(Natural News)—An erstwhile officer of the U.S. Space Force (USSF) recounted to Congress that he was terminated for criticizing the branch’s diversity, equity and inclusion (DEI) policy.
Former USSF Lt. Col. Matthew Lohmeier testified before a panel of the House of Representatives on Jan. 17 about “the ongoing Marxist inspired efforts to subvert and weaken our military and broader American society.” His criticism of these endeavors led to his termination in May 2021.
During his testimony, Lohmeier said he was fired from his command “for writing a book trying to reverse the trend of the overt politicization of the uniformed services.” This book, titled “Irresistible Revolution: Marxism’s Goal Of Conquest & the Unmaking of the American Military,” was eventually published and even became an Amazon best-seller.
“Specifically, I criticize the military’s DEI trainings which, at my own base, were illegally occurring despite an executive order from the commander-in-chief,” he told lawmakers. “The DEI industry is steeped in critical race theory (CRT) and is rooted in anti-American Marxist ideology.”
Lohmeier recounted that prior to promoting his book, he “submitted a formal written complaint” to the USSF’s Office of the Inspector General. He outlined several violations that were occurring because of the DEI training, such as illegal race-based discrimination.
Unfortunately, his complaint was never investigated and was ultimately dismissed by Lt. Gen. Stephen Whiting, the head of U.S. Space Command. Lohmeier later “received a written dismissal of [his] complaint from Whiting personally” after just two months.
According to the former USSF officer, top officials at the Department of Defense “requested $140 million to expand work diversity initiatives in fiscal year 2024.” This amount, he continued, is “double what it’s been the previous two years.”
But Lohmeier ultimately warned lawmakers that such initiatives come with dire consequences. “I watched DEI trainings divide our troops ideologically and, in some cases, sow the seeds of animosity toward the very country they had sworn an oath to defend,” he said.
Woke agenda dividing the U.S. military
Last June, Lohmeier spoke with the Epoch Times about the dangers of the woke agenda in the military. He said then that the woke agenda backed by the Biden administration weakens and divides the military – ultimately compromising national security.

“Americans should know that when someone signs up to wear the uniform of their country, they’re trained early on to leave political baggage at the door and to be rather apolitical while acting in an official capacity,” Lohmeier said. “There is something that supersedes those topics for men and women in uniform – and that’s a particular mission in support of national security.”
He pointed out that service members often avoid discussing political topics as they focus on the sole mission of protecting the nation. But nowadays, most service members striving to remain apolitical “are finding themselves in a hyper-politicized and sexualized work environment at the moment.” If they oppose the environment, “they are labeled as politically partisan and simply ‘part of the problem’ and are ostracized for it.”
Lohmeier noted that under the Biden administration, “left-wing activists have essentially been given a bully pulpit” they use to promote ideas such as CRT, DEI standards and the LGBT agenda. “These agendas strike at the values of the military and its role in defending the Constitution,” he said.
Moreover, he continued that such ideas are “divisive in nature because not everyone aligns with or agrees with those agendas” and are viewed by some as a distraction from the military’s proper priorities.
“While the military has always been – by and large – a reflection of broader American society, there is something very different going on right now in this current administration,” Lohmeier said. “At the forefront of the cultural dialogue in the military is what has been driven by policy.”

Three Reasons a Coffee Gift Set From This Christian Company Is Perfect for Christmas
When you’re searching for a Christmas gift that’s meaningful, useful, and rooted in faith, you don’t want to settle for anything generic. This season is filled with noise — mass-produced products, last-minute picks, and trends that fade as quickly as they appear. But one gift stands apart because it blends genuine quality with a message that matters: a coffee gift set from Promised Grounds Coffee.
This small Christian-owned company has become a favorite among believers who want to support faith-driven businesses while giving friends and family something they’ll actually enjoy. Here are three reasons a Promised Grounds Coffee gift set may be the most thoughtful and impactful present you give this year.
1. It’s Truly Delicious Coffee
Too many “gift-worthy” coffees look beautiful in the package but disappoint when the cup is poured. Promised Grounds takes the opposite approach — exceptional taste first, thoughtful presentation second.
