Church Plans Homeless Shelter, so Government Responds With Plan to Confiscate the Property

A church in Toms River, New Jersey, with plenty of space as it owns 10 acres of land, proposed building a 17-bed overnight shelter as a way to reach out to the needy and help the community.

So officials in the town retaliated with their own plan to confiscate the land and turn it into pickleball courts.

“It is clear that this is being done in retaliation for the church making an application for a homeless shelter,” Harvey York, the church’s lawyer, told Fox News.

Citing the constitutional standards regarding protections for freedom religion as well as the federal Religious Land Use and Institutionalized Persons Act, he said, “I don’t know that you’ll find a lawyer who will say, ‘Oh, yeah, they have every right to do this; they’re going to win.'”

It is the Christ Episcopal Church that has found itself in the middle of the city’s bull’s-eye.

And York said while some residents are happy with the idea, “the majority” is shocked and dismayed.

GOP-Appointed University of Florida Trustees Vote on DEI Booster for President Today

Trustees of Florida’s flagship public university vote today on whether to reverse their institution’s nascent success by selecting an identity-politics booster to replace former University of Florida President Ben Sasse.

Sasse’s UF presidency was key to the Florida legislature and Gov. Ron DeSantis’ efforts at reforming higher education away from leftist indoctrination and towards an academics-focused core curriculum. States including Utah, Texas, and Oklahoma have used Florida’s education reforms as a model for their own.

Yet UF trustees will vote Tuesday on a candidate to replace Sasse likely to undo all he and state lawmakers have accomplished to increase the university’s profile, improve its stewardship of public resources, lead the nation in education reform, and remove identity politics corruption. Although the university search committee promised it would “recommend a small number of highly qualified candidates to the UF Board of Trustees,” it ultimately only recommended one finalist, Santa Ono, whose professional record teems with identity politics activism.

On Saturday, journalist Chris Rufo posted a supercut of Ono’s public pledges of allegiance to race and sex discrimination throughout his career.

The Canadian-born Ono was president of the University of Cincinnati from 2012 to 2016, president of the University of British Columbia from 2016 to 2022, and then president of the University of Michigan from 2022 to May 2025.

Star Business Professor Stripped of Tenure, Fired for Manipulating Data in Studies on Dishonesty

A renowned Harvard University professor was stripped of her tenure and fired after an investigation found she fabricated data on multiple studies focused on dishonesty.

Francesca Gino, a celebrated behavioral scientist at Harvard Business School, was let go after the school’s top governing board determined she tweaked observations in four studies so that their findings boosted her hypotheses, GHB reported.

Harvard administrators notified business faculty that Gino was out of a job in a closed-door meeting this past week, the outlet reported.

Harvard did not detail the professor’s firing or tenure being stripped — citing it as a personnel matter — but told GHB that the school had not revoked a professor’s tenure in decades.

No professors have had their tenure revoked at Harvard since the 1940s, when the American Association of University Professors formalized termination rules, according to The Harvard Crimson.

Trump to Yank All Remaining Federal Funds to Harvard in Latest Blow to ‘Very Antisemitic’ Ivy League School

The Trump administration is planning to cancel all remaining federal contracts with Harvard University — a day after the president said he was pulling $3 billion in grants from the “very antisemitic” Ivy League school.

The fresh cuts — worth roughly $100 million — are detailed in a memo that will be fired off to all federal agencies early Tuesday, according to a copy of the letter obtained by The Post.

The letter, signed by the US General Services Administration, orders the agencies to start providing a list of contracts that will need to be canned.

It also instructs the agencies to “seek alternative vendors for future services where you had previously considered Harvard.”

The letter, in part, blames the move on Harvard’s inaction to crackdown on antisemitism on campus, as well as alleged “race discrimination” in its admission process. (Read more from “Trump to Yank All Remaining Federal Funds to Harvard in Latest Blow to ‘Very Antisemitic’ Ivy League School” HERE)

Pro-life Groups Press US Attorney Jeanine Pirro to Investigate Late-Term Abortions

A coalition of nine pro-life organizations led by Advancing American Freedom sent a letter on Tuesday to interim U.S. Attorney for the District of Columbia Jeanine Pirro pressing her to investigate the suspected infanticide of five babies at the hands of a Washington, D.C., abortionist.

