HUD Secretary Scott Turner Rejects Asheville’s $225M Disaster Relief Request After Shocking DEI Clause Exposed

Housing and Urban Development (HUD) Secretary Scott Turner has decisively rejected Asheville, North Carolina’s outrageous $225 million disaster relief request.

The reason? A jaw-dropping Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion (DEI) clause buried deep in the city’s draft action plan—a clause that prioritizes woke ideology over the urgent needs of everyday Americans still reeling from Hurricane Helene’s devastation six months ago.

In an interview with Fox Business’s Maria Bartiromo, Secretary Turner condemned the city’s initial draft action plan for prioritizing assistance based on race and gender identity rather than need.

“This draft action plan that the city of Asheville presented at first has elements of DEI, and that is not acceptable to HUD,” Turner told Bartiromo.

“It’s not acceptable to the President, according to his executive order to get rid of all DEI. We’re working with the city of Asheville. They have been very responsive to make sure that their upcoming draft action plan is in compliance with HUD and how we give funds out according to HUD’s principles.”

“We’re happy to be here. They’re working with us, and we’re looking forward to helping the people of Asheville recover from this disaster.”

Risking World War III – For a Woke Agenda?

Without being a fear monger I have tried for five years to warn the world as to the globalist takeover of all democratic nation states and institutions by globalist forces.

But it is such a large and pervasive scheme it is difficult for we – as average citizens – to even begin to grasp – and even harder for me as a writer to communicate.

Nevertheless it is a reality and has led to us as constitutional republics to be enslaved by nefarious forces without our knowledge.

I share material from other sources freely when I feel a source can encapsulate and describe what is happening in an understandable way which I cannot provide in essay format.

And because we live in a world where much of our communication is fed through the internet in the form of video this is going to involve the sharing of educational and informative videos.

Those who do not watch may consider that they are not fully informed as to the content of this essay.

New Study Reveals How DEI Training Increases Hostility

President Trump has recently taken decisive action against Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion (DEI) programs within the federal government by signing executive orders that dismantle these initiatives. His actions include revoking an order by Lyndon B. Johnson on affirmative action for federal contractors and placing all federal DEI staff on paid administrative leave with plans for their eventual layoff. These moves have sparked significant controversy, with critics arguing that they undo decades of progress toward racial and gender equity in federal employment, while supporters believe they restore merit-based governance.

This fulfills Trump’s campaign promise to eliminate what he describes as “radical and wasteful” DEI programs, aligning with his commitment to a colorblind, merit-based society. The controversy reflects a broader debate on the role of government in promoting diversity versus ensuring equal opportunity based solely on merit. But what does the evidence show?

The Rise of Woke Indoctrination

Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion (DEI) initiatives have become increasingly prevalent in workplaces, educational institutions, and other organizations across the United States. These programs’ stated goals are to foster more inclusive environments, reduce bias, and promote equity for all individuals. A key component of many DEI programs is diversity pedagogy, which often includes lectures, trainings, and educational resources designed to educate participants about their own biases and the ‘systemic nature of oppression.’

A growing body of research suggests that DEI programs, particularly those emphasizing “anti-oppressive” frameworks, have consequences that are completely opposite of their stated goals. While many might give DEI practitioners the benefit of the doubt and see these trainings as well-intentioned, that is up for debate. This study, conducted by the Network Contagion Research Institute (NCRI) and Rutgers University, investigates the potential for these programs to increase intergroup hostility and even contribute to the rise of authoritarian tendencies.

DEI programs backfire: Studies show they increase hostility, fueling Trump’s push for meritocracy

President Donald Trump has made a lot of headlines for his decisive action against Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion (DEI) programs within the federal government in an attempt to dismantle what he calls “radical and wasteful” initiatives. His executive orders, which include revoking Lyndon B. Johnson’s affirmative action policies and placing federal DEI staff on paid leave, have reignited a fierce debate over the role of government in promoting diversity versus merit-based governance. But as Trump’s critics decry the move as a step backward, a growing body of research suggests that DEI programs may be doing more harm than good — increasing hostility, fostering division, and even promoting authoritarian tendencies.

