Suit against LAUSD alleges ‘overt discrimination’
against white students
Posted By: sunset, 1/21/2026 2:08:34 AM
A long-running effort to help disadvantaged students of color in Los Angeles schools is under legal challenge by a group that claims the nation’s second-largest school system is discriminating against white students. The lawsuit, filed Tuesday in federal court, targets efforts to bring resources to underserved schools going back decades and rooted in battles over forced and voluntary integration. Filed in the Central District of California by the 1776 Project Foundation, the suit alleges that L.A. Unified discriminates against white students because of a program that provides more resources to schools where 70% or more of the students are nonwhite

Mexico sent 37 people accused of being criminal operatives to the United States on Tuesday, the latest apparent bid to alleviate pressure from President Trump to do more to combat the powerful groups smuggling drugs across the border. It was the first such transfer this year, when Mr. Trump’s threats of military action against Mexico have grown more direct, but the third since he took office. Mexican authorities have now sent nearly 100 people accused of being key criminals to the United States. The transfers are part of a larger effort by Mexican authorities to appease Mr. Trump as he threatens unilateral strikes inside Mexican territory
Air Force One returned to Joint Base Andrews late Tuesday with President Trump on board after experiencing a “minor electrical issue,” a White House official said.
The White House press secretary, Karoline Leavitt, said that Mr. Trump would board a different plane at the base and continue on to Switzerland, where he is expected to attend the World Economic Forum in Davos on Wednesday.
It was unclear whether Mr. Trump would arrive in time for his scheduled speech at 2:30 p.m. local time in Davos, or 8:30 a.m. Eastern, on Wednesday. He is expected to meet afterward with several world leaders,

Do licensed gun owners have a right to carry a loaded weapon into stores, restaurants and other private places that are open to the public?
California and Hawaii are among five states with new laws that forbid carrying firearms onto private property without the consent of an owner or manager. But the Trump administration joined gun-rights advocates on Tuesday in urging the Supreme Court to strike down these laws as unconstitutional under the 2nd Amendment.
Such a law “effectively nullifies licenses to carry arms in public,” Trump’s lawyers said.
If you “stop at a gasoline station, you are committing a crime,” Deputy Solicitor Gen. Sarah Harris told the court.
Russian President Vladimir Putin has received an invitation to join Donald Trump’s proposed Board of Peace for Gaza, the Kremlin said. Putin “received an offer through diplomatic channels” and Russia aims to contact the US side to clarify all the details of the proposal, Kremlin spokesman Dmitry Peskov told reporters on Monday. Argentine President Javier Milei and Canadian Prime Minister Mark Carney are set to become founding members of the Gaza committee, they said Saturday, while other invitees include Turkey’s President Recep Tayyip Erdogan and Brazil’s leader Luiz Inacio Lula da Silva.
Even in the heyday of the liberal democratic order, the conceit of the World Economic Forum induced skepticism: Once a year, the wealthiest, most powerful people on earth gather in a village in the Swiss Alps to devise solutions to the most critical problems in modern life. The slogan of the forum, “Committed to Improving the State of the World,” has long encapsulated the reason for doubt. People with the greatest stake in the status quo — billionaire executives who run the largest banks and technology companies — are cast as change agents, uniting with world leaders to pursue the betterment of humanity.
But this year, Davos seems especially challenged
The long-simmering fight between some of L.A.’s best-known billboard attorneys and Uber, one of their most frequent targets, is poised to spill out of the courtroom and onto the November ballot.
The ride-share giant is gathering signatures for an initiative that, if passed by voters, would cap how much attorneys can earn in vehicle collision cases. The company pledges the change will give victims a larger cut of their settlement money, alleging predatory attorneys are inflating medical bills to increase their own profits.
Lawyers claim it will decimate their lucrative niche
Donald Trump is planning a new “mega” consulate on Greenland fitted with bulletproof glass, as he pushes to take over the Arctic island.
Experts say he will fill the new 3,000 square metre “luxury” tower basement with armoured windows and CIA and NSA spies, as the threat of annexation looms.

