Trump is expanding on fight against Critical Race Theory

" shall be the policy of the United States not to promote race or sex stereotyping or scapegoating in the Federal workforce or in the Uniformed Services, and not to allow grant funds to be used for these purposes. In addition, Federal contractors will not be permitted to inculcate such views in their employees,” the order says. https://www.breitbart.com/politics/2020/09/22/trump-expands-fight-against-critical-race-theory-to-private-contractors/

Civil war at Sandia continues...

On Monday, all Sandia employees received the following e-mail to cease all diversity, equity, and inclusion (DEI) training: https://twitter.com/NotHF/status/1305540086965178370 However, some Sandia employees are pointing out that Sandia management is a hypocrite for caving in because they have pushed back on other DOE orders but refuse to push back for DEI: https://twitter.com/NotHF/status/1305541348444041221

LLNL is not in compliance

September 2020 DOE IG Report on "The Department of Energy's Management of Explosive Materials at Lawrence Livermore National Laboratory". Procedural issues again a concern as cited in the September 2013 DOE IG Report on HEAF. (Listed under "Prior Reports" on page 11) "We interviewed eight officials responsible for the explosives management at HEAF and Site 300, and upon our request none provided us with detailed inventory procedures..."By not requiring custodians to follow property management regulations and without the custodian knowing the requirements, LLNL is not in compliance with 41 CFR, Subpart 109". https://www.energy.gov/sites/prod/files/2020/09/f78/DOE-OIG-20-53.pdf

Inclusion training

On Wednesday, the Lab received formal direction from DOE to preserve, collect and produce to the agency certain materials relating to “diversity, equity and inclusion trainings” and to suspend such training until further notice. This was predicted here on this Blog as I now proclaim the great Liberal social experiment at LLNL is now over with SJW SF liberal Director going, going GONE! ADIOS! Fun to watch the Liberal Managers now jumping ship. FUN! See you propaganda forcing Liberals in November, not to worry Joe is a great candidate:)

Greater authority over NNSA

H.R. 8159 proposed to create greater DOE authority over the NNSA "The bill clarifies that NNSA officers and employees shall be responsible to and subject to the authority, direction and control of the Secretary of Energy. It further strikes a provision from Section 3220 barring DOE personnel other than the Secretary from exercising authority, direction, or control over personnel employed by or contracting with NNSA." https://energycommerce.house.gov/sites/democrats.energycommerce.house.gov/files/documents/FC%20Markup%20Memo_2020.09.09_0.pdf

Trump orders end of racial sensitivity training

White House Orders End Of ‘Un-American’ Racial Sensitivity Training At Federal Agencies I heard that this order actually came about due the recent events at Sandia. The issue that I am puzzled about is if this actually would still effect Sandia since I do not thing they are actually a Federally run facility. https://www.huffpost.com/entry/racial-sensitivity-training-un-american_n_5f52e600c5b6578026ce23f1
