Daily News Roundup
NOTABLE QUOTES
Stella Morabito is a senior contributor at The Federalist: Flyover country now seems to be a special project for left-wing power elites who would like to spread their agendas and homogenize every small corner of the nation.
Rick Hayes contributor to Canada Free Press: Conservatism is not yet dead but it is systematically being liquidated through a sinister system of censorship, disinformation, and condoned lawlessness.
Robert Smith contributor to American Thinker: There’s a cold war underway that’s unlimited in scope, initiated by a pernicious, destructive leftist cult, a war whereby society is to be consumed, spit out, and remade. Failure isn’t an option. Fanatics aren’t interested in splitting differences. They want nothing to do with peaceful coexistence. There’s no “national divorce” in the offing. They’re predatory, sanctimonious, and very willing to blow up everything rather than concede. They’re true believers, whose souls are entirely consumed. A leftist cult on the scale we’re discussing rarely self-immolates without destroying the innocent, too. As with Germany’s Nazi cult, if this evil American cult isn’t vanquished first, it will rule ruinously. And if its hold on power falters, it means to leave nothing behind.
Dr. Ileana Johnson Paugh contributor to Canada Free Press: Unfortunately for Americans advocating democratic socialism, they will get socialism with the Communist Party controlling the means of production or they will get fascism, where the omnipotent government will control corporations’ means of production
Daniel Greenfield contributor to Frontpage Magazine: “Around the country, MAGA extremists are lining up to take those bedrock freedoms away,” Biden claimed, in front of pictures of Donald Trump and Ron DeSantis. What sort of “bedrock freedoms” is he running to protect? According to Biden, he’s going to fight for our freedoms against Republicans “dictating what health care decisions women can make”, a euphemism for killing babies in the womb, and “banning books”, a euphemism for keeping graphic pornographic books out of schools.
Sundance contributor to The Last Refuge: Republican National Committee (RNC) Chairwoman, Ronna McDaniel, appears with freshly enhanced duck lips on Fox News this morning to unveil the secret weapon the RNC has been constructing to defeat the national ballot harvesting efforts of the DNC. A new Fact Checking website that will solve all the RNC challenges for 2024. Seriously…. THIS is what they have put money, time and effort into, and Ronna is so proud.
Emerald Robinson Tweet: Whistleblower Sonya LaBosco ( @LaboscoSonya ) says TSA flagged anyone flying to D.C. from 1/4/2021-1/7/2021 as suspected domestic terrorists. We reached out to TSA for comment–they referred us to DHS. Unfortunately, DHS would not respond to our request.
Catherine Salgado contributor to PJMedia: Are YOU treating chocolate labs and golden labs differently? That seems to be the impression eight out of 11 of America’s top veterinary schools have, as they have implemented critical race theory (CRT) or Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion (DEI) in various ways. Wokeness is the cat’s meow these days when it comes to education, so you can expect in the future that your vet might know more about why he hates white people than what’s wrong with your pet.
Megan Fox contributor to PJMedia: Well, we hope the beer companies of America have learned a lesson. After losing $6 billion in market share, dropping a whopping 17% in sales, and becoming a national laughingstock, Bud Light might be trying to correct course. Instead of heading to a new diversity, equity, and inclusion seminar, executives at AB InBev have canceled their “equity” meetings and are calling an emergency marketing pow-wow to fix the “unmitigated disaster” they created by making Dylan Mulvaney a Bud Light influencer.
Stephen Green contributor to PJMedia: “I never should have done that,” to E.T. The Extraterrestrial, Oscar-winning movie director Steven Spielberg told the Time 100 summit earlier this week. He was referring to politically correct digital edits he made for the movie’s 20th anniversary re-release. “No film should be revised based on the lenses we now are either voluntarily or being forced to peer through,” Spielberg explained.
TYRANNY IN THE NAME OF CLIMATE: GLOBALIST POLITICIANS & BIG BUSINESS ACCUMULATE MORE POWER & CONTROL
Zeisloft: Most Voters Still Do Not Know What ESG Is: Poll
Harvard University’s Center for American Political Studies and The Harris Poll unveiled a recent survey of registered voters which found that 64% of respondents “have not heard of” the movement, which could emerge as an issue amid the 2024 presidential election, particularly among Republicans. When asked whether “investment managers have a duty to prioritize returns above all else” or whether they should be permitted to “take climate and ESG into consideration,” a 52% majority agreed with the former statement and 48% agreed with the latter. Supporters of the ESG movement assert that corporations must exercise their financial power in support of policies which are considered to have beneficial effects on the environment or society at large. Skeptics, on the other hand, contend that the philosophy intermixes political and social causes favored by executives in a manner that distracts companies from profitability.
Some 63% of Republicans affirmed that investment managers should “prioritize returns above all else,” while 56% of Democrats affirmed that fiduciaries can “take climate and ESG into consideration.” Equal shares of independents, on the other hand, supported the two assertions.

