U.S. Senator-elect Elissa Slotkin (D-MI) said this week that removing woke DEI initiatives from the U.S. military is a “politicizing” move. Slotkin made the remarks during a Sunday interview on ABC News’ “This Week” with co-host Martha Raddatz when asked about President-elect Donald Trump’s tapping Pete Hegseth to lead the Department of Defense. “Hegseth has also said that any general that was involved in any of the DEI woke crap has got to go,” Raddatz said. “Do you expect Donald Trump to fire top generals who he considers woke or those close to former Chairman Mark Milley?” Slotkin responded: “Yeah, I don’t think you have to interpret anything. I think they’ve been very clear that they’re putting together some sort of panel that’s going to look at generals, people who have served their nation the — their entire lives over multiple administrations Democrat and Republican in combat, they are now openly talking about dismissing them like some sort of kangaroo court.” “You can imagine the stress in the Pentagon about that, but also on the future of who we are as a military, right?” she continued. “Our military and the role of the military is in the Constitution for a reason and I think we’re really at risk of politicizing the military in a way that we can’t put the genie back in the bottle.” When Raddatz noted that the military has had issues with recruiting, Slotkin suggested that removing woke initiatives from the military would not have much of an impact on recruiting numbers. WATCH: Slotkin’s response to Hegseth’s view that generals who pushed DEI/woke bullshit should be fired: “We’re really at risk of politicizing the military in a way that we can’t put the genie back.” But… it’s the DEI/woke nonsense that politicized the military!pic.twitter.com/jOkCHt0cUp — Jerry Dunleavy IV ??

Yet another move that Adam Silver has gotten wrong

Hot springs enthusiasts are hoping for Arctic temperatures in Canada so an annual hair-freezing contest can go forth later this winter. The yearly competition began in 2012, launched by a spa in the Yukon territory that has since produced some hair-raisingly hilarious pictures.

The attorney for Pete Hegseth, President-elect Donald Trump's defense secretary pick, told the New York Post on Sunday that the former Fox News host had to pay off an accuser during the #MeToo movement to keep her silent.

Current Senate Minority Leader Mitch McConnell blinked twice in a recent interview to indicate that there will be no recess appointments in President Donald Trump’s new administration. This decision has sent shockwaves through the political landscape, leaving many to wonder if McConnell has finally lost his collective mind or if he is simply trying to maintain his own power.  During a press conference, McConnell’s assistant explained that the brain-dead Republican Senate Leader had communicated his decision through a series of blinks, as he is completely unable to speak or communicate in any other way due to his advanced mental decline.  “Recess appointments have long been a point of contention between the executive and legislative branches,” said the assistant. “By refusing to allow any such appointments, Senator McConnell hopes to send a message that the Senate is totally capable and will not be pushed around by the President and that we will uphold our constitutional duties, despite his current mental state.”  The reaction to McConnell’s decision has been mixed, with some expressing support for his stance on recess appointments, while others have laughed it off as yet another example of political grandstanding. Social media has been abuzz with memes and jokes mocking the brain-dead Senate Majority Leader’s choice, with many users pointing out the irony of a mentally incapacitated Republican leader blocking Trump’s ability to make recess appointments.  As the nation continues to grapple with this latest development, it remains to be seen how McConnell’s decision will impact the political landscape. One thing is certain, though: the brain-dead Senate Majority Leader’s indication that there will be no recess appointments in Trump’s new administration has quickly become the talk of the town, and not in a way they likely intended.
