Trump Forces DEI Supporters to Root Out DEI Policies, Programs, & Staff
« Reply #1453 on: January 22, 2025, 11:51:22 AM »
This piece lives halfway down the post/page, exploring the Trump's whipsawing of all things DEI related:

They’re literally ignoring the biggest story of the decade, if not of our lifetimes. While the top headlines obsessed over Elon’s limb placement, I had to travel all the way to the India Tribune to find the full story. It was headlined, “Trump signs executive order ending diversity discrimination in federal government, private sector.” You’d think it would have been bigger news.

The Tribune’s sub-headline added, “The order revokes previous diversity and inclusion policies, calling for a merit-based approach to opportunities and ensuring compliance with federal civil rights laws.” Even that was a pitiful understatement.

The truth is, Trump just nuked DEI. From orbit.

It was like The Apprentice met The Presidency. Yesterday, Trump signed his second consecutive DEI order, Tuesday’s even more detailed and specific than Monday’s, and his Office of Personnel Management issued a tart memorandum. It informed all federal agencies that, by no later than 5pm tonight, they must close DEI all offices, delete all DEI websites, cancel all scheduled DEI “training,” terminate all DEI contractors, place all DEI staff on paid leave, and then prepare for staff reductions by the end of business on the last day of this month, January 31st.

Boom! You’re fired. Axed, laid off, made redundant, severed, separated, and terminated with prejudice.

Trump’s team isn’t just messing around, either. It’s not just performative. They can try to re-name DEI into something else, to try burying it in the bureaucratic depths, but it won’t work this time. Trump’s team is already onto that little game:

They’ve also required every federal agency to list their DEI employees as of November 5, 2024 —election day— just in case they were smuggled into other jobs after Trump’s win in a cryptic effort to save them from getting fired and keep the resistance going.

Behold the example email attached to the OPM’s Memo, for sending to all federal employees, whose week is already off to a rocky start, what with having to come in to the office today:

Note that, according to this email, any employee who knows about efforts to disguise DEI using “coded or imprecise language” and who doesn’t report it can face “adverse consequences.”

In other words, just give us a reason. We dare you.

But there was so much more. Yesterday’s order also rescinded a long list of “opportunity” orders stretching back all the way to 1965 (the “Equal Employment Opportunity” order signed by President Johnson). It ordered all federal procurement agencies to stop requiring federal contractors to comply with “diversity” or “affirmative action” policies, but rather to encourage those contractors to “advance the policy of individual initiative, excellence, and hard work.”

Agencies must now prioritize speed, efficiency, and cost-effectiveness in contracting, and discard any social goals. Imagine that.

The Department of Education was directed to send an anti-DEI memo to all educational institutions receiving federal subsidies.

President Trump also encouraged the private sector to follow the federal government’s lead and “end illegal D.E.I. discrimination and preferences and comply with all federal civil-rights laws.”

He also directed federal agencies to investigate corporations and foundations to ensure compliance with the law. Every agency was directed to single out nine potential lawsuits against major players—forming a vast compliance dragnet:

As a part of this plan, each agency shall identify up to nine potential civil compliance investigations of publicly traded corporations, large non-profit corporations or associations, foundations with assets of 500 million dollars or more, State and local bar and medical associations, and institutions of higher education with endowments over 1 billion dollars.

That single paragraph was a strategic masterstroke that will cause a mad scramble at the biggest and most influential institutions in the country to immediately revise their employment policies. It will immediately shut up and shut down all internal and external DEI messaging at these institutions, as they scramble to get out of the compliance crosshairs.

By decentralizing the huge job of identifying potential lawsuits down to the individual agencies, the Trump administration multiplied its enforcement powers. The order was literally an anti-DEI multiplier.

🔥 It seems so obvious now that we can see it. This kind of bold, fearless action was literally the only way to really root out the sunken tendrils of the racist DEI practices that had become irretrievably enmeshed into all our public and private institutions. Trump’s executive orders will trigger a kind of rapid immune response, the country’s projectile vomiting of long-standing, unfair, woke hiring practices.

What a time to be alive.

Trump’s orders weren’t gentle. They weren’t polite, compromising, or a mere shift in policy; they were a battering ram aimed directly at DEI’s institutional infrastructure. Trump isn’t doing the work—the system is being forced to purge itself, violently and suddenly, of deeply embedded practices that many people sadly concluded were untouchable.

The genius in Trump’s orders was in its bare-knuckled aggression. They didn’t nibble around the edges or cautiously test the waters; they are kicking down the DEI door and setting the woke house on fire. Institutions that leaned heavily on DEI to shield their mediocrity or dress up their faux ideological conformity are now scrambling to protect themselves, not out of principle, but out of sheer self-preservation.

