The small Catholic city of Mandeville, Louisiana, will be hosting its first-ever “pride” parade on June 1, and a group of men in the community is rising up to peacefully dissent. According to local farmer and father of five Ross McKnight, “[The pride parade] seems to be an offensive maneuver on a location known for its family-friendly environment, its plentiful church parishes, and its selection of schools.”

A group called “Queer Northshore” is orchestrating the event. The group was co-founded in 2022 by Jeremy JF Thompson, who, according to his public Facebook profile, appears to be a Los Angeles transplant to the area.

“While a display such as this would perhaps not be so surprising in New Orleans, Chicago, Austin, or Los Angeles, the objective here appears to be the infiltration of a community with traditional, Catholic values,” stated McKnight.

Joe Biden’s corrupt and dangerous Stasi Department of “Justice” investigated placed the patriotic organization “Moms for Liberty” in the same category as the Ku Klux Klan and investigated the women’s group as domestic terrorists and a hate group.

The DOJ’s Community Relations Service reportedly monitored the group Mom’s for Liberty for racist acts and used the same practices to investigate the group that is uses on the KKK, according to Just The News.

The Community Relations Service says its role is “preventing and responding to community tensions and hate crimes, bias, bullying, and discrimination.” One way it monitored Mom’s for Liberty was through NexisLexis and Google alerts.

The internal emails appeared to show that the DOJ pressured local officials at times to accept their help, including by using emails from doj.gov accounts to allegedly pester them when they did not show interest. One such example is when DOJ-CRS “Conciliation Specialist” Hannah Levine emailed school board officials in Roanoke County to offer her assistance.

“CRS is aware of ongoing community tensions in Roanoke County following the release of the new model policies for transgender students,” Levine wrote in an email reported in August. “I’d like to connect to see if we might be able to offer support and services as you work to manage conflict within the community related to this.”

Incumbent candidate President Joe Biden admitted on Wednesday what many already knew, that he chose Kamala Harris to be his Vice President due to the color of her skin and her female identity than because of her qualifications. Speaking at a campaign stop in Philadelphia, Biden said “to me the values of diversity, equality, inclusion are literally—and that’s not kidding—the core strengths of America. That’s why I’m proud to have the most diverse administration in history.”

“I’ve tapped into the full talents of our country, and it starts at the top with the Vice President.”

Silence comes as med school under fire for ‘shocking’ academic decline under DEI 

Another university diversity, equity, and inclusion administrator is facing allegations of plagiarism – but neither she nor her employer, the University of California at Los Angeles, has responded publicly to the report.

Natalie Perry, the leader of the Cultural North Star program at the UCLA School of Medicine, and UCLA did not answer multiple requests for comment from The College Fix since a recent investigation alleged she plagiarized large portions of her doctoral dissertation.

The CEO who correctly predicted the predicted the retail apocalypse currently buffeting America has a new warning about the U.S. economy that is even more worrisome.

Former boss of Home Depot and Chrysler Bob Nardelli says that Joe Biden’s horrible policies are going to cause major problems at the end of this year and into 2025.

“What I’ve seen over the past three-and-a-half years is that a series of debacles and missteps have created a tremendous pressure on the fault lines of our economy, and they’re about ready to crack,” he told Fox Business Network.

The economy expanded at a 1.3% seasonally adjusted annual rate in the first quarter of this year, the Bureau of Economic Analysis reported Thursday in a downward revision.

The latest update, the second of three, shows that first-quarter GDP growth was lower than the preceding quarter’s 3.4% clip.

Amidst the relentless hum of New York City, the courtroom drama featuring former President Donald Trump took a curious twist Wednesday afternoon. As the jury sent a second note requesting further instructions, the air shifted as Trump’s defense team shared a guarded smile, hinting at newfound optimism. Meanwhile the District Attorney’s representatives could not mask their growing apprehension.

The jury is set to deliberate over 34 counts of falsified business records related to a hush money payment to adult film actor Stormy Daniels. NBC’s Katherine Doyle reported at 1:05 PM PDT: “The district attorney’s team looks tense and apprehensive. Todd Blanche, on Trump’s defense team, just cracked a tight smile. Trump, Blanche and Emil Bove, another one of Trump’s attorneys, are whispering among themselves and look newly animated.”

The jury is still out on the Trump hush money trial. While the judge is doing everything to make things as complicated for the jury as possible in hope they say “f*ck it, he’s guilty” just so they can go home, it doesn’t change the fact that up until now, the American people have yet to show they give a rip one way or the other. Even CNN was forced to admit that live on air. And you know they hate having to do so.

Opinion hasn’t changed from the start to the end of the trial. 46% thought Trump did something illegal before the trial started, and 46% still think he did something illegal. They don’t know what he did illegally, but it must have been something. Also, they don’t care—a fact that left CNN’s John Berman boo-boo-faced.

