OBERLIN — Invoking the names of George Floyd and other Black people killed by police, Oberlin College has announced it will create a Center for Race, Equity and Inclusion. “This new center will ensure that Oberlin is consistently contributing to the national conversation on race,” President Carmen Twillie Ambar said in a Wednesday announcement. “The center will bring together academic opportunities, co-curricular experiences, career programming, mentorship, community building and civic engagement.” (Snip) The presidential initiative has generated $1.3 million in giving to Oberlin College. The Center on Race will be the focus of its next capital campaign, she said.

A proposed amendment to the Ohio Constitution that critics say would enshrine a “right” to effectively unlimited abortion in the Buckeye State has secured the requisite number of petition signatures and is now being reviewed for placement on the November ballot. Drafted by the Ohio chapter of the American Civil Liberties Union (ACLU) and backed by the Ohio Physicians for Reproductive Rights (OPRR) advocacy arm Protect Choice Ohio (PCO), the proposed Right to Reproductive Freedom with Protections for Health and Safety Amendment posits a “right” to make “personal reproductive” decisions,(Snip)Fox News reported that the 400,000 signatures collected by supporters are now being reviewed
A U.S. Senator expressed concerns about universities defying a recent Supreme Court decision on college admissions, including demanding they retain records “in anticipating of future congressional investigations.” Oberlin College, Kenyon College and several Ivy League institutions were the targets of a letter by Sen. JD Vance, R-Cincinnati, demanding they comply with the Supreme Court’s ruling overturning affirmative action.(Snip)Hours after the ruling, Oberlin College President Carmen Twillie Ambar said the decision would not dissuade her institution from valuing diversity on campus.(Snip) In a statement, Director of Media Relations Andrea Simakis said the college is reviewing the Supreme Court’s decision to “fully understand its implications,”
Ukraine’s National bank says it now holds nearly $39 billion in foreign reserves, the highest level in the history of the country as an independent nation, as it continues to receive large deliveries of cash from allied nations.(Snip)Per the National Bank, this reserve was achieved “thanks to sustained and regular inflows from international partners”, the receipts of which exceeded the central bank’s outgoings of paying down foreign-held debt, and selling currency reserves to balance the economy.(Snip)Reuters reports Ukraine has received $23.6 billion in cash from Western partners this year so far.
You may recall that I was the named plaintiff in a lawsuit filed in January 2022 in the Northern District of New York against the NY State Health Commissioner over state health guidelines that prioritized non-whites for receipt of oral Covid therapeutics, which at the time were in short supply:(Snip)As medicine falls deeper under the sway of Critical Race Theory, this portends a bleak future.(Snip)We decided not to seek Supreme Court review, because it was viewed as nearly impossible to convince SCOTUS to take a case where the Covid health crisis had passed and the medications no longer were in short supply.
Ukrainian politician Kira Rudik confessed that Ukraine was preparing for a nuclear explosion in a televised interview with Sky News on July 2. Rudik claimed that the situation with Russian-occupying forces surrounding Europe’s largest nuclear power plant Zaporizhzhia in Ukraine “remains very dangerous.” She added that the reports from Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky has led to increased anxiety regarding the situation and that Russia’s refusal to permit the United Nations’ nuclear watchdogs into all areas of the plant was “unprecedented.”(Snip)“We are preparing for a nuclear explosion and the whole world is watching and there is nothing that can be done.”
Democratic presidential contender Robert F. Kennedy Jr. recently affirmed he is “pro-choice,” despite his belief that “every abortion is a tragedy.”(Snip) “I think the worst solution [to abortion] is that the government is involved in decisions that belong to a woman,” Kennedy concluded. He framed his advocacy for legal abortion as a way to uphold “medical freedom for bodily autonomy,”(Snip)“And that applies to vaccines. I don’t think the government should be telling us what medical products we can take, what procedures we ought to endure,” said Kennedy.
See Archbishop Vigano’s message below: The Church is going through a very serious crisis, mirroring that of civil governments: those who hold positions of power have shown themselves to be enemies of the institution they oversee and of the people over whom they exercise their authority. This subversive action leads those who are not willing to accept the betrayal to become the object of persecution: just as the doctors who chose to treat patients during the pandemic lost their licenses and were deprived of their salary, so the priests and religious who they do not adapt to the Bergoglian revolution are being removed from churches,
Democratic presidential candidate Robert F. Kennedy Jr. denounced the United States Supreme Court ruling striking down affirmative action, prompting a wave of criticism from Americans. Kennedy said in a Thursday tweet that he believes historically racist policies are now “self-perpetuating” and need to be corrected with affirmative action, which uses quotas or special preference in admitting or hiring racial and ethnic minority groups.[Snip]“Well, my interest in the Kennedy candidacy has just dropped 75%. Too bad. He was interesting for a short period of time,” tweeted a U.S. Navy veteran living in Japan.

