Goodbye to DEI, crushed by the weight
of its own hypocrisies

Original Article

Posted By: mc squared, 8/10/2025 1:15:58 PM

President Donald Trump’s executive orders banning diversity, equity and inclusion-related racial and gender preferencing have ostensibly doomed the DEI industry. But DEI was already on its last legs. Half of all Americans no longer approve of racial, ethnic or gender preferences. DEI had enjoyed a surge following the death of George Floyd and the subsequent 120 days of nonstop rioting, arson, assaults, killings and attacks on law enforcement during the summer of 2020. In those chaotic years, DEI was seen as the answer to racial tensions.

Comments:

A government program to ease racial tensions. Yeah, that oughta' work.
And here we are.

Not entirely true. Yes, it was a failure from the start because of giving preference to mental incompetents who drain the system with their very presence. They cause co-workers to have to work more and harder because they cant. They reduce profits because they are dead weight but still get full salary. They increase workplace tension because they are beyond criticism and those who dont worship them are punished. All that is true, but it still never would have died had it not been for President Trump ending it for the federal government and showing the sheep that it could be done. Most men are not brave, but one brave man can inspire others.

DEI in some way will hang around for a while. If God forbid the Dems get back they will unleash it again. I think I may become a hermit if they do.

DEI is still with us, only now forced underground, to emerge when the Democrats regain power.

DEI is still evident in commercials and print advertising, not to mention most the the police videos on Youtube.

A poster is correct about DEI in commercials. You cannot find one with any groups, picnics, parties etc. without a black or two included That's fine, and it occasionally is true but not normally. People tend to tribally hang together. There might a rare white featured with a black group event, but I haven't seen one. I am sure most blacks would be bored and uninterested in a white party anyway. These ads are seen for what they are...value signalling, manipulative etc., but most of us view them as just silly and not convincing anyone to buy their product.

Half of all Americans never approved of the racist policies called DEI but 100% of the lying media reported that if you didn't approve you were racist or worse. Now that most know the media is lying they are less afraid to give their real opinions.

The DEI overweight females may have had the exclusive on ads for a few years but Sydney Sweeney made them all look fat and stupid and AEO stock rocketed up almost immediately. In the workplace, DEI was a self-defeating system. The more DEI you had the worse the business did. As for the federal government, look how easy they made it for Donald Trump to achieve tremendous improvements.

President Donald Trump has been very effective at eliminating DEI (a better term for it should have been DIE). It is gone in the US Military which was the pace of choice to have your dingalings removed for free. The tip of the spear were our Universities. The Federal Government has defunded all grants to Harvard, UCLA, Northwestern, and many others for discrimination against Jews. Tho settle UCLA is required to pay a yuge fine but also have a government czar reviewing that all admissions are merit based. For example, no more Dreamer admissions at in-state fees plus full ride fellowships. This will kill DEI.

I haven't seen the numbers yet but this is sure to help military recruiting. A friend's son just joined the US Army. Big, smart kid. I suggested he go for being an officer like my dad did during the big war. We need more like him and fewer "woke" Flags in charge.

A government agency has advised British business owners not to shame shoplifting suspects by posting pictures in their shops. Information Commissioner’s Office (ICO) has issued advice warning that it “may not be appropriate” to post pictures of shoplifters, the Times of London reported. According to the data watchdog, it would be “appropriate” for businesses to forward information to police or to share a suspect’s identity with managers of fellow shop owners.[snip] The advice comes in the wake of police demanding that a vintage clothes shop owner in Wales take down a sign describing shoplifters as “scum” as it might be taken as “provocative and offensive”

Word salads - they're not just the appetizer or palate cleanser anymore. They're what Democrats have for dinner. It's not a new phenomenon in American politics, and members of both parties have certainly been caught speaking words and phrases in search of a coherent thought. Joe Biden used to uncork speeches that were heavily seasoned with cul-de-sac sentences and ideas, and that was even before cognitive decline sidelined his run for reelection in 2024. But by the bitter end, when he had to step aside for Kamala Harris to pick up the mantle, it was just embarrassing and sad.

Upon taking office in January 2021, former President Joe Biden wasted no time in opening the border to any and all comers. In one of his first moves as commander in chief, he ridiculed Donald Trump’s efforts to build a wall and simply abandoned millions of dollars of equipment and supplies that had been intended to fortify our southern boundary. [snip] The global government-surplus auction house that listed unused components of President Donald Trump’s border wall under the Biden administration told Fox News Digital on Friday that it plans to coordinate with the Trump administration to return some of the materials to the federal government.

