Former President Donald Trump celebrated the Supreme Court striking down affirmative action Thursday.
The Supreme Court ruled affirmative action is a violation of the 14th Amendment’s Equal Protection Clause in a Thursday ruling.
“This is a great day for America. People with extraordinary ability and everything else necessary for success, including future greatness for our Country, are finally being rewarded,” Trump wrote on Truth Social.
“This is the ruling everyone was waiting and hoping for and the result was amazing. It will also keep us competitive with the rest of the world. Our greatest minds must be cherished and that’s what this wonderful day has brought. We’re going back to all merit-based—and that’s the way it should be!”
Trump nominated three of the current justices on the court — Justices Neil Gorsuch, Brett Kavanaugh and Amy Coney Barrett. The 6-3 majority also overturned Roe v. Wade in the Dobbs v. Jackson Women’s Health Organization case, returning abortion regulation to the states. (RELATED: Media Neglects Asian Students In Trump DOJ Affirmative Action Memo Coverage)
The Court considered the case brought forth by students alleging Harvard University and the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill discriminated against white and Asian students through affirmative action policies. An 18-year-old Asian student named Jon Wang told Fox News affirmative action policies prevented him from being admitted into the nation’s top-tier schools despite his exceptionally high SAT score.
George Mason University law professor David Bernstein told the Daily Caller News Foundation there are ways universities can skirt the Supreme Court’s decision, including prioritizing students who are committed to diversity instead of focusing on their standardized test scores.
Meaningless, the left has replaced it with a new program DEI which is the terminal cancer to affirmative action
“Also see his pro-assault weapons ban, bump stocks and taking guns away from people without due process.”

DeSantis hopes red flag laws will help thwart future shootings
Published August 8, 2019
Excerpt:
“ …Florida’s so-called red flag laws allow law enforcement to take away a person’s guns temporarily if they determine a person is an immediate threat.
Many, including the governor, are behind it.
“I just want us to be responsive to that. The vast majorities of these instances have had red flags,” he said. “The Marjory Stoneman Douglas report made that clear. So I think we need to identify that and do something about it.”
Last week, Florida launched a threat assessment portal for schools and law enforcement to share information, which will be confidential. A statewide app called Fortify Florida allows anyone to report suspicious activity anonymously.”

Your Bush man also broadcasted this statement in response to traitor John Bolton’s contribution to his campaign:
“Ambassador Bolton has a keen understanding of the dangers posed to the United States ranging from North Korean aggressions to the threat of a nuclear Iran. I’m proud to stand with him in confronting these daunting challenges and wholeheartedly appreciate his support.”