Rucker: Biden’s ‘Green’ Policies Following Europe Straight Into the Dark
President Biden and congressional Democrats constantly fret about “climate change.” Indeed, they have made it such a high priority they are taking an “whole of government approach” to addressing it. In fulfilling their aims at curbing emissions, the entire Biden Administration has been systematically and intentionally dismantling the powerful, reliable energy system America has built over the past century, and offering in its place little more than vague promises of a “clean, renewable” system will miraculously appear to replace it. It’s a bold promise. It’s also a foolish one. The reason why is that there really isn’t a solid example, anywhere in the world, that Green energy has proven itself to be a “success” as a main supplier of energy.

The Center Square Staff: Arizona GOP appeals to U.S. Supreme Court to stop COVID-19 vaccine mandate
“We will not allow President Biden to blatantly undermine the will of the Arizona State Legislature in the protections we’ve provided for our citizens to prevent a COVID-19 vaccine mandate from dictating employment opportunities,” Republican Senate President Warren Petersen said in a statement Wednesday.
“The Biden Administration has made it clear that they are against any Americans who push back against this vaccine and will abuse their powers in order to force compliance as a stipulation of doing business with the federal government. Arizona will not tolerate this gross government overreach and intrusion of individual liberties. The Legislature’s intervention in this lawsuit against President Biden is critical in protecting the sovereignty of our state and the rights of all Arizonans,” Petersen continued.

Brock & Duggan: ‘Appalling’: Unearthed Documents Reveal How Hospital Pushes Medical Transitions On Children
Seattle Children’s Hospital encourages medical professionals to offer swift biomedical interventions as the default treatment for young patients with gender identity issues, even when parents are skeptical, and largely avoids recommending mental health services to gender dysphoric youth, according to documents published by the hospital. The hospital, which recently attracted criticism for advertising transgender surgical procedures for minors, published several guides to instruct medical professionals on their treatment decisions regarding “gender affirming medical care” for youth. The guides promote puberty blockers and menstrual suppression drugs for young patients, do not list mental health screenings as a necessary step before medications are administered and instead indicate that mental health treatments are optional and must be sought externally.

Keane: Michigan students sue school for banning ‘Let’s Go Brandon’ sweatshirts
The boys’ mother argued that the ban infringes on their constitutional rights, while the Tri County Area School District insists the sweatshirts violate its dress code, which bars clothing “with messages that are lewd, indecent, vulgar or profane,” the Detroit Free Press reported. The lawsuit alleges that when the brothers wore their “Let’s Go Brandon” sweatshirts to Tri County Middle School last year, an assistant principal and teacher asked them to remove the garments and told one of the boys that “his sweatshirt was equivalent to the f-word.“ […] According to the lawsuit, the slogan “conveys the same opposition to President Biden, sanitized to express the sentiment without using profanity or vulgarity” but is not “lewd, profane, indecent, vulgar or obscene.”

