Google Fellowship’s Racial Caps on White, Asian Nominees May Be Civil Rights Violation, Report Says

/0 Comments/in , /by

A directive that limits the number of White and Asian students universities can nominate for a highly sought-after Google fellowship may be in violation of civil rights law, according to a report.

The Washington Free Beacon reported Tuesday that Google’s Ph.D. Fellowship allows participating universities to nominate four Ph.D. students each year.

“If a university chooses to nominate more than two students, the third and fourth nominees must self-identify as a woman, Black / African descent, Hispanic / Latino / Latinx, Indigenous, and/or a person with a disability,” Google’s criterion says, according to the Free Beacon.

The fellowship gives the selected computer-scientist students $100,000. The outlet reported that the rule has been in place since at least April 2020.

Universities that have nominated students in that time frame are a veritable who’s-who of elite institutions — Harvard, Yale, Duke, Princeton, Stanford, Cornell and Johns Hopkins, to name a few.

‘GREAT CANDIDATES’: Trump Celebrates ‘All Wins’ After Sarcastically Endorsing Dems

/0 Comments/in , /by

Former President Donald Trump celebrated “ALL WINS” from his favorites in primary races on Tuesday evening – a tongue-in-cheek statement that may have included his sarcastic “endorsements” of Democrats.

The former president, who endorsed a handful of candidates in the 2022 midterm season, gushed about the wins on his social platform Truth Social.

“Looks like a fantastic evening of ALL WINS – Great Candidates!!!” Trump wrote Tuesday evening.

He later added: “26 and 0 tonight, turning numerous tight races into big and easy wins. Overall for last 4 years, 98.4% on Endorsements!”

Trump had jokingly endorsed Democratic candidates such as Dan Goldman, who won his New York primary on Tuesday night. “It is my great honor to Strongly Endorse him,” Trump wrote in a Truth Social post last week.

‘I’m a High-Profile Person’: Paul Pelosi DUI Footage Released After Guilty Plea

/0 Comments/in , /by

The California Highway Patrol released photos and videos from the night the husband of House Speaker Nancy Pelosi (D-CA) was arrested on suspicion of driving under the influence.

In the newly unveiled footage, Paul Pelosi, 82, is heard slurring his words as police question him over his level of intoxication and direct him through sobriety tests. Pelosi pleaded guilty to one charge of DUI on Tuesday in exchange for a five-day prison sentence and additional penalties.

However, Pelosi has already served two days, received credit for two additional days, and will participate in a work program for the remaining time, Politico reported.

Dashcam footage obtained by the Washington Examiner showed Pelosi informing an officer on the scene that he drank a glass of champagne and a glass of wine that night. One of the officers noted that Pelosi was grasping the patrol vehicle to maintain his balance.

Rand Paul Tells NIH to Retain Fauci Records

/0 Comments/in , /by

Sen. Rand Paul (R-KY) is demanding that the National Institutes of Health retain documents connected to outgoing National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases Director Dr. Anthony Fauci as the lawmaker prepares to ratchet up his long-standing feud with the health official.

As a parting gift to Fauci, Paul vowed to carry on with his investigations into the doctor’s handling of the COVID-19 pandemic and allegations that he “funneled tax dollars to fund dangerous research in communist China.” The senator explained that the preservation of Fauci documents is critical for his investigation of the doctor.

“I formally request you ensure the preservation of all documents and communications within Dr. Fauci’s possession related to his tenure at the National Institutes of Health (NIH). This information is critical to ensure that Congress has access to information necessary to conduct proper oversight,” Paul wrote in a letter to Lawrence Tabak, acting director of the NIH, as reported by the Daily Caller.

Fauci, 81, revealed Monday that he will be concluding his 38 years of service as director of the National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases and his comparatively brief tenure as chief medical adviser to President Joe Biden in December. NIAID operates under NIH.

