Rogue Judge Blocks Trump Admin From Cleaning Up Education Department

/1 Comment/in , /by

The judicial coup from rogue district court judges continues apace, as a far-left federal judge in Massachusetts has blocked the Trump administration from being able to clean up the U.S. Department of Education after decades of waste and abuse.

President Donald Trump promised to diminish, and eventually (with congressional approval) end the department on the campaign trail in 2024. He was elected by the American people in part to do just that — a goal of many for years.

To start fulfilling this, on March 11, Education Secretary Linda McMahon initiated a reduction-in-force (RIF), laying off about 50 percent of department staff, and on March 20, Trump signed an executive order directing McMahon “to the maximum extent appropriate and permitted by law, take all necessary steps to facilitate the closure of the Department of Education.”

Numerous left-wing states, special interests, unions, and school districts — many of which had become comfortable relying on the department as a slush fund for their bad practices — promptly sued the department.

On Thursday, unelected and unaccountable U.S. District Judge Myong J. Joun, an appointee of former President Joe Biden who is already an active participant in the coup via another case, issued an injunction where he appears to believe he has the authority to govern the day-to-day functions of the department.

Trump Announces Deal for U.S. Steel to Remain in America

/1 Comment/in , /by

President Donald Trump on Friday cleared the merger of U.S. Steel and Nippon Steel, after the Japanese steelmaker’s previous bid to acquire its U.S. rival had been blocked on national security grounds.

“This will be a planned partnership between United States Steel and Nippon Steel, which will create at least 70,000 jobs, and add $14 Billion Dollars to the U.S. Economy,” Trump said in a post on his social media platform Truth Social.

U.S. Steel’s headquarters will remain in Pittsburgh and the bulk of the investment will take place over the next 14 months, the president said. U.S. Steel shares surged more than 20% to close at $52.01 per share after Trump’s announcement. (Read more from “Trump Announces Deal for U.S. Steel to Remain in America” HERE)

Federal Investigation Uncovers Disturbing Truth at Columbia University

/1 Comment/in , /by

A Trump administration investigation found that Columbia University violated civil rights law by allowing pro-Hamas agitators to target Jewish students.

The investigation’s findings come amid a wave of leftist protests at college campuses across the country against Israel’s war against Hamas. The conflict ignited antisemitic elements in various parts of the country — particularly in academia. In many instances, pro-Hamas activists have threatened and physically assaulted Jewish students.

In Columbia’s case, the school has come under fire for refusing to take action to protect Jewish students. The investigation accused it of “acting with deliberate indifference towards student-on-student harassment of Jewish students.”

From Axios:

Details: The investigation found that Columbia violated Title VI of the Civil Rights Act of 1964, which protects against discrimination on the basis of race, color, or national origin, per a Thursday statement from the Department of Health and Human Services’ civil-rights office.

Among the findings were that Columbia allegedly failed to “investigate or punish vandalism in its classrooms, which include the repeated drawing of swastikas and other universally recognized hate images.”

No fresh action against Columbia was announced following the investigation findings.

What they’re saying: “The findings carefully document the hostile environment Jewish students at Columbia University have had to endure for over 19 months, disrupting their education, safety, and well-being,” said Anthony Archeval, Acting Director of the Office for Civil Rights at HHS, in a statement.

“We encourage Columbia University to work with us to come to an agreement that reflects meaningful changes that will truly protect Jewish students.”

/0 Comments/in , , /by

An illegal immigrant from Colombia who had been living in the U.S. for decades was finally apprehended after allegedly voting in several U.S. elections and fraudulently collecting government benefits.

According to a federal indictment, Lina Maria Orovio-Hernandez was a Federal Grand Jury indicted for illegal national status after discovering she had been living in the U.S. unlawfully under a stolen identity and receiving at least $400,000 in rental assistance, Social Security, and food stamp benefits. She also allegedly obtained nine state IDs, including a Massachusetts Real ID, and applied for a U.S. passport.

Orovio-Hernandez has been accused of using a stolen identity to fraudulently register to vote in January 2023 and illegally cast a ballot in the November 2024 presidential election. She was captured on surveillance camera at a bank wearing an “I voted” sticker on Nov. 5, 2024, Election Day. Orovio-Hernandez is accused of illegally receiving around $400,000 in federal benefits, including over $259,000 in Section 8 housing aid, more than $101,000 in Social Security disability payments, and about $43,000 in food assistance, all over a span of several years.

U.S. Attorney Leah Foley emphasized that the illegal immigrant’s actions undermine the rights and support systems designed for American citizens and legal residents, calling the alleged crimes an insult to those who follow the law. She vowed that her office would continue to pursue and prosecute those who exploit the system.

