DEI hollowed out a generation — and

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 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.

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"? And if you're like me, you still shudder at the mere thought of what would have become of the country we love if the equally *brilliant* Kamala Harris had not been decisively mauled by President Donald Trump in the 2024 presidential election. 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

A growing number of Tesla owners are purchasing escape tools due to fears of being trapped inside their cars as a result of malfunctioning doors. Elon Musk’s EV giant is facing a growing number of lawsuits and investigations over reports that its electronic door handles become inoperable in emergencies and in the event of battery failure. Bloomberg reports that in recent months, an alarming trend has emerged among Tesla owners who are increasingly concerned about the reliability of their vehicle’s door mechanisms. Reports of drivers and passengers becoming trapped inside their Tesla EVs due to malfunctioning doors have prompted many to take safety into their own

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. But that just makes him look out of place and weird. Not to mention that most people don't even know

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

The murder of Hollywood Director Rob Reiner and his wife Michelle Singer Reiner by Reiner’s 32-year-old adult son Nick has become another front in the ongoing political war. Nick is a long-time drug addict, in and out of rehab many times, and often homeless on the streets of multiple states. He reportedly trashed his parent’s home at least once in the past, and some reports suggest he was diagnosed with schizophrenia not long before the alleged murders, apparently committed with a knife or other sharp object. Rob Reiner was perhaps best known for his writing and directing, particularly the classic rock “mockumentary” This is Spinal Tap. He’ll certainly
Trump's Marijuana Reclassification: A
Pragmatic Step, but One That Warrants Caution

President Donald Trump signed an executive order Thursday directing federal agencies to reclassify marijuana from Schedule I to Schedule III under the Controlled Substances Act. This shift acknowledges the drug's potential medical uses while placing it alongside substances like ketamine and codeine-laced Tylenol, which carry moderate risks of dependence. The move builds on a process initiated under the Biden administration but stalled by inaction for years. Trump emphasized that the order facilitates essential research into marijuana's benefits and dangers without legalizing recreational use nationwide. "This reclassification order will make it far easier to conduct marijuana-related medical research,"

And now, readers, we return to the story that won’t go away, the Jeffrey Epstein saga. The deceased pedophile continues to dominate headlines over six years after his death, mostly because there are rumors that high-profile individuals were involved with his exploits, and if their enemies can prove it, they can be ruined. There are also countless victims who have never received justice. Already this Friday afternoon/evening, news broke that today was the deadline Congress had established for the DOJ to release the files, and the department was doing just that. As our Ward Clark reported, Deputy Attorney General Todd Blanche announced that the investigation had

The Lancet, headquartered in Britain, was once a respected medical journal. Now, it is mostly a left-wing rag. The current issue, just out, leads with an editorial titled “2025: an annus horribilis for health in the USA.” Really? Our health has gone downhill? Has life expectancy declined? Was there an epidemic that I missed? No. The entire editorial is an anti-Trump screed. 2025 was a horrible year, not for Americans’ health, but for left-wing preferences in health care policy. Thus: Federal funding cuts had occurred under Joe Biden and mistrust in the nation’s health leaders has been waning over time, but the goal of the Trump administration

A federal judge in Washington ruled on Monday that the Trump administration had to either help bring back to the United States a group of Venezuelan immigrants who were deported to El Salvador in March and subsequently sent back to their homeland or give them a chance to contest their expulsions in the U.S. courts. The ruling by the judge, James E. Boasberg, was the latest twist in the long-running saga of the Venezuelan men who were expelled from the country on March 15 under a proclamation by President Trump invoking the expansive powers of an 18th-century law known as the Alien Enemies Act.

The episode, which was scheduled to air at 7:30 ET on Sunday, was set to show correspondent Sharyn Alfonsi interviewing recently released deportees who experienced “brutal and torturous” conditions at the hellhole prison,

Somalis have gained national attention after several were charged with stealing over $1 billion from Minnesota’s social programs, including those intended to feed poor children. Wu claimed that the Somalians are responsible for every positive thing that has happened in Boston. “You cannot talk about any achievement that the city of Boston has had in safety, jobs, and economic development, in education, without talking about the Somali community that has lifted our city up. We are proud and we are grateful for our Somali community and

Los Angeles Mayor Karen Bass was buried under backlash after a tone-deaf post lamenting the “most vulnerable” illegal aliens in her community. The Democrat’s post on social media last week touted a holiday donation drive for families not feeling “safe” in the California city, and it generated criticism on X that continued to reverberate for days. “For many immigrant families, this holiday season is marked by absence and fear. Loved ones are missing due to immigration enforcement actions, and many families do not feel safe leaving their homes to participate in holiday traditions,” Bass wrote in the post, accompanied by photos from the toy drive.

President Donald Trump announced a new fleet of ships Monday, known as the "Golden Fleet," as he revealed he approved plans for two new "very large battleships." "As you know, we're desperately in need of ships. Our ships are some of them have gotten old and tired and obsolete," Trump said, flanked by Secretary of State Marco Rubio, War Secretary Pete Hegseth and Navy Secretary John Phelan. Trump said the new ships would be "100 times more powerful than any battleship ever built," in an address from his Mar-a-Lago estate in Palm Beach, Florida. Renderings behind the president showed the new "Trump class," including one named the USS Defiant.

The United States has recalled almost 30 career diplomats from ambassadorial roles. All of the ambassadors were appointed under President Joe Biden and are senior members of the State Department’s Foreign Service, which produces career diplomats to serve in Washington and abroad. These diplomats tend to stay in their roles for a few years and usually do not leave when there is a change in administration, as they are trained to carry out the president’s agenda, no matter which party occupies the White House.

If you have struggled to find any reason to support the Democratic Party, you are by no means alone. A new Quinnipiac poll revealed last week that 73 percent of voters disapprove of the way the Democrats in Congress are handling their job. Yet, somehow, the party’s candidates managed to overperform its 2024 margins in all five House special elections this year. How did they work this miracle? One clue can perhaps be found in the recent revelations about election “irregularities” in Fulton County, Georgia. During a recent hearing of the Georgia State Election Board (SEB), an attorney for the county admitted that 315,000 illegally certified votes were included

In February 2021, then-President Joe Biden ended Trump’s public charge rule, revamping welfare-dependent immigration. House and Senate Democrats are now writing to

Conway, who lives in Bethesda, Md., an affluent Washington, D.C. suburb, will vie in a crowded Democratic primary to represent a deep-blue Manhattan district to succeed Democratic New York Rep. Jerry Nadler, who is retiring. The vocal Trump critic is likely to frame his congressional run around his top attorney credentials and willingness to serve as legal pitbull against Trump in Congress. Conway, 62, is a mainstay in left-wing media and frequently rails against Trump
