Disgraced convicted rapist Harvey Weinstein made a last-chance bid to reverse his 2020 Manhattan sex crimes conviction‚ with his lawyer claiming that the "MeToo movement" destroyed the Hollywood producer’s right to a fair trial. 

A parental rights organization has filed a civil rights complaint against a Minnesota high school because the school has a student council exclusively for “Indigenous” students. The complaint against the Minneapolis-area school‚ filed by Parents Defending Education with the Department of Education’s Office of Civil Rights‚ alleges that Burnsville High School is violating federal civil rights laws through a student council that is only open to American Indian/Alaska Native students. “PDE makes this complaint as an interested third-party organization with members who are parents of school children throughout the country. PDE and its members oppose discrimination on the basis of race‚ national origin‚ and political indoctrination in America’s schools. Burnsville High School is offering programming to affinity groups that is not open to all students‚” a copy of the complaint obtained by The Daily Wire says. The club is listed on the school’s website alongside other clubs like the Black Student Union‚ the Muslim Student Association‚ and the Gender Sexuality Alliance. “Unlike the other six affinity groups identified in the exhibits‚ the Indigenous Student Council (ISC) is the only group that explicitly states it is not open to the entire student body‚” the complaint says. “Accordingly‚ we ask that the Department promptly investigate the allegations in this complaint‚ act swiftly to remedy unlawful policies and practices‚ and order appropriate relief.” The complaint claims that the club violates the Equal Protection clause of the 14th Amendment and Title VI of the Civil Rights Act‚ which says federal funding cannot go toward racially discriminatory programming. The Daily Wire reached out to the high school for further clarification on the nature of the council and response to the complaint. CLICK HERE TO GET THE DAILYWIRE+ APP Caroline Moore‚ the vice president of Parents Defending Education‚ said the student council was “unabashedly unconstitutional.” “Burnsville High School has two student councils‚” Moore told The Daily Wire. “One that everyone can participate in‚ and another that only allows Native American students. If students cannot coexist in something as simple serving as leaders for their graduation class‚ where does this madness end?” “If Minneapolis and its suburbs are any indication of where race relations in this country are going‚ I want no part of it. This is unabashedly unconstitutional and the DOE should conduct a thorough investigation of racial discrimination in this district immediately‚” she added. Schools across the country have faced backlash from parents who want teachers to focus on academic achievement as opposed to focusing on racial and sexual identity.