TIANJIN, China - Klaus Schwab, the founder and chairman of the globalist World Economic Forum (WEF), has once again praised the Chinese Communist Party (CCP) for its “achievements.”[Snip]The CCP’s “vision for China and the world” that Schwab was eager to learn from includes putting “security” as the most important issue in the hierarchy of priorities, as Li, who took the stage after Schwab, stressed in his speech.[Snip]A major part of China’s security state is its social credit system that punishes citizens for what the CCP deems bad behavior.

When Judge Aileen Cannon scheduled the trial of Donald Trump in the Mar-a-Lago documents case for August 14, 2023, no one who knew the slightest thing about court procedure expected that to hold. Among other things, Trump doesn’t even have a full defense team (his prior team quit), his new lawyers will need to get security clearances to view classified documents, and procedures for the handling and control of classified material would have to be worked out. An August trial never was going to happen.(Snip)The Aug. date was set just to satisfy the Speedy Trial Act requirement.
Dr. Erica Li is a pediatrician practicing in the state of Washington, as well as teaching medical students from three medical schools and interns from four residency programs. Li recently published a chilling piece in Substack about the current state of medicine in this country, which she referred to as being “postmodern.”[Snip]While it leverages the same technologies as Modern medicine, thereby superficially resembling it, it fundamentally seeks to dismantle Modern medicine’s underlying philosophy.[Snip]Postmodern medicine is as far removed from Modern medicine as witch-burning. It poses serious risks to patient welfare and should be vehemently resisted.
The landing frame and rear cover of the missing Titan submersible have been discovered on the ocean floor, according to experts involved in the search, who say it points to the vessel suffering a 'catastrophic implosion' that will have claimed all five of the lives on board. The US Coast Guard announced on Twitter that the 'debris field' had been found on Thursday. They are yet to confirm what exactly was discovered, but Richard Garriott, President of the Explorers' Club, tells DailyMail.com his understanding from the teams involved in the search is that key components of the sub were among the items.

From the outside, the rows of tile-roof houses in a new community in Menifee don’t look much different from those in other subdivisions cropping up in this fast-growing city in Riverside County. But on the inside, these all-electric homes are revolutionary, offering a glimpse of the zero-emission future we should be hurtling toward to fight climate change and adapt to its effects. All the houses in the Durango and Oak Shade at Shadow Mountain communities, two adjacent KB Home subdivisions I visited in May for an opening event, were built without natural gas hookups or appliances. Each of the 219
The number of students who identify as LGBTQI+ at Brown University stands at just under 40% of the total enrollment, the institution’s Brown Daily Herald reports.
Latest data outlines between 2010 and 2023, identification as LGBTQI+ has almost tripled among the student body at the Providence, Rhode Island, university (from 14 percent in 2010 saying they were not heterosexual to 38 percent now).“The Herald’s Spring 2023 poll found that 38% of students do not identify as straight — over five times the national rate ,” student newspaper reported. “Over the past decade, LGBTQ+ identification has increased across the nation, with especially sharp growth at Brown.”
Hillary Clinton threw her full support behind Joe Biden amid a major cocaine scandal currently rocking the White House.
A major cocaine scandal rocked the White House this past week.
Biden has not answered any questions about the cocaine found in the West Wing last weekend after Hunter Biden visited the grounds.Meanwhile, Hillary Clinton is all in for Joe Biden for 2024.“There’s only one presidential candidate who’s working to make life better for parents, and it’s Joe Biden,” Hillary Clinton said on Friday in response to Biden’s vow to provide affordable healthcare to parents.
The headlines were stark and specific. Reuters claimed, “World registers hottest day ever recorded on July 3.”
Well, “ever recorded” is misleading since the records have only been “recorded” since 1979. But what kind of a headline would that have been?
At least the BBC was honest about their scare headline: “World’s hottest day since records began.”
The bottom line: We’re all going to burn up and we’re all going to die unless we throw an hysterical climate change tantrum and demand that our government take panicky steps to save us from the climate change demons.
