On the day of his inauguration Trump signed an Executive Order titled "Protecting the Meaning and Value of American Citizenship."Â This order has been widely reported as "overturning" the "long-standing" doctrine of so-called "birthright citizenship"--the notion that anyone born on American soil is automatically an American citizen as a result. The major foundation for this mistaken claim is ...

One seeks to put a stake through the heart that is the racism of "diversity of impact" dealing a sever blow to the DEI industry, and the second seeks to strip the power of accreditation from the hands of woke DEI mind virus fraudsters.Â
