Trump Ends Democrats’ DEI War on Police, Firemen, and Public Safety

The Trump administration has dismissed a series of DEI lawsuits brought by the Biden administration which claimed physical fitness tests had no bearing on someone’s ability to be a policeman or fireman. The Biden Justice Department insisted that written or physical tests were not “job related,” and even claimed that testing applicants is racist and sexist — because not enough women or minorities could pass them. One of Biden’s lawsuits branded the policies of then-Mayor Pete Buttigieg’s police force as discrimination.

The genius of the second Trump administration has been its ability to enact commonsense reforms exposing left-wing policies that are unhinged and unpopular, improve the core functions of government, restore power to the American people, and make liberals react in a way that makes them and their policies even more unhinged and unpopular.

Perhaps no case illustrates this trend than the disposing of four Biden-Harris lawsuits, which the White House said “lowered standards and endangered public safety” to promote left-wing ideology. “American communities deserve firefighters and police officers to be chosen for their skill and dedication to public safety — not to meet DEI quotas,” said Attorney General Pam Bondi as she dismissed the lawsuits last Wednesday. The Trump administration is “dedicated to ending illegal discrimination and restoring merit-based opportunity nationwide,” especially for “front-line public-safety workers who protect our nation,” because “[p]rioritizing DEI over merit when selecting firefighters and police officers jeopardizes public safety.”

Interestingly, one of the Biden-Harris administration’s lawsuits targeted policies overseen by a member of its own Cabinet.

Suing Pete Buttigieg’s South Bend

The Biden Justice Department filed a legal complaint that the South Bend police force required applicants to pass physical fitness and written aptitude tests since at least 2016. The mayor of South Bend from 2012 to 2020 was none other than Pete Buttigieg, the failed 2020 presidential hopeful and Transportation secretary who now presents himself as a born-again DEI opponent as he eyes a run for higher office in Michigan. “From 2016 through August 2019, approximately 87.6 percent of male test-takers passed the PFT, while approximately 45.5 percent of female test-takers passed,” stated the DOJ lawsuit. Around August 2019, the department “lowered the passing standards,” and something curious happened. “Since August 2019, approximately 83.8 percent of male test-takers passed the PFT, while approximately 47.4 percent of female test-takers passed.”

That is, the number of women who passed the less rigorous physical test rose by 2.9%. But is it plausible that fewer men could pass the test’s weaker criteria?

The new test outcomes prove that, if Mayor Pete’s police force engaged in job discrimination, it certainly did not disadvantage women. Yet the change did not satisfy the Biden administration, which sued to foist its views on South Bend once Buttigieg moved away and no longer had to face the electoral consequences.

Biden’s DOJ aimed a similar lawsuit at the Maryland Department of State Police, because the MDSP required applicants to pass a Functional Fitness Assessment Test (which has the unfortunate acronym “FFAT”). Applicants had to do 18 push-ups in one minute, 27 sit-ups in one minute, have the flexibility to sit down and stretch their fingers 1.5 inches past their toes, and run 1.5 miles in 15 minutes, 20 seconds. The majority of applicants passed: 81% of men and 51% of women. MDSP applicants also had to get at least a 70% on the written test, the Police Officer Selection Test (POST), in its three categories of reading, writing, and grammar. The DOJ reported that an even larger majority of applicants cleared this hurdle: 91% of whites and 71% of blacks passed the POST. Yet shortly after Republican Governor Larry Hogan left office, the Biden-Harris administration began negotiating a settlement with up-and-coming Democratic Governor Wes Moore (who happens to be black).

Employing White Firemen ‘Undermines Public Safety’: Biden Admin

The lawsuits were filed by the leader of Biden’s DOJ civil rights division, then-Assistant Attorney General Kristen Clarke, who holds an idiosyncratic view of public safety. “The under-representation of [b]lack people in the fire department workforce in Durham, and across the country, undermines public safety efforts,” said Clarke without proof.

Her words echoed the views of Los Angeles Fire Department Deputy Fire Chief Kristine Larson, who asserted (again, without proof) that a rescue worker who “looks like you” gives victims “a little bit more ease, knowing that somebody might understand their situation better.” The deputy chieftess dismissed concerns that she or others lack the sorts of qualifications South Bend and Maryland hoped to test. People frequently asked, “‘Is she strong enough to do this?’” Larson revealed. Some said, “‘You couldn’t carry my husband out of a fire.’ [To] which my response is, ‘He got himself in the wrong place if I have to carry him out of a fire.’”

