Vice President JD Vance backed up President Donald Trump’s claim that diversity, equity and inclusion, or DEI, policies led to Wednesday’s plane crash in Washington, D.C., telling Fox News that white people have been discouraged from applying to be air traffic controllers because of what he referred to as the “DEI regime.”
On “Sunday Morning Futures,” Vance argued that the “DEI policies” of the Biden and Obama administrations “contributed to where we are.”
“We have a massive shortage of air traffic controllers. And in fact, there have been a number of lawsuits from people who would like to become air traffic controllers against the Obama and Biden administrations, who basically said, ‘We were told not even to apply because of the color of our skin,’ because they were white people who wanted to be air traffic controllers,” Vance said. “And under the DEI regime of the Biden administration, they weren’t welcome.”
Vance then brought up his time with the Senate Commerce Committee, where he said, ”We knew for years that we had a shortage at air traffic control.”
“Well, part of the reason we had a shortage at air traffic control is because we were telling our air traffic controllers not to hire people because of the color of their skin,” he continued. “That is a scandal, and it is a scandal, thankfully, that has stopped under the leadership of President Trump.”..................

A Pennsylvania school district has launched an investigation after a sign was put up on a school bus banning students on board from speaking Spanish.
The sign, which was photographed by a Juniata County resident’s child, said: “Out of respect for English only students there will be NO speaking Spanish on this bus!” It attributed the message to "owner/management".
Christie L. Holderman, Superintendent of the Juniata County School District, said the district was made aware of the sign on Friday and "took immediate action". "We are currently investigating the incident thoroughly and are ensuring that all necessary steps are taken to prevent something like this from happening again,” she said in a statement on Saturday.
Holderman added: “We understand the gravity of this situation, and we apologize again for any concern it may have caused. Thank you for your continued support as we work through this matter.”
Rohrer Bus, which connects the school district with bus operators, has denied being responsible for the sign. The company said in a statement: "Rohrer Bus has been made aware of a racially insensitive note that was discovered on one of the school buses serving the Juniata County School District. This bus is owned and operated by a separate entity, but initial reports referencing the source of the note as “owner/management” create the perception that this note was authorized by representatives of Rohrer Bus."
They continued: "We want to make it explicitly clear that Rohrer Bus did not author or endorse this statement in any way. Such language and sentiments are entirely contrary to our company’s values and commitment to fostering a respectful and inclusive environment for all students, families, and staff."
Rohrer Bus confirmed the transportation provider has been suspended as they work with district officials to investigate the incident but did not disclose who the provider was. The company has promised to implement diversity training...............

MAGA host says men need to find women who don't ‘need to be smacked around’
Daily Wire host Andrew Klavan also said that ‘a lot of the women’ who end up hospitalized because of domestic violence ‘threw the first punch,’ calling it ‘the law of the jungle.’

