President Donald Trump” took aim” at the federal government’s Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion programs on Tuesday, with an Office of Personnel Management memorandum ordering “employees to be placed on leave no later than Wednesday and for DEI offices to be closed down,” according to a Washington Post report.

It’s the end of the world, at least to learn the Washington Post tell it, but it helps to think of WaPo as a business rags in one of those 19th-century business cities with interests as religious as they are dishonest.
From WaPo’s” took target” to NBC’s saying that La workers have been “targeted” by Trump, please realize that “eliminationist language” isn’t eliminationist when left outlets use it.
Acting OPM chairman Charles Ezell issued the letter following Trump’s Tuesday executive order to end  “radical and useless” DEI initiatives implemented under the Biden Cabal. I’d put that they were “immoral” and “unconstitutional,” also.
Even better, Trump’s Entrepreneurship encouraged company officials in the private sector to “end improper D. E. I. bias and preferences and cooperate with all federal civil rights laws” that “undermine our national cohesion, as they deny, undermine, and undermine the classic British values of hard work, excellence, and personal achievement in favor of an immoral, caustic, and destructive identity-based spoils system. “
The New York Times reminded readers that while Washington ( thank goodness ) doesn’t have the authority to tell most companies how to run their internal affairs, “it does have discretion to enforce its rules on heavily relied-upon private contractors and subcontractors who would be subject to the new rules. “

” In anticipation of Mr. Trump’s taking office, several companies, like Meta and McDonald’s, have rolled back their D. E. I. initiatives,” NYT reported — and I’m pretty sure they don’t fall under D. C. purview as contractors. Â
Washington will suffer wider layoffs as detailed by my PJ colleague Rick Moran’s VIP piece yesterday, to the relief of a grateful nation.
Trump and Ezell aren’t messing around. The memo orders agency heads to ask employees “if they know of any efforts to disguise these programs by using coded or imprecise language,” and all DEI materials must be removed from the web, social media, etc.
Nevertheless, you won’t be shocked to learn that the Deep State doesn’t take kindly to having its postmodern spoils system taken away.
Big news: An NSA whistleblower has alerted me that the NSA is attempting to hide its DEI program by renaming it the Equal Employment Opportunity and Accessibility group.
As you can see, the training is the same and within it you find” DEIA as tradecraft. “

As Trump learned in his first term, it isn’t enough to issue perfectly legal orders. There will have to be follow-through, firings, and enough examples made to frighten the rest into line.

Trump isn’t wasting time, either, according to WaPo’s story. ” OPM acting director Charles Ezell sent the memorandum to federal department and agency heads, instructing them to inform all employees of DEI offices by 5 p. m. Wednesday that they were being placed on paid administrative leave effective immediately. “
Well, bye.
