DEI hollowed out a generation — and
sapped America’s promise

The wholesale adoption of diversity, equity and inclusion ideology in almost all our major institutions has done untold damage to American society. It was advertised as something noble — a way to open opportunities for women and minorities who had been unfairly denied them. But through a combination of bureaucratic laziness and political malice, DEI soon became something approaching a ban on hiring millennial white males at the beginning of their careers. The harm goes far beyond the wreckage it imposed on those young men. “Affirmative action,” of course, has been around for decades, and anyone who’s worked at a major institution in America, whether government, corporate or academic, has seen

The truth that exposed the DEI people was that most of their positions were public and under the spotlight at all times. Middle to upper management in corporate America to Academia to the government to hollywood actors, they could not hide their incompetence and that led to exposure and the eventual downfall of DEI. If those people had been wise they would have all hired right-hand white men to cover for them. Then again, if they had been wise, DEI would not have been such a failure.

Hiring only on merit has always been "America's secret weapon" which allowed us to beat every country at every thing. Going DEI meant incompetents or at BEST mediocre performers everywhere, sand in the gears of everything, grinding away, an endless internal tax making every outcome worse than it should have been. Now.....let's get past this racist and illegal crap and start promoting and hiring ONLY the actual best and brightest, whatever their sex or race. This is the only way to recover.

Jimmy Kimmel's Christmas message to British
public sparks outrage: 'He should've stayed fired'

Jimmy Kimmel has been slammed as 'out of touch' and a 'joke' after it was revealed that he would be delivering an alternative Christmas Message about fascism to British audiences. The comedian is set to lecture Britons on the rise of authoritarianism on Channel 4's version of the traditional speech, which will run counter to the annual address given by King Charles on Christmas Day. Kimmel reportedly decided to use the speech to poke fun at 2025 as a 'great year' from a 'fascism perspective', in reference to his show being taken off the air for comments he made about the assassination of Charlie Kirk.

Islam is simply incompatible with Western civilization, and that couldn’t be more evident considering the 2025 Christmas and Hanukkah season. We get it rubbed in our faces, time and time again, with one massacre after another. These aren’t just lone gunmen who go nuts. These are organized terrorism cells. Bondi Beach, a massacre allegedly committed by two Muslims (father and son), is only the latest example. San Bernardino, California was the scene of a similar massacre by two Muslims (husband and wife). Nineteen Muslims, backed up by the wealth of other Muslims, gave us 9/11. Only Islam commands its followers to “kill the infidels.”

Intersectionality does not get the attention that Critical Race Theory and Diversity Equity and Inclusion receive, but it’s the source for CRT and DEI. It’s the mother’s milk of group identity theory. Intersectionality received attention about a decade ago when “intersectional feminism” was a thing, but largely faded away from scrutiny as it’s offspring, CRT and DEI captured education and society, particularly post-George Floyd. But it never really went away. Intersectionality was repurposed as the foundation for attacking Israel by building racial and ethnic groups identity coalitions. This photo I took in 2019 at a Cornell student assembly vote (which failed) on an anti-Israel boycott resolution

Mayor Karen Bass and her DEI hires at the Los Angeles Fire Department (LAFD) were caught red-handed covering up their and the state's response to the deadly and devastating Palisades Fire by changing or erasing the records in the city's official after-action report. The deletions and distortions were so severe that the author of the after-action report requested that his name be removed from the publication. The cover-up and retconning of the report, however, will never cover up the 12 deaths, thousands of lives upended, billions lost, and thousands of homes and businesses wiped out by that Palisades firestorm on Jan. 7, 2025.

In this episode of "Try to Control Your Shock and Amazement..." There's no doubt that Minnesota governor and erstwhile Democrat vice-presidential candidate Tim Walz is, shall we say "different"?

Apparently, a group of nearly 100 Minnesota mayors has already learned. So yeah, 98 mayors across Minnesota have sounded the alarm in a no-nonsense letter to Walz and state lawmakers, blistering the state’s fiscal mismanagement. The distraught mayors warned that what

The California race for the Democrat gubernatorial nomination is getting crowded. It's still early, but it looks like Democrat Rep. Eric Swalwell (CA-14) has decided to vie for the worst possible ad. This earned a ton of mockery, and justifiably so. I give you fair warning. (X) Yikes. This is worse than Michael Dukakis and the helmet. Then he made it worse. (X) This isn't even style over substance; it's cringe over substance. He's trying to appeal to younger voters by doing an ad with 13-year-old political influencer, Knowa De Baraso.

Not too many years ago, the bar was one of the pillars of the Republican Party. Abraham Lincoln was the patron saint of lawyers; my father had a lovely portrait of Lincoln, painted on wood, in his law office for many years. But times have changed: now, a large majority of lawyers are Democrats. (Their secretaries, on the other hand, are more likely to be Republicans.) This is part of the broader reshuffling of our political alignment. Lawyers have become Democrats, not because they have been reading Marx or Foucault, or because Barack Obama made brilliant arguments (just kidding), but rather because they realized that it is the Democrats who

Power continues to be restored to tens of thousands of San Francisco businesses and residences following a Saturday outage that affected some 130,000 customers, according to Pacific Gas & Electric Company (PG&E). The outage was caused by a fire at an electrical substation, according to PG&E. By Sunday evening, there remained about 14,000 customers who were still without service, PG&E said. The company said it expects to restore power to all remaining customers impacted by the outage by 2 p.m. on Monday. "PG&E crews will continue to work until all customers have been restored," the company said. While the damage to the substation was "significant and extensive," there were no injures to

WASHINGTON — For Christmas, former President Joe Biden gave everyone scrolling through X something to talk about by sharing a strange family photo — with himself hardly visible. Biden, 83, shared the image of himself and seven members of his family around 9 p.m. on Christmas Eve, writing: “Wishing you a peaceful and joyful Christmas Eve filled with love.” Surprisingly, the gaffe-prone 46th president wasn’t front and center, as is common for family patriarchs. Instead, former first son Hunter Biden, who once used the Secret Service code name “Chieftain,” and his adult daughter Maisy occupy the prime location. The ex-president’s own face is partially visible in a corner behind

For as long as anyone can remember, Americans have been told the same number over and over again. Eleven million illegal immigrants have taken up “space” in the USA. That’s the figure we’ve heard for what seems like decades now, like it’s carved in stone or something. But it’s just not adding up. It seems like that number didn’t budge much through waves of border surges. It feels like we’ve been told eleven million for a really long time, and quite frankly, a lot of people don’t buy it anymore.

As we reported on Tuesday, the Supreme Court refused to stay a lower court order blocking the Trump administration from deploying National Guard troops in Illinois. Many conservatives were outraged, complaining that since the advent of President Trump 2.0, judges at all levels have been doing everything in their power to kneecap his agenda. The Supreme Court has issued some favorable decisions along the way — but not this time. One person who was not amused was a Supreme Court justice himself: Justice Samuel Alito, and his dissent on the case doesn’t mince words about his displeasure with what he sees as "unwise" and "imprudent" determinations made by the 6-3 majority.
