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,”

A Nobel Prize-winning physicist has criticized alarmist climate predictions and said that he does not believe that there is a climate crisis. During his speech at the “Quantum Korea 2023” event, Dr. John Clauser said, “I don’t believe there is a climate crisis,” according to a report by Seoul Economic Daily that has been translated into English by the CO2 Coalition. Clauser added that “key processes are exaggerated and misunderstood by approximately 200 times” and accused the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC) of spreading misinformation.

Boebert says after Secret Service briefing

House since 2022 7 replies
Republican Rep. Lauren Boebert said after the Secret Service briefing Thursday on cocaine found July 2 at the White House that drugs have been found two other times since last year in the building. (Snip) Boebert said the drug found twice before in roughly the past year was marijuana and that she thinks the Secret Service closed the investigation without a suspect "because everything in this administration is about covering up for the Biden crime family." "This is the third time that drugs have been found on the White House property since 2022, and we did not even hear about the marijuana," she also said.
The Secret Service is closing the investigation into the White House cocaine discovery because of a 'lack of evidence' in a stunning move just 11 days after the drugs were abandoned in a West Wing locker. Furious Republicans have called the shuttering of the probe 'ridiculous' and accused the Biden administration of a 'cover-up,' with agents unable to find a suspect despite poring over surveillance footage for more than a week.(Snip)Trump-era CBP Director and longtime FBI agent Mark Morgan told DailyMail.com last week that the case is 'straightforward' and could be solved in the matter of 30 minutes.
This sort of thing is becoming way too common. How are parents not completely losing their minds? Schools are actively trying to hide things from them.[Snip]Columbus City Schools (CCS) shelled out more than $24,000 taxpayer dollars to a consulting firm that taught staff how to sneak radical gender ideology into classrooms without parents’ permission, a public records request made by Parents Defending Education revealed. The two-day training in September 2022 was conducted by Q-inclusion, now known as “Hey Wes,” an organization led by a woman disguised as a man that boasts of partnering “with schools, healthcare clinics, businesses, and communities in order to support queer & trans belonging.”
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

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,

FBI Director Christopher Wray testified before the House Judiciary Committee today.
The hearing, “Oversight of the Federal Bureau of Investigation,” examined the politicization of the nation’s preeminent law enforcement agency under the direction of FBI Director Christopher Wray and Attorney General Merrick Garland.
Rep. Troy Nehls (R-TX), a former sheriff, destroyed dirty Chris Wray during his testimony before the House Judiciary Committee on Wednesday.
Nehls brought video and photos of Ray Epps encouraging Trump supporters to enter the US Capitol on January 5th and January 6th and then leading the charge through the first ste of barriers to the US Capitol.
SAG-AFTRA’s national board voted unanimously this morning to launch the guild’s first strike against the film and television industry since 1980. The strike is set to begin tonight one minute past midnight, with picketing at all the major studios.
SAG-AFTRA President Fran Drescher and National Executive Director and chief negotiator Duncan Crabtree-Ireland are speaking a press briefing at the guild’s national headquarters in Los Angeles. With the Writers Guild strike now in its 73rd day, this will be the first time that actors and writers have been on strike at the same time since 1960, when Ronald Reagan was president of the Screen Actors Guild.
President Joe Biden has authorized the military to call up 3,000 reserve troops to support operations in Europe after tens of thousands were sent there last year after Russia’s invasion of Ukraine, a top general said Thursday.
Although it is not clear whether Defense Secretary Lloyd Austin plans to actually deploy these reservists anytime soon, the move suggests that the U.S. military’s training mission in Europe, along with the deployment of several new brigades after the invasion, has stretched active-duty forces. “This reaffirms the unwavering support and commitment

