A federal judge in Maryland on Thursday permanently blocked two of President Trump’s memos aimed at ending Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion (DEI) programs at universities.

Earlier this year, the Department of Education issued an ultimatum to federally funded schools: eliminate DEI programs within 14 days, or risk losing all federal funding.

The directive, detailed in a letter from the Department’s Office for Civil Rights (OCR), was in response to “pervasive and repugnant race-based preferences” that have turned America’s schools into indoctrination camps.

As Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy and European leaders prepare for talks in the White House, Russia has continued to pound targets including a deadly strike on a residential building in Kharkiv.

Just hours before the talks with US President Donald Trump, the Kharkiv strike killed seven people, including two children, and injured at least 20 others.

“Among the dead are a 1.5-year-old girl and a 16-year-old boy. The youngest injured is just 6 years old,” Kharkiv Mayor Ihor Terekhov said, declaring a citywide day of mourning.

It promises to be a day unlike any other at the White House later, when world leaders make a rare collective visit for crunch talks on Ukraine.

What had been billed as a meeting between two presidents, Donald Trump and Volodomyr Zelensky, has now become more of a summit.

Leaders from the UK, France, Germany, Italy, Finland, the EU and Nato have dashed across the Atlantic to have their say on how the three-year-old war with Russia should end and on what terms.

We witnessed the Democrat freak-out when President Donald Trump announced he was federalizing the D.C. Metropolitan Police Department (MPD) after yet another heinous, violent incident—this time the early August savage beating of former DOGE staffer “Big Balls” Edward Coristine as he tried to fend off a carjacking attempt from a mob of teens.

The corrupt mainstream media and the crime-loving progressive Democrats immediately took to every microphone and camera they could find to express their outrage over Trump’s Big Boy move, claiming that crime was way down in the District. As Trump and others pointed out to Senate Minority Leader Chuck Schumer (D-NY) and Co., if you believe that, try taking a walk around the capital at night and see if you come home in one piece.

President Donald Trump slammed Democratic Sen. Elizabeth Warren of Massachusetts for supporting Zohran Mamdani in his quest to become mayor of New York City during an Oval Office press conference Thursday, suggesting she should take a drug test.

A reporter asked Trump why Democrats “like Bernie Sanders and Elizabeth Warren” are claiming that the president is trying to cut Social Security benefits for the elderly.

“I love your question,” the commander in chief replied. “It’s so vicious, what they do. Elizabeth Warren said she was an Indian. We call her Pocahontas. She’s a liar. She lied her whole career. Based on the fact that she was an Indian, she was able to get into certain colleges, get certain jobs, get into certain universities to work there. She’s a liar and a mean person. She’s a nut job.

Conservative activists are taking a core election-integrity initiative on the road in a rallying attempt to save the SAVE Act.

On Monday, Tea Party Patriots Action will roll out its inaugural Only Citizens Vote Bus Tour, a trek covering more than a dozen states — from California to Maryland — to champion the Safeguard American Voter Eligibility Act. The bill amends the flawed National Voter Registration Act to require individuals registering to vote to provide documentary proof of citizenship before casting ballots in federal elections.

Proponents say the SAVE Act is an additional layer of election security that does not currently exist in current law. Opponents, including the vast majority of Democrats in Congress, insist there are already protections in federal law that make falsely claiming U.S. citizenship on voter registration forms a felony.

The Trump administration has directed all federal agencies to strictly uphold the Mexico City Policy, which bans all funding for groups involved in abortion-related services abroad, going so far as to destroy contraceptive supplies rather than risk having them misused by abortion-minded international aid groups.

President Donald Trump first reinstated an expanded version of the Reagan-era policy on January 24, 2025, establishing rigorous oversight to ensure that no organization receiving taxpayer dollars is able to violate the policy. This is a complete 180-degree turn from the Biden administration’s stance on this issue.

Democratic presidential hopefuls might be wise to keep their heads down and their mouths shut. Whenever one voices an opinion that aligns with the broad American mainstream, his own base punishes him for it. Meanwhile, President Donald Trump keeps laying political traps to ensure that those intraparty attacks continue.

The latest target is former Transportation Secretary Pete Buttigieg. During an episode of “Pod Save America,” co-host Jon Favreau pressed him on a Senate vote to halt weapons shipments to Israel and on how future U.S. administrations should handle relations with Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu.

On each and every issue, Trump has stood by the water and tried to lead Democrats toward the desert.

The US special envoy to Lebanon said on Monday that his team would hold talks with Israel on a long-term ceasefire after Beirut endorsed a Washington-backed plan for Hezbollah to disarm.

Following a meeting with Lebanese President Joseph Aoun in Beirut, Tom Barrack also said Washington would seek an economic proposal for post-war reconstruction in the country.

