The Army says former private Chelsea Manning will lose her military healthcare benefits despite President Obama’s commutation of her prison sentence. “If Pvt. Manning is discharged with a dishonorable discharge, she will lose her entitlement to [military] benefits, including gender-transition care at [military] medical treatment facilities,” Army spokeswoman Cynthia Smith told USA Today Wednesday.

The vice president-elect echoed the words of Sen. Tom Cotton (R-Ark.), who on Tuesday said Obama treated "a traitor like a martyr.” "Private Manning is a traitor and should not have been turned into a martyr, as Senator Cotton said. Private Manning's actions compromised our national security, endangered American personnel downrange, compromised individuals in Afghanistan...

Espionage and Treason are Future Murder I'm listening to what I think is Bach's greatest work, Mass in B Minor Jordi Savall, along with the Goldberg Variations Murray Perahia, as Bach's other greatest. My Russian friend, Venjamin, who has more music in his little pinky than I have in my whole body, but he doesn't really do the 'Highbrow' thing, asks me, 'Do you think there are any modern composers as good as those classical ones in the 17- and 1800s?' My answer is, 'Yes, I think Prokoviev was terrific'. (Lieutenant Kije was a terrible film, that promoted immorality,...

This BS about choosing what sex you want to be is getting under my skin. So the traitor Manning wants to cross dress and believe he is a woman well that is his mental condition. I suppose if he want ed believe he is a goat then we should all call him a goat. Check his DNA. It says he is a male NOT A WOMAN. These trannies are mentally ill not in the wrong body. Period.

NBC reports that she is on President Obama’s “short list” for commutation. The news has sparked a groundswell of support for Chelsea online.

Talk about bad timing. After the election, Barack Obama and the Democratic Party have stoked hysteria over Russian hacking of the DNC and John Podesta’s e-mails. Obama just kicked 35 Russian diplomatic officials out of the country over the allegations, turning it into a major diplomatic rift. Just as this contretemps appears to have reached its zenith, two notorious figures who stole massive amounts of diplomatic and national-security data and exposed it to the world have asked Obama to pardon them, as Politico’s Josh Gerstein reports — one of whom now lives under Vladimir Putin’s grant of asylum: Four of...

The military’s decision in September 2016 to allow her to receive...