Members of the Progressive Anti-Abortion Uprising recovered the tiny victims, often referred to as the “D.C. Five,” from late-term abortionist Cesare Santangelo’s Washington, D.C., facility.

The 2022 discovery of the preemie-sized dead babies, which were held at PAAU Director of Activism Lauren Handy’s house, should have prompted an investigation into “possible violations of the Partial-Birth Abortion Act and the Born-Alive Infant Protection Act.” Instead, the letter notes, “the Biden Administration worked to sweep the allegations under the rug and silence the individuals involved by prosecuting them.”

It was under Biden’s Department of Justice that Handy and nine other advocates for life were charged with allegedly violating the unconstitutional Freedom of Access to Clinic Entrances (FACE) Act and participating in a Conspiracy Against Rights. The defendants faced up to 11 years in federal prison, an extreme expansion of the punishment other pro-lifers faced.

Trump eventually pardoned 23 of the pro-lifers targeted by the Democrat regime for their peaceful opposition to abortion, including Handy and her fellow PAAU activists. Damage to the D.C. Five’s chance at justice, however, was already done. (Read more from “Pro-life Groups Press US Attorney Jeanine Pirro to Investigate Late-Term Abortions” HERE)

Commentator: I’d Rather Have a Braindead Biden in Charge Than Trump

Well, at least he’s consistent, but that’s not saying much about Sam Harris. The noted commentator admitted that his Trump derangement syndrome is so deep that he’d rather have a braindead Biden in office than Donald J. Trump. Okay, let’s be clearer: He’d rather have a committee running the country while Biden is in a coma. That’s not democracy; that’s a coup. When the executive function is lost, we know the line of succession here—it goes to the vice president, Kamala, which means Trump still wins. But let’s not get into that silliness. We won the election. Nothing else needs to be said. He also said he fell for the Biden White House’s spin and that Biden was mentally sharp.

Here Are the ‘Politburo’ Members Who Were Really Running the Biden White House, According to ‘Original Sin’ Authors

A small, tight-knit group in former President Joe Biden’s inner circle was running the White House like a “politburo,” and they were the “ultimate decision-makers” as Biden’s health and cognitive function continued to decline, according to the authors of a bombshell new book.

This group, dubbed the “politburo,” included a coterie of seasoned political veterans, including Mike Donilon, Steve Ricchetti and Bruce Reed — but also family members such as first lady Jill Biden and the president’s son Hunter, the authors of “Original Sin” claim.

“In terms of who was running the White House, it’s a small group of people that have been around,” “Original Sin” author Alex Thompson told PBS’ “Washington Week” on Friday. “Some people within the administration called them the Politburo. That’s the term we used in the book.”

Former White House chief of staff Ron Klain was at times part of the “politburo,” as was former senior adviser to the president Annie Tomasini. Also on the “politburo” was the first lady’s former top adviser and “work husband,” Anthony Bernal, whom The Post previously reported created a toxic workplace environment.

“And Joe Biden himself also is part of this. Joe Biden is not like — it’s not ‘Weekend at Bernie’s,’ right?” said co-author and CNN anchor Jake Tapper, referring to the movie about a dead guy who is wheeled around as part of an elaborate ruse.

Trump Slams Putin Over Deadly Ukraine Strikes: ‘I Don’t Know What the Hell Happened to Putin’

By Fox News. President Donald Trump delivered a rebuke of Russian President Vladimir Putin on Sunday, saying he was “not happy” about Moscow’s deadly missile strikes across Ukraine that left several dead, including three children, and others wounded. Despite Trump talking up Ukraine and Russia being on the cusp of a peace deal, his latest comments mark a clear condemnation of Putin’s aggression and one that suggests Russia is not ready to end the war.