“I think the Lebanese government has done their part. They’ve taken the first step,” said Barrack. “Now what we need is for Israel to comply with that equal handshake.”

Woman Investigated for Praying at Abortion Center Blasts Police: “Silent Prayer Can’t be a Crime” – lifenews.com

English police are investigating pro-life advocate Isabel Vaughan-Spruce for a third time, accusing her of violating “buffer zones” outside an abortion facility by silently praying despite the fact that she has been acquitted twice of the same charges.

According to a news release from Alliance Defending Freedom (ADF) International, Vaughan-Spruce only learned of the third investigation when she submitted a formal complaint to the West Midlands police force, stating that police repeatedly harass and interrogate her as she silently prays every week outside an abortion facility. She also reminded the police that courts and the Crown Prosecution Service (CPS) have already declared that she cannot be charged with violating the buffer zone ordinance.

ADF International reported that the police denied her complaint due to the fact that the investigation against her is ongoing. She had not been informed of the new action against her.

If you want to know why the media shills for Hamas, rewatch this segment on CNN with Josh Rogin and Scott Jennings. The Gaza war was the topic, since Israel announced they were going in to destroy the rest of the terror group and occupy the rest of the strip.

Rogin then went on some cockamamie analysis about how Israel wants to prolong the war, the suffering, and said that if occupying Gaza would destroy Hamas, it would’ve worked by now. It hasn’t. My man, its last stronghold has been untouched by Israeli forces. They still have an enclave of control. Jennings rightly said that Hamas doesn’t want a ceasefire, and they don’t want to release the hostages. Nothing can happen until Hamas is gone, to which Rogin said, “Hamas is part of Palestinian society in all ways and forms. So, you can’t completely eliminate it.”

CNN is a silly content-creating network, though Scott Jennings and “We’re Just Wild About” Harry Enten provide us with endless amounts of entertainment. Jennings for being the sole voice of reason when his brain goes into kill mode. Enten because of the animated way he analyzes polling data. At least, when we agree with the data. Otherwise, he is fake news.

Harry looked at polling data in light of Donald Trump’s common sense Washington DC reform and Democrats finding a new 80-20 issue to be on the wrong side of. Though this one is more of a 91-9 issue.

These numbers are before Trump’s DC takeover, but of note:

  • Trump has a fourteen point swing in how he handles crime
  • There is a TWENTY-SEVEN point gap between Trump and The People Who Controlled Joe Biden
  • Republicans lead Democrats by sixteen points when it comes to handling crime

Justice Department attorneys filed two new lawsuits against the California Air Resources Board, the group responsible for making “preempted emissions standards” for heavy-duty trucks.

According to a news release from the Justice Department, the complaints align with a vow from President Donald Trump to end the electric vehicle mandate in California.

Biden administration officials had allowed CARB to impose regulations on heavy-duty trucks, but two months ago, Trump invalidated Environmental Protection Agency waivers letting California enforcing the standards.

SAN ANTONIO, Texas — In another sign of woke-fatigue, a weekend Pro-Hamas protest organized by the Party for Socialism and Liberation (PSL) only managed to draw about a dozen supporters in Texas’ second-largest city. The Saturday afternoon protest above the city’s famous riverwalk garnered little attention from the hundreds of tourists visiting the Alamo city’s famous nearby attractions.

Despite having a population of nearly 1.5 million residents in San Antonio to draw from, the protest advertised on social media by the local PSL chapter failed to attract hardly any socialist activists. The event was billed as an emergency protest to stop the starvation in Gaza and to call for an end to all U.S. aid to Israel.

President Donald Trump’s sweeping law-and-order crackdown in Washington, D.C., is delivering a major win for law-abiding residents seeking the right to protect themselves.

The president’s Making D.C. Safe and Beautiful Task Force has slashed the city’s concealed carry and firearm registration wait times from months down to mere days, all without changing local gun laws.

The task force, created via Trump’s March executive order to revitalize the capital, worked directly with local officials to streamline the process for residents navigating the District’s notoriously strict firearms system.

The media/left-wing hysteria over movie star Sydney Sweeney’s ad for American Eagle was straight out of the Twilight Zone.

I mean, who would have thought a simple commercial about jeans featuring an unapologetically curvy woman that reminded you of those Calvin Klein ads featuring actress Brooke Shields from the 1980s would have sparked a backlash centered around wokeness and anti-white racism?

Well, it indeed happened, as Legal Insurrection‘s own Leslie Eastman explained at the time:

Unfortunately, the woke and those who bitterly cling to “body positivity” and victimhood are incredibly unhappy. The elite media refers to the ads as “controversial” as they promote the hysterical and nonsensical takes on the AE campaign. But I have to say the anti-white race hate in the remarks published in the reports about this “nontroversy” is positively chilling.

After a pro-Hamas activist was recently arrested in Massachusetts for various acts of vandalism, his mommy complained that he’s innocent and just “being punished for his views on Gaza.”

