BREAKING: In a SHAMEFUL display, The Atlantic reports that Gen. Daniel "Chappie" James Jr. the first Black four-star general in American history has had his portrait quietly removed from the Pentagon. Another casualty in the Trump Administration's war on anything labeled "DEI." Honoring the first Black general to wear four stars isn't an ideology. It's history. It's earned.

Gen. James didn't get four stars handed to him. He earned them as a fighter pilot who flew 78 combat missions in Korea and another 100 over Vietnam, then rose to command the air defenses of the entire United States. He spent his life proving that excellence in uniform has no color.

You can take down a painting but you can't erase what he did for this country.
