The Gateway Pundit reported that the Biden regime proudly announced that women will be forced to allow men in their locker rooms and bathrooms with a new 1577-page Title IX ruling.
Because the Biden Regime won’t do it, lawmakers in states throughout the country have been stepping up to protect women and girls.
In Ohio, the Ohio House Higher Education Committee passed House Bill 183 , which mandates that Ohio K-12 schools and colleges enforce bathroom and locker room usage based on students’ sex assigned at birth.
The Ohio Capital-Journal reports:
State Reps. Beth Lear, R-Galena, and Adam Bird, R-New Richmond, introduced House Bill 183 which would require Ohio K-12 schools and colleges to mandate that students could only use the bathroom or locker room that matches their sex assigned at birth. It would also prohibit schools from allowing students to share overnight accommodations with the opposite sex.
HB 183 now awaits further consideration in the House, which is next scheduled to be in session April 24.
Proponents argue that HB 183 addresses safety concerns, while critics contend it discriminates against transgender individuals. State Rep. Gayle Manning expressed hope for further discussions on the bill but ultimately voted in favor, citing concerns over potential legal liabilities and rising tuition costs in higher education institutions.
Biden’s dismantling of Title IX, meant to protect women and girls in sports, means women will be forced to compete against men annd women will be forced to accept men on their sports teams.
Women and young girls will be forced to share locker rooms and bathrooms based on gender identity rather than biological sex.
Young girls everywhere will be subject to the type of sexual exposure allegedly faced by the female athletes forced to share a locker room with trans swimmer Lia Thomas.
Preferred pronouns are also now mandated, and even the single use of the “wrong” pronoun can require discipline.
And, as May Mailman, Director of Independent Women’s Law Center, notes, Title IX is not a college law. This will impact girls as young as those in the Headstart program, geared to children from three to five years old, those in daycare, and those in Kindergarten through 12th grade.
Other states stepping up to protect women and girls is Florida.
Florida Governor Ron DeSantis had strong words for Biden and his attack on women, “We will not comply.”
“Florida rejects Joe Biden’s attempt to rewrite Title IX. We will not comply, and we will fight back.”
“We are not going to let Joe Biden undermine the rights of parents. And we are not going to let Joe Biden abuse his Constitutional authority to try to impose these policies on us here in Florida. We stand with opportunities; we are not going to let Biden get away with it.”
Oklahoma State Superintendent of Public Instruction Ryan Walters condemned Biden’s recent rewrite of Title IX, labeling it as “radical and illegal” and a direct assault on the rights of states, families, and specifically young women and girls.
Walters made it clear that Oklahoma does not intend to comply with the unconstitutional federal mandate.
“President Biden deciding to rewrite Title IX is one of the most radical and illegal moves we’ve ever seen from the federal government. It’s an attack on our states. It’s an attack on our families. And it’s an attack on our young women and girls. We will not stand for this in Oklahoma,” Walters.
In addition to Florida and Oklahoma, other states that have taken steps to protect single-sex spaces include Utah, and Alabama.

Pro-Hamas agitators at UVA were petulant when police arrived to remove their tantrum encampment.
As police entered the area, the protestors taunted police as they hysterically shrieked, “UPD, KKK, IDF, you’re all the same,” likening the police to the Ku Klux Klan and Israel Defense Forces.
Virginia State Police were dispatched to campus to remove the Hamas cheerleaders from their encampment, which, according to University officials, violates school policy.
When the agitators refused to dismantle tents and leave, officers in full riot gear began spraying pepper spray.
Although reports at first suggested tear gas was used, Virginia State Police said, NO law enforcement in Virginia have or deploy tear gas, by its defined chemical composition.”

According to University officials, the encampment is in violation of a policy. While officials expressed support for peaceful protests on the UVA campus, they do not allow setting up tents and prohibit the use of electronically amplified sound, which includes electric megaphones.
The nasty chants can be clearly heard coming from a banned megaphone.
UVA officials said in a statement on Tuesday, “UVA has seen an increase in peaceful expressive activity on our Grounds this year in response to the ongoing Middle East conflict. As an institution committed to free expression and the open exchange of ideas, we strive to ensure these activities can take place safely, and in a manner that permits all parties to make their voices heard.”
“The University is prohibited by the Constitution and our own values from restricting speech based on its content, even in cases where the content is hurtful or offensive,” the school said. “We do, however, enforce reasonable restrictions on the time, place, and manner of expressive activities, so as to assure the safety of our community and to avoid disruption to University life or the rights of others. As we become aware of planned expressive activities, University officials engage with organizers to inform them of these policies.”
The policy regarding tents specifically states:
Although students are whining and whinging about “a sudden change” in the policy, Daily Progress reporter Jason Armesto reports that the ban on tents has been communicated to students dozens of times over the past few days and “Chief Longo and student affairs have both communicated it to protestors, ‘In any interaction with folks down there this has come up.'”
UVA says there has been no ambiguity about the policy.
“This has ben communicated to them dozens of times over past few days.”Say Chief Longo and student affairs have both communicated it to protestors. “In any interaction with folks down there this has come up.”

In April, Joe Biden unilaterally canceled another $7.4 billion in student loan debt in his latest vote-buying gimmick ahead of the 2024 election.
“Today, President Biden announced that 277,000 more Americans will get their student debt canceled, bringing the total debt relief approved by the Biden-Harris Administration to $153 billion for 4.3 million Americans through various actions,” the White House announced at the time.
Biden has used a series of workarounds to circumvent the Supreme Court’s decision to strike down his student loan bailout program.
On Friday night’s panel discussion on “Real Time,” host Bill Maher was joined by Fox News contributor Kellyanne Conway and Bloomberg Businessweek correspondent Joshua Green.
During a discussion of the anti-Israel protests raging on college campuses across the country, Maher said he gets “so incensed” at how many of the students participating receive federal aid.
“I’m so incensed about some of this stuff because when I read about the college loans… Biden administration’s student debt cancellation will cost a combined 870 billion to 1.4 trillion.”
“So colleges constantly raise tuition, then the kids take out more loans, then the government comes by and pays those loans. Okay, so my tax dollars are supporting this Jew-hating? I don’t think so.”
Conway said the student loan handout was unfair, telling Maher, “You can’t have plumbers and pipefitters playing for the student loans of doctors and lawyers.”
She continued, “I’m all for the government trying to help people who need it, but he did that as a political play and everybody knows it. He’s bleeding young people support.”
“And it hasn’t worked,” Green added. “If you look at issues that young people care about, Gaza is like 15th out of 16th. And the only thing that comes in lower than Gaza is student loan forgiveness. So it hasn’t worked as a motivator for the youth vote, you know, half of which are out there chanting ‘Genocide Joe.’ So it’s backfired not just in terms of public policy, but in terms of the politics, too.”
“Yeah, I mean, Trump is winning the youth vote by I think 11 points, that’s pretty astounding to me,” Maher said, referring to a recent CNN poll.
Watch:
NEW: Bill Maher says he is “incensed” that his tax dollars are going towards paying off the student loans of “Jew hating” students.
All this criticism of Biden and he will still vote for him.

The radical anti-Israel protests happening on college campuses across the country have been brutal for the Biden Regime.
Joe Scarborough recently shared his fear that these displays are going to help elect President Trump. He even called the progressives in his audience who don’t see the impact this is having on the electorate ‘stupid.’
James Carville cursed at young voters, saying, “If they get ahold, there will be no government left, no rights left, you will live under a theocracy, you’ll end up with Christian Nationalism. But that’s all right you little f’ing 26-year-old, you don’t feel like the election is important.”
Leftists have a reason to be concerned.
In an interview with Sky News, a student at UCLA, shared that while he had been intending to vote for Joe Biden only a few weeks ago, he now said he is “certainly not’ voting for him now.
He added that he believes very few people in the encampment are going to vote for Joe Biden in November.
UCLA was the scene of violent clashes on campus on Tuesday night between protesters.
Interviewer: If I was to ask you two weeks ago before this encampment was formed, before you were part of this, if I was to ask you two weeks ago, who would you vote for in November, what would you have told me?
Student: Joe Biden.
Interviewer: And what do you say now?
Student: Now, I’m certainly not voting for Joe Biden.
I’ll probably vote for either Jill Stein or Cornel West. He was part of the People’s Party, and then he left the People’s Party. Jill Stein is part of the Green Party.
I think very few people in the encampment are going to vote for Joe Biden in November. I think beforehand, and maybe before October seventh, this consensus among the progressive left was generally, Joe Biden is the lesser of two evils. He is a, he’s neoliberal. He’s not very progressive, but he’s the best that we can get.
Since October 7, and especially since over the past couple of days, what has become abundantly clear is that he does not actually care about his base.
He does not actually care about the people of Gaza or the people of the West Bank. And so even just checking that box next to Joe Biden’s name, it’s too much to ask of anybody, even if the alternative is worse. I think the best that we can hope for is that somebody who actually cares who cares about humanity, who actually cares about… Honestly, somebody who actually cares about the American people as well is actually elected to office.

A new report suggests that risk of getting COVID rises with each shot an individual takes, according to a new study.
The report comes from an analysis of data from Cleveland Clinic that found people who received two or more doses were at higher risk of COVID-19 based on a comparison was against “people who received zero or one dose of a vaccine.”
The researchers said in the paper, “The exact reason for this finding is not clear. It is possible that this may be related to the fact that vaccine-induced immunity is weaker and less durable than natural immunity. So, although somewhat protective in the short term, vaccination may increase the risk of future infection.”
The risk of contracting COVID-19 was 1.5 times higher for those who received two doses, 1.95 times higher for those who received three doses, and 2.5 times higher for those who received more than three doses, the researchers found. The higher risk was compared to people who received zero or one dose of a vaccine.
The work of Dr. Naabin Shrestha and others was used in the report and found, “The risk of contracting COVID-19 was 1.5 times higher for those who received two doses, 1.95 times higher for those who received three doses, and 2.5 times higher for those who received three or more doses.”
Even after adjusting for variables, the elevated risk remained.
“The exact reason for this finding is not clear. It is possible that this may be related to the fact that vaccine-induced immunity is weaker and less durable than natural immunity. So, although somewhat protective in the short term, vaccination may increase risk of future infection,” the researchers said in the paper, which was released as a preprint.
The latest study comes after the news that the U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) officials found evidence that the Pfizer-BioNTech and Moderna COVID-19 vaccines caused multiple deaths before claiming that there was no evidence linking the vaccines to any deaths.
According to the documents obtained by The Epoch Times, CDC employees conducted investigations into reported post-vaccination deaths, particularly focusing on cases involving myocarditis, a known side effect of the Pfizer-BioNTech and Moderna COVID-19 vaccines.

Mr. Wonderful, Kevin O’Leary, joined Fox & Friends Weekend and shared bad news for the terrorist apologist protestors throwing tantrums on college campuses across the nation.
He warned that high-tech AI is capturing everyone, and their behavior will “come back to haunt you.”
Pete Hegseth: Anarchy on college campuses continuing through the weekend with student activists pushing their pro-Hamas sentiments. And now, Shark Tank’s Kevin O’Leary is sounding off with a word of caution for those agitators. O’Leary warning that student protesters are’ trashing their job chances,’ adding them when it comes to their futures, ‘they are screwed.’ Shark Tank investor and O’Leary Ventures’ chair, Kevin O’Leary, is here with us now.
Kevin, thanks for being here. Why are they screwed? Is it because a lot of them are wearing masks, they’re trying to hide their identity. Do you think that’ll work?
Kevin O’Leary: It used to work back in the ’60s and ’70s because it was only recorded on 16-millimeter film. Today, all of this video security cameras are at a 1080p and 4K resolution. Extremely high resolution that allows you to use AI protocols to identify people by the iris or just a partial exposure of the face.
Do you ever wonder how they captured every single person that marched on the hill in the insurgents? Now, whether they were arrested or not didn’t matter, but every single individual on that hill eventually was identified using this AI technology today, it’s very available. It’s inexpensive.
And I use it as an employer every time we have a candidate in the executive suite. We do a deep dive and we find out where you came… We’re looking for what you say on your resume matching your reality of your life.
Obviously, I don’t care what side you’re on in the protest, but if you’re fighting police, burning flags, wrecking properties, breaking in, breaking through windows, I’m going to know that. And so is the government, so is everybody else. So think about that. That’s all I’m telling these young people.
Think about it because it’s not free.
Pete Hegseth:Do you think they’re thinking about it or do they think this will pay off? I mean, everything in their incentive structure, Kevin, in academia says become an activist, agitate. That’s what their universities are telling them to do. Wouldn’t they want their best opportunities in mind?
Kevin O’Leary: Well, universities and the concept of tenor for professors is allowing people with different thoughts and ideas to flourish. That’s what our institutions are all about. But I’m just going back to a simple fact. When you break the law of the land, you become a criminal.
If you think by putting a mask on or wearing sunglasses is going to protect you, it doesn’t. That’s all I’m telling you. I think when you’re in your 20s, you’re very passionate, and Everybody get that and everybody goes through that process. But think about it. Think about what happens next. In 10 years, why didn’t you get that job? Why didn’t you get on that board? Why can’t you get a loan?
I’m telling you why right now, because I saw you do it, and you lied to me on your resume that you never broke the law. Well, you did. Whether you get caught or not doesn’t matter to me as an employer. That’s why you should really think this through. I teach this in colleges now. The world has changed because we have AI and we’ve got high-resolution imagery, and it’s being captured every day, and it goes on the dark web within 48 hours. I can see it anytime I want.

On Wednesday morning, The Gateway Pundit reported on the heroic University of North Carolina fraternity brothers who protected a fallen American flag from a pro-Hamas mob despite a violent onslaught from the radicals.
Their patriotic actions inspired Americans across the country.
A GoFundMe was started with the modest goal of throwing these young men an ‘epic rager.’
But their actions resonated so profoundly with their fellow Americans that that goal was epically surpassed. The fundraiser raised more than $500,000 in 24 hours.
Country music legend John Rich announced his plans to join the brothers for the upcoming party dubbed ‘Flagstock.’
Rich shared, “I just wanted to give you a little update on the free concert offer I made to the folks at UNC, to those students for their bravery and their patriotism by not allowing our United States flag to hit the ground.”
“They stood there while they were being hit with bottles, and rocks, and sticks, and they just stood there. They did not let Old Glory touch the ground.”
“So we are going to find a date to do this show, we are calling it ‘Flagstock.’ I’ll keep you posted.”

An update on the GoFundMe page shares, “We have been overwhelmed by the sheer force of patriotism on display here. What started as a modest request to buy a few kegs for some great young guys has ballooned into an American cultural moment, with millions of people paying attention: blue and red, left and right, all of the above.”
“First, people should understand that we organized this fundraiser independently. That has been misreported by certain press outlets. We aren’t brothers ourselves: just Americans who admire young people like the men of UNC fraternities — members from at least eight different houses, by our count, many of whom we’ve now met.”
The organizer also shared that funds will be distributed to multiple fraternities involved in protecting Old Glory from protestors to support charitable causes “that are consistent with the fundraiser’s patriotic theme.”
The willingness of these young men to stand up to the destructive forces has been echoed on college campuses across the country.
Thursday afternoon at Ole Miss, HUNDREDS of male students gathered at the Pro-Hamas camp and began singing the National Anthem.
Pro-America students at LSU drowned out pro-Hamas protesters with chants of “USA! USA!”
Even students in liberal New Jersey at Rutgers University have had enough of the terrorist apologists as students countered the anti-Israel agitators on campus and waved the American flag, chanting, ‘USA! USA!’
In a twist no one was expecting, patriots rallied at the liberal hotbed of The University of Chicago.

John Rourke, a veteran and the CEO of Blue Line Moving, has stepped forward to help the citizens of East Palestine, Ohio, something the Biden Regime does not seem eager or willing to do.
Rourke has pledged to bring a water filtration system unit to every single home in East Palestine after the ecological disaster that struck the small town.
Rourke is working with Sentryh20 , and the company is donating the 2000 systems needed to help the community.
It took Biden a year to visit the community where a Norfolk Southern train derailed near the Ohio border with Pennsylvania.
During his February 2024 visit, Biden was greeted by angry protestors.
Rourke joined Daniel Baldwin on OANN to discuss the motivation and details of his remarkable pledge telling Baldwin, “The reason why I want to do this is because I am just tired of people not putting America first and Americans first.”
He told The Gateway Pundit, “This Country needs to start putting Americans first. We have to worry about East Palestine more than Palestine.”

In January, Rourke partnered with Big Dog Ranch Rescue and other rescue organizations to travel to Colony Ridge in Texas, an area is a sprawling development that’s become a magnet for illegals, to rescue animals facing inhumane conditions that have been abused, starved, and abandoned.
Rourke is also the founder of We Fund The Blue Foundation and the Great American Cleanup, which helps clean up the mess left by illegals in border towns. The organization also provides disaster relief to areas across the country impacted by natural and man-made disasters.
Following a cleanup, the nonprofit raises funds to support, honor, and recognize the local law enforcement community.

Marxist tyrant New York AG Letitia James has notified pro-life pregnancy centers in the state of possible lawsuits over allegedly misleading statements about ‘abortion pill reversal’ (APR) protocols.
On April 22, James’ office sent “Notice of Intention to Sue” threat letters to at least a dozen pregnancy help organizations that offer or share information about the APR protocol, and the centers were given just five days to respond.
A collective of pregnancy help organizations are now suing the AG to block the threatened prosecutions.
“Abortion pill reversal,” or APR, has a mechanism of action which works by supplementing the pregnant woman with the hormone progesterone to outcompete the effects of mifepristone (the first drug in the abortion pill regimen). Mifepristone (brand name Mifeprex) starves the preborn child of the nutrients it needs to survive by inhibiting the pregnancy-sustaining action of the woman’s naturally occurring progesterone.
Progesterone has been used safely in pregnant women for decades. Live Action News has previously reported on APR’s safety and efficacy and has published numerousstories of women who were able to save their children’s lives by following the APR protocol and also previously documented how the pro-abortion American College of Obstetrics and Gynecologists (ACOG) and others within the abortion industry already know that progesterone can interfere with the action of the abortion pill.
CompassCare CEO Jim Harden wrote in a press release, “New York Attorney General Letitia James began a carbon-copy notice of litigation against Christian pro-life pregnancy centers. Ten pro-life pregnancy centers have been served so far for alleged “misleading statements or omissions in the advertising of the Abortion Pill Reversal (“APR”) protocol.” Similar allegations were filed against pro-life groups by abortion advocate and Attorney General Rob Bonta of California in the Fall of 2023.”
He continued, “This is only the most recent move by pro-abortion political extremists in a two-year, multi-layered, blue-state, pattern of attack against pro-life pregnancy centers—similar to Marxist-style allegations of misinformation leveled by Jane’s Revenge terrorist group against pro-lifers. The attacks on pregnancy centers began on June 7, 2022, with the firebombing of CompassCare’s medical office in Buffalo, injuring two firefighters. Firebombing of pro-life groups is now deemed domestic terror by the DOJ. One week after the firebombing, NY Governor Kathy Hochul weaponized legislation by signing a bill to investigate the victims, alleging misinformation while referring to pro-life people as Neanderthals. Shortly after, New York Attorney General Letitia James conspired with big tech like Google to censure pro-life pregnancy centers, keeping women from finding them on map features. James applauded Google’s illegal compliance in August 2022. The timeline of attacks including vilification of pro-life pregnancy centers through negative PR and activist litigation can be found on CompassCare’s webpage.”
Harden added, “You know, being sued by New York State for ‘misinformation’ oddly gives us the platform to educate the nation concerning the stubborn facts abortion industry puppets, like AG James, seek to hide; abortion is attended with a 44% increased risk of breast cancer, a 52% increased risk of future preterm deliveries, and a 5-fold increased risk of suicide. If it takes being sued by Letitia James to save women and babies from being used and victimized by a mercenary abortion industry, come and get us!”
Now, Heartbeat International, CompassCare, and a collective of pregnancy help organizations, represented by Thomas More Society, are suing the AG to block the threatened prosecutions.
Thomas More Society attorneys are requesting court intervention against the Attorney General’s threatened legal action, to safeguard the constitutional rights of Heartbeat International and the collective of pregnancy help organizations—many of which are part of Heartbeat International’s Abortion Pill Rescue® Network, or otherwise provide information about APR. At its core, James’ threatened litigation seeks to illegally silence Heartbeat International and its network member organizations from sharing their science-based, life-affirming message about the benefits, success, effectiveness, and safety of APR.
Peter Breen, Thomas More Society Executive Vice President & Head of Litigation, said, “This is a political witch-hunt against small nonprofits that have selflessly served New York’s pregnant women and their children for over 50 years. Letitia James should be heralding these charities, not launching outrageously false claims against them under laws that don’t apply to their noncommercial speech. For decades, doctors have been prescribing supplemental progesterone for pregnant women at serious risk for miscarriage—but because this safe and long-established practice may actually reverse abortions, ideologues like Letitia James now want to squelch it. Ms. James’ Notices of Intention to Sue are a transparent attempt to harass small pro-life charities into silence, targeting her political opponents because of their beliefs, in flagrant violation of the First Amendment. We will fight back as long as it takes against Ms. James’ efforts to jeopardize the Christian and life-affirming missions of Heartbeat International, CompassCare, and all similar pro-life ministries in the State of New York.”

