The Texas A&M University System, with over 153,000 students across 11 campuses, will no longer ask job applicants to make a written commitment to so-called “diversity, equity and inclusion.” The move comes after Texas Gov. Greg Abbott last month warned Texas public universities and state agencies that considering “diversity, equity and inclusion” or “DEI” in hiring violated federal and state employment laws barring any consideration “other than merit.” “Abbott’s order prompted multiple universities to make changes to hiring, particularly in the practice of asking job candidates to submit diversity statements, which are typically one- to two-page letters in which job…

Congressional investigators will get to see documents sent to federal law enforcement by banks who suspected members of the Biden family may be engaged in illegal activity, after Treasury Department officials relented and turned over the records. These “suspicious activity reports,” submitted to the Treasury Department by banks who suspected account holders were involved in illegal activity, had been routinely shared with Congress. The Biden administration suddenly stopped sending them once it became known over one hundred of them involved members of the Biden family. The documents will now be reviewed in private by the House Committee on Oversight and…
A Chinese-tied art dealer is refusing to answer questions from Congress on just who is spending as much as $500,000 on paintings by Hunter Biden, the adult son of President Joe Biden and whether Biden’s “art sales” are actually a form of foreign money laundering and influence peddling. House Committee on Oversight and Accountability Chairman James Comer, R-Ky., is stepping up his efforts to get testimony from Georges Bergès, owner of the Georges Bergès Gallery, regarding the anonymous buyers spending as much as a half-million dollars for paintings by Hunter Biden, who is not a trained or popular artist. Bergès,…
Beset by crippling inflation and questioning his mental and physical health, an overwhelming majority of Americans do not want President Joe Biden to seek a second term. The latest Yahoo News poll finds 59 percent of Americans do not want Biden to run for reelection in 2024. Only 23 percent want to see Biden again. The poll is the latest complication for a Biden campaign saddled with a deeply unpopular candidate and buoyed only by the lack of a widely-known or supported challenger. Biden failed to gain majority support for a second term among all age groups, income brackets and…
Plans by Democrat insiders to make Kamala Harris the next president of the United States, which started with her selection to be the party’s vice presidential nominee, have run into a major obstacle. Not only is Harris wildly unpopular with voters, even her own party doesn’t want her to be President Joe Biden’s successor. A new Yahoo News poll finds that only 36 percent of Democrats would want to see Harris become their presidential nominee should Biden not run for reelection in 2024, with 49 percent of Democrats preferring “someone else.” Harris’ support was weakest among Democrats older than 65…
Fed up with foreign enemies brainwashing American kids, one U.S. senator is exposing a Communist Chinese program that directly bankrolls, then influences, American classrooms. Sen. John Kennedy, R-La., introduced the “Preventing Malign CCP Influence on Academic Institutions Act” to expose a sophisticated finance program Communist Chinese leaders are using to fund lesson plans in U.S. classrooms. “The Chinese Communist Party has been targeting our universities for a long time, and Americans deserve to know whether their schools are yoking themselves to such an oppressive, authoritarian regime. This bill would shine a light on where Beijing is peddling its influence on…
A Florida sheriff accused of being a cross-dresser is waging a public war against a white supremacist organization and is even posting photographs of himself in a bra. The battle started when the neo-Nazi group “Goyim Defense League” blanketed the county and Daytona International Speedway in anti-Semitic and white supremacist flyers and used bullhorns to shout at Jewish worshippers at a local synagogue. The actions drew widespread condemnation. Among the critics was Volusia County Sheriff Mike Chitwood, who said, “We have unity in this county, we stand beside one another in this county, and we stand beside our Jewish neighbors.…
In a move that puts intense pressure on President Joe Biden, the U.S. House of Representatives voted unanimously to force Biden to declassify all intelligence related to the leak of the COVID-19 virus from Communist China’s Wuhan Institute of Virology, which had been conducting research on the virus. The bill, the COVID-19 Origin Act of 2023, is now headed to Biden’s desk. Biden must now decide whether to sign it or veto it and continue covering up lab leak intelligence. “I’ve been proud to lead this fight for the facts on COVID’s origins,” said Sen. Mike Braun, R-Ind., a sponsor…
While Antifa domestic terror cells burned crisis pregnancy centers and left-wing hordes stalked Supreme Court justices outside their homes, the FBI sent undercover informants to spy on a pro-life organization, two Texas Republican lawmakers reveal. Rep. Chip Roy (TX-21) and Sen. Ted Cruz are demanding Attorney General Merrick Garland explain why the FBI allegedly secretly surveilled recent meetings of the pro-life group Progressive Anti-Abortion Uprising (PAAU). PAAU is a liberal-leaning pro-life group. “Pro-life group Progressive Anti-Abortion Uprising (PAAU) recently alleged on Twitter that an undercover Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI) informant secretly recorded their meeting,” Roy and Cruz write in…
A congressional panel wants to know why the U.S. Department of the Treasury stopped sending Congress reports of suspicious overseas activity by U.S.-based bank accounts – right when Biden family members became the subject of the reports. House Committee on Oversight and Accountability Chairman James Comer, R-Ky., held a March 10 hearing to examine the Treasury Department’s sudden refusal to provide “suspicious activity reports” submitted by banks involving the Biden family and their associates’ unusual foreign or high-dollar transactions. “Biden’s Treasury Department continues to make excuses for its failure to provide the suspicious activity reports that are critical to our…
