Nice piece.

I read it, then I thought about it, then I realized that what you described as happening was stunning and deranged. All of this happened in plain sight; we nodded through it. Makes you wonder, was this part of some globalist grand plot / psyop, or was it just human nature toying with us like it has for thousands of years, in this case with incrementalism. Cheatle & Chriswell because: woman > Mayorkas, because: Hispanic > Austin, because: Black > Buttigieg, because: gay > Levine, Because: trans > Britton, because: crazy.

Makes you wonder what’s next? Maybe humans just can’t handle an unfettered combination of freedom, tolerance, and compassion.

Thank you! Yes, it really is crazy!

Viktor Frankl, who suffered in the death camps, said that with freedom comes responsibility. And DEI is certainly an example of a lack of responsibility.

What's next? IDK. I can only hope that we can at least agree that DEI is very destructive, and we are better if we are smaller - as in 50 sovereign states united as one in national defense (only) and all domestic matters residing with the states. Real Federalism.

Well written, I live in Minnetonka and our dei director gets paid $115,000 a year, waiting for the accomplishment list. Mark milley and Rachel Levine played football together at college

Thank you! I’m doing a FOIA in my state to find out how much we are spending on DEI just at the (my) state level (DE) and the results would be comical with the responses I’ve gotten - except that this is not a joke!!

What a great compilation of how woke has weakened us. And then there’s Kamala.

Thank you! Yes, Kamala IS the face of DEI and needed her own post!

More on Kimberly Cheatle- she was part of “Doctor” Jill’ protection detail when Joe was VP, and she’s a lesbian. Bonus DEI points for her.

Obviously the public is unaware of the misfits who are running our government. Trump will be a little better, but, not by much. Deep cultural surgery to eliminate the root cause of this infestation. Maybe we shouldn't allow anyone to vote without passing a civics test. If out of the 300 million citizens, there are only 10 millions who are well educated and informed of our issues? Having these 10 millions vote for our leaders is way better than allowing fat girls with blue hair and nose rings voters.

Yes, I agree. Socrates, Plato, Aristotle, et. al. all understood that democracies always degrade into tyrannies for this very reason - ignorant voters. 18th century historian, Alexander Tytler, took it one step further and saw that all democracies (including constitutional republics) lead to tyranny because the people become dependent on the government. Tocqueville echoed his thoughts and took it further. It makes sense; depend on the government to live and then the government can take it all away.

Passing a civics test to register to vote - why is that a bad thing?
