Trump’s U.S. Department of Education Orders All 50 States to Eliminate DEI Programs Within 14 Days… or Lose Federal Funding The U.S. Department of Education under President Donald Trump has issued an ultimatum to all federally funded educational institutions: eliminate Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion (DEI) programs within 14 days, or face the complete withdrawal of federal funding. The directive, outlined in a letter from the Department’s Office for Civil Rights (OCR), comes in response to “pervasive and repugnant race-based preferences” that have turned America’s schools into indoctrination camps. The letter explicitly warns schools, universities, and state education agencies that their reliance on DEI initiatives—which serve as racial discrimination—violates federal civil rights law. According to the document, which cites the Supreme Court’s landmark 2023 ruling in Students for Fair Admissions v. Harvard, the Department of Education has found that DEI programs not only promote racial division but also directly contradict federal anti-discrimination laws. The letter condemns DEI efforts as a systematic attempt to impose race-conscious policies in admissions, hiring, scholarships, and even classroom instruction. The letter reads in part: Under this order, educational institutions receiving federal aid must immediately: Dismantle DEI offices and programming that promote race-based policies. End race-based hiring and admissions practices that disadvantage certain groups. Cease funding or collaborating with third-party organizations that push DEI initiatives. Halt racially segregated graduations, scholarships, and other programs under the guise of inclusion. Failure to comply, the Department warns, will result in swift consequences—including the potential revocation of federal funding. From Gateway Pundit .....Hippy

“You’re the Ally I’ve Been Waiting for All My Life” – Warmonger and Lapdog Lindsey Graham Declares His Unending Love for Zelensky in Ukraine Truth Tweet Sha Warmonger Lindsey Graham flied to Europe to pledge his endearing love to the Ukrainian dictator and his war with Russia. US Senators, including Republicans Lindsey Graham (South Carolina), John Cornyn (Texas), and Thom Tillis (North Carolina), flew to Europe this week to pledge their support to Ukrainian tyrant Volodymyr Zelensky and his war with Russia. During one press gaggle, Lindsey opened up about his respect and admiration for the Ukrainian president. At least $100 billion of US Aid sent to Ukraine went missing. Someone should ask Lindsey about that. From Gateway Pundit .....Hippy

...WINTER STORM WARNING REMAINS IN EFFECT UNTIL 1 AM EST MONDAY... * WHAT...Heavy mixed precipitation. Total snow accumulations between 6 and 9 inches, sleet accumulations around 1 inch, and ice accumulations between one tenth and four tenths of an inch. * WHERE...Western and Central Hillsborough, Cheshire, Eastern Hillsborough, and Interior Rockingham Counties. * WHEN...Until 1 AM EST Monday. * IMPACTS...A snowstorm will bring plowable snow to the region with a period of moderate travel impacts expected. An extended period of mixed wintry precipitation will be the biggest hazard. Light to moderate icing of trees will cause some tree branches to snap and others to be weighed down. The power outage threat is elevated. Travel will be dangerous and is not advised due to icy road conditions. Gusty winds directly after the storm will cause a period of dangerous conditions. Having to wait till morning to see what we are going to do with it. Blow the snow before the ice or let it ice up on the snow. Hoping it doesn't rain after it snowed like it did Thursday. .....Hippy

Shocking Scandal: Over $151 Million Intended for Soldiers’ Meals at 11 Major Army Bases Spent Elsewhere (U.S. Army photo by Staff Sgt. Osvaldo Martinez) A bombshell report has exposed that more than $151 million meant to feed soldiers at 11 of the Army’s largest bases was repurposed for undisclosed uses. This revelation, first reported by Steve Beynon of Military.com, comes as junior enlisted soldiers struggle to access nutritious food on base, with some being forced to survive on substandard meals. The funds in question are deducted directly from service members’ Basic Allowance for Subsistence (BAS), a monthly $460 allotment meant to cover food costs for soldiers living in barracks. For junior enlisted personnel earning approximately $30,000 annually, this deduction represents a significant financial burden. Yet, instead of using these funds to provide adequate meals, the Army appears to be diverting them elsewhere. ADVERTISEMENT Incredibly, out of $225 million collected across just 11 bases, a staggering $151 million was not used for food expenses. With the Army operating a total of 104 garrisons, the true amount of unspent funds could be far higher. The Army refuses to disclose what the extra funds are being used for. Major expenses like dining hall infrastructure and food service worker salaries are covered under separate budgets, and despite repeated inquiries from Military.com, officials have declined to provide any transparency. When pressed, the Army provided only a vague statement, claiming that food expenditures are based on past attendance at dining facilities. But that explanation doesn’t account for why the vast majority of BAS funds are not going toward feeding soldiers. ADVERTISEMENT The following data obtained by Military.com represents the Army’s fiscal year 2024, spanning from October 1, 2023, to September 30, 2024. It provides a rounded comparison of the total funds collected from soldiers for food at each installation versus the actual expenditures on food. More from the news outlet:

l remember these when they were building I-86 now I-84 from Hartford Conn to the Mass line. The railroad overpass east of what is now l-291 before it was rebuilt. You could almost remove your drivers mirror on the center support if you were in the left lane. The guard rail was bolted to the center support of the bridge. The freight haulers racing down the hill east bound at exit 100 before the rest area. OH ya! Back when it was fun. lol .....Hippy -

My son's ex Consolidated Freightways trucks, trailers, and dolly all have wedge brakes. Once repaired and maintained correctly they will work fine. When we went to the ATHS national show in Kentucky a few years ago with his COE Freightliner. He took a manual about wedge brakes and how to adjust them with us. ln case we ran into a DOT inspector that didn't know what they were. lol .....Hippy
