Another day, another wild ride for markets. The Dow has been down and up 4 times so far, with the NASDAQ and S&P still down. Love those tariffs.

Trump won big in court at the district court level on Friday when a judge in Washington, D.C. ruled that the government can move full steam ahead with a series of executive orders aimed at rooting out DEI.

'Have not come close': Trump wins court victory over nonprofits who challenged anti-DEI orders

"The government does not abridge the right to free speech by choosing not to subsidize it, and that right does not permit Plaintiffs or anyone else to violate federal anti-discrimination law."

You never heard " Buy the dips " ?
Seriously paul, you should stop pretending that you know anything about investing in the markets, because you clearly don't.

The Indivisible Group and 50501 are planning a No Kings protest for 6/14/25 when Trump wants a military parade on his birthday. They expect at least 1000 of these in the U.S.

404 Hackers have hacked into the flights that spirited off the hundreds of people Trump sent off to El Salvador. They also hacked the Waltz group that was ongoing during the Trump Cabinet meeting last time. Man, I love those guys.

DEI? Who wants to make anything fair for everyone??? Hell no, Down with fair!!! Gota keep working that white privilege anywhere and everywhere I can! ain't that right, cowboy?!

Last Wednesday at Trump's cabinet meeting his appointment to lead the FAA said he was worried about the systems and that people would die if the system wasn't upgraded. Turns out that the problems at Newark were much worse than anyone thought. For a full minute and a half the system failed and no one could see the flights or communicate with them. When will we get a working government again?

DEI is RACISM !
When you hire based on race/gender rather than hiring the most qualified person regardless of race/gender that is the definition of race/gender discrimination, DEI is RACISM !
If we are going to be fair/equal then let everyone hire based on qualifications, let people compete without race/gender being involved.

Even Elon Must has called DEI Racism

DEI, Sold as a Way To Promote Racial Harmony, Does Just the Opposite

Programs designed to instill “diversity, equity and inclusion” (DEI) do not promote racial harmony. The trainings, which have become commonplace in schools, workplaces and government agencies nationwide, may in fact be manipulative, unlicensed attempts at psychology. Just ask Chad Ellis.

The DEI industry really isn’t about diversity, equity OR inclusion

Most Americans are all for diversity, equity and inclusion. But Diversity, Equity and Inclusion programs have proved to be about nothing but rank racism.

That's, Trump's narrative now, but it is still just a lie. Minorities have always been discriminated against and Whites never have been. It's nonsense to believe White people are the victims here.

Racism is racism, white or black doesn't matter, when people are discriminated against based on race, any race, that is racism.
DEI is RACISM !

Of course you say that. That's Trump's narrative. It is repugnant to believe White people are victims. That has never been the case.

Of course it is, wink, wink, we couldn't call it what it really is, so now we call it "RACISM"! I get it...

You don't have to sell me, brother...

Musk? Well, if the white guy throwing up Nazi salutes and was born and raised in the stronghold of apartheid South Africa calls it "RACISM", that's good enough for me! He's got a lot of money, so he can't be wrong...


NOW, about tariffs, Rand Paul knows exactly what's going on with the trump tariffs, and he is SPOT ON!!!!

 

[RedCowboy]

DEI is racism because it discriminates based on race !

The tariffs won't be high forever and in the long run the US will be better off.
