Court orders UC system to rethink policy
against hiring undocumented students
Posted By: sunset, 8/6/2025 7:14:49 PM
The University of California is discriminating against students who are undocumented immigrants by refusing to hire most of them for campus jobs unless they have work authorization from the federal government, a state appeals court ruled Tuesday. UC offers employment to the small number of immigrants known as Deferred Access to Childhood Arrivals, or DACA. But the university has a longstanding policy of denying jobs to other undocumented migrants who lack federal work permits, saying it is unwilling to risk potentially costly legal actions by U.S. officials. On Tuesday, the court said UC’s policy “discriminates based on immigration status” and may violate California’s employment law.

The Office of Special Counsel has launched a formal investigation into Jack Smith, the first official legal probe into his conduct, The Post has learned. Smith is the justice department lawyer who oversaw two criminal investigations into President Donald Trump during the Biden administration, one into Trump’s handling of classified documents, the other as to whether his actions on Jan. 6th, 2021, were an attempt to overturn the 2020 election. Both cases were dismissed. The Hatch Act Unit, which enforces a law restricting government employees from engaging in political activities, has begun reviewing the former Special Counsel
A federal judge on Friday rejected a bid by 16 Democratic-led states to force U.S. President Donald Trump's administration to restore hundreds of millions of dollars of grants it canceled that support increasing diversity in science, technology, engineering and math fields. Democratic state attorneys general had urged U.S. District Judge John Cronan in Manhattan to block the National Science Foundation from canceling funding awarded to universities designed to increase the participation of women, minorities, and people in those fields, known collectively as STEM. They had argue that the Trump administration lacked the power to cap research funding and eliminate diversity programs and urged the judge to reverse grant terminations
A federal appeals court on Friday allowed President Trump to move forward with an order instructing a broad swath of government agencies to end collective bargaining with federal unions.
The ruling authorizes a component of Mr. Trump’s sweeping effort to assert more control over the federal work force to move forward, for now, while the case plays out in court. The appeals court noted that the affected agencies had been directed to refrain from ending any collective bargaining agreement until “litigation has concluded,” but also noted that Mr. Trump was now free to follow through with the order at his discretion.
Federal Reserve Governor Adriana Kugler will step down from her position on the central bank’s board, the Fed announced Friday, handing President Donald Trump a sooner-than-anticipated opportunity to install a new policymaker who aligns with his vision for interest rates. “It has been an honor of a lifetime to serve on the Board of Governors of the Federal Reserve System,” Kugler said in a resignation letter to Trump. (snip)Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent had suggested the administration might nominate someone to first fill Kugler’s seat and then later move to elevate that person to chair.
At least four tankers carrying Russian crude are idling off India’s western coast as mounting sanctions and warnings of steep U.S. tariffs disrupt oil flows, the Indian business outlet NDTV Profit reported. Two of the vessels, the Achilles and the Elyte, are anchored near the port of Jamnagar, which were both originally scheduled to arrive at the nearby Sikka terminal Thursday. The ships were loaded with crude at Russia’s export hubs and are subject to sanctions imposed by the E.U. and Britain. The delays come amid a significant shift in Indian purchasing behavior following threats from President Donald Trump, who has pledged 100% tariffs on countries that import Russian energy
The U.S. dollar is on track for its strongest weekly performance in nearly three years, while global stocks tumbled after President Donald Trump unveiled his sweeping new tariff plan targeting 92 countries facing new rates.
With just hours to go before Trump’s self-imposed August 1 trade deadline, the president signed executive orders to impose tariffs between 15 and 41 percent on goods from dozens of countries. The dollar index rose 0.1 percent on Friday morning, hitting a two-month high. Meanwhile, the Canadian dollar slumped to a 10-week low against its U.S. counterpart after the president announced a punishing 35 percent levy for the country.
