Video from a Pemberton Township, New Jersey, council meeting on Wednesday shows Republican Mayor Matthew Bianchini getting out of his seat, charging toward a resident who has reportedly been heckling him, and shouting “I am f-cking getting you” before being restrained and escorted out of the room.

The confrontation occurred during a public session where former township Community Development Director Kenneth Gerber and his attorney addressed the council about Gerber’s recent termination.

Gerber, a retired police chief, was among those who physically held Bianchini back.

Councilman Perry Doyle, also a retired officer, restrained the mayor and removed him from the chambers as the resident, Michael Sawka, demanded that police arrest Bianchini for threats and assault.

WATCH:

Video captured the tense moment a New Jersey mayor charged toward a resident in the middle of a township council meeting, forcing several people to intervene.

Mayor Matthew Bianchini of Pemberton Township admits he lost his temper, saying: “I just basically snapped.”

The mayor claims the confrontation was prompted by disrespectful comments the resident allegedly directed at the mayor’s wife and daughter, which the resident denies.

The resident is seeking criminal charges and has called for the mayor to resign, while the mayor is defending his actions despite acknowledging he crossed a line.

The Pines Barren Tribute reports:

Sawka then shouted from his seat, “He should resign!” Bianchini’s wife then exchanged words with Sawka, while the mayor, still being held against the wall, exchanged words with those still restraining him.

Councilman Perry Doyle, Jr., a retired township cop, walked over to the mayor, then tried to calm Bianchini down, but the mayor again attempted to charge at Sawka, prompting Doyle to put the mayor in a restraining position while removing him from the room, taking him into a conference room beside council chambers.

As Doyle removed the mayor, Bianchini pointed toward Sawka, declaring, “I am getting you – I am fuc*** getting you!”

Sawka then stood up and shouted that Bianchini made a “threat,” asserting, “He just threatened me! That is on video! That is on audio!”

“I want the police here to arrest him for that threat!” Sawka declared. “That is assault!”

Bianchini later told 6ABC that he “just basically snapped” and described the outburst as “a long time coming.”

The mayor acknowledged that threatening the resident was wrong and said, “I’m not gonna get anybody,” but he also stated, “Was it wrong? Absolutely. Was it justified? Absolutely. And I would do it again if I had to.”

In a Facebook post viewed by the Pine Barrens Tribune, Bianchini wrote that he would not apologize, claiming his wife and daughter were “physically and verbally attacked” during the meeting.

“I will not apologize for my actions last night. If you attack my family, as that resident did last night, I will act. My wife and daughter were both physically and verbally attacked. Were my actions wrong? Probably. Were they justified? Absolutely!”

Bianchini said the breaking point came when Sawka allegedly gestured toward his daughter and then gave him the middle finger.

His wife wrote on Facebook, “My daughter asked him to please stop talking so that this could continue. A female stood up and began telling my daughter to ‘shut up.’ My daughter told her this doesn’t involve you, to which she responded, ‘want to take this outside.’ Mr. Sawka, who had been making comments all night that were mumbled, while he was looking at myself and daughter, then proceeded to ‘flail his hand’ while flipping my husband off. This was observed by my husband, and you can see what happened from there. I am not condoning my husband’s actions, but I will say as a parent and a spouse, I get his protection mode.”

Another member of the family said that Sawka has been harassing the mayor and his family for months on Facebook.

Sawka, a frequent critic who has spoken at prior meetings, denied directing comments at Bianchini’s family. He told 6ABC he stayed seated the entire time.

“I’m just sitting there,” Sawka recalled. “I never got up. I sat there the whole time. I was calm the whole time.”

Sawka has now filed a municipal court complaint seeking assault and terroristic threats charges.

Police have not publicly confirmed whether they will pursue the matter. No formal charges have been filed yet.

This wasn’t Bianchini’s first heated moment at a public meeting.

In May, he told Councilman Joshua Ward to “shut the f-ck up” during a budget discussion, according to the Pine Barrens Tribune.