DEMOCRAT PARTY MARXIST PLAYBOOK: CANCEL THE SECOND AMENDMENT
Press: Democrats push 4 gun control bills through Pennsylvania House
The bills passed through committee on party lines. They could go before the full House as early as next week. The measures come as the U.S. is setting a record pace for mass killings in 2023. In Philadelphia, gun violence is playing a big role in this spring’s campaign for mayor, and the city is asking the state’s highest court to allow it to impose its own gun-control policies. Democrats tout the bills as relatively moderate gun-control measures aimed at reducing gun violence, trafficking, suicides and accidents. The package of four bills includes . . . […] Even if the bills win House approval, the package will come up against the Republican-controlled Senate, which has historically been protective of gun rights, while working with Democrats in boosting funding for anti-violence and mental health programs.

DECLARED 2024 REPUBLICAN PRESIDENTIAL PRIMARY CANDIDATES
Bonchie: Nikki Haley Nukes Her Campaign, Sides With Disney in Ridiculous Attack on Ron DeSantis
I’ve never been much of a Nikki Haley fan. She’s always been a milquetoast neoconservative that would have been perfectly at home serving in the George W. Bush administration. Still, I’ve tried to be nice. In other articles, I’ve described her as “fine” and otherwise given her a fair shake even though she’s far from what I’d prefer in a national politician. That all got nuked on Wednesday afternoon, along with what little was left of her fledgling presidential campaign. In one of the most tone-deaf, ill-advised attacks I’ve ever seen in politics, Haley decided to side with The Walt Disney Company against Ron DeSantis, urging the woke multi-national corporation to move to South Carolina.

O”Connell: Asa Hutchinson Formally Announces His 2024 Presidential Run
As promised, on Wednesday, Hutchinson made his formal announcement in his hometown of Bentonville, Arkansas. […] At the age of 72, Hutchinson is younger than President Joe Biden, who is 80. This makes for what is increasingly becoming a crowded Republican field that may rival 2016. Conservative radio host and pundit Larry Elder most recently entered the fray. Hutchinson joins the ranks of former President Donald Trump, Nikki Haley, and Vivek Ramaswamy.
REPUBLICAN U.S. HOUSE MAJORITY
Wilkie: House passes GOP debt limit bill, as McCarthy tries to draw Biden into negotiations
A Republican bill to raise the debt limit and slash government funding passed the House on Wednesday, after 11th hour changes won over a group of holdouts within the GOP caucus. The final tally was 217-215. Four Republicans joined Democrats in voting against their party’s signature piece of legislation.
[…] Instead of viewing the provisions in the 320-page bill as future laws, per se, House Republicans view the plan more as a symbolic opening bid in the negotiations McCarthy will hold with President Joe Biden later this year over the debt limit and federal funding.
Chaitin: Four GOP Holdouts Explain Why They Voted Against McCarthy-Championed Debt Ceiling Bill
The four House Republicans who voted against GOP leadership’s debt ceiling plan are speaking out about why they oppose the bill touted by House Speaker Kevin McCarthy (R-CA) as the United States faces the possibility of an unprecedented default on its obligations this summer. Reps. Matt Gaetz (R-FL), Andy Biggs (R-AZ), Tim Burchett (R-TN), and Ken Buck (R-CO) joined the vast majority of Democrats in opposing the legislation that would suspend the debt limit until it rises by $1.5 trillion or until March 31, 2024 — whichever comes first — in exchange for a host of spending cuts. The final tally showed 217 voted in favor and 215 voted against the “Limit, Save, Grow Act of 2023.” Three members, including one Republican and two Democrats, did not vote.

Greenfield: Biden Runs for 2nd Term to Protect Abortion and Grooming Kids
Biden has tried to ban gas cars and stoves,and has banned incandescent light bulbs, air conditioners, large mesh fishing nets, menthol cigarettes, charter schools, women in sports, conversion therapy, roads in Alaska, and mining in Minnesota among many other things. Now he’s running for a second term on a platform of freedom. “Freedom – personal freedom – is fundamental to who we are as Americans,” Biden, who had fought to force millions of people to wear masks, recited in a campaign video. […] And if you doubt that, Biden’s infrastructure bill included a pilot program to remotely track drivers. His newly revitalized IRS is cracking down on moms who sell used clothes on eBay and his administration created a disinformation office to track political dissent on the internet.

