National Security Journal- DEI Is Sinking the U.S. Navy
After persistent recruiting challenges since 2020, the Coast Guard—which is facing a 10% shortage in crews—last year took the remarkable step of sidelining 10 cutters and shuttering 29 boat stations. The Navy, meanwhile, missed its recruiting goals last year by 7,000 and has shrunk by 21,000 sailors since 2021. Then there’s the Army, which reduced its goals rather than acknowledge even larger recruitment gaps.
‘We just hit something on the taxiway, could you tell us what it was?’ one of the pilots asked in the audio.
Air traffic control responded: ‘The whole tail of that CRJ is off.’

“White Fragility” author Robin DiAngelo was hoodwinked into dipping into her own pocketbook to pay reparations to a black producer in podcaster Matt Walsh’s upcoming documentary “Am I Racist?”
An undercover, man-bun-wearing Walsh, 38, goaded DiAngelo into ponying up cash to his producer named Ben to compensate for the sins of the past by first coughing up the money himself.

And gets rich while doing it.
Free Beacon- Robin DiAngelo Plagiarized Minority Scholars, Complaint Alleges
DiAngelo, 67, tells “fellow white people” that they should “always cite and give credit to the work of BIPOC people who have informed your thinking.”
It doesn’t matter if their contribution is just a few words. “When you use a phrase or idea you got from a BIPOC person,” DiAngelo says, referring to black, indigenous, and other people of color, “credit them.”
But the white diversity trainer has not always taken her own advice. According to a complaint filed last week with the University of Washington, where DiAngelo received her Ph.D. in multicultural education, she plagiarized several scholars—including two minorities—in her doctoral thesis.
@watchTENETnow: NASA’s DEI trainings include engineers vocalizing they “feel shame” for being white and for taking part in “white supremacy culture”.
Chair of the National Space Council: Vice President Kamala Harris asked NASA if it could use its satellites to track trees “by race” in various neighborhoods as part of “environmental justice” during a recent display on climate change and more.
Last week, a tent occupied by Rupinder was set on fire in what was reported as a racially motivated hate crime. The incident, which occurred early Saturday morning, saw four people inside the tent at the time. As luck would have it, Rupinder managed to capture the event on film for TikTok.
Where the foxes caper unmolested, the government packs your school lunch and “People will forgive you for being wrong, but they will never forgive you for being right“.
John Deere CEO John May should resign or be fired over this video. Listen up because you won’t believe what he admits.
He admits to seeking specific races for board seats and that “diverse” board members have questioned why certain non-diverse people were hired and how to ensure that 2 “diverse” candidates were ready for that job in the future.
This sounds like discrimination against White employees to me. How is this legal?
Canadian Medical Association Journal- A call to stop extractive health research on South Asian diaspora communities in Canada
Several major funding awards have been granted to research teams led by White principal investigators to conduct research involving South Asian diaspora communities.
Despite her record-breaking college success at Iowa, and the impressive start to her WNBA career with the Indiana Fever, The Athletic claims Clark will not be heading to Paris with Team USA for this summer’s Olympics.
The 22-year-old is bringing more attention to women’s basketball than ever before, with her highly-anticipated debut breaking ESPN viewership records last month.
Nevertheless, it is believed there is no room for her in USA’s Olympic team, which has left Portnoy incensed.
The Barstool Sports chief said in an explosive video rant on X: ‘This is about Caitlin Clark being left off the Olympic team… how dumb are these women?
National Post- ‘Overwhelming majority of the Canadian poor are white,’ report finds
At the low end, defined by low after-tax income, some 58 per cent or 1.6 million people living in poverty are white, or what StatsCan refers to as “not a visible minority nor Indigenous.” For the other figure, which measures poverty based on the cost of living, 2.5 million people or 64.4 per cent of the group living in poverty are white.
“In other words, the overwhelming majority of the Canadian poor are ‘white,’ and thus cannot receive race-based allocations from governments if unchangeable characteristics such as skin colour or ethnicity are accounted for in policy,” the group said in a press release announcing the findings.
Spiked- Is your garden guilty of ‘horticultural appropriation’?
Uprooting racism from your garden might be more tricky than you’d think. Not least as some of the UK’s best-loved flowers are products of ‘colonialism’. Magnolias, for example, came from colonial Virginia and camellias from China.
Daily Sceptic- ‘Global Majority’ is Just Anti-White Propaganda
This phrase is a fancy way of referring to all the non-white people in the world, and then arbitrarily lumping them together into one giant, supposedly homogenous whole as representing around 85% of the planet’s population – in direct opposition to white folk, who make up only under 10% of all the world’s people. (I don’t know what’s happened to the missing few percentile of humans there, by the way: maybe they’re just unacceptably ‘white adjacent’, like Jews or Moomins?)

“DEI is the drop you put in the bucket, and the whole bucket changes.”
Rufo: If they have lost the love of building airplanes, what is the love, if any, that they bring to the job?
Insider: Status games rule every boardroom in the country. The DEI narrative is a very real thing, and, at Boeing, DEI got tied to the status game. It is the thing you embrace if you want to get ahead. It became a means to power.
DEI is the drop you put in the bucket, and the whole bucket changes. It is anti-excellence, because it is ill-defined, but it became part of the culture and was tied to compensation. Every HR email is: “Inclusion makes us better.” This kind of politicization of HR is a real problem in all companies.
If you look at the bumper stickers at the factories in Renton or Everett, it’s a lot of conservative people who like building things—and conservative people do not like politics at work.
The radicalization of HR doesn’t hurt tech businesses like it hurts manufacturing businesses. At Google, they’re making a large profit margin and pursuing very progressive hiring policies. Because they are paying 30 percent or 40 percent more than the competition in salary, they are able to get the top 5 percent of whatever racial group they want. They can afford, in a sense, to pay the “DEI tax” and still find top people.
But this can be catastrophic in lower-margin or legacy companies. You are playing musical chairs, and if you do the same things that Google is doing, you are going to end up with the bottom 20 percent of the preferred population.
Heh.