Deaths of Migrant Children Expose Biden’s Cruelty

/0 Comments/in , /by

The kids drowned in the Rio Grande, trying to cross the river with groups of illegal migrants enticed here by Biden’s implicit promise of permanent US residence once over the border.

That promise underlies every Biden policy on immigration, and it has now engendered a full-blown humanitarian crisis.

The steadily climbing number of migrant deaths at the southern border proves that starkly: 300 in 2019; 247 in 2020 — then a record 566 in 2021, followed by 609 this year just through July. (Read more from “Deaths of Migrant Children Expose Biden’s Cruelty” HERE)

Video Shows Border Agents Calmly Unlocking Gates to Let in Migrants

/0 Comments/in , , /by

A shocking new video shows federal agents calmly unlocking gates at the border to let illegal immigrants stream into the US amid an alarming, record-breaking surge.

Drone video footage obtained by Fox News initially showed more than a dozen unsure-looking immigrants standing behind a locked gate on the Texas border.

Another clip then showed a Border Patrol agent calmly opening the gate, allowing a group of more than 25 border-crossers to stroll in — then locking the gate behind them again.

Texas’ tough Gov. Greg Abbott — who has been shipping border-crossers to Democrat-run safe-haven states and cities, including the Big Apple — was among those expressing outrage at the latest video.

It comes as sources told the same network that 2,001,034 “migrant encounters” have been recorded this year, a new record that dwarfs the 1,277,177 from this time last year. (Read more from “Video Shows Border Agents Calmly Unlocking Gates to Let in Migrants” HERE)

‘In a Body Bag’: GOP Candidate Says He’d Kill FBI Agents if They Tried to Search Home; Republicans Call For Releasing Affidavit Authorizing Mar-a-Lago Raid (VIDEO)

/0 Comments/in , , /by

By Yahoo Sports. A Sarasota candidate for Congress says he would have killed the FBI agents who searched former President Donald Trump’s property if they tried to do the same thing to his home.

“I wish they’d turn up at my home ’cause they’d have gone home in a body bag,” Sarasota businessman Martin Hyde says in a new video.

Hyde is a Republican running for Congress against U.S. Rep. Vern Buchanan, R-Longboat Key. He has been a magnet for controversy, with his campaign imploding after he was caught on camera in February berating a Sarasota police officer and threatening her job during a traffic stop.

It appeared Hyde might drop out of the race, but he paid the qualifying fee and has remained a candidate. His campaign hasn’t attracted much attention since then until now, when Hyde put out the inflammatory video in the closing stretch of the Aug. 23 primary. . .

“When they turned up at Mar-a-Lago and raided the home of President Trump, that was an assault on every one of the 75 million people who voted for Donald Trump, it was a assault on democracy,” Hyde says as the video shows images of police officers, Mar-a-Lago and Trump supporters. “These people would stop at nothing. I wish they’d turn up at my home ’cause they’d have gone home in a body bag.”

House Republicans Call For Releasing Affidavit Authorizing Mar-a-Lago Raid

By New York Post. ​The top Republican on the House Intelligence Committee on Sunday said the affidavit authorizing the FBI raid on former President Donald Trump’s Florida ​home should be released in the interest of transparency — as a GOP colleague said the search warrants heightened scrutiny.

Rep. Mike Turner of Ohio, the ranking Republican on the Intelligence panel, said the court document would provide information “to understand how did the FBI justify raiding Mar-a-Lago.”

“Certainly, the American public wants to make certain this is not an abuse of discretion,” Turner said on CBS News’ “Face the Nation.”​

Rep. Dan Crenshaw of Texas, meanwhile, said the execution of the search warrant ​​​Aug. 8 on Trump’s ​members-only resort in Palm Beach “is a very unprecedented measure” that needs to be looked at more closely.

