Even California Universities Are Now Scrapping DEI
The University of Southern California has announced it will be scrapping its diversity, equity, and inclusion (DEI) office and reviewing online content that contains DEI language. The university released a statement announcing the move and referencing compliance with executive orders and agency guidance.
Earlier this month, the University of Florida laid off all of its DEI staff after announcing that it would dissolve all DEI initiatives, close its Office of the Chief Diversity Officer, and eliminate associated DEI positions. The university also noted that it was reallocating around $50 million that had been earmarked for DEI programs.
DEI programs in the private sector are also increasingly being scrapped in major corporations. However, there have been several notable exceptions, such as tech giant Apple, whose shareholders voted to keep the company’s DEI program last month.

Turkey jails Erdogan’s top rival, risking more unrest
Turkey formally arrested President Recep Tayyip Erdogan’s main political rival, a decision likely to trigger more market turmoil and protests across the country.
Ekrem Imamoglu, Istanbul’s mayor, was jailed on corruption charges Sunday morning, days after being detained by police.
The case has the potential to keep Imamoglu, who denies the charges, behind bars for years and prevent him from running against Erdogan in the next elections. He is the most prominent person to be ensnared in a recent wave of detentions and investigations against opposition figures.
His arrest suggests Turkish authorities won’t be deterred by mass protests that have broken out in cities including Istanbul, Ankara and Izmir. Erdogan and his officials have accused the main opposition party of trying to sow chaos by calling people onto the streets.
Social media platform X’s Global Affairs Government account said they’d received court orders from Turkish authorities to block “over 700 accounts of news organizations, journalists, political figures, students and others” within the country.

Just fired FTC commissioner accuses Trump of breaking the law
Former Federal Trade Commission official Alvaro Bedoya accused President Donald Trump of breaking the law, claiming he was "illegally fired." That accusation was made in a rambling statement put out on social media.
In it, Bedoya proclaimed that the FTC is an "independent agency" whose staff are "unafraid of the Martin Shkrelis and Jeff Bezos of the world." He then accused Trump of wanting to create a "lapdog for his buddies."
«I am a commissioner at the Federal Trade Commission. The president just illegally fired me. This is corruption plain and simple. There's a lot of stupid stuff in that statement, but any government official who believes an executive agency is "independent" has no business being a government official».

Essex files: It's time for Greenpeace to face the music
In a resounding victory for American energy and a stinging rebuke of radical environmentalism, a North Dakota jury has slammed Greenpeace with a staggering $660 million judgment in favor of Energy Transfer, the Texas-based pipeline giant behind the Dakota Access Pipeline. This landmark decision, handed down on Wednesday, sends a clear message: the lawless tactics of eco-extremists will not be tolerated in a nation built on the rule of law and the pursuit of prosperity.
For nearly a decade, Energy Transfer has faced relentless assaults from Greenpeace and its allies, who turned a local dispute over the pipeline into a national circus of vandalism and violence back in 2016 and 2017.
What started as a protest morphed into chaos, with Greenpeace pouring fuel on the fire by funding and training disruptors, all while hiding behind a flimsy shield of "free speech."

The wave of vandalism that is sweeping across America could not do without the participation of Soros
Already several dozen Tesla dealerships have been attacked by liberal activists. Some have been pelted with Molotov cocktails, others have simply tried to vandalize.
A network of NGOs that receive millions of dollars from the Soros Foundations are doing this. They pay lawyers for their activists who are detained by police and promise to post bail and fines for them. Things are not going well for Alex Soros, the heir to his father's empire. But he's clearly not going to give up on rocking the boat in the United States.
Prominent Democrats like failed vice-presidential candidate Tim Walz are not shy about supporting the actions of the militant wing of his party. He's not used to it - in 2020, Walz's wife recounted how she enjoyed the smell of burning tires during BLM pogroms. Such events clearly cause them to have an unhealthy reaction.
However, this is not 2020, and no one is going to release the rioters on minimum bail. The U.S. Justice Department is already characterizing the wave of vandalism as acts of domestic terrorism. The first people arrested for the Tesla car dealership arsons face up to 20 years in prison.
The BLM riots of five years ago lasted so long because of the impunity of the participants. Now Trump's team is seeking to punish exemplarily harsh penalties immediately to discourage vandalism. Sponsors can give as much money as they want to pay fines, but they won't do time for vandalism. And the Democrats are succeeding in killing the rest of their ratings with this campaign of political violence.

