President Biden on Wednesday took part in a traditional ceremony to mark a change of command for the U.S. Coast Guard.

The following report is from Yahoo News:

And for the first time, a woman took the oath as commandant of the Coast Guard, as Adm. Karl L. Schultz was relieved by Adm. Linda Fagan.

In doing so, Fagan became the first female officer to lead a branch of the American armed forces.

This is a big deal. It’s about time.

Biden said at Coast Guard headquarters in Washington

The president said that when Secretary of Defense Lloyd Austin first told him of Fagan’s selection, he replied: “What in the hell took you so long?”

Fagan graduated from the Coast Guard Academy in 1985 in what was just the sixth class that included women.

Biden commended Fagan on her decades of service, during which she served on all seven continents, beginning as an icebreaker and rising through the ranks to become second in command.

She has demonstrated exceptional skill, integrity and commitment to our country. There’s no one more qualified to lead the proud women and men of the Coast Guard.

Biden said

Her ascendance to the top Coast Guard post, the president added, shows to young people that there are “no doors closed to women.”

Fagan is the 27th commandant of the service — and first woman.

We’re getting past the ‘firsts.’ I hope sometime soon we’re talking about the second female commandant, and the third female commandant, and that we’ll have a Black male commandant.

We, as a service, need to reflect the society that we serve, and creating opportunity for everyone in the service is important.

Fagan told the New York Times earlier this week.

A Woman Has Been Nominated To Lead The U.S. Army


AUTHOR COMMENTARY

As for my people, children are their oppressors, and women rule over them. O my people, they which lead thee cause thee to err, and destroy the way of thy paths.

Isaiah 3:12

Here is another shining example of America’s fallen and decaying imperial military destroying itself; though, Coast Guard is not overly huge and is not spoken of as much.


[7] Who goeth a warfare any time at his own charges? who planteth a vineyard, and eateth not of the fruit thereof? or who feedeth a flock, and eateth not of the milk of the flock? [8] Say I these things as a man? or saith not the law the same also? [9] For it is written in the law of Moses, Thou shalt not muzzle the mouth of the ox that treadeth out the corn. Doth God take care for oxen? [10] Or saith he it altogether for our sakes? For our sakes, no doubt, this is written: that he that ploweth should plow in hope; and that he that thresheth in hope should be partaker of his hope. (1 Corinthians 9:7-10).

  • The US Military has deteriorated into a cesspool of wickedness and corruption! The moral of these troops is below the freezing point-once they graduate basic training or become green berets, they drink in excess of go to strip clubs (not all of them but it’s popular amongst some)
    And the profanity is just stifling including the worst of blasphemies Jesus BLEEPing Christ that has got to be the worst (I rebuked my chief one time because he said that terrible blasphemy and he listened thankfully he just said sorry don’t apologize to me I’m not Jesus apologize to Him.)
    Of course let’s not forget murder, rape, and torture are also committed by OUR troops as well even.

    Also brother Bryan was making a video against joining the military and one of the verses he used was Isaiah 59:5 can somebody please explain to me the meaning of the cockatrice eggs, spiders, and the viper and the context and how it’s applied-I’m curious and lost on it.

    • Chief? You must’ve been part of the Navy- The last rank I received from NJROTC was Chief Petty Officer. How did you become bold to rebuke people, especially those in higher authority? I’ll be nearing my one year celebration of being saved- I’m decent when it comes to doctrine, but when it comes to rebuking people, especially my co-workers, I get scared, and I’m garbage. Any advice?

      Oh, and if you suggest fear God- How do I increase my fear in the Lord?

  • this day in age it really doesn’t matter if we have a male or female in charge! Men think they are women and women think they are men. As for me and my house we will listen to the Lord, what he says is the way it is. Men are the leaders and the head over us women! Now ladies don’t beat me up over what I said here because you know it’s truth! We women are the help mates, we have special jobs we don’t need to show them that we are masculine because we are not, we are feminine !

