Free Speech?

On Sunday, Townhall reported that the firefighters who booed New York Attorney General Letitia James at a promotion ceremony recently will face consequences for their actions.

The article reports:

However, in the classes Democrat-led state of New York, those firefighters are facing consequences for their outbursts toward the woman who will do anything in her power to take former President Trump down. 

“Trump, Trump, Trump, Trump,” the crowd of firefighters shouted at James, while many booed. 

“Oh, come on. We’re in a house of God. First, Uhm, simmer down,” James said, attempting to simmer the crowd down. “Thank you for getting it out of your system.”

In a statement, FDNY Chief of Department John Hodgens said that the firefighters who disrupted James’s speech will be forced to take woke “re-education” classes. 

I don’t necessarily condone their behavior, but I think woke “re-education” classes are not the answer. I might want some basic classes on manners, but I am not sure that is the answer.

The article concludes:

The letter was sent out to each firefighter stating that they must report to headquarters, laying out the “next steps” in their punishment. 

A few of the “steps” each FDNY member has to follow are listed below: 

  • Have DC visit each firehouse that had a member promoted
  • Relay bullet point message
  • They should understand that BITS is gathering video and identifying members that brought discredit to the Department
  • We want the members to come forward. They will come to HQ to be educated on why their behavior is unacceptable

Does anyone wonder why police and firemen recruiting is down in New York?

‘Woke’ Has Invaded The American Military

On Saturday, The Daily Caller posted an article with the headline, “These Are The Top 7 Times The Military Went Woke In 2022.” That’s not encouraging.

Here is the list:

1. Teaching Critical Race Theory at service academies

2. Ditching male-centric training practices at Marine Corps boot camp

3. Creating a first-ever DEI (Diversity, Equity and Inclusion) Committee

4. Helping airmen evade state-level transgender laws

5. Changing fitness standards to permit more women in the service

6. Scrubbing Confederate references from DOD constructions

7. Prioritizing climate change

None of these things make our military stronger, more cohesive, or more able to protect and defend America. Meanwhile China is doing the things to make its military stronger, more cohesive, and able to defeat any military on the planet. This will not end well.