I’ve never heard of the movement before
===================
It’s a new year, which, for Simone Collins, means a new pregnancy.
This will be her sixth pregnancy since 2019, and, if all goes well, Collins will bear her fifth child by December. She approaches each the way an endurance athlete does a marathon.
She and her husband, Malcolm, have waited exactly nine months since the birth of their last child, Industry Americus (“Indy” for short), to give Simone’s body adequate time to recover.
She goes through a barrage of exams, starting with a hysteroscopy and a uterine biopsy to “get the lay of the land,” and “very detailed” bloodwork. She will take the hormone medication necessary for transferring a frozen embryo into her uterus.
At home, she exercises, walking for hours on a compact treadmill she keeps at her desk, and “eats really well”: plain yogurt, no added sugar; hard-boiled eggs; a “slurry” of blended vegetables.
When it’s time to give birth, Simone will have a Caesarean section — because of complications that arose when she delivered her first child, Octavian George, all of the births have been C-sections.
With each surgery, the risk of future complications — including death — increases. But Simone, 37, wants to do this at least three more times — ideally as many as 10. They have 32 embryos left……
The Collinses have fashioned themselves into enthusiastic — and controversial — avatars for a new pronatalist movement.
Their brand of pronatalism embraces technologies such as in vitro fertilization (IVF) and even genetic selection. (They’ve used both for all of their children.)
They don’t glorify “traditional” gender roles, nor do they think immigration, pro-family policies or cash will reverse a dwindling population.
Their hypothesis: that encouraging people to have more children will require nothing less than a massive cultural shift. And they are determined to help lead it.
Across the globe, in the United States and Uruguay, in Italy and India, families are getting smaller.
To some, this may seem like good news. In an era of human-induced climate change, it’s hard for many liberal, environmentally minded people to rally around having more children — harder still for many young Americans of all political stripes to imagine raising and supporting three children when rent can eat nearly a third of their paycheck.
But economists, demographers and government leaders are increasingly alarmed about the downward trend. According to the latest United Nations projections, the world’s population will peak in 60 years.
After that, experts say, humanity will face an unprecedented decline — and, along with it, profound social and geopolitical consequences.…….
In a 2023 New York Times opinion piece, economist Dean Spears urged readers to “start conversations” about depopulation now.
“If we wait,” Spears wrote, “the less inclusive, less compassionate, less calm elements within our society and many societies worldwide may someday … exploit [population decline] to suit their agendas — of inequality, nationalism, exclusion or control.”
The stakes are high, and that is, in part, why Simone endures risky pregnancy after risky pregnancy. It’s why the Collinses have donated three of their embryos; why they spend a substantial amount of their time and energy trolling and criticizing the left, which they see as responsible for these falling rates; why they have offered up their family for ridicule and shrouded their friendships in secrecy.
It’s why the couple, who both work in private equity, found a home in the “new right,” a growing conservative movement that includes Elon Musk, also a vocal pronatalist (and father of 11); Peter Thiel; and Vice President JD Vance, whom Malcolm calls an “impossibly good avatar” for the coalition.
(Both Simone and Vance have previously worked with venture capitalist Thiel.)
“Population collapse,” Malcolm said, “is the climate change of the right.” (Notably, some experts have argued that population decline will come “too late” to mitigate the climate crisis.)………

The Ohio city that became a flashpoint of the immigration debate during the 2024 presidential election after Donald Trump amplified false rumors of Haitian immigrants “eating the pets” is suing a neo-Nazi group for unleashing a “campaign of hate and harassment” against residents who defended the city’s migrant population.
In a federal lawsuit filed this week in the U.S. District Court in Dayton, the city of Springfieldalleged that the Blood Tribe and its leadership fueled fear and anger with its coordinated “hit” on the town to stop the “invasion” of Haitian immigrants.
Springfield is seeking damages from the white supremacist organization for conspiracy to violate civil rights, public nuisance, telecommunications harassment, menacing, ethnic intimidation, and inciting violence…….

A rightwing non-profit group that has published a “DEI Watch List” identifying federal employees allegedly “driving radical Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion (DEI) initiatives” is bankrolled by wealthy family foundations and rightwing groups whose origins are often cloaked in a web of financial arrangements that obscure the original donors.
One recent list created by the American Accountability Foundation (AAF) includes the names of mostly Black people with roles in government health alleged to have some ties to diversity initiatives. Another targets education department employees, and another calls out the “most subversive immigration bureaucrats”.
The lists come amid turmoil in the US government as Donald Trump’s incoming administration, aided by Elon Musk, the world’s richest man, has sought to fire huge swathes of the federal government and purge it of DEI and other initiatives – such as tackling climate change – that Trump has dubbed “woke”.
While the publication of the personal details of government workers – whom the website describes as “targets” – has reportedly “terrified” many in federal departments, the Guardian has discovered that some current and former employees of AAF have taken pains to conceal their affiliations with the group on LinkedIn and other public websites.
One of the donors to the AAF is the Heritage Foundation, the architects of Project 2025, which has been a driving ideological force behind Trump’s re-election and first weeks in government.
Heidi Beirich, chief strategy officer of the Global Project Against Hate and Extremism (GPAHE), said: “It’s not surprising to find a vile project such as this backed by Project 2025 entities and far-right donors who have it out for public employees.”
Disclosure documents show that the AAF has been closely involved in training Republican staffers in collaboration with the affiliated Conservative Partnership Institute, in sessions that promise to train rightwing operatives in skills including “open source research” and “working with outside groups”.……