Supreme Court Justice Samuel Alito rejected calls for his recusal in upcoming cases involving the January 6 Capitol riot due to recent hit pieces calling out the flying of certain flags at his primary residence and vacation home.

As Katie reported Wednesday, Alito said his wife is fond of flying many types of flags and neither of them were aware that the “Appeal to Heaven” flag, which dates back to the Revolutionary War, was in any way associated with the “Stop the Steal Movement.” Furthermore, one group’s use of it does not “drain that flag of all other meanings.” Previously, Alito told The New York Times an upside down American flag flown at his primary residence by his wife was in response to “a neighbor’s use of objectionable and personally insulting language on yard signs.”

When Boston Mayor Michelle Wu is not holding a holiday party for “electeds of color,” when she’s not offering citizenship to the entire global population of 7.8 billion people, and when she is not working for LGBTQ+ Advancement, she is doing what she can to make sure she creates a culture of lawlessness because laws are racist. Duh.

Wu indicated that she supports shutting down the Boston Police gang database, enacting a do-not-prosecute list, and decriminalizing shoplifting, possession, possession with intent to distribute, breaking and entering with property damage, malicious destruction of property, and more.

She also thinks that the police department should be “demilitarized,” whatever that even means.

Officials in Joe Biden’s National Park Service for the Denali National Park in Alaska were stunned that Americans would be upset that it had banned American flags inside the park.

Shocked, I tell you.

Why is it that Democrats are always surprised when people stand up to oppose their hatred for the United States.

According to reports, the NPS told construction workers who were working at the park that they would not be allowed to have American flags on their vehicles in the parking lot.

The park service denied the claims.

The local government of San Francisco has decided to remove its “Appeal to Heaven” flag that has flown at city hall for decades. The removal comes at the same time many are up in arms that Supreme Court Justice Samuel Alito had the flag displayed at his vacation home in the past.

Many have attempted to connect the flag that was flown over ships controlled by George Washington to the 2021 “Stop the Steal” J6 rally in Washington DC because some were flown by people in the crowd. Demands for Alito to recuse himself from Donald Trump and J6 related cases over his wife flying a US flag upside down in response to an argument with a neighbor as well as a report showing that the “Appeal to Heaven” flag was also flown at his vacation home.

Protesters being ‘coddled’ by university, rabbi says

The DU Students for Palestine announced plans to end its encampment in a statement Wednesday on Instagram. However, it did not provide a timeline.

University leaders ordered the protesters to disband more than a week ago, giving them a 9 p.m. May 21 deadline.

(The Center Square) – Police Chief Adrian Diaz is stepping down from his role as head of the Seattle Police Department amid an increasing number of issues within the department.

Seattle Mayor Bruce Harrell announced the move on Wednesday, stating that Diaz “will be stepping aside to work on special assignments.”

Former King County Sheriff Sue Rahr will serve as the interim police chief, but Harrell said she will not be considered for the permanent police chief position.

Last month, Diaz was accused of grooming and harassment by four female SPD officers, who filed a $5 million tort claim of damages against the city earlier this month. The officers allege sex discrimination, sexual harassment and a hostile work environment within SPD.

The left downplays the FBI’s Mar-a-Lago raid claiming it was a standard raid. They also claim that President Trump wasn’t even supposed to be there. Breaking news confirms that this is not true.

We learned a week ago that the FBI was authorized to use deadly force at Mar-a-Lago when agents raided the President’s home in an uncalled for and unprecedented raid.

Julie Kelly Reports New Revelations about the Mar-A Lago Raid

In a nutshell..

• The FBI authorized the use of deadly force

• Agents were prepared to engage in with Trump and his Secret Service team

• they had an onsite medical team available in case it got deadly

The FBI risked the lives of Donald Trump, his family, his staff, and MAL guests for a publicity stunt to make it look like Trump stole national security files.

Iran’s Supreme Leader Ali Khamenei praised pro-Palestinian protestors across American college campuses for being “on the right side of history” in an open letter to university students Wednesday.

Khamenei said college protestors “have begun an honorable struggle” against the American government which “openly supports Zionists” in a X post on Wednesday. He also encouraged American students to “become familiar with the Quran” in another X post. (RELATED: Iranian Government Releases Anti-Semitic ‘Final Solution’ Poster)

“You have now formed a branch of the Resistance Front and have begun an honorable struggle in the face of your government’s ruthless pressure—a government which openly supports the usurper and brutal Zionist regime,” Khameini wrote in the open letter.

Following day one of jury deliberations in District Attorney Alvin Bragg’s falsified business documents trial, Donald Trump addressed the media, noting that nobody seems to know exactly what the crime in question is. He also took aim at Judge Juan Merchan, saying he should drop the case to save the judge’s reputation.

The jury was dismissed around 4 pm after failing to reach a verdict on the 34 felony counts leveled against the former president. The jurors also asked to rehear the judge’s instructions and portions of testimony from David Pecker and Michael Cohen. The jury is set to reconvene on Thursday at 9:30 am.
