President Trump just eliminated disparate impact liability. Equality of Outcome is no longer the policy of the United States Government. Biggest revision to the civil rights regime since LBJ. ~ Dr. Ben Braddock President Trump eliminated the disparate impact liability, a Marxist-based rule that violates the Equal Protection Clause.

President Donald Trump announced on Thursday that he was planning to sit for an interview with The Atlantic’s editor-in-chief, Jeffrey Goldberg, in spite of the fact that Goldberg has used his outlet to perpetuate “many fictional stories” about the president and his administration. Trump declared his intentions in a post on his Truth Social platform, saying that he planned to take the meeting with Goldberg and two of his writers — both of whom he described as unfriendly to the administration — “out of curiosity.” pic.twitter.com/9ZtlJfRCfZ — Rapid Response 47 (@RapidResponse47) April 24, 2025 “Later today I will be meeting with, of all people, Jeffrey Goldberg, the Editor of The Atlantic, and the person responsible for many fictional stories about me, including the made-up HOAX on ‘Suckers and Losers’ and, SignalGate, something he was somewhat more ‘successful’ with,” Trump began, referencing one story that had circulated during his first term in the White House before pivoting to the recent SNAFU in which Goldberg had accidentally been added to a Signal chat group where high-level administration officials had discussed plans to retaliate against Houthi terrorists in some detail. Despite the fact that National Security Adviser Mike Waltz took responsibility for the incident — and that Goldberg’s addition to the group has been linked to an algorithm-based “contact suggestion” feature on his iPhone — Democrats and media still attempted to weaponize the story in their efforts to bring down Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth. “Jeffrey is bringing with him Michael Scherer and Ashley Parker, not exactly pro-Trump writers, either, to put it mildly!” Trump’s post continued. “The story they are writing, they have told my representatives, will be entitled, ‘The Most Consequential President of this Century.’ I am doing this interview out of curiosity, and as a competition with myself, just to see if it’s possible for The Atlantic to be ‘truthful.’ Are they capable of writing a fair story on ‘TRUMP’? The way I look at it, what can be so bad – I WON!”

A federal judge on Thursday blocked President Donald Trump from implementing an executive order that requires voters to show documentation proving their U.S. citizenship to cast a ballot in federal elections. U.S. District Judge Colleen Kollar-Kotelly, a Bill Clinton appointee, granted a preliminary injunction stopping the Trump administration from going forward with the proof-of-citizenship requirements as a lawsuit plays out, the Associated Press reported. The lawsuit, filed by the Democratic National Committee and leftist voting rights groups, claims that Trump’s order is “an unlawful action that threatens to uproot our tried-and-tested election systems and silence potentially millions of Americans.” Trump’s executive order, which he signed in March, aims to eliminate voter fraud in U.S. elections. “Under the Constitution, State governments must safeguard American elections in compliance with Federal laws that protect Americans’ voting rights and guard against dilution by illegal voting, discrimination, fraud, and other forms of malfeasance and error. Yet the United States has not adequately enforced Federal election requirements that, for example, prohibit States from counting ballots received after Election Day or prohibit non-citizens from registering to vote,” the order states. Another part of Trump’s order — requiring those enrolled in public assistance to have their citizenship assessed before receiving a voter registration form — was also blocked by Judge Kollar-Kotelly. The judge denied the plaintiff’s request to block the part of Trump’s order that tightens deadlines on mail ballots, according to the AP. Opponents of the executive order argue that states can establish their own election processes and that only Congress can take action to override state laws related to federal elections. The judge’s move means that yet another Trump action will be tied up in the courts and prevented from taking effect. Federal judges have blocked numerous Trump orders, including on cuts to federal agency staff, deportations, and birthright citizenship. As of Thursday, 108 different rulings have blocked or temporarily frozen Trump’s attempts to carry out his agenda, according to The New York Times.

