The American Bar Association, which for now has been the only “federally recognized accreditor for Juris Doctor programs,” through its Council of the Section of Legal Education and Admissions to the Bar, soon may be losing a huge amount of its influence on American lawyers.

Because others may be able to offer law schools accreditation.

The move would be a massive blow to the significance of the ABA, which has positioned itself as an extreme leftist in American society in recent years.

An analysis recently called it a “proxy for the left wing of the American legal community,” and it said the ABA has been using its power as a monopoly “to promote an ideological agenda.”

The change is being done through an Executive Order from President Donald Trump.

That order said, “The American Bar Association’s Council of the Section of Legal Education and Admissions to the Bar (Council), which is the sole federally recognized accreditor for Juris Doctor programs, has required law schools to ‘demonstrate by concrete action a commitment to diversity and inclusion’ including by ‘commit[ting] to having a student body [and faculty] that is diverse with respect to gender, race, and ethnicity.’ As the Attorney General has concluded and informed the Council, the discriminatory requirement blatantly violates the Supreme Court’s decision in Students for Fair Admissions, Inc. v. President and Fellows of Harvard College, 600 U.S. 181 (2023). Though the Council subsequently suspended its enforcement while it considers proposed revisions, this standard and similar unlawful mandates must be permanently eradicated.”

The order continued, “American students and taxpayers deserve better, and my Administration will reform our dysfunctional accreditation system so that colleges and universities focus on delivering high-quality academic programs at a reasonable price. Federal recognition will not be provided to accreditors engaging in unlawful discrimination in violation of Federal law.

“The Attorney General and the Secretary of Education shall, as appropriate and consistent with applicable law, investigate and take appropriate action to terminate unlawful discrimination by American law schools that is advanced by the Council, including unlawful ‘diversity, equity, and inclusion’ requirements under the guise of accreditation standards. The Secretary of Education shall also assess whether to suspend or terminate the Council’s status as an accrediting agency under Federal law.”

While Trump’s order addressed the issue of accreditation generally, where accreditors “have … abused their enormous authority,” it was the ABA that was singled out for special mention.

The order gave power to the secretary of Education to “hold accountable, including through denial, monitoring, suspension, or termination of accreditation recognition, accreditors who fail to meet the applicable recognition criteria or otherwise violate Federal law, including by requiring institutions seeking accreditation to engage in unlawful discrimination in accreditation-related activity under the guise of ‘diversity, equity, and inclusion’ initiatives.”

The secretary, along with the attorney general, shall investigate and “take appropriate action to terminate unlawful discrimination by American law schools that is advanced by the Council, including unlawful ‘diversity, equity, and inclusion’ requirements under the guise of accreditation standards.”

In fact, the ABA could be canceled entirely as an accrediting agency.

The order also banned accreditors from “engaging in practices that result in credential inflation that burdens students with additional unnecessary costs.”

A commentary at Legal Insurrection had just warned that the ABA was preparing to “mandate race-focused study as a prerequisite to graduating from law school. It’s another instance of woke ideology being forced on the nation, and may necessitate that states revisit the ABA’s government-granted near-monopoly accrediting power.”

Those “Pride” events held all across America periodically to promote the alternative sexual lifestyle choices of the LGBT agenda are looking less and less like the excesses of yesteryear when public nudity was common and featured was “deviant revelry,” before the agenda “inserted itself into grade schools.”

A plunge in corporate funding is impacting their outlooks, in a major way.

That’s happening as DEI, those “diversity, equity and inclusion” ideologies, are losing their attractiveness for companies facing White House opposition, public exposure and stockholder and customer criticism.

A commentary at PJMedia pointed out, “In 2025, it’s all trending in the right direction. New York City and Seattle’s Pride organizations each say they’re suffering a $350k deficit this year. Pride St. Louis is short $150k. Twin Cities Pride is about $200k short for its June Pride bacchanalia. So is the infamous San Francisco festival.”