Spencer: RFK Jr. Slams Dems for Rigging the System
Kennedy slammed the Democratic National Committee for having “rigged” the primary system in several ways, chiefly by ruling out the possibility of debates. This deprives us of the spectacle of Old Joe trying to formulate a coherent sentence while RFK denounces “the corrupt merger of state and corporate power” and Marianne Williamson refuses to apologize for being “brilliant, talented, gorgeous, rich, or smart.” “The DNC, at this point,” RFK observed, “has taken the official position that there will be no debate, and I think that’s unfortunate.” Unfortunate is an understatement. Biden’s poll numbers are in the dumpster (yeah, the same one that holds his presidency), and if he is reelected, the already doddering corruptocrat will be president until he is 86 years old. If Democrat voters were to get a glimpse of RFK Jr. in the primary debates being coherent and convincing, the Democrats’ coronation plans could be upended.

THE FIGHT FOR ELECTION INTEGRITY
Mittelstadt: Post-election audits can ‘validate fraud instead of catch it,’ watchdog warns
s red states pass laws to mandate and strengthen post-election hand counts and audits in an effort to restore public faith in election integrity, a watchdog is warning that such measures could “validate fraud instead of catch it” if underlying issues are ignored. […] Over the past few months, red states have introduced legislation or enacted laws that either establish or further define requirements for post-election audits and hand counts. […] Despite such measures to restore public confidence in elections, a leading election integrity watchdog warns that audits and hand counts are not enough to ensure the security of elections. Phill Kline, director of The Amistad Project, told Just the News on Monday that the 2020 election audits were unable to get at the underlying issues that marred that election. “None of those audits can catch the type of improper election management that happened in 2020,” Kline said.
CHINA: AMERICA’S MORTAL ENEMY
Hoekstra: The Chinese Communist Party’s Secret Projects in the US: What Is Going On?
In July 2022, FBI Director Christopher Wray and the head of MI-5, Britain’s domestic security agency, held a joint press conference to discuss the threat from the CCP to the business community — the first time in history the two agencies have spoken to the press jointly. As Ken McCallum, Director General of MI5 stated: “By volume, most of what is at risk from CCP aggression is not, so to speak, my stuff. It’s yours. The world-leading expertise, technology, research and commercial advantage developed and held by the people in this room, and others like you.” McCallum was speaking to the leading businesses in the West that were represented in the room. The CCP wants to make friends and use those friendships to gather information that otherwise would not be available legally or commercially. They also want to use these friendships to promote the interests of the CCP in Western nations. This is a well-thought-out strategy by the CCP to shortcut its path to global economic dominance. As McCallum outlined in the unprecedented joint news conference by the FBI and MI-5, the threat from the Chinese Communist Party is real, dangerous and pervasive.

BIDEN/HARRIS/OBAMA’S AMERICA LAST REGIME: RADICAL TRANSFORMATION OF FOREIGN POLICY
Sperry: War Threatens Ukraine Auto Empire of Biden Megadonor Urging Greater U.S. Role
Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky isn’t the only one demanding more military assistance from President Biden to protect Kiev from Russian forces. So too is a close Delaware friend and financial backer of Biden, who owns several luxury car dealerships around the Ukrainian capital. By sending billions of dollars in weapons and other military aid to help defend Ukraine, Biden also is securing the investments of millionaire car magnate John Hynansky, a Ukrainian American and longtime supporter of the president. […] The connection between Joe Biden and Hynansky’s business ventures dates back to 2009, when the then-vice president made his first visit to Ukraine. In a speech in Kiev to government officials, Biden singled out Hynansky for praise, noting that he had just had breakfast with “my very good friend, John Hynansky.” (The previous year, Hynansky had individually contributed more than $33,000 to the Obama-Biden ticket primarily through the Obama Victory Fund, according to FEC records.)