In November 2023, socialist Pope Francis removed Bishop Joseph Strickland of the Diocese of Tyler, Texas.
Strickland, appointed in 2012 by Pope Benedict XVI, had been vocal in his criticism of the Vatican’s approach towards LGBTQ issues, abortion, and the discussion around allowing priests to marry.
But despite Pope Francis’ efforts to silence him, Bishop Strickland continues to speak out.
On Friday, Bishop Strickland published his latest letter warning of a confused understanding of authority’ that has invaded the Catholic Church.
Dear Brothers and Sisters in Christ,
“Roma locuta; causa finita est!” “Rome has spoken; the matter is finished!”
In these pastoral letters that I have been publishing, I have been writing about many issues that we are facing in what is an ever-growing crisis in the Church and in the world. As a Catholic bishop, my primary concern is always the Church—the Mystical Body of Christ—but it is clear that the present crisis in which we find ourselves touches not just the Church, but every aspect of humanity. When the Church is weak and her earthly leadership is seriously corrupted, it leaves every aspect of the human community vulnerable to evil, and we are seeing that vulnerability at every turn. As serious as all the issues are about which I have written, there is nothing more serious than the distorted understanding of authority and obedience which we now find so rampant. When we lack a clear understanding of the source from whence legitimate authority flows, then obedience is in grave danger of becoming arbitrary and compromised. When this happens, the very obedience which was divinely-instituted by God to point all people to truth may actually be weaponized by some to serve their own interests and to lead the unsuspecting away from truth. Therefore, we must always remain in the truth and be on guard for such a deception.
The history of the Church is replete with accounts of incidents and events in which a conflict arose, and Rome, with the proper use of authority, spoke out and settled the matter. “Roma locuta; causa finita est.” Catholics have wisely held onto this anchor of divine authority in the Catholic Church. Divinely-created authority, which is fully present only within the Catholic Church, should be a refuge for the faithful. Obedience to divine authority is obedience to Christ, as He is the one who has called that person into that position of authority. Obedience to divine authority is necessary within the holy structure of the Church, and it is important in helping us to grow in holiness. Unfortunately, however, the fact that divine authority has been viewed as “a given” in the Church has also served in many cases to make the faithful lazy or complacent in their obedience, and many have forgotten that, as St. Thomas Aquinas declared, God is to be obeyed in ALL things, but human authorities are to be obeyed in CERTAIN things.
As significant as this erosion of authority is for the state, the family, and society in general, when it afflicts the Church it takes us to a whole new level of concern. The Catholic Church is established on the Truth that comes from Almighty God and is fully revealed in Jesus Christ, His Divine Son—Truth Incarnate. When a confused understanding of authority invades the Church, then the very foundations of civilization are shaken, and we are now witnessing these tremors every day.
Jesus Christ tells us that “all authority in heaven and on earth” has been granted unto Him; thus, we must recognize that all earthly authority must look to Christ for its light because ultimately this light flows from a single source—the One who is the source of all authority in heaven and on earth. Only with this proper understanding of authority can we establish a firm foundation for obedience. Simply put, all obedience must always find its source and its end in obedience to Christ and the truth that He reveals. Authentic obedience to truth ultimately brings us to God—Father, Son, and Holy Spirit—the ultimate authority. As we navigate the path of obedience, if we ignore the truth that Christ has revealed to us then we short-circuit the very meaning and essence of obedience.
Today we find ourselves immersed in a culture which, influenced by postmodernism, is unable or unwilling to recognize valid authority. We are in fact immersed in a culture influenced by Nihilism, and this can be traced back to the fall of our first parents in the Garden of Eden. Nihilism, a philosophy that proclaims all values are baseless, focuses on the use of the will to dominate. It is a rejection of absolute truth, and it puts forth the false idea that “truth” is merely the expression of the will, and pure & unadulterated truth does not exist. In this context, each person can make up truth as he sees fit, or he can determine that truth is whatever the authority figure he recognizes determines it to be. This deadly belief (or similarly, the belief that each individual is an authority unto himself) has even invaded the Church, and it has become a festering, purulent wound within the Mystical Body today.
This twisted view of authority and obedience has been a brilliant but deadly weapon of the fallen, for they have been able to influence men in the hierarchy of the Church to use their accompanying “authority” to cause immense harm to souls. By proclaiming that obedience is still due to these who serve falsehood and who have forfeited their God-given authority, obedience has been used as a weapon and has forced tolerance of situations such as the horrific sex abuse scandals that have so devastated the Church and have caused harm to so many individuals who have fallen victim to these men who abuse power.
One thing that has been lost in the confusion regarding authority and obedience is the fact that whenever the use of authority causes harm to a divine truth, such as when a priest or a bishop calls into question the Deposit of Faith (which includes the immutable Dogmas and Doctrines of the Church), then anyone has a right, in fact even a solemn duty, to resist that error—regardless of the potentially negative consequences they may face. And rather than violating the Catholic tenet of obedience, this resistance to an abuse of authority actually solidifies and strengthens the tenet of obedience because it is obedience to the highest authority—Jesus Christ.
Something else that is often misunderstood regarding authority in the Church concerns papal infallibility and submission of faith. Papal infallibility is present only in the face of an infallible pronouncement regarding faith and morals which emanates from the Pope or from a doctrinal council with the approval of the reigning Pontiff. Such an infallible pronouncement is always, in simple terms, an affirmation of truth that is already a part of the Deposit of Faith—and to which there have been no additions or changes since the close of Public Revelation with the death of St. John in the First Century A.D. When an infallible pronouncement is made, such a proclamation requires submission of faith by the faithful, i.e., the faithful are assured of the truth of such a proclamation and are obliged to hold this belief as a matter of faith. Other statements made by the Pope, the bishops, or other authorities—though they may be true—do not fall under the very narrow charism of papal infallibility. As such, prudence dictates that we may and must evaluate all statements in light of the divinely revealed truths contained in the Sacred Deposit of Faith. If a statement from anyone appears to contradict these unchanging truths, we must first seek clarification. If clarification is not given, or worse, if error is confirmed, we must refute the error and look to the Deposit of Faith as our sure guide to truth.
When addressing the issues of authority and obedience in today’s Church, we must remember that the ultimate source of authority and truth is God. The dilemmas we face will always find their answer in the truth that God has revealed to us. We must constantly ask, “Is this authentic to Christ?” and “Does it correspond to what He and His Church have always taught?” When we answer these questions affirmatively, then we arrive at the truth we must obey. However, if one in “authority” has not received his authority from Christ, then no obedience is required. We should remember that authority is given by Christ to those in the hierarchy of the Church for the sake of the souls entrusted to their care. It is never given for the sake of the person himself who is in authority.
There have been many saints and doctors of the Church who have told us of a time that would come when it will be necessary for the faithful to oppose those who seem to be in “authority” within the hierarchy. If we complacently continue to obey without asking the source of the authority, then we will find ourselves in a dangerous place.
On October 13, 1973, our Blessed Mother appeared to Sister Agnes Sasagawa in Akita, Japan. This occurred on the 56th anniversary of our Blessed Mother’s final apparition at Fatima, Portugal in 1917. Our Blessed Mother spoke these words to Sister Sasagawa: “The work of the devil will infiltrate even into the Church in such a way that one will see cardinals opposing cardinals, bishops against bishops. The priests who venerate me will be scorned and opposed by their confreres… churches and altars sacked; the Church will be full of those who accept compromises . . . “
Archbishop Fulton Sheen said in 1948: “He will set up a counter church which will be the ape of the Church, because he, the Devil, is the ape of God. It will have all the notes and characteristics of the Church, but in reverse and emptied of its divine content. It will be a mystical body of the Antichrist that will in all externals resemble the mystical body of Christ . . .”
Pope St. John Paul II said in 1976: “We are now facing the final confrontation between the Church and the anti-Church, of the Gospel versus the anti-Gospel.”
For those who might think this could occur in regard to the hierarchy of the Church but surely never in regard to a Pope, history reminds us of Pope Honorius I, who was pope from 625 to 638. The Council of Constantinople condemned him posthumously, and Pope Leo II condemned him by stating that Honorius “did not attempt to sanctify this Apostolic Church with the teaching of Apostolic tradition, but by profane treachery permitted its purity to be polluted.”
Therefore it is important to realize that it is possible that members of the Church’s hierarchy—which does not exclude even Popes—can indeed cause harm to the Church and the faithful, even if unintentionally. Furthermore, as we look to the words of saints, scholars, and in particular the words of our Blessed Mother in numerous Church-approved apparitions, we must also recognize the possibility that a member of the Church’s hierarchy could intentionally seek to destroy the Faith and the Church. For this reason, we MUST NOT become lazy or complacent in regard to authority and obedience, even when it involves the Holy Father.
Francisco de Vittoria, a Dominican friar, canonist, and theologian from the Sixteenth Century, stated: “If (a Pope) desired to hand over the treasury of the Church . . . if he desired to destroy the Church, or other similar things one should not permit him to act in such a manner, but one would have the obligation to resist him. The reason for this is that he has not the power to destroy. Therefore, when it is known that he does so, it is licit to resist him.”
St. Robert Bellarmine wrote: “Just as it is licit to resist a Pontiff who attacks the body, so it is licit to resist him who attacks souls, or who disturbs the civil order, or, even more, who tries to destroy the Church. It is licit to resist him by not doing what he orders, and by impeding the execution of his will. It is not licit, however, to judge him, to punish him, or to dispose him, for such acts belong to a superior. Catholic obedience to a superior, therefore, should never be what has been called ‘blind obedience.’”
Also, just as we should be aware of the warnings we have been given about a counter church that will have been emptied of its divine content and over which the Anti-Christ will preside, we must also be aware of the possibility that at some point God may permit that an imposter might sit upon the chair of Peter. We must be on watch always that, should this occur, we obey Jesus Christ alone who is Truth Incarnate and who has revealed His Truth to us in the Sacred Deposit of Faith which is unchangeable. Authentic obedience dictates that we must not obey anyone who opposes Truth and whose desire is to destroy the Church. We can be assured though that even if this dire situation were to occur, the true Church will remain intact, although perhaps it will, for a time, return to the catacombs.
As we discuss the dangers of false authority and misplaced obedience, it is important to note that the laity in the Church do not exist for the sake of the clergy in the Church. The clergy exist to provide the sacraments necessary for salvation to the laity. The paramount concern of all clergy should always, ALWAYS, be the salvation of the souls entrusted to them.
I would also note that bishops are called by God to be shepherds of their flocks, as well as “fathers” to the priests. However, in a profound abuse of authority, we now see situations in which bishops attack and silence priests who are simply speaking truth and defending the Sacred Deposit of Faith. Consequently, many priests remain silent rather than preaching the fullness of Christ’s truth, and many have distrust and even fear of their bishops. We must always remember that a father is called to lead his family by love, not to rule over them by fear.
Furthermore, we have recently seen situations where religious communities throughout the world have been put under duress by their bishops in what sometimes even has the appearance of a “land grab” or a desire to control, rather than a genuine concern for the souls in their care. We have also seen situations where bishops, in being notified about purported messages and locutions from heaven being given in certain locations and communities within their dioceses, immediately attempt to shut down these communities and declare messages false without a thorough and proper investigation. In many of these cases, the lack of proper investigation has given rise to questions regarding authority and disobedience. We must pray that bishops—with prudence and discernment, but also with hearts of supernatural faith—prayerfully and dutifully perform thorough investigations when such situations arise so that the faithful will have a sure guide and know they can look to their shepherds with trust and confidence.
In closing, let us pray without ceasing for the Church, the prelates who lead her, and the faithful who belong to her Mystical Body. May we seek authentic obedience to the authoritative truth that Jesus Christ has revealed to us, and may we recognize and resist any authority that has not Christ as its source as we walk always in profound obedience to Our Lord Jesus Christ.

On Thursday, Chicago Mayor Brandon Johnson ran from reporters who wanted answers about reports that his administration is pressuring the family of slain Chicago Police Officer Luis Huesca to let the Mayor attend his funeral.
Officer Huesca was killed on April 21 as he returned home from his shift, dressed in uniform, during an alleged carjacking.
According to officials, Huesca shot more than ten times.
ABC News reports that Xavier Tate Jr., 22, was arrested after a 10-day manhunt and charged with first-degree murder, aggravated vehicular hijacking, and possession of a stolen firearm.
While reporters tried to ask Johnson about the allegations regarding the funeral, NBC Chicago’s Mary Ann Ahern reported that the Mayor refused to answer questions and ran away.
Ahern shouted to a rattled and fleeing Johnson, “Mister Mayor, why do you have to run from us, Mr. Mayor?”

Intrepid Chicago reporter John Kass reports:
According to reporting by Fran Spielman of the Sun Times, Johnson’s team tried to push the mourning Huesca family into inviting him to the funeral of the slain officer. I’ve never seen anything so despicable in Chicago politics and most of you know I’ve seen a lot.
If there’s anything lower than that, it’s running away like a whipped dog when you get caught.
He has a coward’s built-in excuse though, he might say Huesca’s mother didn’t understand the bad Spanish of his police officials and aides who initially tried to intimidate her by insisting he had to attend her son’s funeral, that it was mandatory. That it was all lost in translation. He’s craven enough, with his panic attacks, to try it. And he’ll always play the race card if it doesn’t work.
“At one point, there was an implication that the honors funeral is tied to the mayor’s attendance,” the Sun Times quoted John Catanzara, the president of the Fraternal Order of Police. “That was the guilt trip that we’re laying on this family.”
Ultimately, Johnson did not attend the funeral but tried to joke about his disgraceful and cowardly behavior.
Not only does Brandon Johnson think people are stupid but he thinks his antics, cowardice and inability to lead is funny

Milagro Jones, a Black student at UCLA, should be allowed to access all areas of his campus freely.
Milagro, who posts on X as Cupid General, filmed reactions to him walking through the pro-Hamas encampment at the school’s anti-Israel protest.
Protesters surrounded him and attempted to intimidate him, but Milagro was having no part of it.
When one told him, “You’re free to leave,” he dismantled the protestors.
“I am, because I am a US citizen, I’m free to do anything I want. That’s the cool thing about being a US citizen. When you work hard and get into UCLA…I got my GED in prison, so that means less than 1% of us will ever get any college degree. I’m getting a college degree from UCLA, the number one public university in the nation. So I’m free to go anywhere on this campus I want.”

In an interview with CNN, he said, “Our University has a policy, you’re not allowed to camp on our university. If me and my brother wanted to bring the homies and some cases of brews and camp out here, they’d gonna be like, ‘Bro, get out of here. You’re not allowed to do that.”
He was trying to walk through the encampment, but the pro-Hamas protesters didn’t like that. He was surrounded by protestors who blocked him.
“They wasn’t letting me move, period. They had me surrounded, they were saying some weird stuff. They were saying I was an Israeli agitator. I don’t know what that is, bro, at the end of the day, they’re not supposed to be here….that is my number one point.”
“Second point is, I’m a student, I can walk around wherever I want.”
“Third of all, I stand for zero tolerance of anti-semitism on a campus, period. As an African-American, and my dad was born before the Civil Rights Act and my people had to fight for basic civil rights, I don’t agree with any type of discrimination.”

Joe Scarborough has been melting down over the impact the radical protestors on college campuses will have on the 2024 presidential election.
The Gateway Pundit reported on the concern Joe and co-host Mika Brzezinski shared on Monday’s ‘Morning Joe’ that these displays are going to help elect President Trump.
Joe went off again, this time calling progressives in his audience who don’t see the impact this is having on the electorate ‘stupid.’
“I’ve got to say, you’d ask what parents are saying about this, for parents whose children are…and they’re children by the way…there are some adults but…I say this because we have kids, obviously, of college age.”
“I mean, obviously, they’re many (parents) that are distressed, I’m sure many are concerned about their safety. I certainly hope the students got out and they’re doing it peacefully right now. But Richard, this is….I tried to explain this a couple days ago, maybe I wasn’t eloquent enough…”
“But I can tell you, my family, I’m not saying the Vietnam war was a just war, but I can tell you, the riots on college campuses, the riots at the Chicago convention in ’68, all of those things moved my family from being Democrats their entire life to being Republicans. I remember, I was young, and I remember my parents asking ‘What in the world is going on in this country.'”
“And of course, you know, they were raised in the Great Depression in rural Georgia, kinda hard for them to hear which kids on the campus of Harvard or taking over campuses at Columbia…by the way, if you are offended by this, please, I’m trying to help you…I don’t want Donald Trump to get elected.”
“If you’re too stupid to figure that out, change to another channel because we are sorting through this as a country and this is not helping.”

Many have warned that the protests on college campuses have nefarious elements behind the scenes pushing their radical agenda.
Like many colleges in the country, Stanford University has been battling anti-Israel protests, including an encampment in the White Plaza area of its campus.
Officials expressed concern over a picture of a protestor on Stanford’s campus wearing a green headband, similar to what is worn by Hamas terrorists.
The image began circulating this week, prompting the University to forward the photo to the FBI.
The New York Post reports:
A photo of someone at the encampment wearing a green headband, a face covering and glasses eventually came to the attention of school administrators.
“We have received many expressions of concern about a photo circulating on social media of an individual on White Plaza who appeared to be wearing a green headband similar to those worn by members of Hamas,” the school said in a Wednesday statement. “We find this deeply disturbing, as Hamas is designated a terrorist organization by the United States government. We have not been able to identify the individual but have forwarded the photo to the FBI.”
Adams has alleged that protests at Columbia University and City College of New York (CCNY) were infiltrated by “outside agitators” affiliated with “terrorist groups.”
In an interview with Vladimir Duthiers on CBS Morning, Adams detailed the city’s response to the chaotic scenes that unfolded at both institutions, where nearly 300 individuals were arrested Tuesday night.
“These were not spontaneous student movements but calculated disruptions by professional agitators,” Adams explained, noting that a significant portion of those arrested had no affiliations with either university.
Those cheering on the anti-Israel protests include Hamas leaders and Iran’s Supreme Leader Ayatollah Ali Khamenei.

According to KVIA News, during the walkout, protesters tore down barricades and took down the American flag situated on the quad, and a Palestinian flag was raised in its place.
The American flag was flying at half-mast to honor the police officers tragically killed in Charlotte earlier this week.
Chancellor Roberts personally returned with police to replace the American flag while protestors threw bottles, rocks, and water at them and yelled obscenities.
In a rare show of leadership from a college administrator, Roberts faced down shrieking protesters saying, “This university doesn’t belong to a small group of protestors. It belongs to every citizen of North Carolina.”

Police in the Democrat-run sanctuary city of Chicago have reportedly made more than 1,000 arrests of illegal Venezuelan nationals in the first three months of 2024.
With the new numbers, the analysis has shifted from the prior argument that illegals commit less crime to one where they commit “less violent felonies.”
An analysis of the arrest data by The Chicago Tribune, in an article pushing the new narrative titled, “Migrant arrests are up, but they’re rarely accused of violent felonies,” tracks the increase.
According to the analysis, there were 609 arrests for driving/traffic offenses, nine violent felonies, 75 violent misdemeanors, and 313 other offenses listed as non-violent, with nine others listed as unknown or not listed.
The data does not include arrests of juveniles or anyone arrested by another agency.
Additionally, the data shows that a shoplifting surge shows a high share of Venezuelans’ arrests.
While much of the attention has focused on claims of violence, the Tribune analysis found a much higher than typical share of native Venezuelans’ arrests were for alleged thefts, particularly shoplifting or walking off without paying a tab.
The analysis found the biggest effect was seen around downtown, the heart of city retail shopping. In the past 19 months, for Loop theft arrests in which police listed the suspect’s birth country, roughly 1 in 5 were born in Venezuela.
The analysis found the biggest spike in one Loop beat in December and January, and in particular, the block that houses Macy’s flagship store on North State Street, where Chicago police arrested 76 adults in two months on theft charges. Of those with listed birth countries, more than 40% listed Venezuela. That doesn’t include an additional 95 people that Cook County sheriff’s deputies arrested there in a special shoplifting detail, roughly half of whom were native Venezuelans, according to the sheriff’s office.
Matt Christiansen has an excellent analysis of the shift in narrative:
The Chicago Tribune has analyzed the data: Venezuelan migrants are arrested in the city at disproportionately high rates. New video on @watchTENETnow breaks down the challenge to the ‘ackshually, migrants commit less crime’ narrative: https://t.co/fiFtSeINxv pic.twitter.com/rSbCNzWiGR

Rep. Troy Nehls (R-TX) recently spoke with FOX and Friends to discuss the illegal alien crime wave facing the nation today as a result of Joe Biden’s open border policies and revealed that lawmakers tried to warn Secretary of Homeland Security Mayorkas about the crime risk after allowing thousands of Venezuelan gang members into the country.
Nehls said he never heard back from Mayorkas.
TikTok’ influencer’ and Venezuelan illegal Leonel Moreno, who crossed the border illegally at Eagle Pass, Texas, in April 2022 on Joe Biden’s open border invitation, loved to brag on social media about how to take advantage of and openly mock Americans.
He told illegals how to invade American homes and invoke squatter’s rights, and how to steal from grocery stores.

Northwestern University, located in the liberal suburban Chicago enclave of Evanston, Illinois, announced their concessions to the radical Hamas supporters who have taken over their campus to end their protests and encampment.
Two of the most notable include the promise to offer full-ride scholarships to Palestinian students and also guaranteed faculty jobs for Palestinian academics.
The University will also provide special housing for Muslim students and will “advise employers not to rescind job offers for students engaging in speech protected by the First Amendment.”
One of the “First Amendment” students recently assaulted a student journalist attempting to take a video of the encampment.

These are the people Northwestern is caving to.
A statement from University President Michael Schill, Provost Kathleen Hagerty, and Vice-President for Student Affairs Susan Davis announced the agreement.
We have reached an agreement with a group of students and faculty who represent the majority of the protestors on Deering Meadow to bring the demonstration into compliance with University rules and policies. This agreement represents a sustainable and de-escalated path forward, and enhances the safety of all members of the Northwestern community while providing space for free expression that complies with University rules and policies.
The full agreement can be found here.
This agreement was forged by the hard work of students and faculty working closely with members of the administration to help ensure that the violence and escalation we have seen elsewhere does not happen here at Northwestern.
This agreement also addresses our commitment to protect the safety of our entire community and to ensure the ongoing academic operations of our campus while adhering to our support for free expression. The agreement includes support for our Muslim, Arab and Palestinian students. Some of the actions have been discussed for years and some are new. Together, they will strengthen our community.
This path forward requires the immediate removal of tents on Deering Meadow, cessation of non-approved use of amplified sound and a commitment that all conduct on Deering and across campus will comply with all University rules and policies. Compliant demonstration can continue at Deering Meadow through June 1.
For any demonstrators refusing to comply with the agreed-upon path forward, the University will take action to protect the safety of the community and enforce University rules and policies. These steps will include the suspension of non-compliant students and a requirement that non-affiliated individuals leave campus.
This path forward takes into account careful observation and assessment of protests on campuses across the United States.
Reported antisemitic and anti-Muslim/Palestinian incidents over the weekend — in most cases, fueled by demonstrators who are not affiliated with Northwestern — are unacceptable and cannot continue, and this agreement will help to ensure that. Acts of antisemitism, anti-Muslim/Arab racism, and hate will not be tolerated, and community members who can be identified participating in such acts will face disciplinary action.
The University will take appropriate disciplinary action against any student, faculty or staff who violate these rules and policies.
We know more challenges remain ahead of us. But our guiding principles will never waver: protecting the safety of our entire community, preserving free expression and peaceful demonstration, denouncing and refuting intolerance and hate, and ensuring that our University can continue to operate without disruption.
Shocking news out of Northwestern University: the school caves to pro Hamas mob in negotiations, agrees to full scholarships for Palestinian students and 2 year employment terms for Palestinian faculty.

The University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill is yet another college campus flashpoint for radical leftist Hamas cheerleaders.
On Tuesday, a group of heroic UNC fraternity brothers protected a fallen American flag from a pro-Hamas mob despite a violent onslaught from the radicals.
Early Tuesday morning, UNC administrators shared a statement from Interim Chancellor Lee Roberts and Provost Chris Clemens advising protesters to leave the area and remove tents, tables, and other items by 6 a.m. or face arrest and other consequences ranging from suspension from campus to potentially “expulsion from the university, which may prevent students from graduating.”
Police confirmed approximately 30 anti-Israel demonstrators were detained for refusing to leave the encampment.
UNC Students for Justice in Palestine organized a walkout in protest of the students who were taken into custody.
According to KVIA News, during the walkout, protesters tore down barricades and took down the American flag situated on the quad, and a Palestinian flag was raised in its place.
The American flag was flying at half-mast to honor the police officers tragically killed in Charlotte earlier this week.
Chancellor Roberts personally returned with police to replace the American flag while protestors threw bottles, rocks, and water at them and yelled obscenities.
When the protestors attempted to remove the flag again, the Greek community stepped up to protect it while they sang the National Anthem.
They made sure the flag never touched the ground despite the barrage of objects thrown at them and the violent rhetoric shouted at them by the unhinged activists.
According to one student, they stood protecting the flag for more than an hour.
UNC student Guillermo Estrada shared what happened.
“Today was a sad yet empowering day at Chapel Hill. When I walked to class, I saw the Palestinian flag raised on our quad flag pole, and was immediately upset at the act that these ‘protestors’ had made. I cannot say I am fully educated on the Israel/Palestine conflict, but it upset me that my country’s flag was disrespected in order to advocate for another. Shortly after, Chancellor Roberts came with police officers to hang the flag once again. They were met with profanity, middle fingers, thrown bottles, rocks, and water.”
“When the flag was raised once again, the greek community began singing the National anthem. As the Chancellor left, the quad erupted into chaos as protestors began removing the flag once again, preparing to destroy it.”
“My fraternity brother and others ran over to hold it up, in order for it not to touch the ground. People began throwing water bottles at us, rocks, sticks, calling us profane names. We stood for an hour defending the flag so many fight to protect.”
“My parents started a new life in the United States, a country that has helped them flourish and raise two kids. I grew up in a Military community and saw first hand the sacrifices they make. I will not stand for the disrespect these “protestors” cause for the sake of another country. My LDOC will be memorable in knowing that my fraternity brothers and others fought to keep the flag up. But it was also be memorable in knowing that so many yearn to disrespect it.”

On Tuesday, House Speaker Mike Johnson announced he is expanding the investigations into antisemitism exploding on college campuses across several committees.
Johnson said at a Tuesday press conference, “Antisemitism is a virus, and because the administration and woke university presidents aren’t stepping in, we’re seeing it spread.”
He added that “nearly every committee here has a role to play in these efforts to stop the madness that has ensued.”
Since January, House Education and the Workforce Congresswoman Chair Virginia Foxx (R-N.C.) has launched multiple antisemitism investigations into Rutgers University, the University of California, Berkeley, Massachusetts Institute of Technology, Columbia University, the University of Pennsylvania, and Harvard University.
At the press conference, Foxx announced an additional antisemitism hearing scheduled for next month to include Yale, UCLA, and the University of Michigan.
Foxx did not hold back when addressing the disgusting weakness shown by college administrators across the county by allowing radicals to take over their campuses.
“We have a clear message for mealy-mouthed, spineless college leaders: Congress will not tolerate your dereliction of your duty to your Jewish students,” Foxx said.
Adding, “American universities are officially put on notice that we have come to take our universities back…College is not a park for play-acting juveniles or a battleground for radical activists. Everyone affiliated with these universities will receive a healthy dose of reality – actions have consequences.”

