Promises made, promises kept. President Donald J. Trump recently signed an executive order to dismantle the far-left’s obsession with Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion (DEI) within the federal government. This move, effective at 5 PM tomorrow, is set to close all federal DEI offices—because who needs a taxpayer-funded division dedicated to political correctness? The result will be that employees in these roles are placed on paid leave, allowing them the time to ponder just how much their “wokeness” really meant to the job.
DEI initiatives have been a costly social experiment that has contributed more to divisiveness than to any constructive outcome. Reports have shown that these programs do nothing but waste taxpayer funds, promote racial division, and add layers of shameful discrimination wrapped in the guise of progressivism. The Trump administration is putting a firm foot down, signaling that enough is enough when it comes to this nonsense. Federal agencies are now ready to pivot away from the absurdity that has plagued government operations for far too long.
All Federal DEI department employees are being put on leave effective immediately, the offices will be closed and training will end. 🔥

The memo sent out by the U.S. Office of Personnel Management indicates the systematic closure of DEI offices across the board. This proactive stance is aimed at unifying Americans rather than dividing them. Trump has repeatedly emphasized the need to refocus on what elevates the country rather than what drags it down, and this order is a big step in that direction. At least federal employees will get a paid vacation while they contemplate their fate in a world that is no longer held hostage by liberal dogma.
The news is being met with cheers from countless Americans who are tired of seeing their hard-earned tax dollars squandered on initiatives that prioritize identity politics over merit. With each passing day, the Trump administration is wiping away the stains of the previous administration’s policies that led to endless complaints about racism and injustice, instead choosing to foster a sense of unity based on shared values rather than superficial differences.
The revocation of Executive Order 11246, originally signed by President Lyndon B. Johnson in 1965, signifies a bold break from the past. This move is not just about closing offices and sending workers home; it represents a declaration that merit should triumph over mediocrity dressed as “inclusivity.” As the dust settles, one thing becomes clear: the era of wokeness in the federal government is officially over, ushering in a new age of common sense and accountability.
