right Side Patriots / Right Side Patriots Radio 
The Op-ed posted here is my opinion alone, and does not necessarily represent the views of blogspot.com

As we move forward into the 2024 election season two key issues remain in the forefront of most people's minds...the economy and the free-for-all disaster that is our southern border. But what many don't understand is that those two issues would start to resolve themselves on day one of a new Republican administration if we simply vote the Democrats out. With Democrats no longer controlling the reins of power normalcy would begin to return on the economic front as “Made in America” and “Buy American” will again dominate the economic discourse, and the much demanded wall would finally get built.

A Republican president, whether it be Donald Trump or my choice Florida Governor Ron DeSantis, will see that both issues are attended to. But why, for me, DeSantis over Trump...because not only does Florida have a budget surplus thanks to our governor's economic policies, but because DeSantis has a workable “day one” plan involving sending “active duty” military to the border to help in shutting down not only the overwhelmed points of entry, but drug smuggling operations as well...issues that should have been dealt with years ago.

And the reason I do not include former UN ambassador and South Carolina Governor Nikki Haley here...whom I think would be a great VP choice for either man...is because after the unmitigated disgrace that is Kamala Harris I do not believe America is truly ready for a woman president...in time yes...just not in 2024.

Simply, thanks to the ineptitude that is the hallmark of Joe Biden's presidency, the economy rightfully remains the biggest concern for most Americans with its ramifications filtering down to “We the People” on a daily basis. Been to a grocery store lately or filled up your car with a tank of gas...no need to say anything more. And of course the “invasion” at our southern border has a direct impact on how and on whom our taxpayer dollars are spent. And again, these two issues could right themselves if we take back not only the White House but also the Senate, and not lose our tenuous hold on America's “purse strings”...aka the House.

And speaking of “purse strings”...we must now close the “purse” on the seemingly unending flow of monies going to Ukraine, while at the same time not losing sight of the fact that if Ukraine does fall Putin will start to advance on Europe. Likely starting with Poland and moving onward to the other former Soviet satellite nations, the monies that we've currently sent to Ukraine vs. what would be monies saved results in a difficult choice that has to be carefully weighed, because Ukrainians are fighting in the name of freedom...something we as a freedom loving nation must never lose sight of nor turn our back on.

Simply, the economy and Biden's what amounts to an “open border policy” must remain the key issues in people's minds when casting their 2024 vote...especially knowing that the Democrats need a steady stream of new “brown” folks to help restock their somewhat dwindling numbers after having thrown black Americans under the proverbial bus. 

However, other important issues must also be dealt with, but there's no need to wait for 2024 to do so as they can be dealt with now. And here I speak of a much needed referendum on the social and moral issues dividing our country today. And this includes the forced indoctrination of America's school children; the entirety of the “pronoun“ generated game of sexual “pretending“...aka “transgenderism”...as well as the will not go away issue of abortion.

So here let's start with the issue of abortion which does see its discourse, at times, morphing into overt acts of violence. Abortion, the very word drives passions ever forward, thus making the need for an open discussion not only imperative, but said discussion must extend beyond the ideological biblical constraints of the religious vs. the nonreligious views as to when human life does begin and end. Simple answers are being overlooked in the name of enacting a leftist political agenda...an agenda where scientific facts vs. the “it's my body to do as I wish” crowd...a crowd who continues trying to mold to their liking the question as to when abortion should be allowed and when, if ever, it should be deemed “murder.”

Enter the “Heartbeat Law”...a law that leaves it up to each individual state as to the time frame in which a woman can legally “abort” the child she's carrying. And while some states deem abortion to be legal only up to six weeks gestation, other states deem eight to 12 weeks as their cut off point, with a few states deeming abortion a woman's right, right up to the moment of birth...with some allowing abortion even after a “live birth” if done within a given time frame. In this case, I believe, it's “premeditated murder” in no uncertain terms.

Now let me state two obvious facts that are often overlooked regarding abortion, facts that might help put the issue of abortion to rest or at least not make it a deciding factor in how one votes in 2024. Fact one: a human life ends when there is no longer a beating heart, therefore a human life begins when the developing embryo's heart starts to beat. Fact two: conception itself is not life per se, but is the precursor to what may or may not become a human life. Remember, without a functioning heart there is no life for no human being can live without a beating heart.

And with the human heart, even in its most rudimentary stage, not starting to beat until around six weeks gestation, the “Heartbeat Law” with its six week abortion cutoff date actually makes sense for abortion up to that stage is not murder per se for no actual life is being aborted. However, by six weeks gestation the rudimentary heart does start to beat or “flutter” as some call it, and by eight to 12 weeks the baby's heart is indeed fully beating meaning it's alive and growing and should be given every chance to be born. And here, I believe, the only exceptions should be in cases of rape, incest, the life of the mother, or if the growing fetus is so medically compromised that it cannot survive after birth.

