The second Trump Administration is succeeding magnificently in driving DEI/wokist policies and ideology out of the U.S. government and any organization receiving federal funds, writes Roger Kimball at American Greatness. From the FBI cutting ties to the extreme-left Southern Poverty Law Center to newly named Secretary of War Pete Hegseth declaring the U.S. military to be no place for “dudes in dresses”, Kimball proclaims – perhaps a tad prematurely – that DEI in government is dead but just doesn’t know it yet.

Millions were deeply moved when Erika Kirk forgave the assassin of her husband Charlie. Reflecting on the profound meanings of the Jewish Day of Atonement, Jeff Jacoby questions the phenomenon of instantly forgiving heinous crimes.

The anonymous proprietor of The Brawl Street Journal Substack writes that the recent appointment to Germany’s Constitutional Court of a follower of Communist revolutionary Antonio Gramsci who believes that nature can hold human rights and that protest movements might supersede elected parliaments as agents of change, plus a recent constitutional amendment imposing specific climate policy goals on elected lawmakers, spell trouble for Europe’s supposedly strongest economy and largest democracy.