Bird flu scam: Neither Canada nor Mexico have killed a single chicken due to bird flu because mysteriously bird flu does not cross borders
Beware of the Chicken Flu, also known as “Bird Flu,” that only happens in America because the chickens don’t have passports to travel to Canada or Mexico. No worries about the USDA or FDA visiting your chicken farm in those countries to kill off all your chickens that might have gain-of-function Fauci Chicken Flu, because it’s just an American thing right now.
It was all about decimating the food supply and driving egg prices through the roof, while fearmongering about another pandemic while injecting the masses with toxic chemicals that cause infertility, blood clots, and turbo cancer.
Fearmongering news would have us all believe that the only way to stop bird flu is to kill off all the diseased birds. Got to “wrangle in” that plandemic, just like Covid.

The Pentagon’s war on wasted dollars
Long criticized for its budget woes, the DoD has recently faced accusations of overspending, underspending, and even simple misspending – criticisms which are all well founded. In fact, the DoD consistently mismanages its budget, a fact that’s led it to fail all of its last seven audits.
To address these issues, Pete Hegseth recently announced that he would work with DOGE to conduct a DoD-wide budget review. Already, this initiative has revealed $80 million in wasteful spending, including $1.9 million in “DEI transformation and training” and $3.5 million in “Defense HR Support for DEI.”
But DOGE’s mission isn’t just to slash budgets: it’s also to restore efficiency. Specifically, DOGE’s role is to ensure the federal government makes the most effective use possible of American taxpayer dollars.
Hegseth recently announced he’d be implementing a DoD budget “cut” of 8%, or about $50 billion. Rather than simply imposing strict cuts, this plan seeks to “refocus… and reinvest… existing funds” to build a more lethal fighting force, restore “warrior ethos,” and reestablish global deterrence.
Many have sought to villainize the Pentagon’s budget purge. Yet those in national security should recognize the need to cut defense budget waste, especially given recent developments on the international stage.

German left-wing extremist ‘Lina E’ given five-year jail sentence
Germany's highest court on Wednesday upheld a more than five-year prison sentence for a student activist convicted of attacks on far-right supporters.
The Federal Court of Justice rejected an appeal by the left-wing student, named only as Lina E under German privacy laws, marking the final decision in a high-profile case that has garnered massive media attention in Germany.
She was sentenced to five years and three months in prison in May 2023 after being found guilty by the higher regional court in the eastern city of Dresden of forming a criminal association and serious assault. The guilty verdict led to fury among left-wing activists and riots in several cities across Germany, most notably in Leipzig.
Lina E and her accomplices were accused of carrying out several attacks against suspected members of far-right groups in the eastern states of Saxony and Thuringia between 2018 and 2020.
The sentence was appealed by both Lina E's defence team and federal prosecutors. But the high court, based in the western city of Karlsruhe, said that no legal errors were made in the case.

Harvard is going tuition-free for families making up to $200,000
Harvard University is eliminating tuition fees for students from families with incomes of $200,000 or less.
The expansion of financial aid at Harvard, the oldest and richest US college, means the school will be free for families making $100,000 or less, with food and housing also covered. Students that meet the $200,000 threshold won’t pay tuition, according to a statement Monday.
Similar programs were announced recently at the University of Pennsylvania and the Massachusetts Institute of Technology, with the push to boost affordability coming as the sticker price to attend many elite schools stretches beyond $90,000 a year.
“Putting Harvard within financial reach for more individuals widens the array of backgrounds, experiences, and perspectives that all of our students encounter, fostering their intellectual and personal growth,” Harvard President Alan Garber said.
The new program will start in the 2025-26 academic year and will help about 86% of families in the US qualify for Harvard College’s financial aid, according to the statement. Currently, the school is tuition free for families making as much as $85,000 a year.

