From Air Force Magazine:

Airmen and Guardians are now allowed to include their pronouns in the signature block of emails, memoranda, letters, and papers.

The inclusion of pronouns, such as he/him, she/her, and they/them, in signature blocks has become an increasingly common practice in the business world and helps to ensure that transgender and nonbinary individuals are identified as they desire. It also helps individuals with gender-neutral names.

“An inclusive force is a mission-ready force, and I’m thankful to the LGBTQ Initiatives Team for helping us realize this opportunity to be a more inclusive force,” Undersecretary of the Air Force Gina Ortiz Jones said in a statement.

The effort to introduce this change in the official writing guide was started by Master Sgt. Jamie Hash, the other LIT Transgender Policy Team co-lead, as part of her base’s Diversity and Inclusion Committee, the Air Force said.

The Air Force officially stood up its department-wide Office of Diversity and Inclusion in January 2021.

Since then, the Air Force has updated standards such as those involving women’s hair in an effort to better address differences in hair texture and density, and Jones became the first openly lesbian and second member of the LGBTQ community to serve as undersecretary. Since then, she has championed several diversity initiatives within the department.

Kelly Johnson didn’t need his pronouns in his signature when he ran Skunk Works and designed half the fucking aircraft for the Air Force.

Today’s Air Force has an Office of Diversity Equity and Inclusion that is putting pronouns in bios.

We learned in WWII, Korea, and again in Vietnam the importance of air combat superiority.

That became Air Force doctrine.

We could use tactical air dominance to secure victory over a larger enrmy ground force.

We’re going to give that up for diversity, equity  inclusion, and preferred pronouns.

It has been absolutely clear that everything Woke goes to shit.

It goes to shit because it doesn’t foster unity through an esprit de corps but causes constant infighting and grievance mongering.

Once you go down the path of DE&I and pronouns in your bio/signature, you’ve drunk enough of the Woke Kool-aid that your downfall is inevitable.

Miguel sent me this:

My mom worries because I wear a Jewish Star necklace — she knows that me being openly Jewish puts my life at risk.
The only time I get worried is when I see someone openly carrying a gun. My first thought is always the same, does he hate Jews & can he see my necklace. #DisarmHate https://t.co/sGs1QJeQ6F

I understand her fear of going out in public being openly Jewish.

Her fear that every person open carrying is Leftist prejudice and stupid.

I read the article in the Shannon Watts subtweet.  It has nothing to do with guns.

In a nutshell, what is says is that most antisemites attack Jews who are easily identified as Jews, i.e., wear Yarmakules have sideburns, etc.  Most Jews don’t dress that way so most antisemitic attacks are concentrated on a smaller percentage of Jews who antisemites can easily identify.

Watts took that and added the “unfettered access to arsenals” herself.

The thing is, most antisemitic attacks in the US are neither from the stereotypical “white supremacist” or with a gun.

Just follow some of the NYC Shomrim accounts:

The antisemitism the Left dare no speak it’s name.

The reality is antisemitism will never go away.

After six thousand years, we better get used to that.

It can be lessened but never eliminated completely.

All we can do is be vigilant against it.

The idea of disarming hate so Jews can live peacefully disarmed will never work.

Just ask the Jews of Israel who are run over with cars or stabbed with kitchen knives, or the Jews of France and Germany where synagogues are attacked with molotov cocktails, or the Jews of New York who get punched in the face.

The reality is that we need to be armed too.  To be ready to meet force with force and repel violence with violence.

Being anti-gun doesn’t make her any safer and by embracing the Leftist stereotypes of who an antisemite is, she compounds her danger by ignoring all the other threats that don’t fit her narrative.

I’m calling it now:

Here is the article.

The military will propose a change to the uniform that allows personnel to put their preferred pronouns on their name tapes.

It’s gonna happen.

Do you know somebody by the name of John Nick?

I do not appreciate anybody trying to abuse my comments’ section with spam, even if it is gun related. Basic courtesy and professionalism say you contact the site owner first, issue bonafides and ask him/her if it is OK to offer your goods.  Speaking of professionalism, how come I can’t find an email address in your ‘Contact Us’ page?

Dick move.

UPDATE: Read the comments for possible scam site warnings.

We were talking about knives in Facebook and a couple of us mentioned we carry two of them. I was asked why and after I was done, i realized I could use the exchange as a blog post and maybe it could help somebody make a decision about carrying blades.

My “social carry” blades. depending one how I feel or where I wear, I carry one of these most of the times when I go out:

And my utility blade:

These were my explanations during the chat:

Most people, the moment they see the little cross in the red shield denoting a Swiss Army Knife, they just think Boy Scouts or camping and don’t worry much. Mind you, this is a respectable main blade that is one-hand opening locks just like your tactical knife, but there is no association with danger-ZOMG-Assassin-Blade! for normal people.

The other knives look menacing which in my personal experience have come handy to change the mind of critters thinking I was a victim. Whatever I am carrying does not come out unless I am back home and has to be put away or I need it to modify somebody’s aggressive behavior.

And, of course, those do not include blades I have all over the house and inside the truck. There be blades everywhere because sometimes they are easier to reach or you dumb plumb forgot to have one with you.

I almost forgot the official House Carry:

When you carry a blade, you are a useful individual. How many times a day do you find yourself trying to remove/open/trim/reduce/etc something and you can’t because simply you do not have the proper tool AKA a blade?

And if you carry at least one, how many times daily do we see people struggling with something and we say to ourselves “How come this person does not have a simple knife or even a box cutter?”

And probably was told to “stops acting out” when throwing a temper tantrum in the supermarket because mommy did not want to buy her favorite candy bar of sugary cereal. And I just know mommy gave up every single time.

Live look at the libs in DC at the Anti-Vax Mandate protest on the National Mall.

Palm Beach therapist sees increase in children’s speech delays during COVID-19

The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention say putting a face mask on your child is a critical tool in slowing the spread of COVID-19, however, some in the health community are now sounding an alarm.

Therapists say they are seeing children with speech delays.

“This has been a very challenging year,” said Jaclyn Theek, a clinic director and speech-language pathologist at the Speech and Learning Institute in North Palm Beach.

She said that during this pandemic, her speech therapy clinic has seen an enormous shift in the ages of its patients. Before the pandemic, only 5% of patients were babies and toddlers, while today it’s soared to 20%. Many parents call it “COVID-delayed.”

“We’ve seen a 364% patient increase in patient referrals of babies and toddlers from pediatricians and parents,” Theek said.

When asked if they are children having a difficult time speaking, Theek said they are “speech-delayed.”

Babies start learning how to speak by reading lips at as young as 8-months-old. So when lips and faces are covered up by masks, therapists say for some kids, they can work around the mask and still learn to speak perfectly fine. But for others, it can cause speech delays.

To compound this problem, some places are requiring speech therapists to be masked while doing speech therapy, which makes it effectively useless.

This hits very close to home for me.

My son is very smart.  He’s 7 years old and in the second grade.  He’s doing 4th grade math (multiplication, division, and fractions) and has read the first three Harry Potter books (6th grade level).

Early on, he was tested for special education because he had a language issue.  He had an inner ear problem and was speech delayed.  A minor surgery and speech therapy later, he’s doing advanced work.

Speech delays and communication problems can be confused for slow learning and intelligence deficiencies.

All of this brought about by mask mandates which turned out to be totally useless.

We let a bunch of septuagenarian and octogenarian politicians create a cult of fear around Covid that had destroyed every level of child development.

This shit makes my blood boil.

Ever story like this makes me want to put every Covidian to the wall for what they did to children.