Bianchini was elected mayor in January after succeeding Jack Tompkins, who resigned amid multiple workplace sexual misconduct allegations.

The mayor is up for reelection in November.

The WNBA is clearly the worst league in sports, and on Wednesday night, it left no doubt as to why.

The women in the WNBA have a chip on their shoulder, where they should be the happiest and most grateful athletes in the country.  Since Caitlin Clark joined the league, they have private flights, higher salaries, an increase in attendance, and other perks.  But instead of thanking this country, they insult all Americans by running out during the National Anthem.

Seconds before the national anthem begins, players from both WNBA Finals teams jog off the court. And for the third straight game, they don’t return until the song is over.

The Atlanta Dream and Golden State Valkyries repeat the routine Wednesday night at State Farm Arena, despite league rules requiring players, coaches and trainers to stand in line during the anthem.

@Outkick reports that the WNBA, both teams and the NBA have yet to answer questions about the repeated absences or whether any disciplinary action is being considered.

“I think it’s DISGRACEFUL.”

“Those women who play for the WNBA, think of the public safety, think of the incredible wealth and privilege, the amazing jobs that they have!”

“I think that you should not express some criticism of a public policy of a given politician by disrespecting the country writ large!”

“They have a LOT to be grateful to the United States for. And I think that if they had a bit more of a spirit of gratitude, they’d be happier people and they wouldn’t offend so many people as well.”

The flag isn’t a politician!

Walking out on the anthem is a slap in the face to every troop, every servicemember, their families, and the ones who gave everything for us

New Analysis: President Trump’s Pro-Growth Policies Ignite Manufacturing Resurgence

The following is from the Trump team.

New Analysis Confirms President Trump’s Pro-Growth Policies Are Driving American Manufacturing Resurgence

President Donald J. Trump’s America First agenda is revitalizing American manufacturing, delivering historic investments, driving up wages, and igniting a blue-collar BOOM.

After the Biden Administration lost more than 200,000 American manufacturing jobs in its final two years due to reckless Democrat polices, President Trump is delivering on his promise to put American workers first.

The results speak for themselves. New analysis by the Council of Economic Advisors (CEA) reports that wages are rising faster than inflation, domestic manufacturing is expanding, and the blue-collar jobs lost under the Biden Administration are rightly returning back to U.S. soil. 

Wages are outpacing inflation under President Trump, reversing the $3,000 annual decline in real wages under Biden. Since President Trump took office, blue-collar workers are seeing even bigger gains: manufacturing wages are up $2,000 and construction wages $2,800.

Demand for factory construction workers is surging, hiring rising, and layoffs down over the past year. Overtime pay is also up— thanks to President Trump’s no-tax-on-overtime policy, workers are now keeping more of what they earn.

The benefits of President Trump’s pro-growth agenda and successful tariff policies extend beyond factory floors. This resurgence is strengthening America’s position in critical industries essential to our national security, including aerospace, aircraft equipment, metals, and natural gas and petroleum production.

A stronger manufacturing sector means more opportunities for American workers, higher wages, and business expansion that supports Main Street economies who support communities across the country.

BY THE NUMBERS:

