WASHINGTON, D.C. – Today, one week after the Supreme Court’s decision in Students for Fair Admissions, Inc. v. President and Fellows of Harvard College, America First Legal (AFL) sent a demand letter to the deans of nearly every medical school in the United States, demanding that they cease discriminating based on race, sex, and national origin in admissions and faculty hiring.
Medical schools across the United States have been discriminating against students based on race, sex, and national origin for decades—admitting some students at the expense of others with better qualifications just because of how or where they were born. These schools, which are supposed to be in the business of training outstanding medical professionals, have reserved faculty positions and refused to consider exceptionally qualified candidates for interviews simply because they were White, or Asian, or male.
America First Legal’s letter demands that medical schools immediately halt these discriminatory and unlawful practices. It further puts the deans of every medical school on notice: if they do not stop, America First Legal will bring legal action against them.

Disabled ‘sexting’ Texas nun’s $1M defamation suit against bishop who accused her of breaking vow of chastity with priest is tossed by court
A judge in Texas has tossed out a Catholic nun’s $1 million defamation suit against the bishop who accused her of sexting with a priest, ruling that the court lacks jurisdiction in the dispute.
Mother Superior Teresa Agnes Gerlach and the Discalced Carmelite Nuns filed the suit against Fort Worth Bishop Michael Olson, who ejected her from the religious order after accusing her of breaking her vow of chastity with a priest.
The priest was identified this week as Father Philip G. Johnson of the Diocese of Raleigh, a Navy veteran and brain cancer survivor who first contacted Gerlach seeking prayers from her nuns.
In a ruling on Friday, Judge Don Cosby of Tarrant County’s 67th District Court said that the nuns’ suit was ‘dismissed for want of subject-matter jurisdiction’ after the bishop argued the bitter dispute was purely a religious matter.
Within hours of the ruling, the Arlington Police Department told DailyMail.com that it had also closed its criminal investigation into claims associated with the civil case, after finding no charges were merited.

President Trump plans to starve the Deep State through ‘impoundment’
Sources close to former President Trump say he has a plan for keeping Congress from ever again forcing him into “disgraceful” and “ridiculous” spending situations. If he returns to the White House, Trump will seek to resurrect authority that Congress stripped from the presidency almost a half century ago.
What President Nixon squandered, his campaign promises, Trump will restore, namely the impoundment power. “A lot of you,” the former president told a New Hampshire crowd Thursday, “don’t know what that is.” Indeed, few now remember it.
Impoundment, if restored, would allow a president, in theory, to simply refuse to spend appropriations by Congress. More than just an avenue to cut spending, Trump sees that kind of authority as key to starving, and thus crushing, the so-called “deep state.”

Peter Schweizer: Investigations Detonate Two Bombs Under Joe Biden
The discovery of a secret Joe Biden cell phone paid for by Hunter Biden’s Communist China-connected business — and new confirmation that Joe is indeed “the big guy” designated for a piece of Hunter’s shady overseas profits — are developments that may imperil the Biden presidency, Peter Schweizer says in the latest episode of The Drill Down podcast.

Much if not all of this unsavory news coming out is intended to destroy Biden’s chances of running for a second term. Kamala was selected as his VP because she constitutes an insurance policy against impeachment since no one wants her to be president. So Joe has to be taken down by exposing his crimes. Word is the bogus legal case against Trump ties into the Biden scandal as well. It is a setup so when Joe pardons himself and his whole family, he will pardon Trump and others first and try to sound statesmanlike by claiming it’s for the good of the nation, so we can put the past behind us.

Hans Niemann’s $100 Million Defamation Lawsuit Dismissed
A federal judge on Tuesday dismissed GM Hans Niemann‘s $100 million lawsuit against GMs Magnus Carlsen, Hikaru Nakamura, Chess.com, the Play Magnus Group, and IM Daniel Rensch. This means that, at least for the moment, the legal battle that followed cheating allegations toward Niemann, causing a scandal covered by media all over the world, is over.
In his lawsuit filed on October 20, 2022, Niemann against all five entities claimed slander, libel, unlawful group boycott under the Sherman Act, tortious interference with contract and business expectancies, and civil conspiracy. For each cause of action, at least $100 million was claimed.
The judge in the U.S. District Court in the Eastern District of Missouri noted that “counts 3 and 4,” both regarding a possible antitrust injury, were dismissed “with prejudice,” meaning they cannot be brought again. The other counts were dismissed for lack of jurisdiction but “without prejudice,” meaning that the court dismissed federal claims and declined to hear state claims. This leaves the door open for the case to be re-filed in a state court, for instance if new evidence appears.

