For the first time in US Navy history, four women of color are now commanding war ships at the same time, NBC News has reported. 

The four officers, Kimberly Jones, LaDonna Simpson, Kristel O’Cañas, and Kathryn Wijnaldum, recently said that there have been dramatic changes for women serving in the Navy over the years.

  1. There is the fixation with shiny object by the clueless and unintelligent. Ooh look ship! Shiny!

    Women have commanded regiments in the field during conflicts (OIF and OEF), which have more personnel than any ships other than a carrier.

    The Guardian, the political class others in the chattering class are just pushing a BIPIOC and feminine narrative.

    ' “Nuclear Surface Warfare Officers” – a qualification which is “extremely competitive” to obtain" '

    Just remember buying beer is key to getting sign offs in Idaho. I did not make that up. I heard it from some nukes.

    Is it funny how LGBT can be broken out into each specific groups, but in BIPOC two groups are lumped together? It show a degree of lack of it of power sharing. We may not know why L comes first in LGBT, but we all know and dare not criticize (remember Orwell's admonishment) why B comes first.

    An organization (DoD) that can promote Lt. Gen. Ben Hodges (“I was appalled that he said it. Of course, it was actually millions of Ukrainians, not millions of Russians, that died during the Second World War.”), is to be trusted?


    "The number of Russians who died in World War II is undetermined, but estimates range from 20 million to 26 million. Even the low end of the range represents more deaths than the combined numbers suffered by Germany and Japan"

    https://www.reference.com/history/many-russians-died-world-war-ii-82ee0c5f980d7a13

    For Hodges statement to be false, only 2 million Russians have to have died.

    1 million is a million

    2 millions is millions.

  3. 2:09,

    I married someone considered BIPOC a long, long time ago, before this 'trend'. You by the way married white for some reason.

    I presented 6 facts. All of them provable except for one. It too can be proven although it would take a lot of resources.

    You are very sheltered. You do know that a regiment typically is larger than ship's company don't you? Do you know what a regiment is?

  5. You post under your name often, write in a didactic style, and post your memoirs online.

    When a person posts under their own name and just throws up some god awful tripe, you want to see if it is a set up, a troll, or if something is wrong with that person.

    Seriously, what is the difference in what a Russian, Chinese, North Korean or Iranians troll would publish and you?

    What is the difference between the participants in Kamala's virtual Passover celebration and the PLO? You always defend Democrat officials, who are anti-Semite, while claiming you are pro- Israel. If the anti-Semites of the Left and the Democrat party got their way their would be no Israel. Sop again are you real or are you a troll?

    There is a silver lining in Joe's condition for Netanyahu. The puppet master would never allow a meeting. It would give away the game. Thank god for small favors.

  7. I for one do not comment on your site. The few times I was there, I saw no comments. It is one reason I said you site was soulless and I meant it Now if I commented on your site, it might leave some sort of digital footprint. I have not, so I do do not worry in the least. Besides who interesting could you debate or discuss anything with. You? The voyeurs?

    For a person who commented so obstreperously under his name for so long and occasionally still do and where you have a very identifiable argumentative or rhetorical style, you think we don't know you when you pipe up?

    Where you are so obstreperous and wrongheaded, you do not think people would look at your bio to see why?

    BTW 5:04 you are replying to 2 or maybe 3 people. We all know you style and have been abused by your all around illiteracy on multiple subjects.

  9. here is a tip!
    you dislike someone's comments so you dig up a bio online about him and then non stop refer to things in his life to belittle him. Question: what sort of person does that?

  10. There not a woman alive who can command a ship as well as a man. Command is not an area of female expertise. Having women in command of vessels and men will one result in US defeats. This is the fault of the Socialist Democrats who are priming the USA to lose the next big war.

  12. I read an online bio for the same reason I read the on line bio's of people listed in Wikipedia. I wonder how they got to where they are or how they think. So, when I pull up a bio in Wiki, the first thing I bee line to is their background.
    A person does not need to read your bio. All a person needs to know about you is that you are a follower. Wherever the crowd is going or a what you thinking that is where you will be. So a priori. before reading your comments, a person will know how you will think.

    You are a 50 first dates, empty headed follower . There is no difference between an atom following the laws of physics and your thoughts and beliefs. You are perfect for an Orwellian World, a human chameleon.