Indeed. That would be implicit in his being surrounded by flames. But if a woman lacks the muscle to fulfill her taxpayer-funded job duties to save human lives, she has gotten herself in the wrong place.

Clarke claimed any policy that disproportionately harms a minority group may ipso facto be considered racist. For instance, she sued the Durham (North Carolina) Fire Department, because the DFD’s written test “disqualified Black applicants from employment at significantly disproportionate rates.” Her DOJ claimed Title VII of the Civil Rights Act “prohibits not only intentional discrimination but also employment practices that result in a disparate impact on a protected group, unless such practices are job related and consistent with business necessity.” However, the Supreme Court largely invented the doctrine of “disparate impact” in its 1971 ruling in Griggs v. Duke Power Company. In the end, the term’s definition came from neither the legislative nor the judicial branch but from the unelected bureaucracy. “Agencies, not courts, first developed disparate impact under the Civil Rights Act of 1964,” noted Olatunde C.A. Johnson of Columbia Law School in a 2014 paper on the legal doctrine’s pedigree. He argued in favor of “the continuing role that federal administrative agencies play in shaping the meaning of disparate impact today.”

These are perfect lawsuits for social engineers whose radical commitment to imposing left-wing ideology exceeds everything, including human life. Clarke — for whom the Article III Project made a criminal referral after she allegedly committed perjury by misleading Congress about her history of domestic violence — also sued the state of Utah for refusing to house male inmates who identify as transgender in female prisons. Once again, Clarke justified the radical doctrine in identity politics wrapped in the guise of civil rights: Clarke called housing males in female prisons a “basic right [which] extends to those with gender dysphoria.”

The Biden administration’s Justice Department sued the state of Tennessee over its aggravated prostitution law (§ 39-13-516), which punishes with a Class C felony anyone who knowingly sells sex for money after testing positive for HIV/AIDS, on the grounds that state lawmakers “unlawfully discriminate against individuals with human immunodeficiency virus (HIV), a disability.” Only a radical left-wing ideologue could treat a law designed to restrict the spread of the world’s deadliest virus as conservatives’ hard-hearted attempt to pick on cripples.

Of course, the Biden-Harris administration began promoting DEI radicalism in its first day in office via Executive Order 13985, “Advancing Racial Equity and Support for Underserved Communities Through the Federal Government.” That became the first of 78 Biden-era executive orders President Donald Trump repealed on day one.

The president’s disapproval has only caused the Left to double down on DEI. Minnesota Attorney General Keith Ellison (D) insisted anyone trying “to eradicate DEI is saying, ‘We’re going to eradicate black and brown people and women and gay people and people with disabilities.’” (That may not be the most logical construction of the underlying sentence.) Another Minnesota Democrat, State Rep. Alicia “Liish” Kozlowski of Duluth (who identifies as non-binary) recently called a bill to prevent men from competing in women’s sports “another example of state-sanctioned bullying and genocide.” But while the Left insists ending DEI programs ranks a human rights atrocity somewhere between the Armenian Genocide and the Holodomor, Democrats censor anyone who complains about the impact of state-sponsored racism and sexism. “I am tired of the white tears,” said Rep. Jasmine Crockett (D-Texas). “The only people that are crying are the mediocre white boys that have been beaten out.”

The Left will soon have more to lament. “Today’s dismissal is an early step toward eradicating illegal DEI preferences across the government and in the private sector,” said Bondi. But Christians should rejoice.

Replacing Liberal Extremism with Constitutional Order and Biblical Morality

The Trump administration’s legal reversal restores one of the core functions of government. “God hath certainly appointed government to restrain the partiality and violence of men,” wrote John Locke in his Second Treatise on Government. The chief end of the law is “to protect and redress the innocent, by an unbiassed application of it, to all who are under it; wherever that is not bona fide done, war is made upon the sufferers, who having no appeal on earth to right them, they are left to the only remedy in such cases, an appeal to heaven,” added Locke, the philosopher most quoted by the Founding Fathers. “To avoid this state of war … is one great reason of men’s putting themselves into society.”