Jermaiah Sawaqed was nabbed over a week ago for allegedly vandalizing the Massachusetts State House, George Washington Monument, and MIT Stata Center, according to WCVB.

Sawaqed, who’s “associated” with the “extreme anti-Zionist” group Direct Action Movement for Palestinian Liberation, was charged with vandalism, destruction of property, vandalizing a war or veterans memorial, and “possession, transportation or use of a hoax device or substance.”

The statistics are as sobering as they are predictable. According to Family Research Council, between 2018 and 2024, there have been 1,384 documented hostile acts against churches in America, including vandalism, arson, firebombings, bomb threats, and shootings. This represents an eight-fold increase from just five years prior. But for those with eyes to see, this surge was never a matter of if but when.

When a culture systematically abandons the God who gave it birth, when it tears down every sacred institution and mocks every holy thing, the inevitable result is not peaceful coexistence with God’s family but war. And that war has now come, quite literally, to our church doors.

The most recent and egregious example comes from Seattle, where 28-year-old Lebron Givaun — a newlywed who had recently surrendered his life to Christ — was gunned down in broad daylight as he arrived for a young adult service at Pursuit Church. Two masked assailants fired over 30 rounds from illegally modified automatic weapons into a crowd of families gathering for a church barbecue.

Activists marched through Washington, DC, on Saturday to protest President Donald Trump’s deployment of National Guard troops in the capital, with some clashing with law enforcement and surrounding National Guard troops stationed at the National Mall.

Protesters carried signs in English and Spanish reading “No ICE!

West Virginia Gov. Patrick Morrisey announced that he is sending hundreds of National Guard troops from his state to Washington, D.C., to assist with President Donald Trump’s crackdown on violent crime in the capital.

Trump has been targeting crime in Washington over the past week, deploying 800 D.C. National Guard troops as well as taking control of D.C. police for 30 days. Part of the latter order was scaled back on Friday, with D.C. Police Chief Pamela Smith largely resuming control of the department as opposed to DEA Administrator Terrance Cole, who the Trump administration sought to install as an emergency police commissioner.

Despite the setback, the National Guard and federal officers including from the FBI, U.S. Customs and Border Protection, and Homeland Security Investigations have continued to patrol the streets, and as of Saturday, more are set to join them.

A new report details how the Human Rights Campaign, the nation’s largest LGBT lobby, pressures hospitals into child genital mutilation and castration.

A new report from Do No Harm (DNH) titled, “How the Human Rights Campaign’s Healthcare Equality Index Infects Pediatric Hospitals with Gender Ideology,” details how HRC and its charity branch, the Human Rights Campaign Foundation (HRCF), uses a scoring index to measure a hospital’s “compliance with various tenets of gender ideology.” Hospitals lose points if they do not offer or encourage dangerous and anti-human transgender procedures such as male genital amputation, breast amputation, and fake genital construction for children.

“It is time to expose and root out the Human Rights Campaign’s vast influence over healthcare systems. Our report sheds light on how the HRC weaponized its so-called ‘Healthcare Equality Index’ to pressure pediatric hospitals into chemically and surgically castrating children,” said report author Kurt Miceli, MD, in a statement. “By capitulating to the HRC’s political scheme, hospitals have utterly betrayed patients, especially children struggling with gender dysphoria. If health systems care about providing high-quality pediatric care, then they should distance themselves from the HRC and its Index.”

The Department of Government Efficiency (DOGE) is still hard at work cutting billions of taxpayer dollars’ worth of outrageous federal contracts and grants.

In less than a week, DOGE was able to end over 120 federal contracts worth billions of dollars in savings, including a contract to provide Nigeria with a technical advisor. And last week, the agency terminated nearly 500 contracts. This is what we voted for in 2024.

DOGE posted, “Contracts Update! In the last 5 days, agencies terminated 123 wasteful contacts with a ceiling value of $5.3B and savings of $4.2B, including an $857k DOI contract for a ‘technical advisor, Lagos Nigeria’, a $1.5M Dept. of Treasury contract for ‘Word Processing and Document Formatting Services Examination Training’ for the IRS, SBSE and HCO, and a $785k State Dept. consulting contract for ‘staffing.’”

According to statistics from Planned Parenthood’s own annual report, 96.9% of pregnant people who came to its facilities had abortions. They provided support with a miscarriage only 0.9% of the time.

Planned Parenthood committed 187 abortions for every one adoption referral. They gave prenatal care to only 1.7% of pregnant people at their facilities—and that number has been dropping every year. Services for prenatal care are down 63% since 2013.

So, the vast majority of pregnant people who go to Planned Parenthood wind up getting abortions. How many of them decided on abortion before going to Planned Parenthood, and how many came in undecided and were talked into an abortion by employees, is impossible to know.
