Dems Hope To Hide Anti-American Policies Behind ‘Straight, White, Christian Man’ 2028 Nominee

A hilarious article in Axios over the weekend re-upped one of my favorite self-perpetuating problems in the Democrat Party — the party’s refusal to do anything but change its destructive, unpopular policy positions.

“Some top Democrats,” read the piece by Holly Otterbein and Alex Thompson, “are quietly debating a fraught question: whether the party’s best bet for winning back the presidency in 2028 is to nominate a man — perhaps a straight, white, Christian man.”

Democrats had their rears smacked and handed to them red hot in 2024, in large part because they wouldn’t accept that voters aren’t as preoccupied with race and sex as they are. It’s how they permanently screwed themselves with Kamala Harris, first as vice president and then inevitably as the party’s replacement nominee.

To her credit, at least Kamala, with a herculean assist from the dying news media, pretended not to support all the things she and the rest of the party in fact did support up until the last second. Namely, importing every destitute foreigner who made it to the southern border, allowing crime to run rampant (so long as the perpetrators were of a particular demographic), and crushing the middle class by hooking as many people as possible on welfare.

If Kamala hadn’t had a record as, you know, vice president for the previous three-plus years, she might have had a shot. But a policy reversal isn’t the lesson Democrats appear to have taken from that loss. Instead, they have settled on a new strategy that involves going on podcasts, publicly cursing a lot, and — wait for it — hunting down a nominee who might fit the profile of the very type of person the party has tried to destroy. The white, straight, Christian male.

They’re no longer considering a policy shift, it seems.

DOJ Opens Probes Into Possible Race Discrimination at 3 Medical Schools

The Department of Justice (DOJ) has initiated investigations into possible race discrimination in the admissions processes of three U.S. medical schools.

The DOJ sent letters to the medical schools of Stanford University, Ohio State University, and the University of California—San Diego, notifying them of the federal probes. Harmeet Dhillon, assistant attorney general for the DOJ’s civil rights division, confirmed the probes in a post on X on March 26.

In the letters, the DOJ requested documents on the schools’ admissions policies to determine how race is considered in evaluating applicants, along with applicant-level admissions data, including standardized test scores, extracurricular activities, admission outcomes, and demographics.

Stanford School of Medicine told The Epoch Times by email that it was reviewing the DOJ’s letter and “will respond appropriately.”

“Stanford School of Medicine prohibits unlawful discrimination on the basis of race, color, national or ethnic origin, or any other characteristics protected by applicable law,” the school’s spokesperson said.

A spokesperson for Ohio State University also said the school will respond appropriately to the DOJ’s letter and affirmed its compliance with state and federal regulations and legal rulings governing admissions policies.

Key Trump agency unleashes probe on blue state over potential race-based mortgage aid: ‘DEI is dead’

The Trump administration’s Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD) announced Tuesday that it launched an investigation into a Washington state housing program the agency accused of potentially providing subsidized mortgage assistance to people based on race. 

The Washington State Housing Finance Commission was alerted this week that HUD’s Office for Fair Housing and Equal Opportunity would be investigating its Covenant Homeownership Program. The program was established by the state legislature in 2023, which commissioned a report to investigate alleged housing discrimination in the state and how to remedy it. In particular, the program wanted to address racially restrictive housing covenants embedded in the state’s history, which became unenforceable following a Supreme Court ruling in 1948 and were voided altogether in 1969.

The housing program was launched a year later for first-time homebuyers considered “people of color and other historically marginalized communities.” It offered zero-interest loans of up to $150,000 for down payments and closing costs, and the loans did not need to be repaid until the homeowners sold or refinanced the properties, according to Seattle King County REALTORS. 

“Generations of systemic, racist, and discriminatory policies have formed barriers to homeownership for Black, Indigenous, and people of color and other historically marginalized communities in Washington state,” Washington Democrat Jamila Taylor said of the bill to establish the program that she helped introduce. “Historically, redlining, racially restrictive covenants, mortgage subsidies and incentives, and displacement have been explicitly outlined practices. To date, racially restricted covenants have been identified in more than 40,000 property deeds across the state.”