Joe Biden’s DOJ/FBI is hunting down pro-life, conservative grandmas while ignoring Antifa and BLM militants and the radical Hamas supporters shutting down and terrorizing college campuses.
Under Biden, the DOJ weaponized the Freedom of Access to Clinic Entrances (FACE) Act, a 1994 law that prohibits interfering with anyone obtaining or providing “reproductive health services,” as a punishment for the Supreme Court’s reversal of Roe v. Wade in June 2022.
After the Supreme Court ruling, Biden formed the DOJ-led Reproductive Rights Task Force to enforce the act.
According to The Epoch Times, The FACE Act has now been used 130 times against pro-life individuals but only used three times against pro-abortion protesters.
In 2020, a group of pro-life activists entered an abortion clinic in Washington DC and ‘blocked’ women from seeking abortions.
The DOJ said the group entered the facility and blocked access using their bodies, furniture, chains, and ropes and live-streamed their activity on social media, which, according to the DOJ, is a felony conspiracy.
In September 2023, Lauren Handy, 28, of Alexandria, Virginia; John Hinshaw, 67, of Levittown, New York; Heather Idoni, 61, of Linden, Michigan; William Goodman, 52, of Bronx, New York; and Herb Geraghty, 25, of Pittsburgh were found guilty of conspiring to blockade access to the clinic.
Idoni, a mother of 15, including 10 boys she and her husband adopted from Ukraine, is facing a sentence of up to 50 years in federal prison and over $1 million in fines for her participation in pro-life protests in Washington, D.C., Michigan, and Tennessee.
Sentencing for Idoni and the other pro-lifers in the Washington D.C. case will take place in mid-May.
Idoni was also convicted for praying and singing hymns in the hallway of a clinic in Tennessee, and she currently awaits trial for two additional FACE violations in Michigan.
Idoni recently spoke with LifeSiteNews and shared the abuses she alleges she has faced while incarcerated.
Heather Idoni, a defendant in the Washington, D.C., FACE (Freedom to Access Clinic Entrances) Act trials, told LifeSiteNews that she has been subjected to 22 days of solitary confinement. In an exclusive interview, she said that she received this punishment for sharing food with fellow prisoners. Idoni alleged that she was allowed to walk outside her cell only for two hours in the middle of the night each day and that the lights of her cell were continually kept on. Idoni has been in prison since she was convicted last autumn.
Cal Zastro, a fellow pro-life advocate who has also been convicted of violating the FACE Act, told LifeSiteNews that “when Idoni was brought into the courtroom for a trial in Nashville, the U.S. marshal had the middle-aged woman shackled at the wrists, waist, and feet as if she were a dangerous criminal.”
Zastro said that, upon entering the courtroom, the shocked judge ordered the shackles removed. Initially the marshal agreed to remove the shackles from only one wrist to allow Idoni freedom to write, a concession necessary for her to take notes, as she was then representing herself in court. Only at the insistence of the indignant judge were the shackles of both wrists finally removed, although the marshal left the bars around her waist and feet.

The law firm representing America’s “Worst Mayor,” Tiffany Henyard, and the Village of Dolton in a slew of lawsuits is asking to withdraw from those cases.
The Gateway Pundit reported that Dolton, Illinois, Mayor Tiffany Henyard is under FBI investigation for abusing her power after she shut down businesses that didn’t donate to her campaign.
According to Dolton citizens, Henyard uses local police to target businesses that don’t contribute to her.
She has also been accused of stealing charitable funds and even using taxpayer dollars for personal use.
The Del Galdo Law Group said it is not being paid, so it will stop appearing in federal and state court and defending Dolton and Henyard in the 22 different lawsuits.
In a letter to Henyard and trustees, the law firm said the village is facing millions of dollars in judgments from earlier cases and could potentially be on the hook for millions more in the current lawsuits.The firm also added that the village is quickly approaching the point of becoming uninsurable.
Watch:
A May 2023 taxpayer-funded trip to Las Vegas that resulted in allegations of serious misconduct and claims that Henyard retaliated against an aide and a police officer who reported alleged sexual misconduct on the part of a village trustee, is also part of the investigation.
In March, Henyard reportedly vetoed an investigation, unanimously approved by The Dolton Village Board, into allegations that she misused funds for lavish expenses and a costly $1 million security detail.
A group of Dolton trustees recently hired failed former Chicago Mayor Lori Lightfoot, who let her city burn with rampant crime and violence, to investigate Henyard for a hefty $400 an-hour fee.

The Gateway Pundit reported on a new poll from CNN that shows Donald Trump holding an impressive six-point lead over Joe Biden in the 2024 presidential race.
Even more encouraging for Trump is that with the presence of third-party candidates, he leads Biden by a staggering nine points.
Trump’s support in the poll among registered voters holds steady at 49% in a head-to-head matchup against Biden, the same as in CNN’s last national poll on the race in January, while Biden’s stands at 43%, not significantly different from January’s 45%.
Looking back, 55% of all Americans now say they see Trump’s presidency as a success, while 44% see it as a failure. In a January 2021 poll taken just before Trump left office and days after the January 6 attack on the US Capitol, 55% considered his time as president a failure.
James Carville did not take the news well.
In a clip on X, taken from a longer video shared to Politicon, Carville had strong words for young voters if Donald Trump wins.
“If they get ahold, there will be no government left, no rights left, you will live under a theocracy, you’ll end up with Christian Nationalism. But that’s all right you little f’ing 26-year-old, you don’t feel like the election is important.”

Last week, Tennessee Governor Bill Lee signed the ‘Baby Olivia Act’ into law.
The law requires public schools to show school children a “high-quality, computer-generated animation or high-definition ultrasound” of unborn babies as they develop in the womb.
According to Life Site, “family life curriculum is required by Tennessee law in all counties where the teen birth rate exceeds 19.5 per 1,000 females between the ages of 15 and 19, which amount to 78 of the state’s 95 counties, according to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC).”
On March 18, 2024, The Tennessee State House adopted amendments #1 and #2 and passed House Bill 2435 which states:
AMENDMENT #1 rewrites the bill to, instead, enact the Baby Olivia Act, which requires a family life curriculum that directly or indirectly addresses human growth, human development, or human sexuality to include the presentation of a high-quality, computer-generated animation or high-definition ultrasound of at least three minutes in duration that shows the development of the brain, heart, sex organs, and other vital organs in early fetal development, such as “Meet Baby Olivia,” a high-quality, computer-generated animation developed by Live Action that shows the process of fertilization and the stages of human development inside the uterus.
AMENDMENT #2 deletes the requirement that the development of “sex organs” be included in the computer-generated animation or high-definition ultrasound of at least three minutes.
The law cites the computer-animated “Baby Olivia” video by Live Action, which depicts fertilization and fetal development from conception, as an example of an animation that would meet the law’s requirements. The video has been viewed almost 7 million times on YouTube.
Live Action founder and president Lila Rose shared the news on X along with the powerful Baby Olivia video, “BREAKING: The Baby Olivia Act has been signed into law in Tennessee. This law ensures that over 1 million TN public school students will be taught scientifically accurate information about when life begins using world-class educational materials like Live Action’s Baby Olivia.
“TN joins North Dakota in leading the way in human development education in schools. Watch what students across the nation will see below.”

The video goes on to depict milestone events of early fetal development with vivid computer animation, including the emergence of a detectable heartbeat at 22 days from conception, and recordable brain activity at six weeks from fertilization.
“[Baby Olivia] can bring her hands together at 7 ½ weeks, and separate fingers and toes emerge. She can also begin to hiccup,” the video explains.
Live Action has verified that the video accurately depicts fetal development, citingthe review and certification of “leading OBGYNs and medical professionals” including Dr. David Bolender, who has a PhD in Cell Biology, Neurobiology & Anatomy, and Michelle Cretella, MD, Executive Director of the American College of Pediatricians. The information in the video was derived from the Endowment for Human Development, a bioethics nonprofit.

Comic legend Jerry Seinfeld calls out the joy-killers in the far-left for ruining comedy.
The “Seinfeld” star joined New Yorker’s Radio Hour podcast and shared that, while people continue to crave comic relief, they can’t find it on television.
Seinfeld shared, “Nothing really affects comedy. People always need it. They need it so badly and they don’t get it.”
“It used to be that you’d go home at the end of the day, most people would go, ‘Oh, ’Cheers’ is on. Oh, ‘M.A.S.H.’ is on. Oh, ‘Mary Tyler Moore ’ is on, ‘All in the Family’ is on.’ You just expected [there will] be some funny stuff we can watch on TV tonight.”
“Well, guess what? Where is it? Where is it? This is the result of the extreme left and P.C. crap and people worrying so much about offending other people.”
“When you write a script and it goes into four or five different hands, committees, groups…’ here’s our thought about this joke’ well that’s the end of your comedy.”
“They move the gates, like in skiing. Culture – the gates are moving. Your job is to be agile and clever enough that wherever they put the gates, I’m going to make the gate.”

The Gateway Pundit reported that the Biden regime proudly announced that women will be forced to allow men in their locker rooms and bathrooms with a new 1577-page Title IX ruling.
Women will be forced to compete against men. And women will be forced to accept men on their sports teams.
Preferred pronouns are also now mandated, and even the single use of the “wrong” pronoun can require discipline.
And, as May Mailman, Director of Independent Women’s Law Center, notes, Title IX is not a college law. This will impact girls as young as those in the Headstart program, geared to children from three to five years old, those in daycare, and those in Kindergarten through 12th grade.
Florida Governor Ron DeSantis had strong words for Biden and his attack on women, “We will not comply.”
“Florida rejects Joe Biden’s attempt to rewrite Title IX. We will not comply, and we will fight back.”
“We are not going to let Joe Biden try to inject men into women’s activities.”
“We are not going to let Joe Biden undermine the rights of parents. And we are not going to let Joe Biden abuse his Constitutional authority to try to impose these policies on us here in Florida. We stand with opportunities, we are not going to let Biden get away with it.”
“We will not comply.”

An unidentified anti-Israel protester was photographed at George Washington University (GWU) with a sign calling for the “final solution,” echoing the Nazi plan to exterminate all Jews.
The man was seen carrying a large Palestinian flag with a sign using the verbiage of Adolf Hitler to describe his plans for the “annihilation of the Jews” as anti-Israel protesters on Thursday occupied GWU’s campus.

In the wake of October 7, the exponential rise in antisemitic violence, incitement, intimidation, and harassment on and around campuses in the United States is not the product of spontaneous protests of individuals. Rather, they are tightly coordinated and well-funded by a network of radical and often antisemitic non-governmental organizations (NGOs), including Students for Justice in Palestine (SJP), Jewish Voice for Peace (JVP), Within Our Lifetime, US Campaign for Palestinian Rights, and Samidoun. Under the guise of human rights and justice, these NGOs work to undermine the economic, military and other ties between US and Israel, and to besiege and divide the US Jewish community.
All of these groups have supported and justified the October 7th massacre, as well as other attacks. Many of the NGOs in the network are directly linked to designated Palestinian terror organizations.

Popular actor and podcaster Russell Brand has embarked on a spiritual journey in recent months, increasingly focusing on Christianity and Catholicism.
Breitbart News reports that “Last year, he expressed his need for God in his life, insisting without Him he ‘cannot cope in this world.’”
Earlier this year, he began wearing a crucifix around his neck.
The Gateway Pundit reported that he recently taught his viewers how to pray the rosary during an episode of his show.

Now, Brand has announced that he is “taking the plunge” and will be baptized this Sunday.
“This Sunday, I’m taking the plunge. I’m getting baptized.”
“At the moment, I’m very curious as to what you, who have been baptized, feel about it. What your expectations are, of the event, prior, and what its actually like.”
“What’s been explained to me is that it is an opportunity to die and be reborn. An opportunity to leave the past behind and be reborn in Christ’s name like it says in Galatians…that you can live as an enlightened and awakened person.”
“I know a lot of people are cynical about the increasing interest in Christianity and the return to God. But to me, it’s obvious. As meaning deteriorates in the modern world as our value systems and institutions crumble, all of us become increasingly away that there is this eerily familiar awakening and beaconing figure that we’ve all known all our lives within us and around us. And for me, it’s very exciting.”

The Gateway Pundit reported on the violent rhetoric of student Khymani James, who is an alleged leader of the Hamas-supporting encampment at Columbia University.
A video shared on social media shows segments of a meeting he participated in with University officials in January, punctuated with clips of his own commentary.
In the meeting, a Columbia official read one of his social media posts in which he discusses killing Zionists, and he was asked, “Do you see why that’s problematic in any way?” to which James proclaimed, “No.”
“I feel very comfortable, very comfortable, calling for those people to die,” James said.

He made the comments during a meeting with the school that he live-streamed.

Despite James’ violent rhetoric and ideations being freely expressed and available since January, he was still allowed at Columbia and able to organize the encampment that has spread like a virus to other college campuses across the country.
According to The New York Post, on Friday, a campus spokesman confirmed that James is now not allowed at Columbia, saying, “The student in question has been banned from campus.”
They did not elaborate on whether barring James from the campus indicated a suspension or a permanent expulsion.
If it was simply James’ words that prompted action, one would think Columbia would have responded in January since they heard his violent rhetoric directly from him then.
But it was only after the video of his comments resurfaced and went viral on Thursday that the University finally took action.
It seems his words bothered the University less than people becoming aware of them.

The Gateway Pundit reported on Woke ‘Reacher’ star Alan Ritchson coming under fire after an interview with The Hollywood Reporter (THR) slamming President Trump, MAGA voters, and police officers.
He told THR, “I’m a Christian quite simply because of what Jesus calls us to do. Love other people until death. It doesn’t mean we’re all to be hung on a cross, but how can I suffer for you? That is a beautiful thing.”
He added, “Christians today have become the most vitriolic tribe. It is so antithetical to what Jesus was calling us to be and to do,” before then attacking President Trump.
Ritchson continues, without merit, “Trump is a rapist and a con man, and yet the entire Christian church seems to be treat him like he’s their poster child and it’s unreal,” Ritchson adding, “I don’t understand it.”
Ritchson also addressed the death of Breonna Taylor, a 26-year-old who was shot and killed during a drug warrant search in Louisville, Kentucky, in 2020.
Addressing the image the actor shared in August of 2020, the actor told THR, “That was a tragic case,” adding, “Cops get away with murder all the time, and the fact that we can’t really hold them accountable for their improprieties is disturbing to me.”
“We should completely reform the way that we do it. I mean, you shouldn’t have to spend more time getting an education as a hairstylist than as a cop who’s armed with a deadly weapon,” he went on to propose. “We should make it very hard for people to make mistakes or abuse power in our institutions.”
Now, The Fraternal Order of Police has responded to Ritchson’s comments on X.
“While Mr. Ritchson gets his face and forehead powdered on set, our officers are out doing a job he doesn’t have the courage to do.”
“While he gets to hear loud pops and have blanks fired at him, our officers feel the heat of the bullets as they pierce their skin. There are no take two’s or take three’s in real life Mr. Ritchson.”
“We have people who want to kill us and we play for keeps. Just another useless Hollywood actor, virtue signaling for attention at the expense of brave police officers around this country.”
“Go back to your pampered life and let the heroes handle this.”

In his latest episode, Uncensored: Systemic Racism Against White Americans, Tucker Carlson asks, “There is systemic racism in the United States against whites. Everyone knows it. Nobody says it. How come?”
Jeremy Carl, author of The Unprotected Class, How anti-White Racism Is Tearing America Apart joined him to discuss the issue.
Tucker Carlson: If somehow you were able to be airlifted directly or teleported directly from 1994 to 2024, you’d notice an awful lot of changes. Primary among them would be the internet. But the biggest change you’d probably notice about our public conversation is how white people were so openly attacked and denigrated. Yes, a racial group. So in 1994, you were about 30 years past the civil rights movement. And in 1994, the operating assumption of virtually everyone in the United States was the main lesson of the civil rights movement. Of the letter from the Birmingham Jail on the Edmund Pettus Bridge, and all the different sacred moments that we grew up hearing about.
The main lesson of those moments was it is immoral, in fact, unacceptable to attack people on the basis of their race.
So then, if you fast forward 30 years to find the same country engaged in a public hate frenzy against people because of their race, you would find that bewildering. How did this happen? Of course, there would be the discrimination, the institutional racism of hurting people on the basis of their race in hiring, in admissions to schools, in federal contracting, in promotions, there would be all of that.
But there would also be the public manifestation of it, of saying out loud, “We just don’t like you. You’re not as good. You are morally defective because of your skin color.” You say this about white people, people who founded the United States. You’d be shocked by that. And then to turn on the TV and see the President of the United States do the very same thing. You’d think maybe you’d been drinking ayahuasca. You’d see Joe Biden say things like this:
Biden Soundbites:” History has thrust one more urgent task on us. Will we be the generation that finally wipes out the stain of racism from our national character? We’ve all seen the injustice on the neck of Black Americans. Racism, nativism, fear, demonization, have long torn us apart.
“But a black parent, no matter how wealthy or how poor they are, has to teach their child. When you’re walking down the street, don’t have a hoodie on when you go across the street.”
“Domestic terrorism from white supremacists is the most lethal terrorist threat in the homeland.”
News Soundbite: If I were your daughter, what advice would you give me the next time I am stopped by the police?
Biden Soundbite: If you’re my daughter, you’d be a Caucasian girl and you wouldn’t be pulled over.
Carlson: White supremacy is the most lethal threat to the United States. White people are the threat. They are evil and they are dangerous. That’s not just a senile President making that one statement. That is the people in charge of the country reinforcing that statement and that theme every single day of the year, not just by their words, but with their deeds.
What is this? Why does no one mention it’s happening? Why does anyone who does mention it’s happening get attacked as a white supremacist for complaining about racism? And maybe more important, where does it go? Is there any other ending to the story but hurting people physically, lots of people? Could we have a resolution that doesn’t look like Rwanda? J
Jeremy Carl is an author who’s thought a lot about this. He’s got a brand new book called The Unprotected Class, How anti-White Racism Is Tearing America Apart.
He joins us now. Jeremy, thanks so much for coming on. It may be a an advantage or maybe disadvantage of being a little bit older that it’s this is like the one thing you never thought or I never thought you would see in America, which is our leaders openly attacking people on the basis of their race. Just 60 years after the civil rights movement that supposedly taught us the opposite lesson in the Civil Rights Act. So how did this happen, do you think?
Jeremy Carl: Well, it’s an interesting question, right. And I think you just hit on a key point, which is 60 years. We are as far now from the Civil Rights Act as they were basically from the Wright brothers. So there’s been a lot of time that’s kind of, a lot of water under the bridge since that time. And a lot of things have happened. And I think it was begun with very sincere intentions, but I think rather quickly, certainly, you know, 10, 20, 30 years down the line, it got really hijacked to the point that we went from trying to treat people equally to what has eventually amounted to reverse racism.
Carlson: Right? Or just I guess I would just call it racism, because it seems like the standard would remain the same. No matter the race of the person being discriminated against. You can’t attack people. You can’t punish people for the color of their skin for how they were born. So like that seems like a pretty easy principle to uphold, is pretty straightforward.
Carl: Well, I would agree with you, Tucker, but it’s, you know, nonetheless, we’re really seeing throughout, and this is what I really wrote the book about, throughout many different areas of endeavor, and whether that be when we’re looking at how, crime gets talked about to what’s going on in Hollywood, to the educational system and monuments coming down and everything you could imagine, kind of the white person is kind of the great enemy. It’s the, the kind of, the evil guy in 1984, the kind of two minutes of hate we have to have against him. The Emanuel Goldstein figure, kind of is the white person in particularly the Democratic Party’s discourse today.
Carlson: What’s interesting, though, is it typically when you see these moments of scapegoating, which are clearly, you know, kind of inherent to people, I mean, they pop up in every society at every time through history, like there’s something in people that wants to separate a small group and like, blame all its problems in that group. But it’s usually it’s the minority. Of course, you know, the persecuted minority, whites are still, for at least as of today, probably change soon, of course, but they are still the majority in the country. So like, have you ever seen anything like that happen?
Carl: You know, I haven’t Tucker. It’s it’s kind of amazing to watch because this is whites are still a 58% majority. It’s no longer a majority of the under 18, but of adults it’s still a solid majority. It’s a super majority of our voters, still, in every presidential election, although just barely in the last presidential election. And yet they’ve become this figure of hate. And it’s really been kind of fascinating and disturbing to watch and to kind of think about why that happened.
And one of the things I suggest in my book is that really, ultimately, this is a legitimizing ideology for ultimately resource transfer and resource confiscation. And that takes, the form of some of this reparations conversation or land back or some of these other things, and they sort of start out on the extreme left and everybody goes, oh, well, that’s silly. That’s never going to happen. And then all of a sudden, you know, it is happening and you’re a racist if you think it’s a bad idea.
Carlson: Yeah. I mean, of course it’s happened and it’s still happening in other countries. You know, Rhodesia became Zimbabwe and the whites were killed and their land was taken and their money stolen. And it’s happening in South Africa right now. Of course, we’re not supposed to look at it, but it is happening, actually. I wonder why people are, why the majority is putting up with it?
Carl: Well, that’s a good question, Tucker and I, I can’t even fully I don’t have the perfect answer for that myself. And ultimately, I one of the main reasons I wrote this book is because I don’t think the majority, I don’t think anybody should be putting up with it, regardless of race. I mean, we shouldn’t have, we shouldn’t be putting up with racial discrimination in our society in 2024.
But I think, you know, kind of white people, they’re almost it’s like a Stockholm syndrome, almost where they’re they’re like in a hostage mode in terms of some of the ways that they’re thinking where they they sort of are in love with their captors. And they’re not able to kind of accept what’s going on, and particularly on the left, it’s this sort of notion that, because we, of course, like every nation, have had an imperfect past, that white people have some hereditary blood guilt. And I think the balance of American history just shows that that’s a really myopic and childish way to look at our history in our country.
Carlson: Well, it’s demonstrably absurd if America is so racist, if systemic racism is such a barrier, then why are nonwhite people moving here by the millions. So obviously that’s silly, but it’s a little weird to say that, you know, you hate whites, but you need to live in a country founded by whites who systems are Anglo systems like that. I mean, maybe I’m being too logical here, but it doesn’t make any sense.
Carl: No, it doesn’t. And I mean it sort of. It points to some of the absurdity here. And you also touched that. Of course, people from all sorts of different backgrounds are clamoring at the door. We’re right now dealing with this, of course, with illegal immigration. And even if you look at some of these groups and again, something I discuss in the book, there are all sorts of nonwhite ethnicities in this country among immigrants and among citizens, in which, particularly among Asian American groups, but not exclusively. I mean, if you were to even look at Nigerian Americans, or particularly Igbo Americans, for example, they would have an average, higher, income than the average white American. And so this kind of notion that whites are sort of on the top is really a selective editing of any story, no matter how true that belies that or any statistics that belie that. It’s one of the reasons you actually see Asian Americans frequently eliminated from these comparison sets when they’re talked about, because it doesn’t tell the story that, the left wants to tell.

On Wednesday, Israel Defense Forces carried out a large wave of strikes against 40+ sites belonging to the terror group.
Israeli Defense Minister Yoav Gallant claimed that the military has killed half of Hezbollah’s commanders in southern Lebanon.
“The other half are hiding or abandoning southern Lebanon,” said Yoav Gallant.
He said there would be further action in the months to come: “The coming period will be decisive” as Israel is facing “a number of alternatives” to bring security to the north.
“Half of the Hezbollah commanders in south Lebanon have been eliminated… and the other half hide and abandon south Lebanon to IDF operations,” Gallant said, after holding an assessment at the Northern Command headquarters in Safed with the chief of the command, Maj. Gen. Ori Gordin, and other top officers.
He said Israel’s main goal in the north was to return tens of thousands of Israelis displaced by Hezbollah’s daily attacks to their homes.
“We are dealing with a number of alternatives in order to establish this matter, and the coming period will be decisive in this regard,” Gallant said.
As the defense minister toured the Northern Command, the IDF said some 40 Hezbollah targets in the town of Ayta ash-Shab were hit within just several minutes by fighter jets and artillery shelling.
The strikes followed the terror group firing anti-tank missiles at northern Israel.
This was the reality in northern Israel this Passover morning.

“We see that in every attack, the Israeli army eliminates senior members of Hezbollah or operatives in the organization. And Hezbollah’s response is to shoot at Kiryat Shmona or outposts in the Golan at a limited depth of up to ten kilometers.”

On Tuesday, Biden traveled to Tampa, Florida, to participate in a campaign event and give a speech at Hillsborough Community College.
After wrapping his speech at Hillsborough, Biden headed over to a campaign office in Tampa where he peppered amongst a litany of lies about his life, time to cheerlead for abortion and thoroughly enrage Catholics.
During the rally, an abortion promoter voiced complaints about Florida’s six-week limit for abortions, during which Biden turned his back on his faith and his God and made the sign of the cross.
Catholic Vote condemned his disgusting politicization of faith sharing on X, “This. Is. VILE!”
They continued, “You cannot be Catholic and support abortion! You cannot invoke GOD and promote Death!”

Catholic Vote’s President Brian Burch said, in a statement, “Biden’s decision to make the Sign of the Cross in support of abortion extremism is a despicable charade that attempts to co-opt a sacred practice in support of his new abortion religion. His gesture openly mocks the Christian belief in the sanctity of life.”
“There is no divine support for destroying the lives of innocent children, and he should know better. Biden’s gesture suggests he is either terribly naive, or senile, or callously indifferent to the foundational beliefs of millions of Christians in America.”
Biden’s commitment to Catholic doctrine and teachings has been called into question by many within the Church.
On April 5, Michigan Bishop Robert Gruss of the Diocese of Saginaw lectured at the Cathedral of Mary of the Assumption and discussed Biden.
Gruss said that as far as his opinion of Biden, he pities him.
“I don’t have any anger towards the president. I feel sorry for him. I’m not angry at him, he’s just stupid,” Gruss said.
The congregation laughed again, prompting Gruss to clarify, “It’s not stupidity in the derogatory way, it’s stupidity in the sense of […] he doesn’t understand the Catholic faith.”
Mother Miriam of the Lamb of God, formerly Rosalind Moss, a Catholic nun, publicly criticized Joe Biden, calling him “inept and evil” and suggesting that reelecting former President Donald Trump would be “an act of God.”
Wilton Cardinal Gregory, the Washington Archdiocese, called Biden a ‘cafeteria Catholic.’
“I would say that he’s very sincere about his faith. But like a number of Catholics, he picks and chooses dimensions of the faith to highlight while ignoring or even contradicting other parts. There is a phrase that we have used in the past, a ‘cafeteria Catholic’ — you choose that which is attractive, and dismiss that which is challenging,” the Archbishop said.

