Trump Pushes for Race-Neutral School Discipline Policies
Posted By: ConservativeYankee, 4/28/2025 7:42:45 PM
The second Donald Trump administration continues to ferret out racial favoritism in education and the federal workforce, and there is plenty to be found. The administration is now turning to K-12 classrooms and already has a good model to use for its latest order to end race-based quotas in school discipline. On Wednesday, the White House issued an executive order on discipline, rejecting educators’ use of racial quotas when they mete out suspensions or expulsions among students. Such quotas have generated much discussion since President Barack Obama endorsed their use in 2014. At the time, the Obama administration informed school personnel nationwide that

Republicans in Congress have proposed charging asylum seekers $1,000 to gain entry into the United States.
The proposal is part of a 116-page bill released by the House Judiciary Committee on Monday, which Republicans are seeking to include in a larger package implementing President Donald Trump’s agenda, The New York Times reported. If passed, the Republicans’ proposal would mark the first time the United States charged migrants to claim asylum from countries where they face persecution. The money generated by the asylum claims would go toward securing the southern border.
CNN's top media blogger, Brian Stelter, waddled shoeless on an Amtrak train leaving Washington, D.C., on Sunday after a weekend of heavy partying to celebrate the annual White House Correspondents' Dinner, aka "nerd prom," the Washington Free Beacon has learned.
A series of photographic images, exclusively obtained by the Free Beacon, show Stelter in an alarming state of dishevelment aboard the train. While other passengers were attempting to enjoy a peaceful ride, the CNN blogger paced between train cars with his shirt untucked (and excessively unbuttoned) while staring at his phone. He wasn't wearing any shoes, which is a flagrant violation

Former Vice President Kamala Harris wants to propel herself back into the national political conversation, as former aides are teasing an upcoming major speech criticizing President Donald Trump. The failed presidential candidate will deliver the keynote speech at the Emerge 20th anniversary gala at the Palace Hotel in San Francisco on Wednesday at 10 p.m. ET.
The speech will be live-streamed, according to the organizer Emerge, a Democratic group that recruits and trains women to run for public office. It's a major fundraiser as tickets cost up to $50,000 for a sponsor. But the group is also charging $25 per virtual watch. Harris is expected to deliver a 'call to action,'
This guy’s a Noem criminal.
The illegal migrant who was busted for snatching Homeland Security Secretary Kristi Noem’s Gucci purse was picked up by cops in New York for a similar crime just a few weeks earlier — but they let him go with a desk appearance ticket and a court date.
The NYPD’s warrant squad was hunting for Chilean national Mario Bustamante-Leiva, 49 — because he never showed up to court — when he allegedly ripped off Noem during Easter dinner with her family at a Washington, DC, burger bar, law enforcement sources told The Post.

Truckers are celebrating President Donald Trump’s decision to restore enforcement of a rule that excludes foreign truckers from the roads if they cannot read English-language signs and instructions.
“They’re celebrating … Everybody’s excited, they’re happy,” said Shannon Everett, a cofounder of American Truckers United. who explained the truckers’ problems to Breitbart News in March.
The change is set by an executive order to be signed by Trump on Monday. The order tells Transportation Secretary Sean Duffy “to ensure drivers violating English proficiency rules are placed out-of-service, enhancing roadway safety,” and directs him to revamp other aspects of the trucking industry.
President Donald Trump and I will be taking steps to rescind Obama-era rules to treat English as a second language on the road.
Federal law is clear, a driver who cannot sufficiently read or speak English—our native language—and understand road signs is unqualified to drive a commercial motor vehicle in America. However, President Obama sacrificed driver safety when he lowered the penalty for violators of the English proficiency rule on the road.
This language requirement is in place for obvious reasons. Drivers, especially operators of heavy vehicles, need to understand critical traffic information like warnings for steep grades or dangerous conditions.
Former first lady Michelle Obama voiced deep concerns about what’s happening to migrants under President Trump’s aggressive deportation policy, railing against its impact on her home city of Chicago.
During a conversation about race and fear, the former first lady acknowledged that she has a pretty protected lifestyle, while fretting that everyday people living outside her bubble might be suffering.
“In this current climate, for me it’s what’s happening to immigrants,” Obama, 61, told “On Purpose with Jay Shetty” during a podcast episode that dropped Monday when asked her most “recent test of fear.”

Georgia Gov. Brian Kemp on Monday signed a series of education bills, including the Riley Gaines Act of 2025 designed to protect women’s sports.
Senate Bill 1, bars males and females from competing on teams designated for the opposite gender, the governor’s office said in a statement. It also requires restrooms and changing areas that can be used by more than one student to be limited to one gender.
The legislation is in line with President Donald Trump's executive order entitled "Keeping Men Out of Women's Sports." More than half the states in America have similar legislation, many named for Gaines.
An Illinois state legislator is pushing to move the United States Department of Agriculture out of Washington D.C., and into the heart of farm country.
State Rep. Regan Deering, R-Decatur, has introduced House Resolution 177 urging President Donald Trump and the U.S. Congress to begin the process of relocating the USDA from Washington, D.C., to central Illinois.
Deering emphasized that crops don’t grow in a swamp, they grow in the fertile plains of central Illinois. She added that it's time the government relocated the USDA to a place where people are focused on planting crops, not just pushing paper.
“Bloomington and Decatur are home to major agribusiness giants like Archer-Daniels-Midland, Gromiant, Gromark and

