President Trump scored a major victory against the radical left's DEI agenda on Friday when a federal appeals court unanimously struck down a lower court's attempt to block his administration's efforts to eliminate discriminatory diversity programs from federal contracting.

The 4th Circuit Court of Appeals delivered a crushing blow to woke activists by vacating a preliminary injunction issued by Maryland District Judge Adam Abelson, who had tried to obstruct Trump's mission to restore merit-based hiring and contracting practices across the federal government.

Deep State Judge Gets Schooled

The three-judge appeals panel saw right through Judge Abelson's activist overreach, unanimously rejecting his attempt to preserve the Biden administration's divisive DEI framework that prioritized skin color over qualifications. This decision clears the path for Trump to fulfill his campaign promise of ending race-based discrimination in government programs.

The ruling represents a significant blow to the radical left's obsession with identity politics and their systematic effort to embed racist policies throughout the federal bureaucracy. Under the guise of "diversity, equity, and inclusion," the previous administration had weaponized government contracting to advance a woke agenda that discriminated against qualified Americans based on their race.

"The American people voted for an end to this divisive nonsense, and the courts are finally backing up the will of the people,"

said one conservative legal expert familiar with the case.

Draining the Swamp of Woke Ideology

This victory comes as part of Trump's broader initiative to eliminate DEI programs across all levels of government, fulfilling his promise to restore true equality under the law. The administration has made it clear that merit, not melanin, should determine who receives federal contracts and positions.

Patriots across the country are celebrating this decision as proof that Trump's America First agenda is gaining momentum in the courts. With Republicans controlling both Congress and the White House, the days of taxpayer-funded discrimination are numbered.

How many more activist judges will try to obstruct Trump's mandate to restore constitutional equality before they realize the American people have spoken?

Finally! Merit should be the only factor in hiring and promotions, not the color of someone's skin. My husband was passed over for a promotion last year despite having more experience than the candidate they chose, and we all know why.

Same thing happened to my son in his engineering program. These policies hurt everyone, including the people they claim to help.

About time the courts stood up to these activist judges trying to undermine the will of the people. We voted for Trump to end this woke nonsense and restore fairness to our institutions.