Republicans sour after he slams the popular governor 14 replies
Former President Donald Trump, up by double digits over every GOP opponent in the critical early-voting state of Iowa, took a swing at the state’s popular Republican governor — and it may have backfired.
Some influential Republicans in the state tell The Washington Times that Mr. Trump‘s social media attack on Gov. Kim Reynolds has caused them to rethink their support. They believe many others will follow.
“She’s more popular here than he is, by far,” said Cody Hoefert, the former co-chair of the Iowa Republican Party. “And when he goes after her, that doesn’t bode well for him.”
Joe Biden is on the last day of his European trip in Helsinki, Finland for the U.S.-Nordic Leaders’ Summit.
He’s been having a difficult time, being led around by the other foreign leaders, even with them having to physically move him into place. On Wednesday, he couldn’t even get Ukranian President Volodymyr Zelensky’s name right and snapped at a reporter who dared to ask Zelensky how soon after the war was over would he want to join NATO.But one of the other points of Biden’s trip was to talk about climate change. As he explained on his last day in Lithuania, “We all must summon the common will to address
Former New Jersey Gov. Chris Christie and Sen. Tim Scott, R-S.C., both reached the donor requirement set forth by the Republican National Committee (RNC) to participate in the first GOP presidential debate scheduled for late August.
Christie, who was polling at around 1% in late June, said in an interview with CNN's Anderson Cooper Wednesday that his campaign "went past 40,000 unique donors in just 35 days."
"And [to] give you some perspective because I ran eight years ago, in 35 days eight years ago, we had 5,000 donors. Over 40,000 donors now," Christie said. "There is a donor in every state in America, and
The dethroned king of beers has fallen on hard times. Its short-lived dalliance with fake woman Dylan Mulvaney and implicit endorsement of the Left’s efforts to force us all to accept the trans madness has not only cost Bud Light its position as America’s top-selling beer, but the Drag Queen of beers isn’t even in the top ten anymore. Bud Light is now the 14th-best-selling beer in the United States, and fairly soon, Anheuser-Busch executives will look back fondly at the days when it was as high as 14th place.
The financial news site Benzinga reported Monday that “a recent YouGov survey reveals the decline in Bud Light’s ranking,

The White House is touting its decision to buy air conditioners as a part of a plan to promote "equity and environmental justice" during a historic heat wave that it attributes to climate change. A Tuesday memo from the Biden administration said that heat wave included record-high daily high temperatures in several areas of the country. The plan cited its $3.85 billion Low Income Home Energy Assistance Program that it said helped lower cooling costs and will provide air conditioning units for low-income households for over 6 million households. "The situation is alarming, and it requires an all-of-society response to
Jared Kushner, former President Donald Trump’s son-in-law who held position in the West Wing, was reportedly questioned before a federal grand jury in recent weeks about Trump’s efforts to overturn the 2020 presidential election. The report by New York Times journalists Michael S. Schmidt and Maggie Haberman is the latest indication that federal prosecutors continue to look at charging the former president for his role efforts to stay in power and the Jan. 6 attack on the U.S. Capitol.
“The line of questioning suggests prosecutors are trying to establish whether Mr. Trump was acting with corrupt intent as he sought to remain in power — essentially that his efforts were knowingly
Pornography used to make its way to the Supreme Court regularly.
In a 1964 case, Justice Potter Stewart had one of the most colorful lines ever in a Supreme Court opinion, despite or perhaps because his line was not particularly scholarly. It was a case where the Court struggled to define “hard-core” pornography that was not protected by the First Amendment versus soft core stuff that was.
The Justices were reluctant to admit to any expertise in the subject. Stewart, however, declared in his concurring opinion “I know it when I see it.”
Joe Biden made several of the wrong sorts of headlines during his recent trip to England and then to the NATO summit. First, there were the awkward interactions between the President, the Welsh Guards, and King Charles III. Then there were more bad visuals during the summit in Vilnius. As Karen already discussed yesterday, one of the agenda items that had a lot of people talking was Biden’s decision to skip the leadership dinner and return to his hotel room in Lithuania. A few different reasons were offered for that. There was the public excuse given by his staff who said that the
