NSA investigates ‘secret sex chats’ under guise of DEI on internal agency message board

By Alec Schemmel , Morgan Phillips  | Fox News Federal employees within the intelligence community are under investigation for allegedly misusing an internal agency messaging board to dish on their sexual fantasies under the guise of diversity, equity and inclusion (DEI), officials say.  Chat logs from the National Security Agency's (NSA) "Intelink" messaging platform, obtained by researchers from the conservative Manhattan Institute reportedly via sources within the NSA, revealed employees from various intelligence agencies discussing their experiences with gender-reassignment surgery, artificial genitalia, hormone therapy, polyamory and pronoun usage. Some of these agencies reportedly include the Defense Intelligence Agency, U.S. Naval Intelligence and the NSA. ...

Pepsi drops DEI chief, representation goals

By David Spector  | Fox Business Pepsi has become the latest company to significantly roll back its DEI policies, announcing it will be eliminating its role of Chief DEI officer and ending representation goals in hiring. "We are revising our DEI program, as 2025 marks the conclusion of our five-year strategy. We see an even bigger opportunity to more deeply embed inclusion throughout the business as a key driver of business growth and will be introducing a new Inclusion for Growth strategy," PepsiCo Chairman and CEO Ramon Laguarta said in an employee letter first reported by conservative activist Robby Starbuck. The letter states that Pepsi will be "transitioning our Chief DEI Officer into a broader role" and that "Inclusion is the responsibility of all leaders at PepsiCo." A slat...

Trump’s Dept. of Education sees early wins ahead of Linda McMahon confirmation hearing

By Katherine Hamilton | Breitbart President Donald Trump’s Department of Education (DOE) has seen a burst of early victories since Jan. 20 and ahead of Education Secretary nominee Linda McMahon’s confirmation hearing on Thursday morning. Ultimately, the 45th and 47th president wants to see the DOE abolished and more power sent back to states and communities, and he has quipped that he wants McMahon “to put herself out of a job.” But for the time being, the DOE has feverishly tackled diversity, equity, and inclusion (DEI) initiatives, gender ideology, antisemitism, and wasteful spending that been woven into the fabric of the American education system. Many of the changes have been prompted by Trump’s sweeping executive orders, which have prompted whole-of-govern...

Trump shows ‘leftist ideologues’ entrenched in military academies the exit

By Wallace White | Daily Caller President Donald Trump announced he was firing the board of visitors of all U.S. military academies on Monday in his continued crusade against “leftist ideologues” in the military. Trump cleaned out the board of visitors for the U.S. military academies, such as West Point, the U.S. Naval Academy, Coast Guard Academy and Air Force Academy effective Monday, according to an announcement on Truth Social. Trump campaigned in the 2024 election on reducing so-called “woke” politics in the military, saying he would create a task force specifically to root out diversity, equity and inclusion (DEI). “Our Service Academies have been infiltrated by Woke Leftist Ideologues over the last four years. I have ordered the immediate dismissal of the Board of Visitors ...

Education Department spent hundreds of millions injecting DEI into school districts

By Robert Schmad | Washington Examiner The Department of Education, which is facing the ax under President Donald Trump’s new administration, set aside over $300 million in grants intended to promote diversity, equity, and inclusion by prioritizing resources for racial minorities, according to a Washington Examiner analysis of grant records. Federal disbursements identified by the Washington Examiner occurred under both the Biden administration and the first Trump administration. Trump’s Office of Management and Budget, however, recently ordered a freeze of all federal grants shortly after the president took office, partially to rein in government DEI spending. “The American people sent a clear message to Congress in November — they are...

Disgraceful, discriminatory hiring — by CU

By The Gazette Editorial board, Commentary Colorado’s most prominent higher-ed institution, the University of Colorado system, has discreetly changed the name of the office that oversees its controversial “diversity, equity and inclusion” programs — i.e., institutionalized discrimination. It’s as if CU wanted the change to fly under the radar. The new name, the Office of Collaboration, is vague enough to escape notice. And it wasn’t publicized through an official announcement; it was outed on X by a user who presumably didn’t speak for the CU system. When The Gazette pressed CU’s front office for details, a spokesperson referred our news staffer to a page on the university’s website that the spokesperson said was “all the comment we’ll be making on this at this time.” The webpage ...

Air traffic control and the DEI debate in wake of mid-air Reagan Airport collision

By Dan McLaughlin | National Review As Charlie notes, even after last night's air disaster culminated a series of near-misses over the past four years, American air travel remains astonishingly safe, and the likelihood is that a full investigation will find that last night's crash of an Army Blackhawk helicopter into a commercial airliner was (1) a total freak accident, (2) the result of a mechanical problem with the helicopter, and/or (3) human error by the helicopter pilot, perhaps compounded by poor air-traffic control. Efforts to blame this on Donald Trump, whose transportation secretary Sean Duffy only took office yesterday morning, say more about the people ... READ THE FULL STORY AT THE NATIONAL REVIEW

Costco board members donated heavily to Democrats in 2024 election cycle

By David Spector  | Fox Business Costco's chairman of the board donated hundreds of thousands of dollars to Democrats in the last election cycle, and multiple other board members heavily donated to Democrats as well, according to data from the Federal Elections Commission.  The grocery wholesaler is grappling with a public backlash after the board overwhelmingly came out in favor of the company's controversial DEI policies.  Chairman of the Board Hamilton E. James gave $100,000 to the Harris Action Fund in May 2023. Hamilton, who was formerly with the Blackstone Group, donated $150,000 to the Harris Victory Fund in October 2024, FEC data reveals.  READ THE FULL STORY AT FOX BUSINESS

Trump admin orders federal employees in DEI offices to be placed on paid leave as agencies wind down diversity initiatives

By Victor Nava | New York Post The Trump administration on Tuesday ordered all federal employees working on diversity, equity and inclusion initiatives to be placed on paid leave as government agencies work to shutter DEI offices.  The Office of Personnel Management, the government’s top human resources agency, informed federal department heads in a memo that DEI program employees must be notified by 5 p.m. Wednesday that their administrative leave is “effective immediately.”  The memo further directs federal agencies to take down all “outward facing media” — such as webpages and social media accounts — focused on DEI programs, cancel all employee diversity trainings and terminate any DEI-related contracts by the same deadline.  READ THE FULL ...

McDonald’s announces end to some DEI initiatives

By Paul Bois | Breitbart The fast food behemoth McDonald’s will reportedly end some of its Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion (DEI) initiatives, citing the Supreme Court recently outlawing affirmative action (racial preferences) in college admissions. In a lengthy open letter signed by McDonald’s senior leadership team, the fast food giant said that while it remains steadfast in its commitment to inclusion, it will be rolling back some of its DEI initiatives. Per the Associated Press: McDonald’s said Monday it will retire specific goals for achieving diversity at senior leadership levels. It also intends to end a program that encourages its suppliers to develop diversity training and to increase the number of minority group members represented within their own leadership ranks. R...