• AMERICAN MANUFACTURING JOBS SURGING: Manufacturing employment is up 72,000 in 2026, including a 101,000 job increase in durable goods, reversing losses of more than 200,000 manufacturing jobs during the Biden Administration’s last two years. Since President Trump took office, construction employment has grown by 100,000, including more than 111,000 additional factory construction jobs.
• RISE IN ANNUAL WAGES: Inflation-adjusted wages for blue-collar manufacturing workers have risen an average of $2,400 more per year since President Trump took office. Construction workers’ real wages are up  $3,800.
• HIGHEST BUSINESS GROWTH IN 5 YEARS: U.S. business growth has reached its highest level in more than five years, while manufacturing expands and American goods exports are on track for a record year.
• NO TAX ON OVERTIME: American construction workers are keeping more of what they earn thanks to No tax on overtime, with more than 29 million Americans claiming the deduction this filing season.
• TRILLIONS IN INVESTMENTS SECURED: President Trump has secured trillions of dollars in investment commitments across the United States, supporting domestic production, factory expansion, and American jobs.
• SMALL BUSINESS GROWTH: Small businesses and local economies are feeling the benefits of President Trump’s manufacturing boom.
  • Ketchie Inc, a precision machine company located in Concord, North Carolina, grew its workforce 25% after buying a dual 5-axis machining center, an EDM machine, and a cylindrical grinder. The company says it held off on those purchases until OBBB passed.
  • Jergens, a manufacturer in Ohio, says full expensing for factories led to its latest expansion in Illinois. The CEO says 83% of hourly workers now volunteer for overtime under the no-tax-on-overtime provision.
  • More examples HERE.

President Trump is driving a new era of economic opportunity, industrial strength, and national prosperity—unleashing America’s Golden Age.

An infuriating update has emerged regarding the individual reportedly responsible for beheading the Iwo Jima statue in Quantico, Virginia.

As The Gateway Pundit reported, Prince William County police officers busted a thug who has since been identified as 27-year-old Miguel Alonso Maldonado Soriano. At the time of his arrest, Maldonado Soriano was living in Stafford.

Police say he was actively damaging the structure using a sledgehammer.

Police later noted extensive destruction to the monument, including the removal of one of the soldiers’ heads. All told, the damage to the monument is estimated in the hundreds of thousands of dollars.

The statue in question stands near one entrance to Marine Base Quantico and is a short walk from the National Museum of the Marine Corps. It was carved out of limestone by Felix de Weldon in 1945.

The Quantico statue is one of several smaller-scale statues Weldon created of the scene.

Now, it has been revealed the Maldonado Soriano had no business being in America to begin with.

Sources revealed to Fox News that Maldonado Soriano is a Mexican illegal alien and former Deferred Action for Childhood Arrivals (DACA) recipient who lost his status this year.

Per Fox News, Maldonado Soriano crossed the border in December 1999, which was during the Clinton Administration.

In 2014, Maldonado Soriano received DACA under the Obama regime and was allowed to stay in America. His time in our country was then extended by the Biden regime in 2024.

But Maldonado Soriano lost his DACA status in August 2026 after the Trump administration declined to renew it.

Trump White House spokeswoman Taylor Rogers issued the following statement to Fox News:

This criminal illegal alien’s dream is over: Maldonado Soriano disrespected our brave service members and defaced a beautiful monument that honored their sacrifice.

President Trump has secured our border and is deporting illegal criminals who hate our country and our values. The socialist Democrats want to go back to open borders and flood our communities with dangerous criminal illegal aliens.

We already know that 274 FBI agents, not counting cut-outs, were in the crowd outside the US Capitol on January 6, 2021.

There is no evidence that we have seen that ANY FBI agent was attempting to calm the crowd.

“THE BIDEN FBI PLACED 274 AGENTS INTO THE CROWD ON JANUARY 6” – Trump Slams January 6 “SCAM” as Marjorie Taylor Greene Highlights Antifa Presence in the Crowd and Calls Out FBI

FBI Chief Chris Wray lied about this under oath during his time leading the department.

When this news broke in 2025 President Trump wrote this on TRUTH Social.

Trump wrote, “BIDEN FBI PLACED 274 AGENTS INTO THE CROWD ON JANUARY 6.”

” If this is so, which it is, a lot of very good people will be owed big apologies,” he continued, calling for something to be done about the scandal.

This comes after the FBI admitted that 274 plainclothes agents were embedded in the crowds during the events of January 6, 2021, hundreds more than previously disclosed.

The Iran War could last another year if not longer, a top Trump ambassador told the Financial Times in remarks published Friday.

Mike Waltz, the ambassador to the UN, said he hopes Iran will settle the war before then, but “the president and the U.S. Navy can maintain this blockade [on Iranian ports] for the foreseeable future.”