Cal Poly Humboldt in Arcata, California, has closed its campus through Wednesday after pro-Palestinian protesters occupied and barricaded themselves inside Siemens Hall Monday evening, where students also attacked police officers.
Humboldt for Palestine shared their “demands” on Instagram:
Breaking! Cal Poly Humboldt students have taken Siemens Hall in solidarity with students across the nation occupying campuses for Palestine. Their demands as we understand them are as follows:
1. For CPH to disclose all holdings and collaborations with the zionist entity.
2. Academic Boycott, cut all ties with israeli universities.
3. Divest from all ties to the zionist entity including companies complicit in the occupation of Palestine.
4. To drop all charges and attacks on student organizers.
5. An immediate ceasefire and end to the occupation of Palestine. Students are requesting support as follows: Bodies to join them in the occupation of Siemens hall.Students, faculty, and community members to immediately call the university and UPD and pressure them to deescalate, allow the students to protest peacefully. You can contact UPD at 707-826-5555 and demand these students are allowed to express their first amendment rights!
Ultimately, the building was shut down after they did not leave, Aileen Yoo, a university spokesperson, told SFGATE.
The university is “concerned about the safety of students who remain in the building” and is asking them to leave, Yoo said.
A video shared on X shows students inside the building screaming at police before beginning to attack them. One student, holding a large water bottle, begins hitting police repeatedly.

Officials at Cal Poly Humboldt confirmed to SFGATE that three students were arrested in connection to the protest.
At approximately 8:30 p.m. Monday, the university announced that the campus would be closed through Wednesday because it believes the protest is a “dangerous and volatile situation.”
“The University is deeply concerned about the safety of the protestors who have barricaded themselves inside the building,” the statement read. “The University is urgently asking that the protestors listen to directives from law enforcement that have responded and to peacefully leave the building.”

Pediatrician and consultant Dr. Hilary Cass conducted a comprehensive and lengthy review of international research into gender medicine for children for NHS England.
Dr. Cass concludes that a lack of research and evidence on transgender medical interventions, such as puberty blockers and body-altering surgeries, is failing children.
Cass’s prior findings led to the banning of puberty blockers from children outside of clinical research in the UK.
After the publication of the landmark 388-page report, Dr. Cass shared that she is now under constant attack.
In an interview with The Times, Dr. Cass shared the disturbing backlash she is facing for simply sharing her well-researched report and discussed her concern about disinformation spreading in the aftermath.
She revealed that she has been sent “vile” abusive emails, has been given security advice, and has been told not to travel on public transport.
Cass said: “There are some pretty vile emails coming in at the moment. Most of which my team is protecting me from, so I’m not getting to see them.” Some of them contained “words I wouldn’t put in a newspaper”, she said.
She added: “What dismays me is just how childish the debate can become. If I don’t agree with somebody then I’m called transphobic or a Terf [trans-exclusionary radical feminist].”
*****
Asked if the abuse had taken a toll on her, she said: “No … it’s personal, but these people don’t know me.“I’m much, much more upset and frustrated about all this disinformation than I am about the abuse. The thing that makes me seethe is the misinformation.”
One of the particularly vexing examples of the misinformation being spread is that Cass used only two out of 100 studies for the report.
Labour MP Dawn Butlers perpetuated this misinformation when she told the House of Commons, “There are around 100 studies that have not been included in this Cass report, and we need to know why.”
Cass refutes that claim, explaining that researchers appraised every paper “but pulled the results from the ones that were high quality and medium quality, which was 60 out of 103.”
She also shared that six clinics refused to cooperate with research focused on the long-term impact of prescribing puberty blockers and sex hormones, which she called “co-ordinated” and “ideologically driven.”
Some of the key findings of the final report include:

On Tuesday, the Senate approved a massive $95 billion emergency foreign aid package which includes the following for Ukraine:
Congressman Bill Keating (D-MA), apparently thrilled at the opportunity to fund a foreign country over America’s working poor and struggling middle class, traveled to personally meet with Ukraine’s President Zelensky.
With a smile on his face and glee in his voice, Keating handed Zelensky a list of the Uniparty members who voted to send billions of dollars to Ukraine and put foreign interests over American citizens.
Keating can barely contain his joy as he hands over the vote tally.
“Bill Keating from Massachusetts…and I have something that you’re really gonna like…this is the official tally of the vote for the supplemental aid.”
“And look at that vote….73%.”
“That’s a good vote.”

South Carolina State Rep. Adam Morgan is running in the Republican primary for the 4th Congressional District primary against U.S. Rep. William Timmons.
Morgan was elected to the SC House of Representatives in 2018 as one of the youngest members of the Legislature.
In 2021, he and fellow conservative SC House Representatives founded the SC Freedom Caucus, where he serves as Chair, which actively fights for conservative values in legislation.
While his primary has not garnered much attention, Morgan recently went viral for his interaction with House Minority Leader Todd Rutherford (D-Columbia) during a March 2023 debate over the State Legislature’s approval of a $1.3 billion economic development package.
Matt Gaetz recently reshared the video, putting it back on the national radar, saying, “Inject this into my veins.”
Rutherford: Your suggestion is we should listen to the people back home, in your district, rather than the people at Commerce that have been successful at bringing these mega-deals to South Carolina.
Morgan: Mr. Rutherford, I don’t think that you could have espoused a philosophy that disagrees more fundamentally than me.
I completely disagree with you, and I think that you believe what you just said.
But no, I 100% am going to listen to the people back home who I represent in this House. And you should listen to the 40,000 people in your area and not the bureaucrats at commerce and not the lobbyists and not the multibillion dollar international corporations.
You should listen to your constituents like I am.
So yes, I will always fall back on the common sense of the wonderful people from Taylor’s and Greenville East Side far more than I will ever listen to unelected bureaucrats, other representatives in here who have been here for far too long and have managed a whole lot of these deals and far more than I will ever listen to any member out there.

Mike Rowe, the former host of the popular TV show “Dirty Jobs,” has a way of telling it like it is.
He has consistently criticized America’s dependence on higher education as the only path to success.
In 2008, Rowe created the mikeroweWORKS Foundation to launch a national PR campaign for skilled labor.
The website shares, “America has become slowly but undeniably disconnected from the most fundamental elements of civilization—food, energy, education, and the very nature of work itself.”
“Over the last 30 years, America has convinced itself that the best path for the most people is an expensive, four-year degree. Pop culture has glorified the “corner office job” while unintentionally belittling the jobs that helped build the corner office. As a result, our society has devalued any other path to success and happiness. Community colleges, trade schools, and apprenticeship programs are labeled as “alternative.” Millions of well-intended parents and guidance counselors see apprenticeships and on-the-job training opportunities as “vocational consolation prizes,” best suited for those not cut out for the brass ring: a four-year degree. The push for higher education has coincided with the removal of vocational arts from high schools nationwide. And the effects of this one-two punch have laid the foundation for a widening skills gap and massive student loan debt.”
Rowe’s concern with what is happening on college campuses, where the focus on a woke agenda has supplanted a robust education meant to create productive members of society, has never been more apparent.
In the last several days, protests have become even more violent, including assaults on Jewish students with chaos at Columbia University in New York City.
Protests have occurred at campuses across the country.
Rowe took X to share his concerns and contrast that chaos with what is happening at trade schools.
“For a guy who runs a foundation that sends young people to trade schools all over America – trade schools where I’m pleased to report, no one is calling for the extermination of Jews – today’s headlines are once again offering another excellent reason to consider redirecting whatever financial support you might earmark for the Ivy League, to the mikeroweWORKS Foundation. Why? Because the Ivy League has truly lost its mind.
Consider the latest madness at Columbia University, where the president, Minochuhe Shafik, has announced a new round of remote learning – effective immediately – in response to a noisy rabble of thugs and bullies calling for the eradication of Israel.
If I had a kid at Columbia, I’d be livid.
It’s simply mind-boggling that the president of this university would rather consign her students to another crucible of remote learning, than permanently expel the protesters. I mean, seriously, what does it take to get expelled from Columbia? These creeps are on camera, literally screaming into the faces of Jewish students.
“They yelled at us to go back to Poland, said we have no culture, and chanted, ‘Strike, strike Tel Aviv,” said one terrified student. Followed by, “Burn Tel Aviv to the ground,” “Go Hamas, we love you, we support your rockets, too.”
In a now-infamous image, one demonstrator appeared before a group of counter-protesters holding Israeli and American flags with a sign pointing in their direction that read, “Al-Qasam’s next targets.”
That’s what you get for $68,000 a year at Columbia – an administration who cowers in the face of thugs and bullies, and a university president who would rather make your kids try to learn off campus, than take a truly hard line with those students calling for the murder of Jews.
For the love of God, expel them. Calling for murder is not protected speech.
In the meantime, mikeroweWORKS is accepting applications for our next round of work ethic scholarships. Deadline is the end of the month. It’s worth noting that the careers we’re training people for cannot be taught, or preformed, remotely. It’s also worth mentioning that we accept donations year-round and spend the money we take in with great discretion.

On Thursday, Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis signed House Bill 931 into law.
The law allows school districts and charter schools to “adopt a policy to authorize volunteer school chaplains to provide support, services, and programs to students as assigned by the district school board or charter school governing board.”
The Governor also made it clear that the program will not be imposed upon public school students, sharing that it is “totally voluntary for a parent or a student to participate.”
In subsequent comments, DeSantis made it clear that the new measure would not open the door for members of the Satanic Temple to be public school chaplains.
The Florida Phoenix reports, “Some have said that if you do a school chaplain program that, somehow, you’re going to have satanists running around in all our schools. We’re not playing those games in Florida. That is not a religion. That is not qualified to be able to participate in this. So, we’re going to be using common sense when it comes to this. You don’t have to worry about it.”
Satanists are displeased.
The Christian Post reports the co-founder of The Satanic Temple responded to the new law with a request to debate DeSantis.
Lucien Greaves, co-founder of The Satanic Temple, which oversees After School Satan Clubs and planned to take advantage of the law, argued in a series of social media posts summarizing his comments to media that DeSantis’ words “hold no authority” because the U.S. Constitution “guarantees equal treatment under the law.” The group has threatened to sue if its members were prohibited from participating in the chaplain program.
Greaves stressed DeSantis “invited Satanic chaplains into public schools, whether he likes it or not” because he is “not at liberty to amend the Constitution by fiat.” He also noted that The Satanic Temple is recognized by the IRS as a tax-exempt religious organization.
After a call with DeSantis’ office on Friday, Greaves announced he instructed the organization’s Executive Director of Operations to send a formal proposal for a debate between DeSantis and Greaves.
The Satanic Temple has fought to hold After School Satan Clubs in school districts across the country, including Pennsylvania, Virginia, California, North Carolina, Ohio and Illinois.

At the Commission on the Status of Women’s (CSW) annual meeting in New York in March, the Saudi ambassador to the UN, Abdulaziz Alwasil, was elected as chair of the commission with no dissent.
The commission, which focuses on promoting gender equality and empowering women around the world, is now being led by a country with an “abysmal” record on women’s rights.
Meet Abdulaziz Alwasil of Saudi Arabia, the new Chair of the U.N. Commission on the Status of Women.

Sherine Tadros, the head of the New York office of Amnesty International, told The Guardian, “Whoever is in the chair, which is now Saudi Arabia, is in a key position to influence the planning, the decisions, the taking stock, and looking ahead, in a critical year for the commission.”
“Saudi Arabia is now at the helm, but Saudi Arabia’s own record on women’s rights is abysmal, and a far cry from the mandate of the commission.”
The Personal Status Law passed in 2022, which the kingdom points to as proof of “progress,” still requires that women must have the permission of a male guardian to marry regardless of their age or former marital status.
If a woman refuses to have sex with her husband, does not live in the marital home, or dares to refuse to travel with him without a “legitimate excuse,” withdrawal of financial support is justified under the law.
More disturbingly, women who openly speak out for human rights reforms can be imprisoned, face travel bans, and are unable to speak freely.
Americans for Democracy and Human Rights in Bahrain has publicly decried the decision.
However, Saudi Arabia systematically promotes well-established gender discrimination laws and portrays them as progressive. For example, the 2022 Personal Status Law has been criticized for perpetuating the male guardianship system and codifying discrimination against women. The law fails to provide adequate protection for women from domestic violence and makes them vulnerable to psychological abuse. Men often have the right to limit financial support to their wives if disputes arise. Therefore, the law codifies (and protects) men’s guardianship powers in Saudi Arabia. Male guardianship is a system in which women depend on a man who has the authority to make a range of crucial decisions.
However, this is not the only critical aspect of women’s discrimination in Saudi Arabia. For years, the Kingdom has arrested women’s rights activists who campaigned to end of the male guardianship system. One of the famous cases is that of Manahil Al-Otaibi, who was a victim of enforced disappearance and was imprisoned because of her support for women’s rights on social media platforms. However, women demanding human rights reforms and others who were imprisoned, are facing travel bans and are unable to speak freely.
Hillel Neuer, an international human rights lawyer and Executive Director of United Nations Watch points out that in today’s absurd UN, China sits on the Human Rights Council, Saudi Arabia chairs the Women’s Rights Commission, and the Islamic Republic of Iran chairs the Disarmament Commission.

The UN Commission on the Status of Women recently denigrated stay-at-home motherhood calling a woman’s devotion to her family ‘unpaid care work’ adding that mothers in general are victims of “gender inequality.”
They then followed with a call for Marxist state-funded daycare.
Kimberly Ells at Mercator, who attended the UN’s Commission on the Status of Women, said it was heavily focused on “unpaid care work.”
Ells wrote, “I spent a week listening to an endless parade of events focused almost exclusively on ending poverty by eliminating ‘unpaid care work.”
“What is ‘unpaid care work,’ you might ask? It is work done in the home without specific monetary payment. Most people would call that kind of work simply being alive,” she continued. “It could also be called running your own castle. But the forces that converged at the United Nations this spring called it an atrocity.”
To be an “unpaid care worker”—especially if you’re a woman—was seen as an afront to human decency. And because on average women worldwide do more labour in the home than men, people in UN circles call this “gender inequality,” “gender injustice,” and even “gender-based violence.” I’m not kidding. I heard these phrases repeated time after time in events sponsored by countries and organizations the world over. While there is such a thing as genuine gender-based violence, vacuuming the floor for free isn’t it.
Will freeing women from children will make everyone rich and happy?
So how do we solve the grave and unjust gender-inequalities supposedly manifested by women mopping more floors or changing more diapers than men? I saw only one solution proposed by UN partners and it was repeated over and over again: provide state-funded universal daycare for all families. That way, they say, the world can unite behind women and propel them out of the home and into the workforce where they can enjoy true freedom and engage in “socially productive work.”
With ‘women’ like Katie Neeves, who serves as the UK’s new UN delegatefor the Commission on the Status of Women, no wonder actual women are being denigrated.

A popular Australian preschool animated TV series has introduced its first same-sex couple.
‘Bluey’ launched in 2018 and was added to Disney+ in 2019, reaching an international audience. The series features seven-year-old sibling puppies Bluey and Bingo, who focus on life lessons geared toward pre-schoolers.
In the season finale, and after over 150 episodes, in the episode ‘The Sign,’ one of Bluey’s friends discusses his ‘two moms’ saying, “When my guinea pig ran away, my mums told me he might come back, but he didn’t.”
While the reference was subtle, LGBTQ outlets celebrated another opportunity to indoctrinate young children.
Outlet Unilad said the moment “is considered a step forward for LGBTQ representation and the normalization of same-sex couples appearing within kid’s television.”
Pink News called the inclusion “groundbreaking saying, “Disney+’s animated preschool show Bluey has joined the likes of Peppa Pig and Paw Patrol as a kids’ show that includes LGBTQ+ characters and topics.”

According to Congressman Tim Burchett (R-TN), however, $6 billion of the aid earmarked for Israel will end up in the hands of pro-Hamas NGOs.
Burchett shared on social media, “One of the more troubling bills is the Israeli aid. But unfortunately, it had about $6 billion in there going to Hamas, we think, to these NGOs, non-government organizations.”
“So, it’s a rough day for the taxpayers… 96 billion dollars that we do not have, that we are borrowing.”

In November 2023, socialist Pope Francis removed Bishop Joseph Strickland of the Diocese of Tyler, Texas.
Strickland, appointed in 2012 by Pope Benedict XVI, had been vocal in his criticism of the Vatican’s approach towards LGBTQ issues, abortion, and the discussion around allowing priests to marry.
In June of this year, the Holy Father, Pope Francis, directed that an Apostolic Visitation of the Diocese of Tyler should be conducted. Bishop Dennis Sullivan of Camden and Bishop Emeritus Gerald Kicanas of Tucson were appointed to conduct the Visitation. The Prelates conducted an exhaustive inquiry into all aspects of the governance and leadership of the Diocese of Tyler by its Ordinary, Bishop Joseph Strickland.
As a result of the Visitation, the recommendation was made to the Holy Father that the continuation in office of Bishop Strickland was not feasible. After months of careful consideration by the Dicastery for Bishops and the Holy Father, the decision was reached that the resignation of Bishop Strickland should be requested. Having been presented with that request on November 9, 2023, Bishop Strickland declined to resign from office. Thereafter, on November 11, 2023, the Holy Father removed Bishop Strickland from the Office of Bishop of Tyler.
Archbishop Carlo Maria Viganò characterized the dismissal as “a cowardly form of authoritarianism.”
But despite Pope Francis’ efforts to silence him, Bishop Strickland continues to speak out against the “powerful forces in the Vatican doing their best to dismantle every vestige of supernatural faith.”
On Friday, Lifesite shared his letter on the ‘crescendo of apostasy’ by Vatican forces against Catholic liturgy and doctrine.
Here is his letter in its entirety.
Dear Brothers and Sisters in Christ,
Jesus Christ is the fullness of the revelation of supernatural truth that guides humanity to our eternal destiny. He is the cornerstone on which our lives must be built because, as He reveals supernatural truth to us fully and completely, He reveals who we are and that for which we were created. Jesus commissioned His Apostles to share His supernatural truth with the world, and this is also our mission. If we recognize and embrace this mission, bringing this truth to humanity, then we must acknowledge that, after nearly 2,000 years, we have only just begun. When Christ prayed “that all may be one,” He prayed that all humanity might be unified in Him, thus bringing them also into unity with His Father and His Holy Spirit – one God in Three Persons.
The entire Judeo-Christian story (which begins with the supernatural truth revealed and recorded in the Hebrew Scriptures, the Old Testament) is the story of God revealing supernatural truth to those created in His image and likeness. The earliest books of the Bible offer numerous theophanies – manifestations of God’s supernatural presence – but Jesus Christ is beyond a theophany. He IS God among us, Emmanuel. It is critical that we note how Jesus came to us: He came in profound humility. The humility of Jesus Christ is not only a profound manifestation of His goodness; His humility is the blueprint for how we who are created by God should embrace the supernatural truth He has revealed to us. Jesus tells us that we must “become like children” if we wish to follow Him and to live the supernatural truth He manifests.
In order to incorporate the supernatural truth that is Jesus Christ into our human reality, He knew that we needed a vehicle, a vessel, that would guide us. Thus, Christ established His Church, which is made manifest in the world as the Catholic Church. Throughout Christian history, many have attempted to return to Christ in a pure and original way, but if in this laudable desire for purification we leave His Church, then we have truly lost our way.
The ultimate purpose of the Church that Jesus Christ established is the salvation of souls. This fulfills the divine mandate with which this letter begins: that it is our mission to bring Jesus Christ, Truth Incarnate, to humanity as the revelation of supernatural truth. We see also that His Church is essential as the instrument that Christ has ordained to guide humanity in the supernatural truth that He reveals.
It is of the utmost importance that humanity embrace Jesus Christ and His Church. However, the tremendous challenge of this is seen clearly in these times as His chosen vessel, the Church, which is plagued with human weakness and sinfulness, struggles against the One Who has brought her into being: God’s Divine Son. The Church is holy, yet composed of sinful human beings, and although guided by supernatural truth, she often gets bogged down in and even corrupted by things of this natural world. The image of the statue in the Book of Daniel comes to mind; the statue with feet partly of clay and partly of iron is an apt image of the Church. She has the iron of supernatural truth, but she also has the fragile pottery of the world, which often falls to dust. In our time, it appears that the overwhelming presence of fragile clay in the Church threatens to obliterate the supernatural truth that is her heart and soul. Christ has promised us that the Church will not be obliterated by the powers of Hell, but we must make it our daily choice to live the supernatural truth that is Jesus Christ.
It is imperative that we also acknowledge that this tendency for the Church to be dominated by the fragile clay of this world – to the detriment of her true mission to build supernatural faith – has been gaining momentum for more than a century. More than one papacy is seriously implicated in the lack of supernatural faith necessary in order to push back against the tidal wave of apostasy. The Oath against Modernism promulgated by Pope St. Pius X in 1910 was the best papal attempt to oppose the dominance of “fragile clay,” and since his death, support for this has weakened, until it has now been all but discarded, like so many other aspects of this intention that did not promote a cozier relationship with the world.
As devastating as all of this is to the mission of the Bride of Christ – the salvation of souls – we face an even greater challenge to this mission in our time. Too many prelates not only exhibit a lack of supernatural faith on their part, but they are also “hell-bent” on eliminating every vestige of supernatural faith from the Church. This has been building momentum over many decades, but we must open our eyes to the crescendo of apostasy that we are now witnessing.
Whether in liturgy, doctrine, or simple everyday piety of Catholics, too many prelates and powerful forces in the Vatican are doing their best to dismantle every vestige of supernatural faith, as well as any understanding of the supernatural truth that Jesus Christ has revealed to us.
One indication of the blitzkrieg against supernatural faith that has been evident in this time is that when purportedly supernatural manifestations of God’s presence appear among us, they are ignored or immediately declared false without any real investigation by the shepherds. The Church in the past has acted as a safeguard, as is her sacred responsibility, against any alleged supernatural manifestations that parade as truth but that may instead be the work of Satan and his minions. However, we now find ourselves in a situation where some (if not many) of the shepherds in the Church, upon the occurrence of a possible supernatural work in their diocese, would attempt to immediately shut it down or proclaim it as false with no investigation, in the fear that it might shine a light into the darkness, especially when they themselves are “bottom-dwellers” and, therefore, dwellers in this darkness.
In these times, God has not left us alone. Throughout the history of the Church, He has manifested Himself through supernatural works outside the boundaries of this physical world to remind us that He is present among us, and these supernatural works have not ceased. Furthermore, in the darkness that has now infiltrated His Church, He continues to send, as He did of old, warnings and admonitions through the mouths of “modern-day prophets and saints” to call His people back to Himself.
We must, however, with due diligence and supernatural faith, pray, discern, and be ever on guard against that which parades as good but is indeed an evil deception. We, of course, have looked, and still look, to the Church and her shepherds to keep us safe from evil deceptions and to point us to what is good, but what do we do in this time when many of the shepherds who are charged with guarding the flock are now in league with the wolves?
In a time such as this, it is of the utmost importance that we walk close to Christ, that we abide in His Sacred Heart, and that we sit often with Him so that we might come to know Him well. Of course, what is most important of all is that we worthily partake of Him as often as possible – Body and Blood, Soul and Divinity – in the Holy Eucharist. Belief in the real, supernatural presence of Christ in the Eucharist is the heart and soul of our faith.
May the greatest manifestation of supernatural truth, the Holy Eucharist, provide us the strength we need for the continuing journey of Christ’s disciples in the twenty-first century. Let us be invigorated by our Eucharistic faith so that supernatural truth is really present among us, and may His Body and Blood, Soul and Divinity nourish us and guide us deeper and deeper into His Sacred Heart – the Heart of supernatural truth.

Which is more important to you when choosing a healthcare profession to help in the battle for your life? An extensive background in research and surgical experience? Or a statement of the surgeon’s contributions to Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion (DEI)?
Apparently, for UC Davis, the answer is contributions to DEI.
Four years of medical school and a challenging residency focused on saving lives is simply not enough to become a surgeon at UC Davis.
According to a report at The College Fix, surgical oncologist applicants must also submit a “Statement of Contributions to Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion” to be considered for employment.
According to the job listing, “Contributions to diversity, equity, and inclusion documented in the application file will be used to evaluate applicants.”
Further, the University policy requires all faculty applicants to “submit a statement about their past, present, and future contributions to promoting equity, inclusion, and diversity in their professional careers,” yet both a “Statement of Teaching” and a “Statement of Research” are listed as optional.
A former associate dean at the University of Pennsylvania medical school criticized the requirement.
“The key to being a good surgical oncologist is having vast knowledge about how to treat cancer,” Dr. Stanley Goldfarb, chairman of Do No Harm, told The Fix via a media statement.
“That and a strong ethical sense should be the only requirements,” he said. “A surgical oncologist’s political ideas are irrelevant to his or her ability to treat patients.”
“There is no evidence that DEI adherence does anything to improve medical care,” he said. “There is a great deal of concern that adherence to DEI lead to divisiveness and mistrust on the part of patients.”
DEI is going to get people killed. Stop the insanity.