Judge Temporarily Halts Trump Block on Foreign Students at Harvard

/0 Comments/in , /by

A judge temporarily suspended Friday the Trump administration’s move to block Harvard from enrolling and hosting foreign students after the prestigious university sued, calling the action unconstitutional.

On Thursday, Homeland Security Secretary Kristi Noem revoked Harvard University’s ability to enroll foreign nationals, throwing the future of thousands of students and the lucrative income stream they provide into doubt.

But Harvard sued, and Massachusetts district judge Allison Burroughs ordered that “The Trump administration is hereby enjoined from implementing… the revocation of Plaintiff’s SEVP (Student and Exchange Visitor Program) certification.”

There will be an injunction hearing on May 29, a court filing showed. (Read more from “Judge Temporarily Halts Trump Block on Foreign Students at Harvard” HERE)

Kamala Harris Called Anderson Cooper a ‘Motherf—er’ After Tense Interview on Biden’s Debate Meltdown: Bombshell Book

/0 Comments/in , /by

Former Vice President Kamala Harris blasted Anderson Cooper as a “motherf–ker” to colleagues following a tense interview over former President Joe Biden’s catastrophic debate performance against Donald Trump last year, a bombshell new book revealed.

The then-veep unleashed the disparaging remark after the CNN host grilled her on Biden’s cognitive health immediately following his disastrous showing in June — that ignited widespread panic and ultimately led to the octogenarian dropping out of the race.

“This motherf–ker doesn’t treat me like the damn vice president of the United States, she said to colleagues,” according to the new book “Original Sin,” co-authored by Anderson’s CNN colleague Jake Tapper and Alex Thompson.

“I thought we were better than that.”

Harris, who was encouraged by her aides to cancel all post-debate interviews after her boss appeared frail and stone-faced, often losing his train of thought while going toe-to-toe with Trump, downplayed concerns from her party when she appeared on CNN.

Cooper spoke of Democrats describing “panic” over Biden’s “disaster” or “train wreck” of a debate. He questioned if the president should step aside. (Read more from “Kamala Harris Called Anderson Cooper a ‘Motherf—er’ After Tense Interview on Biden’s Debate Meltdown: Bombshell Book” HERE)

RFK Jr. Says Studies to Find Root Cause of Autism May Be Completed by March

/0 Comments/in , /by

Studies to help determine the root cause of autism are expected to be completed around March, Robert F. Kennedy Jr. said during a recent interview as his federal agency leads the effort in Making America Healthy Again (MAHA).

During an interview on The Source with Kaitlan Collins, Kennedy explained that some studies will be totally completed by September.

“And those studies will mainly be replication studies of studies that have already been done. We’re also deploying new teams of scientists, 15 groups of scientists. We’re going to send those grants out to bid within three weeks,” he explained, noting that other studies will be completed six months after September, which would be March.

“As I said, we’re going to begin to have a lot of information by September. We’re not going to stop the studies in September. We’re going to be definitive. And the more definitive you are, the more it drives public policy,” he continued.

In April Kennedy promised to get to the root of the autism epidemic, citing the stunning data from the U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) showing that 1 in 31 children in the United States have autism. That reflects yet another rise in what Kennedy has described as an “epidemic.” (Read more from “RFK Jr. Says Studies to Find Root Cause of Autism May Be Completed by March” HERE)

Christian Israeli Diplomat Murdered in D.C. Hailed Trump’s ‘Legacy’ of Peace, Creating ‘More Secure’ World; The New Details About the Israeli Embassy Staffers’ Assassinations Are Horrifying

/75 Comments/in , , /by

By Breitbart. The Christian Israeli embassy staffer gunned down alongside his almost-fiancée in a terror attack outside the Capital Jewish Museum had long praised President Donald Trump’s leadership — both abroad and at home — as a blueprint for peace and strength, highlighting his refusal to start new wars and crediting him with preserving peace and making “the international system more secure” by confronting threats like Iran, China, and ISIS.

On Wednesday night, Yaron Lischinsky and his soon-to-be fiancée, Sarah Milgrim, were shot and killed by a gunman reportedly yelling “Free Palestine” before opening fire on attendees of a pro-Israel event in Washington, D.C. The killing is being investigated as a targeted act of terrorism motivated by antisemitic hatred.

President Trump said the killings, rooted in antisemitism, “must end, NOW!”

“Hatred and Radicalism have no place in the USA,” he added.

