It was fireworks in federal court Friday morning as lawyers for Federal Reserve Governor Lisa Cook squared off against the Trump administration after Trump fired her on Monday over mortgage malarkey.

Cook (who was busted in 2024 for plagiarism and only got her job because Kamala Harris was the tiebreaker vote during her confirmation) responded by filing a lawsuit – asking a judge to issue a temporary restraining order (TRO) which would allow her to keep her job, for now.

…

The courtroom drama unfolded amid the backdrop of Federal Housing Finance Authority Chief Bill Pulte having dropped a Thursday night bombshell: a second “criminal referral” accusing Cook of “misrepresentations” about properties she owns – specifically that she claimed a second residence as an investment property, which follows Pulte’s initial criminal referral over Cook simultaneously claiming two properties as her ‘primary residence.’

The Voting Rights Act ought to have been ruled unconstitutional when it was first passed: It violated the longstanding but unwritten right of Freedom of Association and attempted to correct race-based voting by turning it upside down while still enshrining race-based voting.

Politicians always try to fix problems by applying force to the symptoms rather than searching out the root causes and dealing with them first. This is a perennial problem with ‘democratic’ governance that I guess we’re going to be forever stuck with.

Britain’s newspapers, pointing this week to a rise in the number of children being sent home from school due to alleged ‘racist behaviour,’ would have their declining readerships believe there is a real problem with child racism.

But critical commentators have highlighted that some of those children being suspended are as young as four, and that even in cases involving older pupils, the problem often lies more with the teachers themselves.

More than 15,000 suspensions for ‘racism’ took place last year, compared to 7,400 in 2021—a more than 100% increase. Almost 2,500 of the 2024 suspensions related to children at primary school, attended by those aged four to 11.

Black community leaders in Cincinnati held a press conference on Monday to demand the arrest of one of the victims of the black-on-white mob attack that garnered national attention, last month.

Six alleged assailants – Aisha Devaughn, Jermaine Matthews, Montianez Merriweather, Dekyra Vernon, Dominique Kittle, and Patrick Rosemond – have been indicted on eight charges each, including felonious assault and aggravated rioting, following a grand jury indictment.

Recently, a large group of black youths began pummeling several white adults in downtown Cincinnati.

The original altercation apparently broke out between a black and white male in he-said/he-said fashion.

But that dispute soon turned into a virtual free-for-all.

Numerous male and female black youths sucker-punched a middle-aged woman and a man. Others continued to kick or body slam the victims, who were sprawled on their backs and seemingly unconscious.

There were many disturbing aspects to the beat-downs.

One, the violence broke out along racial and age fault lines. After the initial one-on-one dispute, groups of black youths swarmed solitary older white bystanders to pound them.

Two, the surrounding assembled group of black youths not only failed to intervene to restrain the bullies. They also recorded the beatings for social media and were heard cheering on the one-sided violence.

Three, there was neither a police presence nor any timely Good Samaritan interventions.

Instead, what ended the attacks was simply the fact that at least two of the targets appeared nearly comatose. So their assailants apparently concluded that their agenda of beating whites into unconsciousness was mostly complete.

Four, oddly few of the usual black spokespeople who habitually comment on interracial violence were to be seen.

During the fake Jussie Smollett attack, self-appointed leaders from Al Sharpton to Kamala Harris immediately issued warnings about so-called systemic white racism that had reared its ugly head to victimize Smollett.

Yet when it was revealed Smollett had concocted the entire charade—and even hired his own assaulters—there were few if any retractions from those once so eager to shout “racist!”

Such demagoguery is a well-known pattern dating back to the days of the Tawana Brawley rape hoax, the Duke Lacrosse charade, the Covington kids ruse, the Michael Ford “Hands-up-Don’t Shoot” fabrication, the “pseudo-transformation of George Zimmerman into a ‘white Hispanic,’” or the NASCAR noose fable.

There was a very disturbing event this past weekend in Cincinnati, Ohio. There was an altercation between two males, apparently.

Things were said. We don’t know what was said. We don’t know if anything untoward was said.