The unpopular war, now approaching its ninth month, has roiled energy markets, worsened inflation, and created headwinds for Republicans ahead of U.S. midterm elections in November. In its early days, President Donald Trump had said the war would last for only “four to five weeks.”

Trump is now mulling a renewal of intense hostilities, as Israel’s Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu tells him devastating strikes could trigger regime change, according to media reports. Iranian officials have warned another round of fighting would not be quick and that Tehran would expand its retaliation to new targets, including digital infrastructure.

The price of Brent crude oil spiked to $114 on Friday—nearing its highest level in the war—after Iran claimed successful attacks on seven tankers around the Strait of Hormuz. The tankers have been reported as damaged. Trump on Thursday accused Iran of “making up fake hits” to drive up oil prices.

The Justice Department this week moved to disqualify two Minnesota-based federal judges involved in immigration cases over their remarks about ICE to The New York Times.

The DOJ moved to kick off Judges John Tunheim and Patrick Schlitz for trashing ICE’s Operation Metro Surge in remarks to The New York Times.

In September, Judge Schlitz told The New York Times that Operation Metro Surge created “a grave threat to the rule of law.”

Judge Tunheim told The Times that ICE agents were not primarily targeting dangerous criminals.

“Impartiality is imperative to ensuring public trust in our Nation’s judiciary. Judge Schiltz’s and Judge Tunheim’s on-the-record participation in a recent highly partisan New York Times Article, along with Judge Schiltz’s subsequent public comments, unquestionably calls into doubt whether they can be impartial in these cases,” the DOJ said.

“A judge who has publicly taken a political side on the issue of enforcing our Nation’s immigration laws cannot then preside over a case concerning one of the Justice Department’s key immigration enforcement initiatives,” the DOJ said.

Fox News reported:

Two Minnesota federal judges who took the unusual step of publicly criticizing the Trump administration’s immigration crackdown to the New York Times are now fighting the administration’s efforts to disqualify them from cases involving immigration enforcement.

One of those judges, Patrick Schiltz, is overseeing the Justice Department’s effort to strip U. S. citizenship from Salah Osman Ahmed, a Somali-born man who pleaded guilty in 2009 to providing material support to terrorists after joining al- Shabaab. The other, John Tunheim, is presiding over the prosecution of a South African national accused of falsely claiming U. S. citizenship and illegally voting in the 2024 election.

The Justice Department filed separate motions asking Schiltz and Tunheim to recuse themselves, arguing that their participation in the New York Times report criticizing President Donald Trump’s Operation Metro Surge has raised questions about whether they can fairly preside over the cases.

The Justice Department’s formal recusal demand follows reporting by Fox News Digital last month detailing unusual behind-the-scenes coordination among Minnesota’s federal bench as judges confronted a massive influx of immigration cases stemming from the administration’s enforcement operation. The report came after Schiltz and Tunheim were among seven Minnesota federal judges who spoke with the Times in September about Operation Metro Surge. Schiltz sat for a roughly 90- minute interview during which he described the administration’s handling of the operation as having created a “grave threat to the rule of law,” while Tunheim suggested to the Times that agents carrying out the administration’s immigration crackdown were not primarily apprehending dangerous criminals.

DOJ had already raised the prospect that judges who publicly discussed the administration’s immigration cases might need to step aside when the Times report was released in September. Last month, DOJ filed a judicial misconduct complaint against Schiltz, Tunheim and other Minnesota judges who participated in the Times report, accusing them of violating judicial ethics rules and asking the Eighth Circuit to investigate. Attorney General Todd Blanche said their conduct had “undermined public confidence in an impartial judiciary in Minnesota.”

Muckraker on Thursday published an election report out of Arizona, using undercover reporters to catch the Democratic Party, nonprofit groups, and labor unions backing Incumbent Governor Katie Hobbs, attempting to illegally register noncitizens and felons to vote.