BIDEN/HARRIS/OBAMA’S AMERICA LAST REGIME: RADICAL TRANSFORMATION OF AMERICA
Nobel: The Next Two FED Meetings Could Be Market Movers
There is little doubt today that what the Federal Reserve decides to do with both interest rates and its massive balance sheet is perhaps the most important variable moving markets. The next two FED meetings loom as particularly important. The key dates will be May 3rd-4th and June 14th-15th. To be sure, corporate earnings, retail sales, real estate activity, industrial production, the world economy, politics, tax policy, and numerous other variables impact markets as well. But nothing has been moving markets over the past 20 years quite like FED policy. While economists and historians will no doubt continue to debate the efficacy of the central bank intervention, the fact is those of us with money in markets must deal with it. Right now, we notice the chart action of many important markets are sitting on major inflection points. An inflection point is defined as a market at either important overhead resistance or downside support. Which way the FED goes could well push markets above resistance or below support, creating important signals in a variety of markets. In the past month or so, the markets have been coming down in volatility into a kind of eerie holding pattern, suggesting considerable confusion among market participants.

Downey, Jr.: Biden’s War on Children Is Working Too Well
Gropey Joe Biden seems to be waging a war on children, and half the nation seems to be ok with that. FACT-O-RAMA! Many liberals will agree with any/every decree from their commie masters so they can virtue-signal their cowardice to the world, even when they are told it’s ok to mutilate an eight-year-old child who is hungry for social acceptance and “likes” on TikTok. President Biden seems to have many ways to harm kids — or at least keep them from procreating. Let’s look at two of them.
Biden Establishes ‘Interagency Task Force With Senior Government Officials’ to Stop ‘Islamophobia’
Old Joe Biden’s ghostwriters issued a statement Thursday to congratulate Muslims on Eid al-Fitr, the feast marking the end of the fasting-by-day-and-gorging-by-night month of Ramadan. Predictably, it was anodyne and obsequious in the extreme, with Biden celebrating how Muslims “decorate their homes, give gifts to loved ones, wear new clothes, and visit family and friends.” The faux president is made to add: “I am moved by the generosity that is shown from families that can provide food and give charity to those in need through Zakat-al-Fitr.” In the course of all this flattery, Biden’s writer drops in a serious note: there is now a U.S. government task force dedicated to fighting “Islamophobia.” […] Most importantly, since the Biden regime is now officially committed to efforts to convince us of the wonderfulness of Islam, it is not likely to look kindly upon critics of the religion, including opponents of jihad violence and Sharia oppression of women. Will the interagency task force make any efforts to protect the right of Americans to oppose jihad terror and Sharia oppression? Will it be careful to distinguish such criticism from the alleged hatred that this task force is supposed to be combating, or will it act upon the assumption that any and all criticism of Islam, and even of jihad terror, subjects Muslims to “hate” and must accordingly be silenced?
Jacobs: Biden Invites More Illegal Immigrants By Proposing ‘Free’ Health Care At Your Expense
Late last year, the Biden administration gave Washington state permission to let undocumented immigrants buy Obamacare coverage. Now, the administration wants to go further, and allow hundreds of thousands of individuals here illegally to obtain federal subsidies for that coverage. On Monday, the Department of Health and Human Services (HHS) released a proposed rule that would extend eligibility for Medicaid and Obamacare coverage to individuals participating in the Deferred Action for Childhood Arrivals (DACA) program. Doing so would open up taxpayer-funded insurance subsidies to as many as 580,000 individuals illegally present in the United States, which will only encourage additional migration. Per the administration’s estimates, this change would also cost at least $2 billion in its first five years, at a time when the federal government already faces staggering debt.
Morabito: Leftist Invaders Will Soon Be In Your Corner Of Red America — If They Haven’t Colonized It Already
War on normal Americans seems to have found its final frontier in the conservative small towns and rural communities often called red strongholds on the political map. Infiltration of red America by woke activists and their agendas is nearing, or has passed, the inflection point.
Thus, migrants who flee from blue to red communities tend to be of two types: refugees or invaders. Refugees tend to assimilate. They respect the traditions of their newfound localities. Invaders, on the other hand, seem intent on turning red communities into replicas of the high tax and crime-ridden places they left. […] Red states start going purple one county council, one school board takeover at a time.
Goodman: ‘Not Normal’: Biden Turns White House Into Housing Option for Extended Family
No president in decades has had as many adult relatives taking up residence in the White House than President Joe Biden, who has reportedly turned the official residence into a free housing option for his extended family. In addition to his son Hunter Biden, who is rumored to be living at the residence to avoid getting served with legal papers in his messy child custody battle, the president’s granddaughter Naomi and her then-fiance Peter Neal also lived at the White House for “a few months” last fall, the couple told Vogue last year. […] Biden’s relatives appear to be living at the White House for convenience. Naomi Biden, Hunter Biden’s oldest child, told Vogue last year that she and her fiance moved into the White House because their apartment lease ran out, and the magazine described their descent from “their living quarters on the third floor of the White House residence to practice their first dance.”
With 16 bedrooms, 35 bathrooms, a full-time chef and a team of staff, the White House is far more extravagant than even the $12,000-per-month Hollywood Hills home that Hunter Biden lived in three years ago while refusing to pay child support.