But they developed—that altercation expanded. And what was disturbing of it, there was a racial component—black, white—but more importantly, after this altercation expanded, it was all asymmetrical. The black group was much larger than the white group. It was much younger. Most of the people were males, maybe 50 or so. Most of their attackers in the second part of this altercation were young and black.

More importantly, once people hit the ground or were sucker punched, people from the crowd came in, stomped on them, body slammed them, and it was almost like a free-for-all, that people smelled blood and they wanted to go in for the kill. It was very disturbing.

And the other thing that was disturbing about it was they sucker punched a woman, knocked her unconscious, and then people continued to pelt her. More importantly, there were black females that joined in this ruckus, like it was a celebration. They were stomping people on the ground. And then the reaction of the crowd, it was almost people were celebrating it.

And what was the reaction to law enforcement? They said they’re going to investigate the people who were involved. But I guess a lot of the reaction is that none of the media covered it, at least the legacy media. It was on Fox News and the New York Post, etc., but not in the legacy media. It was almost as if they were saying, “This is a taboo subject.”

Black people can beat on random white people and nobody dares take any action. Yet if something happens to a black person, even a drug addict under the influence or a criminal caught in the act, it’s all FREDDY GRAY and TRAYVON MARTIN and GENTLE GIANT and CIVIL RIGHTS and BLACK RIGHTS MATTER and riots and so on. Eventually white people are going to get fed up and black people will not enjoy what happens next.

Cory Bowman, the half-brother of Vice President J.D. Vance and also running for mayor of Cincinnati, ignited outrage on X after exposing a disturbing social media post by Cincinnati Council Member Victoria Parks, who said the Whites “begged for that beat down” in downtown Cincinnati last weekend. This comes on the heels of Cincinnati Police Chief Teresa Theetge’s absurd attempt to downplay the Black mob assault, raising very serious concerns about the city’s woke leadership.

“They begged for that beat down! I am grateful for the whole story,” Parks wrote on what appears to be a Facebook post. Bowman took a screenshot of the post and reposted it on X.

Last week, Cincinnati, OH made the national news after video footage went viral of crowds exiting a “black culture” jazz music festival. Marauding groups of the fatigue subset (the usual suspects) attacked at least three unsuspecting white victims as they walked along the bustling business district. One victim was an older man who was stomped and punched repeatedly into the road by multiple assailants. Another victim was a woman who was beaten unconscious.

Why did they do it? Because those people were convenient targets, it would seem. Or, perhaps simply because they were the most convenient white targets. It’s hard to say, but one can make an educated guess according to the evidence and common sense.

Milwaukee is the latest in a long list of US cities facing a rapid retail exodus in minority neighborhoods and once again the blame is being placed on the companies in question rather than the behavior of the residents as they protests the rising tide of “food deserts”.

At the beginning of July, city officials mounted a public outcry after Cincinnati-based Kroger Co. announced the decision to close at least five Pick ‘n Save supermarket locations, including one in Milwaukee’s Metcalfe Park neighborhood.

The city was also notified by Walgreens that they will be closing at least seven locations over the next two years and CVS will be closing some locations as well. Activists argue that the closures center around “black and brown neighborhoods” and that these areas “deserve access” to nearby grocery outlets.

Except when they do have ‘access to groceries’, they don’t buy them; they shoplift them. That’s why the companies are closing the stores. If the companies could do business there without crippling losses, they’d be happy to keep the stores open. s

He’s back.

Bowman, appearing June 25 as a panelist on MSNBC, said, “The reason why heart disease and cancer and obesity and diabetes are bigger in the black community is because of the stress we carry from having to deal with being called the n-word directly or indirectly every day.”

In my experience, the N-word is used mostly by other black people. Black comedians use it all the time. Why no complaints there?

I’m no fan of performative identity politics, and I think racial preferences are long past their expiration date. Yet I don’t think the New York City mayoral candidate Zohran Mamdani did anything wrong when, as was reported last week, he checked off “Black or African American” on a college application. As a man of South Asian descent who spent the first part of his life living in Uganda, he was within his rights to call himself African American. The problem is that the term appeared on the application, or anywhere else. Plenty of Black people have never liked it, and ever more are joining the ranks. It’s time to let it go.