More importantly for Christians, halting lawsuits that put racial discrimination over public safety conforms to biblical morality. “Of a truth I perceive that God is no respecter of persons: But in every nation he that feareth Him, and worketh righteousness, is accepted with Him,” said the Apostle Peter (Acts 10:34). The principle comes from the Old Testament, which repeatedly emphasizes that diverse measures — such as disparate physical fitness standards — constitute a form of fraud (Proverbs 20:10). “One law and one manner shall be for you, and for the stranger that sojourneth with you,” wrote Moses (Numbers 15:16 and 29; see also Leviticus 24:22, among other verses).

For generations, Christians have prayed, “We beseech thee also, so to direct and dispose the hearts of all Christian rulers, that they may truly and impartially administer justice, to the punishment of wickedness and vice, and to the maintenance of Thy true religion, and virtue.” President Trump’s banishment of state-sponsored racism brought their prayers one step closer to reality.

Historically Democratic Demographics Ditching Biden for Trump

President Joe Biden is hemorrhaging support from a historically pro-Democrat voting bloc. The latest I&I/TIPP Poll published this week suggests that 59% of black voters favor Biden over his Republican opponent, former President Donald Trump. In 2020, a staggering 87% of black voters supported Biden, representing a drop of nearly 30 percentage points over the past four years.

Matt Carpenter, director of FRC Action, explained to The Washington Stand, “In past elections, a singular poll here or there would show Democratic support among black voters slipping, and the results on election day would confirm there was no significant movement of black support away from the Democrats. This election we have seen consistent polling showing this is happening.” He continued, “I think the reason is simple: a generational divide is forming within the voting black population. Younger black voters are coming of age, entering the voting booth, and are choosing candidates who fit their ideological preferences or who speak to their concerns about the direction of the country.”

Carpenter added, “They’re less likely to show loyalty to the Democratic Party if they don’t believe the Democratic Party is conservative enough for them, or isn’t doing enough to address their concerns about the state of the economy or the border or crime.” He concluded, “I suspect we will see this divide show up in a big way on November 5.”

Ken Blackwell, Family Research Council’s senior fellow for Human Rights and Constitutional Governance, explained to TWS why black voters are abandoning the Democratic presidential candidate in favor of Trump.

“The real break and movement away from the Republican Party happened in 1968, very much akin to what’s happening now: protests across campuses and in the major cities. The black vote has become the most stable demographic in the Democratic quiver since 1968,” he said. “What’s interesting to me now and is accounting for the shift is the bankruptcy of public safety initiatives in major Democratic cities that have become crime-ridden. Cities have become not fields of dreams but battlefields and fields of destruction. And safety is a big deal in the black community.”

Blackwell added, “Couple that with the fact that the lowest levels of black unemployment in history came under the first Trump term — he was growing the economy, there were meaningful jobs being created, he passed a very important Second Chance law for people who had been convicted of lesser crimes. He was walking the walk.”

“I think what you began to see starting in 2020 was a shift of the black male vote. All of the polling information reported that black males between the ages of 25 and 40 were in a high percentage beginning to take a serious look at Trump,” Blackwell clarified. “Right now, because of the safety problems in our cities, because of school choice, you’re starting to see some bleeding of the black female vote away from Biden too.”

He continued, “In places like Chicago, Cleveland, Milwaukee, this open-borders policy is killing Biden. It’s rhetorically catchy to say every state is a border state, but when you start to see Biden giving housing, cell phones, and clothes to illegal immigrants, people notice. And where are they locating them? In many cases, in black middle-class communities. So people are drawing the line. They just aren’t going to take it.”

“You can ‘not like’ Trump, but the reality is that he is consistent,” Blackwell further observed. “He basically campaigned in 2016 on his Second Chance program, and most politicians in general have campaign promises that they forget until the next election season. But there was so much consistency in what he promised and what he did when he was elected. And as a consequence, he in fact had his list of promises made. He became the first president to get 12 million more votes in his reelection campaign than he did in his first election. And that’s because he delivered — including to black communities across the country. So this might be the hardest pool of voters for him, particularly among black women, but the movement toward Trump is starting to be … significant.”

