NextImg:Trump Admin Slammed As ‘Stupidest’ Ever After Linking WWII Jet ‘Enola Gay’ To DEI
LOADINGERROR LOADING

We guess it’s just a matter of time until the late U.S. Supreme Court Justice Hugo Black has his name changed in American history books to Hugo White.

On Thursday, The Associated Press reported that Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth is being a good little boy by carrying out his boss’s cartoonishly evil desire to annihilate any traces of diversity, equity and inclusion — more commonly known as DEI — from the United States.

The AP reports that it obtained a database that shows that the Defense Department has flagged over 26,000 photos and online posts on its website for deletion — because the administration has determined they have some kind of correlation to DEI.

The AP noted that some of the images slated for deletion were still visible as of Thursday. An anonymous official who spoke to the outlet did mention that it’s not clear if the database has been finalized. It’s also unclear from the AP’s report if artificial intelligence was involved in determining which images were flagged.

Some of the selections for deletion are concerning. The AP reports that among the images to be axed are a photo of U.S. Air Force Col. Jeannie Leavitt, the country’s first female fighter pilot, and photos of the Tuskegee Airmen, the decorated Black military pilots who served in a segregated WWII unit.

Yet perhaps the most laughably egregious flagged image is a photograph of the Enola Gay, the World War II aircraft that dropped an atomic bomb on Hiroshima, Japan, in August 1945.

Although the pilot who flew the Enola Gay — Col. Paul Tibbetts Jr. — named the jet after his mother, Enola Gay Tibbets, it seems it’s on the department’s chopping block simply because the plane’s name contains the word “gay.”

When the Enola Gay tidbit made its way onto social media Thursday, users on BlueSky and X, formerly Twitter, couldn’t help but laugh. Then cry. Then post their snarky responses online — which you can read, laugh and cry about, too, by scrolling down.

This can't be real. OMG. This administration is the STUPIDEST in American History.

1990s culture wars: We’re cancelling the Enola Gay exhibit bc veterans and historians can’t agree whether we should celebrate its role in ending WWII or critically assess the decision to use nuclear weapons2020s culture wars: We’re cancelling the Enola Gay bc “gay” is a no-no word

Wait til they figure out songs like
“Deck the halls “
And
“Have yourself a merry little Christmas “ have the word “gay” in their lyrics ????????????

Does this mean The Department of Trans-portation has been marked for deletion?

It's probably for the best.

That’s what government by AI looks like.
Artificial Intelligence only works when intelligent human use it and understand its limitations.
