In the last week, we watched Joe Biden box check the loony feminist faction of his party. Why, the military is stepping up, droned Biden in a televised appearance. Flight suits will better accommodate pregnant female air personnel. Newer hairstyles will be permitted, lest hipper gal soldiers decide to leave the military in a snit. Nothing frivolous here.
Meanwhile, woke Pentagon desk jockeys (doubtless, Obama’s handpicked finest) slammed Tucker Carlson for daring to be intrepidly unwoke. Carlson wondered about the absurdity of pregnant warrior pilots and hairdos when the U.S. faces a growing menace from unfree China.

My Take - New cold war? Really? This "cold war" started in 1949 when the communists took over China, and it never ended with the Chinese.

S. which with our trade policies are funding their military buildup and acts of aggression against their neighbors. Why is that so hard to understand?