Frank ran in the New York City Marathon in February, finishing 14,096th out of 26,539. Frank is a mediocre runner in any sex so whatever advantage Frank had running as a woman wasn’t enough to improve Frank’s status as an athlete. “How can they say that I’ve cheated, who have I cheated? I did it in four hours and 11 minutes,” Franks told MailOnline.
THE DEMOCRAT PARTY MARXIST PLAYBOOK: PROMOTE & GLORIFY GENDER DYSPHORIA A MENTAL ILLNESS
ben-Tekoa: Transgenderism Stripped Naked
There is no such thing as transgender because there is no such thing as gender outside of grammar. Feminist theorists like the late Kate Millet pilfered the term from linguistics, where it refers to the practice in many languages (if not English) of labeling nouns, adjectives and, sometimes, verbs, as either masculine, feminine, or neuter. “Gender” was chosen to name an imaginary, inner identity that can be either male or female or a mixture of both having no necessary connection to a person’s anatomy. And never mind that no medical expert can locate its source in the brain or body. Whatever the “transgender” person is feeling, it is no more tangible than a dream or fantasy. Before the invention of the term “transgender,” “transexual,” a.k.a. “sex change” was in fashion, though no one ever has been changed into the opposite sex. No male has ever been surgically fitted with a working womb, ovaries, fallopian tubes, etc. The first surgeons who tried to transform a man into a woman were doctors in 1920s “Cabaret” Germany. It is a fair bet that the mad Dr. Mengele at Auschwitz knew of that operation before he executed his satanic “medical” experiments on captive, helpless Jews. Likewise, no woman has ever been implanted with seed-producing testes and a working male member. Actually, before the birth of “transgender” and “transsexual”—the honest term was . . .

Greg Price Threadreader: The Louisiana House Education Committee just moved a bill out of committee to make it illegal for teachers to hide a child’s gender transition from parents. Here was the reaction from lgbt people who testified against the bill when the vote passed. The committee also moved another bill to the floor that bans classroom discussion of gender identity and sexual orientation from K-12th graders. One of the people who testified against it was a drag queen with a blue face who called himself “big gay baby.” A teacher testifies against the bill by talking about how her 4th grade students came out as queer to her after talking to them about sexuality. A “He/They” tells the committee that the “blood of trans children will be on your hands” for making it illegal for teachers to transition a child behind the backs of parents.

