UC Berkeley’s Police Chief just openly admitted to discriminating against white men

… This is the rot inside higher education.
Anyone who believes DEI and Affirmative Action have ended should take a much closer look. USG Postal System recruitment and promotions would be an excellent place to start.

#3  Didn't she understand that if she didn't like sitting in a room full of white men that she was free to leave? Er, another option would be tolerance of people whose ethnicity and culture is somewhat different from your own. Maybe that's too much to expect from people who expect it from us.

#1  Imagine if Trump demanded the L-S-D Leadership be in the oval office for the signing. To rub in and enhance their political humiliation of losing to him and scewing over their own SNAP & erc voters.

#3  "Americans can’t afford for their Representatives to get so caught up in landing a partisan win that they abandon their obligation to come together to solve the urgent problems that our nation faces," Gluesenkamp Perez wrote on X. "The last several weeks have been a case study in why most Americans can’t stand Congress. None of my friends who rely on SNAP would want to trade their dinner for an ambiguous D.C. beltway ‘messaging victory,’ and I’m glad this ugly scene is in the rearview mirror."

Israel-Palestine-Jordan
Trump sends letter to Herzog asking him to pardon Netanyahu, says corruption trial ‘unjustified’
[IsraelTimes] US President Donald Trump
...His ancestors didn't own any slaves...
sends a letter to President Isaac Herzog formally asking Israel’s head of state to pardon Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu, who is on trial for corruption.

"It is my honor to write to you at this historic time, as we have, together, just secured peace that has been sought for at least 3,000 years," writes Trump in his letter, received this morning by Herzog.

"I hereby call on you to fully pardon Benjamin Netanyahu, who has been a formidable and decisive War Time Prime Minister," writes Trump, "and is now leading Israel into a time of peace, which includes my continued work with key Middle East leaders to add many additional countries to the world changing Abraham Accords."

Trump stresses that "I absolutely respect the independence of the Israeli Justice System," but decries the corruption charges against Netanyahu as a "political, unjustified prosecution."

"Isaac, we have established a great relationship, one that I am very thankful for and honored by, and we agreed as soon as I was inaugurated in January that the focus had to be centered on finally bringing the hostages home and getting the peace agreement done," Trump concludes. "Now that we have achieved these unprecedented successes, and are keeping Hamas
..a contraction of the Arabic words for "frothing at the mouth",...
in check, it is time to let Bibi unite Israel by pardoning him, and ending that lawfare once and for all."

In his Knesset speech last month, Trump called on Herzog to pardon Netanyahu.

The prime minister is currently on trial and is charged with one count of bribery, as well as fraud and breach of trust, in three separate cases relating to corruption allegations against him. His trial began in 2020 and is still far from reaching an end.

Herzog declines to take a position, saying in a statement from his office that a pardon request must go through the proper channels.

"The president holds great respect for President Trump and repeatedly expresses his appreciation for Trump’s unwavering support of Israel and his tremendous contribution to the return of the hostages, the reshaping of the Middle East and Gazoo
...Hellhole adjunct to Israel and Egypt's Sinai Peninsula, inhabited by Gazooks. The place was acquired in the wake of the 1967 War and then presented to Paleostinian control in 2006 by Ariel Sharon, who had entered his dotage. It is currently ruled with a rusty iron fist by Hamas with about the living conditions you'd expect. It periodically attacks the Hated Zionist Entity whenever Iran needs a ruckus created or the hard boyz get bored, getting thumped by the IDF in return. The ruling turbans then wave the bloody shirt and holler loudly about oppression and disproportionate response...
, and the safeguarding of Israel’s security," says the President’s Residence.

"Without detracting from the above, as the president has made clear on multiple occasions, anyone seeking a pardon must submit a formal request in accordance with the established procedures."

The president of the state is empowered to grant pardons to those convicted in court and, on very rare occasions, even before legal proceedings have been concluded if it is deemed to be in the public interest.

The individual seeking the pardon, or an immediate family member, must make the request. Netanyahu and his relatives have yet to do that. But Channel 13 reported last month, citing sources in the Prime Minister’s Office, that there are discussions underway about Netanyahu’s wife, Sara, submitting the request.
