Intelligence dossiers on the heifers’ and their comrades’ heavy-handed Social Justice™ jihad against fatphobia.

Pete Hegseth fed up with obese generals

At a recent assembly of the military top brass, Department of War boss Pete Hegseth informed the attendees that their gluttony will no longer be tolerated in the Golden Age:

It's tiring to look out at combat formations or really any formation and see fat troops. Likewise, it's completely unacceptable to see fat generals and admirals in the halls of the Pentagon and leading commands around the country and world. It’s a bad look… and it’s not who we are. So whether you're an Airborne Ranger or chair-borne ranger, a brand new private or four-star general, you need to meet the height and weight standards and pass your PT test.

We’re looking at you, Milley, you filthy communist haza.

Maybe transmute some of that white rage you apparently feel into energy for HIIT.

Of course, it's arguably not necessary for generals to be physically fit. Their main job, realistically, is politicking and lobbying for whatever far-off war du jour, not in the national interest but which requires sacrificing young American lives to wage, so that defense contractors that will later hire them as board members.

However, as Hegseth notes, if nothing else, it’s not a good look.

Trump administration to deny visas to obese migrants

On account of them being a public health nuisance, the Trump administration has advanced a directive to embassies worldwide that obese migrants be denied visas.

Via The Independent (emphasis added):

On the same day that Donald Trump unveiled plans to slash the consumer cost of weight-loss drugs, the president issued a new directive banning obese foreigners or people with diabetes from obtaining visas to visit the United States.

The new guidelines instruct visa officers to reject applicants who may be eligible for public benefits, as part of the president’s hard-line crackdown on immigration.

The guidance, which was issued by cable to embassies across the United States… identifies people with obesity or diabetes as being a “public charge.”

“You must consider an applicant’s health,” the order read. “Certain medical conditions — including, but not limited to, cardiovascular diseases, respiratory diseases, cancers, diabetes, metabolic diseases, neurological diseases, and mental health conditions — can require hundreds of thousands of dollars’ worth of care.”

Morbidly obese rapper settles with rideshare over denied service

Full-time rapper and part-time disability rights activist Dank Demoss, who literally weighs almost 500 pounds, recently settled out of court a lawsuit she filed against Lyft for failing to figure out how to fit her inside of what looked on video like a very modestly sized sedan — a Toyota Corolla or something of that nature — the shocks of which were manifestly ill-equipped to handle the load.

Demoss successfully sued the company in the sense that she recently copped some kind of payout for the extortion scheme, the proceeds from which Dank used to purchase a specially-outfitted van to ferry her enormous heft hither and tither, which can only serve to encourage more of this litigious behavior and the “nothing is ever my personal responsibility” mentality that plagues the pampered fats of America.

Via Fox 2 Detroit (emphasis added):

A lawsuit over a Lyft driver refusing to give a Detroit passenger a ride because he said she would not fit in his car was settled earlier this summer, according to court records.

Dajua Blanding's attorney, Zach Runyan, confirmed that the discrimination lawsuit was "resolved," but could not speak further on specifics of the case…

Blanding, who raps under the name Dank Demoss, requested a Lyft to a Detroit Lions watch party in January, but when the driver arrived and saw her, he told her that he was unable to give her a ride due to her weight. Demoss was recording the encounter.

"I can fit in this car," she can be heard saying, to which he responded, "Believe me, you can't."…

The driver then told Blanding his tires couldn't handle the weight, apologized, and mentioned ordering an Uber XL - a larger vehicle. He added that he would refund the ride so she wouldn't be charged.

"I've been in cars smaller than that," she previously told FOX 2. "I just want them to know that it hurt my feelings."…

When FOX 2 spoke to Blanding's other attorney, Jonathan Marko, after the lawsuit was filed earlier this year, he said that denying someone a ride based on their weight is legally the same as denying someone because of their race or religion.