Velo: Denying The Sexes Is Bigger Than Bathrooms And Sports. It’s About Forcing All Of Us To Live A Lie
Those of us who fight on the gender ideology front tend to focus on one or two aspects. Some emphasize the danger men pose in women’s spaces. Some advocate the unfairness of men in women’s sports. Some point out the harm of housing dangerous men in women’s prisons. Some highlight the erasure of women in medicine. And many work diligently to stop the mutilation of children. Each of these battles is important, but those engaged in these small battles must also keep sight of the overall goal: winning the culture war. I hear many say if they’d leave the women and kids alone, gender controversy would die down. If males dressed as females would stay out of women’s spaces, they’d be accepted. But there is a much bigger issue here: The most offensive component is the denial of reality.

Reese: ‘Not A Competition’: Teachers Union President Can’t Answer If Parents Care More About Their Kids’ Education
Republican Ohio Rep. Jim Jordan asked American Federation of Teachers (AFT) President Randi Weingarten twice if parents care more about their child’s education than a teacher does, during a Wednesday Select Subcommittee on the Coronavirus Pandemic hearing. Weingarten did not answer the question, instead insisting that both parents and teachers care about a child and play an important role in a student’s life. […] Parents, school districts and lawmakers across the country are battling for a say in children’s education; while honoring the 2023 National teacher of the year on Monday President Joe Biden said that the nation’s children belong to everyone. In Maryland, parents pushed back against a school board that refused to give them the choice to opt their children out of lessons on gender identity and sexual orientation.

EDUCATION INDOCTRINATION
Hagstrom: 673 university professors sign letter opposing courses on America’s founding, Constitution
The 673 UNC Chapel Hill professors revealed the public letter Tuesday, arguing the new courses and another bill in the North Carolina House of Representatives would constitute an infringement on the university’s “academic freedom.” The first piece of legislation, House Bill 96, would require students to take a 3 credit-hour course covering America’s founding and history. Required reading for the course would include the U.S. Constitution, the Declaration of Independence, the Emancipation Proclamation, at least five essays from the Federalist Papers, Dr. Martin Luther King Jr.’s Letter from Birmingham Jail and the Gettysburg Address. The professors argue the legislation “violates core principles of academic freedom” and “substitutes ideological force-feeding for the intellectual expertise of faculty.”
Van Spakovbsky: Columbia Law School—EXPOSED
If you thought based on our coverage of the curriculums at Yale, Stanford, and Chicago that you had seen the worst of the political indoctrination that passes for a law school education these days, wait until you see the curriculum at the Columbia Law School in New York City. Parents are paying $331,350 — or students are going into enormous debt — for what amounts to a three-year reeducation camp at Columbia to produce leftist social warriors who will, as Christian says, “upend centuries of legal traditions and institutions,” including trashing the U.S. Constitution, to usher in the Marxist, socialist utopia they think we should be. And just like the other schools we are examining, everything is centered not on training budding lawyers to analyze a legal issue and provide sound advice to a client or to serve as an effective prosecutor who can protect the public from dangerous criminals, but rather on convincing students that we live in a systematically racist, sexist society engaging in mass incarceration for political reasons.

Mittelstadt & Solomon: In extraordinary move, Trump lawyers ask Congress to intervene in classified documents controversy
The legal team led by attorney Timothy Parlatore sent a letter to House Intelligence Committee Chairman Mike Turner and the Gang of Eight congressional leadership declaring the unprecedented FBI raid on Mar-a-Lago last August was unnecessary and shielded Congress from being alerted to a lax National Archives and Records Administration (NARA) security system that boxed up classified documents with mementos and shipped them to the Florida compound without regard to protecting national secrets. […] The letter levels some of the Trump camp’s harshest criticism of federal prosecutors, now led by Special Counsel Jack Smith, and NARA, suggesting they have tried to orchestrate a scandal and prosecution that would hide the failures of federal bureaucracy in allowing classified materials to land not only in Trump’s home but also Joe Biden’s home and office and even Jimmy Carter’s facilities.