But according to HUD, applicants in the program do not need to be from low-income areas, as the income ceiling for the program is 120% of the median income for the area. The agency said in order to qualify, applicants have to have a parent or grandparent of Hispanic, Native American, Pacific Islander, or Indian descent. Meanwhile, HUD highlighted that persons of European, Japanese, Arab, or Jewish ancestry did not appear to qualify for the program.

HUD also points out, citing directions from the Washington housing commission on how to apply for the Covenant Homeownership Program, that the only application process for the program is to call a hotline where prospective applicants speak to “a Commission-trained lender” who then determines whether people meet the program’s eligibility requirements.

Florida AG Warns NFL Against Race-Based Diversity Hiring

Florida Attorney General James Uthmeier made it clear that he plans to challenge one of the most controversial practices in sports: an NFL rule that requires minority candidates to be interviewed for key coaching and front office decisions.

In a letter and an accompanying video released Wednesday, Uthmeier said he plans to challenge the so-called “Rooney Rule” used by the league, arguing it violates state law.

According to WPEC-TV in West Palm Beach, Uthmeier’s letter warned that the rule cannot be enforced on the three NFL teams based in Florida — the Jacksonville Jaguars, Miami Dolphins, and Tampa Bay Buccaneers — saying all three must “interview, hire, and train based on merit,” as should the NFL.

If the teams are subject to the rule “or any variation or extension thereof,” he warned, it “may result in a civil rights enforcement action.”

He also said that the NFL’s Coach & Front Office Accelerator Program and Mackie Development Program would “limit, segregate, and classify” candidates in a manner inconsistent with Florida law.

“My office is sending a letter to the NFL commissioner, Roger Goodell, regarding the league’s hiring practices — specifically, the use of the so-called ‘Rooney Rule,’ which requires NFL teams to interview candidates based on race,” he said in the social media video.

“The NFL’s use of the Rooney Rule violates Florida law by requiring race-based considerations in hiring. Florida law is clear: Hiring decisions cannot be based on race, and the Rooney Rule mandates race-based interviews and incentivizes race-based decisions.”

FA Refuses to Scrap “Racist” Target for a Third of England’s Coaches to Be Non-White

The Football Association has refused to scrap a “racist” target for almost a third of England’s men’s coaches to be non-white after Suella Braverman branded it “utter woke nonsense”. The Telegraph has more.

Braverman, the former home secretary, who is Reform UK’s Equalities Spokesperson, wrote to Mark Bullingham, the FA Chief Executive, on Tuesday demanding the abolition of a policy she said “divides rather than unites”.

The FA’s Equality, Diversity and Inclusion (EDI) strategy sets a target for 30% of the England men’s coaching staff to be from ethnically diverse backgrounds by 2028.

Posting her letter to Bullingham on X, Braverman said: “The @FA Football Association wants to mandate that one in four football coaches come from a Black, Asian or other minority background.

“As the saying in football goes, this is utter woke nonsense. The game’s gone. Fans don’t care what the coach looks like. They just want the best person for the job, based on merit alone. That’s what gets results. Not tokenism.

“I’ve written to the FA urging a rethink. I’m happy to help them draw up a fairer policy. Let’s kick racism out of football, including anti-white racism.”

Braverman, who in January defected to Reform from the Conservative Party, also wrote in her letter that the policy was “fundamentally flawed, inherently racist and bad for the game”.

She added: “The best coaches should get the job, not because of their skin colour, but because they are the best person for the job.”

The phrase “utter woke nonsense” has become a popular meme among football fans.

An FA spokesperson said in response: “Football has the unique ability to break down barriers and bring communities together. Through our EDI strategy, we aim to ensure the game reflects the full diversity of our nation.

“This means opening up pathways and creating opportunities for people from all backgrounds – including those from historically under-represented groups. While we will always take a meritocratic approach by appointing the best people for roles, we also recognise the importance of having a broader range of participants across the sport.

“We are proud that our strategy is supporting the growth of football among men, women, boys and girls from all communities.”

