FBI curiously closes Diversity & Inclusion office days before Trump’s return
The FBI revealed it closed its Office of Diversity and Inclusion (ODI) — just days before President-elect Donald Trump takes office — raising concerns about efforts to cover up policies that may have put the nation at risk.
The details: The FBI confirmed "took steps to close the Office of Diversity and Inclusion (ODI), effective by December 2024,” which was established in 2012.
Why did it close? The agency didn’t specify why it chose to close the ODI, but it comes amid growing Republican criticism of DEI initiatives overshadowing national security priorities.
Following the ISIS-inspired terrorist attack in New Orleans on New Year's Day, Senator Marsha Blackburn wrote a letter to FBI Director Christopher Wray saying: "I am deeply concerned that—under your leadership—the Bureau has prioritized Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion (DEI) initiatives over its core mission of protecting the American people."
Where does Trump stand? He reacted to the news by writing:
“We demand that the FBI preserve and retain all records, documents, and information on the now closing DEI Office—Never should have been opened and, if it was, should have closed long ago. Why is it that they’re closing one day before the Inauguration of a new Administration? The reason is, CORRUPTION!”
Big picture: It appears, as Trump suggests, that the bureau is trying to cover its tracks as the new administration will certainly look at how the bureau may have prioritized gender, sexual, and racial quotas over hiring the best-equipped men and women for the job of protecting national security.

Anti-Trump Washington Post cartoonist arrested for kiddie porn
Darrin Bell, an award-winning anti-Trump cartoonist whose work has appeared in left-wing newspapers, has been arrested for possession of child porn.
The details: Bell, 49, was arrested by Sacramento County police for possession of 134 videos of child pornography, including AI-generated content. The investigation stemmed from a tip-off by the National Center for Missing and Exploited Children.
Who is Bell? He’s celebrated for being the first African American to win a Pulitzer Prize for editorial cartoons. His drawings have been published by The Washington Post and The New Yorker.
Bell’s controversial work: A quick browse through his Instagram page reveals a man obsessed with Donald Trump, race, and far-left Democrat politics.
In the images above, Bell appears to be channeling his own demons and projecting them on others. On the left, he depicts Donald Trump as morbidly obese and foolish-looking. On the left, he depicts a child predator exposing himself.
The hits keep coming: This is more bad news for The Washington Post after it was recently revealed the Jeff Bezos-owned newspaper lost $100 million in revenue in 2024 alone.
Real talk from G: Stories like this are a good reminder that often times the people lecturing you on morality are total and unforgivable sickos.
