The Deep State just got a reality check that’s sweeter than a MAGA rally on steroids. On February 20, 2026, CIA Director John Ratcliffe dropped a bombshell that’s got the left’s panties in a permanent twist: The agency is yanking or gutting 19 intelligence reports from the past decade because they stunk of political bias and flat-out failed to meet basic standards of impartiality. Yeah, you read that right—the CIA is finally admitting it fell short during the Obama years and beyond, letting ideological garbage cloud its judgment and turn spy work into a woke sideshow. This isn’t some minor oopsie; it’s a full-blown confession that the spooks under Obama and his echo-chamber successors prioritized politics over facts, wasting taxpayer cash on reports that had no business coming out of Langley. But now, with America First back in charge, we’re cleaning house and restoring sanity. Let’s rip this open and see the maggots crawling inside.
The Bombshell Drop: 19 Reports Get the Axe for Being Biased Trash
Ratcliffe didn’t mince words in his February 20 announcement—these 19 products “fall short of the high standards of impartiality that the CIA must uphold and do not reflect the expertise for which our analysts are renowned.” Seventeen got fully retracted, vanishing from the agency’s database like they never existed, while two are getting “substantive revisions” to scrub out the stink. This purge came after the President’s Intelligence Advisory Board combed through 300 finished analyses and red-flagged these duds for deeper scrutiny. An internal review led by Deputy Director Michael Ellis confirmed the mess: These weren’t real intel; they were agenda-driven drivel that violated long-standing rules under Intelligence Community Directive 203, which demands objectivity and solid tradecraft.

The timeline spans administrations, but the rot started deep in Obama land. One report from 2015—smack in the middle of his second term—rambled on about mistreatment of LGBTQ folks in the Middle East and Africa. Sounds touchy-feely, but it was flagged for inappropriate sourcing and straying way outside the CIA’s lane. Fast-forward to 2020 during the first Trump term, and there’s a gem on contraception use amid the COVID-19 panic. Then, in 2021 under Biden, a screed about women getting sucked into racially motivated violent extremist groups, warning that traditional “gender roles” like motherhood could radicalize them. These three got declassified and released as Exhibits A, B, and C of how the agency went off the rails, with heavy redactions to protect whatever scraps of dignity are left.
Most of the 19 duds zeroed in on diversity, equity, and inclusion nonsense—stuff like white nationalism through a victim lens, LGBTQ activism, and family planning debates. These weren’t about tracking terrorists or countering foreign threats; they were social justice essays masquerading as spy work, infused with bias that turned the CIA into a liberal think tank.
What Went Wrong: Politics Trumped Spycraft in the Obama Swamp
So, how did the world’s premier intelligence outfit turn into a bias factory? It boils down to the Obama administration’s obsession with injecting politics into everything, letting ideological blinders warp what should be cold, hard analysis. Back in 2015, when that LGBTQ report dropped, the agency was already sliding into cultural crusades under Obama’s watch, prioritizing feel-good narratives over actual national security. Analysts got away with sloppy sourcing—think op-eds and advocacy rags instead of verified intel—because the top brass wanted reports that fit the progressive playbook. This wasn’t accidental; it was a symptom of an administration that viewed dissent as disloyalty and facts as flexible.
By the time Trump hit in 2017, the damage was baked in, but the bias machine kept churning. The 2020 contraception piece? Pure pandemic hysteria mixed with population control vibes, ignoring real threats like Chinese espionage to chase social engineering. And that 2021 women-in-extremism report? It basically smeared traditional moms as potential radicals, a classic lefty smear job that had zero to do with spying and everything to do with pushing an agenda. These weren’t isolated flubs; they were part of a pattern where political considerations overrode judgment, turning the CIA into a tool for domestic culture wars instead of fighting enemies abroad.
Why did it happen? Simple: Under Obama, the intel community got cozy with the idea that “impartiality” meant aligning with the elite consensus. Dissenting views got sidelined, and reports that didn’t toe the line were buried. This clouded judgment big time, diverting resources from real dangers—like Iranian nukes or Russian hacks—to virtue-signaling sideshows. The result? Wasted millions, eroded trust, and an agency that looked more like a college sociology department than a spy network.

Why the Admission Now: America First Is Draining the Langley Swamp
Ratcliffe’s move isn’t some random housekeeping; it’s a deliberate gut-punch to the politicized mess left by Obama and his heirs. Appointed by Trump, Ratcliffe is using his perch to expose and excise the bias that festered for years. This declassification—dropping those three redacted reports on February 20—is the capstone of an effort to “turn a new page in the agency’s history and correct what he sees as past mistakes.” It’s about restoring the CIA’s core mission: Impartial intel that keeps America safe, not lectures on social issues.
The timing screams America First— with Trump back in the Oval, we’re finally holding the Deep State accountable. No more coddling bias; if a report smells political, it’s gone. This admission forces the agency to confront how Obama-era laxity let politics seep in, compromising everything from sourcing to focus. It’s a win for transparency, but more importantly, it’s a signal that the days of weaponized intel are over.
The Fallout: Cleaning Up Obama’s Mess Means a Stronger America
What does this mean for the country? First off, it’s a massive vindication for those who’ve been yelling about Deep State bias since Obama weaponized the IRS against conservatives. Retracting these reports admits the CIA screwed up, letting politics cloud its work and distract from real threats. Expect more purges as Ratcliffe’s reforms kick in—no room for bias means analysts stick to facts, not feelings.
For America First warriors, this is pure gold: We’re reclaiming institutions from the left’s grip, one biased report at a time. Obama’s legacy takes another hit, exposed as the era when spycraft turned partisan. But the real win is a CIA refocused on enemies, not equity. If we keep this momentum, the swamp drains itself. Patriots, this is how we make intelligence great again—by admitting the failures and axing the failures. The Obama fog is lifting, and clear-eyed security is on the horizon.
