IMO without U.S. money there will not be a Security Council, The UN will die a deserved death.
Incoming Trump Administration
- Thread starter GURPS
- Start date
Speaking with Erik Torenberg on the Moment of Zen podcast, billionaire investor and Trump adviser Marc Andreessen recently speculated how the incoming Trump Administration could be planning to rapidly drive a stake into the beating heart of corporate DEI and kill it for good.
CLIP: Marc Andreessen speculates about the Harmeet effect at DOJ (3:31).
The possibility arises because Trump appointed long-time California covid lawyer Harmeet Dhillon to head the DOJ’s civil rights division. "If you wanted to pick the most extreme possible attorney to put in charge of the Civil Rights division of the Justice Department to reverse DEI,” Marc noted on the podcast, “it would be this lawyer named Harmeet Dhillon.”
The instant I heard it, I realized Marc was one hundred percent right. For years, Harmeet has been suing over wokeness and jabs. She came up as a superlawyer in the authoritarian pressure cooker of California and its virtue-signaling corporate culture. Soon she will occupy one of the most influential legal jobs in the country.
It’s Revenge of the Nerds Part III.
Marc correctly explained that “the Civil Rights division of the Justice Department is the federal government’s prosecutorial arm that basically enforces wokeness. They’re the ones who have made sure that, for the last decade, these companies have had all these crazy policies under the penalty of being investigated, subpoenaed, and ultimately prosecuted.”
The billionaire gave an example: “the Civil Rights division sued SpaceX for not hiring enough refugees—despite the fact that SpaceX is a military contractor and is not permitted to hire non-American citizens under a separate law.”
That kind of silliness should quickly stop. But as Marc correctly pointed out, given her background, Harmeet is likely to “do a 180” and “begin prosecuting companies for violations of civil rights laws in the form of reverse discrimination—discrimination against white people, Asians, Jews, and other unprotected classes.”
Woke DEI policies are legal low-hanging fruit for real civil rights prosecution. The policies are de facto discriminatory in just about every conceivable way: race, gender, religion, you name it.
Call it the Harmeet effect. Marc thinks many companies are already getting the message, just from the fact of Harmeet’s appointment. Thanks to anti-DEI activists like Robby Starbuck, woke corporate policies have been culturally suspect for most of 2024. Add the threat of a DOJ criminal investigation and things may start shifting rapidly back toward normal.
Marc also noted the academy sits in Harmeet’s crosshairs, too. Universities have massive DEI departments bursting with discriminatory admissions policies — even after the Supreme Court told them to cut it out. Nowadays they’re still doing it, but on the down low, still illegally — sitting ducks for DOJ investigations.
Proving crypto-discrimination won’t be very hard. DEI managers are not known for their innate intelligence. Cunning, yes. Unburdened by morality, definitely. But not too bright. Harmeet will run rings around them.
I cannot conceive of any faster way to realistically unwind the entire DEI revolution.
Most DOJ prosecutions for discriminatory practices are “settled” through binding, court-approved contracts called “consent decrees,” with which colleges and companies must comply or face automatic criminal convictions. Defending these cases is fabulously expensive. Companies and colleges are under massive pressure to settle; if their defense is “we never discriminate,” then what’s the harm of signing a consent decree agreeing never to discriminate?
It’s fun to consider how Obama’s DOJ invented a controversial enforcement technique: forcing companies under consent decrees to pay fines directly to progressive activist groups. Now imagine Harvard being forced to pay hundreds of thousands or millions to Turning Point, USA. Goose, meet gander.
Maybe best of all —this is me, not Marc— it seems very likely Harmeet will also investigate and prosecute companies that most egregiously violated their employees’ religious liberties by denying jab exemption requests and making unjabbed employee’s lives miserable on purpose (Ascension Hospital Group and Morgan & Morgan, I’m looking at you).
I’ll be shocked if Harmeet didn’t go after the jab dictators.
A long-overdue reckoning is coming to woke companies and to the academic institutions. This could be even more entertaining to watch than when Lewis Skolnik’s nerds salted the jocks’ gym shorts with itching powder.

Trump's Threat to Defund Public Media Puts NPR and PBS on Edge
- Trump has vowed to cut all federal funding for the Corporation for Public Broadcasting , which supports public media outlets like NPR and PBS.
- Public media is crucial for rural communities, providing local news and emergency alerts, according to critics.
- Isabel Lara, an NPR spokesperson, stated that defunding public radio would lead to less funding for local journalism.
- Musk suggested his social platform, X, as an alternative to traditional news media outlets, which he claims are biased against him.

