Pride Before The Fall

It’s June.  The school year is ending.  It’s the beginning of summer.  And it’s also Pride month for those celebrating alternative lifestyles and various genders no one has heard of before yesterday. 

Of course, the Biden Administration is all in.  And long gone are the days when the gay rights movement just wanted tolerance for two consenting adults in the privacy of their own homes. 

The multicolored flags of the gay rights movement are everywhere in Washington.  The Biden Administration even ordered the gay pride flag to be flown at the U.S. Embassy to the Vatican. 

Then there’s the U.S. Marines Corps. These are men’s men, who charge into battle to defend our country.  My father, Spike Bauer, was a Marine.  For years, the Marines have resisted the woke agenda and politically correct nonsense, but with Biden in charge, even they have surrendered.

Biden’s political hacks at the Pentagon just embarrassed the Marines with an image of rainbow-colored bullets in the brim of a Marine helmet.  (If you weren’t paying attention, you might mistake the bullets for lipstick.)  Vladimir Putin and Chairman Xi must be laughing at us.

We have the bravest and most courageous military in the world.  But the political hacks who presided over the Afghanistan debacle and the woke officers who let it happen have destroyed morale.  Military suicides and desertions are skyrocketing.  But they have time and resources for “gay pride.”

Now there’s an “ultra-LGBTQ flag” with additional colors.  There’s light pink, baby blue and white to represent the transgender community.  There’s also black and brown to represent minority communities.  (I thought this was all about gender identity, not race.)

The Department of Energy got in on the celebration, which isn’t terribly surprising given the background of a top Biden appointee in the office of nuclear energy.  The DOE raised the ultra-LGBTQ flag outside its DC headquarters yesterday.  In a social media post, the department declared, “Pride. This month. Next month. Always.”

I bet most Americans filling up their cars yesterday, paying Joe Biden’s $4.67 a gallon, were probably thinking, “Broke.  This month.  Next month.  And as long as Biden is running our country.”

We’d all be better off if government bureaucrats took more pride in the American energy industry and kept their gender identities to themselves.  We’d be better off if we had an energy secretary who actually knew something about energy!  (Here and here.)

By the way, when is heterosexual pride month?  Did I miss it already