Muckraker caught multiple Democrat organizations allowing blatant voter fraud.

These suspect groups were caught attempting to register noncitizens to vote and mobilizing noncitizens and felons to vote in the upcoming election.

When Katie Hobbs was confronted with the findings, she ran away from questions.

Muckraker posted their latest investigation on Thursday.

Per Muckraker:

Here’s what we found:

Stand Indivisible Arizona (endorsed Gov. Hobbs in their 2026 ballot guide) — Our journalist posed as a Canadian citizen and asked to register to vote. The canvasser not only agreed to help the alleged non-citizen register, but when asked whether other Canadians could register too, she said, “Tell them to do it online.”

Worker Power (working to re-elect Gov. Hobbs) — Our journalist told a canvasser they were not a U.S. citizen. Despite this, at our journalist’s request, the canvasser marked “yes” on the citizenship question of the voter registration form.

When We Count (the DNC’s own registration program) — Our journalist posed as a felon on probation and asked to register to vote. The canvassers looked up the law and saw that a felon on probation is ineligible. Even so, they encouraged our journalist to register: “You should just do it.”

AFL-CIO (phone bank mobilizing voters for Gov. Hobbs) — Our undercover journalist asked a phone bank trainer whether to ask the people being called if they’re citizens. The trainer’s answer: “We don’t care.”

First, Muckraker caught a volunteer for Stand Indivisible Arizona, a liberal nonprofit group backing Hobbs and other Democrats’ campaigns, attempting to register a journalist posing as a Canadian citizen, as well as his Canadian friends at a voter registration drive at Paradise Valley Community College in Phoenix.

“We’re with, like, the county, Maricopa County, and Indivisible,” the woman said before telling Muckraker’s Anthony Rubin “all you need” is a driver’s license to vote in the state. When he purported to be a Canadian citizen here in the US on an F-1 student visa, the woman said she didn’t think he could legally vote, but she wouldn’t report him if he tried.

“Only if they’re voting on my side. I mean, I could not know. You have a driver’s license… That’s all I have to ask. Do you have a driver’s license?” she said. “The other thing you could do is you could go online, but I’d rather do it with you. But you can go online and register by this QR code.”

Many volunteers in Arizona are actually paid to register voters, with payments often being per voter.

When asked whether his “Canadian friends” could illegally register to vote, the woman told him, “take this and tell them to do it online,” and handed him a card with a QR code. “I mean it sounds like the better thing to do because you’re just again attesting to you have a driver’s license,” she said.

When later confronted, the woman fled and tried to deny ever saying what she was caught on camera saying.

In another encounter at the Phoenix Public Library, a Muckraker journalist posed as a noncitizen again while attempting to register with a volunteer from Worker Power, another nonprofit backing Hobbs’ campaign.

The woman informed the journalist that he could not vote as a noncitizen but still allowed him to try. When confronted, she fled and did not answer any questions. At the office of Worker Power, Rubin was evaded by an employee who claimed she was not with the nonprofit before she walked into their office.

The shady activity was also discovered at the Democratic National Committee’s national voter registration program, When We Count, where Anthony Rubin posed as a felon on probation. It is illegal in Arizona for felons to vote if their rights have not been restored. Under Arizona law, it is a felony when one “knowingly causes or procures another person to be registered as an elector… knowing that such other person is not entitled to such registration.”

Volunteers at Mesa Community College initially were unsure but still willing to register Rubin to vote. “If I can do it, I will register Dem right now,” Rubin said. “I don’t know for sure,” the woman said before double-checking the law and confirming that he could not register until “probation has been completed” and rights are restored. Still, one of the women said, “You should just do it… They’ll check.”

“So f*ck it, just send it through, and let’s see what happens?” Rubin asked, and she said, “Yeah.” They also refused to answer questions, denying that they endorsed the illegal registration.