Planned Parenthood Illinois To Pay $500K After Investigation For ‘Segregating Employees By Race’

AMidwest affiliate of the nation’s No. 1 killer of unborn children will pay $500,000 to settle a federal investigation into its alleged discriminatory practices, including promoting racial segregation. 

Planned Parenthood of Illinois violated federal civil rights laws when it conducted training sessions in which the organization “segregated employees by race [and] subjected white employees to harassment,” according to the Equal Employment Opportunity Commission. The abortion provider also engaged in “disparate treatment against white employees regarding terms, conditions, and privileges of employment,” the EEOC discovered in its class investigation into “charges brought by multiple Planned Parenthood employees.” 

Perhaps it comes as little surprise that the affiliate of Planned Parenthood Federation of America, founded by a woman who embraced the racist and discredited theories of eugenics, would be investigated on racial discrimination charges. 

‘Affinity Caucuses’ And Segregation

The EEOC says the Illinois operation established required “affinity caucuses” segregated by race. Employees of races outside a caucus were prohibited from taking part, according to an EEOC press release. The leadership team also “demanded that all employees” participate in DEI (diversity, equity, and inclusion) education that included “harassing and derogatory statements” about white employees.

Among the sessions’ problematic mantras were the following assertions: White employees “do not feel racism the same way non-White patients feel,” and “white supremacy is exerted at every level of oppression (individual, interpersonal, organizational, and societal).” In other words, a veritable Marxist clinic inside the abortion mill. 

“Segregating employees by race violates the core promise of our nation’s civil rights laws,” EEOC Chairwoman Andrea Lucas said in the press release. “Title VII guarantees equal treatment for every employee and prohibits race discrimination in America’s workplaces.”

“The alleged conduct violated the Title VII of the Civil Rights Act of 1964, as amended, which prohibits race discrimination,” according to the release.

Based on the EEOC release, it sounds like Planned Parenthood Illinois was running a DEI cult. Each week, the abortion facility forced staffers to undergo reeducation sessions, lasting as long as two hours and consisting of “segregated racial affinity caucuses” or DEI propaganda. The Planned Parenthood affiliate also refused to give white employees time-off opportunities that it handed out to black employees, the agency said. 

Civil rights protections cover white workers, too, despite what the DEI industry has falsely sold to American education, business, health care, and culture, particularly over the past decade. 

“There is no DEI exception to Title VII’s requirements,” Lucas said. “Employers who deliberately separate workers or subject them to harassment because of their race, including white employees, violate federal law.”

The Countryside Is Still RACIST

The National Trust’s director-general has declared that Britain’s countryside remains unwelcoming to ethnic minorities, blaming everything from clothing choices to ignorance of basic rural etiquette. 

This isn’t some fringe activist rant — it’s official policy from the charity tasked with protecting the nation’s heritage, straight out of the same DEI playbook that’s already consumed government agencies.

In a video clip shared on X, National Trust Director-General Hilary McGrady stated: “The research clearly shows that ethnic minorities don’t feel comfortable in the countryside — there are lots of reasons for this, they don’t know what to wear, don’t know the countryside code.”

Speaking on LBC, she expanded: “Everything from: it’s not culturally something that they necessarily feel as if it’s part of what they do when they go there. They don’t necessarily know ‘what am I meant to wear, how do I behave? What’s a countryside code? I’ve never heard of it’. So there’s loads of different reasons why they don’t feel confident all the time.”

McGrady insisted the charity must act because “the research comes back really clearly to say they don’t [feel it’s a place for them]. So we accept that and we have to respond in a way that tries to help because the National Trust is here for everyone. That’s part of our charitable purpose.”

As we’ve previously detailed, the government is obsessed with making Britain’s countryside less white.

California Gubernatorial Debate Canceled Because Only White Candidates Qualified for the Event

There was supposed to be a debate tonight for the California gubernatorial race but it has been canceled because only white candidates met the criteria for the event.

Millions of Americans tonight are saying – So what? Who even cares about this?

