Nursing Schools Can Finally Cure the DEI Disease

Most Americans don’t realize this, but their health has been at risk for years.

Firm Roy Cooper Lured to North Carolina
With Tax Incentives 1 reply
A Chinese solar company whose wholly owned American subsidiary won millions of dollars in tax incentives from former North Carolina governor Roy Cooper (D.) in 2024 is now seeking a full exit from its U.S. business in what one domestic advocacy group said is the direct result of President Donald Trump’s trade policies.
Cooper, now the Democratic nominee for North Carolina’s open Senate seat, rolled out the welcome mat for Boviet Solar in April 2024, gifting the company’s CEO with a hand-made pot emblazoned with the North Carolina seal during a televised press conference in which he touted a $32.6 million state and local incentive package to help the firm open
That the Japanese will not allow pro-jihad, pro-Sharia elements to take over their country in the name of diversity and political correctness is clearly evident from a wave of viral videos showing large crowds in Fujisawa taking to the streets to oppose a proposed mosque project which is expected to be one of the largest mosques in the area.
At the heart of the strong resistance that thousands of Japanese participating in these demonstrations have shown are multiple practical and socio-cultural implications, including traffic congestion during prayer times and potential noise disturbances. These are all valid concerns, as Muslims across the globe are
Prosecutors Joseph Cooney and Molly Gaston, both of whom served in the Department of Justice (DOJ) under former President Joe Biden, apparently targeted Catholic nuns for attending the “Stop the Steal” rally on January 6, 2021, according to recently released text messages. Text messages shared on Wednesday by Sen. Chuck Grassley (R-IA)—who is investigating Arctic Frost, a Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI) probe into Republicans and conservatives—reveal that Biden DOJ prosecutors Cooney and Gaston seemingly targeted Catholic nuns attending the “Stop the Steal” rally. Grassley said the texts demonstrated a “total disdain for equal justice” and an apparent willingness to target people based on their religion.
Breitbart News noted that ATF Director Robert Cekada signed a rulemaking package Wednesday afternoon and it contained a “clarifying amendment” that would require would-be gun buyers to select their biological sex on Form 4473.
Form 4473 is the firearm transaction form used when a background check is performed on a gun buyer. Under President Biden, changes were made to allow would-be gun buyers to choose “female,” “male,” or “non-binary.” The amendment in the package signed by Cekada would return the form to requiring would-be gun buyers to select their biological sex.
California’s bullet train can’t catch a break.
The state’s High-Speed Rail Authority board punted a vote Wednesday on its long-awaited business plan — after it was revealed that the project’s cost had ballooned to a staggering $231 billion.
Lawmakers and budget hawks have ripped the Los Angeles-to-San Francisco train project as incomplete, opaque and possibly illegal, with the authority moving to delay a vote until next month. Two days earlier at a tense Senate Transportation Committee, government watchdogs in the Legislative Analyst’s Office warned that the plan doesn’t meet basic legal requirements after new station locations were proposed.
Ian Choudri, CEO of the High-Speed Rail Authority, promised to provide
A grand jury on Wednesday indicted a Louisiana sheriff whose office came under investigation after 10 inmates broke out of a New Orleans jail in an audacious escape that happened on her watch.
Orleans Parish Sheriff Susan Hutson is not accused of helping the inmates pull off the brazen jailbreak through a hole behind a toilet, setting off a monthslong search before all the escapees were eventually captured. Louisiana Attorney General Liz Murrill said a state probe instead found that Hutson’s poor management of the jail led to the escape.
The 30-count indictment handed up by a New Orleans grand jury charges Hutson with malfeasance, obstruction of justice and falsifying public records.