The Gateway Pundit reported that Dolton, Illinois, Mayor Tiffany Henyard is under FBI investigation for abusing her power after she shut down businesses that didn’t donate to her campaign.
According to Dolton citizens, Henyard uses local police to target businesses that don’t contribute to her.
She has also been accused of stealing charitable funds and even using taxpayer dollars for personal use.
No wonder residents call her the “worst mayor in America.”
A May 2023 taxpayer-funded trip to Las Vegas that resulted in allegations of serious misconduct and claims that Henyard retaliated against an aide and a police officer who reported alleged sexual misconduct on the part of a village trustee, is also part of the investigation.
In March, Henyard reportedly vetoed an investigation, unanimously approved by The Dolton Village Board, into allegations that she misused funds for lavish expenses and a costly $1 million security detail.
A group of Dolton trustees recently hired failed former Chicago Mayor Lori Lightfoot, who let her city burn with rampant crime and violence, to investigate Henyard for a hefty $400 an-hour fee.
Now, Fox 32 Chicago reports that on Friday, the FBI served subpoenas at the Dolton City Hall:
“I can confirm that the FBI was conducting court-authorized law enforcement activity in that area today. Department of Justice policy prevents the FBI from commenting on the nature of any investigation that may be occurring. There is no further information available for release at this time,” the FBI said in a statement.
Four agents from the FBI paid a visit to Dolton around 2:30 p.m. They served two federal subpoenas. The first one was for employment records, personnel files, and disciplinary reports for 25 Dolton employees, including three police officers and Keith Freeman. Freeman, who is the village administrator, was charged with bankruptcy fraud on Monday.
The second subpoena was served specifically for Freeman, asking for records of all companies associated with him and possible ties to the village.
On Friday night, Mayor Henyard released a statement via Facebook saying, “To all you clowns thats apart of the circus. Misery needs company, I pray for you all. Stop chasing Fake News.”
She then included a screenshot suggesting the FBI’s statement, and reports from multiple news outlets, is “fake news.”

On Friday, the Biden regime proudly announced that women will be forced to allow men in their locker rooms and bathrooms with a new 1577-page Title IX ruling.
Women will be forced to compete against men.
And women will be forced to accept men on their sports teams.
Women and young girls will be forced to share locker rooms and bathrooms based on gender identity rather than biological sex.
And, as May Mailman, Director of Independent Women’s Law Center, notes, Title IX is not a college law. This will impact girls as young as those in the Headstart program, geared to children from three to five-years old, those in daycare, and those in Kindergarten through 12th grade.
Reminder, Title IX is not a “college” law. It affects ALL education programs that accept federal dollars, that means daycare, Headstart, K-12, 4-H, etc. Gender ideology is absolutely coming for the kids, and not just in public schools. ANY school with federal money.

The new Biden Title IX rules specifically note that locker rooms and bathrooms must be based on gender identity. Girls will be forced to confront male genitalia if they’d like to play sports or pee. Thanks Biden. @IWF

Young girls everywhere will be subject to the type of sexual exposure allegedly faced by the female athletes forced to share a locker room with trans swimmer Lia Thomas.
Preferred pronouns are also now mandated, and even the single use of the “wrong” pronoun can require discipline.
They believe this is progress.
Title IX is now a thing of the past.
The new rules cement protections for L.G.B.T.Q. students under federal law. Additionally, it reverses Trump-era policies, including one that protects women by dictating how schools should respond to cases of alleged sexual misconduct in K-12 schools and college campuses.
The New York Times reports:
The new rules, which take effect on Aug. 1, effectively broadened the scope of Title IX, the 1972 law prohibiting sex discrimination in educational programs that receive federal funding. They extend the law’s reach to prohibit discrimination and harassment based on sexual orientation and gender identity, and widen the range of sexual harassment complaints that schools will be responsible for investigating.
*********
Through the new regulations, the administration moved to include students in its interpretation of Bostock v. Clayton County, the landmark 2020 Supreme Court case in which the court ruled that the Civil Rights Act of 1964 protects gay and transgender workers from workplace discrimination. The Trump administration held that transgender students were not protected under federal laws, including after the Bostock ruling.
Men who dress up like women can now be in every girls locker room.
Congratulations to Biden voters and Never Trump.

On Thursday, The Gateway Pundit reported that anti-Israel students were arrested and suspended by Columbia University in New York City for organizing a pro-Hamas occupation on campus grounds.
Among the arrestees from Barnard College, which is connected to Columbia, was Rep. Ilhan Omar’s “angry black girl” daughter, Isra.
Barnard student Maryam Iqbal was also arrested and now seems shocked that there are consequences for her behavior.
Iqbal took to social media to complain that there are real-world consequences for real-world actions.
She wrote on X, “Just got out of jail after Columbia called NYPD to mass arrest 100+ students. I have been suspended and evicted from housing by Barnard. This has only strengthened my commitment to the movement for Palestinian liberation and I promise to continue fighting for divestment.”

The arrests come on the heels of Columbia President Dr. Nemat “Minouche” Shafik’s testimony in front of Wednesday’s House Education and the Workforce Committee hearing.
The hearing was focused on the pervasive antisemitism at the Ivy League school as well as demanding answers to what consequences, if any, Professor Joseph Massad faced after he penned an article praising the Oct. 7 Hamas terror attacks against Israeli civilians. Massad praised Hamas militants as “awesome,” “astonishing,” “astounding,” and “incredible.”
Rep. Elise Stefanik (R-NY) issued a statement following Shafik’s testimony:
“My statement on @Columbia University’s failure to combat antisemitism following the inconsistent and unacceptable testimony from their campus leadership: “Today’s hearing of Columbia University president and board members epitomizes the failed leadership on “elite” college campuses to combat antisemitism and protect Jewish students. From the university president’s moral equivocation on antisemitism, to glaringly inconsistent testimony regarding disciplinary action and lack thereof taken against antisemitic students and pro-terrorist faculty, to astonishingly stating that there has been no “anti-Jewish” protests on campus only to then acknowledge that “F– the Jews” & “Death to the Jews” is in-fact anti-Jewish when she was further pressed.
Interestingly, during a break, the witnesses were overheard discussing how well they thought their testimony was going for Columbia. This arrogance is eerily reminiscent to the previous three university presidents who believed walking out of the hearing that their testimony was acceptable. Columbia is in for a reckoning of accountability.
If it takes a member of Congress to force a university president to fire a pro-terrorist, antisemitic faculty chair, then Columbia University leadership is failing Jewish students and its academic mission. No amount of overlawyered, overprepped, and over-consulted testimony is going to cover up for failure to act.”

Watching Joe Scarborough’s Morning Joe is a front-row seat to the effects of Trump Derangement Syndrome.
Scarborough suffered a humiliating meltdown in March after getting called out for lying about President Trump on X.
Now, in his latest episode of unhinged anger, Scarborough rages that Trump supporters “hate America.”
“What’s wrong with you? Who raised you? What history did you read? Where are you from? Because you may claim to be from where I’m from, but you were not raised by the same teachers I was raised by, and you don’t read,” Scarborough said.
He was raised by teachers as opposed to being raised by parents? That may be part of the problem, Joe.
“I’m getting tired of saying this to people who claim to be patriotic but hate America, because they’re always running America down. They’re always trashing America. They’re always saying America is horrible, its democracy doesn’t work, we need a dictatorship if Donald Trump doesn’t win.”
Scarborough then downplayed coverage of the crisis at the border and mocked Fox News.
“I’ll just say it, on Fox News, they didn’t want to show Donald Trump in trial, so they got three protests and said, protests shut down America, basically. This weekend, there were like four migrants and a hound dog on top of a hill in New Mexico. They had their four migrants and a hound dog cam on for hours.”

LaSalle Street in Chicago has long been an important business and financial hub for the city.
But if Mayor Brandon Johnson has his way, the area will be transformed into “affordable housing,” with some suggesting it is yet another scheme to place the interests of illegals ahead of citizens.
Blockclub Chicago reported that “four potential developments have been picked as part of the LaSalle Street Reimagined initiative, a plan that aims to help the corridor bounce back from pandemic vacancies,” which would add “more than 1,000 new apartments, with at least 319 of them affordable.”
On Friday, the City Council will vote on Johnson’s request for $1.25B for affordable housing borrowing.
This is on top of Johnson’s request for $70 million in additional City funding to care for illegals, which the Budget and Government Operations Committee voted 20-8 to send to the full Council.
The Real Deal spelled out Johnson’s plan:
The plan calls for $1.25 billion in bonds to be allocated over five years, with $250 million annually divided between the city’s Department of Planning and Development and the Department of Housing, for economic development and housing programs.
It would also allow numerous TIF districts to expire, and for the tax dollars recouped from those districts to be redirected to fund this initiative. This shift signifies a departure from Chicago’s traditional reliance on TIF funds for its developments, removing geographic barriers to how the money is spent.
Chicago reporter William B. Kelly, however, has questions.
Kelly shared on X, “Will Chicago Mayor Brandon Johnson get $1.25B to turn LaSalle Street into migrant housing? I know many of you are furious with Chicago Mayor Johnson and I don’t blame you. If you are angry and frustrated, understand this. The #Chicago City Council plans to vote on his $1.25B affordable housing borrowing plan this Friday. This is in addition to the $70M request he has made for #migrant housing and care. This $1.25B money grab is what he really wants – and he wants to use that money to turn Chicago’s LaSalle Street into taxpayer-funded apartments for migrants. His Brighton Park tent city failed and his Bring Chicago Home Referendum failed. He can’t afford this to fail too. So, don’t get distracted by things that won’t work. As a resident, as a voter and as a citizen, you have more power than you know. Please like, comment, and share this report widely. If this troubles you, voice your opposition and contact your alderman.”

On Tuesday night in Downers Grove, a quaint Chicago suburb, the Village Council 4-3 voted to remove the only Republican, logistics executive Bill Nienburg, from its six-member, appointed village library board.
Nienburg publicly opposed repeated initiatives intended to make the library more “progressive.”
As reported by Dupage Policy Journal, in 2022, Nienburg was the only board member who did not support a “drag queen bingo” event for children at the library featuring a male cross-dressing stripper.
The board’s plan to spend approximately $160,000 on an “anti-racism” and also to replace the Pledge of Allegiance with a “land statement,” which would declare that the town was formed on land “stolen by white Christian men from the Indians,” were also criticized by Nienburg.
In another blow to the radicals, Nienburg refused to put his “pronouns” on the library board’s “about” page.
Democrat Leslie Sadowski voted in favor of a resolution to remove Nienburg.

Dupage Policy Journal reports:
Sadowski told a crowd of more than 100, mostly attending in support of Nienburg, that she felt he should be removed because his ideas are “unsafe.”
“This has nothing to do with political affiliaton, and everything to do with dangerous extremism,” Sadowski said.
She said that she offered Nienburg “coaching” on how to get along with his liberal Democrat library board members, but that he refused.
Although Mr. Nienburg did not attended the meeting which ousted him, he sent a letter to Dupage Policy Journal:
The politically active Downers Grove Public Library administration and library board moved on February 28, 2024 to censure nonconforming library board member Bill Nienburg for sharing nonconfidential information with a Downers Grove taxpayer regarding a window painting policy at the library.
In a 5-0 vote the board moved to censure Mr. Nienburg and entered a request to the Downers Grove Village Council for his removal from the board. These actions all occurred when Mr. Nienburg was out of town and unable to attend this meeting and thereby denying him an opportunity to defend himself.
Bill Nienburg began his tenure with the Downers Grove Public Library Board in November 2022.
In this role as a library board member Mr. Nienburg exercised his fiduciary duty to the Downers Grove taxpayer by asking tough questions to and holding the library administration to account.
Last year he asked why a Native Land Statement is read before each meeting, but no Pledge of Allegiance. Suddenly the Pledge is now recited before each meeting.
During budget review Mr. Nienburg asked specific questions regarding increases to certain budget items, as well as how the budget can be proposed with no exact numbers.
And he questioned why the library staff, on its own accord, modified the native land statement with an anti-Christian update associating Christian Churches with native genocide.
In the broader context, this is the same activist library administration and board majority who (1) spent $86,000.00 on the divisive RGW Consultant equity report which cast Downers Grove as a racist community, (2) pushed a Drag Queen Bingo event targeted at children, and (3) developed and recites a native land statement that serves as a virtue signal with no real substance regarding native injustice.
Mr. Nienburg’s censure was not enough to satisfy the board majority.
During the February 28, 2024 Library Board Meeting, board members made disrespectful and mean-spirited remarks that likely violated board policy and by laws regarding respect and civil tone at board meetings. One board member, Carissa Dougherty openly violated Mr. Nienburg’s privacy by discussing his library card during the meeting and was a likely violation of the Illinois Library Records Confidentiality Act 75 ILCS 70/1.
On March 5, 2024, the Downers Grove Village Council voted 4-3 to investigate the removal of Mr. Nienburg from the Downers Grove Public Library Board. Again, no substantive policy violation was identified beyond alleged good governance. However, speakers during public comment made direct points regarding policy and law violations by the library administration and board members regarding the open discussion of Mr. Nienburg’s library card.
At the March 20, 2024, Downers Grove Public Library Board meeting speaker Noel Manley asserted that board member Carissa Dougherty may have violated the Illinois Library Records Confidentiality Act during her attack on board member Nienburg. Ms. Dougherty, during board comments, asserted she checked this matter with an attorney and that this was not protected information.
Note that in a FOIA dated April 1, 2024 an email dated March 13, 2024 was produced from the firm Klein, Thorpe & Jenkins arguing that “card holder status isn’t exempt information under the Library Confidentiality Act…” To test this assertion, in the same FOIA a request for a list of all active library card holders over the age of 18 was made. And the FOIA officer released a 510-page list of 28,031 names Downers Grove Public Library card holders.
Similar requests for active library card holder lists were made to the Westmont Public Library, the Oak Brook Public Library, the Hinsdale Public Library, and the Indian Prairie Public Library District. All denied this requested citing the same language in the Illinois Library Records Confidentiality Act (see attachments).
To compound the inconsistent application of library policy, at the April 9, 2024 Downers Grove Village Council meeting a former library employee spoke at public comment regarding her employment at the library. Specifically, she presented the council with her experience of sexual and criminal harassment from library patrons and the lack of response from the library administration. In fact, when she addressed this matter with the Downers Grove Police, she was placed on an employee improvement plan for failing to follow library protocol. Note that she cited the library employee handbook’s regarding harassment and sexual harassment. A policy that was not enforced. So feeling humiliated and abandoned in by the library administration, this violated woman resigned.
The consistent element of the Downers Grove Public Library’s administration and board majority is to deny due process to any board member or employee who fails to conform to their will.
In the case of Bill Nienburg and the former library employee, if you step outside your lane, you will be punished with selective and unspecific policy enforcement. However, if you violate the law, you get a pass.

Like communities around the country, Chicago is hemorrhaging cash to deal with the devastating consequences of Joe Biden’s border disaster.
On Monday, the Budget and Government Operations Committee of the Chicago City Council voted 20-8 to send Mayor Brandon Johnson’s request for $70 million in additional City funding to care for illegals to the full Council.
CBS News reports that the request is part of a spending plan announced by Illinois Gov. JB Pritzker and Cook County Board President Toni Preckwinkle in February. The State of Illinois and Cook County pledged a combined $250 million to help fund the crisis, which is anticipated to reach at least $321 million for shelter and services this calendar year.
During the heated debate, Ald. Chris Taliaferro of the 29th Ward said, “We are not taking care of our own. We have all but forgotten the residents on the West Side and South Side.”
Last Fall, Taliafarro spoke out against another example of the City putting illegals ahead of citizens when plans were announced to convert a youth football field into a shelter for illegals in his district.
9th Ward Ald. Anthony Beale added, “We don’t have money for after-school programs. We don’t have money to help our kids get off the street. Yet, we would just blow money left and right. That’s a fundamental problem.”
“And when we talk about this money, and as important as our children are to us, a place like Ogden Park, the field house is to the Inglewood community, where shootings take place, where every economic indicator, health indicator, everything, everybody should be jumping to that to protect our children and give us the things we need,” said 17th Ward Ald. David Moore.
The money is needed as the Democratic National Convention approaches in August, according to sources familiar with the plan.
Most of the money would come from a reserve fund set up for migrants, and the rest from rainy day funds.
The city has spent nearly $300 million to help feed, shelter and care for migrants since August 2022, according to the mayor’s office.

Has-been journalist and cheerleader for the leftist agenda, Katie Couric, joined Bill Maher’s Sunday edition of his “Club Random” podcast.
During the conversation, Couric and Maher discussed the polarization of society and the motivations of Trump supporters.
Couric suggested that the wealth gap in America is wider than ever before, and that has fomented class resentment. This resentment, she posited, coupled with “jealousy,” is driving the MAGA movement.
Couric could not help but also put the intellectual snobbery that envelopes the elitist left on full display, saying MAGA voters are also “anti-intellectualism.”
Couric argued, “The socioeconomic disparities are a lot and class resentment is a lot and anti-intellectualism and elitism is what is driving many of these anti-establishment — which are Trump voters — so, I think that is a huge problem that we have to address.”
She continued, “I mean globalization and the transition from an industrial to a technological society — I don’t know if you’ve ever been jealous of someone else or resentful — it is such a corroding and bitter, almost bile feeling.”
“I think that when people who are really struggling see people who have everything and are on top of that, looking down on them, it is just a recipe for such anger and resentment and grievance,” she added.
Maher responded, saying he is “bored” with the media’s negative treatment of Trump. Further, he added he wished they (the media) would understand the perspective of the typical Trump voter.
Watch:
Couric, however, has signaled she has no desire to understand Trump voters. She only wants to smear them.
When Couric joined Maher in 2021, she told him Trump supporters needed to be “deprogrammed” and called Trump supporters cult members.
She told Maher, “How are we going to really, almost deprogram these people who have signed up for the cult of Trump?”

More than a dozen Republican attorneys general have raised concerns alleging that Bank of America (BoA) is “de-banking” some customers because of their religious or political views.
Fox News Digital obtained a letter from Kansas Attorney General Kris Kobach to BoA’s CEO Brian T. Moynihan suggesting that the company “appears to be conditioning access to its services on customers having the bank’s preferred religious or political views.”
“Your discriminatory behavior is a serious threat to free speech and religious freedom, is potentially illegal, and is causing political and regulatory backlash,” the letter sent Monday states. “Your bank needs to be transparent with and assure us, its shareholders, and others that it will not continue to de-bank customers for their speech or religious exercise,” the AGs wrote.
Media relations representative, Bill Halldin, denied the claims in a statement saying, “Religious beliefs are not a factor in any account-closing decision.”
“We are proud to provide banking services to non-profit organizations affiliated with diverse faith communities throughout the United States,” he said.
The AGs claim that Bank of America has previously denied services to gun manufacturers, distributors, and sellers, fossil-fuel producers, contractors for U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) and private prisons and related services.
Additionally, the letter references reports that the bank cooperated with the FBI and U.S. Treasury to profile conservative and religious Americans as potential “domestic terrorists.”
The Gateway Pundit reported that in November 2023, Chairman Jim Jordan of the House Judiciary Committee and the Select Subcommittee on the Weaponization of the Federal Government issued a subpoena to BoA over their data-sharing practices.
Documents from 2021 reveal that BoA voluntarily provided the FBI with details of individuals who transacted in the Washington, D.C., area from January 5-7, 2021. This action was taken without any legal mandate, prompting the committee’s inquiry into whether the bank collaborated with the FBI to collect data on American citizens outside of legal boundaries.
The letter to Moynihan reads in part, “Those agencies outrageously used innocuous information—such as whether someone shopped at outdoor stores, supported Trump, purchased religious texts, had conservative views on COVID-19 or immigration, or associated with groups like Alliance Defending Freedom, Family Research Council, and the Ruth Institute, which champion mainstream views on free speech, religious freedom, and life—to tar ordinary Americans as potential domestic terrorists.”
“We are deeply concerned that Bank of America is willing to cooperate in the infringement of its customers’ constitutional and privacy rights to help federal law enforcement surveil and target millions of conservative Americans, many of whom live in our states,” the letter continues.
In addition to Kansas, attorneys general from Mississippi, Idaho, Iowa, Alabama, Utah, Texas, Montana, Virginia, Arkansas, South Carolina, South Dakota, Indiana, Missouri, and Nebraska asked for a written report from the financial institution about their account-cancellation policies and practices.

Elica Le Bon, a British-born Iranian attorney and activist, shared a powerful message on social media for those who defend the brutal Iranian Regime.
The video has amassed almost 3 million views on X in less than 24 hours.
Le Bon began, “Hi. Iranian woman here. It’s become very apparent that you haven’t been listening to anything that we’ve had to say for the past two years, but I was wondering if you could just lend me a few minutes of your time in this ungodly hour to hear us now.”
“We’ve had to watch, over the last 24 hours, people clambering onto the internet to explain that Iran has the right to defend itself.
“In what capacity have you distorted the story to make the Islamic Republic the victim? That’s, I think, what we’re most curious about.”
“When we were screaming for the past two years that they were lynching us, where were you?”
Elica recalls the brutality of the regime in the aftermath of the murder of Mahsa Amini, who died from injuries sustained after her arrest for the “improper” wearing of a hijab, and the subsequent mass protests that followed.
“When we were screaming that they were killing Iranian women for not wearing a hijab, where were you? Where were you when they were lynching Iranian men from cranes for protesting…”
“Where were you?”
“Where were you when we were explaining that this is a terrorist occupying force, where were you? But all of a sudden, everyone’s graduated from Instagram school of law to say that this is a violation of international law and Iran has the right to defend itself.”
“First of all, you aren’t talking about Iran, you are talking about the Islamic Republic. What the Islamic Republic does is not a reflection of the Iranian people. We’ve been clear about what we want, which is peace.”
She then lays bare the Islamic Republic’s work to destabilize the Middle East.
“How about the terror proxies that the Islamic Republic has created to foster regional instability? What did you think they were there for? What did you think Hezbollah was there for? Hamas? Houthis? The militia groups in Iraq and Syria?”
“Did you think that they were there to instigate a system of public schooling education? To feed the poor? House the unhoused? What did you think that they were there for? Is that an act of war?”

Florida’s Surgeon General, Dr. Joseph A. Ladapo, has been vocal about his concerns with the COVID-19 vaccines.
The Gateway Pundit reported in December that Dr. Ladapo sent a letter to FDA Commissioner Califf and CDC Director Mandy Cohen pressing for greater transparency about the potential for DNA integration into the human genome—a concern that could have far-reaching implications.
In May of 2023, Ladapo sent a letter to Califf and former CDC Director Rochelle Walensky regarding the risks of the experimental COVID-19 vaccines.
In January, Ladapo called for a halt in the use of COVID-19 mRNA vaccines.
Recently, Ladapo joined Stay Free with Russell Brand to discuss the current state of public health in the U.S. and didn’t hold back when it came to Dr. Anthony Fauci.
Brand asked, “Can you tell us the lessons we can learn from the figure of Anthony Fauci.”
Dr. Ladapo responded, “Maybe lesson number one is to really examine the deliverer of your information. I think a lot of people, early on, were just completely snowed by Dr. Fauci.”
“But there were a few voices that could see him for who he is.”
“And who he is is a dishonest, self-serving political animal who happens to have scientific training.”
“And we saw him…he misled people in so many ways. The whole mask thing was just epic. He was sitting in that 60 Minutes interview saying, ‘No one really needs to wear one.’ Which actually was consistent with the science, because the science hasn’t been supportive.”
“And then he flipped the script, and we were up to maybe two or three masks by the time the pandemic was actually starting to cool down.”
“So you’ve got to look at the sources of information and really feel whether they resonate with you in terms of your connection with what feels true.”
“And he clearly…I don’t have anything against him, actually…but you can look at him, and he is obviously a dishonest and untrustworthy person.”

On Saturday, Rep. Michael Waltz (R-FL) blasted Joe Biden’s foreign policy after Iran launched drones toward Israel.
Rep. Waltz spoke with Fox News host Jon Scott and shared, “There is no other way to describe the Obama-Biden Middle East policy except as a dangerous disaster. I mean, this is an utter calamity. Just a few years ago, under President Trump, ISIS was destroyed, Iran was broke and on their back foot, and we had the Abraham Accords, and look where we are now.”
Waltz continued, “I think the fundamental mistake, the fundamental underpinning, has been an appeasement strategy from the Biden Administration that is so focused on what they called de-escalation that it has signaled to the region, and certainly to Iran, that they have room to push, that they can achieve their goals as the Biden administration continues to try to appease and back away and that’s been reinforced.”
“Just last year, we refused to push the UN to renew sanctions on Iran’s drone and missile program. Now, they are literally flying towards Israel.”
“We have not enforced the oil sanctions, 90% of their oil is being sold to China. We have backed away from our greatest ally, Israel, very publicly.”
“And by the way, we spent the last couple of years practically begging Iran to get back into an Iran deal using Russia as an intermediary, and the lead negotiator is now under investigation by the FBI for some type of traitorous activity towards Iran … the list is so long that Iran clearly thinks it can get away with this and sees this as an opportunity.”
Waltz then shared what most Americans are thinking…“November can’t come soon enough,” adding, “We have to have a commander-in-chief that our enemies respect and fear.”
“And we do not have that right now.”

