Former Navy commander Bobby Jones had quite a bit to say about how much harm dump is doing to our military. He starts with an important history lesson on how some of our country’s greatest victories were due specifically to “DEI hires”.

He also talks about how crucial the military is to defend our country from those who would subvert it from within. First, General Milley on the importance of the oath that all soldiers take:

Officers take a similar, but different, oath than the enlisted. Enlisted soldiers swear to obey the President and the orders from the officers above them. Officers, however, do NOT swear to obey the President. This is not an oversight — it is another defining issue that differentiates our military from those of other countries. And it has HUGE implications for how each and every officer will respond to the illegal orders we know are coming from this administration.

Daily Kos relies on small donations to make ends meet

Ad revenue can't support Daily Kos operations—and it hasn't been able to for more than a decade. Digital ad revenue has declined everywhere, especially for news organizations for whom it was once their lifeblood. Companies are spending less money on ads, and Amazon, Facebook and Google are gobbling up an ever-greater share of what remains. This has left almost nothing for places like Daily Kos. The only reason we've been able to survive is because of the support of readers like you. That's why we're asking: Can you take one minute right now to donate $5 or more to Daily Kos? It would mean so much to us.
