by Mark Jeftovik, Activist Post: In 1970, futurists Alvin and Heidi Toffler released the first of three seminal books about the trajectory that America, and the world was on. They published them at roughly decade intervals: Future Shock (1970), Power Shift, (1984), and Third Wave (1991). There were others (like War & Anti-War and Revolutionary Wealth), but those three laid out what was […]

by Michael Snyder, End Of The American Dream: If Donald Trump had not decided to pull the U.S. out of the World Health Organization, we could have had a real nightmare on our hands.  The WHO’s “pandemic accord” is scheduled to be finalized by May 2025, and the drafts of that agreement that we have […]

The decision from Prince Harry’s Invictus Games to use lasers for shooting events rather than live rounds appears to have backfired. No pun intended. The official social media account for the Invictus Games, which are designed for wounded and disabled service members and veterans, noted on Tuesday that the competition...

Great news! ‘Affirmative action’ is dead. Can you hear the screaming starting to begin on the Left? It was on Tuesday that President Donald Trump repealed a 1965 executive order from President Lyndon B. Johnson. It was an E.O. that required federal contractors to implement affirmative action policies. Trump criticized affirmative action for fostering “illegal, pernicious discrimination” by prioritizing identity over merit. Those days are over. We’re going back to a merit based system! This move is part of a larger effort to dismantle diversity, equity, and inclusion (DEI) programs across the federal government. Federal contractors have a 90-day transition period to adjust. Of course the media cry that this is a rollback of civil rights. Again, I’m reminded of the saying: When people get used to preferential treatment, equal treatment seems like discrimination.” And a whole lot of people have used affirmative action as preferential treatment. So they see ‘merit based’ as discrimination. JUST ANNOUNCED: President Trump has revoked LBJ’s Executive Order 11246: “Executive Order 11246 of September 24, 1965 (Equal Employment Opportunity), is hereby revoked” President Trump: “We will forge a society that is color-blind and merit-based.” pic.twitter.com/c33DKPUqhM — AJ Huber (@Huberton) January 22, 2025 Daily Wire reports: Trump on Tuesday rescinded a 1965 executive order signed by President Lyndon B. Johnson that required companies doing contract work for the federal government to institute “affirmative action” programs. Trump, citing his duty as president to ensure civil rights laws are enforced, said in his executive order that such policies have resulted in “disastrous consequences of illegal, pernicious discrimination that has prioritized how people were born instead of what they were capable of doing.” This was part of Trump’s broader EO that eliminated diversity, equity, and inclusion (DEI) programs from the federal government. The EO also specifically refers to Executive Order 11246 (Equal Employment Opportunity). Federal contractors may continue to comply with the original EO for the next 90 days. The media is unsurprisingly calling this a rollback of civil rights or “anti-discrimination power,” but like DEI, affirmative action was always used to promote people based on race and not merit. The Supreme Court in 2023 issued a landmark ruling stating that affirmative action policies – specifically those at Harvard University and the University of North Carolina – violated the law and caused discrimination rather than prevented it. Harvard was found to have violated Title VI of the Civil Rights Act, while UNC was found to have violated the Equal Protection Clause of the 14th Amendment, The Daily Wire previously reported. President Trump rescinded Lyndon Johnson’s Executive Order 11246 that established affirmative action for federal contractors. This bans federal contractors from discriminating on the basis of race. pic.twitter.com/2fbjHMTvcZ — The Michael Knowles Show (@MKnowlesShow) January 22, 2025 But liberal media is still going to spread false information. What’s dangerous about this post is that 33M have seen it so far, and the easily swayed are, well, easily swayed by lies: Incorrect. Why are you spreading false information? President Trump revoked Executive Order 11246, removing affirmative action for federal contractors. This doesn’t affect Title VII or laws enforced by the EEOC. Discrimination is still prohibited. — Adam Smith (@AdamSmithKY) January 22, 2025 This should give you an idea about who will be upset about this: In the United States, whites are the only major racial group to oppose Affirmative Action. This might surprise people because Asians are the face of fighting it in college admissions but the synthesis is simple: Asians support it only when it helps them (everywhere but college). pic.twitter.com/KYppe1wHkZ — arctotherium (@arctotherium42) December 28, 2024 The “colorblind’ pitch is an interesting one. Seems only one group abides by it. Colorblind meritocracy used to be a progressive idea in the civil rights era. It’s a conservative idea today. Now that we’ve finally reached the promised land, it’ll be interesting to watch where the next wave of opposition comes from. — Vivek Ramaswamy (@VivekGRamaswamy) January 22, 2025 Whites were the only ones playing by the “colorblind meritocracy” rules. It’s what allowed affirmative action & DEI to proliferate.Other minority groups hold their own ethnicity in highest regard, whites in lowest regard. pic.twitter.com/hkMrj4aCAe — Post-Critical Examiner (@pcexaminer) January 22, 2025 Promises made, promises kept! Some of you will notice that it’s ironic that Stephen Miller would have a hand in it, though. Trump plans to use Civil Rights-era law to outlaw “anti-White racism” in his second term in office. Stephen Miller will spearhead the legal effort to erase affirmative action and DEI from the American workplace.