A Navy pilot safely ejected from an F-35 jet moments before it crashed into a Fresno County cotton field in a fiery blaze Wednesday evening. The crash occurred about 6:30 p.m., not far from Naval Air Station Lemoore, the U.S. Navy said in a statement. The wreckage of the military jet burned as deputies with the Fresno County Sheriff’s Office, paramedics, firefighters and officers with the California Highway Patrol responded to the field north of the base. Emergency officials on the ground found the pilot with a parachute in a nearby field. A helicopter transported the pilot to a hospital for evaluation. “He is expected to be OK,”
The United States is suspending a "de minimis" exemption that allowed low-value commercial shipments to be shipped to the United States without facing tariffs, the White House said on Wednesday. Under an executive order signed by President Donald Trump, packages valued at or under $800 sent to the U.S. outside of the international postal network will now face "all applicable duties" starting on August 29. Goods shipped through the postal system will face one of two tariffs: either an "ad valorem duty" equal the effective tariff rate of the package's country origin, or, for six months, a tariff of $80 to $200 depending on the country of origin's tariff rate.
Harvard is now open to settling with the Trump administration. The Ivy League university is considering a $500 million deal as a way to end its months-long battle with the administration, according to the New York Times. News of the possible deal comes shortly after Columbia University agreed to a settlement as well, agreeing to pay more than $200 million for its antisemitism violation. With the Harvard settlement talks reportedly ongoing, the administration is now turning its attention to Duke, alleging the university has violated the Civil Rights Act. “Duke is being accused of sort of a reverse discrimination policy in selecting members of their law journal, their medical journal.”

2 replies
Today (Tuesday, July 29, 2025), the North Carolina Senate made history by successfully overriding 12 vetoes issued by Governor Josh Stein, the most ever overturned in a single day halting Gov. Stein's liberal agenda in its tracks. We are standing strong for common sense, parental rights, women, minors, businesses and freedom for North Carolinians. All 30 GOP senators voted for the overrides with 19 Democrat senators voting against them. Those overrides, however, must be ratified by the N.C. House. That vote may be months away. The bills overridden include measures to: Senate Bill 50: This bill would ensure that North Carolina becomes the 30th Constitutional Carry state.

OAK RIDGE, Tenn. (WATE) — Wednesday marked 80 years since the United States attacked Hiroshima, Japan with an atomic bomb. One group gathered in Oak Ridge at the main entrance of the Y-12 National Security Complex to remember the victims and destruction of that bombing.
The Oak Ridge Environmental Peace Alliance gathered before sunrise on Wednesday, in a similar manner that it has for the last 20 years, for a remembrance ceremony. The ceremony included a reading of the names of the victims killed in the bombing, bell ringing, and hanging paper cranes. There was also a time when accounts from those who witnessed the account were read.
A 19-year-old former Department of Government Efficiency (DOGE) staffer was beaten and bloodied by a mob of 10 minors early Sunday morning as he thwarted a carjacking attempt in the nation’s capital, according to DC police.
Edward Coristine, whose LinkedIn handle earned him the nickname “Big Balls” at DOGE, was with a woman near downtown DC when he saw the group of juveniles approach their car and “make a comment about taking the vehicle,” according to a Metropolitan Police Department incident report obtained by The Post.
“At that point, for her safety, [Coristine] pushed his significant other … into the vehicle and turned to deal with the suspects,” the dramatic report continues.
An Australian state has asked citizens to surrender machetes at disposal bins ahead of a statewide ban on the weapons aimed at combating knife crime.
Australia’s state of Victoria on Thursday announced that more than 40 machete disposal bins will be available at police stations across the state to allow citizens to safely get rid of the weapons without a penalty before the Sept. 1 ban begins.
"Owning, carrying, using, buying, or selling a machete without a valid exemption or approval will be a criminal offense," the Victorian government said in a statement.
The government is running a "Machete Amnesty" period from Sept. 1 to Nov. 30 to support the safe disposal
President Donald Trump's Secretary of Health and Human Services, Robert F. Kennedy Jr., dropped a bombshell on Tuesday about mRNA vaccines and how they actually prolonged the COVID-19 pandemic. Yes, really.In a video posted on X by the U.S. Department of Health & Human Services (HHS), Kennedy announced that the science has been reviewed, and it shows that the shots forced on the public by the government to supposedly stop the COVID pandemic actually helped cause the variants and caused the pandemic to go on longer.Kennedy announced that the Biomedical Advanced Research and Development Authority, or BARDA,

The man who once led the now-discredited “Russiagate” investigation may no longer be mentally competent to testify, according to new reports.
