The University of Michigan announced with great fanfare one year ago that it was shuttering its diversity, equity, and inclusion office and discontinuing its campuswide DEI 2.0 Strategic Plan. But a new analysis reveals the institution still spends $15.3 million this school year on 162 employees who continue working on diversity efforts across campus. The university essentially rebranded the former Office for Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion, renaming it the Access and Opportunity Office. 71 employees continue to work in five core diversity related units headed by the new access office. An additional 91 employees work mostly full time for diversity…

Rep. Ralph Norman (R-SC) has joined the growing chorus of Republicans denouncing Rep. Maria Salazar’s (R-FL) Dignity Act, declaring the legislation a direct assault on the immigration agenda that won Republicans their electoral mandate. “Let’s say it how it is, the DIGNIDAD ACT is a Trojan horse for mass amnesty,” Norman posted to X on Monday. “It’s a hard no.” Norman adds his voice to a swelling coalition of Republicans who have opposed Salazar’s amnesty legislation over recent weeks. The bill contains provisions that would bestow green cards upon millions of illegal aliens designated as “DREAMers” while permitting millions more…
Serious allegations have surfaced regarding the intentional obstruction of financial crimes investigations within Minnesota’s social safety net. Scott Dexter, a seasoned law enforcement professional who joined the Department of Human Services as an investigator, recently detailed a troubling pattern of interference. Dexter reports that his team identified blatant criminal activity almost immediately upon starting their tenure. He noted that many childcare facilities receiving millions in public funds were part of a linked network designed to siphon money through over billing and falsified attendance records. “The very first [daycare] that we investigated […] had received about $3.75 million in one year,…
Young people who devote substantial time to social media are at greater risk of developing depression, engaging in self-harm, using substances, and performing poorly academically as they grow older, according to an extensive study led by Australian researchers. The Epoch Times covered the findings, which appeared in JAMA Pediatrics. Researchers conducted a systematic review analyzing 153 studies that collectively included over 350,000 participants between ages 2 and 19, with some studies tracking subjects for as long as two decades. “The strongest pattern we saw was between social media use and later problematic media use, suggesting early patterns of engagement may…

The United States government had already removed him four times. Federal authorities had sent Jorge Luis Martinez-Ulloa back to Honduras, watched him return, and sent him back again. None of it was enough. This week in Lexington, a child became the answer to the question of what happens when a broken system keeps failing the same test. According to a Breitbart report, Lexington police arrested the 31-year-old Honduran national and charged him with a list of crimes that is difficult to read. Prosecutors say Martinez-Ulloa kidnapped a minor, held her inside an apartment, grabbed her by the throat, and raped…
They entered the United States as skilled workers, settled into research careers at a respected children’s hospital, and eventually became naturalized American citizens. Then a federal judge took it all away. Breitbart reported that the ruling this week by Judge James E. Simmons Jr. stripped Li Chen and Yu Zhou of their naturalized citizenship following convictions that exposed one of the more troubling espionage cases to emerge from inside the American medical research community. Both pleaded guilty in 2020 to conspiracy to commit theft of trade secrets and conspiracy to commit wire fraud, crimes that prosecutors say were carried out…
A former tenured professor at the University of Cincinnati has taken legal action against the institution, asserting that administrators wrecked his career after he resisted diversity, equity, and inclusion hiring mandates, The College Fix reported. Brian Calfano, an award winning journalist who led the journalism department starting in 2021, submitted the lawsuit in late February. “First, he objected when the University imposed an unauthorized, race-based hiring policy that violated its own bylaws,” the complaint asserts. “Second, he supported a female colleague who reported sexist conduct by a male faculty member.” These actions triggered a chain of events in which “administrators…

Immigration and Customs Enforcement arrested multiple illegal aliens this week who had been convicted of murder, child pornography, drug trafficking, and assault, Breitbart News reported. Department of Homeland Security spokesperson Lauren Bis issued a statement highlighting the arrests while criticizing local officials who obstruct enforcement efforts. “While sanctuary politicians continue to demonize our ICE law enforcement, our ICE officers continue arresting public safety threats from our communities,” Bis said. “Yesterday, ICE arrested criminal illegal aliens convicted for murder, production of child pornography, drug trafficking, and other despicable crimes. These types of violent, depraved criminals should never have been in the…
