My son is a graduate of Cal Maritime. He took great pride in going there. He has gone on to a very successful career in the maritime industry. He will not visit the campus today. The DEI crew has taken over.

A sample of events being held at the campus:

October 12th Day 2: Community Building

Panel: Queer Maritime History: Unveiling Intersectionality at Sea

Panelists: Jonathan Kissan, Heather Feeney, Moderator: Erika Nelson

Throughout history, the maritime industry has witnessed the presence and significant contributions of LGBTQ+ individuals, yet their stories have frequently been relegated to the shadows. This panel seeks to rectify that oversight and delve into the untold narratives, shedding light on the vital roles played by queer individuals in shaping maritime history.

What Sealift problem?

Just have the same company running the Dali container ship handle it. They did such a great job in the Chesapeake Bay at the Francis Scott Key Bridge... oh, wait a minute. Forget that.

--- "...putting more players on the field...."

A Navy run by a Biden-nominated woman with academic credentials of a BS in journalism and a master's degree in Organizational Management -- promotes the LGBTQ+ Obama-Biden-Harris policies. Like another admiral promoted by Biden -- transsexual Robert/Rachel Levine -- it seems the potential "volunteers" of an "all volunteer" force aren't running to be commanded by "diversity, equity and inclusion" politics. Gosh. what a surprise there....

Better we should stay home.

Dunno. I suspect young men don’t want to get on board a boat with a bunch of predatory homosexuals that will rape them without fear of punishment.

But that’s just me. Admiral lgbtq there might have other ideas.
