For a US government that hates DEI, it's curious that the Secretary of State is Cuban, the FBI director is Indian, the DNI head is Samoan-Indian, and the President is South African.

BREAKING: Donald Trump just fired General CQ Brown (left) and has replaced him with the less qualified Lt. General Dan Caine. DEI isn’t a problem if you’re white.

So the President has abruptly fired the Chairman of the Joint Chiefs, Charles Q. Brown Jr., and is replacing him with a retired three star general, Dan Caine. This portends a future grave crisis as the President attempts to restructure the military into one personally loyal to him.

YES! We have an amicus appointed by the judge in the case to dismiss the charges against Eric Adams. Basically, if neither party opposes, the court appoints someone to fight the other side. They did this in the Flynn case as well.

A number of federal agencies, from HHS to the USDA, have laid off employees only to rescind those terminations days later. An expert says it "suggests something about mismanagement of government."

So they removed the black chairman of the Joint Chiefs in the middle of his 4-year tour, without cause, and they're seeking to replace him with a white **retired** Air Force three-star general who lacks the requisite experience as a service chief or combatant commander? Huh, how about that

Dear @cnn.com, The judge did not “vacate” the trial. He adjourned it. Then he appointed an amicus curiae to argue against dismissing the charges. Who writes your headlines?

Let me help those who just get mad and post. It will take years and possibly decades to build infrastructure anywhere in Ukraine to be able to mine these minerals. Then, the biggest refiner is China. It will take a decade for the first $ If Zelensky gets what he wants, who benefits the most ?