Hundreds of Canadian military members file $500 million lawsuit over COVID jab mandates
Hundreds of members of the Canadian Armed Forces (CAF) last week signed onto a $500 million class action lawsuit against military leaders over the imposition of “unlawful” COVID jab mandates. According to the legal challenge, the mandates “caused the Plaintiffs harm and constitute[d] a breach of the public trust.”
A victory in the case could set an important precedent for all Canadians who have been pressured to get the experimental shots against their will.
In the 137-page statement of claim filed with the Federal Court on June 21 and viewed by LifeSiteNews, 329 individuals who have served in the CAF argued that Canada’s Chief of the Defence Staff General Wayne Eyre “issued an unlawful order on October 25, 2021, in violation of established law and constitutional rights” by requiring members of the armed forces to get the experimental COVID-19 shot or face removal from the service.
On October 8, 2021, the CAF handed down a military-wide COVID jab mandate requiring all service members to become “fully vaccinated” against the coronavirus or be discharged from service. Hundreds of unvaccinated service members were subsequently discharged.

‘My daughter was murdered by a gender ideology’: LA mom slams CPS after it took away her daughter and let her transition into a man – before she killed herself three years later aged just 19
‘My daughter was murdered by a gender ideology,’ she said at the hearing. ‘CPS took my daughter when she was 16 years old. It was helped by her public school counselor and LGBTQ group and another trans-identified girl.
‘My daughter was taken from her loving home because the state of California claims I was abusive for not affirming her trans identity. I lost my daughter over a name and pronouns.’
She went on to say that her daughter had ‘mental health issues’ and was ‘not a boy trapped in a girl’s body.’
‘Why are there so many transgender in foster care? Because this state take them from their families, tell them to run, then steals them. Parents are given one option to treat their distressed child: Affirm drugs and remove their healthy body part or else lose your child,’ she told the Judiciary Senate.
‘The abuse claim against me was finally dropped, but it was too late. The damage was done. By then, my daughter was in horrible mental and physical pain. My daughter knelt down in front of a train. She was murdered by gender ideology.’

I cannot think of any way a Buddhist can countenance what was done to Yaeli by adults. Encouraging and then enforcing a delusional ‘identity’ is the opposite of everything Buddhism stands for. To do that to a child is as bad as it gets. Buddhism is largely a gentle teaching but it is very firm on the ethics of not encouraging delusion in anyone and especially in children. To my knowledge, there is no other religion that is more squarely against what happened to Yaeli than Buddhism. Enticing, encouraging a child in their delusions and then taking her from her home and mother—this is the opposite of all Buddhist teaching. There is no way Buddhists can condone this or not speak against it. This is deeply wrong. I hope more Buddhists will join me in speaking very strongly against these laws and this kind of behavior. It is the adults who are to blame for this. ABN

It Begins, DOJ Files Motion to Limit President Trump’s Ability to Defend Himself
One of the ways you can immediately detect federal Lawfare deployment is to look at how media articles are written when they outline court filings without direct citation for review. The Hill began SEE HERE. The New York Times is similar, SEE HERE.
Notice both national publications talk about a DOJ court filing, presumably made under seal, that limits President Trump’s defense access to materials and documents used in the case against him. Notice the media do not say how they gained insight into the details of the sealed filing itself; nor do they provide any source context for how their reporting is structured. Nothing like, “according to sources with familiar with the matter” or anything similar. Just nothing; no attribution at all.
That media context is a BIG red flag indicating the need to ‘create a narrative’ is more important than the actual substance of the evidence material underpinning it.
Both stories hit on the issue of the DOJ filing a (presumably sealed) motion with the Florida court, to place limits, rules and restrictions on evidence against President Trump, that limits his ability to review it, talk about it and/or provide context for it. THIS IS A LAWFARE MOVE. This is what happens in the prosecutorial star-chambers where they hide information in order to create the appearance of something nefarious, where nothing nefarious exists.

‘Pretty staggering’: Thousands of California police officers could be stripped of their badges under new law
California’s police standards commission is bracing to decertify or suspend 3,000 to 3,500 police officers each year for serious misconduct under a new state law, according to estimates from the commission.
The estimates suggest the police officers engaging in serious misconduct in any given year could represent a significant percentage of the roughly 90,000 officers working in California, although some may already be fired or retired by the time the commission moves to strip them of their certification.
The estimates, detailed in a budget request from the Commission on Peace Officer Standards and Training, are preliminary. The commission’s new power to decertify officers took effect at the start of the year, so the commission doesn’t yet know exactly how many cases it will receive each year or how many will ultimately rise to the level of decertification. So far this year, it has already received thousands of serious misconduct complaints that it is investigating.
Lizzie Buchen, who advocated for the police decertification law and now serves on the board that will review decertification cases when they are appealed, said she was surprised that the estimates are so high.
“If we have that many officers who have committed these very serious harms against the public, that’s really serious,” said Buchen, who previously worked on criminal justice issues for the American Civil Liberties Union. “They’re basically anticipating that 4% of officers in California fit into that category, which is pretty staggering.”
Julia Yoo, a San Diego-based civil rights attorney who serves as president of the National Police Accountability Project, said the estimates are worrisome, but don’t shock her.