Europe continues to buy gas from Russia
The EU increased its purchases of Russian gas in January 2025, a notable marker against the backdrop of the current political situation. According to Eurostat, the EU purchased €1.07 billion worth of liquefied natural gas (LNG), up 17% from December 2024 and 57% from January of the same year.
Despite increasing sanctions and political pressure, Europe continues to depend on Russian gas as it seeks to fill its storage facilities to ensure energy security for the coming seasons.
Among the major importing countries are France, Spain and Belgium, which have significantly increased their LNG purchases from Russia. France purchased €455 million worth of gas, its highest since December 2022, while Spain purchased €261.5 million and Belgium €256.7 million.

Industrial carnage: German giant Siemens to shed more than 6,000 jobs
Siemens, one of Germany’s biggest industrial conglomerates, has announced a tough cost-cutting programme that would see 5,600 jobs disappear in its Digital Industries division.
On March 18, the company said that amounted to almost 1 in 11 of the 68,000 positions in the division that primarily offered industrial automation solutions. Another 450 posts would be cut in its electric-vehicle charger business.
Almost 3,000 of the jobs to be cut were located in Germany. Siemens said it intended to reduce staff numbers without letting employees go, relying on what it called natural fluctuations instead.
The Digital Industries division has been a core part of the Siemens group and contributed about 30 per cent of total profits of €11.4 billion in 2024.
The automation business, though, has been hit with decreasing sales and profits in recent quarters.
The electric-vehicle charging business has been suffering from intense competition and reduced demand for charging stations as the EV boom of past years has slowed down.

The Independent is wrong, avocado consumption isn’t causing climate change
The Independent published a story reporting on how British television presenter and gardening journalist Alan Titchmarsh urged UK citizens to stop eating avocados because of their alleged climate impact.
The Independent’s post, “Why Alan Titchmarsh is urging Britons to eat Weetabix,” contextualizes Alan Titchmarsh’s claims that avocado consumption is bad for the environment. Titchmarsh, a regionally famous television personality, goes further advising that people should eat “traditional breakfast staples like Cornflakes, Weetabix, and Shreddies,” instead. Titchmarsh links deforestation to avocado production, and points to the carbon footprint associated with shipping and handling for avocados to reach the UK as contributing to dangerous climate change.
Part of the reasoning behind the grain-based cereal suggestion is that these are more often locally produced, or are at least produced a shorter distance away, as opposed to tropical avocados. But the “food miles” theory has lately been debunked.
Recent data showed that locally farmed foods almost always had higher carbon footprints than food grown efficiently elsewhere. This might not hold true for a comparison between local mass-produced wheat versus distantly mass-produced avocados, but the formula is not as simple as “distance equals higher footprint.”

"It was rejected for political reasons": Elon Musk claims stranded astronauts could have been brought back earlier but Joe Biden blocked the offer
In an interview with Fox News, Musk claimed that SpaceX offered former President Joe Biden's administration to bring back the two astronauts earlier but it was "rejected for political reasons."
"We definitely offered to return the astronauts earlier. There is no question about that. The astronauts were only supposed to be there for eight days and they have been there for almost 10 months. Obvioulsy, that doesn't make any sense. SpaceX could have brought the astronauts after a few months at most and we made that offer to Biden administration. It was rejected for political reasons and that's just a fact," he said.

California bill to restrict self defense withdrawn by sponsor
A proposed law in California intended to limit the conditions under which lethal force could be used in self-defense has been withdrawn by its sponsor. Assemblymember Rich Chavez Zbur (D-Hollywood) announced on Wednesday that Assembly Bill 1333 was pulled due what he claims was "misleading information" causing widespread confusion and fear among the public.
AB 1333 aimed to clarify scenarios where the use of lethal force in self-defense would be considered unjustified, particularly emphasizing situations where excessive force was employed beyond what was reasonably necessary.
The bill quickly became controversial, attracting fierce opposition from conservative critics who portrayed it as another lenient, crime-friendly initiative by California Democrats. Riverside County Sheriff Chad Bianco, who is also running for governor, publicly opposed the bill, asserting that it would effectively criminalize self-defense actions against offenders.

