It’s ironic, and amusing, that “diversity” partially derives from an Old French word meaning “wickedness, perversity” and, perhaps more fittingly, from a Latin term meaning “contrariety, contradiction, disagreement.” Of course, it doesn’t mean anything approximating that in its standard usage today, yet it may as well if a new government report is any guide.

Compiled in Britain, the report found what research in the United States has also revealed:

Diversity programs don’t achieve their desired goals, can actually be counterproductive, and are, consequently, a waste of billions of pounds (or dollars).

We discussed how the statists are importing millions of illegals — a foreign army — to help them achieve unassailable political power nationwide. And part of this involves using these people to steal, via the apportionment process, congressional seats from more conservative states. My segment is the very first one and begins right after the introduction (which is worth watching), at 8:37.

Does “dumbed down” epitomize today’s America? Many would answer yes, pointing to affirmative-action Ivy League presidents and even air-traffic controllers as cases in point. Now there’s another example, too:

The Metropolitan Nashville Police Department (MNPD) is eliminating its “physical ability test.” Why?

It’s not that the recent-years attacks on law enforcement have created a recruiting shortfall (though this could possibly be an exacerbating factor). Rather, the powers that be want to get more women on the force.

Talk about saying the quiet part out loud.

People aiming to destroy America will generally deny their motivations and hide behind a facade of “enlightened” civil-rights activism. One Kayla Aliese Carter no doubt often did, too, which perhaps explains her being hired by College Park, Maryland, to be their “racial equity officer.” But she apparently couldn’t contain her passions 24/7. In fact, it has emerged that the tattooed and pierced 30-year-old — who’s given $75,600 yearly to push wokeness via government — proclaimed on social media that she believed in violent revolution against the U.S. to achieve “black liberation.”

“I can’t wait for society to collapse,” she wrote, “so MY ideology can rise from the ashes.”

Some say it was the worst call they’ve ever seen in high-school basketball.

The scene was the recent NJSIAA Group 2 state semifinal game between New Jersey team Camden — a powerhouse that hadn’t lost to another NJ public-school squad in five years — and underdog Manasquan. Down 46-45 after Camden player Alijah Curry sank a couple of free throws, Manasquan drove down the floor with 5.8 seconds left on the clock. One of its players took a long shot, which bounced off the rim — into the waiting hand of teammate Griffin Linstra, who laid the ball up through the hoop, releasing it with 0.6 seconds left on the clock. 

The Central Regional High School gymnasium erupted in celebration, with Linstra’s shot being called good. But then it happened.

A Camden coach ran over and tapped one of the exiting officials, Kevin Torres, on the shoulder, and “a group of Camden coaches pleaded for the referees to meet,” reported NJ.com. The refs then consulted for a short time — and overturned the call. Incredulity among sober observers was the result.

Then there was a secondary result: accusations of anti-white bias.

We “are losing our kids to a satanic cult,” said Senator Tommy Tuberville (R-Ala.) Friday. “We’ve lost our moral values across the country.”

Tuberville made his comments while speaking to approximately 100 GOP delegates at a warehouse in Bluffdale, Utah, while campaigning for U.S. Senate candidate Trent Staggs, a Republican who’s running to fill the seat being vacated by Senator Mitt Romney.

If you’re wondering why millions of illegals are being allowed to flood our country via an open border, know that there’s method to the madness. For one thing, if these aliens are allowed to stay, points out Senator Bill Hagerty (R-Tenn.), they can give Democrats 13 extra congressional seats.

How is this possible? Well, the number of seats a state has is directly proportional to its population size. And when the population is determined via the census, all persons (including illegals) in a state are counted — not just all citizens.

Outrageously, this means states can get congressional seats, and hence greater power, based on the presence of people who (ostensibly) can’t actually vote to determine who’ll fill those seats. Call it congressional seat creation without representation.

Mottos and slogans do sometimes change, for better or worse. Google retired “Don’t be evil” in 2015; some may say rightly so, too, that its standard now is “Don’t be evil — leave that to us.” Reebok had a slogan “Cheat on your girlfriend, not on your workout” that ran only briefly in Germany, for obvious reasons. Nivea had a “White is Purity” slogan that hit the market in 2017 in the Mideast, but was quickly nixed because, as any wokester knows, “white is privilege.” And now media claim that the vaunted military academy West Point has joined the club.

That is, its mission statement “Duty, Honor, Country” has been “exchanged,” media point out, for “Army values.” What are army values?

(Well, it would depend on what army you’re talking about. See Attila the Hun, Genghis Khan et al.)

“We grow too soon old and too late smart,” goes an old Dutch proverb. We all experience this, too, sometimes having a realization and then, if we’re sufficiently humble, thinking “Why didn’t that occur to me sooner?” Yet many might hope (surely in vain) that the people influencing government policy wouldn’t have to wait until they’re 78 to apprehend the obvious. And this is exactly what has happened with one Professor Angus Deaton, an Ivy League economist who now, wizened and just a bit wiser, has finally repudiated his “immigrationism.”

In fairness, though, he’s doing far better than famed “intellectual” the late Henry Kissinger: He was 100 years old when he woke up and warned last year that modern (im)migration is balkanizing the West.

Deaton, writing at the International Monetary Fund (IMF) website, also outlined his renunciation of other long-held beliefs, such as globalism.

When President Donald Trump proposed using the military to quell the violent riots tearing up our country in 2020, the Left portrayed it as an intolerable authoritarian instinct. But now National Guard troops are on New York City subways to help maintain order — courtesy of left-wing governor Kathy Hochul — and what’s the reaction?

Barely a peep.
