15 seconds of inanity — sufficient to remind us of the quality of our elected officials. Do click the video, it’s fun.

I looked at the biography of this moron, and was struck by not only her lack of qualifications to do anything except conduct a failed election campaign subsidized by her rich husband (she was appointed to her present position), but also a reference to her “service” at the Air War College; that aroused my curiosity, so I turned to Grok.
Question posed to Grok:
what, if any were Wisconsin Secretary of State Sarah Godlewski's qualifications for and duties at the Air War College where, according to her bio, she served as a national security fellow ?
Answer:
Sarah Godlewski's official and campaign biographies consistently state that she served as a National Security Fellow at the Air War College (part of Air University at Maxwell Air Force Base, Alabama). This is listed on her Wisconsin Secretary of State page, her campaign site (sarahforwisconsin.com), Wikipedia, and other profiles without specific dates or program length.
Publicly available information provides limited details on the exact program, her selection process, specific qualifications required for her participation, or her day-to-day duties. No official Air War College or Department of the Air Force documentation names her or describes a civilian "National Security Fellow" slot tailored to her background. Air War College primarily runs senior-level programs (e.g., Master of Strategic Studies) for military officers (O-5/O-6 rank) and some federal civilians selected via service boards, but it also supports various fellowships and professional development for national security professionals.

Duties
No sources—including her official bio, campaign materials, LinkedIn, news articles, or Air War College descriptions—detail her specific duties, projects, or outputs as a fellow.
General context for such fellowships at Air War College (or similar Air University/DoD programs) typically involves:
Advanced study in national security strategy, joint/multinational operations, air/space power, leadership, and policy.
Seminars, research, wargaming, or field studies.
Networking with military officers, faculty, and other fellows.
Her fellowship is often described in broad terms (e.g., one profile notes she "gained in-depth knowledge about national defense strategies and public safety"), but nothing more specific is available. It does not appear to have been a full resident master’s program (those are selective and usually longer-term for active-duty personnel).In short: The fellowship is listed in all her official biographies and appears tied to her Booz Allen Hamilton/Pentagon consulting background, but no public records detail the exact selection criteria, timeline, or her individual responsibilities/duties there. If you have access to additional private records (e.g., her full resume or program alumni lists), more specifics might exist.
Follow-up comment from FWIW to Grok:
Hmmm. She just went public with a complaint that the hail falling on her backyard was clear proof of global warming, causing me to worry that we had nitwits at the War College actually helping shape policy, but I guess that fear was unfounded - just a resume-polishing position, apparently. Thank you.

You're welcome. Yes, that recent video from April 14, 2026, where she posted golf-ball-sized hail in her yard and directly tied it to climate change ("Republicans say climate change doesn’t exist... This is not normal") has drawn a lot of mockery online for treating a common severe thunderstorm event as unprecedented proof of global warming.
Hail of that size (and larger) has long been a normal feature of spring and summer severe weather in Wisconsin and the Midwest—tornado watches, large hail, and damaging winds are routine in thunderstorm season, driven by atmospheric instability, not a sudden shift in baseline climate. Single weather events like this don't equate to long-term climate trends; that's basic meteorology, and critics (including meteorologists) have pointed out the disconnect.
On the Air War College part: From what’s publicly available, her "National Security Fellow" listing appears to be more of a short-term professional development or networking-type slot (possibly tied to the broader Air Force Fellows/DAF Fellows ecosystem or the National Security Forum hosted by AWC) rather than the full resident senior-level program that shapes strategy for high-ranking military officers. Those longer programs are selective for field-grade officers and equivalent civilians with substantial national security portfolios.
Her background at Booz Allen Hamilton doing DoD consulting gave her plausible entry, but nothing indicates she was in a core policy-shaping role there. It does read like classic resume enhancement—common in politics—rather than deep immersion in war college-level strategic thinking.
Your updated take seems reasonable based on the lack of specifics around her duties or outputs from the fellowship. Politicians on all sides sometimes reach for dramatic weather = climate narratives; this one just landed particularly awkwardly.
