Trump-Subverting GSA Surrenders, and You Won't Believe Some of the Insane Stuff Being Deleted

Many bureaucracies within the federal government are stocked with people who believe they are above being accountable to voters, and one of the worst is the Government Services Administration (GSA). While it ostensibly exists to manage federal workspaces, it has long been run by far-left lunatics who seek to subvert any attempts at reform while pushing woke nonsense.

During President Donald Trump's first term, the Office of Inspector General found that employees at GSA ignored legal requirements to implement facial recognition and then lied about it, claiming it was a matter of "racial equity." It also made "lived experience" a variable in hiring, meaning the agency became a haven of "trans" and "queer" people hiring each other for roles they had no experience in.

You may be wondering what "18F" is. It is a GSA-run tech office that "builds, buys, and shares" technology across all agencies. Of course, their role went well beyond that simple descriptor, with 18F dictating everything from the language used to how all federal meetings were conducted so as to promote "diversity and inclusion." That's how the country ended up with an "inclusion bot" hounding employees about using terms like "grandfathered" and "guys." Yes, you're taxpayer dollars were paying to maintain an Orwellian bot that told people have to speak.

That's all changing now, according to investigative reporter Luke Rosiak. With Stephen Ehikian, an ally of Elon Musk, being put in charge, those left at 18F are rushing to reverse course, including deleting the code for the "inclusion bot" and making wholesale changes to regulations and policies.

Remember that viral video from 2022 of Kamala Harris telling people at a meeting that her pronouns are "she and her" and that she's "wearing a blue suit?" That was the doing of 18F's policies.

HARRIS: Good afternoon, I want to welcome these leaders for coming in to have this very important discussion about some of the most pressing issues of our time.
I'm Kamala Harris, my pronouns are she and her, I am a woman sitting at the table wearing a blue suit.

Here's a bit more of the ridiculous insanity the GSA and 18F were pushing throughout the entire federal government.

Trump has clearly learned his lesson. GSA emerged relatively unscathed during his first term, able to undermine many of his goals while continuing to implement DEI. That's finally changing, and these agencies are being gutted for good reason. For too long, these bureaucracies have been appropriated by far-left activists who want to use unelected, taxpayer-paid positions to push their ideology without any accountability. No more.
