Well, folks, buckle up because the Trump presidency is off to a roaring start—and it’s making waves across the government and military. If there’s one thing we’ve learned about Trump, it’s that he doesn’t waste time shaking things up, and that’s exactly what we’re seeing with his latest moves. Barely 48 hours into his return to the White House, and already the firing spree has begun.
First up on the chopping block? Admiral Linda Lee Fagan, the Commandant of the U.S. Coast Guard. She was ousted over a laundry list of issues, including what’s being described as “leadership deficiencies” and an “erosion of trust.” But let’s not sugarcoat it: this firing was as much about policy as it was about performance.
According to reports, Fagan was shown the door for her failure to address border security threats, struggles with recruitment and retention, and her heavy emphasis on diversity, equity, and inclusion (DEI) initiatives—initiatives that have been a cornerstone of the woke agenda creeping into the military under the last administration.

Now, let’s pause here for a moment. The Coast Guard, tasked with protecting our maritime borders, plays a critical role in national security. Yet under Fagan’s watch, there were glaring failures, from recruitment struggles to operational mismanagement.
Add to that her focus on DEI rather than readiness and security, and it’s no wonder the Trump administration decided to cut ties. One senior official even pointed to the mishandling of something called “Operation Fouled Anchor,” which, let’s be honest, sounds like a mess nobody wants to be attached to.
And it’s not just the Coast Guard feeling the heat. Trump signed a series of executive orders aimed at rooting out DEI programs across the federal government, securing the border, and, as he puts it, getting America back on track to greatness. One of those orders is reportedly paving the way for a so-called “warrior panel” to review the military’s leadership and purge the ranks of woke brass. This means we might see more firings in the near future—and based on the current climate, they won’t come as a surprise.
JUST IN: General Charles Q. Brown, Chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff, told reporters he plans to stay in his position.
Brown is obsessed with race-based diversity quotas. He signed a memo stating his “goal” is to reduce the number of White Males in the Air Force.

Take Charles Q. Brown, the Chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff. He’s been a vocal supporter of DEI policies, even signing a controversial memo that raised eyebrows by calling for fewer white people in the U.S. Air Force. Now, while Brown says he’s staying put for now, the writing might be on the wall. With Trump in charge and a renewed focus on merit and readiness over political agendas, Brown’s days could be numbered.
