In considering this unfortunate event, I can’t help but to think of the relentless attacks on Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion (DEI) programs that Trump and his acolytes have levied. For example, Hegseth authored a book titled “The War on Warriors: Behind the Betrayal of the Men Who Keep Us Free.” In it, he questioned the bona fides of former Joint Chiefs Chair CQ Brown: “Was (he promoted) because of his skin color? Or his skill? We’ll never know, but always doubt — which on its face seems unfair to CQ. But since he has made the race card one of his biggest calling cards, it doesn’t really much matter.” Brown, who is a four-star general, is universally praised by those who are qualified to assess his accomplishments. This highlights the irony and hypocrisy of Hedgehog, who self-evidently was chosen for his current role based upon his race, his gender, and his unflinching fealty to Donald Trump.

Chief U.S. District Judge James E. Boasberg of Washington, D.C., on Wednesday said he would launch proceedings to determine whether Trump administration officials should face criminal contempt charges for defying his order not to remove Venezuelan migrants from the country based on the wartime Alien Enemies Act.

The law is designed to uphold civilian control over domestic law enforcement and prevent the military from acting as a national police force.

China has quietly extended its military reach far across the Pacific by building dozens of ports, airports, and communications projects at key points in a vast region that could shut out the United States and its allies in the event of war, a new report says.

“’The Bell Curve,’ which argues that Black men and women are genetically less intelligent than white people, is still there,” the paper reports. “But a critique of the book was pulled.” The video Jeffries shared is on the subject of a purge of books from the U.S. Naval Academy at Annapolis at the direction of Hegseth’s office, on the premise that they are DEI-related content.

Brett Robblee and Command Master Chief Felix Phillips were relieved “due to a loss of confidence in their ability to perform leadership duties,” a brief Navy news release says.

The Pentagon’s newest push to trim its workforce and spending could mean that on-base grocery stores and shops designed to save service members and their families money could ultimately be sold off to the private sector.
