Came on to read all the morning good stuff and find my scheduled column didn’t drop….damn. Better late than never!<\/p>\n

Remember the Navy ship commander who was famously photographed on his fantail firing an M-4 with the scope rear mounted forward?<\/p>\n

The image brought the Navy considerable ridicule on social media. The San Diego Union-Tribune<\/span> reported that Cameron Yaste, commanding officer of the destroyer USS John McCain, was removed on Friday.<\/p>\n

The Navy said Yaste was relieved of duty \u201cdue to a loss of confidence in his ability to command the guided-missile destroyer\u201d that\u2019s currently deployed in the Gulf of Oman. The statement didn\u2019t elaborate about why Yaste was replaced.<\/p>\n

In April, a photo<\/span> posted on the Navy\u2019s social media showed Yaste in a firing stance gripping the rifle with a backward scope.\u00a0 AP<\/a><\/p><\/blockquote>\n

It’s\u00a0 not clear whether the photo has anything to do with his relief – one hopes not. Did it look silly? Yep…but something tells me Navy commanders’ personal sidearms are if anything a pistol, not an M-4. One suspects a scenario in which he looked through the scope, said “hey, this ain’t right” and someone said “it’ll only take a few minutes to fix, coming right up” and it quickly turned to “just give me the damn thing, I don’t have time to jerk around”.\u00a0 If the Navy relieved him because they ‘lost face’ or some such, he’s better off somewhere else. And we are in trouble.<\/p>\n

Next up, Kamala Harris is being mocked (what a shock) for adopting different accents when speaking to different audiences.<\/p>\n

Vice President Kamala Harris raised eyebrows during her Labor Day rally in Detroit, Michigan, unveiling what critics call a new “accent.”<\/p>\n

“You better thank a union member for the five-day work week,” Harris told the crowd with a noticeable shift in her dialect. “You better thank a union member for sick leave. You better thank a union member for paid leave. You better thank a union member for vacation time.”<\/p>\n

The Trump campaign drew attention to her “cringe” accent in another clip where Harris tells a rallygoer “Let’s just get through the next 64 days, how about that!?” before letting out a laugh.<\/p>\n

Other X users compared Harris’ accent to the voice of iconic Looney Tunes character Foghorn Leghorn.<\/p>\n

“What did I just watch\u2026 what\u2019s with this new accent?”, Libs of TikTok reacted. “The fakeness and cringe here is off the charts.”<\/p>\n

In July, Harris was slammed for using a fake Southern accent while speaking at a rally in Atlanta. During her 2021 overseas trip to France, critics claimed Harris used a “French accent” while touring a COVID lab.\u00a0 Fox News<\/a><\/p><\/blockquote>\n

Is this similar to speaking in tongues? Is she a linguist?<\/p>\n
