From Relieved to Risen: Hail to the New Air Force Undersecretary

Matthew Lohmeier. (Image: US Air Force)

On Thursday, former Space Force Lt. Col. Matthew Lohmeier was confirmed as the Undersecretary of the U.S. Air Force. It’s a position most Americans have never heard of—and one that typically passes unnoticed. But this confirmation deserves attention. It marks a rare, almost literary reversal of fate, the kind usually reserved for well-crafted novels that point to a moral end.

Lohmeier first came to national attention in 2021 when he published a book titled "Irresistible Revolution: Marxism's Goal of Conquest & the Unmaking of the American Military", "that warned of a fast-moving progressive assault on the culture and training canon of America’s military....... Each made valuable contributions to the historical record, memorializing how modern Bolshevism is working to turn the force tasked to protect the nation against it. But Lohmeier’s work stood apart for its philosophical depth and its careful tracing of how 20th-century revolutionary regimes co-opted militaries to impose tyranny.

He detailed how modern military “diversity” and “inclusion” initiatives bear uncanny resemblance to cultural tactics once used by Mao and Stalin. Lohmeier’s book is well-done narrative scholarship that provides a reasoned, historically grounded critique of recent military cultural practices........The Space Force responded to Lohmeier’s warnings not with debate, but with retribution—relieving him of command......To Read More....

My Take - Heterodoxy isn't for the faint of heart.  Having the courage to stand against the current and tell the world, "you're all wrong and I going to tell you why", takes guts, fortitude, the willingness to be attacked unmercifully, unendingly, and  caring little for being liked.  That's rare, and so I've instituted an accolade for those who demonstrate public courage and fortitude.  Men and women who have the courage to stand against the tide, to be the rock in the current.  Willing to stand for truth, justice and the American way.  I'm calling it the John Boyd Legion of Honor, I've added Lohmeier to that list.  To Be or To Do: Which Way Will You Go?  RK

P&D and The Week That Was

 Truth is the Sublime Convergence of History and Reality

De Omnibus Dubitandum, (Everything is to be questioned!)

This Link will take you to My Commentaries.

By Rich Kozlovich

Observe, Orient, Decide, Act

Imprimis is the "free monthly digest of Hillsdale College and is dedicated to educating citizens", and just ran this piece,  New Thinking Needed on National Defense, pointing out the very real inadequacies in America's military.   And they're big.   I think this is a good piece as it hits on all the basics.   

I never liked Trump as a person, although I'm finding him far more acceptable as I watch his reactions to events now.  I think the assassination attempts changed him.  I also think it made him all the more determined to get things done, and he's my age, 78, and realizes time isn't on his side.

 If you give me six lines written by the hand of the most honest of men, I will find something in them which will hang him.  Cardinal Richelieu

I have to say his willingness to stand and deliver against all these attacks by a corrupt legal system has totally impressed me, heterodoxy isn't for the faint of heart, it takes guts and the willingness to be virulently  hated by your enemies, and still push forward against their slings and arrows.   He has nothing to gain by being President, except to save the nation.  He clearly understood their efforts to destroy him wasn't about him, it was to be a lesson to anyone in the future who dared stand up to the vile leftist cabal that's trying to destroy the nation.  

‘Perceived foes’- The left has only impeached Trump — twice — tried to assassinate him — twice — indicted him multiple times, and came perilously close to sending him to Riker’s Island prison, but yeah, The New York Times asserts that the hostility is just “perceived.".....

So, as a leader, he's been amazing, and I don't think I fully realized how smart he is.  I'm convinced he saw his tariffs to be a solution to a great many issues, on a great many levels, including this one discussed in the Imprimis article.   He clearly understood these tariffs would drive companies back to America, factories will be built, supply chains will be altered and shortened, and the economic reality that the world's economy is the American economy is setting in with these chest pounding nitwits.

Did he see all the details? No!  No one could, but he sees the basics, it's a kind of "if you build it, they will come" attitude.  As AT&T used to say, "The system is the solution", so he put the right tools in place so the system could fix itself. 