Finally, they infiltrated a phone-banking operation at AFL-CIO, the state labor federation, which represents 100,000 union members across Arizona and backs Democratic candidates. While posing as a volunteer, a man who was training the journalist said “we don’t care” if the voters aren’t citizens. “Not our issue,” he added. “It’s none of our business.”

When asked about these findings at a recent get-out-the-vote and labor rally in Phoenix, Arizona, Katie Hobbs was rushed out of the room as staffers attempted to silence Anthony Rubin’s questions and reporting.

“What do you think about noncitizens getting registered to vote in this upcoming election? We’ve caught multiple organizations that are working to reelect Katie Hobbs that are willing to register noncitizens and felons. Katie, do you have any comment?” Rubin asked Hobbs as she was quickly shuffled out of the room.

“So Katie Hobbs has no comment on the situation where there are noncitizens getting registered to vote. It’s the most incredible thing,” Rubin said as the Democratic attendees began screaming and chanting “Katie.” ”

These lemmings certainly don’t care. This is the situation out here in Arizona,” he added.

Elon Musk has reportedly invested $1 billion in David Ellison’s Skydance media empire, making the world’s richest man a part-owner of CNN and CBS News.

According to Semafor, Musk has injected approximately $1 billion into the newly merged entertainment giant, which recently completed its $110 billion takeover of Warner Bros. Discovery.

The deal brings Musk into a huge collection of media properties that includes CNN, CBS, HBO, Warner Bros., Paramount Pictures and Nickelodeon.

The investment comes just weeks after Skydance completed its acquisition of Warner Bros. Discovery on October 6, bringing CNN under the control of David Ellison, son of Oracle billionaire Larry Ellison.

Musk’s precise ownership stake has not been disclosed, nor is it clear whether the investment grants him any board representation.

LMAO! Elon Musk has reportedly bought into the company that now OWNS CNN

He reportedly put about $1 BILLION into David Ellison’s Skydance, which took over Warner Bros. Discovery this month

So people who have ownership stakes over CNN include Elon Musk and Trump ally David… pic.twitter.com/g6AQKEwpqx

— Eric Daugherty (@EricLDaugh) October 22, 2026

The investment also strengthens Musk’s longstanding financial ties to the Ellison family, whose vast fortune stems largely from patriarch Larry Ellison’s stake in technology giant Oracle.

Ellison, who is said to be a close friend and ally of Musk, invested $1 billion in the billionaire’s $44 billion acquisition of Twitter in 2022.

He also purchased a significant stake in Tesla in 2018 and served on the electric vehicle manufacturer’s board until 2022.

However, he has mostly delegated control of his fortune to his son David, who is currently CEO of Skydance.

Musk, who recently became a trillionaire, is now returning the favour by helping finance the Ellisons’ rapidly expanding media empire.

Elon Musk Officially World’s First Trillionaire as SpaceX Makes Debut on Nasdaq – Musk Rings Opening Bell (VIDEO)

The investment comes as Skydance faces considerable financial pressure following its acquisition of Warner Bros. Discovery.

According to financial filings, the combined company carries approximately $82.5 billion in debt, while Ellison has outlined plans to deliver at least $6 billion in annual cost savings over the next three years.

Musk’s arrival is particularly notable given his longstanding hostility toward CNN, which is notorious for its aggressive left-wing bias.

His latest investment means he now holds an indirect financial interest in two of America’s largest television news organizations.

However, there is currently no indication that Musk will exercise editorial control over either CNN or CBS.

Neither Musk nor Skydance has publicly commented on the reported investment.

The development marks another expansion of Musk’s sprawling business empire, which already includes Tesla, SpaceX, Neuralink and The Boring Company.

The Department of Justice announced Wednesday that Ohio State’s medical school was found to have discriminated against white and Asian applicants in violation of federal law.

The DOJ’s Civil Rights Division cited admissions practices for the 2023, 2024, and 2025 incoming classes, saying that the school violated the Civil Rights Act of 1964, which prohibits discrimination based on color or race, according to a news release.

