JD Vance *did* rightfully tell Europeans things they've needed to be told ever since they've existed. Europeans are lucky the world doesn't unite and pay them back properly.

Associated Press is free to write what they like.

They are not entitled under the Constitution to be on Air Force One or to be in the Oval Office.


BAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA

Censoring Free Speech


The hypocrisy- it burns.

It sure does...
"The Trump administration banned staff of the nation's top health protection agency from using seven words or phrases in documents.
Policy analysts with the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention were told during a meeting Thursday that they couldn't use the words "vulnerable," "entitlement,"
"diversity," "transgender," "fetus," "evidence-based" and "science-based."

And...
A memo distributed by NSA leadership to its staff says that on February 10, all NSA websites and internal network pages that contain banned words will be deleted.
This is the list of 27 banned words distributed to NSA staff:
Anti-Racism
Racism
Allyship
Bias
DEI
Diversity
Diverse
Confirmation Bias
Equity
Equitableness
Feminism
Gender
Gender Identity
Inclusion
Inclusive
All-Inclusive
Inclusivity
Injustice
Intersectionality
Prejudice
Privilege
Racial Identity
Sexuality
Stereotypes
Pronouns
Transgender
Equality

Looks like the MAGA posters here can drop their phony "free speech" masks.

Looks like we can add the inability to alphabetize to the list of Trump 2.0 idiocies.

Great list, Banksy.

I think we can safely add the ‘Gulf of Mexico’ to the list of banned words according to the DICKtator.

But... what about the NSA's mission or culture in particular makes those topics pertinent to the business of the NSA?

Put another way: most of those topics are completely irrelevant to the NSA's operational objectives. As long as they follow EEOC laws against discrimination in hiring and whistle-blowing laws and anti-discrimination pay laws and hostile workplace prevention laws, they're good.

Companies cannot be forced to pay for and support staff social discussions and topics that are irrelevant to operating a profitable and efficient business. Neither should taxpayer-funded agencies and operations. Leave the DEI topics to directed DEI organizations.

DJT's hammer-headed approach is not good, but getting back to an increased focus on the mission is needed.