Is there a moral imperative in trade? - Once, American manufacturers and Democrats believed there was such an imperative, but until Trump came along, both political parties had abandoned that idea..........

Over 130 nations are now scrambling to the White House looking for deals, with many foreign companies pledging trillions to build factories here in America in order to avoid tariffs.    Imagine that.  But the chair bound generals and admirals who make the decisions over purchases need to be purged, and that's always been the case.  See my Col. John Boyd article.  Boyd was a bona fide military genius, and if there ever was anyone who applied Boyd's OODA principle, Observe, Orient Decide, and Act, it's Trump. 

OODA1

AOC says America wasn't meant to last, and so we must assume she's wanting to be President in order to make that happen?   But, the Democratic party just might save America yet:

..........by their own stupidity.  They have demonstrated that they have learned absolutely nothing from the 2024 election, and that might end up being the salvation of the country—if they continue along that line, and with talk of AOC and Jasmine Crockett being their future “leadership,” things do indeed look somewhat brighter for the nation.  The Democrats are apparently intending not to learn anything, but to become even more stupid...........And since then, it appears the Democrats have learned nothing from their defeat. They continue doing unbelievably stupid things that turn off masses of American people. Just a few examples:........Keep it up, Democrats. You might save the country you despise yet.

Andrea Widburg published this piece, The new conservatives, discussing one of the most important factors, and least discussed, in any society.  Demographics!  She discussed how the next generation of voters is actually very conservative, and I think she may be on to something. I’ve read where a young generation, and I don’t remember the alphabetic designation they’ve attached to them, is the most conservative generation in years, and that they’re more religious. 

I don’t know if that’s true or not, but historically generational changes can result for a host of reasons, but a lack of security as a result of failing to perform is foundation for such changes. Since the Pravda media is toast, they’re seeking out answers from other sources, but the idea they're getting their information from podcasts bothers me since there’s no time to lay foundation, and that’s the secret to understanding. Reading, especially books, allows for reflection and is the foundation for understanding.  

We’re living through serious times with totally unserious people at the helm: They’re in the White House, Buckingham Palace (although mercifully merely symbolic there), and throughout the media. The old-time TV newsmen all leaned left, but they at least had the appearance of gravitas. This current crop is drawn from the back of the classroom and the bottom of the heap. They are ridiculous, ignorant people who risibly believe that they have both wisdom and knowledge. - Andrea Widburg

As DOGE is exposing the seditious corruption of the administrative state conservatives are shocked to find it’s far worse than they thought. Also, I think all this is clearly exposing the dangers a corrupt judiciary presents to the nation, and I believe there will be a fix for this judicial overreach in the near future. I’ve tried my best to track these rogue judges and the issues involved as a source article. For those interested here’s My Judiciary Gazette, which I keep updating the information regarding the judges, and the list is substantial. 

The national debt is far worse than the 37 trillion that's on top and being reported.  When you add in the obligations to Social Security and Medicare, and they're not including the future costs of Medicaid in this analysis, Budget Group says the actual federal debt Is $158.6 trillion dollars. 
Al Sharpton is up to his old corrupt and illegal extortion tricks.  PepsiCo agrees to meet with Al Sharpton over DEI cuts, potential boycott.  I just don't get these invertebrate executives.  This is extortion, flat and simple, and extortion is illegal.   I would tell him, Jesse Jackson, and all the other race baiting hypocrites to shove it, and if they did start a boycott, I'd sue their organizations, and them personally, for every dime them have, and I'd keep suing them.  And this would end. 
 
