Linda-Fagan-ouster-DEI.html

The Trump administration gave the former highest-ranking woman in the 
military just three hours to leave her home following her ouster for 
supporting diversity, equity and inclusion policies.

President Donald Trump fired Coast Guard commandant, Admiral Linda L. 
Fagan, almost immediately after he took office on January 20 - leaving her 
to discover the news  while waiting to take a photo with him at the 
Commander in Chief ball that night.

Still, Fagan continued to live at her government-funded home on Joint Base 
Anacostia Bolling until she was abruptly evicted on Tuesday, NBC News 
reports. 

'It's petty and it's personal,' a friend of Fagan's claimed. 

Coast Guard leaders had initially given the four-star admiral a 60-day 
waiver to find new housing. 

But on Tuesday, Homeland Security officials told the acting commandant, 
Kevin Lundy, that she needed to vacate because the president wants her out 
of the quarters.

Lundy reportedly informed Fagan at 2pm on Tuesday that she only had three 
hours to get out. 

'It's a really strange power play,' Fagan's friend said. 

Shortly after that, Fagan's team reportedly received a call from aides to 
Sean Plankey, a Department of Homeland Security senior adviser and retired 
Coast Guard officer, instructing her to leave the house unlocked so the 
interior could be photographed.

But Fagan pushed back on DHS' efforts to take photos.

'I do not authorize them to come into my house, whether I'm there or not,' 
the admiral reportedly told another Coast Guard official.

Lunday then relayed that message back to Plankey's team, noting that any 
attempt to access the house would amount to trespassing, sources familiar 
with the eviction said.

Yet Fagan did decide to leave the home 'with many - maybe all - of her 
personal items and household goods still there,' a former US military 
official said.

She then reportedly spent the night with friends.

US Transportation Command is now responsible for moving all of her 
personal effects out of the house, and a DHS official claimed she was 
given a different place to stay.

That official, however, was unable to ascertain whether the directive came 
straight from President Trump or whether his name had been used without 
his knowledge.  

Still, the unidentified official said the eviction order made sense.

'She was terminated with cause two weeks ago today, and she was still 
living in those admiral quarters,' he said.

In the Department of Homeland Security's message announcing Fagan's 
termination, acting Secretary Benjamine C. Huffman touted her 'long and 
illustrious career' as it thanked 'her for her service.'

But the department later revealed in a statement that Fagan was removed 
from her position because of 'leadership deficiencies, operational 
failures and inability to advance the strategic objectives of the U.S. 
Coast Guard' including a failure to secure the border and stop drugs from 
entering the United States.

The statement also accused Fagan of failing to recruit and retain 
personnel and had an 'excessive focus' on DEI programs.

She had even previously stated: 'Diversity was definitely not there when I 
entered into the service...

'The reason it's critical is because diverse work teams outperform, 
homogenous teams,' Fagan told Military Families Magazine in 2023. 'They're 
just stronger, more resilient, have better perspectives and deeper 
strength of thought.' 

Biden nominated Fagan as Commandant of the U.S. Coast Guard in April 2022, 
as her supporters hailed her as the first female admiral in a position of 
leadership of one of the armed forces branches. 


-- 
November 5, 2024 - Congratulations President Donald Trump.  We look 
forward to America being great again.

The disease known as Kamala Harris has been effectively treated and 
eradicated.

We live in a time where intelligent people are being silenced so that 
stupid people won't be offended.

Durham Report: The FBI has an integrity problem.  It has none.

Thank you for cleaning up the disaster of the 2008-2017 Obama / Biden 
fiasco, President Trump.  

Under Barack Obama's leadership, the United States of America became the 
The World According To Garp.  Obama sold out heterosexuals for Hollywood 
queer liberal democrat donors.