The US State Department is even hiring interns who speak the island’s language as Trump looks to win locals over with $100,000 lump sums.
“People live in homes, not corporations.”
That didn’t come from a leftist on the campaign trail but from President Donald Trump.
Between defending the killing of Renee Nicole Good and disparaging the anti-ICE protests in Minneapolis, the president announced Wednesday(opens in new tab) on Truth Social that he was “immediately taking steps to ban large institutional investors from buying more single-family homes.” He called on Congress to codify the policy without details about how it would be implemented or whom it would affect.
“[The] American Dream is increasingly out of reach for far too many people, especially younger Americans,” the president wrote.
A website dedicated to leaking personal information about Immigration and Customs Enforcement officers and Border Patrol agents was reportedly subject to a cyber attack that its founder believes may have originated in Russia.
Dominick Skinner, a Netherlands-based immigration activist, told The Daily Beast that his website, ICE List, came under cyberattack Tuesday evening after the publication reported Skinner planned to release personal information, obtained through a whistleblower, about thousands of employees.
The attack, known as a Direct Denial of Service, is when a perpetrator seeks to disrupt access to a network or service by flooding it with superfluous requests in an attempt to overload the system.
United States President Donald Trump says he will slap a 25 percent tariff on any country doing business with Iran, ratcheting up pressure on its government, which is facing its biggest protests in decades.
Years of Western sanctions have battered the OPEC member nation’s economy, causing high inflation, unemployment and the collapse of its currency, the rial. The current protests were triggered by the mounting economic woes, which the Iranian government has struggled to address, partly due to its economic isolation.
Its main source of revenue comes from exports to China, Turkiye, Iraq, the United Arab Emirates and India.
The United States has designated the Egyptian, Lebanese, and Jordanian branches of the Muslim Brotherhood as global terrorist organizations, citing their alleged support for the Palestinian militant group Hamas.
This move, formally set in motion last November, will trigger sanctions against one of the Arab world's oldest and most influential Islamist movements.
The US Treasury Department confirmed the three chapters are now "specially designated global terrorists," accusing them of backing or encouraging violent attacks against Israel and American partners.

Former First Lady Michelle Obama has urged people to be “mindful” when buying from white-owned clothing brands.
During a recent interview clip circulating on social media, Obama says she actively tries to buy clothes from people of “color” in order to “make it a point.”
“If I hear of someone whose fashion that I like, and I know that they’re a person of color, I try to make it a point, but the clothes have to be available.”
“You know, I think we can all do some work to think about that balance in our wardrobes, you know.”
Actress Frances Fisher lead a left-wing assumable cast calling for a mass “walkout” in protest of President Donald Trump and a “walk in” to congressional offices to demand the president’s impeachment.
“I’m mad as hell and I’m not going to take it anymore,” the Edge of Night and Titanic star screamed into the camera at the top of the two-minute video.
“IT’S PAST TIME! On January 20, the one year anniversary of this illegal administration, we are demanding that it come to an end!” the Remove Coalition Instagram post read. “In partnership with the @womensmarch #freeamerica WALKOUT, we will then WALK IN to local congressional offices peacefully demanding impeachment
Democrat Rep. Jim Clyburn of South Carolina appeared on ‘The View’ on Monday and claimed that Republicans are trying to bring back slavery.
This is not only insane and untrue, it’s a complete perversion of history. The Republican Party was founded to end slavery in the United States. Abraham Lincoln was the first Republican president, who fought the Democrats on the issue of slavery, which escalated into the American Civil War.
Democrats do this all the time. In 2012, Joe Biden famously said to a mostly black audience that Republicans want to ‘put y’all back in chains.’
Clyburn knows better than this. They all do.

We’ve been treated to some horrendous halftime shows since the advent of the Super Bowl almost 60 years ago — think Janet Jackson/Justin Timberlake — and some fabulous ones too (think: Prince). It’s become a much-hyped tradition that gets some people excited while sending others to the kitchen to make a sandwich and get ready for the third quarter. The National Football League has notoriously strayed away from its moneymaker, football, and waded into social politics before, to the chagrin of many a loyal fan. Remember their ludicrous endzone statements that began after the George Floyd riots in 2020 and their pithy little meaningless pronouncements like,
Entrepreneur Hari Raghavan posted a screenshot of a letter he received from California looking for taxes from four years ago — after he says he moved out of the former Golden State.
“[S]eriously: 4 years later CA is hunting down those who left,” Raghavn wrote on X, adding that the state is demanding a “Narrative of the circumstances surrounding you becoming non-residents.”
“[W]hat a joke,” he added. “This is what a failing state looks like.”
Yep. [Tweet]
It’s probably not a coincidence that Raghavan has said things the Thought Police find offensive.

