John Ratcliffe, President-elect Donald Trump’s pick to head the Central Intelligence Agency (CIA) is expected to come in “like a wrecking ball” when he is confirmed to office to tackle DEI work undertaken by the agency in recent years.
A source familiar with Ratcliffe’s plans told the Daily Mail, “I suspect Ratcliffe is going to come in like a wrecking ball to the woke deep staters. The mission is all he cares about. No more politicized intelligence products. No more social experiments. Nothing and no one that distracts from the mission of collecting foreign intelligence and keeping Americans safe.”
The Daily Mail obtained a trove of flyers from CIA employees outlining the number of diversity, equity, inclusion, and accessibility (DEIA) events the agency has held over recent years.
The events include a 2024 Pride Month event featuring a keynote address from trans-identified male Assistant Secretary of Health and Human Services Rachel Levine, an event at the “Multicultural Inclusion Exchange” marking 20 years of the Loving v Virginia Supreme Court case, a black history month event titled “The Black Experience” spanning the whole month, and “Equity Assurance Training,” among other events.
A former CIA paramilitary operations officer told the outlet, “We’re the point of the spear for the Agency and we don’t have time for this nonsense. And that’s what it is: Nonsense.” […]

Independent Journalism Is Dying
Ever since President Trump’s miraculous victory, we’ve heard an incessant drumbeat about how legacy media is dying. This is true. The people have awakened to the reality that they’re being lied to by the self-proclaimed “Arbiters of Truth” for the sake of political expediency, corporate self-protection, and globalist ambitions.
But even as independent journalism rises to fill the void left by legacy media, there is still a huge challenge. Those at the top of independent media like Joe Rogan, Dan Bongino, and Tucker Carlson are thriving and rightly so. They have earned their audience and the financial rewards that come from it. They’ve taken risks and worked hard to get to where they are.
For “the rest of us,” legacy media and their proxies are making it exceptionally difficult to survive, let alone thrive. They still have a stranglehold over the “fact checkers” who have a dramatic impact on readership and viewership. YouTube, Facebook, and Google still stifle us. The freer speech platforms like Rumble and 𝕏 can only reward so many of their popular content creators. For independent journalists on the outside looking in, our only recourse is to rely on affiliates and sponsors.
But even as it seems nearly impossible to make a living, there are blessings that should not be disregarded. By highlighting strong sponsors who share our America First worldview, we have been able to make lifelong connections and even a bit of revenue to help us along. This is why we enjoy symbiotic relationships with companies like MyPillow, Jase Medical, and Promised Grounds. We help them with our recommendations and they reward us with money when our audience buys from them.
The same can be said about our preparedness sponsor, Prepper All-Naturals. Their long-term storage beef has a 25-year shelf life and is made with one ingredient: All-American Beef.
Even our faith-driven precious metals sponsor helps us tremendously while also helping Americans protect their life’s savings. We are blessed to work with them.
Independent media is the future. In many ways, that future is already here. While the phrase, “the more the merrier,” does not apply to this business because there are still some bad actors in the independent media field, there are many great ones that do not get nearly enough attention. We hope to change that one content creator at a time.
Thank you and God Bless,
JD Rucker