The speed and scope of the reaction to the orders could achieve in mere months what it might have taken decades of lawsuits and debates to accomplish. The DEI regime is being forced to confront its own contradictions, and whether you view it as a restoration of fairness and merit, or as an overdue reckoning of justice, it’s undeniably bold.

While Trump just effortlessly unleashed a package of executive orders that were institutional dynamite and change everything, yesterday corporate media busied itself by refereeing Elon Musk’s alleged Nazi Wave Olympics.

DEI is so over. Put a fork in it; it’s done.

🔥 These DEI orders, memos, and draft emails weren’t created in the last two days during the Administration’s rush to move into DC offices. Trump’s Cabinet hasn’t even been approved yet. These swift management actions—like placing federal DEI staff immediately on leave and directing the agencies to promptly terminate diversity-related programs—demonstrate a meticulous, coordinated strategy that could not possibly have been formulated overnight.

In other words, they’ve been working on this for a long time. And somehow, they managed to keep it all under wraps. No leaks. Think about that.

Now compare what we’re seeing to Trump’s first term.

Actually, never mind Trump’s first term. This strategic master class is like nothing we have ever seen from a new presidential administration. Trump just invented a brand new benchmark, and has redefined what it means to hit the ground running. His political enemies are so far behind that they are vanishing from the rear-view mirror. It’s not just that Trump is already scoring touchdowns while the Democrats are still warming up; he’s landscaping the football field and installing more Trump-only touchdown zones.

He’s re-writing the rules in real time. Critics point to how easy executive orders are to undo, but they miss the point entirely. By outsourcing the work, Trump is reconfiguring society itself. And since it’s all based on the existing legal framework provided by the Constitution, the Supreme Court, and federal civil rights laws, it will be heinously difficult to oppose.

The speed —such as requiring things be done today— defeats lawfare. A lot of stuff will be moot long before it can get in front of a judge.

And remember, this is only one of Trump’s initiatives. The same strategic thinking is suffused throughout the rest of the many, many orders that are right now transforming the Executive Branch of the United States government.

Lobach - I believe she was know prior to crash as being Lesbian and this was
« Reply #1457 on: February 03, 2025, 09:30:35 AM »
celebrated - I could swear she looks familiar

" Female Pilot Rebecca Lobach’s Entire Social Media Scrubbed before Army Released Her Name – So What Are They Hiding? "

right - she is a lesbian ; obviously covered up so media and military would not play into the Trump insinuations. 

I recall seeing this about her in past somewhere even before the crash  Somehow she looks familiar and I think she was posted about being lesbian

That said ,  not clear DEI had anything to do with crash or she was incompetent.
Not clear what the crash causes were. 

I don't care if she was lesbian or not as long as she met all the requirements but who knows the facts.  I sure don't .

I’m hearing from pilot buds the chopper was at the wrong altitude. Haven’t been able to confirm, but I’m hearing there is a chopper corridor along the Potomac that tops out @ 200 ft, though she was at 500. I’m gonna wait ‘til the NTSB says something authoritative, but suspect that will prove to be a component.

FYI, IIRC the general aviation flight ceiling in VA/MD/DC area is 500 ft, with one reason for the low ceiling is so a small aircraft can’t get to say 5000 ft (the ceiling beyond which O2 masks or pressurized cabins are needed) & then performing a kamikaze dive. A lot more potential energy in a craft diving from 5000 instead of 500, and A LOT of radars and rapid response aircraft ready to ruin a pilot’s day if they are at the wrong height or vector in that area.

I mention this as if she was at the conventional 500 ft rather than in the 200 ft Potomac corridor, that could explain things.

As for the scrub … utterly par for the course and something that signals to MSM to not poke their nose into her backstory, a point that ought to be hammered on not because I give a rat’s ass about her backstory (assuming it’s not an element of this collisions) but do think it’s yet another tell that the MSM reflexively drop their thumb on the full & accurate scale if these sorts of fixes are telegraphed. It would be fascinating—and telling—if someone could describe just how the scrub occurred. Unless the chopper pilot had a designee to handle, for instance, her FB page should she croak, someone w/ substantial access creds would have had to do the scrubbing, and any tech doing so would be sure to CYA with their reporting chain lest they be accused PID malfeasance.

My wife tells me she was on stage with Biden in his final days at the Medal of Freedom ceremony.

Hamas Belt Tightening
« Reply #1463 on: February 10, 2025, 08:59:08 PM »
Perhaps it’s too early to connect these dots, but:

@EYakoby

BREAKING: AXIOS reports that Palestinian president Mahmoud Abbas has issued a decree revoking the payment system to families of Palestinian prisoners in Israeli prison or to families of Palestinian terrorists (AKA "Pay for Slay").

