This is an affront on many levels. It’s going to blow up in Trumpty Dumpty’s face and well it should. News broke early Friday night that C.Q. Brown, the Chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff, and the second Black to hold that job, was terminated and a less qualifed (and white, needless to say,) man put in his place. Ironically, Brown was in favor of Trump’s key issue, border security. But he won’t have a chance to back Trump’s play because he’s been replaced by a white general, and this is the second time that that’s happened since Trump’s been in office. America first means that minorities and women are going to be displaced right and left because we don’t earn our jobs, you see. They are “given” to us as a result of DEI.
And “Razin” Caine will go along with Pete Hegseth’s views of non diversity in the military. We’ve got to have that. That’s the core of America First, white male supremacy.
General CQ Brown, Chairman of the Joints Chief of Staff, was just apparently “fired” by Trump via a social media post by Trump. Just an hour ago General Brown posted this so it seems he wasn’t expecting Trump’s post firing him. https://t.co/sY0fCFVDQ1

Remember, they want to fire Gen. CQ Brown because he’s Black, and to them, minorities don’t earn their jobs. He also supports a diverse military. Like every. Single. Other. Joint. Chief.

Actually, Razin Caine is the DEI hire, DEI meaning “Donald Engineered It.” Now the important question is how many more generals are going to be put out to pasture for no other reason than that they supported increased opportunies for women and minorities? Because that’s the kind of philosophy that can be attributed to practically anybody in the armed forces in the past 30 or 40 years. So they’re all fair game?
If you go over to Twitter right now you’ll see that Brown “was a DEI hire,” which is synonymous with incompetence. Here’s the problem: if you’re female or a POC or both, the presumption is that you are not qualified, BUT some liberal Democrat has gamed the system to where you get hired over a white guy, who is uber qualified. That’s what this is all about. It’s white men first, then POCs, and then women at the bottom of the totem pole because women shouldn’t be working at all, doncha know? We are supposed to dwell in the fantasy world which does not exist of “being in the home” the mythical “Home” where A Man pays all the bills and you can just sit there and be the Little Woman and it’s all Cinderella-like.
Where this never never land exists, no woman I’ve ever spoken to knows. We only know that it is our task to find it, and then we’ll be Real Women, cleaning houses and taking care of children and Being Revered — and never having to earn a dollar. Great fantasy, too bad it exists for a small percentage of the population.
Believe me when I tell you I know any number of women crippled by this particular fantasy/sociological construct. And insofar as male POCs are concerned, it’s flat out ugly to allude to this entire class of people as not having earned their positions.
But this is the root philosophy of racism and sexism. Get used to it. Remember this guy, who Trump appointed to the State Department?
That was published in October, 2024. This is what we have in power right now, folks. This is what the rest of the world is looking at and thinking, “Wow. Is that who America is?” That’s who a necessary margin of America is, once you factor in the electoral college and voter suppression, not to mention all the propaganda on right-wing media.
This is an American tragedy and one of many more to come.

Friends, thank you if you have already donated to help the site. If you have not done so yet and are able to do so, your help would be greatly appreciated in these trying times. Ursula
🤯🤬 I am beyond sick of the D.E.I. arguments that minorities and women were hired because they are minorities and women!! NO!! We see you mf’ers!! They are being FIRED because they are in those groups!!
🤬 Kinda hard to sustain a country when the President has advanced dementia and narcissism, the Owner/Oligarch is strung out on ketamine and narcissism, and the SecDef suffers from dry drunk (much worse than drunk*) and narcissism…and media normalizes all of it!! May you live in interesting times!! 😱
*I know from some unfortunate times in my own family that the only thing worse than dealing with the behavior of an ugly drunk is dealing with that drunk trying to stay dry!! The ugliness has no alcohol to cover it and the things said and done are horrific and painful to everyone nearby!! 🥹🤕
NPR recently had a segment about the military’s difficulty in recruiting new members. Firing top female and non-white officers can only make the problem worse, not to mention the effect it will have on overall morale. Does the regime think young white MAGA guys will be eager to sign up?
Dear Beattie:
The real.DEI hires are mediocre men (like you) who can’t. compete wirh better qualified wpmen and minorities.

P.S. DEI Donnie also fired the female CNO Admiral Franchetti and the female head of the Coast Guard. These poor insecure menz. Ny husband, retired Navy Chief with 23 years in, calls it “Ih, the poir menz. Their penis hurts.”
