ICYMI: Rubio Exposes Wokeness in State Department, Military

This year’s Pride Month reveals more clearly than ever how wokeness undermines national institutions…. [T]his June, virtually every one of them will join in the rituals of the Left’s new civic religion, at the cost of their mission and strength.
I have been warning about this for years…. Our “Woke Warfighters” report cataloged the ways in which America’s armed forces have been infiltrated and undermined—not by enemy spies, but by a fanatical ideology at odds with the common defense and divorced from national security objectives….
