The most consequential Presidential Executive Order for American higher education may be the one signed the day after Trump’s inauguration titled “Ending Illegal Discrimination and Restoring Merit Based Opportunity.” While similar to the directive the day before called “Ending Radical and Wasteful Government DEI Programs and Preferences,” the January 21 Order is more broad, more focused on restoring an ethic of individual character and competence, and, critically, requires federal contractors to certify compliance with DEI bans. This should mean that a school administrator can be held accountable if schools flout Trump’s anti-DEI policies to quietly continue identity politics business as usual. Looks like Trump’s team won’t stand for that.
The Order’s first section on Purpose explains:
“Illegal DEI… policies violate the text and spirit of our long-standing federal civil rights laws… and also undermine our national unity as they deny, discredit, and undermine American values of hard work, excellence, and individual achievement in favor of an unlawful, corrosive, and pernicious identity-based spoiled system. Hard-working Americans who deserve a shot at the American dream should not be stigmatized or shut out of opportunities because of their race or sex.
The second section then states:
“It is the policy of the United States to protect the civil rights of all Americans and to promote individual initiative, excellence, and hard work. I therefore order all executive departments and agencies to terminate all discriminatory and illegal preferences, mandates, policies, programs, activities, guidance, regulations, enforcement actions, consent orders, and requirements.
The Order also directs agencies to combat DEI discrimination in the private sector.
Section three rescinds multiple executive orders promoting identity politics and “diversity” from prior administrations, including one from 1965, signed by President Lyndon B. Johnson, authorizing affirmative action. Other revoked policies date from the Clinton, Obama, and Biden years. […]

Why One Survival Food Company Shines Above the Rest
Let’s be real. “Prepper Food” or “Survival Food” is generally awful. The vast majority of companies that push their cans, bags, or buckets desperately hope that their customers never try them and stick them in the closet or pantry instead. Why? Because if the first time they try them is after the crap hits the fan, they’ll be too shaken to call and complain about the quality.
It’s true. Most long-term storage food is made with the cheapest possible ingredients with limited taste and even less nutritional value. This is why they tout calories so much. Sure, they provide calories but does anyone really want to go into the apocalypse with food their family can’t stand?
This is what prompted the Llewellyns to launch Heaven’s Harvest. They bought survival food from multiple companies and determined they couldn’t imagine being stuck in an extended emergency with such low-quality food. They quickly discovered that freeze drying food for long-term storage doesn’t have to mean sacrificing flavor, consistency, or nutrition.
Their ingredients are all-American. In fact, they’re locally sourced and all-natural! This allows their products to be the highest quality on the market, so good that their customers often break open a bag in a pinch to eat because they want to, not just because they have to due to an emergency.
At Heaven’s Harvest, their only focus is amazing food. They don’t sell bugout bags, solar chargers, or multitools. They have one mission – feeding Americans in times of crisis.
What they DO offer is the ability for people to thrive in times of greatest need. On top of long-term storage food, they offer seeds to help Americans for the truly long-term. They want them to grow their own food if possible which is why they offer only Heirloom, Non-GMO, Non-Hybrid, Open-Pollinated seeds so their customers can build permanent food security on their own property.
