[FrontPage] In 2021, the Equal Justice Institute celebrated a settlement with the University of California in which the system agreed to stop using SAT and ACT test scores, objective merit-based metrics, in college admissions, until 2025. The racialist lawsuit claimed that test scores violate the California Constitution’s Equal Protection Clause as “indicators” of race.
The “SAT is a barrier to equal opportunity”, Lisa Holder, a counsel with the Equal Opportunity Institute, claimed.
Like a lot of destructive leftist activists, Lisa Holder received a Soros Justice Fellowship from the radical billionaire’s Open Society Foundation. The similarity in the names of the Equal Justice Society and Soros’ Open Society Foundation is more than strictly coincidental as Soros was one of the EJS’ founding donors.
Beyond drawing six figures in compensation from the Equal Justice Society, Lisa Holder has her own law practice that focuses on racial issues and occasionally draws a check for teaching at UCLA.
Holder is also a member of California’s Reparations Task Force which has proposed to bankrupt the state and its taxpayers with as much as $800 billion in racial reparations in a state that was never a slave state. Among the various aging machine politicians (along with Kamala’s minister) who staff the task force, she may be the most important and effective racial campaigner on it.
Lisa Holder had fought to end California’s ban on racial discrimination through affirmative action in a proposition backed by $1 million from George Soros’ Open Society Policy Center, along with former Microsoft CEO Steve Ballmer, the wife of Netflix CEO Reed Hastings and major corporations and nonprofits. Despite all the billionaires and companies in her corner, Californians turned down the proposition to legalize racial discrimination.
What voters wouldn’t go for, California’s extremist one-party legislature did. Holder claims credit for drafting two bills, AB 241 and 242, which mandated indoctrination in racist woke ideologies for doctors, lawyers and judges. Implicit bias training has been linked to all sorts of racist ideas and discriminatory practices associated with critical race theory including ‘white privilege’. It has also been shown to encourage medical professionals to dispense treatment and prioritize triage based on race rather than medical need potentially using racial discrimination to kill people.

The California budget is $300B so their reparations fund will have be done as a layaway. Their stupidity did us a great service. If their scam had come in at $10B or less, they would still be building their narrative, which they could have subsequently robbed like they did the super train funding. The real cost of the reparations stupidity would have still been $300B but they didn’t low ball the quote to get initial approval.

Genius idea, making a UC system diploma for a minority graduate suspect of being an affirmative action, participation trophy!

Yeah.
What I find curious is the folks screaming about Tennessee's governor being a RINO (which he is, trust me) because he wants to introduce Red Flag laws at a State level are forgetting that Trump wanted to do it on a National level, ignoring the fact that it blatantly violates our Bill of Rights by allowing seizure of personal property and depriving us of due process.
Then there's folks that are screaming about the ATF's doing an unconstitutional rule change on AR pistol braces and certain triggers while conveniently forgetting that Trump gave them the go-ahead when he told the ATF to change the rule on bump stocks.
And please spare me the remarks about him doing it because he knows the Supreme Court will overturn it later.
First, even if the Supreme Court decides to hear the cases, that will be at least a couple years down the road and second, what fucking good is it going to do? The Supreme Court isn't anything more than a paper tiger given the outstanding pro-2A decisions they've handed down lately, only to have New York, Illinois, and Washington not only thumbing their noses at them but doubling down on gun control laws with no consequences whatsoever.
Hey, Trump did some great things while he was in office, much better than that piece of shit Biden ever dreamed of doing, but his understanding of our Bill of Rights is sadly lacking.
Donald Trump is from New York, so has that culture’s ideas as his background. But he is willing to be guided by the convictions of his voters, as we’ve seen on abortion and a number of other issues. Like all the other candidates from both parties, he will not be a perfect president... but if elected he’ll do fine.

Donald Trump when President sought advice from a lot of people from all parts of the US. Secondly, he has always known how to do deep research.
Now he may have learned to be pro-active in a stealth manner. He stacked the audience at the CNN debacle very effectively a few days ago in my opinion and without bringing attention to that effort beforehand and hasn't gloated about it since.
I think he is going to be a very dangerous candidate this time around.
The orange man seems low key so far in this campaign and he is not showing any cards. He used to love press conferences and talked alot but that seems to have changed to more of an interesting stealth approach.

We are in a situation where the Administrative State is trying to choke us out. If there is someone capable and willing to punch them in the scrotum, in this moment, I don’t care about his halitosis or when he showered last. We are in need of U. S Grant leadership. McClelland candidates can run again in 12 years after the wind is knocking all the treasonous bastards together like a fleshy Newton’s Cradle.

[ZeroHedge] This will not go down well with the climate alarmists and ESG grifters...
No lesser mortal than Fed Governor Christopher Waller has dared to proclaim that climate change does not pose such "significantly unique or material" financial stability risks that the Federal Reserve should treat it separately in its supervision of the financial system.
"Climate change is real, but I do not believe it poses a serious risk to the safety and soundness of large banks or the financial stability of the United States," Waller said in remarks prepared for delivery to an economic conference in Spain.
"Risks are risks ... My job is to make sure that the financial system is resilient to a range of risks. And I believe risks posed by climate change are not sufficiently unique or material to merit special treatment."
His comments echo Chair Powell's more conservative attitude towards The Fed's responsibility for climate issues than its counterparts in Europe, who previously said that the U.S. central bank was not a climate policymaker and would not steer capital or investment away from the fossil fuel industry, for example.
So presumably this means The Fed does not believe the world will end within a decade in a devastating flood and fireball?
[Bee] WASHINGTON, D.C. — Appearing before the Senate beneath a mysterious, hooded robe, California Senator Dianne Feinstein addressed the hushed audience, speaking in a gravelly, Sidious-like voice.
"An attempt on my life by the Jedi has left me scarred and deformed, but I assure you my resolve has never been stronger," said Feinstein to roaring applause. "I feel great now! The Democrat Party is a pathway to many abilities some would consider to be... unnatural."
Feinstein then proclaimed that she hopes to serve in Congress for another 100 years.
"Power! Unlimited power!" shouted the scarred senator over the applause while whirling her electric wheelchair in circles until it ran over the foot of Senator Bernie Sanders. Witnesses later saw her at a Planned Parenthood benefit looking lively as ever in a speech in which she praised the abortion provider for its skill in killing younglings.
At publishing time, a tired, frail Senator Mitch McConnell had been overheard saying, "Into exile, I must go. Failed, I have," before escaping to the swamps of Kentucky, with intentions of waiting for the Chosen One with wavy blond hair and orange skin to rise to bring balance to The Force.