Canada’s Liberal Party won a fourth consecutive election, giving a mandate to former central banker Mark Carney after a campaign in which he pledged to boost economic growth and stand up to US President Donald Trump in a trade war. Liberal candidates were leading or elected in 135 of the 343 seats, ahead of the Conservative Party with 88 as of 10:14 p.m. Ottawa time. The Liberals will secure enough seats to try to form a government, but it’s still unclear whether they’ll win a majority or be forced to work with other parties to pass legislation, according to projections from major TV networks.
Disturbing video has captured the moment a massive brawl broke out among Carnival Cruise ship passengers in Texas — resulting in more than a dozen people being banned from the cruise liner for life.
The violence erupted as scores of passengers were disembarking from the Carnival Jubilee when it docked in Galveston on Saturday following a week-long Caribbean jaunt, according to footage shared on social media.
“It went down this morning,” said Trelle Ray, who shared the clip on Facebook.
The footage showed multiple passengers barging past barriers to trade blows.
At one point, a man was shoved to the floor before a handful of others started violently pummeling him.

Biden’s Decline: ‘We Should Have Done Better’ 33 replies
While accepting an award at the White House Correspondents’ Dinner on Saturday, Axios reporter Alex Thompson acknowledged that he and other members of the mainstream media failed to properly report on President Biden’s declining mental acuity.
“Being truth tellers also means telling the truth about ourselves,” Thompson said as he accepted the Aldo Beckman Award for Overall Excellence in White House Coverage. “We, myself included, missed a lot of this story.”
“President Biden’s decline and its cover-up by the people around him is a reminder that every White House, regardless of party, is capable of deception,” he added.
“Some people trust us less because of it,”
Maria Teresa Kumar, the CEO of Voto Latino, told MSNBC on Monday morning that journalists reporting from the White House lawn should "blur" the mugshots of suspected deported illegal immigrant criminals on posters put up by the Trump administration.
MSNBC's Jonathan Lemire reported: "The White House has put up about 100 posters of what they say are unauthorized immigrants who have been arrested for violent crimes." "What’s particularly noteworthy about this location is it is right directly behind the positions where TV correspondents do their hits from the White House lawn.

On Monday, a House Democrat introduced seven articles of impeachment against President Donald Trump, kicking off a bid that has virtually no chance of succeeding in the Republican-led Congress.
The impeachment resolution from Rep. Shri Thanedar (D-MI) accuses Trump of “high crimes and misdemeanors” over alleged constitutional violations related to taxpayer funds, deportations, tariffs, the Department of Government Efficiency (DOGE) effort led by Elon Musk, retaliation against the press, and others.
“Donald Trump has repeatedly demonstrated that he is unfit to serve as President and represents a clear and present danger to our nation’s constitution and our democracy,” Thanedar said

Illinois Democrat Governor J.B. Pritzker, apparently beginning his quest for the 2028 Democratic presidential nomination, called for “mass protests” and “destruction” in an evident attempt to outflank any other prospective candidate in rhetoric targeting the Trump administration.
An average of recent polls of prospective 2028 Democratic presidential candidates found that former Vice President Kamala Harris led with 27.1%, followed by former Transportation Secretary Pete Buttigieg at 16.1%, Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez (D-NY) at 12.9%, New Jersey Senator Cory Booker at 8.6%, and California Governor Gavin Newsom at 7.9%. Pritzker ranked 10th with 3.2%.

From the stage at the New Hampshire Democratic Party’s McIntyre-Shaheen 100 Club Dinner on Sunday, Gov. JB Pritzker, D-Ill., urged “mass protests … mobilization” and “disruption” so that Republicans “cannot know a moment of peace.”
“Never before in my life have I called for mass protests, for mobilization, for disruption. But I am now,” Pritzker said.
“These Republicans cannot know a moment of peace,” Pritzker said. “They have to understand that we will fight their cruelty with every megaphone and microphone that we have. We must castigate them on a soapbox and then punish them at the ballot box.”
In his final act as pontiff of the Roman Catholic Church, Francis, in keeping with his deep commitment to the climate and well-cultivated image of personal humility, could have foregone a papal funeral.
To the thousands of world leaders and dignitaries flying to Rome as required by international protocol, Pope Francis could have extended an invitation to stay home. He could have ordered he not lie in state, preventing the Vatican pilgrimage of hundreds of thousands of faithful to pay their respects. He could have even skipped the motorcade through the streets of Rome. All this, as a memorable gesture to maintain a smaller carbon footprint — one last gift
As countries around the world try to bargain with US President Donald Trump over tariffs, longterm adversary Iran is pitching its sanctioned economy to him as an investment opportunity.
With talks between Iran and the US over the Islamic Republic’s atomic activity showing signs of progress, top Iranian officials are for the first time in decades overtly promoting their economy to the White House to secure a lasting and more effective nuclear accord. If Trump wants a deal that’s better for the US than the one he jettisoned in 2018, the Iranians want the same for Iran.

Suggests Republicans Are the Party of ‘Traitors’ 19 replies
House Minority Leader Hakeem Jeffries (D-NY), during a ridiculous "sit-in" on the steps of the Capitol, invoked Civil War-era rhetoric to portray Democrats as "patriots" and the Republican party as "traitors."
Jeffries' controversial comments came during a staged protest on the steps of Congress, where he was initially joined by Sen. Cory Booker (D-NJ/Sparta) and then accompanied by several other Democrats and their colleagues. This was by design, an attempt to make their "sit-in" appear to be an organic swelling of support—impressive in their own minds, much like Booker's fake 25-hour filibuster. Rev. William Barber joined the exercise in futility. He discussed putting “principles over party," triggering Jeffries to