On Tuesday‚ the Republicans voted in an incredibly narrow vote to impeach Secretary of Homeland Security Alejandro Mayorkas. It was very narrow because a few Republicans defected and Republicans have a shrinking House majority. What exactly does the impeachment mean? In practical terms‚ it means nothing. There is no shot he is going to be convicted in the Senate. It was an optical impeachment in the same way it was an optical impeachment both times Donald Trump was impeached by the House of Representatives. However‚ that does not mean it was worthless. Rather‚ it was worthwhile for a couple of reasons. First‚ it is imperative the Republicans in the House continue to highlight Joe Biden’s administration’s refusal to enforce America’s southern border. As a pure policy matter‚ this administration has kept the southern border wide open. They have completely restructured American immigration law so as to facilitate the mass migration of people up through America’s southern border. Six to 10 million people have entered the country illegally since Biden took office — people who are claiming asylum‚ waving their arms‚ getting picked up by Border Patrol‚ and then being released on parole into the country‚ never to show up again. That is a deliberate policy decision made by this administration‚ effectuated by the Secretary of Homeland Security‚ who works for Biden. There are two salient questions about the impeachment. The first: Is the border policy horrific‚ and should it be highlighted? Yes‚ it’s horrific. Yes‚ it should be highlighted. The second question addresses whether that merits impeachment. On the merits of impeachment‚ this depends on what you think impeachment is for. WATCH: The Ben Shapiro Show For nearly all of American history‚ people thought that impeachment was actually for high crimes and misdemeanors‚ which is why it was barely ever used. It was used in cases of bribery a couple of times. It was threatened against Richard Nixon before he resigned. But the reality is that the impeachment cap was never taken out of the bag unless there were actually high crimes and misdemeanors to allege. And then Democrats alleged no crime by Trump twice and yet impeached him twice. I said in both of those cases that impeachment was not merited because even if I wildly disagreed with Trump’s actions between the election in November of 2020 and January 6‚ 2021‚ there was no actual crime that took place. Bad behavior is not impeachable; crime is impeachable. When it came to his conversations with Volodymyr Zelenskyy‚ the suggestion was that Trump had a conversation with Zelenskyy back in 2019 in which he basically threatened the suspension of American aid to Ukraine in the lead-up to the war in Ukraine‚ specifically because he wanted the Ukrainian government to investigate Hunter Biden and Burisma. And the suggestion was made that Trump was essentially militarizing American military aid in order to pursue a political goal on his own behalf‚ and thus was an impeachable offense. But there was no actual crime alleged in the impeachment documents. It was all simply bad behavior. So‚ I said both times‚ even if you don’t like Trump’s behavior‚ that’s not impeachable. So why impeach Alejandro Mayorkas without actual high crimes and misdemeanors? The reason is that if these are the new rules‚ they apply to everyone evenly. We should all recognize that if we want to go back to the original status quo — if we want to put the cat back in the bag — then we cannot have a situation in which Democrats get to impeach Republican officials for actions that are not high crimes and misdemeanors‚ while Republicans only impeach for high crimes and misdemeanors. So the impeachment serves two purposes. One is obviously political and I think has a well-merited purpose‚ which is to target this administration on their border policy. And the second is to reestablish a mutually assured destruction with regard to impeachment so that if both parties wish to restore what impeachment was for before‚ which is just high crimes and misdemeanors‚ we can return to that. Otherwise‚ everyone can basically assume that if an opposing party takes control of Congress‚ a party that is not the same party running the presidency‚ somebody in the White House is going to get impeached. That’s just the way this is going to work. CLICK HERE TO GET THE DAILY WIRE APP

Food Network star Guy Fieri is one of several celebrities to say they don’t plan to give their children a huge inheritance without them putting in the work for it.  Fieri’s 27-year-old son Hunter shared his thoughts during a conversation with Fox News Digital at Michael Rubin’s Fanatics Pre-Super Bowl Party.  When asked what it was like being raised by the “Diners‚ Drive-Ins‚ and Dives” host‚ Hunter replied‚ “That is a loaded question. I mean everything‚ you know‚ he’s a great father. But hard work and perseverance and just learn as you go. Just keep working hard‚ keep your head up.” “He’s taught me a lot about culinary‚” Hunter said‚ prompting the Mayor of Flavortown to interject by joking‚ “Get your sleep‚ brush your teeth‚ eat your vegetables.” “How to tie my shoes and put on a shirt right and all that stuff‚” Hunter said. The famous Food Network mainstay went on record saying his kids would need to achieve their own success and couldn’t just rely on the empire he’d built. “I’ve told them the same thing my dad told me‚” Fieri told Fox News Digital during an interview in December. “My dad says‚ ‘When I die‚ you can expect that I’m going to die broke‚ and you’re going to be paying for the funeral.'” “And I told my boys‚ none of this that we’ve been … that I’ve been building are you going to get unless you come and take it from me‚” he said.  CLICK HERE TO GET THE DAILYWIRE+ APP “My youngest son‚ Ryder‚ is a senior in high school getting ready to graduate‚ or you know‚ going to graduate in the spring‚” Fieri added. “And he’s like‚ ‘Dad‚ this is so unfair. I haven’t even gone to college yet‚ and you’re already pushing that I’ve got to get an MBA? Can I just get through college?’” “Shaq said it best. Shaq said it about his kids one time‚” he continued. “He says‚ ‘If you want any of this cheese‚ you’ve got to give me two degrees.’ Well‚ my two degrees mean‚ you know‚ postgraduate. So they’re on their way.” The celebrity chef recently made headlines when he landed a multi-year contract with Food Network for over $100 million‚ as The Daily Wire previously reported.

The White House took a virtual beating on Wednesday after posting a Valentine-themed meme attacking House Speaker Mike Johnson over the recently-failed border deal. The meme showed a photo of Johnson‚ smiling‚ against a bright red background.