There is a class of colored people who make a business of keeping the troubles, the wrongs, and the hardships of the Negro race before the public. Having learned that they are able to make a living out of their troubles, they have grown into the settled habit of advertising their wrongs-partly because they want sympathy and partly because it pays. Some of these people do not want the Negro to lose his grievances, because they do not want to lose their jobs. - 1911, Booker T. Washington
 
It's become clear neither Putin or Zelenskyy want that war to end, and I've concluded it wouldn't be long before Trump told them to shove it and walked away.  Well,  Secretary of State Rubio says unless Putin and Zelenskyy start taking peace seriously he's prepared to walk away.  There are times when you just turn mother's picture to the wall and leave, and I think that time is now.  
 
The Bolsheviks have discovered that truth does not matter so long as there is reiteration. They have no difficulty whatever in countering a fact by a lie which, if repeated often enough and loudly enough, becomes accepted by the people. -  Winston Churchill 
 
This week I've been trying to get a handle on so many of my drafts, and there's a ton of them, so in today's P&D I have 14 commentaries of my own, and 17 by others, and this video Theory of Stupidity!   
 
Normally I don't do videos as I consider most of them time wasters, since by the time I get to the end I find there's nothing I can use.  Whereas print pieces can be scanned to see if they're worth reading.  But this one is profound and will be the foundation for a piece of my own, and possibly a series as things develop, and since there are no boundaries on stupid, I'm sure there will be "developments" for future pieces. 
 
This is a time that's considered sacred to practicing Jews and Christians, and most certainly a time to reflect, ponder and evaluate reality.  So, have a good weekend, and my very best wishes to all people of good will and honest hearts.

P&D and The Week That Was

 Truth is the Sublime Convergence of History and Reality

De Omnibus Dubitandum, (Everything is to be questioned!)

This Link will take you to My Commentaries. 

This once again has been a week that boggles the mind, and so much is going on it's hard to know what to write about.   The federal judiciary is heading into trouble, and rightly so.   When the founders put lifetime appointments for the federal judiciary in the Constitution those who opposed it warned the very things we’re seeing right now was going to happen, and it's been happening from the start, as people will always be people, and people need boundaries to hold them in check. I recommend reading Mark Levin’s book, Men in Black: How the Supreme Court Is Destroying America.

While one judge stops an effort to prevent Trump from doing his job, another incompetent leftist ideologue masquerading as a judge continues to prevent the President of the United States from doing the job the Constitution says belongs exclusively to him...not the judiciary.... the President of the United States!  Is the federal judiciary abusing their power?  The majority of Americans not only believe they are, they also believe the federal judiciary is a threat to the Republic.  This is really gonna drive them nuts.  Trump is going to go on a crusade to start cutting government regulations.

It's clear Elon Musk is in a very risky situation, his life has been threatened, and he doesn't have Secret Service protection.  However, he does have a private security team, and the U.S. Marshall's service has deputized them, giving them far more authority and ability to protect Musk.   In spite of all the outrage by the left over Musk and his expert team of auditors, one thing is sure.  He's exposing massive layers of fraud, corruption, incompetence, and treason, with Social Security as one example.  In a nation of 335 million, Social Security is making payments to 398 million, and that's just the tip of the iceberg.  An Iceberg leftist attorneys and the federal judiciary are trying to prevent from being exposed.   

I intend to do an article of my own on the Bibas children, but I find this so sickening I have to say something here, now!  Let's start with Daniel Greenfield's article The Child Murderers of Gaza, followed by Andrea Widburg's article, The Bibas family and the antisemitic moral corruption of the world’s institutions.  The pictures will break your heart. 

This is a moral outrage, and to see the pictures of these young innocent children these monsters have murdered should create outrage that never ends world over, and especially in the West, but it won’t. Europe is pandering to these monsters turning these wolves loose on their own people.  With shepherds such as these, Europe is doomed, and I don’t care, their doom is coming about “the old fashioned way.  They earned it”.   Here are other pieces on this outrage. 

