The Biden administration has canned several immigration judges, all appointed by Trump, and replaced them with “progressive” magistrates. Republicans have an idea as to why this happened (spoiler alert: politics as usual) but sent a letter to Attorney General Merrick Garland demanding answers anyway. Sen. Chuck Grassley (R-Iowa) and Rep. Jim Jordan (R-Ohio) want the answers by 5 p.m. on August 3. The letter begins:Dear Attorney General Garland:We write about your decision to terminate the employment of multiple immigration judges who were hired during the Trump Administration. If true, your termination of these immigration judges because of their political ideology...

WASHINGTON — An Anglican chaplain who was fired and reported to an anti-terrorism program for preaching Christian doctrine on sexual ethics during a chapel service is warning about the totalitarian ideologies actively at work in the West. At a breakout session at the International Religious Freedom Summit, a panel on “polite persecution” — a phrase coined by Pope Francis — assembled by The Heritage Foundation, a conservative think tank, described how secular abortion and gender activists are gutting cherished freedoms in countries that have historically championed religious liberty. Often, religious persecution is state-sanctioned. This so-called polite kind of hostility is...

You might think that students at any university would be thrilled to have a Supreme Court Justice — any Supreme Court Justice — on board as an adjunct law professor, and maybe that would be true in a sane world, but while America in 2022 can be called many things, “sane” is not high on the list.A petition to administrators at George Washington University to fire Justice Clarence Thomas from its law faculty has received over 9,000 signatures, but in a move that is decidedly at odds with campus culture today, the university has adamantly refused to fire Thomas and...

The president of Princeton University recently recommended that the school fire a tenured professor over sexual misconduct issues, but those issues were already adjudicated in 2018. It appears the real reason they want to get rid of him is for the crime of questioning the university’s new anti-racism policies.Here’s the playbook: person expresses thoughtcrime. The Puritans and the bureaucrats go digging. Then they caricature and smear the person based on their worst moment or mistake. They pretend it’s about that, but the thoughtcrime was always the thing.https://t.co/rhn3gFgfqR— Bari Weiss (@bariweiss) May 20, 2022Here’s the timeline: in 2006, tenured classics Professor...

Special Counsel John Durham is not yet finished with his investigation into the Obamagate scandal, and a new report says his efforts have expanded. According to recent court filings, Durham has gained access to a significant amount of FBI internal affairs files in his effort to uncover the Obama administration’s maneuvers to promote bogus allegations against Donald Trump during the 2016 presidential election. Team Obama’s disingenuous investigation of the anti-Trump allegations, called Crossfire Hurricane, relied on the discredited Christopher Steele dossier, which was paid for by party activists. The Washington Times reports that “Three times in his 19-page submission Mr....

I currently work in for a government organization in Alberta, Canada. Vaxxes are required by November 1. The electronic forms for posting an 'exception' only became available last week. I was advised by my union today, that the 'religious exemptions standard was EXCEPTIONALLY high, and that based on what I told him, I would not get it. Please pray for me, that the Lord will let me either keep my job or get something that will allow me to continue working. As I usually have to work weekends and often miss Church, a different job, with no Sundays, would be...

A Minnesota surgeon believes he was fired from his job after telling school officials that parents should have the choice of whether or not their children wear masks to school. Dr. Jeffrey Horak spoke before the school board at a public meeting in the town of Fergus Falls on October 11. He gave a speech against the school's temporary mask mandate, which had gone into effect the day prior. 'You mandate this across the road - that's a tough place to go,' Horak told the board. He then suggested there was a higher power in charge of the students' behavior...

If you thought a religious exemption would prevent everyone from getting fired from their jobs, think again. As the vaxx-nannies push to segregate society completely between the vaxxed and unvaxxed, pesky religious rights are only speed bumps, not roadblocks. The latest victim of medical discrimination comes from Washington State University where head coach Nick Rolovich and four assistants were fired today for not complying.According to The Sun:Rolovich, Washington State’s highest-paid employee who applied for a religious exemption from the vaccine earlier this month, is expected to be replaced with defensive coordinator Jake Dickert as the interim coach, a source told...

Beth Faber knows sports. She knows sports media. She knows sports fans and what they want to hear and see when the game is on the line. Faber knows all of this because she’s been doing sports media with ESPN for nearly three decades.But ESPN just fired Beth Faber, not because she reported something inaccurately, or failed to show up on time for a broadcast or refused an assignment. She was fired because her religious faith tells her not to be vaccinated against Covid.How valued an employee was she? Here’s how Front Office Sports (FOS) described her in the introduction...

It’s really no secret that Fox News today is nowhere near the Fox News of 2016. Once Roger Ailes left, the whole thing went to hell in a hand-basket. But the worst thing that happened, was adding that snake, Paul Ryan to the Fox board. I don’t think they could have found a more anti-America First globalist if they tried. And now, Matt Gaetz, who recently launched a new podcast, announced who was behind the firing of popular Fox host Lou Dobbs. And you guessed it…It’s that snake, Paul Ryan. Bizpaceview reported on what Gaetz said:“One of my favorite shows...

CNN has fired three employees for coming to the office unvaccinated against COVID-19.All employees working in its offices or in the field had been required to be fully vaccinated. CNN President Jeff Zucker said in a memo to staff on Thursday that the cable news channel has “a zero-tolerance policy on this” and fired the three staffers after finding out that they had been coming to the office unvaccinated for this past week.“You need to be vaccinated to come to the office,” Zucker said. “And you need to be vaccinated to work in the field, with other employees, regardless of...

Andrew Saul, the Social Security Commissioner President Biden fired on Friday, is vowing to fight his termination given he was appointed to a six-year term by former President Trump in 2019.“This was the first I or my deputy knew this was coming,” he said, referring to the email he received from the White House Personnel Office on Friday. “It was a bolt of lightning no one expected. And right now it’s left the agency in complete turmoil.”Saul’s firing came after he refused to resign, though his deputy, David Black, did step down upon the administration’s request. “I consider myself the...

The White House confirmed to Fox News and other news outlets that it terminated Saul’s employment after he refused a request to resign. In an interview with the Washington Post, Saul said he received an email from the White House Personnel Office on Friday morning about the...

Adeel Raja on Sunday posted on Twitter, “The world today needs a Hitler.” He later deleted the post. “Adeel Raja has never been a CNN employee.
