Dept. of Education Says George Mason University
Violated Civil Rights Law with DEI Hiring Practices
Posted By: Dreadnought, 8/23/2025 2:15:55 AM
The Department of Education announced on Friday that George Mason University (GMU) allegedly violated civil rights law by “illegally using race and other immutable characteristics in university practices and policies, including hiring and promotion.” The department’s Office for Civil Rights (OCR) opened an investigation into GMU in July after receiving complaints from several professors alleging that university leadership adopted DEI policies in 2020 to present, giving preferential treatment to potential and current faculty from “underrepresented groups” to advance “anti-racism,” the department said in a press release.

It's beginning to look like the British people have had enough. Enough illegal immigration, enough "asylum seekers" being housed in British hotels at taxpayer expense, enough no-go zones, enough grooming gangs, enough knife attacks, enough rape. They've had enough, and this weekend just past, they sure let their government know about it.
The question is, how much good will it do?
Mass protests have exploded outside migrant hotels across the country this weekend as furious families gathered in major cities including Birmingham and London.

Sikh advocacy groups estimate there are approximately 150,000 to 200,000 Sikhs working in the trucking industry, with around 90% (135,000 to 180,000) being drivers. They constitute about 18% of the total truck drivers in the US and up to 40% are based in California.
This fact was buried in the 6th paragraph of a story about that Indian-national truck driver (Harjinder Singh, billed out of Stockton, CA) accused of causing three fatalities in a minivan with his truck on the Florida Turnpike earlier this month.
France summoned U.S. Ambassador Charles Kushner on Sunday after he published a scathing open letter in the Wall Street Journal to President Emmanuel Macron, accusing the French government of failing to adequately combat rising antisemitism and warning that “public statements haranguing Israel embolden extremists.”
The diplomatic confrontation escalates tensions between Washington and Paris over France’s approach to Jewish safety and Middle East policy, with Kushner’s Wall Street Journal letter — dated Monday, August 25, but released to the press late Sunday afternoon

Of South Carolina Shooting Alert Sparks Confusion 4 replies
In a strange turn of events at the University of South Carolina, a video showing a person carrying an umbrella sparked panic, with many fearing a gunman on campus. The university even issued an alert. However, social media posts suggest the confusion arose because people mistook the umbrella for a firearm. Police later confirmed there is no evidence of an active shooter, but students and staff were asked to remain sheltered until an official all-clear is given.
OSINTdefender posted a video on X, stating, “A video allegedly shows an active shooter at the University of South Carolina in Columbia,
Midterms traditionally run against the party in power in the White House.
But some important facts explain why Democrats are freaking out over the redistricting in Texas.
We previously reported on the huge shift in party registration numbers, according to a recent analysis. When Democrats have lost 2.1 million registrations and the Republicans have gained 2.4 million over the past four years, I think you can call that a "crisis" for Democrats.
Then, too, they are cratering to historic lows in approval as well. In July, they had 19 percent approval in a Quinnipiac poll, and then hit a 35-year low
A federal judge on Friday blocked the Trump administration from cutting off federal funding to dozens of "sanctuary" cities and counties — covering several of the largest cities in the U.S. The judge had previously ruled in April that it was unconstitutional for President Trump to freeze funding for local governments that limit their cooperation with Immigration and Customs Enforcement — commonly known as sanctuary cities. That ruling applied to more than a dozen cities and counties that had sued the Trump
Ever since Trump’s first term, the political and media establishment told us that his trade policies were reckless, destructive, and doomed to wreck the U.S. economy. Every so-called expert on cable TV preached that they would crush American consumers, tank the stock market, and send our economy into a spiral.
We’re still waiting for that to happen.
Here we are in Aug. 2025, and the Congressional Budget Office just dropped a bombshell that completely shatters the left’s narrative against Trump’s tariff strategy.
As of August 19, we estimate that the effective tariff rate for goods imported into the United States has increased

After firing the head of the Defense Intelligence Agency (New: SecDef Fires Defense Intelligence Agency Chief – RedState), Secretary of Defense capped off his Friday by dismissing the Chief of the Navy Reserve, Vice Admiral Nancy Lacore (that organization still has her bio posted indicating either sloth or rebellion) and the Commander of Naval Special Operations Command, Rear Admiral Milton "Jamie" Sands.
According to the US Naval Institute, “Effective immediately, Rear Adm. Milton ‘Jamie’ Sands III will no longer serve as commander, Naval Special Warfare Command,” the official told USNI News. “Effective immediately, Vice Adm. Nancy Lacore will no longer serve as the chief of Navy Reserve.”
In what is being called the largest single-year cut in civilian federal employment since World War II, 2025 will end with 300,000 fewer workers employed by the United States government.
New Office of Personnel Management (OPM) Director Scott Kupor told several news outlets, most recently the New York Times, that the federal workforce will drop from 2.4 million to 2.1 million employees, largely as the result of the Department of Government Efficiency’s (DOGE) efforts.
In a lengthy interview this week with Washington, DC, station WTOP, Kupor said that up to 80 percent of the reductions
The Department of Homeland Security (DHS) shot back at establishment media outlets for using the leftist, politically correct term “undocumented” to describe illegal aliens in the U.S. interior, making it clear that it will not succumb to the left’s “open borders pronouns.”
In a post on Wednesday, DHS shared a variety of headlines from establishment media outlets: “Undocumented immigrant caused in fatal drunken crash to remain jailed,” “Eleven undocumented immigrants arrested in Seymour,” and “Who are the undocumented immigrants in Texas?”
“‘Undocumented immigrant’ is the immigration equivalent of ‘they/them,'”

