If you want to see the end process of a military transgender member, look no further…

This is beyond low and henious.

Thank you, Bree Fram, for being there and writing this.

~ For those of us that served with Trey in a glimpse of his 25 year distinguished career.

Yesterday, I attended the first of what promises to be a string of heartbreaking events: service members retiring next to their uniform, not in it. The uniform standing beside the person who sacrificed, sweated, and, in many cases, bled for what it represented.

Chad Robichaux, Tim Kennedy and more have been silent on all this…after their Afghan paramilitary “rescues” and continued VetBro domestic radicalization grifts. Disgusting!

Sayed Naser served as a U.S. military interpreter in Afghanistan. Now he’s being deported.

The Taliban assassinated his brother and kidnapped his father. All because he helped us.

Why are the feds trying to deport him, even though his asylum case is still pending?

Not justice, it’s a betrayal.

Unpleasant Reminders @joltyourmemory.bsky.social · May 27

Taken out of the Coast Guard's budget.

Remember the 2019 shutdown? The Coast Guard had work without pay, because they were essential workers.

Noem has been interfering with senior Coast Guard's backpay. And Musk wants control of their computer system for navigating and mapping.

Anonymous @youranoncentral.bsky.social · May 16

The out of control Trump regime loyalist Kristi Noem forced the US Coast Guard to make a last-minute change to its 2025 budget to fund a private Gulfstream V jet for her personal use—redirecting the funds from the Coast Guard’s aid and rescue operations. She already owns one but wanted a new one.

Here you can learn more about Tapper. Source: Breaker Media via Chris D Jackson

The actual Original Sin began in May of 2015, with Beau Biden at Walter Reed National Medical Center in Bethesda, Maryland and the family rallying around during the final days of his life. Tapper called Hunter repeatedly on his cellphone, according to three people familiar with the situation.
Those calls went unanswered. But then Hunter received a call from a blocked number. So he did pick up. It was Tapper, who allegedly asked Hunter to call him when Beau died. "Go Fuck yourself Jake," is what those who were present at the time recall Hunter telling Tapper.
When Puck's Dylan Byers reported on this situation last week he included a statement from Tapper who called the accounts "a patently false lie. "At no point in my life have I ever called Hunter Biden-I've never even had his phone number-and I would never have contacted a person's immediate family during such a challenging and personal time." (A statement Tapper repeated to us).
When we reached Hunter he told us: "It would be impossible to forget or misremember something that upsetting and out of line during one of the toughest moments of my life. It happened. I was furious. And I told him so the next time I saw him, which was at the Super Bowl."
At that game Tapper approached Hunter to shake his hand. But Hunter responded that he was still so enraged about what had happened at Walter Reed that he would knock him out if they were not in a public setting. We are told Tapper would later demand an apology from Biden for his son's behavior.

spokesperson for Tapper doubled down. "The idea that Jake could do something so heartless-and yet the Bidens would subsequently offer him multiple sit down interviews as well as agree to him moderating the debate, all without anyone hearing about it until now — completely defies logic."
It's rare for the two protagonists of a story to disagree so profoundly, so we dug into the details. We found, for example, that Tapper did in fact cover those drug allegations.
According to two other people who spoke with Hunter directly after the Walter Reed incident Tapper did call. "It was obviously transparent niceties and then right to business as if the one thing Hunter is thinking about as Beau is dying is let me give Jake Tapper an exclusive," a person who was with the Biden family at the time told Breaker. "He was furious about it."
It also defies logic that the campaign, rather than CNN, would get to choose who moderated a debate.
And we can only find one instance where Tapper interviewed Biden when he was President.
Those in the Biden world note Tapper had long been frustrated with the Bidens over a lack of access.
Just before Biden's 2024 State of the Union address (as is customary) a number of network anchors were invited to the White House for an off-the-record briefing from the President. As the speech was to be centered around the economy, CNN's Erin Burnett was picked over Tapper.
According to two people familiar with the matter, Tapper had a "meltdown" and called numerous people in the White House to vent his anger at the decision. "He was raging I'm Jake Tapper and this is my network," according to a person on the receiving end of one of Tapper's calls.
