Seems a Navy SEAL is under investigation. His crime?\u00a0 Apparently he associates with some of the wrong folks and has politically wrong opinions.<\/p>\n
Chief Special Warfare Operator Bryce Henson is under investigation following allegations of “possibly participating with, or supporting, extremist causes,” Navy spokesman Cmdr. Ben Tisdale confirmed to Military.com.<\/p>\n
One of the first events where Henson was spotted by journalists was a protest outside of a YMCA in January. The gym in Santee, California, became the target of protests after a 17-year-old girl complained to the city leaders about a transgender woman being allowed to use the women’s locker room.<\/p>\n
All around Henson on both days were people wearing the distinctive yellow and black garb of the Proud Boys — a violent, neo-fascist organization whose members were convicted on a range of charges following the siege of the U.S. Capitol on Jan. 6, 2021.<\/p>\n
In March 2023, Henson did an hourlong interview with a Christian-focused podcast, representing himself as Ben Richards. He described himself as being “activated” into protesting various school policies in April 2022, and his group’s mission is “to expose, challenge and resist critical race theory, radical gender ideology, and COVID and vax tyranny in our schools.”<\/p>\n
“It’s a Marxist indoctrination,” Henson said, seemingly referring to the LGBTQ+ movement.\u00a0 Military.com<\/a><\/p><\/blockquote>\n
So the good Chief was at demonstration also attended by Proud Boys and espoused currently unfashionable views. Doesn’t seem he has harmed anyone nor was there at the behest of the Proud Boys. Looks like he even used a pseudonym, so it’s not like he abused his Navy position.<\/p>\n
The article is linguistically loaded…Military.com is indulging in serious pearl-clutching. It does seem, though, that in the brief bit I read, several facets of his First Amendment rights are getting seriously trampled.<\/p>\n
Listen carefully, and you can hear Strother Martin talking about “getting his mind right.”<\/p>\n
Now we get to the other side of the coin… someone doing what is oh, so right and catching hell for it. Geez, you can’t win nowadays, can you?<\/p>\n
Brandeis University, a notedly liberal Massachusetts university named for former Chief Justice Brandeis, has withdrawn university recognition for a pro-Palestinian group on campus, saying\u00a0 their espoused antics do not fit in with Brandeis’ principles.<\/p>\n
\nThe group, Students for Justice in Palestine, lost its university recognition after it planned a vigil on Monday, November 6 to mourn the “martyrs in Gaza,” according to a social media post by the group. SJP is a branch of a nationwide collection of student groups.\u00a0 higher education.” MSN<\/a><\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n
The student group held a rally Friday to protest the university’s decision at which police allegedly became physically violent.<\/p>\n
Brandeis said that Friday’s group was using threatening statements and was asked to disperse four times before police stepped in. WBZ-TV’s Louisa Moller spoke with some who were arrested. They called their protest peaceful, and said it was police who were violent.<\/p>\n
Brandeis says the students were chanting speech the university deems as hateful such as, “From the river to the sea, Palestine will be free.”<\/p>\n
“We kind of know exactly what that connotation is in the Jewish community, which is that there should be no Jewish state between the Jordan River and the Mediterranean Sea,” said Meshulam Ungar, a Brandeis senior who supports the university’s decision to dismantle the group Students for Justice in Palestine.\u00a0 CBS<\/a><\/p><\/blockquote>\n
This in a way is fun on so many levels – Brandeis is an extremely liberal school sporting a wide variety of the sexually insane (been there for a graduation once, wound up sharing a men’s room with two ladies who needed to pee. They were the most normal folks I met there.)\u00a0 Being a Jewish-based school, though, we find there are limits to free speech and liberal though – and calling for the elimination of Israel is over THEIR line. But the liberal press is all over THEM, for throttling the Palestinian sympathizers. Seems they should have the right to say whatever they want, no matter who they offend, per the pundits.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
