“Two wrongs don’t make a right”- philosophy proverb 

“Yes they do “- DEI and anti-racism advocates

“DEI stands for Discrimination, Exclusion and Indoctrination”- Ron DeSantis

The rise of Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion advocates in higher education, corporate America, the Pentagon, and the deep state has been a disaster for our country. Their Marxist narrative of oppression/victimhood, systemic racism, implicit bias, white supremacy, and “anti-racism” has devastated meritocracy and freedom. It has empowered and enriched a large cadre of assorted race hustlers, grifters, progressives, and leftist authoritarians. This is the coalition largely responsible for electing Joe Biden, a lying, senescent, and corrupt political hack who has repeatedly identified “white supremacy” as the #1 threat to America while deliberately opening the southern border to millions of fraudulent “asylum seekers,” terrorists and fentanyl, and destroying freedom and prosperity with inflation and climate alarmism. 

The head of the Biden crime family was installed and continues to be protected by a deeply corrupt FBI and intelligence community that hid payoffs from the Chinese Communist Party and assorted Russian, Ukrainian, and Eastern European oligarchs. The deep state, the left, and their fellow traveler legacy media worked to install and protect Biden, all the while promoting the utterly false Russian collusion lie fabricated by Hillary Clinton. There will not be any accountability for Clinton and her unindicted co-conspirators. The best freedom lovers can hope for is an electoral and social repudiation of their odious agenda. They are remarkably impervious to logic and evidence, as is typical of religious cult members. Nevertheless, I shall continue to try.

Household income data from the census bureau puts the lie to “systemic racism” and “white suprema.” Coupled with the masses of non-white “asylum seekers” risking life and limb to come to America, the fictions of systemic racism and white supremacy should be laid to rest, but they are too valuable to the left to let logic and evidence prevail over demagoguery.

A promising group of Republican presidential aspirants challenging Donald Trump and the DEI swill gives me hope. Florida Governor Ron DeSantis has the best record on the matter, directly challenging woke Disney, banishing DEI from Florida public higher education, pledging that Florida is “where woke goes to die,” and most memorably, branding DEI as “Discrimination, Exclusion, and Indoctrination.” Biotech entrepreneur Vivek Ramaswamy is fearlessly promoting meritocracy, the American dream and American exceptionalism, as are former South Carolina governor and UN Ambassador Nikki Haley and Senator Tim Scott. In my opinion, any of them is preferable to Donald Trump, and all of them, including Trump, are the antidote to Biden and the corrupt climate cultist crap.

As I reflect on the blessings and price of freedom and prosperity this Memorial Day weekend, I also know how fragile and endangered they and our Republic are in the face of a determined leftist assault. The enemies of freedom and prosperity have been recognized and reconnoitered; the battle commences over the coming 17 months.