Somewhere out there in the great cosmos, Saul Alinsky is cackling with glee over the way Democrats are providing top cover for the commie radicals running roughshod over the rule of law in Minnesota.
The latest elected official to earn Alinsky's approval, while also making a mockery of law and order, is Minnesota's Attorney General himself, Democrat Keith Ellison. Ellison, who is Muslim and the top law enforcement officer in the state, appeared Monday on Don Lemon's livestream to discuss the Sunday ambush of services at Cities Church in St. Paul by a horde of anti-ICE agitators.
Once again, I’m going to bite my tongue because I have respect for Professor Jacobson.
But my goodness, I want to go off on Minnesota Attorney General Keith Ellison.
As we all know, Don Lemon and an anti-ICE mob ambushed a church in Minneapolis.
Assistant Attorney General for the Civil Rights Division Harmeet Dhillon suggested Don Lemon and the anti-ICE mob could face charges under the KKK Act.
Ellison? Well, he had a message for Christians: Deal with it.
To make it better, Ellison said this on Lemon’s podcast. Thank you, Teri Christoph, for transcribing:
The protest is fundamental to American society. This country started in a protest. It’s freedom of expression.
Less than 48 hours after Democrat Abigail Spanberger was sworn in as Virginia governor on Saturday, her leftist comrades pushed a slew of new laws aimed at raising taxes, enabling stolen elections, and elevating the welfare of illegal aliens over the safety of U.S. citizens.
If all the proposed legislation pass, Virginia will devolve into a crime-infested, overtaxed cesspool riddled with criminals and illegal aliens. But perhaps that’s the precisely Democrats’ goal.
Among the most chilling proposals was reducing the criminal penalties for robbery. What better way to embolden more theft?
William Kelly, the DC-based agitator who was arrested on Friday and released only to storm a St. Paul church with other anti-ICE agitators on Sunday, has said he "feels good" about his actions after visiting a local mosque that he praised, in contrast to churchgoers that he harassed on Sunday.
"So we’ve been invited to the local Somali mosque, and as you can see how beautiful it is. This is where they do their prayer," Kelly said. "This is where normally, 500 people will, you know, come and make prayer, but things are quiet because the local community is scared to come out. They’re terrified. It was an honor
House Oversight Committee Chairman James Comer (R-KY) revealed that he had “rejected” a “ridiculous offer” from the Clintons for an unofficial interview regarding the Jeffrey Epstein investigation.
In a post on X, Comer stated that the “latest demands” by the Clintons “make clear they believe their last name entitles them to special treatment.” Comer also criticized former President Bill Clinton for having “a documented history of parsing language to evade questions.”
“Facing contempt of Congress, the Clintons’ lawyers made an untenable offer: that I travel to New York for a conversation with President Clinton only,” Comer said. “No official transcript would be recorded and other Members of Congress would be barred from
A trans-identified male Minnesota state representative has come under fire for encouraging anti-ICE agitators to storm churches in the wake of such an action that took place on Sunday in St Paul, Minnesota, with one man filming himself harassing congregants as others interrupted the worship service with chants.
Dem Rep Leigh Finke wrote on Facebook, "Yesterday protesters disrupted services at Cities Church in Saint Paul, where the leader of the local ICE office also serves as pastor. The protest has caused outrage, promises of retribution and prosecution, and the usual round of upset. But it has had me thinking for the past 24 hours of the actions of Act Up
The overwhelming majority of households headed by Afghan immigrants with children in the home are on one or more forms of taxpayer-funded welfare in the United States, newly released analysis reveals.
The analysis, published by Jason Richwine at the Center for Immigration Studies (CIS), reviews Census Bureau data on Afghan immigrants in the U.S. — an immigrant group that has exploded from just 22,000 in 1990 to almost a quarter of a million as of 2024. Most significantly, the Census data shows that almost all Afghan households with children are on publicly funded welfare — similar to that of Somali immigrant households with children in Minnesota, where 81 percent