Mother’s Day is drawing near, which means it’s time for your annual reminder that one of the most sacred words in the English language is under attack. Everyone in the world has a mom. And the vast majority of us know what that word means. There may be thousands of ways to say “mom,” but the Left and the mainstream media are pushing for more “inclusive” language, up to and including turning Mother’s Day into “Gestational Parent Recognition Day.” For example, Wisconsin’s Governor Tony Evers is proudly defending a proposal to change the term “mother” to “inseminated person” in state law. Because apparently, saying “mom” might offend someone who couldn’t pass a sixth-grade biology exam.  Meanwhile, the CDC and a few very confused editors over at CNN are doubling down, rolling out gender-inclusive terms like “people experiencing menopause” and “individuals who menstruate.” It’s all part of a relentless effort to scrub words like “woman” and “mom” from public discourse. Despite their best efforts to distort reality, Jeremy’s Razors knows what a mother is and why it’s so important to honor ours. Our moms are not “chestfeeding units.” They are the real moms – which are (and must be) women, the kind with wombs. The ones who showed up, raised us, worked hard, and never once demanded to be called “Person Assigned Female at Birth.” So here’s an idea for this year: skip the woke nonsense and constant pandering to give mom the gift of truth in language this year. She deserves it. Nothing says “I love you” like the razor brand that is most unapologetically honest about the difference between men and women on the market. It’s made for women who are tired of being erased, and comes packaged with a side of common sense. Plus, Jeremy’s whole women’s collection is now 25% off for a limited time. Give her 25% off gift bundles made for women who aren’t confused about what that means.  While Dove celebrates motherhood with gender studies jargon, your favorite lady can ignore the noise while getting a close, smooth shave featuring five stainless steel blades, aloe and argan oil, and guaranteed use of words like “woman” and “mom.” Don’t let down the woman who taught you never to miss out on a good deal. For Mother’s Day, give your mom a gift that still knows what a woman is. Give her Jeremy’s Razors. Jeremy’s Razors shares common ownership with The Daily Wire.

Multiple media outlets ran with a story on Wednesday claiming that Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth had demanded the addition of a make-up studio at the Pentagon where officials could prepare for media appearances. CBS News White House reporter Jennifer Jacobs shared the news via X, posting, “News: @SecDef Hegseth recently ordered modifications to the green room next to the Pentagon press briefing room to add a makeup studio that can be used to prep for TV appearances, sources told @CBSNews. The price tag for the project was several thousand dollars. The space previously had minimal furnishings. A new director-style chair and large mirror with makeup lighting was installed. Hegseth has used the briefing room for Fox News hits.” It was not until the very end of the post that Jacobs qualified her assertions with a quote from a spokesperson, who confirmed only that the green room had been updated, but added, “For this upgrade we were deliberately conservative and opted for several less expensive, on-hand materiel solutions.” The @DODRapidResponse account fired back with a photo of the updated green room, adding, “Does the fake news NOT have anything better to do? 1. No lighted mirror. 2. It didn’t cost thousands. 3. The items that were added to the GREEN ROOM (not a makeup studio) came from existing inventory. This story is TRASH!” Does the fake news NOT have anything better to do? 1. No lighted mirror.2. It didn't cost thousands.3.

No ‘orders’ and no ‘makeup’ — but whatever. 2) We should have installed tampon machines in every men’s bathroom at DoD instead — the leftist ‘news’ media would have loved that,” he said. 1) Totally fake story.

Hegseth continued to push an end to “woke” policies and programs, saying, “No more social engineering. No more climate change worship. No more electric tanks. No more gender confusion. No more pronouns. No more excuses. No more quotas. No more WOKE bulls*** that undermines commanders and command climates. We are laser focused on our mission of warfighting.” . @SecDef "No more social engineering. No more climate change worship. No more electric tanks. No more gender confusion. No more pronouns.

Former Chicago Bears defensive tackle Steve “Mongo” McMichael passed away on April 23. Mongo battled amyotrophic lateral sclerosis, commonly referred to as ALS or Lou Gehrig’s disease. He revealed his diagnosis in 2021. Sadly, the rare but fatal disease has an average life expectancy of just two to five years. In that time, a person with ALS often loses their ability to walk, speak, and swallow. It is a devastating disease that Mongo fought with courage. Following his diagnosis, Steve McMichael told the Les Turner ALS Foundation, “I see the compassion in people – that’s when God is smiling,” he said. “Every man lives, but not every man really lives. And I’ve lived 10 lives.” View this post on Instagram A post shared by Chicago Bears (@chicagobears) Steve McMichael Died The Day He Entered Hospice Care Steve McMicheal’s widow, Misty McMichael told Fox 32 on April 23, “As of today, Silver Cross Hospital in New Lenox has recommended to the family to transfer Steve into a Joliet hospice facility this afternoon,” she explained. “I know he can hear me and he can respond a little bit, “Misty added. “He’s still my man. Twenty-four years married, 27 together. It’s hard to let him go. I don’t ever want to.”  Bears Chairman George H. McCaskey shared a statement on the passing of Steve McMichael, “It’s a cruel irony that the Bears’ Ironman succumbed to this dreaded disease,” George said.  “Yet Steve showed us throughout his struggle that his real strength was internal, and he demonstrated on a daily basis his class, his dignity, and his humanity. He is at peace now.” The Pro Football Hall of Fame inducted Mongo in 2024. A fan wrote, “I’m so glad he was alive to see his HOF induction what a legend and RIP.” This football fan had a suggestion for the team, “The Bears should honor him with ’76’ patches on their jerseys or on the helmets during the 2025 season. One of the greatest Bears of all time.” Steve McMichael was 67 years old at the time of his death.
