The United States Military Academy has just eliminated all Cadet clubs and activities for POC. Most of these have existed for decades like the Society of Black Engineers. They were there when I was a Cadet in 1987. All of the religious ones remain. This isn’t DEI. It’s white Christian Nationalism.

There are two accounts Prehistoric Wirral and Anglo-Saxon Wirral who are linked to a woman who a friend is planning to take legal action against for harassment and she has also been making slanderous claims about me online. Please approach these accounts with caution. #wirral #medievalsky