Lischinsky, a Christian who worked in the political department of the Israeli Embassy in Washington, had been a passionate advocate for peace through deterrence and moral clarity.

The New Details About the Israeli Embassy Staffers’ Assassinations Are Horrifying

By Townhall. Yaron Lischinsky and Sarah Milgrim were gunned down by Elias Rodriguez at the Capital Jewish Museum in Washington, DC, on Wednesday night. It was a political assassination. The pair were also a couple, set to be engaged before being cut down by a rabid antisemite. Rodriguez chanted, “Free, free Palestine,” as he was taken into custody by police. This senseless act of violence was already heinous, but a new affidavit sheds new light on the brutality of this attack. Rodrguez fired a total of 21 shots. Ms. Milgram tried to crawl away, and Rodriguez followed and continued to shoot her. Jennifer Van Laar at RedState highlighted the key passage:

In summary, the video shows a slim build person, wearing a blue jacket with a hood, a large dark-colored backpack, blue pants, and light-colored shoes, consistent with the clothing worn by RODRIGUEZ, walking across F Street, Northwest, in the direction of the Museum and where the decedents were standing preparing to enter the crosswalk. Once RODRIGUEZ walked past the decedents and two witnesses, he turned to face their backs and brandished a firearm from the area of his waistband. RODRIGUEZ is captured on the video extending both his arms in the direction of the decedents and firing several times as indicated by the muzzle flashes.

Once the decedents fell to the ground, RODRIGUEZ is captured on the video advancing closer to the decedents, leaning over them with his arm extended, and firing several more times. As Decedent-1 attempted to crawl away from RODRIGUEZ, he followed behind her and fired again. After a brief moment, RODRIGUEZ appeared to reload his firearm. At the same time, Decedent-1 sat up. Once he reloaded, RODRIGUEZ fired several times at Decedent-1. RODRIGUEZ is then captured jogging back in the direction of 3rd Street, NW, and southbound in the direction of where the entrance to the Museum is located.

Veteran Journalist Gets Hammered for Continuing to Deny Biden’s Decline Despite Damning New Reports

/4 Comments/in , /by

A veteran journalist is getting mocked and ridiculed on social media after he continued to suggest that former President Joe Biden had not suffered mental deterioration at the end of his presidency.

The debate over Biden’s mental diminishment was sparked by a new book from Jake Tapper documenting statements from close advisers and staffers who watched his decline firsthand.

John Harwood registered his skepticism against those reports on social media in a sarcastic missive.

“Oddly, the declining 81-year-old managed to win major climate, infrastructure, and chip investments, rally allies to defend Ukraine, and hand his successor the world’s strongest post-pandemic economy,” wrote the 68-year-old.

‘Was it because, as the Original Sin authors write, ‘Biden on a day-in, day-out basis could certainly make decisions and assert wisdom and act as President’?” he added, referring to Tapper’s book co-written with Alex Thompson.

Biden’s LGBT Envoy Was Slammed For ‘Inappropriate’ Travel Spending, Emails Show

/0 Comments/in , /by

The Biden administration’s global ambassador for all things LGBT was a travel diva with no regard for cost, who even got smacked down for “inappropriate” spending requests as she traveled on the government dime, according to a batched of emails obtained by The Daily Wire.

The emails show that Jessica Stern, the Biden State Department’s Special Envoy to Advance the Human Rights of Lesbian, Gay, Bisexual, Transgender, Queer, and Intersex Persons, failed to report travel expenses on time, requested a costly car for a week in Rome, and berated staff for missing vegetarian meals on her flights as she jetted around the world pushing far-left ideology, according to a batch of emails obtained by The Daily Wire.

Stern raked in $180,000 a year as her state-sanctioned LGBT activism took her to all six habitable continents, with stops in places like Fiji and Brazil, where she traveled on the taxpayer dime to march alongside a “transvestite sl*t,” a previous Daily Wire exposé found.

Documents reviewed by The Daily Wire, obtained by the Center to Advance Security in America (CASA) show that Stern, who left her post after President Donald Trump’s re-election, failed to even report her travel expenses on time. The envoy, who said in her emails that she identifies with “all pronouns,” even admitted that she didn’t know where she would find her expenses after a State Department official asked for her accounting.

“We are still waiting on last year’s accounting for travel from your office … before approving further travel,” wrote a State Department official whose name is redacted in October 2022. “We have every other office except yours. I have asked several times and no one has provided. Please do so as soon as possible.” (Read more from “Biden’s LGBT Envoy Was Slammed For ‘Inappropriate’ Travel Spending, Emails Show” HERE)