On Saturday, we asked The Gateway Pundit readers for help to reunite J6er Isaac Thomas with his beloved dog Izzy, and you, dear readers, came through again and raised the funds needed within a few hours.
Isaac has been seperated from Izzy for eight months while he was in the DC Gulag. In February, he was released from the Washington Correctional Treatment to await trial, and his quest to be reunited with Izzy began.
Isaac sent the following note to thank you for making it possible to get Izzy back by his side during an absolutely brutal, emotional, and difficult time after the Biden regime has left him with nothing.
During his confinement, two generous J6ers, Jalise and Mark Middleton, took care of Isaac’s beloved dog Izzy.
Unfortunately, they were found guilty and will be sentenced in May. So they could no longer take care of Izzy. This left Isaac afraid that he would lose Izzy forever.
On Saturday The Gateway Pundit readers raised over $10,000 for Isaac to be reunited with Izzy! THANK YOU!
Isaac wrote to TGP:
I would like to give a huge thank you to Jalise and Mark Middleton of American Patriot Relief for taking care of Izzy for me during my time in the DC Gulag. They did an amazing job making sure she was happy and taken care of.
Please keep Jalise and Mark in your prayers as they prepare for their sentencing next month. They are amazing Patriots who deserve so much better than this. I’m sure Izzy will miss them and miss Texas!!
Who knows, maybe we’ll get to go back someday when all of this is over and visit.
And thank you to The Gateway Pundit and their readers for continuing to support the J6ers.
You guys really are our biggest supporters!
Thank you guys for supporting me and my family!
God Bless all of you.
Isaac

Far-left wacko activist actress Jane Fonda is back on the climate protest circuit.
In a recent talk with college students at USC Annenberg, Fonda said the climate crisis is a “manifestation of racism, misogyny and patriarchy.”
She then apologized to the young people at the event, “I’m sorry that we’ve created this issue for you.”
Last summer, Fonda gathered with heavy hitters in Hollywood and led a three-day summit to talk about how they can more effectively destroy their business with more leftist messages and push climate change propaganda.
In 2023 at the Cannes Film Festival, Fonda said white men are to blame for the climate crisis and called for them to be jailed.
“This is serious,” Fonda said Saturday in Cannes, according to Fox News. “We’ve got about seven, eight years to cut ourselves in half of what we use of fossil fuels, and unfortunately, the people that have the least responsibility for it are hit the hardest — Global South, people on islands, poor people of color. It is a tragedy that we have to absolutely stop. We have to arrest and jail those men — they’re all men [behind this].”
During the event, Fonda shared with the crowd how she got her start in climate activism, talked a bit about her Fire Drill Fridays rallies that she started in 2019 to protest inaction on climate change, and spoke about the time she spent in jail after being arrested during a protest.
“I turned 82 in jail. What was so great is that most of the people that came had never been to a rally before and never gotten arrested before,” she said.
The actress also apologized to the young audience as they must bear the damage caused by climate change. “I’m sorry that we’ve created this issue for you,” she said. “But we can overcome it if we work fast and create awareness.”
Fonda stressed the stakes of the moment, declaring, “We have to change people. The climate crisis is a manifestation of racism, misogyny and patriarchy. It’s a mindset. When we confront the fossil fuel industry, we have to work on our mindsets.”

So many important things have been ripped away from J6ers as the government continues its cruel treatment of conservative political dissidents.
The Gateway Pundit has shared the heartbreaking story of what has been done to J6er Isaac Thomas.
Isaac was orphaned at the age of 6 and endured years of abuse and neglect as a child— trafficked through various placements while in the custody of the Department of Health and Human Services. Thomas emancipated himself at 16 and got involved in political activism.
Isaac was inspired to speak out for other victims of the failed foster care system and went to the United States Capitol with thousands of other Americans to peacefully protest and make their muffled voices heard.
Isaac was only 18 years old when he attended the January 6 protests.
In February, Isaac was released from the Washington Correctional Treatment following a ruling issued by US District Judge Colleen Kollar-Kotelly to await trial.
Thomas has been incarcerated for seven months after he was detained in pretrial custody during a hearing last August when Judge Kotelly sided with prosecutors to revoke his bond.
After filing two motions, his new attorney, Steven Metcalf, presented new facts to the judge and dismantled the Justice Department’s bogus allegations leveled against Thomas in a series of comprehensive court filings and finally persuaded the judge to, at least temporarily, restore his freedom.
During his confinement, two generous J6ers took care of Isaac’s beloved dog Izzy. Unfortunately, they were found guilty and will be sentenced in May.
Isaac has been separated across the country from Izzy and is now looking for help to raise the funds needed to bring her home to him.
Any pet lover knows how important they are to us. They are family. They are unconditional love. They are a loving port in a storm when the world bears down on you. They are healing, and they are a blessing.
During an absolutely brutal, emotional, and difficult time, having Izzy back by his side will provide much-needed love and companionship for Isaac.
Isaac shared the following with readers:
Hi, everyone; my name is Isaac Thomas. In January of 2023 I was charged for attending the January 6th protest. In August of 2023, my bond was revoked, forcing me to leave everything behind. I was released about a month ago with nothing pending trial, and I am starting fresh.
I’m making this fund because my puppy, Isabelle (Izzy) was sent to Texas during my time in the DC gulag and I need help funding the costs to get her brought home to me. I haven’t got to see her since I was locked up 8 months ago and would really like to get her home.
Please donate if you are able, thank you guys for supporting me and my family!
God bless all of you

On Wednesday, President Trump arrived in Atlanta for a high-dollar fundraiser. On the way, he stopped at a local Chick-fil-A, where he was warmly received by workers and HBCU (historically black colleges and universities) students.
One of the students who greeted President Trump was Michaelah Montgomery, founder of Conserve the Culture.
Montgomery shouted to the President, “I don’t care what the media tells you, Mr. Trump, we support you,” before a smiling Trump invited her for a picture and an appreciative hug.
Montgomery joined ‘Fox & Friends’ to discuss her experience and had harsh words for the media.
Speaking to Lawrence Jones, Montgomery said, “The general consensus or social media would have you thinking that if President Trump were to show up to the HBCU [Historically Black Colleges and Universities] campuses … that like, some angry mob would form or a riot would ensue and that he would not be welcome, and clearly the sentiment in that room the other day was the complete opposite.”
“He was very welcome. People were excited to see him. People showed up in support of him, and people, of course, were from all four institutions within the AUC [Atlanta University Center], the local HBCU community in Atlanta, and they all showed up in support of him,” she added.
Recalling the interaction she said, “I really appreciate that we were able to not only let him know that regardless of what social media says… I know they’re trying to make us think we’re supposed to hate you, but we don’t.”
“And additionally, it was a learning experience for my students because they were able to see and experience firsthand how the media can warp that perception of an opinion or a person.”
“Because, like I said, to think that these students who attend these illustrious institutions aren’t smart enough to make their own decisions, so much so that they would only show support for Trump because he bought chicken sandwiches and milkshakes… that in itself is the most disturbing part of it all.”
She continued, “Especially when you think about the fact that it was mainly urban media outlets that were doing everything in their power to turn other Black people against these young Black kids who simply were not shy to explore other options.”
Montgomery pointed to Trump’s authenticity and his ability to communicate clearly regarding his agenda for his rising poll numbers in the Black community.
In 2020, Trump made significant gains among black voters and in 2024, his numbers are even greater.
According to a new Wall Street Journal poll, Trump’s support among black men and women has doubled since 2020.
“They feel like he’s honest. They feel like this is somebody who, while we might not agree with how he says things, how he goes about things, at least he’s telling us what it is,” Montgomery shared.
“We don’t feel like this is a snake in the grass waiting for his chance to bite us. This is somebody who’s telling us this is what my plan is. Here’s how I plan to execute it. Here’s the people involved, and here’s how you can get involved.”
She continued, “They just feel like he’s more relatable. They really feel like this is somebody who’s talking to them and not just saying what they want to hear.”

UCLA Medical School’s Department of Psychiatry hosted a talk on April 2 titled “Depathologizing Resistance,” which glorified self-immolation as a form of “revolutionary suicide.”
The talk was delivered by two UCLA psychiatry residents, Drs. Ragda Izar and Afaf Moustafa who seemed to encourage and even celebrate suicidal ideation.
According to The Free Beacon, which obtained slides and video from the talk, the disturbing remarks were “centered on the suicide of Aaron Bushnell, the U.S. serviceman who set himself on fire in February to protest U.S. support for Israel—or, as Izar put it,’”indigenous Palestine.’”
The Gateway Pundit previously reported that Bushnell, an active-duty member of the U.S. Air Force, carried out the shocking act of self-immolation outside the Israeli Embassy in Washington, D.C., on Sunday, according to officials from the Air Force and local law enforcement.
In the video, Bushnell, dressed in military uniform, said, “I am an active duty member of the United States Air Force, and I will no longer be complicit in genocide. I’m about to engage in an extreme act of protest. But, compared to what people have been experiencing in Palestine at the hands of their colonizers, it’s not extreme at all. This is what our ruling class has decided will be normal.”
He then set himself on fire, shouting “Free Palestine.”
“Depathologizing Resistance” implied that a break from sane and normal behavior is less a sign of mental illness and more that an individual could be considered a “martyr who responded rationally.”
Bushnell had shown signs of mental distress before he died,according to a police report, and was widely seen as a casualty of mental illness. The presentation argued he could also be considered a “martyr,” a man in full control of his mental faculties who had responded rationally to a “genocide” unfolding thousands of miles away.
“Yes, he carried a lot of distress,” Izar said, according to audio of the talk reviewed by the Free Beacon. “But does that mean the actions he engaged in are any less valid?”
Isn’t it normal, she continued, “to be distressed when you’re seeing this level of carnage” in Gaza?
At UCLA, Izar and Moustafa, who are practicing psychiatrists, argued that self-immolation is a reasonable response to geopolitical events and that the taboo against it serves “the interests of power.” By “perpetuating the stigma of self-immolation,” they said, psychiatrists “discredit” resistance to “power structures” like “colonization,” “homophobia,” and “white supremacy,” framing legitimate acts of protest as signs of psychiatric dysfunction.
Can’t believe this has to be said, but if you’re considering suicide no matter the method, please DON’T. If your psychiatrist encourages your suicidal ideation, run as fast as you can. Please, please, don’t kill yourself. There is hope and help. Suicide Hotline: Dial 988. https://t.co/hQ9TPqZ8Tr

Terrorist Walid Daqqa died in prison earlier this week
Taking a page from Al Jazeera, which had an almost identical title, CNN eulogized Daqqa’s death with a story titled, “Terminally ill Palestinian prisoner dies after 38 years in Israeli custody.”
In the article, CNN says that Daqqa was “seen as a terrorist” after his arrest and sentence of life in prison after his group, the Popular Front for the Liberation of Palestine (PFLP) militant group, abducted and killed 19-year-old Israeli soldier Moshe Tamam in 1984.
CNN conveniently leaves out the details of Tamam’s horrific torture and murder.
Tamam was kidnapped and held for ransom. When the ransom bid failed, he was murdered on Daqqah’s orders, but not before being tortured, including having his eyes gouged out and being castrated.
Tamam, who was on leave from the military when he was murdered, vanished after accompanying his girlfriend to her home in the city of Tiberias and returning by bus to Tel Aviv.
His body was found four days later near the entrance to the town of Mevo Dotan in the West.
Tamam’s killers gouged out his eyes, mutilated his body and castrated him before taking him to an olive grove and shooting him dead, according to reports at the time.
CNN seemed to mirror Amnesty International’s (AI) lamenting of the terrorist’s death. AI described Daqqa as simply “a writer,” leaving out the details of his barbaric cruelty.
The death in custody of Walid Daqqa, a 62-year-old Palestinian writer who was the longest-serving Palestinian prisoner in Israeli jails after 38 years of imprisonment, is a cruel reminder of Israel’s disregard for Palestinians’ right to life

“The investigating officer evidently determined there’s at least one occasion where Ms. Grigsby had paid for a motel room that was used in the prostitution enterprise,” the judge said.
Grigsby is accused of transporting the victims, too. In court, prosecutors said an investigating officer was looking for evidence in a motel room that was allegedly paid for by Grigsby when one of the victims walked in and then ran out and got into a silver car believed to be driven by Grigsby. They said there was at least one other victim inside the vehicle.
In probable cause court, we also learned Grigsby and her son allegedly used Zelle to transfer money. Prosecutors said investigators found text messages between the two talking about payments and prostitution fees, as well as messages sent between her son and the victims.

In March, The Gateway Pundit reported that Planet Fitness banned a woman for taking a photo of a “transgender” biological man shaving in the women’s locker room at a Fairbanks, Alaska, location.
Despite uproar for failing to protect women, the gym chain has stood by its decision, saying that a member’s “discomfort is not a reason to deny access to the transgender member.” They are proud to be a “judgment-free zone.”
“As the home of the Judgement Free Zone, Planet Fitness is committed to creating an inclusive environment,” Planet Fitness chief corporate affairs officer McCall Gosselin told Fox News about its gender policy.
Their “judgment-free zone” has now led to the arrest of a man, sporting a beard but claiming to be a woman, at a location in Gastonia, North Carolina, for stripping naked and parading around the women’s locker room.
One woman called 911.
“And what’s he wearing?” the dispatcher said.
“Nothing, literally nothing,” the caller said.
“OK, so he is completely naked?” the dispatcher said.
“He is completely naked,” the caller said.
Sources told Channel 9 that Miller asked a woman to rub lotion and shower together.
“And is that man still there?” the dispatcher said.
“Yeah, he is still in the bathroom,” the caller said. “It’s a man but he says he identifies as a woman, and he won’t leave the restroom. But he is just walking around showing us his — and he won’t leave.”
Ultimately, Christopher Allan Miller, aged 38, was arrested for indecent exposure.
Sources also told Channel 9 that Miller was harassing women in the gym before the arrest.

The Borderline Dance team, a regional women’s country line dance team, was invited to the Emerald City Hoedown in Seattle last weekend to perform by event organizers, the Rain Country Dance Association.
Rain Country Dance Association describes itself as creating “a friendly environment for LGBTQ people and friends to meet and dance in the Pacific Northwest. We support this Country Western dance community by providing opportunities to dance, learn, and perform. We cater to the LGBTQ community of Seattle and Greater Puget Sound but are open to all.”
However, The Borderline Dance team’s American flag-themed shirts resulted in them being “effectively kicked out” of the event because some attendees felt “triggered and unsafe.”
The team shared a statement on Facebook:
Over the last two days, we have been answering dozens of calls and messages from friends and family. Feelings have ranged all the way from outrage to sympathy to disbelief. We want to make sure there is complete understanding and truth surrounding the events of Saturday.
I’ll try to make this as short as possible. Our Dance Team along with a few others were scheduled to perform at the Emerald City Hoedown in Seattle on Saturday. They’ve been asking us for three years to perform but because of their Covid restrictions, we have been unable to until this year. Dance teams work their boots off preparing for performances like these. Extra practices, babysitters, ferry rides, hours upon hours of practice and commute time and time away from their families. We all were very excited to perform for this event. Unfortunately, what our team was met with upon arrival was that our flag tops were offensive to some of the convention goers. There was a small group that felt “triggered and unsafe”. They had several claims for this reasoning. Mostly associated with the situation in Palestine and the Trans community in America. At first we were told we would just be boo’d, yelled at and likely many of them would walk out. This did not deter us. But then we were given an ultimatum. Remove the flag tops and perform in either street clothes (which most didn’t bring as they traveled there in their uniforms) or they would supply us with ECH shirts from years past… Or, don’t perform at all, which effectively was asking us to leave. Also, here is a link to their website that shows the pictures of our teams in our uniforms. So they would have known what we were going to wear.
We don’t speak for our team, we speak on behalf of them so the choice was theirs. As we knew would happen because there really was no choice in our minds, it was a unanimous NO.
We were not alone in this. Our friends, West Coast Country Heat, who were also scheduled to dance for the convention that evening also did not perform as they too proudly don the colors of our country in the same spirit of patriotism that we do. Both of our teams stood in solidarity and put actions to words.
Now, for the silver lining. Firstly, watching these teams band together was the greatest performance I’ve ever seen. These people are strong, resolute and unwavering in their patriotism. They are the families and friends of people who have suffered the unimaginable so that we may all have our own opinions and sleep soundly in our beds at night. THAT is why we wear the colors. Because although we may not always agree with the current state of things, we recognize that being an American means true FREEDOM. We all understood and accepted this and walked out with class and dignity despite the discrimination we had experienced.
Secondly, the support that we got from the majority of the community and even several of the organizers was amazing. We had individuals from ALL walks of life approach us and the message was clear “we want you”. The outpouring of love and respect was inspiring. There was also a lot of disappointment there. Disappointment in the community they are supposed to feel safe in. Disappointment that the spirit of this event, which is to share our love of country dance, was overshadowed by the political opinions of a small percentage. We only wanted to entertain. We didn’t get to do that but we did get to make new friends and build some bridges that maybe wouldn’t have been possible without this incident.
Ill leave it with this. May you never find yourself in a position where your freedom truly is taken from you. May you always have the choice to agree or disagree with whatever situation you find yourself in. And may you always protect someone else’s freedom to do the same. Whether it be in your favor or not.
Rain Country Dance Association shared a statement on Facebook addressing the controversy.
Hi y’all! After the close of another amazing Hoedown weekend, we know there are some questions about the Saturday night performance line-up. We appreciate y’all giving us the time to clear up misunderstandings and address the situation with people directly involved. We will be posting a follow-up statement later this week once we are able to have those conversations.
Board president Ziadee Cambier responded to a critic on Facebook saying, “Hello Rose, thank you for your feedback. This is Ziadee, Board President. We will be in continued communication with the captains of the dance teams that were slated to perform Saturday. To clarify, as this was not a competition, no one was disqualified and no one was asked to leave. While we are mending our relationships directly with the dance teams we will be disabling comments on this post. We will be sharing more information later this week, to hopefully clear up any misunderstandings.”

Pediatrician and consultant Hilary Cass conducted a comprehensive and lengthy review of international research into gender medicine for children for NHS England. She concludes that a lack of research and evidence on transgender medical interventions such as puberty blockers and body-altering surgeries is failing children.
“The pillars of gender medicine are ‘built on shaky foundations,'” Dr. Cass has said, and evidence was found to be severely lacking on the impacts of puberty blockers and hormone treatments on children.
Dr. Cass further stated that healthcare for people questioning their gender “needs to be improved across the board.” Still, there is a marked and essential distinction “between having a trans identity and medically transitioning.”
In a piece for the British Medical Journal (BMJ), Dr. Cass stated that while medicine is usually based on the pillars of integrating the best available research evidence with clinical expertise and patient values and preferences, she “found that in gender medicine those pillars are built on shaky foundations”.
In compiling the comprehensive report, she envisioned a six-month part-time review. But it became a “24-hour-a-day obsession to try to help improve things.”
Cass’s prior findings led to the banning of puberty blockers from children outside of clinical research in the UK.
Overview of key findings in the final report:

Author J.K. Rowling offered insight into the implications of the study.
Over the last four years, Hilary Cass has conducted the most robust review of the medical evidence for transitioning children that’s ever been conducted. Mere hours after it was released to the press and public, committed ideologues are doubling down. 1/6 https://t.co/J4fA4JYgkC

Whining by child mutilation fans led to a brutal community note on X.
Chair of the Chair of Scottish Labour Students, Emma Russell, wrote on X, “The Cass Review is a methodologically flawed, ideologically led study that isn’t worth the paper it’s printed on. The Labour Party, and Wes Streeting, must stand against the erosion of trans rights and trans healthcare provisions. This is absolutely vital.”
Community notes hit back hard, “Far from being ‘methodologically flawed’ and ‘ideologically led’ the study by Dr Cass has been 4 years in the making and was conducted by a former President of the Royal College of Paediatrics and Child Health. The poster is the idealogue.”

According to Breitbart News, gun-grabber David Hogg, who rose to fame on the tragedy of his dead classmates, is under scrutiny for expenditures of his Leaders We Deserve PAC.
The organization spent almost half of the $3 million-plus it brought in last year on travel expenses, political consultants, and legal fees despite the PAC’s claimed focus on electing leftist Gen Z candidates.
David Hogg got exposed https://t.co/xktuVxgeAX
— Breitbart News (@BreitbartNews) April 10, 2024
One of the expenditures includes a payout to former Clinton campaign general counsel and Trump-Russia hoax cheerleader Marc Elias.
However, Breitbart reports that their stated initiative comes second to supporting Hogg’s travel itinerary and enriching consultants, with expenditures of only $263,000 on campaigns and candidates.
Of the more than $3 million raised in its first year of operations, the Leaders We Deserve PAC spent only about $263,000 on its stated mission of electing candidates from Generation Z to office combined with donations to other Democrat Party committees and groups—and instead spent more than $1.4 million on disbursements to themselves for payroll and to political consulting firms and legal fees, in addition to travel and entertainment expenses like hotels, flights, and meals.
The FEC records show that Hogg’s group spent more than $51,000 across several payments to a group called Accelerate Political Advisors and another more than $25,000 across several payments to a firm called Bee Compliance, LLC. In addition, the group spent more than $83,000 on legal fees to Elias Law Group, the firm headed by Democrat lawyer Marc Elias. Leaders We Deserve spent another more than $28,000 over two payments, the records show, for “Communications Consulting” from a group called “Liftoff Campaigns” and yet another $60,000 for “Strategic Consulting” from a firm called “Lim Consulting Services.”
Hogg is blessed with the ability to financially enrich himself and with political fame and all he had to do was stand on the bodies of his dead classmates to do it. https://t.co/xJW8zns5sH

Last week, Secretary of State Antony Blinken announced the appointment of Zakiya Carr Johnson as the State Department’s chief diversity and inclusion officer.
Carr Johnson has previously called America a “failed historic model” and demanded the destruction of traditional structure “at every juncture.”
Blinken touted Carr Johnson’s prior experience as a senior adviser to Barack Obama and director of the first Race, Ethnicity, and Social Inclusion Unit at the State Department.
“Her previous work promoting entrepreneurship and access to opportunity for underrepresented populations, as well as her commitment to inclusive leadership, make us stronger, smarter, and more innovative,” he said.
Fox News reports that Carr Johnson’s prior experience includes ” running two relatively obscure companies – Odara Solutions, a DEI consulting firm, and Black Women Disrupt, an initiative in which Carr Johnson interviewed Black women involved in creative spaces around the world. Its YouTube channel had 125 subscribers.”
In a now-deleted article, Carr Johnson wrote:
“In those board rooms, in the tight knit working group, in the advocacy and activist spaces and in grand bureaucracies, there are mechanisms and cultures which dispute the humanity and ability of people like me to be trusted to lead. This happens, not because we are unprepared or unwilling, but because the rules created in our organizations and baked into their very foundations, are often riddled with racism, patriarchy and exclusion. These are chinks in the armor of traditional leadership that refuse to reconcile with a colonizing past, or recognize that time has run out for experimentation and tweaking of a failed historic model.”
Carr Johnson has also complained that “female-directed” initiatives have a downside….too many White women are able to advance.
In another Facebook post, Carr Johnson’s Odara Solutions complained that female-directed diversity initiatives allow too many White women to advance, purportedly “at the expense of women of color.”
This idea was reiterated in a June 2020 letter Carr Johnson signed with Fair Share which outlined a series of antiracist commitments.
“We strongly believe that feminist leadership must be anti-racist in order to transform our societies. Today we call for… long-term transformation… We will do our part to uplift and amplify feminist leaders of colour, counter White-centered feminism trends and narratives, and share Black and Brown feminists’ wisdom and recommendations,” it said.

On Tuesday, an anti-Israel mob with faux-bloodied hands swarmed and shut down the cafeteria in the Dirksen Senate Office building.
The group sang and chanted, “Senate can’t eat until Gaza eats!”
Demands from the protesters include the Senate endorsing a ceasefire, the restoration of UNRWA funding, and an end to military aid to Israel.
According to Fox News, at least 50 people were arrested and removed.
The U.S. Capitol Police confirmed to Fox News that those arrested inside the Dirksen Senate Office Building in Washington, D.C., were charged with Crowding, Obstructing, or Incommoding.
“It is illegal to demonstrate inside any of the Congressional Buildings,” Capitol Police said in a statement.
A video obtained by Fox News shows demonstrators walking through the hallways of the building, raising their hands and saying, “Children are starving in Gaza” and “People are dying in Gaza.”
At one point, according to a Fox News source, Capitol Police shouted, “Everybody out or be placed under arrest,” to which a protester replied, “This is the house of the people!”
Activists from an organization called Christians for a Free Palestine claim at least 30 of those arrested are “members of the clergy.”
Code Pink’s perennial tantrum queen and Hamas terrorist apologist, Susie Benjamin, was also front and center.

