Trump just killed federal affirmative action. The new Trump EO goes beyond even no longer mandating affirmative action among contractors. While DEI was required to get government contracts before, now it’s prohibited.
Christopher Caldwell says this is way bigger than people may think:
"Trump’s decision to repeal it is the most significant policy change of this century—more significant than the Affordable Care Act of 2010 or anything done about Covid. How can people be talking about anything else? Yet major news outlets treat Trump’s bold move as a detail of personnel management: “Distress and Fury as Trump Upends Federal Jobs,” headlined The New York Times.
"Somewhere along the line, the Trump administration came to understand in a sophisticated way how the enforcement of civil rights actually works. Not many Americans do—and it’s worth reviewing.
"It was possible to believe at the time of the Civil Rights Act of 1964 that a good-faith moral commitment would suffice to remedy the devilish racial antagonism that had beset the country since its founding. That that wouldn’t work became obvious very quickly. Barely a year later, at the start of the summer of 1965, President Johnson argued before a Howard University graduating class that it’s not fair to make a runner “who, for years, has been hobbled by chains” compete with others.
"It sounded generous. But it was dark. Three months later, Johnson would issue Executive Order 11246, realizing that it was possible to remedy a racist system only by favoring the victim race, in doses of remedial racism, or what the British—apparently a more straightforward people than we are—call “reverse racism.”
"This was a course that the public could not tolerate and neither government nor business could avow. A climate of dishonesty was the result. Affirmative action was a big factor—perhaps the biggest—in convincing about half of Americans never to trust anything any person of authority said.
"Ten presidents managed to insulate affirmative action from public accountability. Then it became obvious to the public that changing anything would require dismantling everything."
We don’t know. Are plans being made for a magnificent sarcophagus? Something like the huge, elaborate one he imagined for Charlie Kirk? Not that I know of. When will be the day of his death? I don’t know, but his Creator has already appointed the day and the hour.
Will his funeral be meaningful, theologically? With Christian theology? I don’t know that either.
But I have been impressed with the funeral of one great nobleman who died 25 years ago at age 99, buried in Austria. His final resting place was not elaborate, but significant. It was in the crypt of a Capuchin church, the place where his royal ancestors, monarchs of a vast, 600-year-old empire, had been entombed for centuries. The crypt was locked and guarded by Capuchin friars.
Prince Otto von Habsburg, born in 1912, would have been the next in line as king of that empire, but Hitler invaded Austria and ordered the arrest and murder of the prince, who escaped into Europe and played a leading role in world affairs for ...
First, ivermectin appears to target cancer stem cells—the small, highly resistant population of cells that drive recurrence and metastasis. Most conventional therapies fail to eliminate these cells. You can shrink a tumor, but if the stem cells remain, the cancer often comes back. Laboratory data suggest ivermectin disrupts this root system.
Second, mebendazole interferes with microtubule formation, which is essential for cell division. When you disrupt microtubules, cancer cells lose their ability to replicate effectively. This creates a direct anti-proliferative effect.
Third, mebendazole also impacts tumor metabolism, particularly glucose utilization. Cancer cells are heavily dependent on glucose to fuel rapid growth. Limiting that pathway places them under significant metabolic stress.

In about ten hours the polls in Hungary open. Then, over the next 13 hours Hungarians will decide if they want a culture of life or a culture of death and slavery. Those stakes affect not just one nation, and not just one continent but the entire Western world.
If elected again, the current government of Viktor Orban will continue boldly down the path which will honor Christian Hungary’s thousand-year legacy of fighting for freedom. Orban will continue unashamedly to champion the case for a painstaking return to a European Christendom. He is setting the example of how that can be done, even in a land oppressed by decades by communism.
The alternative candidate is a feckless puppet of the popular globalist agenda, which will then sweep over Hungary like a storm, destroying Hungary’s progress, sovereignty, economy, freedom of speech and courageous governmental reforms. But most threatening of all is the plan to invalidate and annihilate all of Orban’s efforts to remind Hungary of ...
