Northwestern University has convinced a federal judge in Chicago to toss a lawsuit filed against the school alleging it discriminates against white men in its faculty hiring process.

The case was dismissed by U.S. District Judge Sarah Ellis, an Obama-appointee, who agreed with Northwestern’s argument that the plaintiff organization, Faculty, Alumni, and Students Opposed to Racial Preferences, lacked standing because it failed to show its members had actually applied for open positions at the law school, Reuters reported.

Sen. John Fetterman is again breaking with his party on immigration enforcement, openly rejecting Democratic efforts to target ICE while forcefully condemning rhetoric that compares federal agents to Nazis.

In a wide-ranging Fox News interview, Fetterman pushed back on claims that a government shutdown or legislative brinkmanship would meaningfully restrain Immigration and Customs Enforcement, arguing instead that such tactics mislead the public while putting federal workers at risk.

“If you act as if God is real, you will have a better life. It works.”

Joe Rogan said the core teachings of Jesus Christ are difficult to fault, describing them as centered on kindness, personal responsibility, and caring for others during a recent podcast discussion focused on faith, morality, and church life. Rogan has previously publicly revealed that he attends church.

“If you get just to the teachings of Christ, I can’t find any faults in it,” Rogan said. “It’s all ab

A massive new release of Department of Justice (DOJ) records tied to Jeffrey Epstein is sending shockwaves through elite circles, and billionaire Bill Gates appears to be scrambling after being directly implicated in a series of deeply disturbing allegations.

As Slay News previously reported, the millions of pages released Friday include emails in which Epstein makes salacious claims that Gates begged him to obtain antibiotics so he could secretly dose his wife to conceal sexually transmitted diseases he allegedly contracted from “Russian girls.”

According to the DOJ-released files, Epstein discussed helping Gates obtain drugs “in order to deal with consequences of sex with Russian girls,” as well as facilitating illicit relationships with married women.

Agitators have taken to the streets of Los Angeles for the second night in a row to demonstrate against ICE and Homeland Security operations in the city. Well over 1,000 individuals participate in what has been labeled as an “ICE Out” rally.

On Saturday’s The Weekend, MSNOW White House reporter Laura Barron-Lopez asserted that liberal journalist Don Lemon is being prosecuted by the Donald Trump administration because the President doesn’t like journalists who present facts and criticize him.

The show also tried to tie in race, with co-host Eugene Daniels teasing the story: “Today Trump’s immigration crackdown extends to the free press with federal agents arresting two black journalists, including Don Lemon, after documenting a church protest.”

After beginning the show by discussing the merits of the case, co-host Jackie Alemany turned to Barron-Lopez and posed: “Can you talk about why the White House is so obsessed with Don Lemon in particular?”

A growing number of Democrat rogue judges are waging open war on the rule of law, substituting ideology for statute and personal politics for public safety. By blocking deportations, freeing violent offenders, and nullifying duly enacted laws, these judges are not “checking power,” they are seizing it, overriding the will of voters and lawmakers alike. The result is predictable: communities put at risk, law enforcement undermined, and a justice system that rewards contempt for the law while punishing those tasked with enforcing it. This is not judicial independence; it is judicial sabotage—an assault on law and order and on the American way of life itself, which depends on equal application of the law, not rule by robe.

Records show Ilhan Omar’s husband’s investment firm lists no clients despite it driving their $30M net worth.

So how did they make money with no clients?

Public records and media reporting have raised questions about the source of Rep. Ilhan Omar’s family wealth, focusing on her husband’s investment firm, which reportedly lists no identifiable clients, deals, or SEC registration despite claims of operating in dozens of countries. Critics note the firm appears to operate out of shared office space and shows no public track record of managing money or completing transactions, while a related winery investment has also been described as inactive.

Seattle’s communist Mayor Katie Wilson has announced plans to mobilize the city’s police force to gather intelligence on ICE agents conducting immigration enforcement operations and share that information with “community partners” on the streets.

Wilson said she will also bar federal immigration officers from utilizing city-controlled property, “including parks, parking lots, plazas, vacant lots, garages, and Seattle Center – for civil immigration enforcement.”

Monica Cannon-Grant is a Boston-based Black Lives Matter activist who has pleaded guilty to scamming more than $100,000 in Covid funds and other resources in order to fund her lavish lifestyle.

Yesterday, she was sentenced to six months of home confinement followed by four years of probation. No jail time.

Apparently, some people are actually above the law.

With Minnesota Gov. Tim Walz, Chicago Mayor Brandon Johnson, Seattle Mayor Katie Wilson, and other hard-leftists out there trying to conjure up the spirits of Jefferson Davis and Stonewall Jackson, President Donald Trump has just made it clear that he is not going to tolerate any more of this low-grade but escalating insurrection.

Socialist New York City Mayor Zohran Mamdani cheered the action.

New York Governor Kathy Hochul has thrown her support behind a new proposal that if enacted would outlaw formal agreements between New York localities and Immigration and Customs Enforcement that allow for local police to be deputized as ICE agents.

While flanked by law enforcement on Friday at a press conference, Hochul proposed outlawing the formal agreements known as 287(g) agreements, which allow for local New York police departments to work with ICE by allowing local officers to be deputized along with ICE for immigration enforcement.

U.S. Border Czar Tom Homan announced Thursday that the organizers and funders behind the ICE-hunting groups in Minnesota will be held accountable, declaring, “justice is coming.”

