    The Death of Merit: How America’s Best Companies Lost Their Way

    Over the last four years, a quiet revolution has swept through corporate America, dismantling the meritocratic ideals that once ensured the nation’s best and brightest could rise to the top. With diversity, equity, and inclusion (DEI) mandates dictating hiring practices, the numbers tell a stunning tale: 94% of new hires at leading public companies were so-called “people of color,” with black women taking the lion’s share of these roles. This figure, derived from corporate diversity reports, reflects an overwhelming prioritization of identity in hiring practices. Given that black women constitute only a small fraction of the population and that just 38% hold college degrees, this disproportionate focus raises questions about the impact on fairness and the sidelining of more qualified candidates. The implications are stark: many highly skilled individuals have been systematically overlooked in favor of fulfilling demographic quotas, challenging the meritocratic foundations of corporate success. Yet this demographic represents only 2.28% of the U.S. population—a statistical manipulation that sacrifices fairness and merit. The real victims of this social engineering are white men, systematically excluded from opportunities they would have earned on their qualifications, and the companies themselves, which have sidelined talent and innovation in favor of identity politics. The consequences are already manifesting in plummeting stock returns and organizational inefficiencies, a harbinger of long-term damage to American competitiveness. This is a public episode.

    Election-Eve Coverup: Biden & the Art of Concealing Evidence

    In the closing days before the November 5, 2024, presidential election, a tale of political duplicity unfolded—one that would make even the most jaded Roman senator wince. The National Archives and Records Administration (NARA), ostensibly the neutral custodian of America’s historical record, found itself ensnared in a scandal implicating the sitting president, his predecessor, and the Biden family’s lucrative entanglements with China. What transpired was a coordinated effort to withhold damning evidence—photographs and records that expose a pattern of influence-peddling—until the polls had closed. The American public, once again, became collateral damage in the Democratic Party’s endless war on accountability. At the center of this sordid affair are newly unearthed photographs obtained by America First Legal (AFL) through a Freedom of Information Act (FOIA) lawsuit against NARA. These images, initially slated for release on October 23, 2024—13 days before the election—capture then-Vice President Joe Biden alongside his son Hunter, prominent Chinese business figures, and even President Xi Jinping. AFL’s persistence forced NARA to prepare these documents for disclosure, but in a move straight out of Tammany Hall, Biden and Obama’s legal teams intervened to delay their release until just after the election.

    Trump’s Greenland Gambit

    In the swirling mists of Arctic winds lies an untapped geopolitical prize: Greenland. Its rugged terrain, dotted with glaciers and rich in rare earth minerals, presents not only a bounty of natural resources but also profound strategic value. For centuries under Danish rule, Greenland has remained tethered to Europe by the faintest of threads—threads that are fraying as its Inuit majority clamors for self-determination. With its population more aligned culturally and geographically with North America, and its economic future tied to untapped resources and global markets, Greenland's next chapter is clear: sever ties with Denmark and join the United States as a territory. This is no whimsical notion. Greenland has long been a focal point of American strategic interest, and President Trump has recently renewed his call for the United States to acquire the island, declaring it an "absolute necessity" for both security and economic reasons. While critics may dismiss the idea as audacious, Trump’s assertion underscores Greenland's strategic importance in Arctic geopolitics. With proper alignment of mutual interests, Greenland's independence from Denmark and integration as a U.S. territory could serve both the island’s population and America’s broader economic and security goals.