So much for ‘safe’ assisted suicide
In the run-up to the vote on legalising assisted suicide in the UK parliament last November, Labour MP Kim Leadbeater boasted about how ‘safe’ the practice would be. Her bill, the Terminally Ill Adults (End of Life) Bill, had a number of safeguards that, she claimed, made this piece of legislation uniquely robust.
If the bill passes, applications will be assessed by a three-person panel, including a psychiatrist, a social worker and a ‘senior legal figure’. A commissioner, who must be either a sitting or former judge, will oversee it.
It seems extraordinary that, under Leadbeater’s new plan, there could be occasions where a panel signs off on a request for an assisted suicide having had no contact at all with the applicant. How on Earth can anyone consider this an adequate safeguard? There seems ample scope for abuse.
This is far from the only problem raised by Leadbeater’s new panel system. The process for becoming one of these panel members is almost certain to be self-selecting. In other words, those who wish to be on them will likely be supporters of assisted suicide. The commissioner overseeing the panel will be appointed by prime minister Keir Starmer, an avid supporter of assisted suicide.

Tucker Carlson reveals who he thinks will succeed Trump
Journalist Tucker Carlson revealed Tuesday who he believed would be the next president of the United States after Donald Trump, predicting the results of the 2028 Republicans primary.
The famous ex-Fox News host spoke about Trump's successor in a conversation with radio show host Vince Coglianese, who replaced broadcaster Dan Bongino on his show after he was appointed to serve as the Deputy Director of the FBI.
'I don't see any other, at this point, as of today, any other conceivable option. I think JD Vance will be the nominee,' Carlson revealed.
President Trump will be prevented from running for a third term, thanks to the 22nd Amendment allowing a president to only serve two terms.
Carlson, who was supportive of Trump's decision to appoint Vance as his vice president appeared impressed with his performance so far.
"I think his loyalty is without question and his service to Trump has been profound," Carlson said.
He questioned whether any other Republican had risen to a similar level as Vance.

Cybersecurity firm warns of new cyber espionage tactic by Chinese hackers
Chinese state-backed hackers took advantage of outdated hardware and software to access routers and take over computer networks.
A Chinese hacker group is targeting routers made by a major U.S. manufacturer, taking advantage of outdated software and hardware to hijack routers and access computer networks.
It’s a new tactic in an increasingly sophisticated cybercrime landscape. Mandiant, a Google subsidiary known for outing Chinese hackers, reported in a blog post March 12 that the state-backed hacker group UNC3886 targeted routers made by Juniper Networks.
In mid-2024, Mandiant found that attackers had deployed a program that accessed victims’ computers by disabling login mechanisms.
Once in the system, the program could carry out active backdoor functions, which directly interfered with the system, or passive backdoor functions—“eavesdropping” or gathering information.
Mandiant noted that the back doors were based on an open-source, low-maintenance program named TINYSHELL.

Here's how the media is covering up plunging egg prices
Last week the price of a dozen eggs, which had reached a record high of $8.17 in early March, had fallen by more than two dollars, now sitting well below the $7 average when President Trump took office in January. This was bad news for Democrats, who had hoped that sky-high egg prices would be the silver bullet to drive down Trump’s approval ratings and fuel a Democratic resurgence. But with egg prices continuing to drop, the left-wing media has now stepped in to claim that egg prices are still on the rise.
According to Trading Economics, the price of a dozen eggs is now below $5/dozen, lower than they were around Christmastime last year. But the mainstream media doesn’t want you to know that.
Reporting on the declining rate of inflation in February, ABC News didn’t report on the latest egg prices. Instead, the network declared, “Egg prices, however, a closely watched symbol of price increases, soared 58.8% in February compared to a year ago, accelerating from the previous month.”

