Half of UCLA Med School Students Fail
Basic Tests Thanks to DEI Push
Posted By: Northcross, 5/25/2024 11:35:58 AM
Over half of the students at UCLA Medical School failed basic tests after its dean implemented race-based, woke diversity, equity and inclusion (DEI) initiatives. The University of California Los Angeles (UCLA) David Geffen School of Medicine has seen a drastic drop in its rankings, with some faculty members citing admissions decisions that “prioritize diversity over merit” as the cause. Since Jennifer Lucero was appointed to the dean of admissions in June 2020, the medical school’s ranking has gone from sixth place to 18th place.

A so-called “transgender” athlete reportedly won a women’s event in Washington on Saturday.
Veronica Garcia, a male, competed in the girls’ 400-meter dash at the Washington State Championship. According to several reports, Garcia dominated the competition but wouldn’t have stood a chance if he had competed against males (via Daily Mail): (snip) Daily Mail noted that there was “virtual silence” in the stadium as Garcia was awarded first place. The other runners stood in silence with their hands behind their backs instead of clapping.

Pro-Hamas demonstrators at Columbia took over an academic building early Tuesday to continue their “protests” over the war in Gaza.
University officials urged students and staff to keep away from campus as dozens of the anti-Israel activists occupied Hamilton Hall in defiance over the school beginning to suspend students who refused to leave an encampment set up on the quad last week. Images on social media show students breaking windows, barricading themselves in the building, and holding banners that say "intifada."
As Townhall has been covering, Columbia University threatened and has now gone through with suspending pro-Hamas student agitators setting up encampments on campus. A statement from Cornell University President Martha E. Pollack on Monday signaled that they too will go through with suspending students, as CNN highlighted as part of their live updates. The statement was merely titled "Update on campus events," and never goes into the specifics of what those "campus events" of pro-Hamas encampments entail. The Israel-Hamas conflict that began after Hamas perpetrated a terrorist attack against our ally in the Middle East is never mentioned at all.
The Biden administration took an unprecedented step this afternoon: they accused the Israeli military of human rights violations. It’s no secret that Joe Biden doesn’t want Israel to defeat Hamas. It will create a domestic headache for him at home, as the Democratic Party base has become increasingly hostile to Israel. Rafah is the last remaining Hamas bastion in Gaza; Israel is going to take it. The longer this war continues, the more incensed young voters, whom Biden cannot lose, become at Israel and the Biden White House. Also, these incidents within the IDF were all allegedly committed before October 7.

Democrat mayor Eric Adams is defending his decision to hand out pre-paid credit cards to illegal migrants living illegally in New York City. During a press conference on Friday, Adams claimed that the move is a “real win” and a “smart way to bring down the cost” of the thousands of illegal aliens who have invaded the city. (snip) Adams also said the program helped the economy which has seen record-breaking prices as rent and food reach astronomical numbers under Bidenflation.

The Department of Defense (DOD) is requesting approximately $114 million to finance its latest round of diversity initiatives.
The DOD plans to use the funds for "diversity, equity, inclusion, and accessibility" (DEIA) programs in fiscal year 2024.
"The FY 2024 President’s Budget request demonstrates the DoD’s commitment to DEIA and includes $114.7 million for dedicated diversity and inclusion activities," the department wrote in its Strategic Management Plan for fiscal year 2022 to 2026.
Speaking briefly to reporters from his swanky vacation in Lake Tahoe Friday afternoon, President Joe Biden said he officially requested congressional funding for the development of a new COVID vaccine. "I signed off this morning on a proposal this morning, to have, to present to the congress a request for addiitonal funding for a new vaccine that works and tentatively, not decided finally yet, it will likely be recommended that everybody get it," Biden said.

to Support Democrats' Agenda of Mutilating Children 26 replies
Hollywood elitists are advocating for the Democratic Party's agenda of mutilating and indoctrinating children, calling for censorship of those who oppose the Left's progressive LGBTQ push. The Gay and Lesbian Alliance Against Defamation (GLAAD) addressed big tech companies in a letter signed by over 250 brainwashed celebrities urging them to censor those who oppose and spread "hate" toward alphabet people. The letter claims that gender transition surgery is "medically necessary" for children and accused "online extremists" of actively promoting hate and violence against LGBTQ people.
On Tuesday, a federal judge in Arkansas struck down a state law prohibiting irreversible, experimental transgender surgeries and hormone treatments for minors. According to The New York Times, Judge James M. Moody Jr. of Federal Court in Little Rock said in an 80-page opinion that the law discriminated against transgender people and violated the constitutional rights of doctors in the state. Moody was nominated by Democrat President Barack Obama.
The American Civil Liberties Union (ACLU) voiced their anger towards the state of Florida because they executed a prisoner on death row, who claimed to be transgender, because they did not provide "medically necessary gender-affirming care." Using female pronouns to refer to Duane Owen, a convicted murderer and rapist, the ACLU said by not providing "gender-affirming care" it resulted in "enormous suffering and violating her right to be free from cruel and unusual punishment for the more than 30 years she was in state custody."
A biological male cyclist who identifies as a “transgender woman” won a women’s race in North Carolina over the weekend, beating the second-place finisher by five minutes. Austin Killips, 27, won $5,000 after coming in first place at the 131-mile Belgian Waffle Ride in Hendersonville on Saturday, according to the New York Post. Killips reportedly “surged ahead” shortly after the start of the race.
After the race, Killips said in an interview that he was “really proud to lay it out there and get the result.”