  1. CRICKETS: Conservative Eyal Yakoby Exposes Hollywood Hypocrisy After Murder of Bibas Family
  2. Netanyahu Responds After Learning Hamas Returned Wrong Body
  3. How Did the Squad Members React to the Death of the Bibas Children? As Shamefully As You'd Expect
  4. Sick: Shocking New Details Emerge in Murder of Toddlers by Hamas
  5. Here's How the Bibas Children Were Murdered
  6. Bibas Children and Mother Identified as Dead Hostages Returning to Israel Shiri Bibas' Body Has Been Returned to Israel
  7.  How Did the Squad Members React to the Death of the Bibas Children? As Shamefully as You’d Expect
The crowds in Gaza cheered as these caskets were carried away.  There are no innocent people in Gaza, and they have no place in Israel, along with any other of these Arabs calling themselves Palestinians, as even now terrorist attacks are taking place against civilian targets in Israel.  Hamas is like a infection, and if you wish for peace in the Middle East, it has to be cut out permanently by transplanting them to all these Arab/Muslim controlled nations that insist on a two nation state.   A political solution none of them would in any way accept.  They all know these "Palestinians" are nothing but trouble, and that's why most of them were kicked out of these nations in the first place. It's time to ignore what they want...period.  

 Make Jordan Palestinian Again - President Trump’s proposal for resettling Gazans in other countries brought to the forefront a long-forgotten truth: Jordan is Palestinian. Yes, Jordan is Palestinian, defined by its geography, demographics, history, culture, and identity.  It reflects the shared heritage of its people as Arabs on both sides of the Jordan river were called “Palestinians Arabs” until 1948.  The idea of a Palestinian Jordan is not just a political maneuver; it is a historical reality that cannot be ignored.............
 
Kash Patel has been sworn in as the new FBI director and immediately ordered 1500 people out of the building.  Some transferred to duties around the country to prevent their political gamesmanship, and 500 of them are being sent to what is the Siberia of the FBI.  Alabama.  
 

 

Kash Patel has been a victim of the DOJ and FBI, and I have no doubt he's not forgetting or forgiving anyone.  I'm expecting to see hundreds of FBI agents quitting, fired, charged with crimes, and a ton of information they've been hiding to be exposed, including the Epstein files, (I'm betting it won't only be Democrats in those files), the Kennedy assassination, the Sean Rich murder, and potentially Obama's fraudulent birth certificate.  Between him and Bondi, they're going to be the terrors that haunt the dreams of these criminals and miscreants.   They've only been there a nanosecond, and already they've shaken up these agencies with fear and trembling.  The hunters are now being hunted.   Schumer and other Democrat leaders are officially under DOJ criminal investigation. Can you imagine what they will do over four years? 
 
Trump has not only fired the chairman of Joint Chiefs of Staff, he's dumped the Chief of Naval Operations and Air Force vice chief.  The purification of America's military has begun, Hegseth is imposing a hiring freeze,  and laying off a lot of people at the Pentagon, and the CIA is heading for the largest firing in fifty years.

The one foundational moral value the left clings to no matter what, nothing is their fault, and never take the blame when you can shift it to someone else.  In California Karen Bass scapegoated her fire chief saying she never told her there was danger of such a fire.  But it as Bass who cut the funding.  It's gotta be tough to be part of a leftist cabal when things start going wrong, you never know who, or how many, will be stabbing you in the back.   

After ten years and $7.5 Billion dollars spent, there is still no new water storage in California,  and since 2008, and a budget that went from $9.9 billion dollars to $128 billion dollars, nothing of their high speed railway has been built, no one seems to know where all the money goes and yet there are protestors are upset, most likely protest for hire protestors, because Trump has said, enough is enough.  California deserves what's coming to them.  +

NPR has been funded by the American taxpayers since 1970 to the tune of 14.5 billion dollars, all in order to tell the world how much they hate America, and that's their Constitutional right!But let them, and all the other Hate America First media that's been funding by USAID do it for free. 

Trump stops all funding for illegal migrants, saving up to 450 billion dollars, and any kind of  taxpayer subsidization of open borders, and guess what, the amount of illegal border crossings dropped 94 percent.  Imagine that.  You have to believe all these migration caravans were not self supporting, and clearly had to be promoted and supported by treasonous leftists, and we now know that USAID funded a lot of this.

