The Woke U.S. Military

This is a Part 2 to the post from yesterday.  Obesity and laziness in our kids makes them unqualified to serve.  Those that are physically eligible may not be attracted to volunteer because of “wokeness”

***********************************

 The Army recently ran anime lesbian wedding ads, which is pushing away the recruits it needs, young patriotic men and women from traditional backgrounds.  Then you have the mandatory transgender pronoun training presentation “Policy on the Military Service of Transgender Persons and Persons with Gender Dysphoria,” which is part of a larger push by the Biden administration to make the military more welcoming to transgender people. “The Army allows transgender soldiers to serve openly,” states the presentation, which is tailored for Army commanders and leaders. “An otherwise qualified soldier shall not be involuntarily separated, discharged, or denied reenlistment or continuation of service on the basis of gender identity.”

It seems as though the Army has stopped worrying about winning wars and is instead working to establish the “Army as a global leader in Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion.”  To add insult to injury, even though the Army can’t garner enough recruits even after offering everything woke, it has been kicking out unvaccinated soldiers.

Earlier this year, the Army reported that commanders had “relieved a total of six Regular Army leaders, including two battalion commanders, and issued 3,073 general officer written reprimands to Soldiers for refusing the vaccination order.” As of June, 60,000 Army Reserve and National Guard soldiers were unvaccinated (approximately 10 percent of the Army Reserve, and 13 percent of the National Guard, according to AP and The Washington Post).

“Army readiness depends on soldiers who are prepared to train, deploy, fight and win our nation’s wars,” Army Secretary Christine Wormuth claimed. “Unvaccinated soldiers present risk to the force and jeopardize readiness.”

It is apparent to this writer that the issue at hand is truly leadership. Trust is important, especially if you are placing your life on the line to defend our country as a soldier, airman, sailor, or Marine. Honesty paves the way for trust. Trust and honesty lay the cornerstone for respect. The Biden administration’s idea of leadership and trust in our military is reflected more in their pan-global progressive ideology and morally bankrupt social experiments than providing for basic obligations to train and groom new successful military recruits.  

Our military today is failing to meet its recruiting goals because it has failed to earn the trust of normal Americans who would otherwise be inclined to volunteer.

The U.S. Military is In Trouble

 The military is having a hard time getting anyone to enlist.  They even have removed the requirement of having a High School education.  Maybe they are suffering from the same problem as all employers are suffering from?...no one wants to show up for work?  Or maybe it something to do with how "woke" the military has become and the conservatives who usually enlist are getting fed up with Covid vaccine mandates and transgender showering requirements?  

In June 2021, the Biden administration issued an order to the Department of Defense requiring all qualified transgender individual to be allowed to serve openly in the military, reversing a Trump administration that prohibiting persons with gender dysphoria to serve openly in their self-identified gender.

The policy change allows a soldier to request to change their gender marker in the Defense Enrollment Eligibility Reporting System (DEERS), the Department of Defense’s massive personnel database that tracks military members, once the soldier meets the Army’s standards for military service and is “stable in their self-identified gender.”

Following the order, the Army secretary began implementing the policy change by altering mandatory training regimen to be more inclusive.

A mandatory training presentation includes a slide or “vignette” titled, “Soldier, Unit Training Barracks, Bathrooms, and Showers” instructs soldiers on how to respond if they encounter a female who is “transitioning” to a male and to accept “primitive” working conditions.

“Vignette: Following his transition from female to male (which did not include sex reassignment surgery) and gender marker changes in DEERS, a transgender Soldier begins using male barracks, bathrooms, and shower facilities,” the training document states obtained by Breitbart News. “Because he did not undergo a surgical change, the Soldier still has female genitalia.

“Soldiers must accept living and working conditions that are often austere, primitive, and characterized by little or no privacy… Understand anyone may encounter individuals in barracks, bathrooms, or shower facilities with physical characteristics of the opposite sex despite having markers in DEERS.”

According to the training slide, inclusive regulation or “Equal Opportunity” policies “apply to working, living, and recreational environment (on and off-post, during duty and non-duty hours).”

Refusing to comply with EO  results disciplinary action under the Uniform Code of Military Justice.

Soldiers must be “respectful of the privacy and modesty concerns of others,” the Army guide continues. “Transgender Soldiers are not required or expected to modify or adjust their behavior based on the fact that they do not ‘match’ other Soldiers.”

I'm going to take a wild guess and say that Russia, China, Iran, North Korea and Turkey are NOT requiring their soldiers to learn how to handle men-who-think-they-are-woman fighting and showering side by side with them?