The Libertarian Party has chosen 38-year-old Chase Oliver as its 2024 presidential nominee.
An openly gay former Democrat who once supported Barack Obama, Oliver used his victory speech to rail against the U.S. “war machine” and demand an end to the “genocide in Gaza,” according to the Washington Examiner.
After author Michael Rectenwald was eliminated from the race during Sunday night’s voting, the final vote was between Oliver and “none of the above,” in which he ultimately prevailed with around 60 percent support. He announced economist Mike ter Maat as his running mate.
Cracker Barrel hopes splashing out $700 million on refurbishing its restaurants can save the dying chain. The six-point plan includes a makeover for stores with brighter colors to make them less dated, a new logo and new menus. New items on the simplified menu include green chilli cornbread and hashbrown casserole shepherd's pie. Two stores have already been refurbished and ten others are testing a refreshed menu. But CEO Julie Masino said prices in many outlets will rise.
The Libertarian Party on Sunday nominated party activist Chase Oliver for president, rejecting former President Donald Trump and Robert F. Kennedy Jr. after they each spoke at the party’s convention.
Third parties have rarely been competitive in U.S. presidential elections and the Libertarian candidate four years ago won 1% of the vote. But the party’s decision is getting more attention this year due to the rematch between Trump and Democratic President Joe Biden, which could hinge again on small vote margins in a handful of contested states.
“We did it! I am officially the presidential nominee,” Oliver posted Sunday on X, formerly Twitter. “It’s time to unify and move forward for liberty.”
Twice failed Democrat presidential candidate Hillary Clinton refuses to accept the fact that she lost the 2016 election to former President Donald Trump because Americans like him better. During an interview with The New Times, Clinton blamed sexism for losing out to Trump.
Instead of taking accountability, Clinton claimed that women voters abandoned her for not being “perfect,” arguing that they took a “risk” on Trump because he is a man.
Just days before the election, then-FBI Director James Comey re-opened an investigation into Clinton.
Judge Aileen Cannon last Tuesday unsealed numerous motions related to Jack Smith’s classified documents case against Trump.
One filing revealed Biden’s FBI authorized the use of deadly force during their raid on Mar-a-Lago (Snip) "There were no threats and no risk to agents’ safety arising from their allegations relating to possession of documents at a premises already guarded by the Secret Service. But the agents appear to have done so, based on documents produced in discovery, in order to search for alleged contraband they pretended was life threatening in Mar-a-Lago’s gym and kitchen (five and four pictures, respectively),” the motion read.
Actor Robert De Niro suggested that if former President Donald Trump wins the 2024 presidential election, the United States “government will perish from the earth” and that Trump would “never leave” office.
“Under Trump, this kind of government will perish from the earth,” De Niro said from a press conference held by the Biden campaign outside of the Manhattan Criminal Courthouse as closing arguments were happening in Trump’s business records trial, before jury deliberations. “I don’t mean to scare you. No, no, wait, maybe I do mean to scare you.”
Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu said Monday that a “tragic mistake” was made in an Israeli strike in the southern Gaza city of Rafah that set fire to a camp housing displaced Palestinians and, according to local officials, killed at least 45 people.
The strike only added to the surging international criticism Israel has faced over its war with Hamas, with even its closest allies expressing outrage at civilian deaths. Israel insists it adheres to international law even as it faces scrutiny in the world’s top courts, one of which last week demanded that it halt the offensive in Rafah.
Osama Siblani, a prominent Arab-American community leader and publisher, announced that Muslims are poised to take control of key political positions across the United States, including the Congress and the White House.
During his speech earlier this month at a dinner honoring former Lebanese security chief Abbas Ibrahim, who has known for ties with Hezbollah, Siblani said, “We have the best we can offer to the United States of America – not only in Michigan but across the country – and we [have] offered our best… The best is yet to come.

Remember that catchy NYC tourism campaign, “I loooove New Yoork!” I can almost picture President Biden croaking out the catchy tune, but with one word changed: “I loooove Iraaan!”
Iran is the number one state sponsor of worldwide terrorism. They call America the ”Great Satan,” and their stated goal is to wipe Israel off the map. But don’t tell that to Joe Biden, who doesn’t want to upset the Mullahs in case it might hurt his increasingly remote reelection chances. The befuddled octogenarian president actually is demanding that European countries concerned about the Islamic Republic’s nuclear weapons program stand down and refrain from telling the truth—which is that Iran must never,

Earlier Monday morning Kamala Harris and Joe Biden participated in a wreath-laying at the Tomb of the Unknown Soldier.
Biden looked bored and distracted. He would rather be anywhere else.

Please fasten your seatbelts and remain seated at all times, it looks like we’re in for a bumpy flight. No less an authority than Transportation Secretary Pete Buttigieg says so, claiming Sunday that climate change is one of the driving forces behind a rise in severe flight turbulence.
Buttigieg set out his prediction by first declaring “The reality is, the effects of climate change are already upon us in terms of our transportation.” He was speaking on CBS’ Face the Nation, forecasting severe turbulence is something that will continue to“affect American travelers, whether here or abroad.” Buttigieg continued:
Pope Francis complained Catholic seminaries are too full of “faggotry” in a closed-door meeting with Italian bishops last week, local media report.
While the pontiff famously asked, “Who am I to judge?” in 2013 in reference to a homosexual monsignor who was trying to live a chaste lifestyle, he has been an outspoken critic of gays in the Catholic priesthood.
In 2018, Francis insisted that it is a mistake to downplay the seriousness of homosexuality, asserting that homosexuals have no place in the priesthood.
Homosexuality is “not just an expression of an affection,” the pope said in a book-length interview. “In consecrated and priestly life, there’s no room for that kind of affection.”

Jennifer Lucero seems to be the villain in this sad morality play, but I would like to know who put her in that position and issued her marching orders.
