• Supreme Court overrules reverse discrimination rules by 9-0 vote in Ames v. Ohio Department of Youth Services

  The case concerns a heterosexual woman who was passed over for promotion in favor of a lesbian, and demoted in favor of a homosexual, who filed lawsuit
  under Title VII, alleging that she was denied the management promotion and demoted because of her sexual orientation. The lower court applied that standing test for discrimination against a majority group, which is a higher standard — a double standard — as the one used to test for discriminations against a minority. The Supreme Court overruled this double standard, and send the case back to the lower court, reasoning that Title VII applies equally to all citizens.

  Quoting from the opinion:

The Sixth Circuit’s “background circumstances” rule requires plaintiffs who are members of a majority group to bear an additional burden at step one. But the text of Title VII’s disparate-treatment provision draws no distinctions between majority-group plaintiffs and minority-group plaintiffs. The provision focuses on individuals rather than groups, barring discrimination against “any individual” because of protected characteristics. Congress left no room for courts to impose special requirements on majority-group plaintiffs alone.

• U.S. House on May 22, 2025 (H.R. 1), just passed in the House. H.R.1 completely removes suppressors from the National Firearms Act requirements by including Section 2 of the Hearing Protection Act. This eliminates the $200 tax, registration, enhanced background checks, and other NFA burdens. The bill also preempts state regulations, refunds recent tax stamp payments, and includes other deregulatory measures.
  It passed by a single vote. Now on to the Senate.

• RFK Jr.’s HHS has canceled additional $60 MILLION in grants to Harvard

My comment: the administration at Harvard regards it as more important than the staggering truckloads of taxpayer cash flooding into their institution to maintain the DEI program of race-based admissions and hiring. Antiwhite prejudice is a core Woke doctrine, and they would rather perish than admit White men are human beings with souls equal in dignity to other races.

Why such madness? Because the Liberal mind is a limited mind. Not to put too fine a point on it, but Liberals are shallow.

• Fighting Overcriminalization in Federal Regulations

The United States is drastically overregulated.  The Code of Federal Regulations contains over 48,000 sections, stretching over 175,000 pages — far more than any citizen can possibly read, let alone fully understand.  Worse, many carry potential criminal penalties for violations.  The situation has become so dire that no one -– likely including those charged with enforcing our criminal laws at the Department of Justice — knows how many separate criminal offenses are contained in the Code of Federal Regulations, with at least one source estimating hundreds of thousands of such crimes.  Many of these regulatory crimes are “strict liability” offenses, meaning that citizens need not have a guilty mental state to be convicted of a crime.

This status quo is absurd and unjust.  It allows the executive branch to write the law, in addition to executing it.  That situation can lend itself to abuse and weaponization by providing Government officials tools to target unwitting individuals.  It privileges large corporations, which can afford to hire expensive legal teams to navigate complex regulatory schemes and fence out new market entrants, over average Americans.  

The purpose of this order is to ease the regulatory burden on everyday Americans and ensure no American is transformed into a criminal for violating a regulation they have no reason to know exists.

My Comment: Let me repeat another man’s comment instead. This is Mr. Chris Bray:

I would have voted and supported Trump just for this, regardless of the two hundred thirty some odd other triumphs listed in these columns. No more of my tax money to pay NPR and PBS to lie their filthy and insupportable lies.

How long I have dreamed of this day I cannot now recall. I first grew aware of the abominable bias of NPR and PBS in 1990

• Ending Taxpayer Subsidization Of Biased Media

I here quote the White House Press release in full. I note the White House does not hesitate to use the word “Trash” were needed.

I may be a little premature on this, but even the smallest mention makes my heart soar like a hawk:

Saw this on the Social Media Platform formerly known as Twitter.

It bears repeating. From the pen of Clandestine:

Do you all realize how good we have it?

• -Trump is cancelling WW3, while trying to reset global trade, and get rid of income tax.
• -RFK Jr. is taking chemicals out of our food and combating big pharma.
• -Tulsi is releasing files and catching leakers.
• -Hegseth is reinstating service members who refused covid shots, and removing “wokeness” from our military.
• -Kash/Bondi are rounding up violent criminals, gang members, Tesla terrorists, and more.
• -Elon is almost finished building DOGE and is exposing hundreds of billions in government waste.
• -The Trump administration officially declared COVID was a man-made pathogen, and that Fauci lied.

Anyone saying that “nothing is happening”, could not be more wrong. Trump is implementing his agenda, keeping his promises, and it has only been three months. Just because certain things haven’t happened yet, doesn’t mean they are not being worked on.

It’s a marathon, not a sprint. Embrace the process.

This text is shamelessly copied from Karl Mehta, since the pace at which we are flooded with winning has finally broken me. I simply cannot keep up. But some of these gems were too good not to share, and the Marxist media will not cover the story.

