The Trump administration’s policies against diversity, equity and inclusion resulted in Medal of Honor recipient Major General Charles Calvin Rogers’ page being removed from a Department of Defense website, with the URL of the defunct page being changed to ‘deimedal’ - seemingly implying that Major General Rogers only received the medal because he was a black man.

The page has since been restored, but only after there was an outcry against this gross insult against an American hero.

A spokesman for the Trump administration said that ‘I think the president and the secretary have been very clear on this – that anybody that says in the Department of Defense that diversity is our strength is, is frankly, incorrect’, ignoring the fact that US government policies that increased diversity in the military, such as the decision to allow black Americans to serve, the formation of the ‘nisei’ 442nd Infantry Regiment, and the desegregation of the military, have resulted in some of the finest feats of valour performed by American soldiers, sailors, airmen, and marines.

The Trump administration also failed to apologise for insulting one of the nation’s heroes.

In other news, the Trump administration has banned a French scientist from entering the country due to his criticism of Trump:

In other words, the Trump administration has spat on the traditional and fundamental US value of freedom of speech.

And, in yet more news, the Trump administration has continued its pro-Kremlin policies by erasing evidence of Russian war crimes against Ukraine. Researchers at Yale University were compiling information about Russia’s deportation of Ukrainian children to Russian homes; such an act is defined as genocide by the UN Convention on the Prevention and Punishment of the Crime of Genocide, to which Russia is a signatory.

The information, which it was hoped could be used to find the abducted children and return them to their families, was seized and deleted by the Trump administration.

Last I checked, Trump did not go to the website and pull down this individuals page of accomplishments. The question is, who did and why.

French scientist was "allegedly" denied. He was or he wasn't. These news oulets do this crap constantly. Headlines and verbiage of "it could", "it may", "it is possible", "allegedly"....on it goes. Either it was or it wasn't. This how nonsense starts. You and others now believe it. Give the facts. Not conjecture.

Etats-Unis : un chercheur français refoulé pour avoir exprimé « une opinion personnelle sur la politique menée par l’administration Trump

Le ministre de la recherche français a dit sa « préoccupation », mercredi, après cette décision des autorités américaines. Le chercheur du CNRS aurait subi un contrôle aléatoire à son arrivée, avant que son ordinateur et son téléphone ne soient fouillés.

I can not read French but if the article confirms it then fine. Now, you have a person not of US citizenship who is very open about Trump/hate/etc making this person suspect. Just because this person is a scientist make little difference. Maybe what was on the phone was more than simply being pissed off. We don't know. Whatever it was, it was enough to deny access to the US. :03:

I think there's more to this story than what have been told in the news.

Democrats’ silence is damning as leftist violence explodes

By Karol Markowicz

Published March 19, 2025, 7:33 p.m. ET


Another Donald Trump presidential term, another spate of violence going largely ignored — or even smirked at — by Democrats and their media friends.
Tesla dealerships are being firebombed and shot at, while Tesla vehicles are vandalized and their owners assaulted.
Trump-supporting influencers are getting “swatted,” set up for dangerous police encounters by opponents who phone in hoax distress calls.
Relatives of Trump-aligned public figures — including the sister of US Supreme Court Justice Amy Coney Barrett and Elon Musk’s brother — are receiving bomb threats.

This cannot go on.

The multiple attacks on Teslas aren’t mere vandalism. This is terrorism exactly as the dictionary describes it: “The unlawful use of violence and intimidation, especially against civilians, in the pursuit of political aims.”
These “vandals” are terrorizing Tesla the company, as well as Tesla owners — going so far as to dox them with an online map — all because they don’t like the opinions of its CEO.
It’s calculated to scare, to terrorize, people away from driving Teslas in order to apply political pressure on Musk.

It’s “nothing short of domestic terrorism,” Attorney General Pam Bondi said Tuesday.

The Justice Department has already charged several perpetrators, she said, in cases that could carry five-year mandatory minimum sentences.
Five years is a good start — but it’s not enough. This kind of antisocial political barbarity is utterly unacceptable in a free country.
Threats of violence cannot be allowed to curtail our freedom of speech.

Nor should the extended families of public figures face threats to their lives and safety. The siblings of a Supreme Court justice or the head of DOGE did not choose a public life, and bullying them is disgusting.
Swatting, too, is on the rise, with more than a dozen incidents aimed at right-leaning media figures reported in just the last 10 days.
“This isn’t about politics,” FBI Director Kash Patel said Friday on X. “Weaponizing law enforcement against ANY American is not only morally reprehensible but also endangers lives, including those of our officers.”
Swatting isn’t just a scary inconvenience; it has had deadly consequences. Police killed a Kansas man in 2017 after someone called in a fake hostage situation at his address. The “swatter” was sentenced to 20 years in prison.
But every swatting has the potential to turn deadly — in fact, that’s largely the point. Just because swatters use technology, and law enforcement’s guns, shouldn’t give them a pass on the attempted murder of their political foes.
Meanwhile, there is no federal anti-swatting law, making it harder to prosecute.

Republicans in Congress must take action. They can reintroduce the Anti-Swatting Act, a 2015 bill that was sponsored by both Democrats and Republicans but never got a floor vote.

Can Democrats really support using our law enforcement to target political enemies?
Worst of all, much of this violence and abuse is being laughed off by people who would be weeping if the targets were their own political allies.
Jimmy Kimmel, ostensibly a late-night comedian but in truth more like an angry crank, sarcastically told his audience Tuesday, “Please don’t ever vandalize Tesla vehicles” — while looking mockingly into the camera, after a long pause, to let them know he meant the opposite.

Minnesota Gov. Tim Walz, last seen as the great male hope of the failed Kamala Harris presidential campaign, told a crowd this week he keeps a finance app on his phone to follow Tesla and to “give me a little boost” whenever the stock declines.
“Two-twenty-five and dropping!” he exulted.

Such jeers, as well as the deafening silence from most other Democrats, are simply intolerable.

If progressive influencers and leftist leaders were on the receiving end of such horrid tactics, every Republican in the country would be made to answer for it. “This is not who we are,” right-wing media would proclaim.
And rightly so. But no such calls are coming from the Democrats and their media allies.

Donald Trump ran on a platform of law and order. The increasingly rabid reaction to his presidency calls for a serious response.

For the last five years, the violent left has run rampant with few consequences for the chaos it has sown.

Republicans in Congress, and the Trump Justice Department, should show them that ends now.

Let's not forget Jan 6th right wing violence. Any bets on whether Trump's rhetoric on Judges leads to an attack this year on a judge, or a family member? I'm expecting it.

You own a tesla car dealership and suddenly none of the vehicles are moving off the lot. What would you do? You do what always is done in bad economical times, you burn the lot. Just saying...

The joke escapes you.

The joke escapes you as well.

Well, if Pelosi is supposed to protect and handle security of these judges they are screwed. :doh:

It’s Time For Congress To Stop The Judicial Sabotage Of Trump’s Agenda
A small group of Democrat activists, with the help of activist judges, are disrupting the court system because they didn’t win the election, and there is no other way for them to assert their power. Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis called it “sabotage” in a social media post that calls for Congress to step in with legislation to rein in judicial resistance.

Some of it political. Some is basis and fact. Either way everyone and their brother is filing lawsuits. Another 4 years of BS investigations, judicial reviews and postering.