Beaton: Americans are not working, nor is their collapsing culture
The unemployment rate is very low, but we have millions fewer people working in America than pre-pandemic. So what gives? Here’s what gives. It’s because the unemployment rate does not measure the total number of people who are unemployed. It instead measures the number of people who are unemployed but looking for work. Many people who are unemployed today are simply not looking. Work is not to their liking. Of those who do work, it appears that many are not working very hard. For example, overtime hours are down. “Working” from home is still very common. This was building for years (or perhaps I should say deteriorating for years) but really took off in the pandemic. People were told it was permissible not to work. In fact, for a while they were told it was not permissible to work; they were ordered to stay at home.

Margolis: Tucker Carlson Has a Theory on Why He Was Fired
“Carlson has told people he doesn’t know why he was terminated. According to the source, [Fox News CEO Suzanne Scott] refused to tell him how the decision was made; she only said that it was made ‘from above.’ Carlson has told people he believes his controversial show is being taken off the air because the Murdoch children intend to sell Fox News at some point,” Vanity Fair reports. The potential sale of Fox News could have huge implications for the network. New ownership could shake up the entire organization, which is already struggling in the wake of Carlson’s departure.
Cunningham: Disney Sues Ron DeSantis, Claiming ‘Targeted Campaign’ of Government Retaliation
It’s the latest twist in a fight that began when Disney took a company-wide stance against the Parental Rights in Education Act that was heavily endorsed by DeSantis. Disney opposed the bill after internal pushback from employees over the company’s silence over the bill. In the lawsuit, the company is claiming that DeSantis engaged in a “targeted campaign” of retaliation following their stance against the bill. […] As part of the alleged retaliation, Disney is taking on the continued fight over Reedy Creek and the agreement that gave the company autonomous status over the property. A governor-appointed board, whose members are also named as defendants, on Wednesday “voted to nullify earlier agreements that had given Disney authority over most construction near its Orlando resort,” according to Axios.
Lebowitz: Bannon allies sentenced to prison in ‘We Build the Wall’ scheme
We Build the Wall” campaign fundraisers Brian Kolfage and Andrew Badolato were sentenced to prison on Wednesday for their role in defrauding hundreds of thousands of donors and stealing the proceeds, the Department of Justice said. Kolfage was sentenced to 51 months in prison, just over four years, and Badolato was sentenced to three years in prison. Kolfage and Badolato both pleaded guilty in April last year to one count of conspiracy to commit wire fraud in the donor scheme. The crime carries a maximum sentence of 20 years in prison. The two were also handed three years of supervised release. Kolfage, 41, was ordered to forfeit over $17.8 million and pay over $2 million in restitution. Badolato, 58, must forfeit over $1.4 million and pay the same amount in restitution.

Bartee: Heroic Ugandan President Rejects Global LGBTQ+++™ Lobby, Doubles Down on ‘Anti-Homosexual’ Bill
As reported previously, Ugandan President Yoweri Museveni has fallen under intense pressure from Western governments and international NGOs to allow them to reshape his country’s society to accommodate LGBTQ+++™ ideology. (It’s worth noting here that Museveni was theoretically democratically elected in 2016, and so criticism from the Western governments would seem to contradict their professed deep respect for Democracy™ they use to bludgeon Donald Trump and other political opponents.) This guy, as Duke Nukem would say, has got balls of steel.

WATCH: Former student delivers powerful speech against LGBT agenda at Catholic school board meeting
Parents and other concerned citizens cheered for a former York Catholic District School Board (YCDSB) student on Tuesday after he gave an impassioned speech at a board meeting to promote the teachings of the Catholic Church and oppose pro-LGBT flags being flown in the schools during this June’s “Pride Month”.
In the video, 20-year-old Myles Vosylius, a former student at Cardinal Carter Catholic High School in Aurora, Ontario, recounted the conversion journey he experienced during his time there and explained how this relates to the current crisis of gender ideology pervading the school system. Vosylius explained that a few years before entering high school, his parents went through a divorce, ripping a “hole” into his life and forcing him to “mature and grow up quickly.” However, Vosylius recalled that in his “typical high school life, sin was rampant,” and it wasn’t until he underwent a “radical conversion” while adoring the Blessed Sacrament that he began to heal.
