Wednesday Morning Rant
First, the job is incomplete. For example, NASA's diversity page (and the equity page) is now a 404 page. Good progress. Purged. But NASA's (former) diversity mission is still easy to find if you search for the keywords. The search index was either not part of the purge, or is running behind.
It's the same at the other sites I checked for. HUD? Gone, though less gone than NASA's. It hasn't been removed, exactly, just hidden by permissions. That's too bad, because it was a doozy that deserves to be destroyed, not merely hidden away. HHS? Gone (archive). But then, not everyone has gotten the message. DOE has gotten the message and its purge is well underway. Even the agency's internal search engine requires some effort to make the DEI stuff from the past surface and going directly to the offending page now redirects back to the homepage (archive). Some sub-organizations still have DEI pages, but they're starting to vanish. Department of Education's DEI initiative page is not only gone (archive), Linda McMahon appears to be gloating about her agency's enthusiastic compliance. DOT's equity page now redirects back to the home page and while the agency's search engine still turns up plenty of results, the ones I clicked on also either redirect or 404. So the purge is on. It's incomplete by all means, but it's on. That's refreshing. That's heartening. It's not enough. My brief journey through US government websites exposed something else that was so common and so obvious that I didn't notice it until I went hunting for the vestiges of DEI in the bureaus' public outlets. That obvious thing I barely if ever noticed before is just how much these people love giving each-other awards and accolades. If you delve into the search engines at most of these bureaus, you'll hit a rich vein of DEI results when you search their press release archives. They love to give and receive DEI awards. HUD won DEI awards. NASA won DEI awards. Lawrence Livermore won DEI awards. DEI-related awards are everywhere, and US government agencies routinely won them. How many of them are proudly on display on executive credenzas and in hallway display cases throughout the agencies? These awards should be the next step. DEI awards are nothing to be proud of. Winning one means you suffer from institutional sickness, and the days celebrating derangement are over. Once the US government and its various adjuncts, contractors, affiliates and hangers-on finish purging DEI from their public image, it is time to shift from removal to repudiation. I think President Trump should strongly consider another EO for the next stage in excising the cancer of DEI from the government: order the bureaus to publicly reject and return these awards. For every press release trumpeting some DEI award, there should be a press release announcing the rejection and return of the award because DEI is not only no longer part of the mission, it was never something worthy of accolades. Trump's administration is well on its way to eliminating the public face of DEI, which means the momentum is his. It's nearly time to shift from public elimination to total repudiation - with the added bonus of the humiliation of subjecting the executives to self-denunciation just like they so enthusiastically did to their subordinates. Make them publicly reject and return their coveted DEI awards. Drive the point home and make it crystal clear: DEI is over, it was never good, and even the trappings of its past will be destroyed.Comments

An estimate I saw said that a combination of government workers and government funding outside of government comes to about 25% of the total workforce in the United States.
That's a lot of votes, a lot of paychecks, and a lot of donations from people reliant on government funding.

Yes, everyone has heard. However, there have been MANY RIFs, base closures, and so on over many years affecting hundreds of thousands of federal workers. There were also no offers so generous in as far as $, time, and so on.
Again, here's the body of the letter, in part:
"If you choose to remain in your current position, we thank you for your renewed focus on serving the American people to the best of your abilities and look forward to working together as part of an improved federal workforce. At this time, we cannot give you full assurance regarding the certainty of your position or agency but should your position be eliminated you will be treated with dignity and will be afforded the protections in place for such positions.
If you choose not to continue in your current role with the federal workforce, we thank you for your service to your country and you will be provided with a dignified, fair departure from the federal government utilizing a deferred resignation program..."

Sir, I have it on good authority that there are only 11 million illegals in the US. Jas as there were 11 million last year, and every year before that since at least the 1970's!
Think one of the best things about this aggressive deportation is that people will see how many illegals there really are as so many businesses grind to a halt, so many businesses and services (ER, anyone?) are suddenly uncrowded, housing becomes available, etc.

Blueberries are mostly picked mechanically now, since the USDoL and the State of Oregon decided that ag labor must earn the equivalent of minimum wage no matter what, and then started screwing up the compensation calculation to Lawfare some of the biggest growers in the Willamette Valley in revenge for being involved with the Tea Party.
The cost is high in capital start up but the savings became worth it for anyone but small growers. Small growers were forced out of the market because of the labor costs.

