America’s Nuclear Weapons Must Be Queered
Yes, this is an actual proposal from one Sneha Nair, a Soros, and Qatar-funded Biden-Harris special assistant at the National Nuclear Security Administration. This brilliant young woman aims to eradicate the “white supremacy” in the nuclear field and “queer” nuclear weapons as part of an overall effort to apply a regimen of DEI to…wait for it…”explore how DEI can contribute to stronger security at nuclear facilities.” How has that worked for Boeing?
Is Ms. Nair an improvement over the last brilliant nuclear official from the administration—the transvestite and kleptomaniac—whose specialty was stealing luggage with women’s designer clothes and then wearing the stolen merchandise in social media posts or at parties with his transvestite friends? Well, she’s arguably worse, if that’s possible.
It’s not exactly certain how one “queers” the nuclear arsenal even as this notion may be worthy of the awarding of an advanced degree at most universities. It may involve fashion and makeup or teaching nuclear weapons to read to children in public libraries, or perhaps for really patriarchal and stubborn ICBMs, gender transition surgery because missiles shouldn’t look so phallic.
One can only imagine how an interview might have gone with this nitwit and the late Admiral Hyman Rickover, who grilled prospective nuclear submarine commanders and could make grown men cry…not that that’s a tall hurdle nowadays.
Of course, now that the Biden-Harris administration has imposed woke indoctrination throughout America’s armed forces, and where servicemen and women were encouraged to have their fingernails and toenails painted in the rainbow colors of the LGBTQ+WTF flag – is there any doubt that a Harris-Walz administration would double-down on such lunacy and further diminish the strength and effectiveness of America’s national security infrastructure? There’s an expression that ends with “…and find out” that comes to mind.

If we could only weaponize stupidity, we could drop Ms Nair on our enemies. She’d set them back centuries.
I’ll bet she has a closet full of participation trophies.
Rarely does one witness circular logic that loops that tightly.
“We have to acknowledge that DEI helps in order to study how DEI helps.”
Nancy Pelosi, we’ve found your next speechwriter. That is, if Kamala Harris can spare her.
She has been infected with the Kamalaism virus. She needs to be quarantined immediately.
Done.
I would have no objection to painting every Minuteman missile in bright friendly colours.
… an improvement over the last brilliant nuclear official from the administration who was a transvestite and kleptomaniac whose specialty was stealing luggage with women’s designer clothes …
I resemble that remark!
I feel that it has been “Queered” (sic) enough already!
Ms Nair, as a member of the administrative state, is a neo-colonialist exploiter of the American people.
Not just stupidity: Malice is certainly among her motives. She and leftists in general are far less worried about foreign threats than they are about domestic “enemies” who persist in speaking Unapproved Thoughts.
Remember when Obama fired a bunch of generals who he believed would be insufficiently amenable to his leftist agenda?

Queer, from the OED:
from Wiktionary:
“His erratic behavior at that sales meeting really queered the deal.”
The Oxford English Dictionary hasn’t been thoroughly “queered” apparently. Seems queer that it hasn’t.
Caveat: I was consulting a 1971 edition, but it seems that their website has not yet been corrupted.
The OED management needs to go to prison for such a glaring omission. Think of the pain and mental anguish they are causing to those who insist on queering of things like nuclear weapons. I’m verklempt.
Psst! They’re called struggle sessions at reeducation camps, comrade.
The only way I can think of to “queer” any type of weapon or other mechanism is to make sure it doesn’t work.
Anybody got a translator for the gobbledygook quoted in the linked article? I have little to no idea what she means.
I have only a limited view into the world of nuclear weapons via my son-in-law, who is a nuclear engineer (PhD) who works at a nuclear weapons laboratory to develop computer models of nuclear reactions. He and his coworkers seek to understand what happens during a nuclear reaction (at the sub-atomic level) so that people can predict how the aging stockpile of nuclear weapons will behave should they ever have to be deployed. In other words, will the aging weapons perform as we expect them to? What little he and his coworkers can discuss outside the confines of his laboratory buildings is debating and challenging each other on some mathematical simulation or some particle physics principle tested in a small-scale experiment. They are concerned with getting correct answers that represent physical reality. DEI is irrelevant.
I know some DEI people consider the very concepts of a “correct answer” and “physical reality” to be creatures of “white supremacy,” but those concepts are reality in a business as serious as nuclear weapons (and bridge-building and building construction and any number of other tasks in the physical world). By the way, they have discovered that some of what they have learned about the workings of nuclear reactions can also be applied to other topics that involve lots of particles moving in seemingly random ways, such as understanding the dissipation of a pollutant or the spread of an airborne virus.
They take security very seriously at his laboratory. He almost missed the birth of his second child because he was in a “no phones” area when our daughter went into labor, a labor that turned out to be very quick, and our daughter had trouble getting a message to him.
Most of his coworkers are white people, except for the many people of south Asian descent, enough that there’s a south Asian focused grocery store in town. How come south Asians are so good at the characteristics of “white supremacy”? Why don’t more black Americans pursue PhDs in engineering and science? Could it have something to do with the culture in which many of them are raised? Or the lousy schools many of them are required to attend as children?
There are some foreign-born workers there, but do you really want someone with ties to the Chinese Communist Party or the Iranian government mucking about in an American nuclear weapons lab? So this new administrator is nuts to say that we should stop discriminating against anybody with foreign ties.
My son-in-law’s biggest employee problem is finding people willing to work. Too many of the young graduate students coming through the lab just aren’t willing to put in work. So the last thing he would want is some non-work-related criteria governing who does and does not work on his projects. Despite my son-in-law’s generally leftist views, he would have no patience getting saddled with someone who can’t keep up with the math and physics he needs.
Send her to Wuhan for study.
Mostly gobbledygook, but a few points can be extracted:
He better hope they never find out, or they’ll kick him out of the Left.
Once one’s entire education consists of learning to live in an ideological box making references to racism, sexism, and ___phobia, the only way to explain things is by analogy. A hurricane or tornado is not about the physics of temperature and pressure but about wind raping the land. Inflation is patriarchal oppression. Bank robberies, wars, riots are the inevitable kinetic outcome of systemic inequality.
And nuclear weapons are transphobic.
Not necessarily. Alan Sokal, of the Sokal Hoax which debunked postmodern pseudo-scholarship, is a Sandinista-supporting commie, and as far as I know nobody has attempted to cancel him.
Pretty sure that’s what they’re thinking, too.
That’s an interesting point. I’ll keep it in mind.
Of course, if you can’t beat ’em, join ’em. For example, they are engaged in a colonialist enterprise to exploit the people.
I think of it as double secret reverse white heteronormative patriarchal supremacism–everything is the way it is because white people think the way they do. White mental power is of a higher dimension which is how it can cause “systemic” adverse effects and why the thoughts, actions, habits, skills, and knowledge of persons in the victim classes are all powerless to change what the white cognitive state has wrought. The worst ones are the white people who claim to feel guilty for possessing a share of the race’s collective innate superpower but still retain tenure, a summer home, and an EV and all the while secretly thinking bad thoughts about the victim groups that has the effect of keeping them in the systemic oppression matrix….
I figured there would be a matrix in there, somewhere.
The Gaystapo will be descending upon them shortly.
I wonder if she is in a writer’s group with Mayor Pete.
