Meet Katharine (Katy) Barnwell. Within Bible translation, she's a legend. Outside of Bible translation, few have heard of her. Few others can even hold a candle to what God has done through Katy's life and work. Join us to learn about her inspirational life and why she is known as the mother of modern Bible translation.Become a Parshall Partner: http://moodyradio.org/donateto/inthemarket/partnersSee omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

On January 25th, Pete Hegseth was sworn in as the 29th Secretary of Defense. He promised to eradicate wokeness from the military and has as his mission to revive the warrior ethos and restore trust in the military and to rebuild it by matching threats to capabilities and reestablish deterrence by defending the homeland. Returning to Crosstalk to discuss this issue was Elaine Donnelly. Elaine is president of the Center for Military Readiness, an independent, nonpartisan public policy organization that reports on and analyzes military/social issues. Since its founding in 1993, CMR has advocated for high, uncompromised standards in all forms of military training and sound priorities in the making of military/social policies.Elaine began by noting that the Biden administration made it clear from day one that they were going to pursue a very liberal social agenda/experiment in the military. They would take the transgender agenda to extremes that weren't even seen under President Obama.This brought the word "woke" to our vocabularies. She defined this as taking progressivism to extremes and posing it with coercion, even if it hurts the institution.Elaine brought her opinions concerning the Pete Hegseth confirmation hearings, how he's been doing on the job thus far, military readiness (including women in the military), Christian and pro-life groups targeted by the Army, access to the military by those with gender dysphoria, and much more including calls from listeners.

Elaine Donnelly of the Center for Military Readiness Center for Military Readiness The post 2133. The Latest Attempt to Draft Women into Military Service – Elaine Donnelly, 7/31/24 first appeared on Issues, Etc..

Elaine Donnelly is president of the Center for Military Readiness, an independent, nonpartisan public policy organization that reports on and analyzes military-social issues. Since its founding in 1993, CMR has advocated for high, uncompromised standards in all forms of military training and sound priorities in the making of military-social policies. Elaine has published articles on military personnel issues in numerous newspapers and magazines nationwide.--Under consideration in Congress is the National Defense Authorization Act for 2025 -NDAA-. A number of positive initiatives are part of the House version. However, the Senate version comes with a very controversial mandate. It would require that for the first time in U.S. history, young women would be required to register with selective service for a possible future draft.--Elaine began by commenting on the state of readiness within our military, how women play into the solution and the mindset behind it. She indicated that although retention has been holding steady, we've had a recruiting crisis taking place for several years. With so many trouble-spots in the world, she's not confident that the current administration understands how serious these threats are. Plus, they are misdirecting millions of dollars of resources to -woke- priorities and actually alienating people.--One example she gave was that of Critical Race Theory -CRT-. She believes that the more we teach CRT, both in civilian schools and the military, it only makes the recruiting crisis much worse, therefore she sees our all-volunteer force as being very much at risk.--Another factor is Diversity, Equity and Inclusion -DEI- policies.

Elaine Donnelly: “The Marine Core is taking the advice of people who think it should be more like the civilian world” PASTOR STEVE CIOCCOLANTI, Pastor, Discovery Church, @cioccolanti Pastor Steve Cioccolanti talks about the Australian government's “national resilience centers”

Americans alarmed at what is being done to our country by the Biden wrecking operation generally have, at some point, asked themselves: Where are the Republicans? The answer most days seems that the majority of them in Congress – not all, but certainly too many – are nowhere to be found. Even worse is when they turn out to be complicit. A case in point is the National Defense Authorization Act. This annual bill sets policies for the Department of Defense. And its present version, already approved by the House of Representatives and awaiting imminent approval in the Senate, enjoys bipartisan support – even though it effectively codifies the Biden Marxist destruction of our military. Elaine Donnelly of the Center for Military Readiness explains the need for fundamentally overhauling the NDAA – and how Republicans must lead the way. Check it out at CMRlink.org. This is Frank Gaffney.

Congress appears set to approve a new requirement that all young women, ages 18-25, must register with the selective service system and thus be subject to the draft.

This talk occurred on March 27, 2017 at The Institute of World Politics. About the lecture: In December 2015, Secretary of Defense Ashton Carter declared the opening of all U.S. military combat jobs to women. The decision followed a long and controversial review of the implications of allowing women into combat units, during which the US Marine Corps and large numbers of military personnel objected to a change in policy. The inclusion of women in combat units is in the early stages of implementation; whether the new administration will seek to revise or overturn the policy remains to be seen. Dr. Anna Simons, a veteran of the debate, will discuss the history of the issue of women in combat units. She will explain why that history is relevant to the current situation, and offer her views on the best way forward. About the speaker: Anna Simons is a Professor of Defense Analysis at the Naval Postgraduate School. Prior to teaching at NPS she was both an assistant and then an associate professor of anthropology at UCLA, as well as chair of the Masters in African Area Studies Program.

He articles have appeared in The American Interest, The National Interest, Small Wars & Insurgencies, Annual Review of Anthropology, Parameters, and elsewhere.
