Secretary of Defense Lloyd Austin and Chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff Gen. Mark Milley are reported to have ordered Nellis Air Force Base in Nevada to cancel a drag show that was to be held on base Thursday to mark the start of “Pride” month. The ‘family friendly’ drag show being held for the third year in a row at the base. Orders were to cancel the show or relocate it off base.

The move comes two months after Austin and Milley told Rep. Matt Gaetz (R-FL) at a Congressional hearing they did not approve of drag queen story hours military bases.

Gaetz called out Milley and Austin this month when a ‘cry for help’ was posted about the Nellis drag show.

Drag shows should not be taking place on military installations with taxpayer dollars PERIOD, especially when they’re openly targeting children to attend.

I’m demanding immediate answers on why these drag shows are still occurring despite @SecDef Austin and General Milley… pic.twitter.com/CobVLfaoSd

NBC News was first to report the Pentagon’s orders (excerpt):

Pentagon leaders have stepped in to stop a drag show scheduled for Thursday at Nellis Air Force Base in Nevada, according to two defense officials and a U.S. official.

The show, which was in celebration of Pride Month, was approved by Air Force leaders, but Secretary of Defense Lloyd Austin and Chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff Gen. Mark Milley told the Air Force it is not Defense Department policy to fund drag shows on bases and the show should be canceled or moved off base.

Drag shows and events on military bases have become a politically contentious issue in recent months, with conservative politicians and pundits arguing the military should not be spending taxpayer money on them.

…“Consistent with Secretary Austin’s congressional testimony, the Air Force will not host drag events at its installations or facilities. Commanders have been directed to either cancel or relocate these events to an off-base location,” an Air Force official said when asked about the Nellis event.

“Per DoD Joint Ethics Regulation (JER), certain criteria must be met for persons or organizations acting in non-Federal capacity to use DoD facilities and equipment. As Secretary Austin has said, the DOD will not host drag events at U.S. military installations or facilities. Hosting these types of events in federally funded facilities is not a suitable use of DOD resources,” deputy press secretary Sabrina Singh said in a statement.

After the March hearing, Gaetz gave Milley documents on drag shows at bases:

Gen. Milley asked @RepMattGaetz to give him the articles the congressman referenced on drag queen story hours and shows on military bases, claiming he was unaware of them.

The person who posted the cry for help said tweeted Wednesday night and thanked the members of Congress who stepped up, but it appears Nellis still has “Pride” events scheduled for June that target children.

From the Nellis Air Force Base LGBTQ+ Pride Council:

“We have received notification that the DoD has directed commanders not to host drag events on military installations.”

Thanks to those members of Congress who stepped up and took swift action and created positive change!… https://t.co/K0sM0cHyuU pic.twitter.com/VEKyGnLaXE

James Van Der Beek, star of the late 1990s TV drama ‘Dawson’s Creek’ recently shared a video on social media where he slams Biden and the Democrats over Biden’s refusal to participate in a Democrat primary debate.

In the video, the actor seems to question who is actually running the country and suggests that the DNC is thwarting democracy.

It looks like he might be having a red pill moment.

FOX News reported:

Actor James Van Der Beek bashes DNC for refusing to hold Biden debate: ‘How is this a democracy?’

Actor James Van Der Beek blasted the Democratic National Committee for planning on foregoing primary debates between President Joe Biden and other presidential contenders for 2024.

“I mean, what the hell? How is this a democracy?” Van Der Beek said in a viral TikTok filmed on Memorial Day with over 49,500 likes.

“I cannot get over the fact that the Democratic National Committee is saying there will not be a debate to decide the nominee for president. Are you f—ing kidding me? There’s no debate?” Van Der Beek said.

“There’s no debate over an 80-year-old man who, if he lives, will be the oldest sitting president in the history of the country? And if he doesn’t live, has a vice president whose approval rating is worse than his?” he added, taking a shot at Vice President Kamala Harris…

“This guy has obviously declining mental faculties,” the actor said. “You’re putting him up in front of a podium with flashcards telling him who to call on and what the questions are going to be. And you’re telling us there’s no debate? What about the will of the people?”

Watch the video below:

Actor James Van Der Beek posted a video on Instagram TORCHING the DNC for not allowing Biden to be challenged on a 2024 debate stage:

If Biden and the Democrats are losing Hollywood liberals like Van Der Beek, they’re in serious trouble.

Expect the left to try to destroy this actor now, for speaking his mind.