"In the name of the best within you, do not sacrifice this world to those who are its worst. In the name of the values that keep you alive, do not let your vision of man be distorted by the ugly, the cowardly, the mindless in those who have never achieved his title. Do not lose your knowledge that man’s proper estate is an upright posture, an intransigent mind and a step that travels unlimited roads. Do not let your fire go out, spark by irreplaceable spark, in the hopeless swamps of the approximate, the not-quite, the not-yet, the not-at-all. Do not let the hero in your soul perish, in lonely frustration for the life you deserved, but have never been able to reach. Check your road and the nature of your battle. The world you desired can be won, it exists, it is real, it is possible, it’s yours. “But to win it requires your total dedication and a total break with the world of your past"

"Congressman Demands Fellow Lawmakers Stand Up To Trump: 'This Is A 5 Alarm F-ing Fire'
Source: HuffPost
Rep. Sean Casten (D-Ill.) expressed frustration Tuesday with his fellow lawmakers – particularly Democrats – who he says are not meeting the moment of the Trump administration rapidly carving out the federal government.
“If you are a Senator right now confirming ANY Trump nominee who will not unambiguously defend their oath to the Constitution even if that means standing up to Trump you are completely misunderstanding the risk of this moment,” he posted on X.
Casten, who serves on the House Financial Services committee, spoke out after the Trump administration announced it was freezing federal funding, immediately throwing agencies and Americans who depend on those funds into chaos.
“The fed. gov’t is ~20% of the US economy, spending money on those things that the private sector cannot provide – roads, security, hunger, etc. To shut that down is to carry out Russia and China’s foreign policy, destroying all that makes America the envy of the world.”"
If it's really a five-alarm fire, why isn't Jamaal Bowman leading the charge?

There are reasons behind Trump's renaming the Gulf and wanting to go after Greenland.
Likewise some of this radical idea of buying Greenland and possibly Canada. has nothing to do with his ego. That has to do with the race for minerals in the Arctic Ocean, protecting our borders, and getting us the legal right to help Europe protect their borders from the Russian and Chinese fleets that have been doing damage to infrastructure. If Greenland is the territory of the US, but still their own country like Puerto Rico, then we have the legal right to have a base there and the legal right to protect the waters around Greenland. The whole premise right now, if we were to go help Europe it would trigger an act of war. We would have to wait for Nato action to do anything. If we have the legal right, to be there. Legal right to protect Greenland, then any response to defend our territory is not considered an act of war.

Most polls of federal workers indicate 90%+.
NGOs are probably about the same, though this might also include just general contractors which, I imagine, would be closer to even on a purely partisan basis (though incentives would indicate they'd probably be more Mitch McConnell than Trump).

I think crop-picking is heavily automated now, in large part because states and feds put onerous minimum-wage and labor laws on what amounts to basic manual labor.
I think the idea that there are tens of millions of illegals "doing the work Americans won't do" is outdated. A lot of the basic manual labor has been automated. I think what we have now is ten of millions of illegals sitting at home watching Mexican weather girls, collecting checks from taxpayers.
You still have lots of illegals in construction, meat processing, transportation/delivery, and the Democraps' favorites of nannies, gardeners, pool boys, and prostitutes. But I think automation will eventually replace a lot of these jobs too.

Roads are funded through Federal and state gas/diesel taxes. I giver the fed 18.4 cents for every gallon of gas I put in my truck. And I give the state an extra 20 cents a gallon. The roads are fully funded from that, they don't need anything extra.

Between Obama and Biden, the last two Democrat presidents appointed 14 of the current judges of the 9th Circuit.
Trump appointed 11.
There are 3 vacancies.
Trump is going to match both Biden and Obama's output, combined, on the 9th Circuit in the next few months.

I hadn't heard of that before, but the reason is just what you'd expect. The advent of better health care meant that the population was rising at an unsustainable rate; one that Denmark would have to fund.
That is not to defend what the Danes did in any way. However, I note that the article below is from the BBC, so take it at whatever value you choose.

I don't believe anyplace in Greenland was called or named Thule when the base was established. It was a cover name to keep the location secret. IIRC the location was kept secret until sometime in the 50s when a European privately trekking in Greenland saw it. I guess DoD and CIA decided to not make him disappear.

"Senior" status is another thing that must go. It's basically a cozy, lucrative sinecure for very old judges who shouldn't be on the bench any more. You end up with ancient judges appointed by long-dead presidents decades ago. In some cases, it can work out for us, but overall it's just another indicia of these federal employees -- that's all they are -- being feted like royalty. Fuck them.

RFK is probably willing to blow that open and the Dems know it and are terrified. What do you think is going to happen when more people find out covid was made with US funding, those who made it KNEW it was loose in October 2019, Moderna patented genes were used in making it, the original grant application listed HCQ and other cures for risk management, the jabs are made with COTS components whose purpose is transcription, and it IS transcribing into people... including cancer causing sequences they didn't disclose to regulators.

Disney is now forcing Mackie to grovel.
Remember when Brie Larson was outright anti-male in her rhetoric on the press tour for Captain Marvel and she never walked a thing back?
Probably because Disney is racist against black people. Only conclusion.

It's incredible how stupid and tone-deaf these people are. Larson at least went on her anti-man rant at a time when woke garbage was a thing. But Mackie? He was always a slimy piece of shit. But you'd at least think he'd have enough functioning brain cells to realize woke doesn't sell any more. It's like going to Berlin and flashing the Hitler salute everywhere, thinking that's still a thing.