There’s no doubt that this Independence Day was hot. It was very hot. It was uncomfortably hot
Fox 5 News Atlanta reported that Khalid Kamau, the socialist mayor of South Fulton, Georgia, was arrested Saturday morning after entering unlawfully entering a house and refused to accept responsibility. He was charged with criminal trespass and burglary in the first degree.
One could say he was leading by example considering his dangerous leftist policies encourage this sort of behavior.
Kamau was booked into the Fulton County Jail and was released at 8 P.M. Saturday night after posting an $11,000 bond.
An archbishop in the Church of England said the opening of the “Lord’s Prayer” is considered “problematic” to some people because the 2,000-year-old prayer starts by addressing God as “Our Father.”
Archbishop of York Stephen Cottrell told the General Synod, the legislating and ruling body of the Church of England, that referring to God as “father” might be offensive to some people because of the negative connotations of patriarchy. “I know the word ‘father’ is problematic for those whose experience of earthly fathers has been destructive and abusive, and for all of us who have labored rather too much from an oppressively patriarchal grip on life,” Cottrell said,
Stein’s Law holds that “If something cannot go on forever, it will stop.”
The late Herbert Stein made the observation about economic trends, but his axiom perfectly describes Joe Biden’s shaky dance with political death. The president is trying to navigate a narrow path between two potential disasters.
Each one could prove fatal to his tenure, but if the twain shall meet, he doesn’t have a prayer.
And it’s a near certainty they will meet because the facts we already know are overwhelmingly stacked against him and more damaging information is coming soon.
One track of his predicament stems from general public unhappiness with his performance.
Major legal rulings that dismantled the use of race in college admissions, undermined protections for LGBTQ people and tossed out President Joe Biden’s student debt relief program marked the end of a Supreme Court term in which the conservative supermajority continued to exert its dominance.
The majority also doubled down on a controversial legal theory that limits the power of federal agencies to take unilateral action.
Meanwhile, the justices rejected a far-fetched argument that would have limited the role of state courts in election disputes and turned away an aggressive attempt to challenge Biden administration immigration policy – both areas in which lawyers on the right might have overreached in their arguments.
The dream season for Nikki Hiltz continued on Saturday when the runner took first place in the women’s 1500-meter race at the 2023 USATF Championships.
The surging runner, who identified as transgender nonbinary in 2021, isn’t just winning for them.
They said it was a win for the transgender community, too. “It was awesome,” Hiltz said after the win. “I think there’s so much hate right now, and specifically the bills being passed for trans youth. I feel like the LGBTQ community needed a win and there’s so many things that go through your mind in the race, and for whatever reason that was kind of in the back of my mind.”
President Biden sat down for a recent interview in which he said the United States is low on 155 mm artillery ammunition rounds, sparking outrage and questions of competency from conservatives on social media.
During the interview, which aired Sunday morning, Biden defended his administration for sending cluster munitions to Ukraine as a "transition period" until more munitions are produced.
"This is a war relating to munitions. And they’re running out of that ammunition, and we’re low on it," Biden told CNN's Fareed Zakaria. "And so, what I finally did, I took the recommendation of the Defense Department to – not permanently – but to allow for this transition period
New York Magazine’s “Intelligencer” feature ran a fawning portrayal of President Joe Biden Friday, which mostly focused on his ice cream habits, cute text arguments with wife Jill, and his aching desire to be home in Delaware.
The tone of the article was mostly, “what a nice older gentleman, aren’t his foibles endearing,” but several details describe someone who doesn’t sound all that decent. For starters, he makes Vice President Kamala Harris sit through self-congratulating slide shows.
As little sympathy as I have for the quote-challenged VP, I have to admit this sounds like Chinese water torture:
Once a week, Biden eats lunch with Harris, following a pattern he established
Treasury Secretary Janet Yellen was slammed for bowing multiple times when she met with China's vice premier He Lifeng, as some critics say the protocol error is a sign of American weakness.
Yellen, who served as chair of the Federal Reserve before becoming Joe Biden's top financial official, wrapped up her first visit to China as treasury secretary on Sunday.
Moments after bowing at least three times, Yellen then stumbled over He's name, calling him 'Vice Premier Hu.' Both Washington and Beijing said the meetings during her four-day trip were fruitful, although the visit - designed to help smooth a rocky relationship - did not generate any concrete agreements.