The report even noted that San Francisco Pride Executive Director Suzanne Ford noted, “Will we be able to keep the doors open? You know, that’s what I’m most concerned about now.”

The plunge in funding for the ideology has been documented by Bloomberg, which pointed out in a report organizers of those events “are scrambling to make up hundreds of thousands of dollars in lost corporate sponsorships.”

It noted the entitlement that the leftist event promoters feel, as Andi Otto, of Twin Cities Pride, said, “We spend our money as a community in these corporations and I want them to give back. They should give back.”

The report documented a survey of dozens of corporate executives confirming 40% are scaling back their “Pride” month involvements.

“That includes both internal engagement like promoting workplace equity and public-facing participation like sponsoring or appearing in Pride events,” the report said.

“Conservative scrutiny is really the top driver of change,” Luke Hartig, of Gravity Research, told Bloomberg.

“Six in ten companies cite pressure from the Trump administration — which has pushed policies targeting transgender and nonbinary people, while also cracking down on diversity, equity and inclusion, or DEI — as a key reason for their change. Nearly 40% of all companies point to the threat of backlash from conservative activists and consumers, including more than three-quarters of consumer brands,” the report noted.

In fact, the report noted some of those companies already had started pulling back as early as 2023.

LGBT activists described the plunge in support as unprecedented, the report said.

“Among the largest of the events is World Pride, a weeks-long celebration that was expected to draw at least 2 million domestic and international visitors to Washington, D.C., beginning May 17. In February, after shutting down its DEI department, the federal contractor Booz Allen Hamilton withdrew its sponsorship from the event. Comcast, Darcars Automotive Group and Deloitte have also decided not to commit any funding, according to Ryan Bos, Executive Director of the Capital Pride Alliance, which is organizing the event,” the report said.

Dollar General and Nissan both have dropped their sponsorships of events set for Nashville, the report said.

PJMedia, calling the circumstances the “Best pride month ever!” explained, “OF COURSE, corporations shouldn’t be funding exotic sexuality extravaganzas (especially for children and youth, for the love of God!) Imagine if they spent this much money and effort promoting wholesome, healthy families. Or go wild and imagine if they spent this kind of time and treasure evangelizing the word of Christ — the greatest faith in history, with a tangible record of bringing emotional health and overall wellbeing to its practitioners, be they gay, straight, black, white, Asian, Hispanic, American or foreign, old or young.”

The White House lawn is lined with posters of 100 of the “worst illegal immigrant criminals” arrested in the first 100 days of President Donald Trump’s second term.

“Good Morning from The White House!” White House press secretary Karoline Leavitt wrote on X on Monday morning, sharing video of the posters, which say “arrested” at the top and appear to have a mugshot or other photo of the person followed by the label “illegal alien.”

An Indiana middle school is facing a civil rights complaint over a “racially exclusive party” one teacher hosted for select students in her class.

A sixth-grade teacher at Tippecanoe Valley Middle School in Akron, Indiana, allegedly held a party in January with only Hispanic students while forcing the others to sit in a study hall, according to the complaint filed Friday with the U.S. Department of Education’s Office of Civil Rights and Department of Justice (DOJ) Civil Rights Division.

“The School restricted non-Hispanic students from enjoying the privilege of participating in a party celebrating Día de Los Reyes Magos, or Three Kings Day, during school hours, despite the claim that the school loves to ’embrace cultural traditions,’” the complaint by the Wisconsin Institute for Law & Liberty (WILL), a conservative legal group, alleges. “The school separated the children by race and let those of the ‘right’ race enter the room of celebration, while the others remained outside. This is a clear violation of Title VI.”

Tippecanoe Valley Middle School did not respond to a request for comment.

Title VI Complaint – Tippecanoe Valley Middle School in Akron, In 4.25.25 by Katelynn Richardson

The school celebrated the teacher’s party in a Jan. 24 Facebook post, which stated they “love embracing cultural traditions,” according to screenshots from WILL.

