The Trump administration is busy making life better for Americans by removing 26,000 references to (and images of) war heroes and military firsts in its Pentagon DEI purge, evidently based on key word searches for words like "gay" and "gender."

The vast majority of the Pentagon purge targets women and minorities, including notable milestones made in the military. And it also removes a large number of posts that mention various commemorative months — such as those for Black and Hispanic people and women. ... In some cases, photos seemed to be flagged for removal simply because their file included the word ”gay,” including service members with that last name and an image of the B-29 aircraft Enola Gay, which dropped the first atomic bomb on Hiroshima, Japan, during World War II.

Several photos of an Army Corps of Engineers dredging project in California were marked for deletion, apparently because a local engineer in the photo had the last name Gay. And a photo of Army Corps biologists was on the list, seemingly because it mentioned they were recording data about fish — including their weight, size, hatchery and gender.


Moronic acts by a moronic administration led by a moron.

Not to worry.

There is SO MUCH to be corrected from the past administration stupidity, such as their ridiculous WOKE NONSENSE, words will be mistakenly removed but will be corrected eventually.

More "malicious compliance" from low level woke employees trying to make the administration look bad. This is the intellectual level the left is down to now.

This incident, and others like it, confirms the existence of the deep state, aka the swamp. It should be noted that the deep state only reveals itself when the target is a conservative person or policy.

Does this leftist behavior mean only the democrats engage in such subversive tactics; or the Republicans are so good at it, their resistance from within is undetected?

When I was a kid, whenever something bad happened to me, I blamed it on the man who I was convinced lived in our basement.

This is funny. I mean it isn't like y'all haven't fired people tending our nuclear stockpiles and had to hire them back, and now you involve the agencies to deflect the ire. You own ALL if this. ALL OF IT. It takes no effort to make this administration look bad because IT IS BAD.

Own all of what?
It’s not our fault the government is bloated, has been used as a slush fund, is inefficient, and that democrat Presidents like to use it to prop up job reports.

It’s being fixed. If that means you get upset and stamp your foot, that’s on “y’all”, lol.

Yep, just like your pet dog gets “fixed.”

And just like your pet dog, there’s no easy way to make it work after it’s “fixed.”

You broke it. You own it.

Wait until the Social Security checks stop flowing.

People may be stupid, but they ain’t dumb. They’ll know who is responsible

I haven't read this entire thread, but the anti-DEI forces have also swept up an American hero. You know...the ones the right claims to respect.

The dude received the CMH, but apparently only because he was a DEI award.

Of course, we all know that the Felon prefers his heroes not to be captured. I'm sure he doesn't respect a hero who jumps on a grenade.

My, aren't you the optimist. I'ma gonna take a wild guess that it will be blamed on Biden and/or covert DEI sympathizers that escaped the purge. ( PS - The government clearly needed robust Purge Protection. )

It's Biden, of course!

That's not a joke. Trump and the RW media and his cult will always blame everything on Biden.

I'd let them give you lie detector tests, but how is a leak "malicious compliance"? Sound more like non-compliance, so enlighten the forum please.

Trump and the RW media and his cult will always blame everything on Biden ...

... because Biden audaciously frustrated Trump's second term aspirations, and then proceeded to oversee a blossoming of America and the world, severely marred by Putin's aggression in Ukraine and Netanyahu's devastation of Gaza, among boundless aberrations perceivable within collectively experienced quantum-to-cosmic existence.

It's been inconceivable to me that a President of my USA would embrace anything like the authoritarianism of a Putin in a mafia-like grab of Ukrainian minerals, much less the Riviera-izing of Gaza in the ultimate real estate deal / humanitarian fiasco.

No doubt it will, but our liberal friends continue to spread fear and panic by stating Social Security checks will stop altogether.
