...the only way these racial ideologues, grifters and hustlers get their comeuppance over stuff like this is when it personally affects them; i.e. they're dragged into court and held to account for this?

American Family News: Comeuppance is coming for ideologues in charge

An advocate of better healthcare for all doesn't think medical schools will be allowed to ignore a Supreme Court ruling forever.

In the 2023 case Students for Fair Admissions v. Harvard, the Supreme Court ruled 6-3 that race could not be a factor in college admissions.

Ian Kingsbury of Do No Harm, an organization that represents physicians, nurses, medical students, patients, and policymakers as it works to keep identity politics out of medicine, says schools' admissions processes should have become race-blind. "Instead, you had all of these medical schools and the medical establishment publicly rebuke that decision and say … essentially, 'We're going to find a way around this,'" he details.

A recent report from Do No Harm confirms that was not an empty threat. "It's hardest, for example, to get into medical school as an Asian applicant and much easier if you're black or Hispanic," Kingsbury relays. "It's frankly unacceptable that this is still happening."

He goes on to note that because of the Association of American Medical Colleges (AAMC), the organization that oversees and organizes the medical education enterprise in the United States, many in the healthcare establishment remain ideologically committed to the principle of racial favoritism and "reject the virtue of race blindness." They have reportedly embedded DEI principles and practices into every stage of medical education – from applying to medical schools all the way to selection into residency – and threatened to penalize those that are not "diverse enough."

Kingsbury says the ideologues and radicals that have hijacked these organizations to serve their own purpose simply do not care what the Supreme Court has to say, but he thinks this will inevitably get the attention of policymakers and judges, especially under Trump's leadership.

MSN: GOP Bill Straight Out Of Project 2025 Would Make Pornography A Federal Crime

(HuffPost) Sen. Mike Lee (R-Utah) reintroduced a bill earlier this month that would broadly redefine what content can be classified as “obscenity” in an attempt to criminalize pornography, a move that’s drawn comparisons to the right-wing initiative Project 2025. “Obscenity isn’t protected by the First Amendment, but hazy and unenforceable legal definitions have allowed extreme pornography to saturate American society and reach countless children,” Lee said in a May 8 release introducing the...

Waving your country's flag in regions of England is a hate crime now or something. It's no secret that the European gov'nuh really hated their own citizens.

(The Guardian) The world’s most popular podcaster, Joe Rogan, said Donald Trump’s supporters “feel betrayed” by the conflict in Iran.

“Well, it just seems so insane, based on what he ran on. I mean, this is why a lot of people feel betrayed, right?” Rogan said during an episode launched today. “He ran on, ‘No more wars,’ ‘End these stupid, senseless wars,’ and then we have one that we can’t even really clearly define why we did it.”

Rogan has slowly begun to distance himself from the US president after endorsing him in 2024. Earlier this year, Rogan compared US immigration raids to Gestapo operations during an episode where he and his guest were discussing the death of Renee Nicole Good, a 37-year-old woman who was fatally shot by an ICE agent in Minneapolis..