The teacher responded to parent complaints by explaining she “pulled the children out of class to celebrate their heritage and that marginalized societies need special attention to feel inclusive.” The school deleted its Facebook post after parents brought their concerns to the principal, according to the complaint.

“The students were thrilled to honor their culture in the classroom–it was tough to keep the excitement (and noise level) down!” the post stated. “Watching them celebrate with pride, representing their families and traditions, was an absolute joy.”

“Brown v. Board of Education made it clear: racial segregation in public schools has no place in America,” WILL Associate Counsel Lauren Greuel said in a statement. “The Civil Rights Act of 1964 reaffirmed that truth, banning race-based discrimination nationwide. Yet today, this school is in violation of both. We urge the Office for Civil Rights and the Department of Justice to launch a swift and thorough investigation into these serious violations of federal law.”

Race-based programs in universities and corporations have become the target of civil rights complaints and lawsuits after the Supreme Court’s decision to strike down affirmative action. Since taking office, President Donald Trump has also signed several executive orders targeting diversity, equity and inclusion initiatives in the federal government.

In April, the DOJ’s Civil Rights Division filed a statement of interest in a case challenging Southwest Airlines’ ¡Lánzate!/Take Off! Travel Award Program, which allows Hispanic college and graduate students to receive free flight vouchers.

Jeffrey Epstein survivor Juliette Rose Bryant is speaking out — and she’s making it very clear: If anything happens to her, it is not suicide.

The South African native, who claims she was kidnapped by Epstein 20 years ago after meeting him alongside former President Bill Clinton, is demanding a full investigation into any potential harm that may befall her, especially in the wake of fellow Epstein victim Virginia Giuffre’s reported “suicide.”

Virginia Giuffre, one of the most prominent accusers of Jeffrey Epstein and his associate Ghislaine Maxwell, was found dead by suicide on Friday at her farm in Neergabby, Western Australia.

Her family confirmed the tragic news, stating that the 41-year-old mother of three succumbed to the lifelong toll of sexual abuse and trafficking she endured.

The news has sparked controversy, particularly due to a 2019 social media post by Giuffre that resurfaced after her death.

In it, she wrote, “I am making it publicly known that in no way, shape or form am I suicidal. I have made this known to my therapist and doctor. If something happens to me – for the sake of my family do not let this go away and help me to protect them. Too many evil people want to see me quieted.”

Prominent Republican figures have wasted no time voicing their distrust of the suicide narrative, including Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene (R-GA) and Senator Mike Lee (R-UT).

Bryant reposted a video she originally shared two years ago after the death of Jeffrey Epstein victim Carolyn Adriano, who testified against Maxwell.

Carolyn Andriano was found unresponsive in a West Palm Beach hotel in 2023. West Palm Beach police opened an investigation into her death after it was concluded she died of an accidental drug overdose.

Andriano’s mother pleaded with police to investigate her daughter’s death and insisted she was drug and alcohol free.

Transcript:

Julia Bryant:
My name is Julia Bryant, and I live in Cape Town, South Africa. I was kidnapped by Jeffrey Epstein 20 years ago. I am not suicidal, and I never, ever will be. I also do not do any drugs. I met Epstein when he was in Africa with Bill Clinton. We all know about the Clinton body count.

Another concerning fact is that one of the main women — a very brave angel, Caroline — who testified against Ghislaine Maxwell, was found dead six months ago. It wasn’t in the media until a few days ago. The only reason it was put in the media was because of a very, very brave Epstein victim — she doesn’t want to be named. But there are other Epstein victims who’ve also died suspiciously.

Caroline was a beautiful, amazing, brave woman who planned a life on a chicken farm with her family. Instead, she was found dead in a hotel room.

I want to speak out for safety and for other victims, because it’s very frightening when the victims’ stories won’t… I mean, when the media won’t cover any of the victims’ stories. A lot of my story hasn’t been told in the media, and it’s the same with a lot of other victims.