There's a whole lot more, but this will have to do for now, six commentaries of my own, and thirty two by others I think are well done and well thought out.

Have a great weekend, 

Rich

Trump's Law!

By Rich Kozlovich

 

Back about 60 years ago there was a TV show called Burke's Law with Gene Barry as millionaire captain of Los Angeles Police homicide division Amos Burke, who is chauffeured around to solve crimes in his 1962 Rolls-Royce Silver Cloud II complete with an early car phone solving crimes.  When in one episode a witness asked why: His partner Tilson asked: "Why're you a construction man?" Witness: "It's what I do best." Tilson: "That's why he's a cop."  Burke had a way of doing things as an example he told his detectives never ask a question you don't know the answer to, and that means being on top of the information game, and seeing farther, deeper, and wider than others.  

 The federal and state governments, academia, the Pravda media, Congress, and even the commercial sector is filled with halfwits, nitwits, misfits, dipsticks, and meritless pinheads.  A vile cesspool of destructive self interested corruption.   Highly educated, under smart, and entirely too powerful.  They really don't wish to know anything, which becomes obvious when they talk..... saying nothing. 

Things that are known they ignore because they inconveniently fail to meet the leftist narrative of the moment.  As for the things they don't know, they invent.  But now, none of that matters, truth very patiently waits for us, and hopefully it's here now, at least some of it, and at least for a while.  So enjoy it while it lasts. 

Now we have Donald Trump as POTUS, and getting things done is what he does best, and often times that means saying the two words he practically owns.  You're Fired!  General Mark Milley: “You’re Fired!”  As Trump says about ending the Russo/Ukrainian War, we can do it the easy way, or the hard way – and the easy way is always better', but have no doubt, he's going to  have his way on both domestic policies as well as foreign relations, and his appointees are all on board with imposing Trump's Law!  Trump's executive orders are meant to eradicate Obama's sixteen long years to “fundamentally transform America” to the “foundational restoration” of America. 

Trump will find that the executive orders were the easy part, "he’s now got to fight the enemies within the federal government and worry about the judiciary when all the inevitable lawsuits are filed".  Daniel Greenfield reliably predicts, malicious compliance will be the first wave of fed anti-Trump resistance deliberately "breaking things", by just following orders, all in order to blame Trump. This will be the test for crushing the federal employee unions, and justification for eliminating 80% of them. 
 
But as far as foreign affairs are concerned, things will start going much smoother.  Good riddance to Antony Blinken, and as far as I can tell, he's not been pardoned for anything.  But there is a  host of people who need to be investigated whether they've been pardoned or not.
 
Trump’s Shock and Awe Campaign Is Our Conservative Dream Come True - "As we survey the shattered, smoldering ruins of leftists’ dreams in the wake of Donald J Trump’s campaign of annihilation, it’s understandable if we pause for just a moment to appreciate exactly what has happened. We’ve talked and dreamed about this scenario for years, but now it’s happening right in front of our eyes........the smell of napalm in the morning. It smells like victory......"
 
Below I've linked an article by Daniel Greenfield entitled,  The Koch Appeasers Taking Over Trump’s Defense Department.  "How China and Iran appeasers are sneaking into the Pentagon."  It's always the same, a masquerade of corrupt self interest at the expense of the nation's welfare with big wealthy international corporations.  They cannot be trusted to not commit treason.  The old employees, and the new hires will have to be watched carefully, and the firings at all these agencies will have to be ongoing ...... always!  And everyone was shocked why Trump fired all those Inspector's General.  He gets it, and he wants real watchmen. 