The controversy comes as a new study from the Network Contagion Research Institute (NCRI) and Rutgers University reveals that DEI training often backfires, exacerbating the very problems it claims to solve. The findings, which align with Trump’s push for a colorblind, merit-based society, raise urgent questions about the effectiveness and unintended consequences of these widely implemented programs.

The rise of DEI and its unintended consequences

DEI initiatives have become a staple in workplaces, universities, and government agencies across the nation, with the stated goal of fostering inclusivity and reducing bias. However, the NCRI study, which involved over 3,000 participants, found that exposure to DEI materials emphasizing systemic oppression and victimization led to heightened perceptions of bias, increased support for punitive measures, and a rise in intergroup hostility.

Participants exposed to DEI materials, including works by prominent anti-racist authors, were more likely to perceive racial bias in neutral scenarios and endorse harsh punishments for perceived offenses — even when no wrongdoing occurred. For example, in a hypothetical college admissions scenario, participants exposed to DEI materials were significantly more likely to accuse an admissions officer of racial bias, despite a lack of evidence.

Hostility and authoritarianism on the rise

The study’s findings are alarming. Participants exposed to DEI narratives showed a 12% increase in support for suspending individuals accused of bias, a 16% increase in demands for public apologies, and a 12% increase in calls for mandatory DEI training. These punitive attitudes were not limited to race; similar patterns emerged in scenarios involving religion and caste.

Perhaps most concerning is the study’s revelation that DEI materials fostered authoritarian tendencies. Participants exposed to these narratives were more likely to demonize perceived “oppressor” groups and support the suppression of dissenting views. “What we found is that when people are exposed to this ideology, they become hostile without any indication that anything racist has happened,” said Joel Finkelstein, NCRI’s Chief Science Officer and co-author of the study.

How Obama’s FAA used a skewed multiple-choice quiz to prioritize DEI applicants and bar the brightest from air traffic controller jobs

A job questionnaire for aspiring air traffic controllers introduced by the Obama administration was designed to meet secret DEI target numbers, DailyMail.com can reveal. 

The aspiring controllers were given extra credit for being ‘risk takers’, in the bizarre multiple-choice quiz to secretly prioritize DEI applicants. 

It required virtually no knowledge of aviation to pass but top marks were awarded to candidates who ‘need a great deal of time to complete assignments’ and ‘take chances very often’.  

And playing three or more sports in high school was rated more valuable than having a stint as an air traffic controller in the military.

Now DailyMail.com has obtained the quiz so you can see how you would fare. 

The 2014 entry test proved notoriously hard to pass for elite, mostly white college graduates who excelled in traditional cognitive tests.

But race reformers said it paved the way for more ‘off the street’ hires – namely women and minorities – to land high stakes jobs responsible for the lives of millions of air passengers.

‘Bonkers is the right word for this,’ one aviation expert told DailyMail.com.

Pentagon Is Removing DEI Material from ‘All Official Online Content’

The Pentagon is removing diversity, equity, and inclusion materials from “all official online content.”

Chief Pentagon Spokesman Sean Parnell sent the directive to the entire department on Wednesday.

The memo, titled “Digital Content Refresh,” was obtained by Breitbart News and read as follows:

By March 5, 2025, Components must take all practicable steps, consistent with records management requirements, to remove al DoD news and feature articles, photos, and videos that promote Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion (DEI). All articles, photos, and videos removed from DoD websites and social media platforms must be archived and retained in accordance with applicable records management policies.

DEl content includes but is not limited to information that promotes programs, concepts, or materials about critical race theory, gender ideology, and preferential treatment or quotas based upon sex, race or ethnicity, or other DEI-related matters with respect ot promotion and selection reform, advisory boards, councils, and working groups.