The I&I/TIPP Poll also showed Biden losing support among Hispanic voters. In 2020, Biden won 65% of the Hispanic demographic, against Trump’s 32%. Now, only 47% of Hispanic voters express support for Biden, while 26% back Trump and 13% back Independent candidate Robert F. Kennedy, Jr.

This is in line with polling data from the past several months, forming a trend. An Axios/Ipsos poll found that even though Hispanic voters largely identify as Democrats, Biden’s popularity among that demographic has fallen from 53% in 2021 to 41% as of last month. Meanwhile, Trump’s popularity among Hispanic voters has increased from 24% to 32%, diminishing Biden’s advantage over Trump from 29% to a mere 9%. Among Hispanic voters who say they plan to vote in November, Biden’s advantage falls even lower, to only 3%. A study published by the Pew Research Center also found that the share of Hispanic voters who identify as Democrats has fallen by 13 percentage points just since 2016.

Another historically Democratic voting bloc has also been abandoning Biden: American Catholics. A Pew Research Center survey last month found that Trump is leading Biden by 12 points (55% to 43%) among Catholic voters. In 2020, Trump maintained only a one-point advantage over Biden. Earlier this year, another survey showed that battleground state Catholics prefer Trump to Biden 54% to 31%, with 15% undecided.

Significantly, the survey found that Catholic voters consider Biden and the Democratic Party to be “too extreme” on abortion. A prior study found that Catholics have been steadily abandoning Democrats as their abortion advocacy has increased.

Congressman Says East Palestine Citizens Deserve Answers After Catastrophic Train Derailment

A Norfolk Southern train derailment that occurred two weeks ago in eastern Ohio still has not received the attention it should have from the federal government, said Representative Bill Johnson (R-Ohio) February 17 on “Washington Watch with Tony Perkins.” Those impacted by the disaster need answers, he insisted.

The February 3 incident and “controlled explosion” of leaking rail tanker cars by authorities in East Palestine, Ohio escaped the national media’s attention for days. Yet as a result of the derailment, 38 rail cars derailed, including 11 carrying hazardous materials, according to a National Transportation Safety Board press release.

The decision to drain and ignite the contents of the tankers, which carried vinyl chloride, prompted an intense explosion that sent a plume of dark smoke and particulates high over the town of nearly 5,000 people, has sparked controversy over the federal government’s response.

Citing the health and environmental concerns of those who live in the area, Johnson said the community remains in an “emergency phase.”

The Ohio congressman, whose district includes East Palestine, told “Washington Watch” guest host Jody Hice February 17 on “Washington Watch”that he has stood at ground zero of the train derailment and “controlled explosion.” “We can’t dismiss the claims of the community about some of the ailments that they’re seeing and the fears that they have for their children to go outside,” he said.

“My number one concern today is getting the people of this community the answers that they need,” Johnson emphasized. Johnson serves on the House Energy and Commerce Committee and the House Budget Committee. He complimented the work of the state and federal Environmental Protection Agencies in responding to the incident. “While there is still a long way to go,” Johnson continued, “they are making progress.”

Yet Johnson said what has happened in East Palestine should not happen in any community in the U.S. “The people here are frightened. They’re scared. They’re not getting answers to their questions …” the congressman continued.

“They’re concerned about the air in their homes and the water that they drink. And there’s been a lot of confusion,” Johnson said.

Residents of the eastern Ohio town are extremely frustrated and have “more questions than answers,” Hice agreed, noting U.S. Secretary of Transportation Pete Buttigieg has indicated he has no plans to visit East Palestine and that the Biden administration determined the region fails to qualify for federal disaster aid.

Johnson said he was surprised that Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA) denied the request for disaster funding. “If this doesn’t qualify as a disaster, I don’t know what does,” he said, noting he has reached out for an explanation. The congressman said as well that he was shocked that Secretary Buttigieg has not visited the site. Johnson noted the National Transportation Safety Board is moving forward with their own investigation of the matter.

He called Secretary Buttigieg’s February 13 statement on the East Palestine tragedy an “outrageous comment.”

Buttigieg told Yahoo! Finance Live that “… while this horrible situation has gotten a particularly high amount of attention, there are roughly 1,000 cases a year of a train derailing.”