California has massive problems right now. Is this really one of them?

Perhaps this is one of the reasons that California is bleeding population for the first time in history. Because the people in charge are obsessing over skin color instead of the crazy high taxes and homes that are still not rebuilt more than a year after the wildfires.

NBC News reports:

California governor debate canceled after criticism of criteria that excluded candidates of color

A California gubernatorial debate was canceled just hours before it was set to occur on Tuesday after mounting criticism that only white candidates in the crowded field had qualified for the event.

The criteria to participate in the debate, which was set to be co-sponsored by the University of Southern California and the Los Angeles TV station KABC, had emerged in recent days as a source of controversy in the wide-open race to replace Gov. Gavin Newsom. The sprawling field includes eight prominent Democrats and two major Republicans, as well as several other lesser-known candidates.

USC had faced condemnation for using polling and fundraising criteria for participation in the debate that had resulted in the exclusion of all the nonwhite gubernatorial candidates.

In a statement from late Monday night, USC said that the “concerns about the selection criteria” for the debate had “created a significant distraction from the issues that matter to voters.”

“Unfortunately, USC and KABC have not been able to reach an agreement on expanding the number of candidates at tomorrow’s debate. As a result, USC has made the difficult decision to cancel tomorrow’s debate and will look for other opportunities to educate voters on the candidates and issues,” the university said in that statement.

It’s Not ‘Racism’, It’s Statistics…

A viral video has revealed that CVS is locking up darker makeup shades behind security devices while lighter ones sit open — because stores secure what thieves steal most, and the data backs it up.

A shopper at CVS captured the scene with lighter skin-tone foundations and concealers displayed freely, no locks and no tags, yet the darker shades were all secured behind anti-theft devices.

This isn’t “racism.” It’s basic loss prevention. Retailers don’t waste money locking up products that don’t walk out the door. They follow the numbers.

The wider retail theft crisis makes it crystal clear why. The National Retail Federation’s 2025 Impact of Retail Theft and Violence report shows shoplifting incidents jumped another 19 percent from 2023 to 2024 — on top of a staggering 93 percent surge since 2019.

Retailers reported double-digit increases in both shoplifting and merchandise theft heading into 2026, with aggressive thieves becoming the norm. Losses are projected near $48 billion this year alone.

Stores aren’t profiling customers. They’re protecting their shelves from repeat patterns of theft. And those patterns line up with hard crime statistics.

Nationwide arrest data from 2019 — the most comprehensive recent breakdown available — reveals Black Americans accounted for 26.6 percent of shoplifting arrests while making up just 13 percent of the U.S. population.

Court Backs First-Grader in Suit Over School Reaction to ‘Any Life’ Matters Drawing

Can a “schoolyard dispute” warrant federal court intervention? Do first-graders have First Amendment rights? The U.S. Court of Appeals for the 9th Circuit just gave a resounding yes to both questions.

The case centers on a first-grader identified in court documents as B.B. After her teacher read a story about Martin Luther King Jr., B.B. drew a picture of her and her multiracial friend group. “Black Lives Mater [sic] any life,” it said. Sweet, right?

Apparently not to the administrators at Viejo Elementary School in California’s Capistrano Unified School District. The school’s principal, Jesus Becerra, spoke with B.B. about her drawing, allegedly telling her that it was inappropriate. According to B.B., she was also barred from recess for two weeks.

B.B.’s mother, Chelsea Boyle, sued, alleging that her daughter’s First Amendment rights had been violated.

A federal district court sided with the school and Becerra, holding that B.B.’s drawing was not protected by the First Amendment. “This schoolyard dispute—like most—does not warrant federal court intervention,” wrote U.S. District Judge David O. Carter in the court’s 2024 opinion.

Now, the 9th Circuit has weighed in and reversed course. “We hold that elementary students’ speech is protected by the First Amendment,” the appeals court ruled, vacating the lower court’s decision and sending the case back for reconsideration.

“Schools may restrict students’ speech only when the restriction is reasonably necessary to protect the safety and well-being of its students,” the 9th Circuit judges wrote.