Iconic Hollywood actor Billy Dee Williams joined Bill Maher on the Club Random with Bill Maher podcast to discuss a wide range of topics.
During the conversation, the topic of actors engaging in ‘black face’ came up.
Williams shared that he refuses to give it any weight because he does not wish to “go through life feeling like, ‘I’m a victim’.”
Williams discussed his personal relationship with legendary actor Laurence Olivier and their conversation about Olivier and the 1965 film adaptation of Shakespeare’s play Othello.
He recalled, “I remember saying, ‘Have you ever thought about playing Othello?’ And he said, ‘No. Yeah, I thought about playing Othello, but I always see – do you remember (Old Man River singer) Paul Robeson?”
“When he finally did it, he did in black face. He wanted to do it but he always had this vision (of Othello) with Robeson’s (a black man) stature and voice. So finally, when he did it, he filmed – I don’t know if you’ve ever seen the performance, if you ever get a chance, it’s really interesting.”
“He did something that – he was known to be a bit outrageous,” he continued. “Olivier was more physical. He got criticized a lot for being physical and doing things with his voice that was a bit outrageous. But when he did Othello, I fell out laughing. He stuck his ass out and walked around with his ass – because black people are supposed to have big asses. I fell out laughing. I thought it was hysterical. I loved it. I loved it. I love that kind of stuff. Yes. Who doesn’t?!”
A surprised Maher challenged, “I agree, okay, but here’s the thing: Today, I mean, they would never let you do that.
“Why? Why not?” Williams responded. “I mean, [actor Paul Muni] and I used to talk about this all the time. Muni was the one, the first person that I worked with in those years, who said to me, ‘As an actor, you should be able to do – whatever you think you can do you should be able to do it.’”
Maher replied, “But again, not to bring up your sore point, but you actually lived in a period where you couldn’t play the part you should have played.”
“But it didn’t matter,” said Williams.
“And that’s a great attitude, but it still did happen,” Maher pushed back.
“Of course it happened!” Williams replied, “But the fact is that you discuss it, anybody can talk about it, means it was happening. But the point is, that you don’t go through life feeling like ‘I’m a victim’.”
He concluded, “I mean, I refuse to go through life saying to the world, ‘I’m pissed off.’ I’m not going to be pissed off 24 hours a day.”

Rep. Sheila Jackson Lee ( D-TX) once sat on the House Science Committee and the House Space Committee. But understanding astronomy seems to elude her.

Jackson Lee explained to the crowd, “You have the energy of the moon at night.”
What?
“And sometimes you’ve heard the word ‘full moon,’…Sometimes you need to take the opportunity just to come out and see a full moon,” which she then explained is a “complete rounded circle which is made up mostly of gases.”
Is this what they teach at her Alma Mater, Yale University?
She continued, “That’s why the question is why — or how — could we as humans live on the moon. The gas is such that we can do that.”
As NASA explains, the moon’s “weak atmosphere and its lack of liquid water cannot support life as we know it.”
Undeterred by facts, Jackson Lee added that the “sun is a mighty powerful heat and it’s almost impossible to go near the sun” while the “moon is more manageable.”

This is not the first time she has struggled with concepts surrounding astronomy.
Texas Monthly reported, “Jackson Lee, whose district neighbors the Johnson Space Center, is a member of the House Committee on Science, and so it was that she spent part of her summer recess visiting the Mars Pathfinder Operations Center in Pasadena, California. While there, according to an article by Sandy Hume in The Hill, a weekly newspaper that covers Congress, Jackson Lee asked if the Pathfinder succeeded in taking pictures of the American flag planted on Mars by Neil Armstrong in 1969. Of course, Armstrong planted the flag on the Moon, as any high schooler should be able to tell you, let alone a 47-year-old Yale graduate.”

On Monday, The National Association of Intercollegiate Athletics (NAIA), the governing body for predominately small colleges overseeing approximately 83,000 student-athletes at schools across the country, announced a policy restricting transgender athletes from competing in women’s sports.
NAIA’s Council of Presidents formed the NAIA Transgender Task Force in April 2022. NAIA’s policy had mirrored that of the National Collegiate Athletic Association (NCAA) until January of 2022 and permitted transgender athletes to participate on teams that corresponded with their affirmed gender as long they first underwent a year of androgen suppression.
NAIA shared, “That January, the NCAA changed its policy to treat each sport differently based on the policy of the applicable Olympic national governing body (NGB). For sports with no applicable NGB policy, the NCAA is planning to turn to the policy of the United States Olympic & Paralympic Committee or the international federation for that sport.”
“The NAIA’s task force was charged with determining whether the NAIA’s existing transgender policy needed to be altered and is so, bringing forward a new policy recommendation for the COP’s consideration. After two years of work, the task force proposed a new transgender policy which was approved by the COP on April 8, 2024. The new policy will be effective August 1, 2024.”
In a 20-0 vote, “the transgender participation policy” determines that all athletes may participate in NAIA-sponsored male sports, but only athletes whose biological sex assigned at birth is female and who have not begun hormone therapy may participate in women’s sports.
Those students who have begun hormone therapy are barred from participating in interscholastic competitions but can participate in workouts, practices, and team activities.
While competitive cheer and competitive dance are open to all students, the new policy notes every other sport “includes some combination of strength, speed, and stamina, providing competitive advantages for male student-athletes.”
NAIA President and CEO told AP, “We know there are a lot of opinions, and a lot of people have a very emotional reaction to this, and we want to be respectful of all that,” Carr said. “But we feel like our primary responsibility is fairness in competition, so we are following that path. And we’ve tried as best we could to allow for some participation by all.”
In March, a group of female athletes filed a lawsuit against the NCAA over their decision to allow “transgender” athletes to compete against them and use locker rooms for women.
The lawsuit was filed by the Independent Council on Women’s Sports (ICONS) on behalf of over a dozen female athletes. It alleges that the NCAA violated Title IX, a federal statute that guarantees equal opportunity for men and women in college sports.
It seeks to prohibit biological males from competing against female athletes. Further, it demands the NCAA revoke awards received by “transgender” athletes who competed against women in tournaments that were governed by the organization.

Frontpage Editor Jamie Glazov has confirmed that on April 4, Facebook disabled his account.
His violation? Sharing a recent Glazov Gang episode which discussed the danger posed to Americans by Hamas terrorists: “Oct 7th Coming to the USA?”
Facebook removed the post and disabled his account because “the post violated its ‘community standards’ and posed a threat to ‘the security of people on Facebook.'”
Why, exactly, is Facebook trying to cover up the barbarities Hamas inflicted on Israelis on Oct 7 – and the barbarities that it promises to inflict on innocents around the world in the future? And why is Facebook disabling the accounts of individuals who are telling the truth about it?
Meanwhile, Facebook’s Oversight Board has decided that calling terrorists “martyrs” is an acceptable form of free speech. This, of course, opens the door for Hamas supporters to celebrate the murder of Jews. Facebook did this in response to pressure from Sen. Elizabeth Warren and other Democrats.
Thus, while you can now celebrate Hamas murderers, rapists and kidnappers as “martyrs” on Facebook, Jamie Glazov isn’t allowed to tell the truth about what Islamic terror means not only for Israel, but for America.

In March, the NAACP’s president and CEO, Derrick Johnson, sent a letter to NCAA president Charlie Baker on Monday asking Black student-athletes to reconsider attending public colleges and universities in Florida.
Johnson’s letter was in response to dismantling Marxist Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion (DEI) programs throughout the state.
In January, The Florida Board of Governors passed a regulation limiting public funding for DEI programs, defining them as “any program, campus activity, or policy that classifies individuals on the basis of race, color, sex, national origin, gender identity, or sexual orientation and promotes differential or preferential treatment of individuals on the basis of such classification.”
In his letter, Johnson wrote, “To all current and prospective college student-athletes – the NAACP urges you to reconsider any potential decision to attend, and compete at a predominantly white institution in the state of Florida.”
It seems, however, that student-athletes are not listening to the NAACP’s demands.
College Fix did an analysis that identified at least 35 of the top-ranked black student-athletes in basketball and football who recently signed with universities in Florida.
The Fix shared this list with the NAACP and asked for comment. The group has not responded to two emailed inquiries sent in the past three weeks. The Fix sent another email on April 4 to Press Secretary Alicia Mercedes and Public Relations Manager Chyna Fields, asking if anyone has decommitted. Neither responded to the email.
That number includes Jalil Bethea, who signed with the University of Miami, and is the sixth best player in the class of 2024, according to ESPN.
He’ll be joined next year by Austin Swartz, the 43rd best player. University of Florida has two of the top ten football players joining campus next year, both of whom are black.
A news search about “decommits” did not yield any proof of black athletes leaving Florida universities due to the NAACP boycott demand.

Now they are coming for your jeans.
Scientists from the Guangdong University of Technology have released a new study claiming wearing jeans is “bad for the environment.”
According to the report, wearing a pair of fast-fashion jeans just once creates 2.5kg of CO2, or the equivalent of driving a gas-powered car 6.4 miles.
Guangdong University of Technology is a state-run school by the Guangdong Provincial People’s Government in China.
“This study took jeans as an example to reveal the carbon footprint of fast fashion consumption and its additional climate impacts compared to traditional fashion,” wrote the authors of the new report, set for publishing in May 2024.
“Jeans production and cross-broad transportation contributed 91 % of the carbon footprint of fast fashion consumption,” added the experts.
The devil is always in the details. This is based on a study by the Guangdong University of Technology. It’s a state run school by the Guangdong Provincial People’s Government. Who runs that? The Chinese Communist Party.

Former Secretary of State Hillary Clinton returned to her alma mater, Wellesley College, on Saturday. But the reception was less than polite.
Clinton returned to campus to participate in a women-led democracy summit and to acknowledge the honor of a college building named after her, the Hillary Rodham Clinton Center for Citizenship, Leadership, and Democracy.
Wellesley College alum Hillary Rodham Clinton (’69) is in town this weekend to launch the Hillary Rodham Clinton Center for Citizenship, Leadership, and Democracy with a one-day summit on Saturday, April 6 called Renewing Democracy: Women Leading the Way.
The exclusive event about democracy…. isn’t open to the public, and registration for the live stream has passed. The College kept promotion limited, issuing a press release on the day of the event itself.
The summit is described by organizers as exploring “the challenges facing democracy in the U.S. and abroad and highlight the many ways leaders are working toward democratic renewal. ” It will feature mostly women speakers, including Nobel Peace Prize recipients Leymah Gbowee (Liberian peace activist) and Maria Ressa (a Filipino and American journalist who co-founded the online news site Rappler).
Pro-Palestine protesters, however, were lined up to harass Clinton and other attendees.
Students circulated pamphlets on campus saying Clinton is Wellesley’s “most beloved war criminal” and arguing that she has “blood on her hands.”
The New York Times reports, “The overall reception on Saturday was decidedly more mixed. Signs hoisted at the protests appeared to respond to Mrs. Clinton’s statements in recent months opposing a cease-fire agreement in the Israel-Hamas war. “Hillary for Women Unless They’re Palestinian,” read one. “Hillary, Hillary, you’re a liar; we demand a cease-fire,” protesters chanted as summit attendees filed into the Diana Chapman Walsh Alumnae Hall. Most of those demonstrating wore medical masks to partially obscure their faces; several were draped in the black-and-white kaffiyehs that have become symbolic of the pro-Palestinian movement.”
Protestors also interrupted Clinton during the panel, with one protester shouting that Mrs. Clinton is indifferent to violence against Palestinians.
Clinton replied, “We’re having a discussion. I’m perfectly happy to meet you after this event and talk with you,” before the young woman was escorted out of the hall.

The Henry Jackson Society, a counter-extremism think-tank, and J.L. Partners conducted the largest survey of British Muslims since the October 7 Hamas terror attacks on Israeli civilians.
The survey revealed that only one in four British Muslims believe that Hamas committed rape and murder in October, and just under half of those surveyed, 46 percent, said they sympathize with Hamas.
Over half of those surveyed, 52 percent, want to make it illegal to show a picture of the Prophet Mohammed, with over a third supporting the implementation of Shariah law in the UK.
Fiyaz Mughal, founder of Muslims Against Antisemitism and the interfaith group Faith Matters, told the Sunday Telegraph that the findings are “shocking but also not shocking.”
He said: “The sense that Hamas did not conduct massacres and rapes in Israel is atrocious because it shows a closed-off mentality of anything emanating from Israel.”
The survey, carried out by polling company J L Partners, also found that 46 per cent of British Muslims say Jews have too much power over UK government policy (compared to 16 per cent of the general public) while 41 per cent said Jews have too much power in the media and 39 per cent said Jews have too much power in the UK’s financial system.
Mughal said the findings confirm that “a lot of work needs to be done to inform, challenge, and address old antisemitic tropes,” adding that a failure on the part of the government to invest in better guidance for teachers and education establishments risks “a social cohesion problem.”
In a disturbing trend of radicalization among youth, younger and well-educated Muslims appeared the most likely to think Hamas did not commit atrocities that day.
Only a few weeks after October 7, tens of thousands of protesters marched in London against Israel.
Watch:

Tania Fernandez Anderson is a far-left Boston City Councilor for District 7 and the first Muslim to serve on the Boston City Council.
Anderson also lectures about the importance of “accountability” for public servants.
According to the Boston Herald, Anderson stated, “The roles and responsibilities of Boston city councilors are fundamental to the effective governance of our city, impacting the lives of residents and shaping the future of our communities.”
She added, “It is imperative to establish clear metrics to assess the performance of Boston city councilors in fulfilling their duties to their constituents, necessitating the implementation of measurable criteria such as responsiveness to constituent inquiries, attendance at meetings and hearings, and effectiveness in advancing key policy objectives.”
A recent report uncovers that Anderson’s focus on accountability does not seem to extend to herself.
However, Fernandes Anderson “has logged seven absences at regular weekly City Council meetings since taking office in January 2022, putting her at the bottom of the pack according to publicly-posted meeting minutes that track attendance,” per the report.
The Boston city councilor has stated that absences were an example of an “imperative” metric to track what public officials are doing.
Certain accountability metrics, Fernandes Anderson wrote, “could provide valuable insights into the effectiveness of governance mechanisms, highlight areas for improvement, and foster a culture of openness and responsiveness within institutions.”
Anderson made headlines in 2022 when she called for the city to declare Mahsa Amini’s birthday as Boston Hijab Day.
Amini was murdered by Iranian Regime thugs while in police custody for not wearing a hijab.

On Thursday, the Rutgers University Student Assembly held a town hall event where two BDS (boycott, divest, and sanction) referendums were up for a vote.
The referendums would sever ties with Tel Aviv University and divest from anything connected to Israel.
The event was disrupted by a group of “out of control” pro-Palestinian protesters shrieking anti-Israel slogans like “one solution, intifada revolution.”

The meeting ended early, and Jewish students were ushered out by police.
A student spoke with Fox News Digital telling the outlet that “Rutgers President Jonathan Holloway and administrators ‘ran away,’ ‘leaving behind the Jewish/pro-Israel students to deal with an unruly and obviously antisemitic crowd, whose attention turned to the Jews after the administration left.'”
“They said police then ushered students out the back door because it was too dangerous to exit the front door.”
Jewish students, who had come to the town hall to discuss their safety on campus with officials, were abandoned by the university president in a room full of radicals calling for the annihilation of the Jewish state.
Rutgers alumnus Bethany S. Mandel shared videos from the event.
“Tonight at @RutgersU the President held a town hall with students. It devolved into anarchy, and he fled with half the police present. Jewish students who came to ask about how the admin would keep them safe on campus were left to beg the remaining police to escort them out.”

TikTok’ influencer’ and Venezuelan illegal Leonel Moreno loved to brag on social media about how to take advantage of and openly mock Americans.
Moreno crossed the border illegally at Eagle Pass, Texas, in April 2022 on Joe Biden’s open border invitation.
One video he shared told illegal aliens how to invade American homes and invoke Squatter’s rights.
“If a house is not inhabited, we can seize it,” Moreno said in the video, which has millions of views.
He was on the run and evading evading authorities but ultimately was arrested by ICE.

Now, Moreno is whining to The New York Post that he is being “persecuted.”
Cry me a Rio Grande river.
The jailed Venezuelan “migrant influencer” who viciously mocked America to his 500,000 TikTok followers and urged border crossers to “invade abandoned houses” now misses the glorious liberties he enjoyed in the US – whining to The Post this week that “I miss my freedom!”
Leonel Moreno moaned that he is a victim of unjust “persecution” Wednesday during a 30-minute-long video televisit from inside Geauga County Jail in Chardon, Ohio.
“I came here to the United States because of persecution in my country … But they’re doing the same thing to me in the United States – persecuting me,” Moreno, 27, wailed.
In the interview, conducted in Spanish while he hid his face from the video camera, he added, “It’s all misinformation in the media about me. They’re defaming me. They’re misrepresenting me in the news … I am a good father, a good husband, a good son, a good person, humble, respectful to people who respect me.”
Humble?

Frank Pavone, National Director of Priests for Life, prays daily for America. On Friday, he shared a powerful message about America and how cowardly Democrats are.
We will make America great again. Friends, welcome. Pro-life Leader Frank Pavone here, Director of Priests for Life, one of the nation’s largest pro-life groups. Thank you for coming to Praying for America. That’s what we’re going to do here. We have a lot to pray about. We know how to make our country great again. We know how to win elections. We’ve got to work on this harder than ever before. I’m going to give you a little bit of an insight into some of the developments on some of the issues that have some people scared, but we really shouldn’t be afraid at all. We’ve got to take new courage and move forward in this battle. So just a few reflections on some of the the cultural issues involved in this election. I want to go to, as we always do, to the word of God to start our program off tonight. Matthew 10, starting with verse 26. Jesus says, So have no fear of them, for nothing is covered that will not be revealed or hidden that will not be made known. What I tell you in the dark, say in the light. And what you hear whispered, proclaim on the rooftops.
Do not fear those who kill the body but cannot kill the soul. Rather, fear him who can destroy both soul and body in hell. Are not two sparrows sold for a penny? And not one of them will fall to the ground apart from your father. But even the hairs on your head are all numbered. Fear not then. You are worth more than many sparrows. Everyone who acknowledges me before men, I also will acknowledge before my Father who is in heaven. But whoever denies me before men, I will also deny before my Father who is in heaven. Let us pray. Lord, we acknowledge tonight that making America great again requires speaking up. Saving our nation and praying for America requires speaking for America and speaking up for the gospel values on which America has been based from its founding. Lord, give us your spirit of courage, the spirit who gives speech to our lips. As we recall his coming at Pentecost, Lord God, we remember that he came as tongues of fire, tongues imparting passionate speech to those men who until then were afraid. Passionate speech that enabled people to hear the good news in their own languages.
Passionate speech that has continued for over 2000 years of the proclamation of the gospel. Bless us, Father, that the praying that we do for America may always translate into speaking for America with the courage and with the confidence that you ask us to have in your word and in your message. We pray through Christ our Lord. Amen. Friends, they’re cowards. Those who are on the wrong side of the social issues in this election, in this nation, are essentially cowards. And I want you I want to understand that and let it inspire you with the confidence that we should have. I’m going to start here by referring to a post that Charlie Kirk put up recently. We just had this ridiculous scenario at Easter time with Biden proclaiming it as the day of transgender visibility. Now, is this not just a confirmation of everything that we’ve been saying that the Democrat Party hates our values and that this election is, as more and more citizens have been saying, clearly just good versus evil. It transcends all other divisions that we have, and therefore it demands a spiritual response.
*********
This is a presidential election year. Far more people come out to vote in a presidential election year. We are redder and redder here in Florida. We’ve been breaking all kinds of records in terms of the numbers of Republicans registered and the margin of advantage that we have over Democrats. And there’s another element in this presidential election year, of course, which is that President Trump is on the ballot, and that will bring out a lot of unlikely Voters. We do a lot of polling based on likely voters. You got to look at the unlikely voters. He brings out a lot of unlikely voters. And by and large, I’m not saying that this is the case 100%. It’s not 100%. But by and large, these people are going to be on the right side of these social and cultural issues. We’ve got a lot of work to do to educate people as to what these things mean. But what do I mean when I say the other side are cowards? Two things. One of them I’ve explained to you before is that, look, they’re bypassing the legislative process. When you put something into the Constitution, you’re not just setting a policy.
You’re saying all the laws going forward from this point on have to be within these boundaries. And if you say you can’t limit or restrict or delay abortion, then no pro-life laws can be introduced to do anything like that. So why would you stifle the debate? Because they’re cowards. They don’t want to have the debate. That’s what we got to see through here. They’re angry that Roe v Wade was reversed because now the issue is actually thrown back to the American people and their lawmakers to debate. The other side doesn’t want to have a debate on this. And listen, you understand well, this is the same thing with the other issues, too. They don’t want to have an honest debate about what’s going on at the border. They don’t even want to look at the border. The Democrats don’t want to go to the border. They don’t want people to see what’s happening at the border. They don’t want to admit what’s happening at the border. Understand, they’re cowards about that. They’re cowards about all these other issues, and they are the same way on abortion. Don’t think that, Oh, they can’t win by talking about the border, so they’ll win by talking about abortion.
No, no, no, no, no, Just as cowardly about that. They put on a bravada. Oh, yeah, let’s talk about… Let’s bring the abortion issue front and center because we can win on it. Except that they don’t talk about abortion. The strategy, the cowardness is the same, and their modus operandi is the same. It’s just a little twist of difference is that they make a pretense of talking about abortion, but they don’t talk about it. They don’t talk about it. Reproductive rights, reproductive freedom. You look at the speeches. They’re doing this abortion tour. Kamala Harris is going around, Oh, Reproductive Freedom Tour. Given all these speeches, she visited an abortion facility. Biden gives his speeches about reproductive freedom. He mentions it in the State of the Union, mentions that. What is the killing of these babies? He didn’t express it in those terms. Before he mentions the overriding problem of the border, immigration, crime, etc. Their priorities are all screwed up. But they don’t talk about what abortion is. And that’s how we make this a winning issue for us. It’s like, you guys want to describe what you defend? They never describe what they defend.
They’re cowards about it. That’s our strength. That’s their weakness. Women don’t get abortions because of freedom of choice. They get them because they feel they have no freedom and no choice. You want to talk about abortion? Let’s talk about how to help these women choose life. We’re the ones who are serving them. We have four times as many pregnancy centers as the other side has abortion clinics. We’re the ones that are helping these people. And most Americans agree that it’s a good thing when a mother has her baby instead of kills her baby. We’ve got the people with us on that, brothers and sisters. And when a politician comes forward, when a candidate comes forward and says, Look, I’m pro-life, and I want to help moms say yes to the life of their babies. I want to help them. Yes, I admit, of some exceptions, President Trump has been saying that. All the pro-life presidents have said that, and just about every pro-life candidate. That doesn’t mean that they’re saying it’s morally acceptable. They’re saying, I can’t make progress in the political arena without taking account of where the people actually are at, because that’s how politics and public policy making work.

On Sunday, the Israeli military said it has reduced its ground troops in the southern Gaza Strip following the conclusion of its monthslong operation in the city of Khan Younis.
In the statement, the IDF said it was pulling its 98th commando division “to recuperate and prepare for future operations.”
NBC News reports, “The Nahal brigade and the 162nd division remain in Gaza, which the IDF describes as ‘a significant force’ that will continue to ‘operate in the Gaza Strip, and will preserve the IDF’s freedom of action and its ability to conduct precise intelligence based operations.'”
The Nahal Brigade is focues on securing the “Netzarim Corridor,” which crosses Gaza from the Be’eri area in southern Israel to the Strip’s coast.
The corridor enables the IDF to carry out raids in northern and central Gaza, prevents Palestinians from returning to the northern part of the Strip, and allows humanitarian organizations to deliver aid directly to northern Gaza.
Hours after the withdrawal, five rockets were fired from the Khan Younis area at communities near the Gaza border.
According to the IDF, some of the rockets were intercepted by the Iron Dome air defense system. There were no reports of injuries or damage.
Five rockets were fired from Khan Younis at Israeli communities hours after IDF withdrew its troops.
Not even a day and we see that Hamas will attack again at the first opportunity.