And we actually all feel quite frightened with everything that’s been going on. As we know, this is not the first suspicious death related to the evil Maxwell empire. They also used to run the media — maybe that’s why victims’ stories are not being told to the public, and the victims of Epstein feel very frightened.

Juliette Bryant was a South African model who, at the age of 20 in 2002, was lured into Epstein’s circle under false promises of modeling opportunities, including claims that Epstein could connect her with Victoria’s Secret.

Instead, she was trafficked to various Epstein properties, including his private island, Little St. James in the U.S. Virgin Islands, and his Zorro Ranch in New Mexico.

She has described enduring 18 months of abuse, during which she was coerced into sexual acts with Epstein up to three times a day, orchestrated by Ghislaine Maxwell, who she claims ran the operation like a “factory.”

In interviews, including a 2022 BBC documentary House of Maxwell and a 2025 appearance on Boom Play, Bryant recounted a particularly disturbing incident at Epstein’s Zorro Ranch, where she woke up naked and paralyzed on an examination table in a laboratory, surrounded by a female doctor and people in hazmat suits.

She believes this was connected to Epstein’s reported interest in cloning, DNA manipulation, and transhumanism, though she has not confirmed what was done to her.

Bryant also met high-profile individuals during her time with Epstein, including former President Bill Clinton.

Bryant told The Daily Beast that when she first met Bill Clinton, she believed he was very close to Epstein because the two shared a suite at Cape Grace, a luxury hotel in South Africa.

According to The Daily Beast:

Juliette Bryant was at a Cape Town cocktail lounge with a friend when an associate of Jeffrey Epstein approached her. “This guy is bothering me,” the woman, an American actress named Naja Hill, told them that night in September 2002. “Can I hang out with you guys?”

Bryant, who had just turned 20, understood that women must look out for one another and welcomed the beautiful stranger to join them. When Hill learned Bryant was an aspiring model, she suggested they find her “billionaire” friend Jeffrey, who she falsely claimed was the owner of Victoria’s Secret and could jump-start Bryant’s career.

Hill, who had emphasized Epstein’s celebrity contacts, shared that the financier was currently at a chic restaurant nearby with none other than former President Bill Clinton, and actors Kevin Spacey and Chris Tucker. She asked Bryant if she’d like to meet them. Bryant and Hill then hopped in a car, giddy at the opportunity to make their acquaintance.

[…]

According to Bryant, when she arrived at the restaurant, Clinton stood up to shake her hand and didn’t let go, even when he began speaking to someone else. “He just kept holding onto my hand,” Bryant told us. “It was like a dream. It was so bizarre.”

[…]

She would also see the famous Democrat again the next day, after Hill invited her to join their entourage and show Epstein her modeling portfolio.

Bryant crossed paths with Clinton and Epstein as they toured Africa on a high-profile humanitarian trip, during which the former president, his Secret Service team, and others flew aboard Epstein’s private jet dubbed the “Lolita Express.” Clinton has not spoken publicly about this journey or his multiple other flights with Epstein aside from a 2019 statement which claimed he knew “nothing” about the late sex offender’s “terrible crimes.”

One in ten patients experience a “serious adverse event” after taking the abortion pill, according to a study released Monday by the Ethics and Public Policy Center (EPPC), a conservative think tank and advocacy group.

The study found that 10.93% of women experienced sepsis, infection, hemorrhaging, or another serious adverse event within 45 days after a mifepristone abortion. The real-world rate of serious adverse events after mifepristone abortions is at least 22 times as high as the summary figure of “less than 0.5%” in clinical trials reported on the drug label, according to the study.

Mifepristone, when used together with another medication called misoprostol, is used to have an abortion during the first ten weeks of pregnancy, according to the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA). Danco Laboratories, a pharmaceutical distributor based in Manhattan, distributes mifepristone under the brand name Mifeprex, and claims on their website that the drug is “safe and effective.”