The scale of the effort to “debank” Donald Trump because of pressure from Biden administration regulators went far beyond JPMorgan and Bank of America, The Post has learned. At least 10 other financial institutions closed their windows to the billionaire real estate tycoon over his role in the Jan. 6 Capitol Hill ­melee. The moves came in the months after Trump left the White House in 2021, sources inside the Trump Organization told me. The stunning scale of the blacklisting is being revealed here for the first time.

On Friday, Texas Attorney General Ken Paxton scored a quick victory after he asked a court to put a hold on Beto O'Rourke and his group, Powered by People, from funding or fundraising for the runaway Texas Democrats. Tarrant County District Judge Megan Fahey handed down a temporary restraining order within hours. Paxton's move was part of an effort to force the Texas House Democrats to return after they fled the state to break the quorum so that a redistricting plan that could help Republicans would not pass. That caused Beto O'Rourke to pitch a hissy fit on X.

Google said it’s working to fix a bizarre glitch that has rattled users of the tech giant’s much-hyped Gemini chatbot — after it spit out self-loathing messages while struggling to answer questions. X user @DuncanHaldane first flagged a disturbing conversation with Gemini back in June – including one case where it declared “I quit” and moaned that it was unable to figure out a request. “I am clearly not capable of solving this problem.

Massachusetts Gov. Maura Healey is the latest Democrat to performatively threaten retaliatory redistricting, despite her state’s congressional delegation consisting of zero Republicans to remove.

Abbott, with President Donald Trump’s encouragement, insists that deep-red Texas’s congressional maps allow Democrats outsized representation.

Rep. Jasmine Crockett (D-TX) is a barrel of laughs. She’s feisty and doesn’t take any crap from the GOP. She’s perfectly willing to allow her detractors to view her as mentally ill. She’s ready to deliver haymakers—the problem is that her trainer is trash. The Atlantic did a lengthy profile piece on the Democratic congresswoman, some of which is run-of-the-mill Americana: she was educated privately, reportedly subjected to racism in college, got interested in the law because of those incidents, and went about building her profile by defending Black Lives Matter defendants. She had a brief stint in the Texas legislature before sharking her way up to Congress.

The US military is preparing to activate hundreds of National Guard troops to Washington, DC as a part of President Trump’s sweeping federal crackdown on crime in the nation’s capital, according to authorities. Trump has yet to make a final decision about the activation of federal troops, but the National Guard is currently readying to deploy them, two US officials with knowledge of the operation confirmed to Reuters. The preparation comes as 120 FBI agents from across the country have already begun patrolling DC streets overnight and backing up area cops at carjacking hot spots, despite many lacking local patrol work training, The Washington Post reported.

NEW YORK — Affordability was at the center of Zohran Mamdani’s winning primary campaign for New York City mayor. President Donald Trump has become the focus of his general election bid.

He’s also tying opponents Andrew Cuomo, Eric Adams and Curtis Sliwa closely to Trump, adopting a classic Democratic general election playbook by casting two fellow Democrats and the GOP nominee as the president’s

A pair of Texas friends died less than three months apart after ingesting pills laced with a dangerous new synthetic opioid, and now their mothers are begging US officials to sound the alarm on the little-known drug that’s up to 43 times more lethal than fentanyl. The young men both died this year after swallowing different pills secretly tainted with the deadly, often Narcan-resistant opioids known as nitazenes, which have begun seeping into the US at an alarming rate. Lucci Reyes-McCallister, 22, died January 26 near Houston, Texas, after taking a pill labeled as Xanax that was actually laced with N-pyrrolidino protonitazene, an emerging form of nitazene.

Donald Trump has sent an unmistakable message—Barack Obama’s White House portrait has once again been moved. It’s been tucked away where visitors won’t see the grinning image of a president whose tenure was marked by scandal, deception, and failed policies. Unfortunately, it’s not in the garbage. CNN reports the portrait now sits in an out-of-the-way corner, away from guests who don’t need a reminder of Obama’s disastrous legacy and his effort to frame Trump with collusion charges. This is more than redecorating — it’s a statement about accountability and honesty in presidential legacies.