The Justice Department also mentioned the 2023 Supreme Court decision of Students for Fair Admissions v. Harvard, which effectively banned affirmative action.

Assistant Attorney General Harmeet Dhillon said, “Despite SFFA, OSU Med allows some applicants to bypass its own screening process and skip interviews solely because of the color of their skin.”

“A university’s admissions process, and all its stages, should apply equally to all applicants regardless of race,” she continued. “The use of a separate admissions process based on race is plainly illegal under federal law, and this Department will not allow these appalling practices to continue at OSU Med or any other federally funded higher ed institution.”

The release went on to describe how OSU used a “Holistic Approach” as a workaround to admit so-called “underrepresented minorities.”

In addition, the medical school’s admissions process has an interview stage, but the DOJ discovered that black applicants who are screened and interviewed “are about 2.8 times as likely to be admitted than Asian applicants with equal credentials.”

Moreover, federal officials said OSU operated a “side door” in its admissions framework that allowed certain applicants to gain acceptance without being scored or interviewed at all.

“Using this pathway, in 2024 and 2025 combined, black applicants were four times as likely to be admitted than white applicants, and no Asian applicants were admitted,” the release noted.

The DOJ rightfully pointed out that medical schools receive massive amounts of federal funding, and therefore must abide by federal law if they want to keep it.

“The Department will continue to investigate their compliance with Title VI, as interpreted by SFFA’s prohibition on race-conscious admissions,” the release concluded.

“Where a violation has been found, the Department will engage in settlement negotiations to ensure the school’s admissions practices are brought into compliance. If those efforts fail, the Department will file suit.”

This news comes about three weeks after the DOJ revealed that the University of California Los Angeles Law School discriminated against white and Asian applicants for years, using race as a major determining factor in admissions.

“Like many of its peer institutions, UCLA Law School runs a two-tiered admissions system whose academic bar for acceptance shifts up or down depending on the color of your skin,” Dhillon said.

UCLA was also threatened with litigation if they don’t comply with federal standards.

This is a crisis of unknown magnitude for the United States.

Not only does Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion still reign in academia, the media, entertainment, sports, banking, and corporations, but it’s beginning to creep into industries where life-and-death decisions are made on a daily basis.

When it comes to the law and medicine, federal officials must draw a line in the sand so that America knows it’s getting the best of the best. Not only are they two of the most prestigious and high-paying careers in existence, but they are extremely complex and consequential to everyday life.

It’s not like casting minorities in a Netflix role, or giving an “underrepresented group” a shot at climbing the corporate ladder. They are playing with fire here.

If you needed heart surgery to save your life, would you want the doctor who was admitted because of their race and cultural background? Or would you want the physician who had the highest scores and best results?

If you were wrongfully accused in a court of law, with your reputation and freedom on the line, would you prefer an attorney whose race or gender determined their success, or the one who earned their spot through sheer hard work?

When your baby needs brain surgery, will you choose the doctor who went to a medical school like OSU? Or will you seek out a qualified physician from an institution where these questions don’t even come into play?

It’s easy for those who support DEI and affirmative action to cheer from the sidelines about equality until a crisis comes crashing on their doorstep.

In their hour of need, can they honestly say they’d prefer a doctor or lawyer who was given preferential treatment, despite having lower test scores or less aptitude?

Merit-based achievement is what makes America great. If you’re the best person for the job, and you’ve achieved at a high level, you get rewarded.

Liberal lawmakers, activists, and academia, however, would prefer we all be used as guinea pigs in an equality experiment that uses guilt and racial division to eliminate any objective measuring stick. And where will we be at the end of all that?

When students who were given preferential treatment finally reach the end of the line and go out into the world, will they be able to provide the services our nation requires?

Or will we see a massive regression in the quality of care and support?

The only hope is for the government to pull all federal funding from schools that refuse to follow the law. The answer to solving discrimination is not more discrimination. That’s called revenge.

If you’re worthy, your actions and results will speak for you, no matter what your race, color, background, or life experience is.