ABORTION

GOP Rep. Chip Roy Reintroduces Bill to Repeal Law Used to Throw Pro-Lifers in Prison - Rep. Chip Roy (R-TX) reintroduced a bill on Tuesday that would repeal a law former President Joe Biden’s Department of Justice (DOJ) used to put pro-life advocates in prison. The FACE Act Repeal Act of 2025, would get rid of the Freedom of Access to Clinic Entrances (FACE) Act, a law passed in 1994, which prohibits “violent, threatening, damaging, and obstructive conduct intended to injure, intimidate, or interfere with the right to seek, obtain, or provide reproductive health services.” The act was written to equally protect abortion clinics, pro-life pregnancy resource centers, and churches, however, 97 percent of FACE Act cases since the law’s inception have been against pro-life advocates.......

CENSORSHIP, FREE SPEECH, AND TRANSPARENCY
 
Disinformation Experts Hate Trump’s Free Speech Executive Order - Newly inaugurated President Donald Trump signed a bevy of executive orders earlier this week, including one that seeks to end the federal government's pressure campaign on social media companies. The "Restoring Freedom of Speech and Ending Federal Censorship" executive order reaffirms the free speech rights of social media users and prohibits government agents from engaging in unconstitutional censorship.......
 
BREAKING: Trump Declassifies JFK Assassination Documents- President Donald Trump signed an executive order Thursday afternoon declassifying Central Intelligence Agency documents related to the assassinations of President John F. Kennedy, Senator Robert F. Kennedy and Martin Luther King Jr. They will be released to the American public in short order. ..........
 
Trump Says He’ll Declassify JFK, RFK, and MLK File - President Donald Trump has vowed to declassify all documents related to the assassinations of John F. Kennedy, Robert F. Kennedy, and Martin Luther King Jr. Trump announced his intentions during his speech on Sunday night, the eve of his inauguration..........
 
CENSORSHIP: US Government Agencies Caught Censoring and ‘Block-Listing’ The Gateway Pundit and Others with the Help of Radical UK Anti-Conservative Censorship Group -   Internet sleuth Bad Kitty Unleashed released an explosive report this week on how the Center for Countering Digital Hate partnered with the US taxpayer-funded Restless Development organization to counter, blacklist, censor and silence Covid “disinformation” in 2021 and beyond. Read Bad Kitty’s entire report starting here...........
 
Republican Lawmakers Urge President Trump to Release “Epstein Files” - Republican lawmakers are urging President Trump to release the Jeffrey Epstein Files, just days after President Trump ordered the declassification of the assassination records of President John F. Kennedy, Senator Robert F. Kennedy, and Dr. Martin Luther King Jr...........“Americans deserve to know exactly who was affiliated with this network. This is not about celebrities – this is about what happened to victims and survivors,” added Blackburn............
CRIME, LAWFARE, AND JUSTICE

The DOJ Kills the Ferguson Effect - Even as America was in the throes of a major crime wave, instead of fighting it, the Justice Department played a key operational role in enabling it by suppressing law enforcement. The key element in it was the Civil Rights Division. The Civil Rights Division of the DOJ is essentially the enforcement arm of the Left whose prime mission used to be rigging elections for Democrats, but then developed a sideline in lynching police officers in order to enable BLM riots which were geared to elect Democrats during election years......

Justice Department Launches 'Special Project' to Investigate J6 Prosecutors - The Justice Department under President Donald Trump has launched an investigation into prosecutors who handled the criminal cases against defendants convicted of participating in the January 6, 2021, riot at the U.S. Capitol building.   Multiple sources told CNN they had seen an internal memo indicating the president’s intention to investigate those involved in the prosecution efforts against the Jan. 6...........The order lays out a policy to identify and address these instances of misconduct, ordering the Attorney General to investigate each of the agencies to uncover how they were used under Biden’s watch. Folks on the left criticized the order, slamming Trump for giving Democrats a taste of their own medicine...........

DEI
 
Trump Ends 1965 Executive Order from Lyndon Johnson that Began Affirmative Action in U.S. Govt - President Donald Trump signed an executive order on Wednesday rescinding President Lyndon B. Johnson’s Executive Order 11246, which mandated government contractors take affirmative action......

