They are up to making our Defense capabilities ruled by union bosses the Communists will control— the Chinese Communists.

Union stewards soliciting National Guard members to join unions can be detained in small cells until they see the light of reality

That’s the end of the National Guard. I wonder what else the Biden administration will allow to die in this country.

The judge is in direct violation of the UCMJ. Judges do not make law.

It's pretty basic. You cannot change the law by agreement in a lawsuit. Not even DOJ.

"Allow"? More like seek and destroy. Their creed is apparently if something works, break it.
