Jeannette Garcia @Jnet_margarita - As a disabled female combat veteran who served on an Army Female Engagement Team and worked alongside infantry and special forces during my deployment to Afghanistan, I fully support @PeteHegseth speech today in standards.
DEI policies have weakened our military,
In January 2012, I participated in a mission where I was the only female in the team, supported by my interpreter. When we arrived at the village, it was eerily quiet. As teams entered from various directions, they were stopped by IEDs. My team found an IED and had to wait for EOD support. I was assisting with rear security when my interpreter, fatigued, stepped away to rest and unfortunately triggered an IED. The blast threw me to the ground, and all I could hear was the ringing in my ears and her screams. I quickly got back on my feet and, with my commanding officer, began providing life-saving care. She lost one leg, and the other was barely hanging on. A fellow soldier also lost his eyesight from shrapnel.
I share this experience, though I have others, to emphasize that I have skin in the game and I stand behind Pete’s views on female service members and physical standards.
Secretary of Wars leadership is exactly what our military needs - we need standards not suggestions!

Video: .@SecWar announces new directives to ensure that every military Combat MOS and Combat Arms position will return "to the highest male standard only — because this job is life or death."
"Standards must be met... it's common sense and core to who we are and what we do."

John Kennedy @SenJohnKennedy - Video: To re-open the government, Senator Schumer is demanding that we make the government $1.5 TRILLION bigger.
That’s completely unreasonable.

John Kennedy @SenJohnKennedy - This government shutdown is proof that human evolution is a slow, slow process.

Jonathan Turley @JonathanTurley - NYU Law School has reportedly canceled a Federalist Society event with Ilya Shapiro that was scheduled for Oct. 7. Originally citing the possibility of protests, the law school insisted on changes that FedSoc reportedly agreed to. It then "rescheduled" the event with no date set.

Jonathan Turley @JonathanTurley - Judge William Young declared the administration's visa denial policies unconstitutional this week. 
His 161-page decision was undermined by a bizarre captioning and conclusion that reads like a letter to an anonymous person who sent the judge a postcard...
