🚨 BREAKING: Trump’s DOJ just eliminated a 44-year-old race-based hiring decree.

For four decades, this racist mandate rigged federal hiring against merit and in favor of race discrimination.

Today, it’s DEAD.

This is a turning point. Here’s what it means 🧵 Image
2/ In 1979, a lawsuit claimed that the federal hiring test—PACE—was racist.

So the Carter DOJ caved.

The U.S. government replaced merit-based exams with “Outstanding Scholar” and “Bilingual/Bicultural” racial preference hiring programs.

DEI's prototype was born. Image
3/ For 44 years, this decree forced a form of DEI into every federal department:

❌ Race-based preferences
❌ Discriminatory test reviews
❌ Massive compliance bureaucracy
❌ Handcuffed hiring managers

It distorted everything from OPM to NASA. Image
4/ Now it’s over.

DOJ just filed to end the Luevano decree, calling it:

“Flawed and outdated…
Draconian…
A barrier to hiring top talent.”

This is one of the biggest rollbacks of government racial bias in my lifetime. Image
5/ Assistant AG Harmeet Dhillon didn’t hold back:

“For over four decades, this decree has hampered the federal government from hiring the top talent of our nation.

"Today, the DOJ reopened federal employment opportunities based on merit—not race.”

🔥🔥🔥 Image
6/ And that’s not all. Just days ago, DOJ warned:

If you receive federal funds and run DEI programs, you’re breaking the law.

That means:

— Universities
— Schools
— Contractors
— Nonprofits

It's about time we enforced the Civil Rights Act! Image
7/ This isn’t just red tape reform.

It’s civil rights restoration.

DEI has turned the Civil Rights Act upside down—substituting quotas for character, and grievance for greatness.

That era is ending. Trump is pulling it out by the roots. Image
8/ Democrats claimed DEI was about “equity.”

But it was always about power:

☑️ Racial gatekeeping
☑️ Bureaucratic control
☑️ Ideological purity tests
☑️ Race-based (Democrat-only) House seats

Trump’s DOJ just restored the law and thereby flipped the table. Image

🧵Mexico’s Drug Cartels Bedevil Sheinbaum’s Dealmaking With Trump

The U.S. and Mexico aim to reach security agreement in coming days, Mexican president says. But domestic troubles are making that a lot harder.

That's part of why Trump extended her deadline.

Here's the scoop. Image
2/ A Chinese cartel boss escaped house arrest in Mexico—and the judge who let him go is under fire.

Trump is pressuring Mexico to act.

Tariffs are on the table.

And U.S. military options are back in play. Image
3/ His name is Zhi Dong Zhang.

He laundered $150 million for Mexican cartels and smuggled fentanyl ingredients, coke, meth—the works.

Mexico caught him.
Then a judge put him under house arrest.
In July, he escaped. Through a hole in the wall.

Yes, really. Image

🚨🚨🚨 BREAKING: Trump’s DOJ just launched a GRAND JURY investigation into the Russiagate hoax.🚨🚨🚨

You wanted arrests? This is how you get arrests.

Brennan. Clapper. Comey. Strzok. Page. Maybe even Clinton and Obama.

Here’s what just happened—and what it could mean 🧵 Image
2/ Attorney General Pam Bondi has officially greenlit criminal proceedings based on DNI Tulsi Gabbard’s referral.

She assigned a federal prosecutor to present evidence to a grand jury.

This isn’t talk. This is action precedent to indictments & arrests.

rodmartin.org/p/yes-there-wi…
3/ Gabbard’s referral is explosive.

She declassified evidence showing Obama officials suppressed intelligence proving there was no Russian cyber-attack on election infrastructure in 2016.

They knew it.
They hid it.
They lied about it.

🚨 BREAKING: While the world watches Ukraine and Taiwan, a new great power is quietly rising—and few are ready for what comes next.

Turkey is on the move. And thanks to war, the weakness of its neighbors, and a once-in-a-century opportunity…

This is Turkey’s moment. 🧵 Image
2/ In The Next 100 Years, the great @George_Friedman predicted the surprise rise of 3 powers:

🇯🇵 Japan
🇵🇱 Poland
🇹🇷 Turkey

All three are surging.

But only one sits at the crossroads of Europe, the Middle East, & the Mediterranean—ready to fill the void as old powers fall.Image
@George_Friedman 3/ The vacuum is vast. Turkey is filling it.

• Russia is bleeding in Ukraine.
• Iran is reeling.
• Syria's civil war has (mostly) ended with the victory of a Turkish proxy
• Iraq is disoriented.
• Israel is busy.
• Europe is focused elsewhere.

🚨 BREAKING: Kremlin Backs Off HARD on Nuclear Threats

"Hey guys, we didn't really mean it, you know..."

Here’s why Trump’s show of force worked—and what it means for Ukraine, China, and world peace. 🧵 Image
2/ Days ago, former Russian President Medvedev claiming Russia’s nuclear “Dead Hand” would launch nukes if the Kremlin fell.

It was a stupid thing to say. Dead Hand only works if we nuke them. But it spooked people who don't know.

Trump wasn't spooked.

3/ These aren’t just any submarines.

They’re nuclear-capable, stealth, and parked “in the region.”

Medvedev bluffed. Trump called. Putin folded. Image

BREAKING: President Trump just hit Switzerland with a 39% tariff.

The Swiss are panicking. Their government is holding emergency meetings. CEOs are begging for mercy.

Here’s why it matters—and why it’s working. 🧵 Image
2/ The tariffs were no accident.

Switzerland ran a $38.5 billion trade surplus with the U.S. last year. That’s more than Mexico!

Trump made it clear: if you want free access to America’s market, you don’t get to take and never give. Image
3/ Switzerland now faces one of the highest tariff rates in the world—tied only with Syria, Burma, and Laos.

The EU got 15%.
The UK negotiated 10%.
Switzerland? 39%.

Why? Because they didn’t come to the table. They thought they were above all that. Image

🚨 BREAKING: Tesla Just Handed @ElonMusk a Much-Deserved $29 BILLION Pay Package

The board just made it official:

✅ 96 million shares
✅ $29 billion value
✅ Activist Democrat judge SMACKED DOWN

Here’s what just happened — and why it matters:

🧵 Image
@elonmusk 2/ Elon just got a $29 billion stock award from Tesla’s board — a direct response to a partisan judge voiding his previous pay.

Elon bet the company he could hit insanely high goals over 5 yrs. Everyone laughed. The shareholders took the bet.

He won. It was time to pay up. Image
@elonmusk 3/ But Democrats HATE him, ever since he took over Twitter.

So a corrupt Delaware judge VOIDED his pay package. TWICE. Even after shareholders voted for it AGAIN.

She made him work five years for FREE.

That's where the whole country was going if Democrats had won last year. Image
