A coalition of 14 Republican attorneys general warned Apple on Wednesday that its “discriminatory” entrepreneur programs excluding white and Asian men may be illegal.

Led by West Virginia Attorney General Patrick Morrisey, the Republican officials sent a letter to Apple after it opened up applications last week for its “Entrepreneurship Camp” exclusively for minorities and women. The letter, addressed to Apple Senior Vice President Katherine Adams, says that the application stipulations may violate federal discrimination law.

“Apple should abandon this wrong-headed and exclusionary approach. As it stands, the program reflects a troubling fixation on race and sex — and looks to run afoul of anti-discrimination laws. While supporting up-and-coming developers may be a laudable goal, this harmful strategy is not the way to do it,” the attorneys general wrote.

In February 2024, Sneha Nair was appointed as a special assistant at the National Nuclear Security Administration by the Biden-Harris administration.

For the past several months, Nair has been working tirelessly to “eradicate white supremacy” and believes “queering nuclear weapons” will enhance the protection of nuclear energy facilities in the U.S.

“Finally, queer theory informs the struggle for nuclear justice and disarmament,” Sneha Nair wrote last year. “Queer theory helps to shift the perception of nuclear weapons as instruments for security by telling the hidden stories of displacement, illness, and trauma caused by their production and testing.”

Sneha Nair emphasized that diversity, equity, and inclusion (DEI) is essential to ensuring security.

“By understanding DEI as a set of values critical to security, and therefore as an element of an effective nuclear security culture, stakeholders can explore how DEI can contribute to stronger security at nuclear facilities,” she said.

The Department of Justice (DOJ) continues to hound pro-life activists who go to abortion businesses and try to convince pregnant women not to kill their babies.

A Detroit, Michigan, jury found seven pro-lifers guilty Tuesday of engaging in a civil rights conspiracy and violating the Freedom of Access to Clinic Entrances (FACE) Act for standing and sitting in front of the door of the Northland Family Planning Clinic in Sterling Heights, Michigan, Aug. 27, 2020.

The 1994 Clinton-era FACE Act makes it a federal crime to intimidate or interfere with someone getting an abortion. Combined with the conspiracy charge the DOJ has added to recent FACE charges, the combined convictions carry a penalty of up to 11 years and up to $250,000 in fines. In this case, the conspiracy was about posting and live-streaming the group’s actions on social media.

According to the DOJ indictment, those convicted in this case sat in front of the abortion business’ door and refused to move when women tried to get inside. Later, the police asked them to move and they did not move until they were arrested.

The Democrat Party has pro-life members.

They’ve tolerated their party’s abortion worship, but the abortion van at the DNC might be the last straw:

“They’re degrading human life and women for that matter. It’s just absolutely disgusting. This continued celebration of abortion,” Democrats For Life of America executive director Kristen Day told Fox News Digital.

Day is appalled that Planned Parenthood is offering free abortions inside a “mobile health clinic” parked in Chicago during the convention. Pro-abortion activists also marched through the streets of Chicago ahead of the convention.

“I think this convention is going to be abortion-palooza. In response to them providing abortions, we would provide actual support to women in need. So, we started a diaper drive,” Day said.

Rep. Chip Roy, chairman of the subcommittee on the Constitution and limited government, is calling on FBI Director Christopher Wray to explain discrepancies between his testimony to Congress and Justice Department prosecution data.

Wray testified to Congress on July 24 that the FBI has focused more attention on pro-abortion violence against pro-life facilities since the overturn of Roe v. Wade.

“Since the Dobbs decision,” he said, “actually, more of our abortion-related violent extremism investigations have focused on violence against pro-life facilities as opposed to the other way around.”

Roy, a Texas Republican, reminded Wray in a Monday letter that since January 2021, the Justice Department’s Civil Rights Division has charged 24 Freedom of Access to Clinic Entrances (FACE) Act cases against 55 defendants, according to DOJ data first reported by The Daily Caller.

An anti-affirmative action group filed a civil rights complaint against a New York state school district, accusing it of systematically excluding White students for an event for “students of color.”

The Ithaca City School District (ICSD) promoted a Students of Color Summit 2024 on Ithaca High School’s campus earlier this year that said the event was for “Students of Color in grades 6-12.” After backlash, the district apologized for using “exclusionary language” and all students were ultimately welcomed to the event. But the Equal Protection Project (EPP), a nonprofit that opposes racial discrimination in any form, sent the complaint to the U.S. Department of Education suggesting White students were being discriminated against for years.

The complaint, which has been obtained by Fox News Digital and can be seen here, accused ICSD of systematically excluding White students from SOCU Summits “with the knowledge and the participation of dozens of teachers and administrators, knowledge of the Board of Education, and despite multiple complaints about the racially discriminatory practices from members of the community” over a 4-year period from 2021-2024.

On Thursday, the National Right to Life Committee, Inc. (NRLC) issued requests for records relating to the Army’s designation of it as a “terrorist group” during a training event at Fort Liberty, North Carolina, on July 10, 2024. Shockingly, the training event included a slide listing National Right to Life under the bold, all-caps heading, “TERRORIST GROUPS,” as well as bullet points listing examples such as “Pro Life” and “Oppose Row [sic] v Wade.” Were these baseless and sweeping vilifications of NRLC and pro-life people in general not appalling enough, the slide also mentioned peaceful pro-life activities, such as sidewalk counseling.

In a scathing indictment, Representative Jim Banks (R-IN), Chairman of the Subcommittee on Military Personnel, together with numerous Republican colleagues, sent a letter to Christine Wormuth, Secretary of the Army, demanding answers about who vetted these training materials, whether this was an official Army policy, and whether Secretary Wormuth would commit to actions ensuring such outrageous “terrorist” classification of pro-life groups like NRLC and its members would not occur again.
