Cancel Culture is far from over but Trump is making great strides to turn the tide.

A great woman erased from history by politically motivated idiots.

The branding of the syrup was a tribute to this woman’s gifts and talents. Now future generations will not even know this beautiful woman existed. What a shame. The world knew her as “Aunt Jemima”, but her given name was Nancy Green and she was a true American success story. She was born a slave in 1834 Montgomery County, KY. and became a wealthy superstar in the advertising world, as its first living trademark. Green was 56 years old when she was selected as spokesperson for a new ready-mixed, self-rising pancake flour and made her debut in 1893 at a fair and exposition in Chicago. She demonstrated the pancake mix served thousands of pancakes, and became an immediate star. She was a good storyteller, her personality was warm and appealing, and her showmanship was exceptional.

So what did the " politically motivated idiots ", do?

From her Wiki page:

In June 2021, amidst heightened racial unrest in the United States, the Aunt Jemima brand name was discontinued by its current owner, PepsiCo, with all products rebranded to Pearl Milling Company, the name of the company that produced the original pancake mix product.

There was a fairly large uproar by her relatives when this happened. Here is a story about it. https://abcnews.go.com/US/untold-sto...y?id=72293603/

It looks like Donald Trump has unleashed a new form of cancel culture.

Military to Remove 'Enola Gay' Photos for Violating DEI Rules
https://www.newsweek.com/military-re...TbfQVaChOIViVw

Images of "Enola Gay," the aircraft that dropped an atomic bomb on Hiroshima in Japan are among those targeted by the U.S. military in an initiative to eliminate content related to diversity, equity and inclusion (DEI).



They are among a number of photos unrelated to DEI that have been mistakenly flagged, including those from an Army Corps of Engineers dredging project in California, seemingly because an engineer in the image had the last name "Gay."

Why It Matters

The military is set to remove thousands of photos and online posts in the DEI purge following an executive order issued by President Donald Trump.

The Pentagon's directive to remove DEI-related content has resulted in the flagging of more than 26,000 images across all military branches, though officials suggest the final count could exceed 100,000 as reviews continue.

Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth has defended the move, arguing that DEI initiatives undermine military cohesion and operational effectiveness.

What to Know

The executive order mandating the removal of DEI-related content required all military branches to review years of archived material, including website postings, photos, news articles and videos.

If the materials could not be reviewed by the deadline, they were to be "temporarily removed from public display" until further assessment.

A Marine Corps official stated that all flagged images within their database had either been removed or would be removed soon.

However, the process has been slow because of limited personnel numbers. The Marine Corps has only one civilian employee handling the removals, and an estimated 1,600 military-related social media accounts remain under review.

The removal effort has sparked confusion, as some images appear to have been marked for deletion because their filenames contain the word "gay," including those of service members with that last name and the Enola Gay, the Boeing B-29 aircraft that dropped the first atomic bomb in combat during World War II.

The vast majority of the Pentagon purge targets women and minorities and it also removes a large number of posts that mention various commemorative months—such as those for Black and Hispanic people and women.

Images of historically significant military achievements or personnel, such as the Tuskegee Airmen and the first female Marine Corps infantry graduates, have been flagged for removal.

And a photo of Army Corps biologists was on the list, seemingly because it mentioned they were recording data about fish—including their weight, size, hatchery and gender.

What People Are Saying

Pentagon spokesman John Ullyot confirmed the removals: "We are pleased by the rapid compliance across the Department with the directive removing DEI content from all platforms. In the rare cases that content is removed that is out of the clearly outlined scope of the directive, we instruct components accordingly."

Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth said: "DEI is dead. We are returning the focus of the military to merit and mission readiness."

What's Next

Military branches are continuing to review content, but officials have acknowledged that inconsistencies in archival procedures may make it difficult to recover deleted materials.

Some historians and military experts have raised concerns that the removals could lead to the loss of important records documenting the evolution of the armed forces.

We're fortunate in the UK not to be subjected to the Jimmy Kimmel show, but what snippets I've seen of him, he sets a low bar. Now he's just got cancelled for inappropriate remarks following the assassination of Charlie Kirk.

I can't say I oppose this, and I also can't say I'm immune to a small amount of attendant schadenfreude. After all...

2023. Jimmy Kimmel celebrates Tucker Carlson getting fired from Fox.

But, doesn't this fly in the face of the free speech position that many conservatives, or just common-sense people, take, in that, free speech must be for ALL, not merely for those whose speech we agree with? The Leftist media is beating that very drum today as this news breaks far and wide.

But what short memories they have. I'd also say, they're too small-minded to recognise their own hypocrisy.

I tend to think this isn't necessarily an example of "cancel culture" but suffering the natural consequences of a mistake, of reaping what you sow, and, what's more, running afoul of popular opinion. And that's just the way things go sometimes.

So long, Jimmy Kimmel.