Justice Demands Trump Release J6 Prisoners and Punish Those Who Put Them in Jail No Matter Who Hates It
There is also a conflict between the "back the blue" impulses of most of MAGA country and some police officials. The new chief of the Capitol Hill police is complaining about the pardons indirectly:
I'd ask Chief Manger what message he thinks it sends to the public when one of his officers was promoted and received federal funds to improve security at his home and cash from a memorial fund after he murdered Ashli Babbitt in cold blood.
If some disciplinary action had been meted out to this cretin and the Capitol Police who brutally beat Roseanne Boyland and the officials who lied about her cause of death (see EXCLUSIVE: Investigative Journalist Lara Logan Uncovers 'The Rest of the Story' on January 6 – RedState), I might care a lot more. If they just stopped lying about police officers being killed and hospitalized on January 6 or claiming that serving that day caused three police officers to commit suicide (why would that be?), I might be more charitable. Until then, I really don't care about the morale of Capitol Hill police.
Finally, the media is going to lose its crap when the pardons hit. In fact, it is already starting.
Until some adequate explanation is provided on why Capitol Police invited protesters into the Capitol —
President Trump does not want to waste time. He already has an initial slate of legislative goals and a bill he wants passed through the new Congress. Last night, Trump said he wants to see everything passed in a single bill, and uncharacteristically took his message to X:
Believe it or not, opposition is already forming up, mainly among Senate Republicans who want the budget reconciliation bill broken into two bills, and they are being about as clear on the reason why as an AT&T “marketing representative” is about how much you really have to pay for that free cell phone. For instance, Senator Lindsey Graham (R-S.C.), said “I will try to be a team player here, but I want to tell the American people, if we don’t put border first and get it done, it’s going to be a nightmare for our national security.”
Now Lindsay is suddenly worried about the border.
Over in the House, Speaker Mike Johnson (R-La.), is fully on board with Trump’s preferred one-bill strategy and explained, “we will get it out of the House in early April, maybe as soon as April 3, and then move it over to the Senate. That would put the bill on the president’s desk for signature by the end of April. That would be fantastic.”
This first bill is critical to Trump’s entire agenda. It’s his chance to nail down a legal scaffolding on which to hang the rest of what he wants to do. It’s important to get that scaffolding erected now, while he has maximum political strength. The reason Trump wants it all in one bill is simple; the bill will include the Defense budget, which means neocons like Graham can’t hold it the rest.
That is also why Graham and his allies in the Senate want the bill to be split; they want to get the money to the Defense Department in a first bill, but take their time with the second one, slowly shredding Trump’s tax package and wringing a bunch of concessions out of the President.
Prepare for fireworks! And get ready to possibly help out with calling or emailing Senators. The C&C Army may have a little work to do.
☕️ CERTIFIED ☙ Monday, January 6, 2025 ☙ C&C NEWS 🦠

Some mornings, the job of finding the perfect headline can be tougher than others. This morning was one of the difficult ones. It took way too much work to find a simple, straightforward headline about yesterday’s Certification that didn’t also wax poetic about January 6th, 2021. But NBC nailed it with this perhaps overly poetic but direct submission: “With an intent stare, a wide smile and a simple declaration, Harris certifies her loss to Trump.”
Finding myself in a generous spirit this fine Tuesday morning, I will say this about Kamala Harris: she’d be a fun day-drinking friend. Wouldn’t she? Don’t get me wrong, she must be kept miles away from the nuclear football at all times. But just hanging out, she would laugh at the dumbest of jokes about our mutual unemployment and even find something amusing when the last bottle of chardonnay accidentally spilled down the back of the couch.
But I digress. The certification of Donald J. Trump’s election went off without a hitch yesterday afternoon, in 30 short minutes, presided over by Vice President Harris. To some, this may seem like fine hair-splitting, but Harris did not “certify” the election; Congress did. Harris just announced the result.
Yesterday’s certification set a recent record; it was the first election in 50 years when a Republican was elected, but the Democrats failed to contest the election during the certification. Notably, in 2017, a group of House Democrats objected to the certification of Trump’s first election (which failed to grip when no Senator joined). This time, no.
Every corporate media article about yesterday’s unremarkable certification devoted a third to a half of its content to the ever-growing progressive mythology related to January 6th, 2021, which talking heads yesterday offensively compared to the Holocaust and the U.S. Civil War.
But none of the talking heads or corporate media pundits mentioned the communist bombing of the ‘sacrosanct’ U.S. Capitol in 1983 by radicalized communist sorority girls. Headline from Smithsonian Magazine, January 6, 2020:
The group’s bomb was strategically planted just outside the Senate chamber, and the explosion caused substantial damage to the Capitol's north wing, shattering windows, blowing off doors, and leaving a large crater in the marble floor. Purportedly, the bombing, which happened at night when the Capitol was closed, was intended to influence US policy in Grenada and Lebanon.
The group next planned to murder a large number of congressmen. The ringleader-lady, Susan Rosenberg, who was 28 in 1983, served 16 years in prison until President Bill Clinton commuted both her and her co-ringleader’s sentences.
Don’t bother asking progressives about the literal bombing of the Capitol in 1983, or the Congressional mass-murder plan, since they’ve long-since miniaturized the actual bombing story, in a narrative-reducing process that is rhetorically comparable to turning juicy bunches of grape into a handful of dry raisins. It means nothing, a mere fringe event, especially when compared to the mass invasion of the U.S. Capitol on January 6th, 2021, by MAGA-cap-wearing tourists (plus one guy with buffalo horns).
It is telling that Democrats in Congress more fear unarmed grandmothers from Orlando and retired firefighters than radicalized communists with real improvised explosive devices.
Here I am digressing again! Wrapping this up, with yesterday’s smooth, uneventful certification, 2025 is off to a promising start. The stage is now set for a presidential term that does not feature multiple impeachment efforts or a “Resist” movement in the opposition party that, as you will recall, was based on the debunked notion that Trump “stole the election” thanks to Russian election interference, especially that Chief Interferor, Putin.
In other words, it was Democrat election denialism. Which is the second-worst sin after insurrection, except when real, communist domestic terrorists do it.
