House Democrats just saved Joe Biden and Secretary Lloyd Austin.
On Tuesday, the House Armed Services Committee voted to block an investigation.
They were looking to pursue an investigation to dig into the new “woke” policies being implemented by the DoD, but the efforts were blocked by Democrats who currently control the committee.

Rep. Andrew Clyde (R-GA) was leading the effort to investigate the Pentagon’s new policies.
Clyde wanted to do a search for all policies containing terms such as transgender, gender identity, gender transition, gender reassignment, gender-affirming, gender neutral, gender dysphoria, nonbinary, gendered language, safe space and inclusive language.
Rep. Sara Jacobs (D-CA) is defending the policies, stating, “This is not something to poke fun at.
“Many of you know I have a trans sibling and gender nonconforming sibling, and I can tell you the conversations we have in this body, the things that young people hear us say about their identities, it has real consequences on their mental health.”
Rep. Adam Smith (D-WA) added, “We have had discrimination across this country against many different groups.
“At a time when we are in fact short of personnel, excluding personnel for reasons other than their ability to do the job… forget about the discriminatory aspect of it or the bigoted aspect of it, it’s just stupid to not include people who could capably help the military because of past discriminations and bigotry.”
Rep. Matt Gaetz (R-FL) responded, “The woke ideology that Secretary [Lloyd] Austin has advanced has harmed our military.”