On Saturday, Let Women Speak (LWS), an organization defending biological women from the radical trans agenda, held a rally in Edinburgh, Scotland.
The rally was led by LWS founder Kellie-Jay Keen-Minshull, who said her purpose was to “test the law” to see how the police would handle gender-critical chants in light of Scotland’s new hate crime legislation.
Speaking to the crowd, Keen-Minshull described transitioning children as “profound abuse” and called Scotland’s hate crime laws “preposterous.”
The fascist “hate crime” law went into effect on April 1.
Sky News reports:
The Hate Crime and Public Order (Scotland) Act came into force on Monday 1 April and aims to provide greater protection for victims and communities. It consolidates existing legislation and introduces new offences for threatening or abusive behaviour which is intended to stir up hatred based on prejudice towards characteristics such as age, disability, religion, sexual orientation and transgender identity.
The new provisions add to the laws on the statute book for race, which have been in place UK-wide since 1986. Sex has been omitted from the act as a standalone bill designed to tackle misogyny is expected to be laid before the Scottish parliament at a later date.
During the rally, LWS faced vocal opposition from various pro-transgender groups.
While Ms Keen publicly thanked Police Scotland “for keeping women safe at the event”, many among her supporters were left angry and frustrated. Several complained about being “corralled” into too small a space while being surrounded on three sides by trans activists hurling abuse at them throughout the two-hour event.
They were labelled “Nazis” by mega-phone wielding trans activists close to where the women were gathered and at one point officers “contained” the section of trans activists as they shouted and chanted insults at the women. Many women told of their anger and anxiety at being “kettled” and encircled by a hostile crowd with whistles, sirens, mega phones and horns in a bid to drown out the women’s event.
While angry, masked men with loudspeakers, sirens, & abusive signs hung over the barriers to intimidate, antagonise and silence women, @policescotland put hands on women to physically move them at the demand of trans activists.

Kid Rock has never been shy about sharing his political views.
On Friday, he joined Laura Ingraham on Fox News Channel’s “The Ingraham Angle.” The Michigan native told Ingraham that President Trump would win his home state in the November election just like he did in 2016.
“What do you think is going to happen in Michigan, though?” Ingraham asked. “I mean, your home state going to wake up and decide, no mas, we’re not going to kill our auto industry with EVs, and he’s going to win it.”
He replied, “Trump’s winning. Trump’s winning Michigan. I mean, the auto workers are smart enough to know that EVs mean you’re getting replaced with a robot.”
“They’re smart enough to know that. Everyone has Google.com. They can search it, whatever, like they know that this is coming. You know, I applaud what Elon Musk is doing. I think that guy is a genius. But in terms of Michigan, we’re going to make cars where we’re going to keep the industrial revolution alive. And we might have to innovate and go past that where things are going now. Am I getting off base here?”
He continued, “[M]ichigan is the melting pot of America. When people came from the South after, you know, the Industrial Revolution, the Civil War, this that and the other, and they stopped in Chicago, and they came to Detroit to make a living wage, this that and the other. They’ve stuck around. There’s been generations there, including my family.”
Kid took a jab at Joe Biden’s statement to Charlamagne tha God on The Breakfast Club before the 2020 election Biden uttered the racist statement, “If you have a problem figuring out whether you’re for me or Trump, then you ain’t Black.”
Kid told Ingraham, “I’m going to do the opposite. I’m going to do the opposite of Biden. I mean, if you don’t fight….if you don’t vote for Donald Trump, you ain’t from Michigan.”

A former Conservative Party of Canada (CPC) Member of Parliament, Kenny Chiu, recently shared concerns after learning he was the target of Chinese Communist Party (CCP) agents.
During a public inquiry looking into alleged meddling in Canada’s two most recent federal elections by the CCP, Chiu learned he was a target of the CCP and shared, “I have been betrayed.”
Adding, “That is how I see it.”

Rebel News reports that Chiu testified that the federal government “left him to drown” when Chinese agents allegedly targeted his campaign.
“The government doesn’t seem to care,” Chiu said on Wednesday at the Commission on Foreign Interference.
“There is a strong case to be made there was a degree of influence exerted by an outside actor in the Chinese community during the 44th general election,” alleged the Conservative Party in a secret Memorandum For The Clerk Of The Privy Council.
According to Chiu, he was never shown copies of any security warnings that he was a target of CCP agents. He subsequently lost his re-election in 2021 to the Liberal candidate Pam Bains by 3,477 votes.
In the past, Chiu had suspected that there were indeed CCP operatives working to undermine his campaign.
The Foreign Interference Commission, as it is known is being headed by Justice Marie-Josée Hogue, who had earlier said that she and her lawyers will remain “impartial” and will not be influenced by politics and began on January 29.
In January, Hogue said that she would “uncover the truth whatever it may be.”
Numerous internal memos have been released by the Commission that show that the Canadian Security Intelligence Service (CSIS) as well as others deemed that Chiu was indeed targeted by foreign agents of the CCP.
When asked by Commission Counsel Matthew Ferguson asked if he was “aware of any of these reports at the time? A clearly concerned Chiu replied, “No.”
Retired CSIS Assistant Director Cherie Henderson says the agency is “very alive” to foreign interference and seems well aware of the ways it targets diaspora communities inside Canada.

In October of 2023, The Gateway Pundit reported on an investigation by CBC News’ The Fifth Estate that for decades, the Canadian government, with direction “from Ottawa at the highest level,” has assisted Chinese law enforcement in pursuit of fugitive Chinese nationals living abroad.
Questions surrounding potential Chinese control and interference in Canada have been raised publicly.
Canadian Prime Minister Justin Trudeau is facing a potentially damning ‘foreign influence inquest’ that could also unearth Chinese ties damaging to the PM and his party.

J.K. Rowling has long been a target of extreme hate and frequent death threats from trans activists and the woke mob for her unwavering belief that men cannot become women.
The Gateway Pundit has reported on the transgender community and their allies directing their rage against Rowling for the sin of expressing her personal opinions on transgender issues.
You’ve asked me several questions on this thread and accused me of avoiding answering, so here goes.
I believe a woman is a human being who belongs to the sex class that produces large gametes. It’s irrelevant whether or not her gametes have ever been fertilised, whether or not she’s carried a baby to term, irrelevant if she was born with a rare difference of sexual development that makes neither of the above possible, or if she’s aged beyond being able to produce viable eggs. She is a woman and just as much a woman as the others.
I don’t believe a woman is more or less of a woman for having sex with men, women, both or not wanting sex at all. I don’t think a woman is more or less of a woman for having a buzz cut and liking suits and ties, or wearing stilettos and mini dresses, for being black, white or brown, for being six feet tall or a little person, for being kind or cruel, angry or sad, loud or retiring. She isn’t more of a woman for featuring in Playboy or being a surrendered wife, nor less of a woman for designing space rockets or taking up boxing. What makes her a woman is the fact of being born in a body that, assuming nothing has gone wrong in her physical development (which, as stated above, still doesn’t stop her being a woman), is geared towards producing eggs as opposed to sperm, towards bearing as opposed to begetting children, and irrespective of whether she’s done either of those things, or ever wants to.
Womanhood isn’t a mystical state of being, nor is it measured by how well one apes sex stereotypes. We are not the creatures either porn or the Bible tell you we are. Femaleness is not, as trans woman Andrea Chu Long wrote, ‘an open mouth, an expectant asshole, blank, blank eyes,’ nor are we God’s afterthought, sprung from Adam’s rib.
Women are provably subject to certain experiences because of our female bodies, including different forms of oppression, depending on the cultures in which we live. When trans activists say ‘I thought you didn’t want to be defined by your biology,’ it’s a feeble and transparent attempt at linguistic sleight of hand. Women don’t want to be limited, exploited, punished, or subject to other unjust treatment because of their biology, but our being female is indeed defined by our biology. It’s one material fact about us, like having freckles or disliking beetroot, neither of which are representative of our entire beings, either. Women have billions of different personalities and life stories, which have nothing to do with our bodies, although we are likely to have had experiences men don’t and can’t, because we belong to our sex class.
Some people feel strongly that they should have been, or wish to be seen as, the sex class into which they weren’t born. Gender dysphoria is a real and very painful condition and I feel nothing but sympathy for anyone who suffers from it. I want them to be free to dress and present themselves however they like and I want them to have exactly the same rights as every other citizen regarding housing, employment and personal safety. I do not, however, believe that surgeries and cross-sex hormones literally turn a person into the opposite sex, nor do I believe in the idea that each of us has a nebulous ‘gender identity’ that may or might not match our sexed bodies. I believe the ideology that preaches those tenets has caused, and continues to cause, very real harm to vulnerable people.
I am strongly against women’s and girls’ rights and protections being dismantled to accommodate trans-identified men, for the very simple reason that no study has ever demonstrated that trans-identified men don’t have exactly the same pattern of criminality as other men, and because, however they identify, men retain their advantages of speed and strength. In other words, I think the safety and rights of girls and women are more important than those men’s desire for validation.
I sincerely hope that answers your questions. You may still disagree, but as I hope this shows, I’m more than happy to have this debate.
You’ve asked me several questions on this thread and accused me of avoiding answering, so here goes.

Tucker Carlson recently interviewed former ESPN correspondent Sage Steele.
Steel was suspended in 2021 and ultimately fired for comments criticizing ESPN for its vaccine mandate and rebuking former President Obama for identifying as Black instead of biracial during an interview on former NFL quarterback Jay Cutler’s podcast.
Carlson interviewed Steele to discuss
Tucker Carlson: Sage Steele worked at ESPN as an anchor as a host for almost 17 years, and she was good at her job. That’s why she stayed so long. But there was one problem, Sage Steele decided to say what she really thinks in a pretty gentle, measured way, but still. For example, in 2021, she went on a podcast and hammered ESPN for its vaccine mandate, called it sick and scary, which it was. On that same podcast. She committed the real sin, and she asked an obvious question why does Barack Obama call himself black when he’s actually biracial? He’s as white as he is black. Well, you can’t say that it turns out. ESPN pulled her off the air for ten days. Why? Interesting question. Steele then made ESPN even madder when she said that the man in the bathing suit, Lia Thomas, was winning all the swimming competitions was not, in fact, a female swimmer. So behind the scenes, ESPN said, you’d better be quiet about the trans issues. In fact, sent a letter saying it’s totally fine to talk about trans issues as long as you don’t misgender someone. In other words, you can disagree as long as you don’t disagree with the people you’re arguing with, you have to accept the terms of the trans activist you’re criticizing, or else you’re a thought criminal. Watch this…
Tucker then shared Steele’s interview with Riley Gaines. When Gaines asked Steele about the support she felt from women since speaking out against biological men in women’s sports, her answer was simple: None.
Tucker: None! Absolutely none! But she does have good people around her because she herself is a good person. She’s gone from ESPN, she settled a lawsuit with them, and now she joins us in the studio. It is such an honor to have you here.
Sage Steele: Thank you. This is my honor. Thank you.
Tucker: What a great response. Tell us about the support you’ve received from women. And none, absolutely none. Is it true?
Steele: Women supporting women…you know how that goes.
Tucker: I do know how it goes.
Steele: I know, and I will say throughout my career, I think that’s the overall most disappointing thing is that and especially in the sports world, where when I started like dinosaur years, no internet, you know, I was always the only woman in the locker rooms. The most support I received from was definitely from my male peers.
Tucker: Because they like women.
Steele: Well, it wasn’t like that. I was married.
Tucker: No, no, I don’t mean in a creepy way. It’s just there is. No, I don’t mean that. Actually, I didn’t mean it sexually. It’s just like men are kind of programmed to have affection for women. I mean, they just are.
Steele: But I also think they they weren’t threatened. I mean, especially early on in my career. But even at ESPN, I was excited because where I was before in DC, I was I was the only mother. So I was excited to be around women who are a little bit older and could maybe, you know, part of the club and take care of each other. As a mother, first and foremost, forget about, you know, the broadcast because that is competitive. So I think, you know, the big picture is women preach this all the time and it’s like, oh, the men holding us down in the glass ceiling. And I every time I speak publicly at an event or whatever, I make sure I bring this up because I’m very passionate about it. As the mother of two girls. And they’re, you know, college age kids too. But, you know, we complain about the guys, but look in the mirror, what do we do to each other first and foremost?
Tucker: Well, I’ve seen it a lot. I’ve had a lot of female bosses a lot. And every single one of them has been nice to me. I’m just being honest, too. I mean, some were good, some were not good, most are not that great, but some were fine. They’re always nice to me. Always nice. They were savage to the women on staff and I always noticed that are mean to the women. What is?
Steele: They pit us against each other. They really do. Which again is just unfortunate. But to me. Okay, fine own that. If you don’t like the other women, but then to be hypocritical and go on social media and talk about, let’s uplift each other and listen, I wasn’t trying to call people out, but over the last eight months, maybe probably a year, I when I started to support Riley Gaines. And certainly the whole transgender sports issue, I said women, we don’t realize our power if we as women in the media, let’s just say women in sports media, because this is a sports issue, came together to say, no, no, no, we’ve been fighting for so long for women in sports and for salaries to be equal at times. You know, you look at the women’s national soccer team versus the men and the ratings they brought in versus the men. There are some things, yeah, like we are fighting for women and then to be silent when it comes here.
Like ESPNW, is part of the ESPN network. That W is for women. They spend millions of dollars on a, a big summit like a get together of women every single year. And on the stage it’s women and promoting women and promoting diverse thought with women and supporting them. So then when the biggest issue really of the last, I don’t know, several decades comes up after all the Title IX fights, we as sports media women, remain silent? To me, the hypocrisy was too thick to ignore.
Tucker: Yeah, and sounds in a kind of like a North Korean way. Like nobody would disagree even a little bit.
Steele: No…and then I found out. Yeah. More from my employer like “zip it” and I, and so I made sure that night when I received that email, which was, while I’m in the middle of a free speech lawsuit against that company, I made sure and sent another email, ‘Are you going to tell me to not support women?”
Tucker: This is like the most Orwellian sentence. I alluded to it in the intro, but here it is, “While civil discourse on the issue of transgender athletes competing in women’s sports is both appropriate and beneficial, that discourse needs to be fact based and should not rely on personal attacks, insults, derogatory or crude language, or misgendering others.”
Haha. So you can disagree.
As long as you accept their premise.
Steele: As long as you follow the narrative. And listen, I knew that, but to me this just was this was simple and it was a no-brainer.
Tucker: They put that in writing. That’s real right?
Steele: And then it continued. And you might offend people at our company who are in the LGBTQ community. By what? By supporting women? Because there’s a difference between attacking the transgender community and supporting women. I have never and would never do. That’s not in my heart, because I have empathy for for transgender people who want to compete. But the answer is not to take from the women that for over 50 years, Billie Jean King, title nine. This is not the answer. And I had no idea that that would be controversial. To stand up for women.
Tucker: Isn’t one of my, a female relative of mine said to me the other day, I thought it was kind of brilliant, like the whole trans thing really is just another triumph of men over women. Does anybody ever say that?

According to reports, former First Lady Melania Trump is returning to the campaign trail for an upcoming event after taking time to mourn the death of her beloved mother in early January.
Fox News reports that she will be attending a fundraiser for the Log Cabin Republicans, a group Mrs. Trump has a close relationship with, at Mar-a-Lago in late April
The event would mark her first public fundraising event in months and follows comments last month when she replied, “ stay tuned” when asked when she would return to the campaign trail.
According to an invitation obtained by Politico, the host committee for the event includes Republican donors Saul Fox, Amanda Schumacher, Bill White, Bryan Eure, and former ambassador to Germany and acting director of national intelligence for President Trump, Richard Grenell.
In 2021, she accepted the Lincoln Award from the organization at the annual Spirit of Lincoln Gala at Mar-a-Lago.
President Trump shared a tribute to his wife last week on Truth Social.

The managing editor of the Babylon Bee, Joel Berry, spotted a disturbing thread on Reddit where trans activists debated which would further their cause best: engaging in mass suicide or committing mass genocide of “cis” people.
“Cisgender” is used to describe someone who identifies with biology, i.e., they identify with their actual biological sex at birth.
Berry spotted the thread and shared it on X.

“What’s the downside to killing yourself gruesomely in public?” one poster asked. “I feel like society has to know. has to own up for its mistakes on transgender people. I might go down the Aaron Bushnell method and do some self immolation in like a public mall or something. maybe in front of a government building, or maybe with a shotgun (although I am a minor and I can’t access this…unfortunately. Please. any tips would be greatly appreciated. Its over for me as I was destined for a life of midshit mediocracy but with this I can become a martyr and leader of the transgender revolution.”
A poster replied, “Honestly, if this is where to hypothetically happen Cissies would not listen, they’d just label it another mentally ill tranny. instead We gotta work to create a transethnostate.”
Another poster laid out a more permanent solution, “Hmmmmm how about cis genocide instead. why kill ourselves when we can fight back?”
It appears discussing the mass murder of people who radical trans activists oppose does not violate Redditt’s terms of service.
And of course none of this violates Reddit’s terms of service

Dolton, Illinois, Mayor Tiffany Henyard is under FBI investigation for abusing her power after she shut down businesses that didn’t donate to her campaign.
She has also been accused of stealing charitable funds and even using taxpayer dollars for personal use. No wonder residents call her the “worst mayor in America.”
In March, Henyard reportedly vetoed an investigation, unanimously approved by The Dolton Village Board, into allegations that she misused funds for lavish expenses and a costly $1 million security detail.
Now, a group of Dolton trustees hopes to hire failed former Chicago Mayor Lori Lightfoot, who let her city burn with rampant crime and violence, to investigate Henyard for a hefty $400 an hour.
The latest investigation stems from a May 2023 taxpayer-funded trip to Las Vegas that resulted in allegations of serious misconduct and claims that Henyard retaliated against an aide and a police officer who reported alleged sexual misconduct on the part of a village trustee.
The trip, initially billed as an opportunity for economic development, involved Henyard, Village Trustees and personnel from Dolton and Thornton Township. However, upon Henyard’s return, there was allegedly a notable lack of communication regarding any potential economic benefits or events from the trip.
The Board of Trustees also recently learned of sexual assault allegations made by a former Village employee against one of Dolton’s elected trustees during the Las Vegas trip.
It is alleged that Henyard and her administration have attempted to conceal these allegations and their reporting, raising questions about transparency and accountability within the village.
The Las Vegas Police Department began a criminal investigation into the allegations, but Henyard’s administration claims to have conducted an “independent” investigation but refuses to share the results with the Village Board.
In addition to an investigation into the trip, the Board also seeks clarity on financial matters over the last year that Henyard has refused to provide information for including banking records and accounting details.

Maya Mikdashi, an Associate Professor of Women’s, Gender, and Sexuality Studies and a lecturer in the Program for Middle East Studies at Rutgers University, participated in a recent discussion where she claims accurately describing Hamas’ brutalization of LGBTQ Palestinians should be labeled “homophobic violence.”
Mikdashi participated in a discussion titled “Palestine is a Feminist and Queer Anti-Imperialist Abolition Struggle,” where she pushed back on the complaint that Palestinians and Hamas mistreat LGBTQ citizens.
She was joined by University of Illinois professor Nadine Naber.
Mikdashi’s claim? The mere assertion of Hamas’ brutality against LGBTQ people is itself a form of bigotry.
“So I’ve been at protests where I’m then told, ‘Don’t you know what Hamas would do to you, if you were in Palestine.’ And we have to start naming this, actually, as homophobic,” Mikdashi said, as Naber vocally agreed. “You cannot rehearse violence to queer people and be like, ‘don’t you know … A, B, you would be…’ in really excruciating detail. I think we have to actually shift it.”
“It’s violence,” an audience member said.
“It’s homophobic. It’s violent,” Mikdashi agreed.
“Homophobic violence,” Naber affirmed.
“And we have to move it from thinking only in terms of pinkwashing to actually understanding pinkwashing as a form of homophobia,” Mikdashi said.
Naber further suggested that the concept was based on a “racist assumption” that Arab culture is “hyper-misogynist.”
She insisted that Israel is guilty of sexual assault based on its “colonialist founding,” saying, “[I]ndeed the practices of rape and sexual assault that have been well-documented during the founding of Israel and continued today are not an exception or a secondary impact of colonial violence but are part of the settler colonial White supremacist logics and practices of Israel that conflate colonized women with the land and nature and assume that therefore to dominate the land necessitates dominating Palestinian women’s bodies and their reproductive capacities from 1948 until today.”
Watch:
Naber argues that it is racist to believe that Arab culture is hyper misogynistic or values honor. She states that Israel uses rape to prevent Hamas militants from attacking.

On Thursday, Chicago Mayor Brandon Johnson called for work permits for half a million illegals in Illinois.
Why worry about out-of-work and suffering American citizens when you can make illegals the priority.
Johnson further boasted that his city, in constant chaos from rampant crime and urban decay, could continue to absorb even more illegals and “conservatively” welcome another 400,000 to 700,000.
During a roundtable with urban business leaders, Johnson said, “We need the president to extend the same economic opportunities long term for our undocumented brothers and sisters, so they can build a better life here in the city of Chicago or wherever else they decide to live.”
“I want to make this emphatically clear: Chicago will never turn its back on people who wish to call the city of Chicago their home,” he added.
Johnson, whose one-year anniversary as mayor was also Thursday, said he penned a letter to the Biden administration, pushing harder for additional work permits, with the support of dozens of other city mayors, including Denver, New York, Seattle and San Francisco.
“I remain standing in my belief that a more inclusive and equitable future for all residents is truly possible, whether they arrived here yesterday or have been here for an extended period of time,” he said.
The mayor added that even though the “humanitarian crisis” continues to overwhelm and “test the city,” officials will not “waver in their commitment to the immigrant communities.”
In February, mayors from more than 40 cities sent a letter to Homeland Security Secretary Alejandro Mayorkas urging the administration to grant more permits for additional arrivals and also extend existing ones.
The letter urged asked in part, “To that end, we urge you to implement a permanent work permit extension that is 540 days. If DHS does not implement a permanent change to the automatic extension, any temporary extension should be for a period of no less than three years, to allow sufficient time for USCIS to work through the extensive work permit renewal backlog. We ask that you act swiftly so that the communities we represent do not experience the destabilizing effects of immigrant workers falling out of the workforce.”

Just after the October 7 Hamas terrorist attacks on Israeli civilians, a brawl broke out at Tulane University during an unauthorized pro-Hamas rally. A Hamas sympathizer viciously assaulted a pro-Israel protester.
Tulane’s student-run newspaper, The Tulane Hullaballo, reported on the incident.
Tulane’s Jewish population makes up nearly 30% of the student body.
Now, a group of nearly 100 Jewish students are sharing an open letter calling on administrators to levy disciplinary sanctions against the group Students for a Democratic Society (SDS.) The letter cites numerous alleged instances of provocations, including starting fights, antisemitic bullying of those who support Israel, and harassing a professor.
“This organization does not support democratic societies; it vehemently opposes them,” said the letter, which was first published last month. “We understand that Tulane’s administration is trying to walk a fine line of not regulating free speech while still protecting students, and we respect that. But Tulane SDS has crossed the line again and again.”
The letter continued: “The chapter at Tulane is made up of agitators looking to cause conflict and draw as much attention as possible, with many of its members not even being Tulane students. These students use the SDS organization as a cover for their hate-filled vitriol. Tulane SDS has repeatedly hailed Hamas terrorist as ‘martyrs,’ called for Zionist Jewish students to be forcibly removed from campus, and publicly doxxed and released the information of Jewish students on Instagram.”
The Jewish students, four of whom spoke with The Algemeiner on Tuesday, are most upset about what they described as SDS’s repeated utterances of antisemitic hate speech and denigration of Israeli hostages held captive in Gaza by the terrorist group Hamas. Since Hamas’ Oct. 7 massacre across southern Israel, they said, SDS has operated as a “proxy group” for Students for Justice in Palestine, which is not recognized by the university, cheering Hamas and acts of terrorism and including in their activities an older adult non-student who was recently arrested on campus.
“Antisemitism has no place at Tulane University. It is completely counter to our values,” a university spokesman said in a statement to The Algemeiner on Tuesday. “We have received multiple reports regarding the actions of the Students for Democratic Society. We are investigating these reports and will follow all of our normal processes for the adjudication of student organizations accused of misconduct. Where individual students have been named and accused of misconduct, we will also investigate.”
Iranian Jewish student Yasmeen Ohebsion, President of the Movement to Address Antisemitism at Tulane, spoke during Shabbat services in March, detailing the impact of antisemitism at the university.
Watch:
Ohebsion also testified before Congress during a Congressional Committee on Education & the Workforce to share her and her peers’ stories about experiencing antisemitism at Tulane.

A rare earthquake rocked New York City on Friday morning, swaying buildings and sending terrified residents into the streets — as the strongest tremblor to hit New York City in 130 years.
The preliminary 4.8-magnitude earthquake struck near Lebanon, New Jersey, around 10:23 a.m., the first time a major temblor hit the city since 2011.according to the US Geological Survey.
“I was doing my morning reporting, and this safe in my office, that’s a ton, starts shaking. The whole room is shaking,” said Monique Horton, who works at the Balmain store on Madison Avenue in Manhattan. “I was just freaked out. Scary, really scary. I’m a New Yorker, my whole life, 36 years, never seen anything like it.”
At the United Nations in Midtown Manhattan, a Security Council address on the Israel-Gaza conflict was interrupted as cameras began shuddering.