We literally are watching our nation implode right in front of our eyes.  Implode from what?  Stupidity and ridiculousness!  This clown-world of men or women saying they are something else is going to cost us billions to implement the policy of WHAT WE DO WITH THEM.  Can they join the military?  Can we make powerpoints and policy/rules to train our existing soldiers how to handle a man with a vagina while in the shower? 

If you are a manly man who had dreamed of being a soldier or a Navy Seal or a Top Gun fighter, are you really sure you want to put up with all this B.S. and "wokeness" that has now become the U.S. Military?  It would appear that many don't.

Christians Help Jews Look for the Red Heifer

 We haven't blogged on this for quite a while but we just saw this great story about red heifers.

The Jews need a perfect red heifer to use in a ceremony and then burn it and use it's ashes to purify the priest before he can go into the temple.  Currently there is no temple and no red heifer.  But that could all change real soon!  And maybe the Christians in America will help the Jews find their perfect red heifer?

The Temple Institute has been working to reinstate the red heifer ceremony since 2015, and recently, a pro-Israel Christian organization decided to help out.

THE RED HEIFER PROGRAM

The Temple Institute launched its Red Heifer program about a decade ago, but even in Temple times, an animal that fulfilled the Biblical requirements was exceedingly rare. Failing to produce a suitable candidate from ranchers in Israel, The Temple Institute began investigating alternative sources for a red heifer. 

Last year, the Temple Institute was contacted by a cattle farmer in Commanche, Texas, who informed them that five red calves had been born on his ranch, about two and a half hours travel from Dallas. Normally, calves are ear-tagged when just a few days old. By a remarkable coincidence, these five calves were not tagged, and, also coincidentally, all were female. Any blemish disqualifies the calf, and a hole in the ear is just such a blemish.

The farmer explained that because of COVID, the employee who normally puts in the tags did not come to the farm when these five calves were born.

DEMANDING REQUIREMENTS

A team of rabbis from the Temple Institute flew out to inspect the calves. The requirements are incredibly demanding, requiring that there be no more than two non-red hairs on the entire calf.  It must also never have been used for any labor or have been impregnated. The heifer must be two years and one day old to be suitable for the ceremony. 

Sometimes, a calf that is perfectly red when it is young develops black or white hairs as it grows older or may develop a blemish. Sometimes, the colored hairs fall out or disappear. The Temple Institute decided to reinspect the calf at a later date. 

Two of the five untagged Heifers were extremely close to passing. One heifer had a very small white spot. Otherwise, it was perfect. The other had some hairs that could be red or black.

So the search continued. But Boneh Israel, an organization that connects Christian lovers of Israel to the Holy Land, stepped in. Based in Texas, Boneh Israel understood ranchers. They took out full-page ads in ranching magazines, explaining the situation to ranchers. They requested that any red calves be set aside.

THE BEST RED HEIFER HUNTER IN TEXAS

Byron Stinson is the team leader in America for Boneh Israel 

"I didn't set out to do this, but right now, I am probably the best red heifer hunter in Texas," Byron quipped. "The Bible says to bring a red cow to purify Israel, and I may not understand it, but I am just doing what the Bible said."

"The prophecies came true, and the Jews are back in Israel," Byron said. "Now they need to build a Temple. But it's like buying a really nice car. If you don't have the key, you aren't going anywhere. The red heifer is the key to making the Temple work like it's supposed to."

Byron had a unique understanding of the red heifer ritual, which purifies Jews from proximity to the dead.

"We are all living under the shadow of death," he said. "We desperately need to be restored to life in today's world. The red heifer is just to purify the Jews for serving in the Temple as a house of prayer for all nations, but we all need it."

Byron described the response of the ranchers, which has been overwhelmingly enthusiastic as many of them are Bible believers and one rancher who has already contacted him about a newly birthed red calf. 


"Dennis, I still don't get it!  What's this all have to do with anything?"

It's showing us the nearness of the Great Tribulation.  The Jews HAVE to have a Temple in order to fulfill the prophecy of the Antichrist going into it.  Prophecy also says that the Jews will be sacrificing animals and the Antichrist will one day make them stop.  In order for them to sacrifice animals in an attempt to atone for their sin, they need to have a temple. And in order for priests to bring the blood into the Holy of Holies they have to be purified by the ashes of a perfect red heifer.  And the fact that all the materials are cut and ready to build the 3rd Temple and the priests are training using a mock temple and the hunt for the red heifer is in full swing....should make all of us realize that the Great Tribulation must be very close.  And if the Tribulation is close but we know the rapture comes BEFORE...are we looking up and saying, "Maybe tonight Lord?"  Are we ready and eager for the Bridegroom to appear??

How Close Are We to Shutting Off Hoover Dam?

