    Trump Orders Purge of 'Critical Race Theory' from Federal Agencies

    At the direction of President Trump, the White House Office of Management and Budget will move to identify and eliminate any trace of “critical race theory” in the federal government.
    Critical race theory is the leftist, racist doctrine that forms the intellectual underpinnings of Black Lives Matter, Antifa, and other radical organizations currently engaged in unrest on America’s streets.

    It alleges, among other things, that the United States is a white supremacist country, and that all white people are guilty of racism, whether they intend it or not.

    President Trump has brought the issue of far-left indoctrination to the forefront of the national conversation in recent months. It was a major theme of the President’s Independence Day speech at Mt. Rushmore, in which he condemned far-left theories that “defame our heroes, erase our values, and indoctrinate our children.”

    Russ Vought, director of the Office of Management and Budget, announ
    ced on Twitter that the Trump administration will bring any dabbling in such theories by the federal government to a swift end.

    “The days of taxpayer funded indoctrination trainings that sow division and racism are over,” said Vought. “Under the direction of [President Trump], we are directing agencies to halt critical race theory trainings immediately.”

    According to the text of the memo sent out by OMB:
    All agencies are directed to begin to identify all contracts or other agency spending related to any training on “critical race theory,” “white privilege,” or any other training or propaganda effort that teaches or suggests either (1) that the United States is an inherently racist or evil country or (2) that any race or ethnicity is inherently racist or evil.

    The divisive, false, and demeaning propaganda of the critical race theory movement is contrary to all we stand for as Americans and should have no place in the Federal government,” concludes the memo.

    Perhaps I'm reading this wrong, but would this eliminate training topics that discuss understanding the racism that has existed in the USA in the past? For example, understanding Jim Crow laws, red lining, slavery, etc.?

    Thank you brother for carrying this torch. I know what you do here does make a difference in terms of balancing out all the hate, vitriol and lies about Mr Trump.

    The images of a bunch of Trump supporters having a boat parade is impressive, even if some of them ended up sinking. It's a metaphor.

    During the NC rally, Trump reiterated his new plan that Mexico will pay for the wall via tolls. This is a new plan he has devised that he first mentioned a few weeks ago. Let's do some math. A low end cost for the wall is $10,000,000,000.

    Currently around 5,000,000 cars annually cross the border. At $1 a pop that's 2000 years.

    His base continues to eat this stuff up without thinking. Of course his ultimate plan is to make the toll so high, that Mexicans will refuse to pay and, thus, not enter the country.

    Oh, for Christ's sake. trump deserves a Nobel Peace Prize about as much as Hitler deserved it for convincing Chamberlain they had accomplished "peace in our time."

    Hey, keep looking. I'm sure you can find more "positive" things to post about trump, and more "negative" things to post about Obama and/ or Biden.

    He wants a Nobel? How about stopping Cops from killing Black people for the helluva it. Pass legislation with Police Standard across the USA. Otherwise, like everything in Trump's life, The MiddleEast deal is a Sham of smoke and mirrors. Announce with no real agreements.

    Oh, btw, the person who nominated him is a RIGHT-WING Extremist lawmaker who is Anti-Immigration, Racist, and just an overall bad guy.

    He downplayed kung flu and walked around maskless while hiding the ridiculous amount privileged germophobia he has.

    Will put him in a hall of heroes under maximum security.
