I got some huge news about a deportation of a famous Mexican this week. The shock with my family shook our Independence Day. Then I found out why.
Donald Trump is ending one of the dumbest policies at the airport.
And the Supreme Court continues to put a muzzle on these damn district court judges.
Monster News
According to the Daily Wire:
The Trump administration is moving to end the requirement that passengers remove their shoes when going through airport security, according to multiple reports.
The much-hated shoe removal mandate, which has been in place since 2006, is being gradually phased out in the coming weeks, according to Transportation Security Administration (TSA) agents who have told multiple news outlets. White House Press Secretary Karoline Leavitt confirmed the news on Tuesday morning.
The phase-out began at Baltimore/Washington International Airport, Fort Lauderdale International Airport, Cincinnati/Northern Kentucky International Airport, Portland International Airport, Philadelphia International Airport, and Piedmont Triad International Airport in North Carolina, CBS News reported.
Another Big Win
According to the Daily Wire:
The U.S. Supreme Court cleared the way on Tuesday for President Donald Trump to resume his plans to cut the federal workforce and restructure agencies, a key promise he made on the campaign trail to hack away at the size of the federal government.
The justices lifted San Francisco-based U.S. District Judge Susan Illston’s May 22 order that had blocked large-scale federal layoffs called “reductions in force” affecting potentially hundreds of thousands of jobs, while litigation in the case proceeds.
Trump in February announced “a critical transformation of the federal bureaucracy” in an executive order directing agencies to prepare for a government overhaul aimed at significantly reducing the federal workforce and gutting offices and programs opposed by the administration.
Workforce reductions were planned at the U.S. Departments of Agriculture, Commerce, Health and Human Services, State, Treasury, Veterans Affairs, and more than a dozen other agencies.
Liberal Justice Ketanji Brown Jackson was the sole member of the nine-person court to publicly dissent from the decision. Jackson wrote that Illston’s “temporary, practical, harm-reducing preservation of the status quo was no match for this court’s demonstrated enthusiasm for greenlighting this president’s legally dubious actions in an emergency posture.”
This Will Kill DEI
According to the Daily Wire:
The trial is underway for a professor who sued the University of California, Los Angeles, over his suspension after he refused to grade black students more leniently in the wake of George Floyd’s highly publicized death.
Gordon Klein, an accounting professor at UCLA, is demanding $22 million in damages in a trial that began last week in Santa Monica.
Back in June 2020, just weeks after George Floyd’s death, Klein received an email from a group of his students asking for a “no-harm” final exam that could only help their grades and would involve shorter tests and extended deadlines for final assignments and projects.
The students asked for special accommodations due to “traumas, we have been placed in a position where we much (sic) choose between actively supporting our black classmates or focusing on finishing up our spring quarter,” as The Daily Wire reported at the time.
“We believe that remaining neutral in times of injustice brings power to the oppressor and therefore staying silent is not an option,” the students told Klein.
The students claimed their request was not “a joint effort to get finals canceled for non-black students,” but rather to “ask that you exercise compassion and leniency with black students in our major.”
Klein responded with several sarcastic emails that got him in trouble with the school.
“Thanks for your suggestion in your email below that I give black students special treatment, given the tragedy in Minnesota,” Klein wrote to the students.
“Do you know the names of the classmates that are black?” the professor asked. “How can I identify them since we’ve been having online classes only?”
Klein also asked about students who “may be of mixed parentage, such as half black-half Asian?”
“What do you suggest I do with respect to them? A full concession or just half?” he quipped.
Klein also wrote that “a white student from [Minneapolis] might be possibly even more devastated by this, especially because some might think that they’re racist even if they are not.”
The professor ended his email response to the complaining students with Martin Luther King Jr.’s famous quote about not judging people based on the color of their skin.
Students screenshotted Klein’s email and posted it to social media, where it sparked angry responses.
Klein was suspended and criticized by UCLA in June 2020 before being reinstated in September 2020, according to the Daily Bruin.
“Conduct that demonstrates a disregard for our core principles, including an abuse of power, is not acceptable,” wrote Anderson School Dean Antonio Bernardo in a message to the campus community. “I deeply regret the increased pain and anger that our community has experienced at this very difficult time. We must and will hold each other to higher standards.”
Dumbass of the Day
Superman was not an immigrant. He left Krypton after a natural disaster. He has no home planet or country. He is a refuge.
Also, the saying, “Truth, justice, and the American way” has been replaced by Hollywood (even in Gunn’s own movie).
- “Truth, Justice, and a Better Tomorrow”: In 2021, DC Comics officially updated Superman’s motto to this phrase, signaling a move toward a more universal message.
- “Truth, Justice, and the Human Way”: For the 2025 James Gunn-directed Superman film, merchandise and promotional materials have revealed yet another update, replacing “the American way” with “the human way.” This version emphasizes Superman’s role as a hero for all humanity, rather than just an American icon.
