DOJ joins suit alleging UCLA med school discriminated against white, Asian-American applicants

Quote
The Trump administration is seeking to join a lawsuit filed in federal court alleging UCLA’s David Geffen School of Medicine illegally considers race in its admission process.

The administration filed the related documents Wednesday in California’s Central District, according to The Los Angeles Times.

The filing was made by the Trump Justice Department and alleges the school uses a “systemically racist approach” to admissions that privileges black and latino applicants over those who are white and Asian-American.

Agency lawyers also allege the school engages in “racial balancing," an attempt to create a student body that is racially reflective of California. In addition, they argued such an effort is in violation of the U.S. Constitution’s Equal Protection Clause and a 2023 Supreme Court decision that banned race-based affirmative action policies in college admissions.

I do not care if the doctors, nurses, and health technicians caring for me are white, east Asian, black, or chartreuse Venusian. I just want good competent medical care.

Ghislaine Maxwell claims over two dozen alleged Epstein accomplices were never prosecuted

Quote
Former Jeffrey Epstein associate Ghislaine Maxwell claimed in recent court filings that over two dozen Epstein accomplices were never brought to trial, including 25 men who allegedly made “secret settlements” with accusers.
...
Maxwell did not name the alleged accomplices or co-conspirators but said the other four people were mentioned in a non-prosecution agreement and the sex-trafficking indictment Epstein faced before he died and were never charged.

“New evidence reveals that there were 25 men with which the plaintiff lawyers reached secret settlements – that could equally be considered as co-conspirators,” Maxwell wrote, according to the New York Post. “If the jury had heard of the new evidence of the collusion between the plaintiff’s lawyers and the government to conceal evidence and the prosecutorial misconduct, they would not have convicted."

I take Maxwell's claim with a block of salt, but see it as worth investigating and exposing any slimeballs or criminals. Her claim could have DU-folk :jerkit: ing, as they want it to be true and believe Trump could be exposed as a pedophile.

House Ethics panel finds 'substantial evidence' that supports fraud charges against Florida Democrat

https://justthenews.com/government/congress/house-ethics-panel-finds-substantial-evidence-fraud-charges-against-florida

Quote
AHouse Ethics subcommittee on Thursday published a report that said it found "substantial evidence" that supported federal fraud charges against Florida Democratic Rep. Sheila Cherfilus-McCormick.

Cherfilus-McCormick was indicted by a grand jury in November for allegedly stealing $5 million from FEMA, laundering the proceeds, and using them to fund her 2021 congressional campaign. The lawmaker has denied any wrongdoing.

The House Ethics investigative subcommittee said it found evidence of alleged violations of campaign finance laws and regulations; criminal laws; the Ethics in Government Act; the Code of Ethics for Government Service; and House rules.

“The ISC’s investigation has revealed substantial evidence of conduct consistent with the allegations in the indictment, as well as more extensive misconduct as laid out in the following Statement of Facts in Support of Alleged Violations related to violations of federal laws and regulations, as well as ethical standards,” the committee's Statement of Facts reads.

Has the Race Card been deployed by her and her peeps yet?

Mamdani Restricts ‘Gifted’ Student Program Despite Parental Advocate Objections

https://pjmedia.com/catherinesalgado/2026/01/29/mamdani-restricts-gifted-student-program-despite-parental-advocate-objections-n4948903

Quote
New York Mayor Zohran Mamdani, who received a pricey, private school education, is now looking to restrict a program for gifted and talented students that helps low income children from kindergarten onwards break the cycle of mediocre public education.

Commie Mamdani plans to eliminate the program at the kindergarten level and move the lowest grade entry for it up to third grade, the UK Daily Mail reported. This will prevent more than 2,000 students from accessing the special program at the earliest educational level. Parental advocacy group Defending Education, which previously helped win a legal case to keep the gifted and talented program in place, is condemning the move.
...
The UK outlet also stated that the program is often a chance for racial minorities "to excel" beyond what their parents might afford to pay for their education, making it even more ironic that woke Mamdani is restricting it. Naturally, Mamdani tried to pretend that his contraction of the gifted and talented program is inspired by the noble desire for equality, as he asserted he wants quality education for everyone. As leftists often do, he is hiding a downgrade of standards and elimination of a meritocratic program as "equality" when he really just means "all public school students should receive the same lousy education."

GATE programs are objects of hatred for many Progs, because the programs recognize that people are not intellectually homogeneous and foster/reward inequality.

Lemon dished hate on Trump for about a decade. Trump was President January 2017 through January 2021. If Trump had taken Lemon's crap seriously and personally, Lemon would have been arrested 7 or 8 years ago.

Lemon was an instigator or organizer of the attack on that Baptist church. Knowing that is one thing; proving it beyond reasonable doubt in court is something else.

Trump impeachment witness Alexander Vindman announces Senate bid in Florida

...Does this slimeball have a chance?

Depends on how much of the voter rolls DeSantis has been able to clear between now and November.

Dim'Rats are only 20% - 25% of the population when illegal voters and poll fraud are removed from the leftist scum's quiver...

What the farfegneugan?  So against prisons you'll allow a group of people who assaulted you to roam free to likely do the same to others?  I guess kudos for sticking to a principle unlike so many moonbats, but I can't fathom picking that hill to die on.

Former CNN anchor Don Lemon taken into custody, sources say

https://www.nytimes.com/2026/01/30/us/don-lemon-arrest-minnesota-church-protest.html
Abbe Lowell, a lawyer for Mr. Lemon, vowed to fight the charges.

“Don Lemon was taken into custody by federal agents last night in Los Angeles, where he was covering the Grammy awards,” Mr. Lowell said in a statement on Friday. “Don has been a journalist for 30 years, and his constitutionally protected work in Minneapolis was no different than what he has always done.”

Mr. Lowell added, “This unprecedented attack on the First Amendment and transparent attempt to distract attention from the many crises facing this administration will not stand. Don will fight these charges vigorously and thoroughly in court.”

Mr. Lemon is scheduled to appear in federal court in Los Angeles on Friday morning. Now that he has been arrested, he is likely to challenge the prosecution’s case by arguing that he was not protesting, but rather covering the event as a journalist.

Former cable news anchor Don Lemon was arrested last night, multiple sources with direct knowledge tell CBS News. A source familiar says a grand jury was empaneled on this yesterday. FBI and HSI were involved in the arrest, sources say.

It was not immediately clear what charges he would be facing. CBS News has reached out to Lemon's representatives and the Department of Justice for comment.
