President Donald Trump ‘s administration moved Tuesday to end affirmative action in federal contracting and directed that all federal diversity, equity and inclusion staff be put on paid leave and eventually be laid off.
The moves follow an executive order Trump signed on his first day ordering a sweeping dismantling of the federal government’s diversity and inclusion programs that could touch on everything from anti-bias training to funding for minority farmers and homeowners. Trump has called the programs “discrimination” and insisted on restoring strictly “merit-based” hiring.
The executive order on affirmative action revokes an order issued by President Lyndon Johnson, and curtails DEI programs by federal contractors and grant recipients. It’s using one of the key tools utilized by the Biden administration to promote DEI programs across the private sector — pushing their use by federal contractors — to now eradicate them. More
i don’t want to look @ the ****** that perpetrated the jfk hit
Does anyone have a time machine?
Mr. President, please stop, it’s just too much winning.
In 1965 President Johnson stated: “I’ll have those n!@@ers voting democratic for the next 200 years”
Looks like he only made good on that promise for 60 years or so. Over the past half century plus, democRATz have ruined the Black family and destroyed their neighborhoods while destroying America with every trick in the book! Now trending: People are wizing up to democRAT shenanigans and telling them to go pound salt.
Mr. Peabody does have the wayback machine. It would make a great meme to see Mr. Peabody and Sherman use the way back machine to go and visit LBJ and set him straight on the so-called great society like they did with all the other historical figures they enlightened in their cartoonish way.
It’s the power of not having to face re-election. President Trump doesn’t care about the political damage. He cares about generating results for the American people over the next four years so that the majority of voters expect to keep winning rather than what the democrats always deliver, benefits to some at the cost of all.
Remember all the brouhaha about the Heritage Foundation’s “Project 2025” during the campaign? Dems and fellow lefties all shrieking that Orange Man was going to NUKE EVERYTHING!!11! And President Trump’s supporters and PDJT himself saying, “No-no-no! Nothing to do with us! We have no connection to Proj. 2025!!11!”
I think what we’re seeing the form of a pair of EOs is what Project 2025 was a smoke screen for. Brilliantly done, gentlemen and ladies, brilliantly done!
BTW, in his Coffee & COVID, Jeff Childers has an excellent grand overview of the DEI nuking. He also points out that the MSM are all hyperventilating over Musk’s arm gestures instead of telling the world just how devastating was President Trump’s blow to DEI, racial set-asides, affirmative action, and the whole rotten racist woke mess. Recommended.
So… Much… Awesomeness!!!… The Affirmative Action abomination should’ve been killed by Reagan. It’s been a toxic piece of government sponsored racism and sexism for far far too long. It should’ve never been implemented in the first place. And the moral cowardice of the GOP for letting it stay in place so long should not go unnoticed
The tale of two crooked a$$holes: Biden cheated his way into the presidency whereas LBJ murdered his way into the presidency!
As an employer, this is huge. And there’s no need for it anymore.
As an American, this is perfect. When I enter any office, store, hospital, etc., I won’t be worried that the person working there obtained their position by anything except the quality of their work.
America was turning me into a racist because I could no longer have trust in the competence of those serving me. Thank God for Donald J. Trump!
pale people are now as “good” as those are not pale, imagine that!

He should probably make it retroactive for TV commercials and advertising agencies.
There are indeed capable folks who will FOREVER be questioned because others sharing similar “features” are hired or promoted simply because of those “features.” Abolishing ALL affirmative action hiring or promotion benefits EVERYONE, especially those who have endeavored to acquire skills, etc.
Graceia – this ONLY applies to federal hiring, etc. I would remain concerned as medical schools and the other critical gatekeepers in our society still hate merit, still hate white males, etc. and will still advance and promote the incapable simply because they check all the right boxes.
repeat: pale people are now as good as people who are not pale. wondered why i could not get hired.
@ MrLiberty:
If I read it correctly, it also applies to the hiring, etc., practices of anyone getting govt money, especially contractors working at/for govt agencies. Are there any medical schools that aren’t sucking on the govt teat one way or another?
