He has all of government quaking in their boots! How ridiculous is this! How paranoid!
Images of "Enola Gay," the aircraft that dropped an atomic bomb on Hiroshima in Japan are among those targeted by the U.S. military in an initiative to eliminate content related to diversity, equity and inclusion (DEI).They are among a number of photos unrelated to DEI that have been mistakenly flagged, including those from an Army Corps of Engineers dredging project in California, seemingly because an engineer in the image had the last name "Gay."[...]The Pentagon's directive to remove DEI-related content has resulted in the flagging of more than 26,000 images across all military branches, though officials suggest the final count could exceed 100,000 as reviews continue.
Sick! Sick! Sick!
What does this say to children who are LGBTQ+? What does it say to straight children?
Bullying and bias crimes are increasing in schools! Where do you think that is coming from?
More craziness, they tried to wipe out the Tuskegee Airmen but the cry against was so overwhelming.
ForbesByDoug Melville,Jan 27, 2025President Trump’s push to eliminate DEI from federal agencies through executive orders claimed an unlikely casualty: The Tuskegee Airmen.This weekend, it was revealed that Joint Base San Antonio-Lackland, the hub of Air Force basic training that sees 35,000 recruits, among other institutions under the United States Air Force—had removed courses that contain video footage and stories of the Tuskegee Airmen, in order to comply with the commander in chief’s directive.[...]The executive order titled “Ending Radical and Wasteful Government DEI Programs and Referencing” was signed and put in place on January 20, 2025, to terminate all “mandates, policies, programs, preferences and activities in the federal government” relating to DEI. Which is ironic, since the Air Force Office of Diversity and Inclusion was established during President Trump’s first term.
So in other words they thought that deleting Black history wasn't racist! That goes a long way the mindset of Trump & Company.
The Air Force Times wrote,
The Air Force is reinstating a basic training class Monday that was suspended last week for revisions, with its materials on World War II-era Black and female pilots intact but diversity, equity and inclusion components removed.The Air Force originally halted its basic military training course on “airmindedness” on Jan. 23, days after President Donald Trump issued a sweeping order barring DEI programs from the federal government and military. That class included videos on the Tuskegee Airmen and Women’s Airforce Service Pilots, or WASPs, who were the first Black and female pilots, respectively, to fly for the military.An internal message leaked online Friday indicated videos on the Tuskegee Airmen and WASPs were pulled immediately from the class to comply with Trump’s DEI orders. The Air Force clarified Saturday that the videos themselves were not targeted for removal, but that BMT classes including diversity-related materials were temporarily suspended for review.
Hmm... somehow I doubt that it will have been reinstated if there was no public outcry!

This post stated out life as a "Mini-Post" but the news about the Tuskegee Airmen broke and it fit right in with deleting the photos of the "Enola Gay."
I have to wonder if they will also delete the photo of the FAG bomb aboard the USS Enterprise getting ready to be loaded to strike. Interesting story for those who do not know our history.
