    President Trump signed an executive order this afternoon that targets the broken college accreditation system. Basically, colleges and universities become accredited through third-party agencies, which play a big role in determining whether these higher education institutions can receive federal funds. And, President Trump [requires] these college accrediting agencies to change their criteria to prioritize merit over woke ideologies. ... Colleges and universities are accredited to ensure they meet basic standards by third-party entities, not the federal government, though the Department of Education decides which accrediting agencies to recognize. The accreditation process has broad implications since the government uses it to...

This is the first time the DOJ has brought terrorism charges against a member of the newly designated foreign terrorist organization.

    The White House ^ | April 23, 2025 | President Trump
    A bedrock principle of the United States is that all citizens are treated equally under the law. This principle guarantees equality of opportunity, not equal outcomes. It promises that people are treated as individuals, not components of a particular race or group. It encourages meritocracy and a colorblind society, not race- or sex-based favoritism. Adherence to this principle is essential to creating opportunity, encouraging achievement, and sustaining the American Dream.... It is the policy of the United States to eliminate the use of disparate-impact liability in all contexts...

    On Wednesday, Judge Beryl Howell excoriated DOJ lawyers and signaled that she may permanently block President Trump from taking action against Perkins Coie. Last month, President Trump stripped security clearances of the employees at DNC law firm Perkins Coie. Recall that Hillary Clinton and the DNC paid law firm Perkins Coie more than $1 million to hire oppo research firm Fusion GPS to peddle the bogus ‘Trump-Russia’ dossier during the 2016 election. Former British spy Christopher Steele compiled over a dozen memos alleging the Russians had blackmail on Trump and that his associates were conspiring with the Kremlin to win...

    The O’Keefe Media Group on Wednesday released undercover video of a Defense Department Branch Chief attacking President Trump and Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth. Nicolas Turza, a Department of Defense Branch Chief, called President Trump “illegitimate” and vowed to “resist him, everything he does.” Turza also attacked Hegseth and said the 44-year-old is “insanely young” and unfit to lead. “The same guy who tried to overthrow an election is just, like, truly setting us down a path of dictatorship. He’s illegitimate. He’s terribly immoral, breaking every norm. We’re going to resist him. Everything he does,” Turza said about Trump.

    More than a dozen senior lawyers — many with decades of experience working under presidents of both parties — have been reassigned, the current and former officials say. Some have resigned in frustration after they were moved to less desirable roles unrelated to their expertise, according to the sources. “It’s been a complete bloodbath,” said a senior Justice Department lawyer in the division who is not authorized to speak publicly... The managerial jobs vacated in recent weeks have not been filled, so the traditional work of the division has all but stopped.

Former House Speaker Nancy Pelosi held a press conference in San Francisco today with small business owners and community leaders as part of the House Democrats’ “Cost of Living Week of Action.” The purpose of the address was to whine about Trump’s tariffs and economic policies. But what should have been a relatively uneventful speech went viral after Pelosi had some further complications, which will only heighten the cries for her...

    Director of National Intelligence Tulsi Gabbard on Wednesday referred two members of the intelligence community for prosecution by the Department of Justice. The allegation from the Office of the Director of National Intelligence (ODNI) was that the two intelligence professionals had leaked classified information. The move, said an official, should serve "as a warning." This comes as the Department of Defense has suffered leaks intended to harm Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth. The White House has stood by Hegseth despite calls from leftist media for his termination. The New York Times ran an article claiming that Hegseth had sent information regarding...

    The Department of Veterans Affairs has established a task force to determine whether "anti-Christian bias" exists within the federal government's second-largest Cabinet department and is asking its employees to report alleged discrimination by other staff members. The move follows an executive order issued Feb. 6 by President Donald Trump that created a government-wide task force that it claims will "end the anti-Christian weaponization of government." It was unclear what effects it would have on Christian or non-Christian employees at the VA. The VA task force investigation is among the latest efforts by Trump and his administration to dramatically reshape the...

    For socialists, they’re sure a couple of high flyers! Far-left New York Congresswoman Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez was spotted exiting a private jet with her comrade in arms, Sen. Bernie Sanders, after shuttling between stops for a campaign dedicated to denouncing the wealthy. Video from Fox News shows AOC and Sanders exiting a Bombardier Challenger 604 — despite both railing against flying private planes and the people who own them — a luxury aircraft with a lofty $5 million to $7 million price tag and costing an eye-watering $15,000 per hour to charter. The duo hopped the swanky ride to attend a...