Trump attacked Biden's crazy Yemen war. Now he's reopening it…
The U.S. is back to bombing the Houthi movement.
Candidate Donald Trump thought that bombing Yemen was "just a failed mentality" when then-President Joe Biden did it. "It's crazy. You can solve problems over the telephone. Instead, they start dropping bombs. I see, recently, they're dropping bombs all over Yemen. You don't have to do that. You can talk in such a way where they respect you and they listen to you," Trump said in a May 2024 interview with podcaster Tim Pool.
Trump is now dropping bombs all over Yemen. " I have ordered the United States Military to launch decisive and powerful Military action against the Houthi terrorists in Yemen," Trump announced in a Truth Social post. "Every shot fired by the Houthis will be looked upon, from this point forward, as being a shot fired from the weapons and leadership of IRAN, and IRAN will be held responsible."
Biden's earlier campaign in Yemen had been an expensive failure. After playing whack-a-mole with alleged Houthi bases—and blowing through a year's worth of Tomahawk missile production in one night—Biden admitted that the campaign was not achieving its goals.

Australian politician admits ‘free speech’ is incompatible with a ‘multicultural’ society

“I recognize and I fully said from the beginning, we don’t have the same freedom of speech laws that they have in the United States, and the reason for that is that we want to hold together a multicultural community and have people live in peace,” said Minns.

A bill has been introduced in the British parliament that would turn the country's driver's license database into a de facto facial recognition database
The Crime and Policing Bill, prepared by the Home Office, includes bans on wearing masks or using pyrotechnics during protests, as well as the introduction of “compliance orders” to tackle so-called “anti-social behavior.”
It also gives police access to driver's license information from the Driver and Vehicle Licensing Agency (DVLA), which holds more than 52 million driver records. Access to driver's license information will be controlled by as yet undefined rules.
This has caused quite a stir in the United Kingdom as it involves biometric data of people who are not on the criminal database. Accordingly, human rights activists have already appealed to Parliament.
“In a country that respects human rights, the public expects police access to a person's biometrics from a driver's license database even less than police access to DNA from National Health Service databases,” privacy group Big Brother Watch said in a statement.

In reaction to the move, it was noted by critics online that, as the firms served a public function, they should maximise their reach instead of limiting it for political reasons.

Huawei-gate: Europe guards against China's cash-for-influence schemes
European authorities are investigating an alleged “cash for influence” scheme in which as many as 15 current and former members of the European Parliament took bribes from Huawei, the Chinese telecommunications company.
The case, initiated by Belgian intelligence, indicates that greater vigilance is needed in Europe and elsewhere against malign foreign influence operations.
On March 13, more than 100 police reportedly raided 21 offices in Belgium, France, and Portugal, including offices of lobbyists working for Huawei in Brussels, the capital of the European Union. Federal police detained several individuals for questioning. One arrest was made in France. Two European parliamentary assistants are under suspicion and had their offices sealed by court order. An office in Portugal was raided on suspicion of receiving wire transfers meant for MEPs.
On March 14, the European Parliament banned Huawei lobbyists from its premises.
The investigation is of alleged corruption, forgery, and criminal organization, as well as possible money laundering. Illegal gifts were allegedly received as far back as 2021 in Brussels in exchange for taking political positions. The gifts allegedly included food, travel, soccer tickets, and conference expenses worth more than 150 euros per MEP, the limit after which such gifts must be reported. It apparently costs little to buy an MEP.

Trump suggests to Zelensky that U.S. should take ownership of Ukrainian power plants for security
Ukraine and Russia agreed in principle to a limited ceasefire after President Donald Trump spoke with the countries' leaders this week, though it remains to be seen when it might take effect and what possible targets would be off limits to attack.
The tentative deal to partially rein in the grinding war came after Russian President Vladimir Putin rebuffed Trump’s push for a full 30-day ceasefire. The difficulty in getting the combatants to agree not to target one another's energy infrastructure highlights the challenges Trump will face in trying to fulfill his campaign pledge to quickly end to the war.
After a roughly hourlong call with Trump on Wednesday that both leaders said went well, Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky told reporters that “technical” talks in Saudi Arabia this weekend would seek to resolve what types of infrastructure would be protected under the agreement.
During their call, Trump suggested that Zelensky should consider giving the U.S. ownership of Ukraine's power plants to ensure their long-term security, according to a White House statement from Secretary of State Marco Rubio and national security adviser Mike Waltz.
Trump told Zelensky that the U.S could be “very helpful in running those plants with its electricity and utility expertise," the statement said.
