Driscoll at Insty, THE AIR FORCE SEEMS TO HAVE DECIDED TO USE MALICIOUS COMPLIANCE TO FIGHT TRUMP’S DEI ORDER by ordering the suspension of teaching air men about the Tuskegee Airmen. And, FAKE NEWS, OR MALICIOUS COMPLIANCE? CBS: “Lesson plans about the Tuskegee Airmen and the Women Airforce Service Pilots have been removed from the U.S. Air Force curriculum, a U.S. official confirmed Saturday.” Cernovich@Cernovich, "This is a passive aggressive form of malicious compliance, where you pretend you’re following some order and doing so dishonestly." The entire chain of command must be relieved for this stunt.   "Kurt Schlichter has some questions for the network that brought you RatherGate, pro-Obamacare poetry readings, and Barry Goldwater as a crypto-Nazi:" 'Streiff' at RedState, The Air Force Seems to Have Decided to Use Malicious Compliance to Fight Trump's DEI Order but then Pete Hegseth Stamps Out One USAF DEI Mutiny but Others AwaitPete Hegseth@PeteHegseth "This has been immediately reversed.

Vance on "Face the Nation." " Margaret Brennan seemed keyed up from the start. Her desire to get Vance was ludicrously obvious. Meanwhile, Vance was perfectly even-tempered and articulate, prepared for everything she had hoped to flummox him with. Brennan's style of constant interruption failed to throw him off. It backfired, making him look steady and rational and her look afraid of what he might have to say."