Content requiring removal also includes that which is counter to merit-based or color-blind policies (e.g., articles that focus on immutable characteristics, such as race, ethnicity, or sex) or promotes cultural awareness months as outlined in Secretary Hegseth’s January 31, 2025, Memorandum, “Identity Months Dead at DoD.”

Breitbart reports, “It said explicitly that the guidance does not apply to content required by law to be publicly available or related to normal installation or component operations and activities, including but not limited to, customer-focused content,” which includes base conditions, activies and services; current and historical leadership biographies; DoD Education Activity school activities, operations and notifications; and Morale, Welfare, and Recreation and Commissary operations and activities.

Brown Medical School Puts DEI Ahead Of Clinical Skills

According to Campus Reform, “Brown University Medical School values a commitment to Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion (DEI) over actual “clinical skills” when it comes to promoting faculty members.”

This is very frightening and disturbing to normal Americans.

The proof that this is going on is in the pudding. According to Campus Reform, ” The promotion guidelines classify a “[d]emonstrated commitment to diversity, equity, and inclusion” as a “Major Criterion” for promotion for several positions. More specifically, it entails pushing for DEI in “Research,” “Teaching,” “Clinical care,” and “Service.”

A surgeon actually told Washington Free Beacon, “DEI in medical schools is all about. And it’s not about clinical performance.”

Even more disturbing is that The Association of American Colleges organized a seminar promoting DEI in everything.

Fortunately, President Trump is taking a sledge hammer to DEI unfortunately however the schools continue in at least in some cases to defy this.

Brown University’s medical school’s website has an entire page dedicated to “Diversity,” which states that “multicultural perspectives” are “critical to the success” of the school.

DEI doesn’t belong anywhere especially not in the medical profession or medical schools.

Democratic Wisconsin Gov. Tony Evers proposes changing ‘mother’ to ‘inseminated person’ in state law

Wisconsin Gov. Tony Evers, a Democrat, is facing backlash for introducing a budget recommendation that changes the word “mother” to “inseminated person,” and “paternity” to “parentage” in certain parts of state law.

The Evers administration’s budget recommendation for the 2025-2027 fiscal period advises several other gendered terms be changed, as well. References to “wife” or “husband” are changed to “spouse” in the proposal. In other places, the word “father” is changed to “parent,” and “mother” is swapped out for the phrase “parent who gave birth to the child.”

The budget was introduced by the state Senate’s Joint Committee on Finance on Tuesday.

Wisconsin radio host Dan O’Donnell noted the language change in a post on X, calling it “beyond parody.” Sen. Mike Lee, R-Utah, commented on the post, writing simply “red flag!”

The Republican Governors Association (RGA) issued a statement in response to the language changes.

Evers’ “latest left-wing push” is “offensive to mothers,” RGA executive director Sara Craig said in a statement. “Being a mother is the greatest privilege I will have in my lifetime, and every mother I know feels the same. If Tony Evers can reduce motherhood to an ‘inseminated person’ then our society is lost.”

The mystery surrounding the Delta pilot deepens: Here’s the latest…

The mystery surrounding the latest Delta Airlines crash just keeps deepening. The crash itself was shocking to witness—and it’s nothing short of a miracle that no one died.

But in today’s world, where the skies feel less friendly than ever thanks to progressive ideology that has taken over corporate America, it’s no surprise that when a crash happens, all eyes turn to DEI.

And that’s not a stretch. Delta Airlines has made no secret of going all-in on their DEI agenda—a move that just so happens to coincide with a sharp decline in consumer confidence with the airline industry.

Tyler Fischer:

This is from Delta’s DEI website. An airline OBSESSED with the race and sexual preferences of their workers. Think the passengers who almost died in Toronto give a flying FUCK about if the pilot blows dudes or the flight attendant’s great grandma was a non binary Native American? Just land the damn plane right side up. Look at their site it’s insane: https://delta.com/us/en/about-delta/diversity
