The best time for a university to perform a civil-rights audit was two full years ago, right after the Supreme Court announced its decisions in the Students for Fair Admissions cases. The next best time is now. In short, the Supreme Court wrote in 2023, “Eliminating racial discrimination means eliminating all of it.” That means ending discrimination not only in admissions but across the entire university. Furthermore, Title VI of the 1964 Civil Rights Act has long been interpreted to ban racial discrimination across all of a university’s programs and activities. Even the Biden administration’s Office for Civil Rights (OCR)...

Attorney General Pam Bondi is in hot water today after the Epstein list that was "on her desk" a few months ago somehow went missing. Before you start attacking Bondi though, consider these seven totally reasonable explanations for what might have happened: 1. Bondi threw it away because she saw the list included every single person living in Hollywood and D.C. and realized there must be some mistake: Obviously. 2. Bondi meant she had Epstein's Spotify list: It was a simple misunderstanding. 3. She really had the list, but her dog ate it, and she was going to try to...

Ukraine joining NATO would be viewed by Russia as an existential threat, likely triggering a severe and multifaceted military escalation that could lead to a broader European war. The Kremlin has consistently framed NATO’s eastward expansion as the primary justification for its aggression, meaning Kyiv’s accession would be a direct challenge to Russia’s perceived sphere of influence.

As The Gateway Pundit reported on Tuesday, sparks flew in the Cabinet Room when a reporter dared to ask a question about the “lingering mysteries” in the Epstein case, including Epstein’s ties to American or foreign intelligence agencies like Israel’s Mossad. This comes after the FBI unbelievably determined that Epstein did commit suicide and that there is no incriminating client list, no credible blackmail evidence, and no grounds to investigate uncharged individuals connected to Epstein’s massive sex trafficking operation. President Trump went off on the reporter, calling the question a “desecration” of the situation in Texas and the success of...

WASHINGTON, D.C. (July 9, 2025) – Cygnal, one of the nation’s fastest growing and most accurate private polling firms, released the following monthly National Voter Trends (NVT) poll (conducted July 1-2) of 1,500 likely 2026 midterm election voters. Data vs. Dogma Here are two prevailing narratives across the news and social media landscape that don’t square with the latest data: DOGMA: Broad Opposition to ICE Raids: Voters are split about the causes of the recent Los Angeles protests turned riots (40% federal agents, 37% protest agitators) DATA: However, 50 percent of voters support ICE’s overall mission to remove illegal immigrants...

VIDEOBANG! WOOSH!Canadians have a reputation for being polite. So when Canadian golfers get into a fight they courteously make sure to provide the appropriate sound effects as you can see here. It looked so much like a scene out of a Batman TV episode that I felt obligated to provide the proper visuals to go with the sound effects. So what is the moral lesson that can be taken from this video? It's that when you down enough Molsons on the golf course, you end up feeling no pain. WOOSH!!!

Joe Biden’s physician Dr. O’Connor refused to testify before the Oversight Committee and pleaded the 5th Amendment. House Oversight Chairman James Comer subpoenaed Dr. O’Connor to testify on Joe Biden’s health decline. Dr. O’Connor initially stalled and on Wednesday he showed up to the Rayburn House Office, asserted doctor-patient privilege and pleaded the 5th Amendment. Chairman Comer fumed after Dr. O’Connor pleaded the fifth at his deposition.

Defendant-Appellant Douglass Mackey (“Mackey”) appeals from a judgment of conviction entered on October 25, 2023 after a jury trial in the United States District Court for the Eastern District of New York (Donnelly, J.). Mackey was convicted of conspiring to injure citizens in the exercise of their right to vote in violation of 18 U.S.C. § 241 based on three memes he posted or reposted on Twitter shortly before the 2016 presidential election. These memes falsely suggested that supporters of then-candidate Hillary Clinton could vote by text message. On appeal, Mackey argues, inter alia, that the evidence was insufficient to...

WASHINGTON, D.C. — Attorney General Pam Bondi explained today that she was really going to release all of the Epstein files, but some pedophiles asked her to please not. Bondi stated that she understood the disappointment over her not releasing the client list, which has been "on her desk" since February, but she promised the pedophiles that she wouldn't. "Sorry guys, I told the pedophiles I would keep it under wraps," said Bondi to reporters. "Look, I'm just as bummed as you are. I had all these great little binders made up, with all the incriminating evidence I promised to...

While sourdough might seem like just another type of bread you can make or buy, it actually used to be one of the only options. Until the development of commercial yeasts in the 1800s, sourdough, made with naturally occurring yeasts and lactic acid bacteria, was the main type of leavened bread consumed worldwide. Sourdough undergoes natural fermentation rather than relying on additives found in baker's yeast. This means that, compared to other breads, it is easier to digest, has a less significant impact on blood sugar, and is potentially more nutritious. 1. It's Easier to Digest The fermentation process used...