 For those who have been following the drying out of Lake Mead, which is created by the Hoover Dam, here is an update from a few days ago.

He thinks that the electric turbines that are propelled by water flowing through the dam, may soon shut down.  This would cause problems as it generates an amazing amount of electricity to throw onto the grid to run everyone's air conditioners and charge their electric cars!

But the real problems will happen when their isn't enough water to keep thousands of acres of farmland watered and millions upon millions of toilets flushing or swimming pools filled.

About 14 minutes in the narrator starts the question of "What should you do if you live here and rely on Lake Mead?"  As he asks the question he has a picture of a U Haul truck on the screen.  Yes, maybe you should consider moving NOW before people start to panic and are forced to move?

And where would 40 million people relocate to?  Answer:  Someplace with plentiful water like the Midwest.

If this begins to happen in the coming months, you are talking about an upheaval like this country hasn't seen before.

Russia Demands Israel Cease "Air Aggression" Against Syria

 This article has a bunch of prophetic topics in it, Russia, Israel, Damascus and Russia demanding something of Israel.  Of course these topics trigger thoughts about Ezekiel 38 and Isaiah 17.

Israel carried out yet another strike on the Syrian coast this weekend, which reportedly wounded two civilians. Russia has been getting more forceful in its denunciations of these strikes which have occurred on an almost weekly basis across various parts of Syria, especially around Damascus over the past few years.

Russia on Monday condemned the latest and other recent attacks as "categorically unacceptable" and demanded they cease immediately. During the early years of Israeli attacks which almost always claimed to be targeting "Iranian assets", Russia remained relatively quiet. 

Foreign Ministry spokesperson Maria Zakharova said, "We strongly condemn such irresponsible actions that violate the sovereignty of Syria and the basic norms of international law, and we demand their unconditional cessation." Also, the Syrian government denounced what it called Israel's "air aggression".

Despite literally hundreds of such strikes, Israeli media reports acknowledged Saturday's attack as rare:

The relatively rare daytime strike on Saturday targeted an area near the Syrian town of al-Hamidiyah, south of Tartus, which is home to Russia’s main naval base in the region. Two civilians were injured and serious damage was caused to civilian infrastructure, Moscow said.

Syrian state sources say that "poultry farms" were targeted in the attack; however, both Israeli and Syrian opposition sources claim that a weapons shipment en route to Hezbollah in Lebanon was hit. 

"Quoting a military source, Syria’s state-run SANA news agency said the missiles were launched Saturday by Israeli fighter jets over the Mediterranean Sea, west of the northern Lebanese city of Tripoli, at the Syrian town of al-Hamidiyah, south of Tartus," The Times of Israel describes.

"While most alleged Israeli attacks in Syria typically take place under the cover of darkness, Saturday’s alleged strike was conducted at around 6:30 a.m., during daylight hours."

At some point, (we hoper AFTER the rapture) Russia is going to get more demanding of Israel.  They are going to get on the outs and maybe it will be over Israel providing energy to Europe which Russia is currently squeezing.  Iran, Turkey and some Islamic nations of N Africa will join them (so they can make sure the job gets done once and for all) in an effort to destroy Israel and take their wealth.

But God has other plans.  He supernaturally destroys the Magog coalition and Israel understands it's the God of their father's that has saved them.

Stay tuned and watch Russia who is now standing on center stage.

German Industries Could Collapse Due to Russian Gas-Cuts

 Do you remember when Trump warned Germany about hitching their entire wagon to Russia’s energy?  Also realize that Germany is a huge economy and trading partner and supplier to USA.  The world continues to move towards recession, depression, food shortages, electricity shortages, water shortages, drought and famine.  But please remember as a follower of Christ our hope and joy is not OF THIS WORLD.  We look forward to living in a new world in our new bodies and reigning with Christ for 1000 years.  This current world order is passing away and all the solar panels, electric cars and recycling efforts will not save it.

***********************

Entire industries in Germany could collapse due to natural-gas supply cuts from Russia, said Yasmin Fahimi, the country's top union official.

"Entire industries are in danger of collapsing permanently because of the gas bottlenecks: aluminum, glass, the chemical industry," Fahimi, the head of the German Federation of Trade Unions, told Bild am Sonntag. "Such a collapse would have massive consequences for the entire economy and jobs in Germany."

The chemical industry, which employs about 346,000 people, is the third-largest industry in Germany, according to Germany Trade & Invest, the country's investment promotion agency.

Germany — Europe's largest economy —  is reliant on piped natural gas from Russia, which accounts for 35% of its imports of the fuel. The industrial powerhouse imports almost all of the natural gas it uses, which accounts for about a quarter of the country's total energy mix, according to the economy ministry.