…

A term that is meant to be descriptive but that can refer to Cedric the Entertainer, Trevor Noah, Elon Musk and Zohran Mamdani is a little silly.

The Left has never shrunk from silly. Indeed, their entire program is to make the silly into a semblance of normal.

Self-described “nepo baby” Zohran Mamdani declared a measly $2,000 in the bank on his latest state disclosures.

That’s despite his privileged upbringing and family money — and an annual salary of $131,000 as a state lawmaker, a job he’s had for five years.

The $2,000 on his form comes from a retirement plan from the housing-focused social-justice organization Chhaya, where he worked briefly as a “foreclosure prevention counselor” in 2019, before he was elected in 2020 to represent Queen’s 36th District in the state Assembly.

So he’s never had a Real Job, just been sucking on the public teat all his working life. A perfect Child of the Crust.

A troupe of climate scientists, social justice theorists, and biological anthropologists has arrived in France, denouncing the U.S. president with the breathless intensity of failed actors who found tenure instead of a stage.

Anticipating federal funding cuts against the backdrop of DOGE, some academics have started looking for new environments more conducive to funding their research. For some, the temptation to present this as a political choice—with themselves in the role of exiles—has been very strong. Melodrama rules the day, as could be seen when the first group of ‘refugees’ rolled up in France.

Aix-Marseille University saw its president, Eric Berton, liken the situation to that of European academics who fled Nazi persecution before and during World War II:

What is at play here today is not unrelated to another dark period of our history.

Most of the eight U.S. researchers in his audience seemed to confirm this analysis, while speaking, on condition of anonymity, to European Union mouthpiece Politico. Few if any of these have signed contracts with French universities, some of whose existing staff fear preferential treatment for the new arrivals.

Berton, like failed former French president François Hollande, wants the creation of an official “scientific refugee” status for Trump’s scientific refuseniks.

Not everyone is on board with MAHA — especially not the feminist journalists at SELF (owned by the corporate media company Condé Nast), who recently penned an article that reads like a hit piece against MAHA.

Describing a middle-aged white woman as a “Karen” is borderline unlawful, a judge has said amid a bitter row at a mental health charity.

The slang term, used increasingly since the pandemic, refers to middle-aged white women who angrily rebuke those they view as socially inferior. Sitting in an employment tribunal, a judge has now said that the term is pejorative because it implies the woman is excessively and unreasonably demanding.

Use of the term started as an internet meme. It is also associated with excessive use of Facebook, opposition to vaccinations and having a blonde bob haircut.

Judge George Alliott made his remarks in a ruling on a claim brought by Sylvia Constance, a 74-year-old black charity worker who has accused bosses of targeting her because of her race and age. In what was described at a tribunal hearing in Watford as a “trenchant” complaint, female managers at Mencap were accused of acting “like the stereotypical Karen” by having “weaponised their privilege and more powerful position” against Constance.

“There is also something very sordid about the way in which white, female management have facilitated racism … [and given] a misogynistic, racist view of the black complainant,” the grievance said.

Alliott said the tribunal noted that Karen was “a pejorative and borderline racist, sexist and ageist term”.

Harvard University and other top research schools are seeking corporate funders to support their science labs following sweeping cuts to government grants.

The T.H. Chan School of Public Health at Harvard, which typically gets more than 70% of its annual research dollars from the federal government, lost nearly all of the funding after the Trump administration canceled hundreds of the university’s research grants and contracts. The school expected to get more than $200 million this fiscal year.

Administrators called the losses catastrophic.

Funny how that works.

One rule has remained true for generations when it comes to the division between the sexes: Men are held accountable for everything, women accept accountability for nothing.

Obviously, there’s going to be exceptions to the rule, but the majority of the time it is true that modern western women have a serious problem taking responsibility when things go wrong. They have been taught from a very early age that they are victims: Victims of men, victims of society, victims of “patriarchy”, victims of religion, victims of biology, victims of circumstance, etc.

The feminist movement is built entirely around the notion that women can weaponize their victimhood as a means to control society.

The Michigan Law Review selects student editors based on race and gender. It discriminates against white authors in favor of women and minorities. And it tells editors to avoid citing white men whenever possible—instructing them to “use your best efforts to locate a source that gives voice to historically marginalized identities.”