The mother of New York City’s Democrat Mayoral nominee, Zohran Mamdani, is on record saying that he doesn’t even consider himself American — as the young socialist gets ready to potentially take over America’s largest city.. Hindustan Times back in 2013 quoted Mamdani’s mother Mira, a filmmaker, as saying: “He is a total desi. Completely. We are not firangs at all. He is very much us. He is not an Uhmericcan (American) at all.” (Desi is a term roughly meaning, “one from the country,” while “firangs” roughly translates to “outsiders.”) ... He was born in Uganda, raised between India and...

Former CIA Director John Brennan and disgraced former FBI Director James Comey are now under criminal investigation by the FBI for potential wrongdoing related to the now-debunked Trump–Russia collusion narrative — including allegedly lying under oath to Congress, according to bombshell revelations from DOJ sources obtained by Fox News. According to DOJ sources, CIA Director John Ratcliffe formally referred evidence of Brennan’s misconduct to FBI Director Kash Patel for criminal review. Meanwhile, a separate FBI probe into James Comey is also active, though details remain under wraps. Sources told Fox News that the feds are exploring a potential “conspiracy” between...

A large file of over 320 pages, damming the paper Haaretz who lost its way especially since 2000.

These are dark days for the ghouls of the gun-grabber lobby. Even though pro-freedom patriots have suffered some setbacks, in the grand scheme of things, we have them in retreat. Given that, we’re here to make the case for why everyone should have an AR-15, especially in celebration of Firearm Freedom Month.Naturally, the AR-15 and semi-automatic firearms, in general, have been one of the gun-grabbers’ biggest goals, and they made some headway in some states. But even that will work against the left. When there is no appreciable change in crime statistics, they will lose even that argument — unless...

At about 8:00 starts Interview with Dr. Noam Arnon, spokesman for Hebron community and involved in the 20-year effort to help local Hebron-ite Arabs secede from the PA and form its own Emirate under the leadership of the Jabri clan, which would then join the Abraham Accord and live in harmony with Jewish neighbors in Hebron. At 43:00 Arnon is done and he interviews insane woman, causing me to lose interest and shut it off. So after a brief summary of the Entebbe rescue, between 8:00 and 43:00 is the meat of the interview with Arnon regarding the Jabri Emirate...

O’Donnell claimed, without evidence, that Trump’s decisions somehow negatively impacted the early warning systems for the flood waters. “What a horror story in Texas,” O’Donnell, who moved to Dublin, Ireland, earlier this year after Trump was re-elected, said in a TikTok video posted Sunday. “When the president guts all of the early warning systems and the weathering forecast abilities of the government, these are the results that we’re going to start to see on a daily basis.” “It’s because he put this country in so much danger by his horrible, horrible decisions and this ridiculously immoral bill that he just...

Lefty billionaire Michael Bloomberg is back in the spotlight exploiting the disastrous Texas floods to blow a gasket over arguably his most obsessive political issue — you guessed it — climate change. The anti-American energy media mogul belched out a new op-ed on Bloomberg Opinion pontificating how “The Texas Floods Were Made Worse by Climate Denialism.” No, he wasn’t kidding. Bloomberg railed about how “[t]he scientific evidence is clear that the more frequent extreme weather we are experiencing is being driven by climate change — and that it’s only going to get worse.” Of course the Texas floods which killed...

VIDEOThe level of HYPOCRISY from this deluded Leftist is astounding. He wants to boycott Etsy for the "high crime" of allowing Alligator Alcatraz merch to be sold on its site but not a word of complaint from him over Commie merch being sold on Etsy. Examples of the latter include violent Commie Che Guevara and murderous Mao who caused the mass starvation of millions of Chinese during the failed Great Leap Forward. Plenty of prison merch is also sold on Etsy such as Folsom Prison and San Quentin merch but the Left only gets upset over Alligator Alcatraz. BTW, if...

The dominant Western narrative that Europe can arm Ukraine to victory against Russia is a “dangerous fantasy.” Europe’s defense industrial base is too hollowed out, its weapons production timelines too long, and its political will too fragile to offset Russia’s formidable military and industrial might.

Secretary of Agriculture Brooke Rollins revealed that the United States Department of Agriculture (USDA) is rolling out the National Farm Security Action Plan, which will “promote agricultural prosperity” and “defend the foundations of agriculture” and strengthen the U.S. domestic food supply. During a virtual pen & pad event on Monday evening, ahead of a press conference on Tuesday, Rollins explained that the plan includes “seven key action items.” One of the key action items focused on “securing and protecting the American farmland,” while another key point focused on “rooting out fraud, abuse, and foreign adversaries” that were posing a threat...