Here is the original twitter post. (https://x.com/karlmehta/status/1910696175319314882)

• Supreme Court rules Trump has authority to use Alien Enemies Act against Venezuelan illegals. Judge Boasberg’s order is void.
  The Supreme Court by 5-4 decision vacated the restraining order against Trump, and removed the Venezuelan deportee case away from Judge Boasberg (the ACLU engaged in forum shopping, and brought the case in the wrong venue).
  SCOTUS says detainees entitled to some measure of due process. Here is a link to the opinion: https://supremecourt.gov/opinions/24pdf/24a931_2c83.pdf
• President Trump has announced the U.S. will COMPLETELY eliminate capital gains tax this year. This may be a little premature, so we will see. The Congress is cooperating with the Trump agenda more unwillingly and slowly that expected.

Not tired of winning, but impossible to keep up. Some of this may be counting chickens before they are hatched:

• PRESERVING AND PROTECTING THE INTEGRITY OF AMERICAN ELECTIONS

  President Trumps new executive order on election integrity includes:
  – Mandatory voter ID with proof of citizenship
  – No more ballots counted after Election Day
  – Paper ballots ONLY, no QR codes, no barcodes
  – Federal funding tied to real election security
  – Biden’s EO 14019 officially revoked
  The executive order merely enforces existing law. It applies only to federal elections.

• Kash Patel to gut the ATF.
• Federal taxpayer-funded housing for illegal aliens is terminated by the new HUD secretary.
• Robert F. Kennedy Jr has announced plans to ban pharmaceutical advertisements on television.
• Idaho just unanimously passed a bill to give child sex abusers the automatic death penalty.
• New Tesla Model Y inventory is now completely sold out in Texas, Michigan, Ohio, Illinois, Georgia, Utah, Virginia, Alabama, South Carolina, North Carolina, Tennessee, Mississippi, Arkansas, Kansas, Missouri, Kentucky, Oklahoma, Indianapolis, Iowa, Nebraska, Hawaii, Wyoming, South Dakota, North Dakota, Montana, Idaho, Wisconsin, Maryland and Delaware.
• The Supreme Court just sided with Donald Trump blocking the lower court’s (unconstitutional) order Forcing Trump to give aid to foreign countries.

• Black Lives Matter Plaza being dismantled Farewell. Monuments to violent racist communists is a sign of civilizational suicide we are well rid of. And, yes, my dears, hatred of Caucasians, despite what commies tell you, is indeed racism.
• ActBlue is under investigation. Finally. Perhaps I am premature here, as no arrests by anyone for any crimes have taken place, not even open acts of treason, but merely bringing this to public attention is a victory, and merits mention.
• Director of National Intelligence Tulsi Gabbard REVOKES security clearances from Antony Blinken, Letitia James, Alvin Bragg, Jake Sullivan, Lisa Monaco, Mark Zaid, Norman Eisen and Andrew Weissman.Biden is no longer getting the daily brief.  Trump here is merely returning the discourtesy Biden did him. Before Biden, this was a traditional nicety extended by sitting presidents to ex-presidents. Biden is not merely a corrupt traitor, he is also rude.The 51 signers of the letter declaring the Hunter Biden laptop “disinformation” letter had their clearances revoked as well. This is at the directive of President Trump.

• WORLD WAR III AVERTED

  A peace agreement has been reached between Russia and Ukraine. Zelensky is flying to the USA to sign the deal made by President Trump.

  The terms could have been guessed by any moderately objective onlooker beforehand:

  • United States gets 50% of the revenue from Ukraine’s mineral wealth as repayment for US war aid funds.
  • No membership to NATO.
  • Ukraine concedes territory.

• Joy Reid is History.

DEI hire Joy Reid’s MSNBC show has been canceled as part of a major overhaul by the network’s new president Rebecca Kutler. A satanic liar and the daughter of her father, the father of lies, no longer has a major public platform.
Just in time for Black History Month.

Say hello to Don Lemon and Jim Acosta in the unemployment line.

• RFK Jr. has officially canceled the CDC’s flu shot campaign. God is good.
• Secretary Hegseth announced that he is firing some of our nation’s top military leaders — including Chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff General C.Q. Brown, Chief of Naval Operations Admiral Lisa Franchetti, and a number of three and four star Generals and Flag Officers.

• Commencing the Reduction of the Federal Bureaucracy

  The non-statutory components and functions of the following governmental entities shall be eliminated: the Presidio Trust; the Inter-American Foundation;  the United States African Development Foundation; the United States Institute of Peace.

Also to be eliminated: Federal Executive Boards; the Presidential Management Fellows Program; Advisory Committee on Voluntary Foreign Aid; Academic Research Council; the Credit Union Advisory Council; Community Bank Advisory Council; Secretary’s Advisory Committee on Long COVID;  Health Equity Advisory Committee;

If you have no idea whose these entities are or what they do, then they have no doubt never benefitted you one iota, despite that your tax dollars paid for them.

After years and decades of fasting, now is a feast of good news. It is more than I can track, so I publish only a partial list:

• Kash Patel Confirmed

Patel confirmed as the ninth Director of the Federal Bureau of Investigation.

• CNN Ousted

CNN has been officially ousted from the Pentagon by Pete Hegseth. They may still visit the building, but they have no office stationed there.