(Odd how this happens right after USAID funds drastically cut and Trump wants to clear out Gaza and the West Bank.)

Ah, okay. This is about Hamas no longer offering payments to people imprisoned after attacking and killing Israelis and others. Where should it go?

The “Diversity” Dialectic & its Devious Designs
« Reply #1467 on: February 12, 2025, 09:35:13 AM »
VDH is on to something here: the goal of DEI was to increase the class size of those claiming they had systematically been denied access to equal opportunity. As the percentage of the black population is only 12%, the only way to lasso a majority was to increase the size of the group claiming some form of oppression. BHO did just that an voila, he created a political coalition capable of winning elections along the way and, once in power, that could institutionalize extra-constitutional means of retaining power:

Editor’s note: This is a lightly edited transcript of today’s video from Daily Signal Senior Contributor Victor Davis Hanson. Subscribe to our YouTube channel to see more of his videos.

Hello, this is Victor Davis Hanson for The Daily Signal. I want to talk today about the controversy over diversity, equity, and inclusion, but in a little different strain. I want to compare it with affirmative action.

Affirmative action was created during the civil rights era, 1964 and ’65, and then, now, it has been with us almost 60 years. But remember what it was originally designed for—to address the historic racism and oppression of black Americans through slavery and Jim Crow, de facto segregation in some of the Northern states, but de jure segregation in the South.

And it said that because of that African Americans had not been given equality of opportunity. Statute never said anything about quotas or equality result. That’s something that came in later. But the point I’m making, affirmative action was envisioned for this historic minority that made about 12% of the population.

It was challenged in the courts for years. And it was often challenged by not just so-called whites but Asians as well because their SAT scores—to take the example of college admissions—or their GPAs were often 200 or 300 points, in the case of the SAT, and GPA, 4 versus 3.2, in the case of GPAs.

By that I mean, African Americans were being admitted with less impressive statistics than whites, but especially, Asians. And then something happened to this paradigm. When the Obama administration came in, they saw that that constituency was not big enough for the type of woke agenda that they were envisioning.

So they recreated it. They used a word, “diversity.” And diversity then would morph in, during the Obama years, to “diversity, equity, and inclusion.” They added the “equity and inclusion” so you didn’t obsess on race, which was the obsession. But they didn’t want you to think about that. So then, all of a sudden, anybody was diverse on one qualification: They were not white.

That posed millions of problems because who is white in a multiracial society? Everybody has different heritages. Is it one-quarter, one-sixteenth? Should we use the one-drop rule of the old Confederacy? How do we stop fakers like Sen. Elizabeth Warren, etc.?

But all that aside, you can see what Barack Obama was trying to do. He was trying to say that the number of people who had been victimized was no longer 12%. It was 30%. And it was based on the idea of systemic racism. If you could not find overt racism in the 21st century, then you had to put adjectives in it. It was systemic. It was institutional. It was insidious. It was like air.

You can’t see air, but you know it’s there. So you had to have air detectors, like DEI detectors, and they would tell us you have to have trigger warnings or safe spaces or microaggressions. This was all an effort to build a victimized class. And what happened was, in the old days, there was an economic element to affirmative action.

It was clear that African Americans’ income was not comparable to non-African Americans. But under DEI, you could be an immigrant from the Punjab, you could come in from Argentina, you could come in from Taiwan, you could come in from almost any area and there were actually 16 different ethnic groups with higher incomes than whites.

So what happened? People began to say two things: “This person who we are hiring because we want to be diverse actually has more money than the people who are being excluded and has more opportunity,” No. 1. And No. 2, “They have no history of systemic exclusion.”

How does somebody who comes across the border from Oaxaca on the first day claim that he’s been a victim of insidious American racism? How does somebody who comes from Taiwan make the argument that he has been a victim of systemic racism in the here and now?

So, you had all of these immigrants coming in, and remember, DEI was, by intent, to coincide with a record number of immigrants—55 million, 16% of the population.

So what did we do? We created a new group and the result of it was—for a while, eight years—we got record numbers of Democrat voters among Asians, who had been traditionally conservative, under Hispanics, blacks, Native Americans. And then it blew up. And Donald Trump blew that up because he exposed the ridiculousness of it.

These people are trying to divide us into a Marxist binary between victimizers and victims. But the people in East Palestine were victims. The people in North Carolina were victims. And some of the victimizers are not white. And so, it’s so convoluted now. And it makes no sense in terms of economic advantage or historic racism or bias, or who is what.

Let’s just get rid of it and start to treat people as people and make identity politics incidental and not essential to who we are.