“The secretary has been AWOL, absent without leave,” Johnson argued. “He just has not been tuned into this at all.” The congressman said Buttigieg’s comment suggests he is being “very lighthearted” about the incident.

Ohio Governor Mike DeWine (R) announced late Friday evening FEMA has reportedly reversed course and will respond to the emergency situation in East Palestine with federal resources.

Transgender Agenda Losing Support: Poll

Although left-wing activists often say they represent “the right side of history,” a well-regarded poll finds that support for a key item of the LGBTQ agenda has collapsed faster than virtually any other issue: Significantly fewer Americans support allowing men to use women’s restrooms in 2022 than in 2016.

“Americans are 17 percentage points more likely to favor” laws requiring the two sexes to use separate restrooms “today than they were in 2016, when the question was first asked,” according to the Public Religion Research Institute (PRRI). “In fact, 2022 saw the sharpest uptick of strong support for requiring transgender people to use bathrooms based on their” sex.

“Typically, opinion does not move so quickly on such issues,” PRRI notes.

Americans of all political views became less supportive of this plank of the LGBTQ agenda over the last six years, with registered independents switching their views completely. “In 2016, most independents opposed” laws respecting female privacy, “but by 2022 a small majority favored these laws,” the polling firm states in an article published on December 15.

Surprisingly, the number of Democrats backing restroom privacy laws has grown by four points in 2022 (31%) over the level in 2016 (27%), according to PRRI’s 2022 American Values Survey.

Support for laws respecting privacy in intimate settings spans all racial and ethnic backgrounds, religions, and nearly all generations. A majority of multiracial (53%), Hispanic (52%), and white Americans (51%), as well as half of black Americans (50%), told PRRI they support legally established zones of privacy where people disrobe. Only college-educated white people, registered Democrats, people not affiliated with any religion, and those under the age of 30 tend to favor sexually mixed restrooms, the poll finds.

One likely reason for the seismic change is increasing public awareness of physical and sexual assaults inflicted by men against women inside restrooms. Last week, details emerged that a male who identifies as female physically attacked two teenage girls in a female restroom inside the Edmond Memorial High School in Edmond, Oklahoma. The nation’s restrooms have been the sight of numerous assaults and acts of voyeurism stretching all the way back to 1999. Recent incidents include:

  • “Two Loudoun County Public School (LCPS) officials have been indicted in Virginia on charges related to attempts to cover up two sexual assaults in a girls’ bathroom and in an empty classroom perpetrated against female students by a male student” who identified as “gender fluid,” The Washington Stand reported last week;
  • In March, an 18-year-old male exposed his genitals to a child inside a gender-neutral restroom in Wisconsin’s Rhinelander High School;
  • A five-year-old girl said a male student who identified as “gender fluid” sexually molested her inside the restroom of Oakhurst Elementary School in Decatur, Georgia, on November 16, 2017. The school district violated Title IX by failing to adequately investigate the incident, according to a 2020 ruling from the Office of Civil Rights in the Trump administration’s Education Department; and
  • Police arrested a man for indecent exposure inside a women’s restroom in Charlotte, North Carolina, in July 2016.

Similar outrages have occurred in intimate facilities other than restrooms:

  • The Daily Mail reported this month that prison authorities transferred convicted child rapist Brett David Sonia, who now identifies as Brooke Lyn Sonia, to Washington Correctional Center for Women, reportedly leaving women “petrified” they will be victimized next;
  • In July 2016, police arrested a man for recording a young girl changing her clothes inside a Target changing room. Sean Patrick Smith, who identified as woman named “Shauna Patricia Smith,” reportedly told police that he exploited Target’s celebrated, transgender-friendly policies to record several young women undressing. Smith entered a guilty plea to one count of video voyeurism in October 2016; and
  • Officials accused voyeurs of recording similar, surreptitious videos in Target’s multi-sex changing rooms in MassachusettsNew Hampshire, and Texas in 2016 alone.

The real difference on the issue comes down to ideology, not age, PRRI states. The Silent Generation, Baby Boomers, and Generation X oppose opening restrooms to transgender people. Americans aged 30-49 are evenly split, while those 18-29 support transgender restroom use. But the report notes that Millennials and Gen Z who belong to the Republican Party side with older Republicans in backing restroom privacy legislation.