Bottom line...in my opinion...abortion must never be used as a means of birth control nor should it be an easy fix for mistakes easily avoided...that's what readily available contraceptives are for. Remove abortion from the political discourse via the six-week “Heartbeat Law,” and some of the wind driving the Democrats social issues sail will be no more. And with the issue of abortion slowly being returned to the states...as per the Supreme Court...official abortion cut off dates for each state should be based upon science facts not upon any one religion's tenets or dogma. But with taxpayer funded abortions still taking place, in an abstract way each and every one of us is helping to end a human life whether we are pro-life or not...scary and worrisome indeed.

Now in regards to another social/moral issue that must be dealt with post haste is the issue of “transgenderism”..a “game of pretending” taken to a whole new level. No longer just the misplaced belief that a male can become a female and a female a male, this anything but a game now involves, in some cases, the physical mutilation of school age children and even children as young as three years of age...children “indoctrinated” either by their parents or by their teachers into believing they're someone they are not.

And if truth be told “transgenderism” was born out of a political need to cater to folks who consider themselves to be “different” from the sexual norm they were born into. And so the Democrat party, who with their acceptance of this nonsense, saw said acceptance as being but a way to garner more votes, now spews out the word “inclusion” to help promote the taking of cross-gender hormones and the anything but “sex-reassigning” surgery.

And in this case it's “inclusion” based not upon medical facts but solely upon an individual's “feelings” that they're not really the sex they were born into, and who now want to live, act, and be accepted as the sex of their choosing. But the problem here is that these folks and their supporters are demanding that everyone else must accept and play along with their new, albeit faux identity, and must also when addressing said person use the correct “pronoun” that correlates with who they are “pretending” to be. And this is never mind that both scientific and medical facts alone prove ones real sexual identity.

So in the name of politics the trans-person's “pronoun” driven identity crisis...aka their “feelings”... must now be allowed to override common sense, logic, and the scientific fact that ones biological sex cannot be changed for ones sex is determined not by bodily appearance per se, but by one's DNA...as in a person's genetic code. Simply, ones genetic code cannot be changed no matter the amount of hormones taken nor what said person might have cut off or added on when going under the knife for what is genetically impossible “sex-reassigning surgery.”

Bottom line, in my opinion, what is now called “gender dysphoria” is simply a game of “pretending”... a game all must play along with for to do otherwise might cause the trans-person's feelings to be hurt. But instead of catering to these individuals...instead of a morally “unacceptable” behavior being deemed “acceptable”...maybe the focus should be on getting help for those who, in reality, are suffering from a mental disorder...a disorder based solely upon unrealistic “feelings." And this is most telling when the fact remains that most who identify as “transgender” keep their birth assigned male or female anatomical features. This alone dictates that psychiatric intervention is needed to help these folks deal with said unrealistic “feelings.”

And the last social/moral issue that needs to be dealt with involves the ongoing “woke” indoctrination of America's school age children. Remember when school was about learning...about reading, writing, math, science, and history...but that's no more thanks to the left now holding the majority of school board positions. So now our children are being taught by teachers more concerned about being “politically correct, woke, and inclusive” as they openly force young children to not only accept the “pronoun” nonsense, but to believe that hes can become shes, and that shes can become hes.

Simply, what's happening in America's schools today is the forced “sexualization of children,” and parents are supposed to accept that as being America's new norm... no questions asked...no answers given. To that I say “no way” for this act of indoctrination has directly led not only to America's moral decline but to her educational decline as well. And our children's lowered test scores in reading, math, and science prove just that.

And what's even sadder is that parents who do fight back...especially when doing so at school board meetings...are deemed “domestic terrorists” by the left and at times by the media as well. And it's because they've forgotten unspoken liberal rule number one that as long as Democrats are in power parents alone should not be raising their children...the government should be helping. 

Sadly, many of America's public and even some private schools...including colleges and universities...continue to be indoctrination centers grooming the next generation of blind following “sheeple” into accepting the liberal mindset of “anything goes,” and where moral and social debauchery must be accepted as the new “normal” with curriculum adjusted accordingly.

And if that doesn't scare you I don't know what will, but then again most forget that America's downfall on almost all fronts started when a previously unknown “community organizer” named Barack Hussein Obama became president, and who in just eight years laid down the time frame by which America would fall...morally, socially, economically, militarily, and in the eyes of the world.

And that time is now with 2024 being our last chance to turn this “American nightmare” around. And we can start by dealing with the social and moral issues now and leave the focus on what we cannot change...as in the economy and border fiasco...while Biden/Obama are still in power. So vote wisely my friends, especially in the primaries, for our beloved American can no longer afford a Democrat disaster being replaced by a corresponding Republican one...case closed.
