  • And that's how it's done

     Argentina’s new President just cut the number of ministries in half on his first day.  Down from 18 to 9.   Ministries being cut or consolidated include those dealing with social development, education and women, gender and diversity.

  • $800 million lost to ideology

     The University of Wisconsin Board of Regents left $800 million on the table in order to hold onto their DEI ideology.  This figure did not include faculty raises throughout the system.  That was left on the table too.

     The White House has suddenly discovered  that CAIR (the Council on American-Islamic Relations) is anti-Semitic. Apparently they had included CAIR for input into the  National Strategy to Counter Anti-Semitism White House fact sheet and the definition of anti-Semitism. It’s the same level of stupid as the UN putting Iran on the Commission for the Status of… Continue reading
