President Donald Trump stopped by Las Vegas Saturday for a quick rally with supporters and announced that the United States is once again a meritocracy. Yes, DEI is dead, or at least being swept under the rug throughout the U.S. government, where it will have to be rooted out.

Uh-oh, though. Trump mentioned that if you have the work ethic, you can get ahead. We learned from that display at the Smithsonian’s National Museum of African American History & Culture put up a display explaining that believing you can get ahead if you work hard enough is a main component of whiteness. We'll certainly hear the usual suspects (we're looking at you, Joy Reid) complain that this address was racist.

To be honest, we weren't sure if we'd ever hear that again.

Hiring the best person for the job seems to be a simple enough concept. We can see a lot of underbrush in the federal government for DOGE to clear.
