This is Sure to Boost Recruitment:

Pentagon Plans to Feed Troops Fake Meat

Grown in Frankenstein Lab

New in PJ Media:

America’s enemies are more emboldened than they have been since World War II. With Old Joe Biden and his henchmen at the helm, the nation is blundering toward an international crisis, or more than one, and couldn’t be less prepared for that eventuality. As the U.S. military has gone increasingly woke, recruitment has dropped to catastrophic levels and shows no signs of recovering.

But there is no cause to be alarmed: the Pentagon has a new plan that is sure to boost recruitment: it’s planning to feed troops fake meat cooked up in a lab — you know, to save the planet. Watch America’s best and brightest flock to join the ranks now!

The Washington Free Beacon broke the news of the plot to feed those who will give their lives to protect us Frankenstein meat on Thursday. It reported that “a Pentagon-funded company is seeking proposals to feed America’s soldiers lab-grown meat in a bid to ‘reduce the CO2 footprint’ at Defense Department outposts.” Lab-grown meat. What could be more appetizing?

The Biden regime couldn’t have concocted a more effective plan if its goal was actually to prevent young men and women from joining the military. The Frankenstein meat scheme comes after the regime’s military has been busy purging the ranks of patriots, pushing Critical Race Theory, and hosting drag shows. And then Pentagon brass wonders why recruitment is down. Talk about not reading the room: isn’t there anyone still left in the military leadership who realizes that it’s young patriots who join the ranks and that all this woke propaganda acts as patriot repellant?

And now the military is compounding all that by giving recruits the prospect of finishing off a day filled with lessons about how America is an evil, racist, imperialist, colonialist, capitalist running dog with a hearty meal of toxic chemicals arranged into something that is supposed to resemble a steak. What could be more appealing? It’s a wonder that the various branches of the Woke Forces aren’t being overwhelmed with recruits.

Despite the fact that this fake meat is almost certain only to make a bad situation worse, Pentagon brass are all-in on the project and are busy forking over your money and mine to pay for Dr. Frankenstein’s culinary adventures: “BioMADE, a public-private company that has received more than $500 million in funding from the Defense Department, announced earlier this month that it is seeking proposals to develop ‘innovations in food production that reduce the CO2 footprint of food production at … DoD operational environments,’ according to an online announcement.”

What they’re doing is working with “novel cell culture methods suitable for the production of cultivated meat/protein,” that is, “lab-grown meat, a product that is still in its experimental phases. This type of meat is grown in a lab from animal cells with the aid of other chemicals.” Hungry yet?

There is more. Read the rest here.

‘Kill the Gays’: Uganda Resurrects Overturned Bill Introducing Death Penalty for Homosexuals

The Ugandan government has announced plans to reintroduce legislation paving the way for the execution of homosexual people, five years after the bill was thrown out by the constitutional court on a technicality.

The bill, dubbed ‘Kill the gays’ within Uganda, will be reintroduced within weeks, according to officials. Currently, Ugandans face life imprisonment if convicted of having sex with another person of the same gender.

Ethics and Integrity Minister Simon Lokodo said the bill is being reintroduced because of allegedly “massive recruitment of gay people” and current laws are too limited in scope.

“We want it made clear that anyone who is even involved in promotion and recruitment has to be criminalised,” he told the Thomson Reuters Foundation. “Those that do grave acts will be given the death sentence."

The minister said he’s confident the measure will get the backing of the two-thirds of parliamentary members required to pass a bill.

Several countries cut their financial support and aid to Uganda when the ‘Kill the gays’ bill was first brought forward in 2014, but Lokodo said the country is prepared to stand up to a fresh backlash over the legislation, adding “we don’t like blackmail.”

In March, Brunei introduced an amendment to its Islamic penal code that included stoning gay people to death, but suspended the measure following international outcry. 

Father of Paris Terror Attack Victim Sues Facebook, Twitter, Google

LONG BEACH, Calif., June 16 (UPI) -- The father of a California college student who was killed in the November terrorist attacks in Paris sued Twitter, Facebook and Google, saying the social media sites have allowed members of the Islamic State to use the social media platforms to further their reach.

The lawsuit, filed in U.S. District Court in Northern California, alleged the companies provide "material support" to the IS, also known as ISIS, ISIL and Daesh. Reynaldo Gonzalez said the companies allowed the IS to prepare and carry out "acts of international terrorism," including the attack that killed his daughter, Nohemi Gonzalez. The 23-year-old from El Monte, Calif., was the only American killed in the attack that left another 129 dead.

"Without Twitter, Facebook and Google (YouTube), the explosive growth of ISIS over the last few years into the most-feared terrorist group in the world would not have been possible," the lawsuit said.

The lawsuit said as of December 2014, the IS had an estimated 70,000 Twitter accounts, with at least "official" accounts. It posted "at least 90 tweets every minute."

Google, which owns YouTube, said, "Our hearts go out to the victims of terrorism and their families everywhere.

"While we cannot comment on pending litigation, YouTube has a strong track record of taking swift action against terrorist content. We have clear policies prohibiting terrorist recruitment and content intending to incite violence and quickly remove videos violating these policies when flagged by our users," the company said.

Twitter and Facebook officials did not comment.

Gonzalez was a California State University-Long Beach senior majoring in industrial design. She was one of 17 students attending Strate College of Design in Paris as part of a semester-abroad program. She was killed while eating with friends at La Belle Equipe.

I've been wondering why Twitter and Facebook haven't been nailed for their supporting role, not just in attacks but also in recruitment for ISIS. This is a conversation that is long overdue.