Those are some of the allegations in a lawsuit filed this week against the University of Michigan and its flagship law review. Represented by former Texas solicitor general Jonathan Mitchell, the plaintiffs include three scholars who have submitted manuscripts to the law review as well as a student who applied to be an editor.

The complaint alleges that the journal uses “race and sex preferences to select its members and articles” in violation of federal law. It also includes internal documents that shed light on the journal’s diversity policies, such as a production manual from the journal’s most recent volume.

This Thursday on CBS Mornings, the show highlighted a segment about the celebration of Juneteenth, a recently recognized federal holiday that observed the final emancipation of slaves in the United States was enforced in Texas, two years after the signing of the Emancipation Proclamation. While it has been celebrated in black culture for decades, it recently picked up attention in mainstream culture and media due to the day being memorialized in legislation signed by former President Joe Biden in 2021.

While undoubtedly the ending of slavery in the United States was a victory for freedom, the segment on CBS quickly unraveled from logical conversation into the argument that white people should celebrate the holiday by pushing for reparations.

The panel consisted of hosts Gayle King, Nate Burleson, Tony Dokoupil, and Professor and writer Kellie Carter Jackson to discuss celebrating the holiday. The conversation started normal enough, with Jackson recounting different historical traditions of the holiday and explaining how she involved her children in understanding slavery in an age-appropriate way.

The journal claimed the Free Beacon had quoted “selectively” from “five internal memos going back more than three years,” adding that the Harvard Law Review “considers several thousand submissions annually.”

“The Review does not consider race, ethnicity, gender, or any other protected characteristic as a basis for recommending or selecting a piece for publication,” the journal wrote in a fact sheet published on May 27.

But according to new documents obtained by the Free Beacon, the law review eliminates more than 85 percent of submissions using a rubric that asks about “author diversity.” And 40 percent of journal editors have cited protected characteristics when lobbying for or against articles—at one point killing a piece by an Asian-American scholar, Alex Zhang, after an editor complained in a meeting that “we have too many Yale JDs and not enough Black and Latino/Latina authors.”

The NAACP and an environmental group said Tuesday that they intend to sue Elon Musk’s artificial intelligence company xAI over concerns about air pollution generated by a supercomputer facility located near predominantly Black communities in Memphis.

The xAI data center began operating last year, powered in part by pollution-emitting gas turbines, without first applying for a permit. Officials have said an exemption allowed them to operate for up to 364 days without a permit. But Southern Environmental Law Center attorney Patrick Anderson said at a news conference that there is no such exemption for turbines — and that regardless, it has now been more than 364 days.

A 60-day notice of an intent to sue, a prerequisite to filing a lawsuit under the Clean Air Act, was sent to xAI in a letter. The Southern Environmental Law Center is representing the NAACP in its possible legal challenge against xAI and its permit application, now being considered by the Shelby County Health Department.

The fact that the NAACP is involved suggests that it’s less about the environment and more about putting the arm on Musk. This is a page out of the NAACP Race Hustler Playbook: “Nice facility you got there. Be a shame if anything happened to it. We’ll leave you alone of you pay enough money and grovel a bit.’  Jesse Jackson and Al Sharpton got rich playing this card.

In what The Sun newspaper called a ‘day of shame,’ the known number making ‘small boat’ crossing into Britain on a single day exceeded all previous records. Despite repeated promises to ‘smash the gangs,’ the official last day before the British summer begins saw 19 confirmed small boat arrivals bring 1,194 illegal migrants ashore.

This record day of migrant crossings puts the total 42% higher than where it stood in 2024, meaning crossings are at the highest rate with the largest total number of arrivals, predominantly young men, at any point since the crisis began in 2019. At one point the number of migrant vessels in the English Channel overwhelmed marine rescue services, who in turn called on local fishing boats for help.

To make America great again, the US National Science Foundation (NSF) aims to get by with less.

The agency responsible for promoting scientific progress in the US and nurturing national STEM talent has proposed a budget of $3.9 billion, 61.7 percent less than the $10.183 billion sought in FY 2025. Actual budget appropriations tend to differ from the sum requested.

