Klaus Schwab, founder of the World Economic Forum and the face of the NGO’s elitist annual get-together in Davos, Switzerland, has resigned as chair of WEF. 

Over the decades, but especially over the past several years, the WEF’s Davos annual symposium has become a lightning rod for conservative criticism due to the agendas being pushed there by the elites. As the Associated Press noted: 

Widely regarded as a cheerleader for globalisation, the WEF’s Davos gathering has in recent years drawn criticism from opponents on both left and right as an elitist talking shop detached from lives of ordinary people.

More than 100 US universities and colleges, including Ivy League institutions Princeton and Brown, issued a joint letter on Tuesday condemning President Donald Trump’s “political interference” in the education system.

The move comes a day after Harvard University sued the Trump administration, which has threatened to cut funding and impose outside political supervision.

“We speak with one voice against the unprecedented government overreach and political interference now endangering American higher education,” the letter read.

“We are open to constructive reform and do not oppose legitimate government oversight. However, we must oppose undue government intrusion,” it said, adding: “We must reject the coercive use of public research funding.”

Police in Colorado got the shock of their lives during a routine traffic stop when they discovered a pair of Mexican Nationals with 180,000 rounds of rifle ammo in their vehicle.

The officers of the Fremont County Sheriffs Dept. pulled over Caesar Ramon Martinez Solis, 41, and Humberto Ivan Amador Gavira, 24, were driving a van with a broken license plate lamp and turned off the road in from of police without using a turn signal. The drivers also did not dim their lights from high beam while passing the police car which was going the opposite way, that being a violation of state law. All this led officers to pull the van over for a traffic stop.

They soon became suspicious of the occupants of the van and initiated a search. What they found shocked them.

“During the traffic stop, the detectives discovered approximately 150 boxes of .308 ammunition and approximately 30 boxes of 7.62 ammunition, officials said. Each box was labeled as containing 1,000 rounds,” Fox News reported.

Republicans in the House of Representatives have introduced legislation that would disarm the Internal Revenue Service and take away its millions of dollars of weapons and ammunition that it has.

The bill would prohibit the IRS from buying and storing firearms. It would also force the agency to sell its huge arsenal to licensed firearms dealers.

Per Just the News:

Since 2006, the IRS has spent $35.2 million on guns, ammunition, and military-style equipment, according to an investigation by the nonprofit Open the Books, a spending watchdog. Since 2020, the IRS bought $10 million in weaponry and gear, according to a report from the group. The report also noted that the IRS had nearly 2,100 special agents. Included in the IRS purchases were $2.3 million for ammunition, $1.2 million for ballistic shields, $474,000 for Smith & Wesson rifles, and $463,000 for Baretta 1301 tactical shotguns.

Those weapons would be auctioned off under terms of the bill, which would require the IRS to transfer its gun collection to the General Services Administration. GSA would then have to sell and auction of the firearms to licensed dealers and the ammunition to the public.

Some of the reports coming out of the U.S-Iran nuke talks are extremely disappointing. President Trump seems to have a cabal of Iran appeasers and Israel-haters in his national security team. There is a concern that they could convince President Trump to accept a substandard deal with Iran. Rubio, Waltz, Huckabee, and other sensible Trump Admin officials are going to have to fight the Iran appeasers, and make sure that only a strong deal is signed with Iran. A deal in which Iran’s nuclear program is completely dismantled.

U. Kentucky Drops Identity-Based Graduation Ceremonies– legalinsurrection.com

The idea of separate graduation ceremonies for different groups is un-American. It shouldn’t be happening anywhere.

WLKY News reports:

University of Kentucky cancels identity-based graduation ceremonies

The University of Kentucky will no longer host graduation ceremonies that recognize specific student groups, such as LGBTQ+, Black, and first-generation students.

The university said the decision was made “following a number of federal and state policy changes and directives.”

In February, the U.S. Department of Education directed all public universities receiving federal funding to cancel diversity, equity, and inclusion initiatives.

Some alumni have said they never thought their graduation ceremony, or those honoring Black and first-generation students, would face the same fate.

“I love the University of Kentucky with all my heart, but I can see why some parents might not want their children to go there in the future,” said Tuesday Meadows, the former president of PrideCats.

Arizona Democratic Party Implodes as Party Chairman Accuses Senators Kelly, Gallego of Threats and Intimidation– freebeacon.com

Excerpt:

Arizona Democratic Party chairman Robert Branscomb II accused his party’s U.S. senators of trying to intimidate and coerce him, prompting sharp rebukes from state and federal officials and pointing to a deep rupture in the state party.

Branscomb alleged in a Saturday morning email to party members that Arizona senators Mark Kelly and Ruben Gallego, both Democrats, “threatened” and “intimidated” him after he appointed an executive director who is not their preferred choice. According to Branscomb, one of the senators vowed to “no longer support or participate in state party fundraising,” while the other told Branscomb to reverse the decision or “face consequences.”

Within hours, Arizona’s Democratic officials—in a statement sent by party vice chair Aaron Marquez—fired back. The senators—along with Governor Katie Hobbs, Secretary of State Adrian Fontes, and Attorney General Kris Mayes—said that “the Chair has lost our trust” and slammed Branscomb’s accusation as “the kind of bad-faith response we’ve come to expect from leadership,” according to Arizona’s 12News.

A thief was able to steal the purse of Homeland Security Secretary Kristi Noem while she dined at a downtown Washington, D.C., restaurant on Sunday evening.

The bag contained $3,000, Noem’s driver’s license, medication, apartment keys, passport, blank checks, a makeup bag, and her DHS access badge. A spokesperson for Noem confirmed the robbery in a statement to Blaze News.

The cash was intended to be used to purchase Easter presents and activities for Noem’s family, as well as the dinner.

Noem was also approached at the White House Easter Egg Roll and asked about the incident. She confirmed the report and said that the matter had not yet been resolved.

A law enforcement source told CBS News that the Secret Service had reviewed security footage from the restaurant and saw a white male wearing a medical mask take the bag. The unknown male then left the restaurant.

A Democrat judge in New Mexico resigned last month just days after a suspected member of the violent Tren de Aragua gang was arrested at his residence.

On March 3, Judge Jose “Joel” Cano, magistrate of Doña Ana County, sent a letter to various court staff, including 3rd Judicial District Chief Judge Conrad Perea, announcing that he would step down from his seat effective March 21.

“Working with each of you has been a very rewarding experience for which I will remain eternally grateful,” he wrote, according to the Albuquerque Journal.

Just three days before Cano sent the resignation letter, on February 28, ICE agents conducted a search warrant on his home in connection with Cristhian Ortega-Lopez, a 23-year-old illegal immigrant from Venezuela and suspected TDA gangster who was living there.

Ortega-Lopez broke into the U.S. by scaling a barbed-wire fence near Eagle Pass, Texas, at the height of the Biden border crisis in December 2023, Breitbart reported, citing court documents. He spent three days at a detention facility in South Laredo before he was released because of overcrowding.