A federal judge sentenced a North Carolina woman to prison this week and ordered her to repay over six figures worth of food stamps that she stole from hungry families. Shermeca McCrary, a Wayne County woman, was sentenced to six months in prison, followed by three years of supervised release, and to pay a forfeiture money judgment of $102,000 for her role in a scheme to steal more than $100,000 in Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program benefits.
McCrary had one job: decide which state residents were eligible to receive how much in food benefits.
Instead of helping the poor get access to food stamps, she allegedly used her position and privileges as a

A wave of party switching in West Virginia is reshaping the state’s political landscape, with tens of thousands of voters — including more than 16,000 Democrats — registering as Republicans since early 2024, according to new data released by the secretary of state. West Virginia Secretary of State Kris Warner reported that 68,235 voters have changed party affiliation since Jan. 31, 2024, signaling a significant shift ahead of the state’s May 12 primary election.
Among the biggest changes, 16,910 voters switched from Democrat to Republican, while another 20,003 unaffiliated voters also moved to the GOP, according to the data.
At the same time, 12,299 Democrats left their party to become unaffiliated,

A Florida lawmaker yelled into a bullhorn Wednesday on the floor of the Florida House of Representatives to protest new congressional district maps supported by Republican Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis.
DeSantis unveiled new maps for the state Monday, which would allow the GOP to gain four seats in the United States House of Representatives. Video posted on X Wednesday showed Democratic state Rep. Angie Nixon taking the bullhorn and shouting as voting on the legislation was underway. “This is an assault on our democracy! This is a violation of the constitution!” Nixon, who is running for the Democratic nomination in the special election for the U.S. Senate
Lame-duck Minnesota Gov. Tim Walz made a stunning about-face after the federal raids on Minnesota day care centers Tuesday — after previously denouncing fraud investigations as “white supremacy.”
FBI Director Kash Patel, however, quickly hit back after the failed 2024 Democratic vice presidential nominee appeared to take credit for the federal operation.
In a thread on X, Walz said he was putting criminals “on notice” and said the FBI was working with state officials. “Come again? This FBI and DOJ with our DHS partners drafted and executed every search warrant today. But go ahead and take credit for our work while we smoke out the fraud plaguing Minnesota under

Agriculture Secretary Brooke Rollins said Tuesday that a recent review found thousands of Americans who receive Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program benefits in just one state are actually driving luxury vehicles.
Rollins did not identify the state, except to say it was led by a Republican, but said a scrutiny of the federal food stamp program uncovered that thousands of people who are getting the benefits in that one state are also rolling to stores in Bentleys and Teslas.
The study, conducted by the Foundation for Government Accountability, connected 14,000 luxury vehicles to food stamp enrollees, with Lexus being the most common brand.

First Lady Melania Trump’s supporters are organizing a grassroots boycott of advertisers for ABC’s Jimmy Kimmel Live! amid a report saying that Disney is “ready to pull” the plug following the left-wing TV host’s comments fantasizing about President Donald Trump’s death just days before the third documented assassination attempt on his life. Kimmel is facing intense backlash from scores of fed-up Melania Trump fans after he called the First Lady an “expectant widow” before a gunman attempted to assassinate President Trump at the White House Correspondents’ Dinner on Saturday evening.
Woke Rep. Ilhan Omar, D-Minn., lashed out at a LindellTV reporter when pressed about massive discrepancies in her congressional financial disclosure forms, which once listed her net worth as high as $30 million before an amended filing reduced it to under $95,000.
In a hallway exchange captured on video, the reporter reminded Omar that she had previously called her “stupid” for asking about the filing and asked how she could make “such a big mistake,” prompting Omar to reply, “I still think you’re stupid for asking me anything.”
When the journalist pressed for an explanation for LindellTV’s audience and “the American people,” Omar snapped, “I don’t want to tell you jack s—t.
In a skit last Thursday, ABC’s late-night host Jimmy Kimmel pretended to be the host of the White House Correspondents’ Dinner and remarked of Melania Trump, “You have a glow like an expectant widow.” Given that President Trump had already survived two assassination attempts, it was tasteless even at the time. But the remark aged even more poorly when a third aspiring assassin crashed the actual event days later.In a rare statement, the understandably shaken first lady condemned Kimmel, saying, “His monologue about my family isn’t comedy — his words are corrosive and deepens the political sickness within America.”
The indictment of Dr. Anthony Fauci’s former adviser David Morens Tuesday revived calls for the Justice Department to prosecute Fauci himself for allegedly lying to Congress about funding risky research in China before the COVID-19 pandemic.
Just two weeks remain before the five-year legal deadline on May 11 to indict Fauci for denying under oath that he funded “gain of function” experiments that modified bat coronaviruses in the same city where the pandemic started.
Morens, 78, was charged with one count of conspiracy, two counts of destruction, alteration, or falsification of records in federal investigations and two counts of concealment, removal,
Former Democrat Rep. Barney Frank in Hospice