Established in 1950 to advance science and national health, prosperity, welfare, and defense, the NSF carries out its mission mainly by making grants to American colleges and universities and by supporting academic researchers.

“This is a budget of destruction of US science,” an NSF staffer told The Register. “Cuts of 65 percent to 75 in science, engineering and education will remove the United States from the world’s map of impact, will lead to irreversible damage to American creativity, and destroy our country’s GDP.” This person asked for anonymity for fear of getting fired for talking to the press.

The Floyd reckoning killed more black people than Hurricane Katrina did. The real legacy of the BLM race riots were 2,000 dead black people. The real legacy of the fists and kneelings were entire cemeteries filled with dead black bodies over the course of only one single year.

And coffins being placed in cemeteries across the country, planted there by the ‘reckoning’.

More Americans died in the BLM wars than were killed in the Afghanistan and Iraq wars combined. Or at Pearl Harbor. To find a conflict that was more lethal to Americans, you would have to go back to Vietnam. Far more were killed by the BLM crime wave than perished in Hurricane Katrina, not to mention Sandy, Harvey, Maria, Ike and the California wildfires.

George Floyd’s death was the single deadliest non-drug or disease event of any war or natural disaster in the United States in the last 40 years.

President Donald Trump raised the issue of the killings of white South Africans in that country during an Oval Office visit by its president this week.

It came as the Trump administration expedited the refugee claims of some white South Africans who feel they are no longer safe in their black-majority home country.

As of May 8, the U.S. government had granted 59 Afrikaners refugee status, and the State Department has received 8,000 inquiries.

Secretary of State Marco Rubio defended the Trump administration’s actions when he appeared before the Senate Foreign Relations Committee on Tuesday.

“Can you have a different standard based upon the color of somebody’s skin? Would that be acceptable?” Sen. Tim Kaine, D-Va., asked the secretary in what some saw as a leading question.

“I’m not the one arguing that. Apparently you are, because you don’t like the fact that they’re white and that’s why they’re coming,” Rubio replied in the contentious exchange.

Give the devil his due: Senator Bernie Sanders never misses an opportunity to remind Americans about our planet’s supposed peril. In a 2023 MSNBC op-ed, he whined: “The climate crisis is not just an environmental issue. It is a matter of justice, of health, of economics, and of national security.” According to Sanders, climate change is a moral and existential threat demanding sweeping government intervention and dramatic changes in personal behavior.

Except, of course, when it comes to how he lives his own life.

Sanders’ recent “Fighting Oligarchy” tour paints a very different picture. While crisscrossing the country decrying the evils of capitalism, Sanders traveled by—you guessed it—private jet. According to a new analysis from Power The Future, the senator’s 16-stop tour spewed an estimated 62.15 metric tons of carbon dioxide into the atmosphere.

To put in context, that’s more than the average American produces in five years.

Look, if you took 10 random coaches who each had a history of losing games and got them all together to bloviate about how there is a ‘war on football’, how seriously would you take it? I suspect Not Much.

Education, especially ‘higher ed’, in this country is crap. Everybody knows it. Everybody writes about it. Everybody pretty much believes it. Is this Trump’s fault? I’m sure some people would like to think so, but that’s obvious nonsense.

The reason that ‘higher ed’ in this country is crap is the doing of people like these ‘we ran 10 flagship colleges’ people. They are the reason education sucks at the college level – and people like them are the reason that it sucks all the way down to kindergarten. And yet the Poop points the finger everywhere but where it belongs. Inconceivable.

The Trump administration has escalated its battle with Harvard University, freezing all future grants and threatening to strip the school’s tax-exempt status. In response, Harvard has adopted some conciliatory measures— rebranding its DEI office and cancelling its racially segregated graduation ceremonies—but, behind the scenes, the university’s discrimination machine continues to operate at full capacity.

We’ve obtained a trove of internal documents that reveal Harvard’s racial favoritism in faculty and administrative hiring. The university’s DEI programs are more than “unconscious bias” training. They are vectors for systematic discrimination against disfavored groups: namely, white men. As one Harvard researcher told us, “endless evidence” suggests that the university continues to discriminate against the supposed oppressor class in hiring and promotions.