    • Amen infinity, Shari!
      Women are to be FEMININE, and they’re to be HELP MATES, and being submissive to their husbands is a command from the LORD it does NOT mean that husbands beat and treat their wives like garbage or property no no and no, women are weaker not inferior.
      Then come the 1920s with feminism’s mother-women’s suffrage, women started putting pants on and cutting their hair and wanting to rule over husbands and be equal to men.
      One of the reasons why Great Satan America is going to fall so hard it’ll go down in the history books.

      Also, that disgusting song “anything you can do I can do better I can do anything better than you,” I wanna slam my head through a wall. I HATE THAT SONG!!!

        • Yes, that’s true, Shari. Love her in every which way I can including rebuke or harsh warning if necessary.

        • A wife that won’t let anybody Willy Nilly into the house, she keeps the house and she educates the children AT HOME she’s not some career woman working hard to become CEO and she drops her child off in a daycare center-that’s a NO NO according to God’s word.

          I desire that kind of woman who is my age close to my age and she desires the King James Bible, rejects organized religion, and she cares for our children at home as well as educates them while I have work.

          • my hubby and I just celebrated 22 years of marriage last week, he is my best friend, we dated for 15 months and in that whole time I think we have had 3 arguments. We are pretty much on the same page about things, and it is so nice to be able to have a Godly marriage! We both were in our early 30’s, when we decided to marry and God has blessed us ever so much, which I am thankful for!

          • Yes. That’s beautiful to hear. The world is the same everywhere including where I live, India!

        • Unless you’re a Jew, you should refrain from saying “Yeshua”. Saying Jesus in a different language than your native tongue makes you more pompous.

          It’s like how Catholics Priests think they’re better than everyone because they can speak a little bit of Latin- they think it gives them more power over the average English speaker.

    • We are helps meet to men, and foreshadowing the true body of Christ, as the first woman was taken by God from the body of man. Scripture is replete with both the ‘strange’ and the ‘virtuous’ woman, typifying those who are submitted to the righteousness & order of God according to the scriptures, or to lust, and self-directed.

      For many in these days, that realization comes late & with much consequence which the Lord removes or allows to remain according to his discretion & knowledge of what it takes for us to remember where we came from, & to keep us humble and sensitive to the need & plight of others. Disobey and/or refuse to heed his warning, and the ‘lessons’/trials are repeated until we ‘get it’ or get taken out early as written. Again, at his discretion.

      I remember when I was under conviction and I ended up listening to a southern gospel song called ‘We Want America Back’…from those who have no self-control (works!) etc. I had no idea of the complexities of the false professing church….even the ‘conservative’ ones, but I knew I could not be my own God, was broken in the mess of my last self-salvation plan, & had already prayed accordingly. I told God that I couldn’t be my own saviour, no matter what the ‘counselors’ and such were telling me (and watching their lives: realized that neither could THEY).

      That song actually brought me to the end of my resistance & doubt, lack of trust due to long personal failing & experienced betrayal, violated trust. I actually prayed again to the God I told myself I wasn’t sure I believed in….., but Lord, I don’t want to be one of those self-righteous people….and all I got back was ‘yes, but it’s about me, not them’…..I submitted & the Lord saved me.

      Much of my confusion leading me into sin & keeping me from Christ was from the religious world that I perceived as ‘Christian’ appealing to my flesh for ends & nicolaitan lording over others rather than toward scriptural ends & fellowship in the body……and, then, in that world & deceived by pentacostal flavored and ‘conservative’ evangelicalism.

      It took growth & maturity, with many trials, & coming to the hated and despised King James onlyism position….getting ‘loved out the door’ as a so-called ‘pillar holding up progress’, or a ‘cater-pillar creeping in the door & out the door, but never submitting to DO anything (interpret that as refusing to submit to the nicolaitan gurus of social justice globalist one-worlder, any Bible ecumenical new Romanism blindly and as a slave submitting to the masters) to come to a firm and solid stand upon the Rock and word of God, able to stand alone & apart from the following of men with their philosophies & traditions.

