New Zealand’s navy has suffered its first peacetime ship loss since World War II when the $100 million multi-role support vessel HMNZS Manawanui ran aground off the southern coast of Upolu Island, Samoa, caught fire and eventually sank—triggering an environmental disaster in the process. With all 75 passengers and crew evacuated, the vessel’s loss brings fresh scrutiny to the leadership under its openly lesbian commanding officer, Commander Yvonne Gray. The Manawanui, originally built in Norway and repurposed for New Zealand’s Royal Navy with a substantial $103 million investment, was conducting a seabed survey mission when it hit a reef, according to maritime news outlet gCaptain.

You'd think that submerged reefs would be one of the important features to survey on the seabed. But, DEI and equity are far more important than mission success. Just buy another ship from Norway.

This is what happens when you have a person in critically important positions based solely on their social/ political/sexual/anything but normal status, rather than the ability to do the job at hand. A better example would be Kamala Harris. Air from ear to ear.

Perhaps "reef" means something else in that captain's world- maybe "getting reefed" is psychologically desirable. Perhaps it was an irresistible impulse. Perhaps she has a Chinese girlfriend.

In the American Navy, she would be replaced, possibly court martialed, and her career ended. I suspect the New Zealand Navy will protect her and pin the blame on some junior officer who was on duty that night.

In 2023, the pontiff chose the woke friar to open the Vatican Synod on Synodality, who began his words by confessing, “I am old, white, a Westerner, and a man! I don’t know which is worse.” (snip) “I have no doubt that God does call homosexuals to the priesthood, and they are among the most dedicated and impressive priests I have met,” he stated.

California Democratic Gov. Gavin Newsom has continuously denied that the state’s policies have anything to do with sky-high gas prices the state's residents pay, arguing that it’s “Big Oil” driving up gasoline prices. But a new study shows policies have added as much as $1.91 per gallon to what Californians pay at the pump. According to AAA, Americans on Saturday were paying on average $3.177 a gallon for gasoline. Californians were paying $4.676 per gallon on average. The gap can vary. A year ago, the average national price was $3.814 per gallon, while Californians were paying $6.059 per gallon.

The Supreme Court agreed Friday to consider a woman’s claim that she was demoted because she is straight. Marlean Ames, who began working for the Ohio Department of Youth Services in 2004, sued the department for sex-based discrimination in 2020, alleging she did not receive a promotion and was later demoted because she is a “heterosexual woman,” according to court records Ames brought her case under Title VII of the Civil Rights Act of 1964, which bans sex-based workplace discrimination. The justices agreed to weigh in on whether a heightened standard should be required for members of a “majority-group” to bring such claims.

President Biden uses a vulgar nickname for former President Donald Trump when the Democrat speaks about his predecessor in private, according to a forthcoming book. “That f—king a—hole” is how Biden, 81, refers to Trump, 78, behind closed doors, CNN reported Tuesday in a preview of Bob Woodward’s tome “War,” out next week. In public, Biden usually refers to Trump in roundabout ways, such as “my predecessor” or “the former guy” — when the incumbent deigns to mention the 45th president at all. The president’s hot temper and penchant for profanity has been reported before, with Politico revealing in October 2021 that Biden regularly f-bombed West Wing aides in meetings,

Among the crucial independent voters, the margin is even greater – 49% to 36%. That’s not all. More trust Harris to bring about energy independence, 48%-47%.

Democrats, who were once optimistic about the candidacy of Vice President Kamala Harris, are now feeling extremely nervous about the party’s decision to push President Joe Biden to step aside. Harris won exactly zero Democrat primary votes before her coronation and held one of the lowest approval ratings as a vice president in U.S. history. Only after the establishment media began writing about Harris in a positive way did her standing among the electorate appear to rise.Everything is deadlocked and the composition of the electorate is unknowable, and there are so many things that are unprecedented,” said Jamal Simmons, a Democrat strategist who served as Harris’s communications director until last year.