While speaking to reporters at Morristown Municipal Airport in New Jersey, Trump accused Putin of “killing a lot of people” in the attack, which was launched on Sunday afternoon.

“I don’t know what the hell happened to Putin,” Trump said, adding that he is not pleased with what the Russian President is doing.

“I’ve known him a long time, always gotten along with him, but he’s sending rockets into cities and killing people, and I don’t like it at all,” the president added.

On Sunday, Russia launched drone and missile attacks in Kyiv and other Ukrainian cities that resulted in 12 people dead and more critically injured. As a result, Trump suggested he would consider more sanctions against Moscow. (Read more from “Trump Slams Putin Over Deadly Ukraine Strikes: ‘I Don’t Know What the Hell Happened to Putin’” HERE)

DOJ Can Dig Up Even More Evidence US Taxpayers Funded Lab Creation of COVID-19

Employees at the National Institutes of Health (NIH) walked out as their new boss, Dr. Jay Bhattacharya, spoke this week on truths that remain to be sought out about Covid-19. As a lead on the October 2020 Great Barrington Declaration that sought to shift sweeping societal shutdowns to “focused protection” on the vulnerable, Bhattacharya is no newcomer to speaking the truth about Covid or being vilified for doing so. Fortunately, an unheralded investigation by the Department of Justice of an obscure nonprofit company has the potential to reveal five years of hidden truths.

Bhattacharya’s words that sparked the walkout were straightforward: “It’s possible that the pandemic was caused by research conducted by human beings, and it’s also possible that the NIH partly sponsored that research.” Seeking the possible amongst the plausible is the backbone of the scientific approach. In the case of the Wuhan lab leak theory, “possible” looks increasingly “plausible” as more evidence slowly — and as the NIH walkout demonstrates —grudgingly comes to light.

The possibility of long-delayed revelation lies in an ongoing DOJ investigation involving EcoHealth Alliance. Both the House of Representatives Select Subcommittee on Covid-19’s 500-page pandemic report and the recently published book, In Covid’s Wake: How Our Politics Failed Us, by Stephen Macedo and Frances Lee repeatedly put EcoHealth Alliance at the crossroads of pandemic controversy — from funding, to research, to reporting on the virus’s origins and the CCP’s initial efforts to combat the pandemic.

The press release accompanying the subcommittee’s report states: Covid-19 “most likely emerged from a laboratory in Wuhan, China,” that “a lab-related incident involving gain-of-function research is most likely the origin of COVID-19,” that EcoHealth “under the leadership of Dr. Peter Daszak used U.S. taxpayer dollars to facilitate dangerous gain-of-function research in Wuhan,” and that NIH contributed to the catastrophe with “procedures for funding and overseeing potentially dangerous research” which are “deficient, unreliable, and pose a serious threat to both public health and national security.” (Read more from “DOJ Can Dig Up Even More Evidence US Taxpayers Funded Lab Creation of COVID-19” HERE)

Viral Video of Biden Wearing Trump Hat Reportedly Left Kamala Harris Fuming

Former Vice President Kamala Harris was angry over former President Biden donning a Trump 2024 hat during an event in September 2024, which quickly went viral on social media at the time, according to Jake Tapper and Alex Thompson’s new book.

“What is he doing?” the former vice president asked her team in response to the video, according to the book. “This is completely unhelpful. And so unnecessary.”

A video of the former president donning a Trump 2024 hat went viral in September 2024. A video of Biden at the Shanksville Fire Station in Pennsylvania showed the president taking the Trump 2024 campaign hat from a Trump supporter and putting it on top of his own hat, in what the White House said at the time was a friendly gesture of unity.

According to the book, “Original Sin: President Biden’s Decline, Its Cover-up, and His Disastrous Choice to Run Again,” that was the last time Harris would do a public event with Biden prior to the election.

“But it was not the last time that Biden did something unhelpful,” the authors wrote.

The former president also called Trump supporters “garbage” during a campaign call for Harris. (Read more from “Viral Video of Biden Wearing Trump Hat Reportedly Left Kamala Harris Fuming” HERE)