“Generational divisions, then, are largely attributable to differences in the generations to identify with the Democratic or Republican Party,” says the survey. “If younger cohorts start identifying more with the Republican Party,” support for restroom privacy will increase.

“It is not guaranteed that demographic change means a destiny of victory for LGBTQ equality,” concludes PRRI.

Values play a strong role in how citizens view transgender restrooms. A majority of “members of all religious groups support requiring transgender individuals to use bathrooms that correspond to their sex,” notes PRRI, “including three in four white evangelical Protestants (75%), 64% of other Christians, 58% of white mainline Protestants, 57% of Black Protestants (57%), 53% of white Catholics, 51% of Hispanic Catholics, and 50% of non-Christian religious Americans.” Yet only 34% of the Nones support gender privacy.

Americans who believe there are only two sexes are also three times more likely to support separate restroom and changing spaces than those who believe in gender fluidity (69% vs. 23%).

What’s more, the poll’s results fall to the left of many other surveys; for instance, a 2016 WPA Opinion poll found two-thirds of all Americans oppose transgender restrooms. PRRI’s declining numbers indicate public support has eroded even more than the report lets on. The title of the report announcing these results, “Challenges In Moving Toward A More Inclusive Democracy,” reflects PRRI’s pique.

PRRI also complains that “Americans who most trust far-right news outlets” are “notably more likely to support” restroom privacy (84%), even more than those whose first news choice is Fox News (78%). Americans who “most trust mainstream outlets are much less likely to support” female restroom rights (44%).

Time magazine ran an article in 2016 titled, “Transgender Bathroom: Advocates Say ‘Predator’ is Myth.” A year later, CNN asserted that “there is no evidence” that policies giving males access to female’s intimate spaces “lead to attacks in public facilities.”

Nearly two out of three people who stopped or curbed their viewing of CNN (61%) agreed that “one of the reasons I find myself watching CNN less often is because of its liberal/left-wing bias,” according to a new poll from the Media Research Center.

Liberal Exploitation of Americans

St._Louis_County_Missouri_Incorporated_and_Unincorporated_areas_Ferguson_Highlighted.svg_-300x157

City of Ferguson within Missouri (right) and St. Louis County (left) (Wikipedia Image)

When one hears members of the Negro thought police and their liberal white masters of liberal philosophy in the media, government, and academia, one cannot help but understand why our nation is in a heap of hurt. Together they seek to lead, push, prod, and deceive this republic into moral depravity, economic collapse, and national weakness. It is plain and simple to me that the liberal elites do not have any one’s best interest at heart except their own.

The uprising in Ferguson, MO, is a supreme example. There was a shooting of a known thug by a police officer. Without even the slightest bit of inquiry, fellow Ferguson residents and out-of-town agitators looted local businesses, abused other black residents, and just wreaked overall havoc on the town. I, for one, cannot understand why on earth a segment of the American population that claims to want and need more opportunities would loot and burn businesses that are needed in the community.

Unfortunately, such hooliganism is probably indirectly supported by the Obama administration. It may be extreme for me to say it, but Department of Justice (DOJ) head Eric Holder has been giving DOJ investigation updates to civil rights organizations. In addition, Mr. Holder has been known in certain circles to share a common cause with the black criminal.

Jay Nixon, Democrat Governor of Missouri (Wikipedia Photo)

Rather than allow the grand jury of Missouri to do its job in peace, liberal Missouri Governor Jay Nixon called for the indictment of the police officer who shot Michael Brown. To add insult to injury, law and order was turned on its ear when the police chief supposedly ordered officers to stand down and do nothing while looters sought to raid businesses and threaten owners.

The recent events in Ferguson, MO, are undeniable proof of the long-term damages of indoctrinating generations of Americans with liberal dogma that includes the blatant disregard for stability and the rule of law. Whether the liberal elites want to admit it or not, they and their corrupt philosophy send people on bunny trails of destruction and nonsensical behavior.

Take, for example, the burning and looting of businesses because one male was shot. Yet there has been almost no reaction, anger, or one tear shed over the thousands of blacks who are blown away annually by other blacks.

Also, the silence is deafening over the systematic murder of unborn black babies every single year. Where is the outrage over that?
