WASHINGTON D.C

The Pentagon concentrated on climate change during the Afghanistan withdrawal

Here is what’s going on: According to documents obtained by The Daily Wire, the Pentagon was preoccupied with completing a significant climate change effort as the Afghanistan departure problem worsened. The project, which labeled climate change as a "national security" issue, was the subject of the emails, which show top Pentagon officials desperately trying to convince the secretary of defense to approve it.

• Aftermath: 13 young American soldiers were killed during the pullout from Afghanistan, over 800 Americans were left behind, and the Taliban received billions of dollars worth of weapons.

Why it is important: It's yet another illustration of how ideological efforts triumph over traditional governmental duties, from the Department of Education's emphasis on academic quality to the Pentagon's military readiness.

Dive Deeper: In recent years, instead of concentrating on protecting the homeland, the military has expelled thousands of unvaccinated personnel, made an effort to expel political dissidents from the military, and made it more difficult for suitable soldiers to be recruited.

The new focus: In order to achieve diversity, the military has relaxed standards, permitted transgender troops to serve, and abandoned gender-neutral fitness testing. It also undertakes advertising efforts to attract LGBT recruits. The Defense Department under President Joe Biden advocated for allowing soldiers with HIV to serve.

Zoom out: This is a trend that permeates all facets of American governance. National energy independence aspirations have been replaced with climate alarmism, health officials prioritized treatment by race, and school districts across the country have eliminated honors classes in an effort to increase diversity. Biden's Department of Education also concentrates on promoting LGBT initiatives while academic scores decline.

Brief News

⚧ Parents in Michigan are suing the school system over its transgender bathroom policy. According to Vicksburg Public Schools, students must be allowed to select toilets in accordance with their declared gender identification under federal guidance and Michigan law. Parents claim that they do not respect the civil rights of female pupils or Title IX. According to one mother, girls are staying away from bathrooms out of fear.

🇺🇦 Leaders in the West will invest "long-term" resources in Ukraine. America and the other G7 nations are drafting a commitment that, once ratified, will signify unwavering military backing for Ukraine. This action is meant to demonstrate to Russia that the West is serious about its intentions. The preparation of the blueprints will probably take months.

😷 Trump declares that "we will not comply" with any potential COVID limits in the second round. Former President George W. Bush pledged to stop providing public assistance "to any school, college, airline, or public transportation system that imposes a mask mandate or a vaccine mandate." In his statement, Trump warned that "COVID hysteria" might result in "more lockdowns, more censorship, more illegal drop boxes, and more mail-in ballots."

✈️ Think tank: Diversity is harmed by the Air Force's eligibility standards. According to a Rand Corporation report, black and Hispanic Americans are disproportionately excluded under the Air Force's requirements. The group "considers a diverse force to be a military necessity," a viewpoint that has gained ground under President Joe Biden.

TRENDING IN AMERICA

Who funds nonprofit news?

The scoop: According to research by The Washington Free Beacon, the nonprofit news wire Associated Press receives millions of dollars in support from zero right-leaning groups and dozens of left-leaning organizations. The organizations support causes like abortion, outlawing transgenderism in schools, increasing the size of the Supreme Court, and halting climate change.

Why it is important: The Associated Press is one of the most dependable news organizations, establishing industry norms with its renowned stylebook and exercising enormous influence as a fact-checker on social media. The publication has a strong motive to produce content that will suit its partisan supporters and win their ongoing support, despite its claims to be independent and fair.

For instance: the liberal-funded A.P. "democracy journalism" effort focuses on "the intersection of race and voting" and how election integrity rules put voting rights "at risk." With assistance from the Ida B. Wells Society, which was established by the creator of the debunked 1619 Project on slavery, the A.P. also addresses "inclusive storytelling" on "race and systemic inequality."

Zooming out: Media organizations frequently straddle the boundary between news and advocacy under the nonprofit funding model. For instance, ProPublica attacked conservative Supreme Court justices despite receiving significant funding from liberal organizations, including some that seek to swell the bench. This is only one example of how corporate journalists today have embraced party politics.
