President Donald J. Trump declared an end to lower standards in the name
of discriminatory “diversity, equity, and inclusion” initiatives — and the Trump Administration continues to make good on that commitment to
prioritize merit, not divisive race-based obsessions, in hiring.
Yesterday, Attorney General Pam Bondi announced the Department of Justice
(DOJ) dismissed several Biden-era lawsuits against police and fire
departments who used race-neutral mechanisms — such as standard aptitude
tests, physical exams, and credit checks — in their hiring processes, the result of which lowered standards and endangered public safety.
DISMISSED: United States v. City of Durham (North Carolina)
The Biden DOJ alleged discrimination because entry-level firefighter
applicants were required to pass a written exam. The city was required to provide compensation and preferential hiring to applicants who were not
hired.
DISMISSED: United States v. Maryland State Police
The Biden DOJ alleged discrimination because applicants were required to
pass a written exam and basic physical exam. The agency was required to
provide compensation and retroactive seniority to applicants who were not hired.
DISMISSED: United States v. Cobb County (Georgia)
The Biden DOJ alleged discrimination because firefighter applicants were required to complete a written exam and credit check. The county was
required to provide compensation and preferential hiring to applicants who
were not hired.
DISMISSED: United States v. City of South Bend (Indiana)
The Biden DOJ alleged discrimination because police applicants were
required to pass a written exam and basic physical exam.
Americans deserve the best of the best keeping them safe — and in the
Trump Administration, anything less is unacceptable.

November 5, 2024 - Congratulations President Donald Trump. We look
forward to America being great again.
The disease known as Kamala Harris has been effectively treated and
eradicated.
We live in a time where intelligent people are being silenced so that
stupid people won't be offended.
Durham Report: The FBI has an integrity problem. It has none.
Thank you for cleaning up the disaster of the 2008-2017 Obama / Biden
fiasco, President Trump.
Under Barack Obama's leadership, the United States of America became the
The World According To Garp. Obama sold out heterosexuals for Hollywood
queer liberal democrat donors.