Trump Issues Memo Directing All Federal DEI Employees to Be Put on Leave The memo directs agencies to place DEI employees on paid leave by 5 p.m. on Jan. 22.

Hoo boy, does Trump need to shake up the Pentagon! - Hopefully Trump will soon make clear the proper place and deportment for generals in the US Military.  When I began basic training in the USAF back in the early 1970s, just like every young man or woman in every military branch, I was taught our military was controlled by the President of the United States. It was a brief lesson. He is the Commander-in-Chief.  He outranks the highest-ranking general who ever lived. Civilian control of the military is unquestionable, there is no debate, no argument. Repeat it back. Don’t ever forget it. Moving on… Imagine my surprise, all these years later, when I saw this:...........the Chairman of the Joint Chief's is "ready to work with the President".........  
 
Pete Hegseth drops the bomb on DEI at U.S. Department of Defense' Those who do not comply will no longer work here'.......
 
Air Force Begins Dismantling DEI Programming - The U.S. Air Force has started shutting down its diversity, equity, and inclusion offices to comply with President Donald Trump's sweeping executive action ordering all federal agencies to dismantle their "radical and wasteful" DEI programming, an official old Air & Space Forces Magazine.........New military executive orders: Trump is expected to sign executive orders today that would reshape the military, including banning transgender service members from serving in the US armed forces. On his first day as defense secretary, Pete Hegseth, who has long been in favor of these changes, told reporters that he will ensure these “orders are complied with rapidly and quickly.”...............
 
 19 state AGs tell Costco that DEI discrimination is illegal. - Attorneys general in 19 states are warning Costco "to end all unlawful discrimination imposed by the company through diversity, equity, and inclusion" policies to reflect President Donald Trump's recent executive order booting DEI out of federal agencies and warning private sectors to do the same. "Racial discrimination is both immoral and illegal.

Trump’s Department of Education Ends DEI Initiatives - President Donald Trump’s Department of Education (DoEd) began eliminating diversity, equity, and inclusion (DEI) initiatives and squashed what it called “Biden’s Book Ban Hoax” in the first week of Trump’s second term. In response to Trump’s executive order cracking down on DEI in the federal government, as well as guidance from the Office of Personnel Management (OPM), the department said it removed or archived hundreds of DEI guidance documents, reports, and training materials from its outward facing communication channels. The DoEd said it also put employees in charge of leading DEI initiatives on paid administrative leave. “These actions are in line with President Trump’s ongoing commitment to end illegal discrimination and wasteful spending across the federal government. They are the first step in reorienting the agency toward prioritizing meaningful learning ahead of divisive ideology in our schools,” the department said in a press release..............
 
FOREIGN AFFAIRS 
 
Trump's State Department 'Just Went Totally Nuclear on Foreign Assistance' Matt Vespa  After the 2024 election, the Biden administration knew what was coming in January: a massive crackdown on aid to Ukraine. Since Kamala Harris’ epic defeat last November, the Biden White House wasted little time, if any, sending hordes of cash to the eastern European nation, which became more of an outlet for liberals raging at Russia for supposedly interfering in the 2016 election than a national security priority. Like anything Biden touched, this issue became more unpopular as the months progressed. With Secretary of State Marco Rubio, all aid has been shut down. The gravy train to Kiev is over (via Politico).....

 Breitbart Business Digest: How Much Would It Cost to Buy Greenland?

Trump is becoming a master statesman and world leader -   Trump's foreign policy game is now nuanced and impressive.  During President Trump’s first term as president, many of us complained about his bad behavior: his boorish remarks, personal insults, badgering, and other sundry criticisms. But this time around, the President seems to be taking a more nuanced approach; at first glance, he is working from both ends of the behavioral spectrum. On the one hand, he is stating his hopes for the future without pressures on others; on the other hand, he’s playing hardball with his expectations. And he seems to be taking a strategic approach to whichever attitude he uses. Trump is taking a hardline approach to internal abuses and how they should be handled. An example is his reliance on Tom Homan, border czar, who said the following:.................