Homan, who now leads President Trump’s immigration enforcement operation in the Twin Cities, held a morning news conference in Minneapolis to discuss his progress following discussions with Governor Tim Walz (D), Attorney General Keith Ellison (D), and Minneapolis Mayor Jacob Frey (D).

“Jurisdictions that refuse to cooperate with federal immigration authorities are sanctuaries for criminals,” Homan stated. “It endangers the residents of the communities.”

The government will run out of money soon. It’s been something of a dirge atmosphere since the shooting of Alex Pretti in Minneapolis, which has animated leftists and sent Democrats huddling in the corner on how to screw over the Department of Homeland Security, including a new provision on ICE warrants, which is to say they want to hamstring the agency from making more illegal alien arrests.

The SAVE Act, which would require proof of citizenship before anyone is allowed to vote in American elections, will eventually be (we hope) headed for a Senate vote. The Democrats have fought against any kind of voter ID requirement, bitterly, and I leave it to you readers to discern why they are so adamant that we show a government ID for everything but voting. The Senate Minority Leader, Chuck Schumer (D-NY), has released a statement pronouncing the SAVE Act as “dead on arrival” in the Senate.

A federal judge in Washington, D.C., has allowed a massive offshore wind farm off the coast of New York to continue construction, after being blocked by the Trump administration for weeks.

The ruling marks the fifth court win the offshore wind industry has seen over President Donald Trump and his effort to suppress development of the renewable energy alternative.

Okay, this might be the most bizarre news story you have read this week or this year, for that matter.

A new report from France has revealed that a hospital was evacuated after a patient was discovered to have a WWI artillery shell shoved up his butt.

According to local authorities in France, the man arrived in the hospital with extreme pain in his anus.

After further evaluation of teh patient, the surgeons were shocked that he had a century-old artillery shell shoved up his anus.

Former Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI) Deputy Director Dan Bongino on Monday defended President Donald Trump’s administration handling of files about deceased sex offender Jeffrey Epstein on his first episode of “The Dan Bongino Show” since leaving the bureau.

After Axios reported on July 6 that a Department of Justice (DOJ) memo found that Epstein had left no “client list” and that there was no evidence of foul play in his death, many Trump supporters criticized the administration. However, Bongino suggested on his show that the administration could not have handled the Epstein files better.

The latest release of the Epstein files includes a 2013 email from the disgraced financier and sex predator to himself about the Microsoft co-founder in which Epstein claims Gates caught an STD after “sex with Russians girls” and wanted to slip antibiotics to his wife instead of telling her. Gates insists the claims are “completely false.”

In the 2013 email — written seemingly in the voice of one of Gates’ top advisers, Boris Nikolic, but sent only to Epstein himself  — the disgraced financier and convicted sex predator wrote that the Microsoft co-founder was trying “to get drugs in order to deal with consequences of sex with Russian girls.”

A new report from the Federal Communications Commission’s Office of the Inspector General revealed that California, Texas, and Oregon obtained $5 million in reimbursements for the Lifeline program for 116,000 dead people.

“Most troubling, at least 16,774 of the deceased Lifeline individuals were first claimed by a Lifeline provider after they died,” the OIG wrote. “Providers claimed more than $500,000 in Lifeline subsidies for purported service to these subscribers.”

California alone provided phone and internet service to more than 94,000 dead people.

The leftist worldview just got a lot shakier.

The names of the federal agents reportedly involved in the fatal shooting of Minneapolis protester Alex Pretti in January were publicized Sunday by a leftist website.

And if the names are correct, they destroy the narrative Americans have been fed for more than a week.

Both men are Hispanics hailing from South Texas. One is an agent for Border Patrol, the other is with Customs and Border Protection, according to Pro Publica.

There has been over a 1,000 percent increase in assaults on ICE since the Trump administration started the president’s second term.

Antifa militants who have usually taken to identifying and doxing people on the right side of the political aisle have switched gears, working to identify and dox ICE agents in recent months.

An ICE agent who pepper-sprayed an anti-ICE agitator in Minneapolis was filmed by the Minneapolis Star Tribune in Minnesota recently, and now the “Pacific Antifascist Research Collective” has claimed to identify the ICE agent. The Antifa cell, which claims to be an “autonomous group of anti-fascist researchers dedicated to providing communities from the Rockies to the Pacific with research and tools to protect themselves from fascism,” posted the reported identity of the ICE agent to Bluesky.

U.S. Virgin Islands Delegate Stacey Plaskett privately referred to Jeffrey Epstein as her “friend” and shared him exclusive, non-public details about her legislative work, according to newly released text messages that undercut her public claims about the nature of their relationship.

In a Sept. 24, 2018, message, Plaskett thanked Epstein, a longtime campaign donor and Virgin Islands resident, for his “support” and asked whether it would be “presumptuous” of her to “consider you a friend.”

“Privileged to be called friend,” Epstein replied. He was arrested 10 months later on federal charges accusing him of trafficking dozens of women and girls for sex. He died by suicide in jail on Aug. 10, 2019.

Sen. John Fetterman (D-PA) has warned his fellow Democrats that a government shutdown would not halt Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) operations, noting that the agency is already funded under existing law.

Fetterman issued the warning as Democrats refuse to support a broader spending package that includes ICE funding.

Speaking on Fox News’s “The Sunday Briefing,” Fetterman said it is “absolutely true” that a shutdown would have little effect on the Department of Homeland Security (DHS) or ICE.