Former Democrat Rep. Barney Frank has entered hospice care.
Barney Frank, 86, is in hospice care at his home in Maine, where he resides with his husband. Frank is suffering from congestive heart failure.
Barney Frank was one of the Democrat Reps who authored the Dodd-Frank bill, which was put in place after the 2008 bank crash.
The government arguably caused the failure and then turned around and put in a massive amount of regulations in response to the failure. The Dodd-Frank bill put enormous strain on smaller banks, and eventually, some of the regulations were rolled back.
Ironically, Barney Frank sat on the board of Signature Bank,

has ‘completed demolition’ of Voting

The Supreme Court’s liberal justices called their colleagues’ decision clawing back race-based redistricting on Wednesday a “now-completed demolition” of the Voting Rights Act.
In a 48-page dissent, Justice Elena Kagan held up the landmark 1965 law as helpful to the nation’s progress on racial discrimination.
“At this last stage, the Court’s gutting of Section 2 puts that achievement in peril,” Kagan wrote.
“I dissent because Congress elected otherwise,” she continued. “I dissent because the Court betrays its duty to faithfully implement the great statute Congress wrote. I dissent because the Court’s decision will set back the foundational right Congress granted of racial equality in electoral opportunity. I dissent.”
I spent many years in the corporate world, working on big projects of one sort or another. On any such big project, it seems that there was almost always one person who spent every day for the months (or years) that the work went on with his/her feet up on the desk, smoking and joking, and never joining in the work. But when the work was done, the project closed out, the final audits done, when it was time for a celebratory champagne, cake, and photograph session, this person was always first in line for the champagne and cake, and at the front of all the photographs.
Former Rep. Barney Frank, a liberal icon who was a key architect of the landmark Wall Street regulations Democrats enacted in the wake of the 2008 financial crisis, has entered hospice care at his home in Maine. And as one of his last acts, he is preparing to release a book repudiating his party’s left flank. A champion of liberal causes during his 32 years representing Massachusetts in the House, Frank says progressive Democrats have “embraced an agenda that goes beyond what’s politically acceptable.” “Until we separate ourselves from that agenda, we don’t win,” he said in an interview Tuesday.
Sure, it's not antisemitism. It's a political statement against Bibi Netanyahu or something.
A benefit concert for the victims of the Bondi Beach massacre in Australia has been canceled because the choir that was scheduled to sing refused to share the stage with a Jewish choir group.
You can't make this up. Surprised to find an action like this from the cultural elite? I'm not.

In lighter news, the internet was abuzz during the recent White House visit from King Charles III and Queen Camilla of the United Kingdom. Why? Cameras caught the U.S. president getting a little handsy with his wife, Melania. [Tweet]
Of course, it’s not standard protocol for any president to pat his wife’s behind in the middle of an official state visit, in full view of the media and the world, but remember: This is President Donald Trump. He breaks rules like this, and people often love him or hate him for it, and he seems to relish every minute of it.
The Federal Reserve is reported to be historically apolitical, meaning all considerations are absent of politics. However, no individual Federal Reserve Chairman has been more overtly political than Jerome Powell.
Today, after announcing yet again the Fed will not lower interest rates, Chairman Jerome Powell announced he will not leave the board of the federal reserve even after his term has expired and he is replaced by recently advanced Kevin Warsh. Powell said he plans to maintain a “low profile” as a governor, but it will be the first time since 1948 that a Federal Reserve Chairman has stayed on the board at the end of their chairmanship.
Republicans took a bold stand against the radical left’s sacred cow: the so-called Freedom of Access to Clinic Entrances (FACE) Act. The hearing exposed how the Biden DOJ weaponized this law as a club to smash pro-life Americans while turning a blind eye to violent attacks on pregnancy resource centers and churches.
Freshman Rep. Brandon Gill (R-TX) delivered one of the most uncomfortable moments for the abortion lobby in recent memory.
Gill directly confronted Jessica Waters, Assistant Professor of Justice, Law & Criminology and a vocal advocate for abortion access, asking which BARBARIC abortion method she preferred.
