More scumbaggery from President Hitler with the Combover. This'll probably rank about 125th among the worst things the piece of shit did today.



Jackie Robinson's Army career wiped from military website in DEI purge



Excerpt:

The military story of Jackie Robinson, who broke the color barrier in Major League Baseball after serving as a 2nd lieutenant in the Army, no longer exists on the Department of Defense's website as part of the Trump administration's wiping out of diversity, equity and inclusion within the federal government.

This is just one of many similar examples. I can't help but see it as ominous. Of exactly what, I don't know, but "ominous" never means good.

"Woke cultural Marxism" is a newly coined construction to me. And an utterly meaningless one, of course.



I guess we will see how much MLB is willing to kowtow on April 15.

In their effort to purge the military of any DEI references, they removed a picture of the Enola Gay plane and crew because, you know, it was gay.

And they removed the web page of Ira Hayes, one of the five Marines who raised the flag in Iwo Jima because is a Native American Pima Indian.

They have also called Gen. Colin Powell a "DEI hire".

You can't make this shit up.

I really can make it up. It is very, very easy. The last thing this administration is is creative.



I will be kneeling through the National Anthem at any game I attend this year, and I hope you join me. It probably will go beyond this year.

My wife and I have discussed this. We won't kneel, but we may not stand with hand over heart, either. We are not proud to be Americans if this is what being American means.

Hah! That's nothing. France wants its Statue of Liberty returned.

A French politician said Sunday the U.S. should give back the Statue of Liberty in an apparent critique of President Donald Trump's leadership. "We're going to say to the Americans who have chosen to side with the tyrants, to the Americans who fired researchers for demanding scientific freedom: 'Give us back the Statue of Liberty,'" said French member of the European Parliament Raphaël Glucksmann Sunday, according to local outlet France 24.

This current administration is a toilet.
