    John Kirby took a fair amount of backlash after he declared on Tuesday that LGBTQ rights were a "core part" of American foreign policy.

    The former Pentagon spokesman - who now serves as the coordinator of strategic communications for the National Security Council - made the comments during a press briefing on Tuesday, saying that because LGBTQ rights were human rights, the Biden administration viewed them as an important part of American foreign policy.

    "President Biden has been nothing but consistent about his belief - foundational belief - in human rights, and LGBTQ+ rights are human rights," Kirby said. "We again, back to the earlier question, are never going to shy away or be bashful about speaking up for those rights and for individuals to live as they deem fit, as they want to live - and that's something that's a core part of our foreign policy."

    Former Secretary of State Mike Pompeo weighed in, arguing that American priorities might be a bit misplaced. "Our foreign policy should be focused on keeping America safe and prosperous," he said.

    "If Washington could've foreseen this, he prolly wouldn't have crossed the Delaware ..." Steve Cortes added.

    "America has actually become a gay imperialist project. Incredible," Carl Benjamin commented.

    Florida GOP Chairman Christian Ziegler asked, "Can we get our diplomats back to being focused on foreign policy and our military back to developing warriors focusing on winning wars? ... to me, it sounds like a much better option than being forced to learn Chinese."

    Christina Pushaw, rapid response director for Governor Ron DeSantis (R-FL), commented, "The US state department funding drag queen shows for children in Eastern Europe is the only way to push some former Soviet countries back toward Russia. Great job guys."

    Radio host Andrew Willow offered up just one question, asking, "Do we apply this to Islamic nations?"

It has been far too many years since the Woke theology interlaced its canons within the fabric of the Indoctrination Realm, so it is nigh time to ask: Does this Representative Republic continue, as a functioning society of a self-governed people, by contending with the unusual, self absorbed dictates of the Woke, and their vast array of Victimhood scenarios?

  Yes, the Religion of Woke must continue; there are so many groups of underprivileged, underserved, a direct result of unrelenting Inequity; they deserve everything.

  No; the Woke fools must be toppled from their self-anointed pedestal; a functioning society of a good Constitutional people cannot withstand this level of "existential" favoritism as it exists now.

  I just observe; with this thoughtful observation: What will happen "when the Vikings are breeching our walls;" how do the Woke react?

Considering how abjectly corrupt and civilly abusive the Left has become regarding the corrosive effect of their elected leaders; their entrenched and ruling bureaucracy; employing their failed Education Industry as Indoctrinators; their collusive private sector operators, such as the terminally discredited Legacy Media and Big Tech censorship of Free Speech: What will be the best course forward for hardworking Middle Americans, including the Patriot Class?

  Withdraw from society, go underground and plan for a resurgence when it is feasible to do so.

  Work within the confines of better policy by the People's government, once good sense and sanity is restored in the electorate at large, to achieve such.

  Are you a crazy, nut-job Insurrectionist? Everything is perfect within our plan to achieve our intended goals for the Socialist Left.

  Secession to form a true Constitutional Republic.
