Republicans are six weeks away from taking over the House, but they’re already previewing a clash with the Pentagon over its Biden-era policies.

This week, would-be House Speaker Kevin McCarthy said Congress should delay the National Defense Authorization Act until next year, citing the need for the new majority to crack open the bill and try to roll back policies meant to make the service more inclusive.

“I’ve watched what the Democrats have done in many of these, especially in the NDAA and the wokeism that they want to bring in there,” McCarthy told reporters on Capitol Hill this week. “I actually believe the NDAA should hold up until the first of the year, and let’s get it right.”

The unity of government which constitutes you one people is also now dear to you. It is justly so, for it is a main pillar in the edifice of your real independence, the support of your tranquility at home, your peace abroad; of your safety; of your prosperity; of that very liberty which you so highly prize. But as it is easy to foresee that, from different causes and from different quarters, much pains will be taken, many artifices employed to weaken in your minds the conviction of this truth.  George Washington - Farewell Address

I don't know - - - -

GOP leaders usually operate with alligator mouths and hummingbird *ssholes. :shrug:

I hope their actions speak a lot louder than their words,but I will believe it when I see it.

SEEMS to ME,that the professional pols in the alleged Republican Party LOVE to "talk a good game" to get elected,but never play the damn game.

Maybe because they don't want to lose "the game" as "political talking points",or maybe because they need to talk up issues like this in order to get more cash contributions in their offshore accounts,and have no intention of actually doing it.

I honestly hope I am wrong about ALL of this.
Anyone who isn't paranoid in 2021 just isn't thinking clearly!
