Mark Milley\u2019s defense of them; the NSA allegedly surveilling Fox News host Tucker Carlson; a recent National Intelligence Estimate on global warning; the State Department touting \u201cInternational Pronoun Day\u201d and \u201cIntersex Awareness Day\u201d; the suspension of former NSA General Counsel Michael Ellis for political reasons; and the FBI infamously using falsified information to secure warrants to spy on Trump campaign associate Carter Page.<\/p>\n<figure id=\"M-ROS-B2\" class=\"a8d\"><\/figure>\n<p>\u201cThe list goes on and on,\u201d Nunes said. \u201cMeanwhile, the international threat matrix does not take a time out as our national security agencies become enthralled by critical race theory and pronoun etiquette.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>He said China was becoming increasingly&nbsp;aggressive toward Taiwan, in addition to its campaign of intellectual property theft, espionage, currency manipulation, corporate&nbsp;coercion, and cybercrime against the U.S.<\/p>\n<p>Nunes also noted China\u2019s recent hypersonic missile testing, which&nbsp;reportedly took the IC by surprise, and&nbsp;noted the continuing fallout from the Biden administration\u2019s withdrawal from&nbsp;Afghanistan, including empowering the Taliban and the Americans and allies left behind.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cUnfortunately, we can\u2019t counter a hypersonic missile launch with better pronoun usage, and a deeper understanding of white rage won\u2019t help rescue Americans stranded in Afghanistan,\u201d Nunes said.<\/p>\n<p>He also cited the&nbsp;spread of ransomware attacks on U.S. targets, an unknown number of security threats entering America through our southern border, continuing Russian aggression toward its neighbors, and advances in the nuclear weapons programs of North Korea, Iran, and other malign regimes.<\/p>\n<figure id=\"M-ROS-B3\" class=\"a8d adSo\"><\/figure>\n<p>\u201cI\u2019d argue that woke obsessions are the proper jurisdiction of faculty lounge Marxists, not our national security agencies,\u201d he said. \u201cThe politicization of our national security apparatus is utterly destructive. It has severely eroded trust in institutions that have long received bipartisan support.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>He concluded:<\/p>\n<blockquote readability=\"11\">\n<p>The Intelligence Community, the military, and other national security bodies have traditionally been colorblind meritocracies, where the most capable people move up rapidly through the ranks. The effectiveness of these organizations will unavoidably suffer when merit is devalued in favor of any other consideration.<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n<p>\u201cI urge all the directors here today to stay out of politics and concentrate exclusively on deterring our enemies and winning wars. As we learned in Afghanistan, America is not unbeatable. We have real enemies and they mean to do us harm,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThey have no interest in global warming or race and gender intersectionality\u2014they closely watch us every day to find weaknesses that would enable attacks on our citizens and our homeland. Our defense against them rests, to a large extent, on you, and I hope your priorities will match the urgency of this fraught moment in our history.\u201d<\/p>\n<p><strong><em>Follow Breitbart News\u2019s Kristina Wong on <a href=\"http:\/\/www.twitter.com\/kristina_wong\">Twitter<\/a>&nbsp;or on <a href=\"https:\/\/www.facebook.com\/kristinawongreporting\">Facebook<\/a>.<\/em>&nbsp;<\/strong><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>House Intelligence Committee Ranking Member Devin Nunes (R-CA) implored the leaders of the intelligence community at a hearing on diversity Wednesday to stay out of politics and focus on defeating &#8230;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":19,"featured_media":2315279,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_mo_disable_npp":"","fifu_image_url":"","fifu_image_alt":"","footnotes":""},"categories":[],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-931707","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/931707","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/19"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=931707"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/931707\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/2315279"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=931707"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=931707"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=931707"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