Paul Sperry of RealClearInvestigations reported Tuesday that former Special Counsel Robert Mueller has lived in a memory-care facility “for the past few years.”
Sperry wrote on X, “NEW: House Oversight Committee has subpoenaed Robert Mueller to appear for a Sept. 2 deposition to provide details from an FBI investigation of Jeffrey Epstein from decades ago — even though sources tell me Mueller has been living in a memory-care facility for the past few years.”
Rep. Jasmine Crockett (D-Texas), who is quickly earning a reputation for being one of the most obnoxious members of Congress, recently unleashed a torrent of foul, filthy language during a left-wing rally. All of the vitriol was aimed squarely at President Donald Trump, whom she insulted with pure venom.
Crockett was delivering an address at the MoveOn Rally in Phoenix, Ariz., where she was advocating for improved oversight on gifts given to Supreme Court justices when the verbal explosion occurred.
"Listen, Donald Trump is a piece of *, OK? We know that!" she yelled
California and New York are signaling they will move forward with plans to redraw congressional lines as Democrats look to counter the Texas GOP.
California Gov. Gavin Newsom (D) said Monday that Democrats are pursuing a plan to put mid-decade redistricting before voters, which could be “triggered” by what happens in Texas. And New York Gov. Kathy Hochul (D), appearing alongside Texas Democrats who fled to her state over the proposed maps Monday, embraced exploring “every option” to redraw congressional lines.
President Trump is putting America first again. This time, he’s going after the rigged system that counts illegal aliens in the U.S. Census, skewing congressional representation and rewarding sanctuary states with more power. On Thursday, Trump announced he’s directing the Department of Commerce to conduct a new, corrected census — one that actually counts American citizens and excludes those here illegally.
“I have instructed our Department of Commerce to immediately begin work on a new and highly accurate CENSUS based on modern day facts and figures and, importantly, using the results and information gained from the Presidential Election of 2024,” Trump announced in a post on Truth Social.
A 14-year-old boy was stabbed to death in a Bronx playground during a mass brawl in which a 17-year-old was also repeatedly stabbed, with at least five people taken into custody, according to cops and sources. Angel Mendoza was found with multiple stab wounds when police responded to the fight at Williamsbridge Oval Playground in Norwood just after 7:30 p.m. Tuesday, the NYPD said. He was jumped by a group of at least seven others while he was holding up his hands, according to one friend and witness.
Sen. Adam Schiff, the man who never missed a chance to lecture America about ethics and accountability, is now the focus of a full-blown federal criminal investigation. On Tuesday, the U.S. Attorney’s Office in Maryland, hardly a bastion of right-wing activism, revealed it is actively pursuing Schiff for alleged mortgage fraud. This isn’t some garden-variety political dustup—Schiff faces accusations that he repeatedly lied about his primary residence on federally backed mortgage applications spanning over a decade, from 2009 through 2020. While representing California in Congress, Schiff allegedly listed a Maryland property as his primary address to secure.
Since Donald Trump has begun the push to deport illegal aliens, we’ve seen stories about families being broken up, and people losing their homes or being deported without having been arrested for crimes other than illegal entry. The stories are framed sympathetically to wring American hearts, but they don’t change the debate because you can’t run a country based on emotional anecdotal narratives.
Still, that’s exactly what Democrats want the country to do. They’re suggesting that most of the 40 million illegal aliens they invited into the country over the last quarter century are doctors, engineers, or saints, and, therefore,
Project Veritas on Tuesday released a bombshell story from a whistleblower alleging former US Attorney General Bill Barr along with media figure Armstrong Williams is running an illegal immigration visa fraud scheme for elites and billionaires. Patrícia Lélis, whistleblower, former Brazilian journalist at Howard Stirk Holdings, who is in hiding abroad, told Project Veritas that she was prosecuted after reporting Bill Barr and Armstrong William to the FBI. “It is way more easy to defraud the immigration system and the government more than people think. And I have proof of that because that’s what Armstrong [Williams] and [Former Attorney General] Bill Barr does,” she said.