“When you’re going after an ex-president who may run again — this is automatically political,” Crenshaw said Sunday on CNN’s “State of the Union​.” (Read more from “House Republicans Call For Releasing Affidavit Authorizing Mar-a-Lago Raid” HERE)

/0 Comments/in , , /by

Multiple people are reported dead after two small airplanes collided in mid air as they were attempting to land at the Watsonville Municipal Airport in Santa Cruz, California, Thursday afternoon.

The Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) reported that two people were in a twin-engine Cessna 340 and one person was on-board a single-engine Cessna 152 when the planes crashed into each other, according to KSBW 8. A photo posted by the City of Watsonville showed that one of the planes had also crashed into a hangar.

“Multiple agencies responded to Watsonville Municipal Airport after 2 planes attempting to land collided. We have reports of multiple fatalities,” the city tweeted. “Report came in at 2:56pm. Investigation is underway, updates to follow.”

One person driving by the airport after the crash posted a video of the other plane that ended up in a field after the accident.

Trump Sues FBI Over Mar-a-Lago Raid; Report: Documents Show Biden White House Involvement in Trump Criminal Probe; But Joe Said ’No Advanced Knowledge’!?

/0 Comments/in , /by

By New York Post. Former President Donald Trump filed a motion Monday demanding federal investigators stop going through material seized from his Mar-a-Lago mansion earlier this month until a neutral special master could be appointed to review the records.

The 27-page filing in Florida federal court also asked for the federal government to provide more detail about what was seized in the Aug. 8 raid on the 45th president’s Palm Beach estate and demanded the Justice Department return any item not covered by the search warrant.

“We are now demanding that the Department of ‘Justice’ be instructed to immediately STOP the review of documents illegally seized from my home. ALL documents have been previously declassified,” Trump said in a statement on his Truth Social platform soon after the motion was filed.

The former president went on to call the FBI’s raid an “unnecessary, unwarranted, and unAmerican break-in” that violated his Fourth Amendment rights against unreasonable searches and seizures.

The filing, which is the first by Trump’s side since the raid, suggests the FBI search was politically motivated – calling it a “shockingly aggressive move” that was undertaken with “no understanding of the distress that it would cause most Americans.” (Read more from “Trump Sues FBI Over Mar-a-Lago Raid” HERE)

Report: Documents Show Biden White House Involvement in Trump Criminal Probe; But Joe Said ’No Advanced Knowledge’!?

By Breitbart. President Joe Biden’s White House was intimately involved in the Department of Justice’s (DOJ) criminal probe into former President Donald Trump, according to government documents reviewed by Just The News.

Several correspondences between Trump’s attorneys and members of the Biden administration revealed that the federal government appeared poised to waive Trump’s claims of executive privilege over documents that Trump kept at Mar-a-Lago until earlier this year.

As Just The News reported:

The memos show then-White House Deputy Counsel Jonathan Su was engaged in conversations with the FBI, DOJ and National Archives as early as April, shortly after 15 boxes of classified and other materials were voluntarily returned to the federal historical agency from Trump’s Florida home.

By May, Su conveyed to the Archives that President Joe Biden would not object to waiving his predecessor’s claims to executive privilege, a decision that opened the door for DOJ to get a grand jury to issue a subpoena compelling Trump to turn over any remaining materials he possessed from his presidency.

/0 Comments/in , , /by

A mother in India allegedly sliced off her boyfriend’s penis on Wednesday after he tried to rape her 14-year-old daughter.

“I have no regrets for what I did,” the 36-year-old unnamed mom told the Times of India.

“I was working in the farm when the incident took place. Fortunately, I returned home in the nick of time and caught him red-handed,” she said, explaining the series of events that led to the incident.

“He even attacked me while I was trying to save my daughter, so I brought a knife from the kitchen and chopped off his private parts to teach him a lesson.”

Police told the Times of India that the boyfriend, 32, has been “booked” for rape, but was in critical condition after the mom chopped off his genitals. (Read more from “Mom Chops off Boyfriend’s Penis After He Tried to Rape Her Daughter: Report” HERE)