A former top aide to Mayor Eric Adams — and current adviser to his re-election campaign — handed a Big Apple reporter a potato chip bag stuffed with cash Wednesday, according to a report and sources.
Winnie Greco gave the bag to Katie Honan, a reporter at The City, just steps away from Hizonner’s new campaign office in Harlem, The Post confirmed.
Neither Adams nor his re-election campaign are implicated in the incident. Greco, 62, ran into Honan outside the Harlem campaign office, and the reporter later received a text asking her to meet across the street at a nearby TD Bank, according to the report.
Honan met Greco at the bank, then

The headline read: “If We Really Did Have a ‘Creator,’ He Certainly Wouldn’t Have Been Very intelligent.”
Say what?!
The headline -- and story -- were on a site called The Daily Galaxy, of which I know nothing. But the piece and its banner were spawned by a remark Neil deGrasse Tyson made during one of his many public talks/interviews. At one point, Tyson actually stated, “If we had a creator, I’d have to say that the creator is pretty stupid.”
Unlike Neil deGrasse Tyson Himself, of course. I mean, he’s brilliant.
Tyson also magnanimously stated: “I have no problems, if as we probe the origins of things, we bump up

Supreme Court Justice Ketanji Brown Jackson invoked a popular comic strip in an angry dissent, accusing her colleagues of being in the bag for President Donald J. Trump.
The left-winger who was appointed by disgraced former President Joe Biden to fulfill his pledge to put a black woman on the SCOTUS has repeatedly shown that she lacks the intellect and temperament for the job with her emotional antics.
Not that another example was needed, but Jackson served it up anyway, describing the court’s latest overruling of an activist lower court judge who blocked the ending of DEI-based grants at the National Institutes of Health (NIH) as “Calvinball.”

In the wake of President Donald Trump's crime crackdown, which is reportedly heading to Chicago next, an absolute unit of an AWFL stepped forth to deliver a post that broke the internet. Her name is Jill Ciminillo, and she wants you to know that she was carjacked in Chicago. Not only that, but she had her arm broken by the criminals who violently attacked her. In fact, she posted pictures of her bruising to prove it,
Representative Al Green, who has served Texas’s 9th Congressional District since 2005, will finally leave office.
The Texas Legislature, led by Republicans, passed a legal redrawing of congressional maps that effectively eliminates District 9. Green, best known not for legislation but for shouting down President Trump during his address to Congress in March 2025, will be removed from office after nearly two decades of loud, ineffective, and divisive politics.
Unsurprisingly, Rep. Al Green called the redistricting racist. But the only racial injustice here is the Democrat Party’s decades-long abuse of district lines to cling to power.
We learn the lesson as children that we are the company we keep — and this holds true for politicians seeking power over us.
The allies they choose tell us what they find tolerable, and the more heinous the compan, the more we should be on guard about what changes are coming our way.

This week the FBI conducted a seven- or eight-hour raid on former National Security Advisor John Bolton’s home and his office. (Unlike raids such as those the Biden administration conducted against Trump, his employees, advisors, and associates, no press was alerted and engaged, so reports are from bystanders who videotaped it on their cell phones.) Is the raid on John Bolton’s home retribution? Revival of a dormant case against him for mishandling national security? Something more sinister?
I don’t know why anyone is giving George Conway a platform anymore, but for some reason he appeared on the latest episode of The Bulwark’s podcast. Naturally, he served up one of the wildest, most paranoid rants you’ll ever hear outside of an MSNBC broadcast.
He doesn’t have a shred of serious analysis left. All he’s doing now is spoon-feeding the anti-Trump crowd the junk they crave—cheap conspiracy fuel to prop up their endless fearmongering.
“If Donald Trump gets control of policing in the Capitol,” Conway warned ominously, “he wants complete control… think about the consequences.” Then he went full Hollywood thriller:
The Left pretends to pity the plight of the people we used to call “vagrants” but are now required to call “homeless.” Their numbers keep growing – despite the fact that we keep throwing money at them and giving them free housing, free meals and other free stuff.
Let’s stop right there. That last sentence, expressed as I just expressed it, is easily recognized as a “Fox Butterfield.” He was a New York Times columnist who expressed puzzlement at the “paradox” that more criminals were being sentenced to prison even though crime was down.
Harjinder Singh, an illegal alien from India who allegedly made an illegal U-turn in a tractor-trailer rig he was driving in Florida, which resulted in a pile-up and three deaths, has been ordered held without bail.
A California man charged with vehicular homicide and manslaughter in a two-vehicle crash on Florida's Turnpike that left three dead earlier this month has been ordered held without bail.
Harjinder Singh, 28, an undocumented immigrant from India, made his first appearance Aug. 23 from the St. Lucie County Jail via a Zoom link to the downtown Fort Pierce courthouse. He is charged with three counts each of vehicular homicide and manslaughter.

A few years ago, on the way home from a road trip, my wife and I stopped at a Cracker Barrel along the highway. The kids had never been to one, and we wanted to share with them one of our favorite childhood experiences. Needless to say, we were disappointed. It took forever to get our food. And when it finally arrived, the food wasn’t just bad. It was downright awful. The waiter, bless his heart, was a space cadet.
On the way out, our kids asked in genuine befuddlement why we talked the place up so much.
At least four people are dead, including a child, and 19 others were wounded in shootings across Chicago during the weekend, according to police. The ages of the victims range from 5 to 48. In the first shooting of the weekend, a 33-year-old woman was driving just before 7 p.m. in the 1900 block of West 66th Street when she suffered a gunshot wound to her right eye. Police said an unknown suspect inside a black vehicle fired multiple gunshots in the victim's direction and then fled in an unknown direction.
