This article is appropriate to be published on Halloween because it should scare every American. The fact it does not spook the Left is a story in itself. The Heritage Foundation recently released its assessment of our Military strength and readiness and gave their lowest scores in history. It was the first time the Foundation rated our military as “weak.” With so many hot spots in the world, a weak military does not let me sleep soundly. The weak rating is a product of Joe Biden’s vision and why he put the feckless Lloyd Austin in the slot of Secretary of Defense. Like this administration has done with every aspect of America, Biden and Austin have destroyed our military in just two years.

We saw the result of their efforts with the disastrous and embarrassing retreat from Afghanistan. We see how weak our military has become by how are foes are taking advantage of our lack of desire to stop their actions. Russia invaded Ukraine. China is preparing to take over Taiwan. Iran is close to a nuclear warhead to aim at Israel, and North Korea test-fires its missiles over Japan. None of this would happen under a Republican-controlled military.

Lloyd Austin is more concerned with a WOKE military focused on diversity, gender neutrality, and vaccine requirements than being the toughest, best-equipped, trained, and ready military. At a time when we see Putin threaten to use nuclear weapons in Ukraine, the Pentagon announced a decrease in our nuclear arms. This action is the sign of weakness that makes our foes salivate.

This past week, it was uncovered that the 50 schools which fall under the control of the Department of Defense had stocked their libraries with explicit pornographic material. It was confirmed that these”books” had been placed in the last two years. In most libraries, these titles are in a section boasting they are “banned books.”

Some of the titles are:

• This Book is Gay
• All Boys Aren’t Blue
• Sex: A Book for Teens
• Big Questions Book of Sex & Consent
• Respect: Everything a Guy Needs to Know About Sex, Love, and Consent
• Gender Queer
• Middle School is a Drag
• Flamer
• A Quick and Easy Guide to They/Them Pronouns

These books are the DOD focus when recent results show a sharp decline in student test scores in math and reading. Like everything else this administration does, it misses the mark. It is an administration geared towards breaking down traditional America and replacing it with a more diverse and WOKE version.

It is imperative that we elect more Conservative officials in the midterms who can put the brakes on the destructive Biden policies. So much has happened in the first two years of the Biden Presidency that it is beyond our imagination what he has in store for the last two years. We must stop and reverse this trend before it is too late. The first step to taking back our country is voting Republican on November 8th. Get out and vote and be a part of the Red Wave that will save America.
