What is altitude sickness?

If you’ve ever hiked up a mountain and felt yourself getting nauseous or lightheaded, you may have experienced altitude sickness, also called mountain sickness. This condition happens when you travel to a high altitude (elevation) too quickly.

It doesn’t happen only to hikers. Just visiting a high-altitude location can cause problems for some. Symptoms happen when your body tries to adjust to the lower air pressure and lower oxygen levels at high altitudes.

Just like kids!

This is the Secretary of today's Army

November 18, 2022

Madame Secretary, Your Woke Policies are Killing the Army

By Don Brown

Recently, Army secretary Christine Wormuth, who never served a day in the military, grabbed the microphone at an event sponsored by the Association of the United States Army to address a topic near-and-dear to the left: wokeness.

"I'm not sure what woke means," Wormuth claimed (see at 14:48).  "If woke means we are not focused on warfighting, we are not focused on readiness, that doesn't reflect what I see at installations all around the country or overseas when I go and visit.  But we do have a wide range of soldiers in our Army and we have got to make them all feel included.  And that's why a lot of our diversity, equity, and inclusion programs are important."

So the secretary wants "diversity, equity, and inclusion" programs so that all the soldiers "feel included"?  And she claims not to know what woke means in the military? 

Here's a quick primer, Madame Secretary — just the tip of the woke iceberg you claim not to recognize.

• The unprecedented McCarthyesque sixty-day "stand-down" imposed in January 2021, to discuss alleged "extremism" in the ranks, as if the Army is full of "extremists," whatever that means.
• Recruiting self-identified transgender soldiers, so the government can pay for genital-mutilating surgery with taxpayer dollars.
• Proposing watered down physical training requirements for women, solely for the sake of "inclusion" of women in combat, when women, on the whole, are much weaker than men, and such forced inclusion runs the risk of getting Americans killed.
• Insisting upon foolish gender pronouns for so-called "nonbinary troops," like him/shim/it/they/them/that.
• Forcing troops into foolish wasteful training on the likes of "gender pronouns" and "gender dysphoria."
• Forcing Critical Race Theory into the United States Military Academy with racist, anti-white propaganda via lectures entitled "Understanding Whiteness and White Rage" and forcing West Point cadets to watch slides entitled "Queer Theory" and "White Power at West Point."
• Wasting taxpayer money by promoting so-called "Pride Month" celebrations, thus using federal tax dollars to openly favor one group over others.
• Wasting taxpayer money on so-called "Diversity Equity and Inclusion" programs, as if the military has not been a diverse institution, and, in doing so, pulling troops away from actual training that promotes military readiness.
• Dressing men in women's dresses, heels, and pantyhose, then commissioning them as officers or making them NCOs and asking them to lead troops when America's national security is on the line.  As a side note, we note that the Army's first "transgender" officer has now been indicted for providing classified materials to the Russians — a topic on which the secretary has remained curiously mum.
• Ridiculously claiming that "climate change" is an "existential threat to national security," as if the temperature caused Putin to invade Ukraine, or as if bin Laden orchestrated the 9/11 attacks because of some melting iceberg, or as if some rain storm might cause China to invade Taiwan.
• Draconian vaccination mandates, jabbing soldiers, sailors, airmen, and Marines with experimental vaccinations, although military members were never seriously threatened by COVID.
• The carte blanche denial of vaccination exemption requests based upon religious grounds.
• Removing good soldiers from the military who decline the experimental COVID vaccine.
• Paying for female soldiers, at taxpayers' expense, to travel across state lines to get an abortion, and thus arguably violating the Hatch Act.

All this foolishness embodies the Democrat party's political aims, rammed down soldiers' throats, detracting from force readiness and undermining morale among the troops.  And there's your "woke" in the military, Madame Secretary.

The secretary claims that the Army is operationally ready, as if she is somehow qualified to assess military readiness, though she never served a day in uniform.  She knows this, she says, because she's visited posts and installations at home and overseas.

Right.

 

Going unnoticed today in TDS Main Stream News...

 

57 y.o. Psychologist & CNN contributor niece of The Donald lost her case in court.

https://www.msn.com/en-us/news/politics/donald-trump-defeats-niece-mary-trump-in-lawsuit-over-inheritance/ar-AA148HDk

Michael Cohen, Trump's former attorney also lost in court this week.

The lawsuit’s dismissal is the second legal victory for the former president this week, after a retaliation lawsuit by Michael Cohen was dismissed by a federal judge on Monday. Cohen, a former personal attorney for Donald Trump, had alleged that Donald Trump, former Attorney General William Barr and others put him back in jail to prevent him from promoting his upcoming book while under home confinement.

Three more to go for The Donald:

NY State AG Letitia James

 is suing The Donald & his kids for inflating their assets to get loans!

I'm not sure why Alvin Bragg, the DA of Manhattan is suing The Donald,

but I'm guessing it is about money & politics.

And then we have Georgia, 2000

DA Fani Willis is also suing Trump over his phone call

after the 2020 election!

Houston is a really good baseball team,

but there is Hope, if the Phillies manager has the guts to replace one Nick for another Nick!

This is our current Nick,

our right fielder & the # 5 hitter in the lineup.

Have you noticed him at all this year?

I would like to see the old Nick replaced by the young Nick.

Nick Mason, who plays the infield & outfield & replaced the old Nick in right field when the old Nick was injured he & did a really good job.

The young Nick was celebrated as the hero of a game!

In fairness, I have searched for photos of the old Nick being celebrated...

I did not find any

I was surprised to find that the Phil's are his fourth team!

The Phillies signed him to a five year (guaranteed contract) @ $20 million per year!

YIKES!

The 30 year old Nick makes $20 million per year

The 25 year old Nick makes $570,000

and in my opinion he plays baseball better than the 30 year old Nick.

If you had a laugh coming into Center City on I-76 you can thank local attorney James Helm, founder of TopDog Law.

Helm is the guy behind the massive trolling message on a billboard at mile marker 345.8 on the Schuylkill Expressway, which squarely targets Philadelphia’s current public enemy number one: the Houston Astros.

James Helm? He may be Philly's answer to 'Better call Saul'

yep