      They also called us ‘tantrumming toddlers pounding on our highchair trays, demanding to be fed’ when we were supposed to be feeding ourselves. That one backfired on the nicolaitan masters, for it was continuing in the word that gave us the hunger for real meat and preaching in the first place…..and outside that system we found it with King James Bible believers, defenders and preaching….so soon as we’d been prepared & lost all hope in the phony counterfeit and subtle antichrist.

      And, yes, all of those trials came as a result of some ‘hook’ or sin remaining in my flesh as written in James, or in my husband’s, as the yoke is truly shared ….but Romans 8 is just as true, the Lord is faithful, & he knows the attitude of our hearts, & knows his own….knowing even those who will in time come to him, as he knows the beginning from the end.

      To anyone reading this, tempted to despair….or saved & doubting your salvation, I would say to you: Don’t try to ‘fix yourself up’ before coming to him if you are under conviction & called to salvation….just trust him & come, acknowledging sin, need & inability to self-justify or earn salvation without or apart from Christ’s finished work received in your behalf, and continue in the word. And if doubting, halting in some sin or temptation as one of the Lord’s truly redeemed…..that you give up the misery & immerse yourself in the convicting word.

      The quickening Spirit and power of God through that word and prayer will do the rest as you submit to him first, and according to the scriptures: not according to men unless their leading is proven by that same word & testifying, manifesting experience demonstrating their own allegiance. Freedom indeed.

      • And I worded that clumsily…..in general women were created to be helps meet to men, but in particular and one by one, we’re to be helps meet to ONE man. Either our father insofar as what they ask of us is not wicked scripturally defined, or for the married, to our husband.

        Some nicolaitan pastors & such have broadened that to break God’s order & to usurp authority which is not theirs…..just like Rome and any of the Babylonian orders. ‘Plowing with other men’s heifers’ so to speak, and the confessional or darkness of the ‘counseling’ room or social media echo-room of everything sinful and antichrist are huge parts of that.

      • Thank you. Every now and then I find myself doubting my salvation. I am getting more into the Lord’s precious word.

        May the Lord Jesus Christ bless you.

    • Amen, Shari, and you’re welcome!
      Yes, protect the wives and the children!
      Not some effeminate little pansy Nancy boy that says “let’s try to get to know him, maybe he’s going through a hard time and has a miserable life and blah blah blah!” Girly boy!

  • No doubt a sorted, safe-to-promote, Corinthian-educated sodomite philosopher who knows her place after compromising truth & integrity to ‘fit in’ and to ‘get ahead’ progressively in Babylon’s antichrist order hierarchy!

    More ‘pride-used-to-be-bride’ month antichrist posturing, boasting & bellering with plenty of attending perversity & filth. Did you see the article about the first time rainbow-casing bullets issued to the Marines for their progressive pride, new transformed military, celebration June 1st??

    Isaiah 3:12 As for my people, children are their oppressors, and women rule over them. O my people, they which lead thee cause thee to err, and destroy the way of thy paths.

  • It was Eve in the Garden of Eden whom satan tempted first, she fell and then Adam.
    satan knew that Eve (Woman) was weaker and went through her first in order to bring down Adam (Man)

  • When I was in ROTC, every single woman that was put in charge was incompetent, all of them. They’d either take things too far or they would just be too meek to lead, it was one or the other. I thought it was just a military program issue, but the same thing happened when I worked at secular jobs.

    In short, there’s a very good reason why God wants women to be helpmeets to men- It’s because that’s what He designed them to be. Ever noticed in old 1950’s America, women worked as secretaries, seamstress, maids, and cooks? That’s because they’re exceptionally well when it comes to assisting and housework. I am in no means excusing my Sisters in Christ to go out and get a job, but I just want you to be aware of the natural gifts that God has given you.