The study, which the EPPC claims to be the largest-known review of the abortion pill conducted in the U.S., is based on analysis of data from an all-payer insurance claims database that includes 865,727 prescribed mifepristone abortions from 2017 to 2023.

“Danco Laboratories markets Mifeprex as ‘the safe and effective abortion pill,’ but our research shows that mifepristone abortion, as currently practiced in the U.S., is not safe and effective,” the EPPC wrote in the study. “The manufacturer and the FDA rely on the results of 10 clinical trials with a total of 30,966 participants, less than 0.5% of whom reportedly experienced serious adverse reactions. In contrast, we analyzed real-world insurance claims data for 865,727 prescribed mifepristone abortions, broadly representative of women who obtain mifepristone abortions in the U.S. today, and we find a serious adverse event rate of 10.93%—at least 22 times as high as the summary figure reported on the drug label.”

“Simply stated, mifepristone, as used in real-world conditions, is not ‘safe and effective,’” the think tank went on to write.

With many states implementing pro-life laws after the Supreme Court overturned Roe v. Wade in June 2022, many women have used telehealth — using technology to deliver healthcare services remotely — to bypass abortion bans. As of December 2023, telehealth constituted 19% of abortions in the U.S. healthcare system, according to the Society of Family Planning’s #WeCount project.

In June 2024, the U.S. Supreme Court unanimously ruled that a lawsuit challenging the FDA’s approval of mifepristone lacked standing, allowing the drug to remain widely available.

The number of abortions in the U.S. has grown in recent years partially due to the increased availability and use of the abortion pill, which accounted for 63% of abortions in 2023, according to a March 2024 study from the Guttmacher Institute.

FDA Commissioner Marty Makary notably said on April 24 that he has “no plans to take action” to limit the availability of mifepristone.

The study was written by the EPPC President Ryan T. Anderson and the EPPC Director of Data Analysis Jamie Bryan Hall.

The Trump administration issued a formal veto threat Monday morning regarding a bipartisan resolution that would terminate the president’s emergency powers underpinning his sweeping global tariffs.

The Senate is set to vote as early as this week on a resolution to rescind Trump’s national emergency declaration justifying the imposition of broad tariffs on imported goods. The White House Office of Management and Budget (OMB) said the president would veto the resolution in the event the resolution makes it to his desk, according to a statement of administration policy exclusively obtained by the Daily Caller News Foundation.

“There can be no doubt that S.J. Res. 49 — if passed — would undermine U.S. national and economic security,” the White House Office of Management and Budget (OMB) wrote. “If S.J. Res. 49 were presented to the President, he would veto it.”

Democratic Oregon Sen. Ron Wyden and Republican Kentucky Sen. Rand Paul are co-leading the effort to eliminate the foundation of Trump’s tariff authority. Congress has the power to force a vote on terminating the president’s emergency powers, which is subject to a simple majority vote in both chambers.

Trump issued a national emergency declaration April 2 to correct certain trade practices, including “the large and persistent annual U.S. goods trade deficit.” The administration has criticized trade imbalances for hollowing out the country’s industrial base, suppressing wages and leaving supply chains vulnerable.

“President Trump refuses to let the United States be taken advantage of and believes that tariffs are necessary to ensure fair trade, protect American workers, and reduce the trade deficit — this is an emergency,” a White House fact sheet said regarding the president’s “Liberation Day” tariffs.

Trump declared a 90-day pause on most country-specific reciprocal tariffs April 9 with the exception of China after the administration said more than 75 countries had expressed interest in negotiating trade deals.

Despite the administration racing to craft trade agreements with dozens of countries, Wyden told Politico April 10 that he will seek to force a vote on eliminating the president’s emergency declaration.

“The President is now in active negotiations with many of these countries to eliminate barriers to U.S. exports,” OMB said. “Disturbing the conditions underlying these negotiations would signal to U.S. trading partners that they can continue to discriminate against U.S. exports with impunity.”

Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent said Thursday that negotiations with South Korea over eliminating trade barriers “may be moving faster” than expected. Vice President JD Vance heralded progress on a trade deal with India during a visit to the country on Tuesday.

“Tariffs are taxes, and the power to tax belongs to Congress — not the president,” Paul, who has been a vocal critic of the president’s tariffs, said in an April 8 statement.

“Our Founders were clear: tax policy should never rest in the hands of one person. Abusing emergency powers to impose blanket tariffs not only drives up costs for American families but also tramples on the Constitution. It’s time Congress reasserts its authority and restores the balance of power.”

Trump criticized GOP lawmakers seeking to rein in his effort to reorder global trade during remarks at the National Republican Congressional Committee’s annual president’s dinner on April 8.

“And then I’ll see some rebel Republican, you know, some guy that wants to grandstand say, ‘I think that Congress should take over negotiations,’” Trump said. “Let me tell you, you don’t negotiate like I negotiate. If Congress takes over negotiating, sell America fast because you’re going to go bust.”

Paul also co-led a separate resolution with Kaine to block the president’s national emergency declaration justifying tariffs on Canada on April 2. This resolution passed the Senate 51 to 48 with three Republicans in addition to Paul voting to terminate the president’s tariffs on Canadian imports. Speaker Mike Johnson refused to take up the resolution in the House.

The Wyden-Paul resolution targeting Trump’s global tariffs also faces long odds to land on the president’s desk given the speaker’s decision to stall a vote on the measure. House Republicans inserted language in a procedural rule for the Trump-backed budget blueprint on April 9 preventing a vote on the resolution until Sept. 30.

President Donald Trump says pollsters for major media companies including the New York Times, Washington Post and Fox News should be investigated for election fraud, as he expresses outrage at recent surveys about his approval rating.

In a Monday message on Truth Social, Trump stated: “Great Pollster John McLaughlin, one of the most highly respected in the industry, has just stated that The Failing New York Times Poll, and the ABC/Washington Post Poll, about a person named DONALD J. TRUMP, ME, are FAKE POLLS FROM FAKE NEWS ORGANIZATIONS.

“The New York Times has only 37% Trump 2024 voters, and the ABC/Washington Post Poll has only 34% Trump Voters, unheard of numbers unless looking for a negative result, which they are.

“These people should be investigated for ELECTION FRAUD, and add in the FoxNews Pollster while you’re at it. They are Negative Criminals who apologize to their subscribers and readers after I WIN ELECTIONS BIG, much bigger than their polls showed I would win, loose (sic) a lot of credibility, and then go on cheating and lying for the next cycle, only worse.

“They suffer from Trump Derangement Syndrome, and there is nothing that anyone, or anything, can do about it. THEY ARE SICK, almost only write negative stories about me no matter how well I am doing (99.9% at the Border, BEST NUMBER EVER!), AND ARE TRULY THE ENEMY OF THE PEOPLE! I wish them well, but will continue to fight to, MAKE AMERICA GREAT AGAIN!”

Is the news we hear every day actually broadcasting messages from God? The answer is an absolute yes! Find out how!

On Sunday, a poll by ABC News/Washington Post/Ipsos claimed “Trump has the lowest 100-day job approval rating of any president in the past 80 years, with public pushback on many of his policies and extensive economic discontent, including broad fears of a recession.”

ABC noted: “Yet he still beats the Democrats in Congress in terms of trust to handle the nation’s main problems.”

“Thirty-nine percent of respondents in this ABC News/Washington Post/Ipsos poll said they approve of how Trump is handling his job as president, down 6 percentage points from February, while 55% said they disapprove.

“The previous low in approval for a president at or near 100 days in office, in polls dating to 1945, was Trump’s 42% in 2017.”

Interestingly, on April 16, CNN polling analyst Harry Enten dispelled the notion some Democrats have claimed that a huge segment of Americans regret giving Donald Trump their vote in November.

The data is in and 98% of Trump supporters do NOT regret their votes from 2024.