Their beans are sourced with care, roasted in small batches, and crafted to bring out a rich, smooth flavor profile that appeals to both casual drinkers and true coffee lovers. Whether someone enjoys bold, dark roasts or lighter, more delicate blends, every sip reflects quality that stands shoulder-to-shoulder with the biggest specialty brands.
Simply put: this coffee is good. Really good. Some say it’s absolutely fantastic. If you want a gift that won’t be re-gifted, ignored, or shoved in a cabinet, this is it.
2. It Spreads the Word While Serving a Real Purpose
There are many Christian gifts that are meaningful… but not exactly practical. There are also useful gifts that have nothing to do with faith. Promised Grounds Coffee bridges both worlds beautifully.
Each gift set delivers an encouraging, faith-centered message through its packaging and presentation — a simple but powerful reminder of God’s goodness during the Christmas season. The cups are especially popular and serve as a daily reminder of the blessings from our Lord. At the same time, the product itself is something people will actually use and appreciate every single day.
It’s a gift that uplifts the spirit and fills the mug. A gift that points loved ones toward Scripture while still being part of the normal rhythm of life. And in a culture that increasingly pushes faith to the margins, giving a gift that quietly but confidently honors Christ can make a deeper impact than you might expect.
3. It’s Affordable, Valuable, and Elegantly Presented
Many people want to give something meaningful without breaking their Christmas budget. Promised Grounds Coffee strikes that perfect balance — the sets look and feel premium, but the price remains accessible.
The packaging is classy, clean, and gift-ready, making it ideal for:
- Family members of all ages
- Co-workers or employees
- Church friends or small-group leaders
- Hosts, neighbors, and last-minute gift needs
It’s the kind of gift that feels more expensive than it is — and more thoughtful than most of what you’ll find on store shelves.
The Perfect Blend of Faith, Flavor, and Christmas Cheer
A coffee gift set from Promised Grounds Coffee checks every box: a gift that tastes amazing, conveys your faith, supports a Christian business, and brings daily enjoyment to the person who receives it. In a season when so many gifts are forgotten, this one stands out for all the right reasons.
If you want a Christmas present that reflects your values and delivers genuine joy, Promised Grounds Coffee is the perfect place to start.
Affirmative, Col. Lohmeier — Pentagon and US Milleytary are communist organizations and he was the last non—traitor officer in them!
God bless, sir!!!
The young LC would not be expected to know this, so no criticism intended towards the patriotic American, but anyone over the age of 50 should be well aware that DEI are simply COMMUNIST POLITICAL MINDER SYSTEMS, exactly like those from Mao Zedong’s Cultural Revolution, Stalinist Russia, Fidel’s Havana, etc.
Gutter trash like Milley, Austin, Gilday, MacKenzie, Whiting, Burt, Kirby, Ryder can only be described as filthy traitor maggots —- the zero quality and caliber of America’s high command is truly frightening — none of these twitwits would have qualified for several of my old ENLISTED military intelligence units!
Anyone who has read of the shocking USS BONHOMME RICHARD situation, or the USS CONNECTICUT Incident, is aware how truly abysmal the US military is; referencing the Bonhomme Richard: at least 4 or 5 admirals and 30 or more senior ranking Naval officers should have been COURT–MARTIALED, instead those sorry squids tried to frame the lowest ranking indivual — — replete with absolute and DISHONEST character assassination — — completing ignoring the party who incriminated themselves and may have been guilty, then was mustered out with a general discharge (less than honorable)! And they were abjectly aided and abetted by the trashy, sleazy garbage known as the NCIS and ATF who should have been flushed down the toilet many times over!!!
The DoDo is a communist organization — and any who aren’t pathetically lazy and read the Sussmann Indictment from Special Counsel John Durham realizes how the Deep State has full control of government agencies today!
God Bless the intrepid, honorable and superior Lt.Col. Lohmeier, he should have been a general, instead of the present sordid crew!
One other important point: every rube wants to blame Obama, who certainly is among the guilty, but President Reagan dramatically improved the US military★ and handed off a Jedi Knight–level establishment to Bush #1, but it was Bush #1, Clinton, Bush #2 and Obama who completely morphed the military into a disaster — especially Clinton, Bush #2 and Obama!
★ONLY two presidents truly both improved military organizations, readiness and national security: President John F. Kennedy and President Ronald Reagan!
