Isn't Hegseth is a DEI hire, too?
Or was that a DUI hire?
Maybe both?

Here is an email sent to government employees on the subject.

Guidance Regarding DEIA Executive Orders

We are taking steps to close all agency DEIA offices and end all DEIA-related contracts in accordance with President Trump's executive orders titled Ending Radical and Wasteful Government DEI Programs and Preferencing and Initial Rescissions of Harmful Executive Orders and Actions.

These programs divided Americans by race, wasted taxpayer dollars, and resulted in shameful discrimination.

We are aware of efforts by some in government to disguise these programs by using coded or imprecise language. If you are aware of a change in any contract description or personnel position description since November 5, 2024 to obscure the connection between the contract and DEIA or similar ideologies, please report all facts and circumstances to DEIAtruth@opm.gov within 10 days.

There will be no adverse consequences for timely reporting this information. However, failure to report this information within 10 days may result in adverse consequences.
Thank you for your attention to this important matter.

Attention women: Report directly to you kitchens for sandwich preparation.

Following your lunch service, report to your local US Government breeding center and await further instructions.

>>On Monday, Trump issued an executive order terminating "illegal DEI and 'diversity, equity, inclusion, and accessibility' (DEIA) mandates, policies, programs, preferences, and activities in the Federal Government, under whatever name they appear."

A second executive order issued Tuesday revokes numerous executive actions of administrations past, including some that had been in effect for decades. One issued by former President Bill Clinton required federal agencies to address environmental justice for low-income and minority populations. Another signed by former President Lyndon B. Johnson required government contractors to adopt non-discriminatory practices in hiring and employment.<<

Easily. Kagan, Sotomayor and especially Jackson should be a bit nervous, however.

What a surprise, pro-slavers want to be able to discriminate.

Good!

So, okay, you want to get hired for 'this' job? Take this test and get an 80% or better, you are hired. First come, first served.

Difference is that I want to disccriminate based on abillity. You pro-slavers want to discriminate based on race, primarily to keep black folks down.

This is what fascists do, exploit wedge issues to cause division and seize power.

This also enables further differential treatment of women too, btw, not just minorities and the liberals they are currently harassing and terminating from federal agencies.

Poor progs just can't catch a break. They are in trouble now that stupidity is no longer a protected class. Take solace in this, progs - life is going great for the rest of us.

Stupidity is the rule of the day.

And your team wants to discriminate in all things based on loyalty to the absolute ruler. That never ends well for the lackeys involved, so I say full steam ahead.

Sooner or later even the dumbest ones will figure out they've been had, and it's comedy gold.

Pro-slavers are losing their heads over us doing away with racial and sexual discrimination. Good. It is about time that we banished you racists and sexists to the dust bin of history, where you belong. Rage on, dirtbags. But realize that you are done.

>> Costco's shareholders rejected a proposal by a conservative think tank aimed at getting the company to roll back its diversity hiring practices, the Associated Press reports - a move that leaves the world's third-largest retailer an outlier as many U.S.-based corporations retreat from diversity, equity and inclusion initiatives.

The company's board had recommended that shareholders reject the proposal by the National Center for Public Policy Research (NCPPR), arguing that it wasn't in line with Costco's "commitment to an enterprise rooted in respect."<< NPR

So now for all of you republicans for less government who believe private companies should do all of the things government does because they do it better, more efficiently and cheaper, what about Costco? Is Trump going to tell this very successful American company who they can and can't hire?

The Trump people sent out a memo that says employees can be charged with a crime if they don't report DEI practices.
