    If you want to see a prime example of the lawlessness of the Civil Rights Division under the Merrick Garland-run Justice Department, look no further than the “Consent Decree” with Cobb County, Georgia, that DOJ tried to sneak through before the Trump administration took over. The consent decree aimed to institutionalize racial discrimination in the…

    Trump Should Reinstate Obama’s Moratorium on Risky Biological Research

    President Donald Trump is reportedly preparing an executive order to halt funding of risky viral gain-of-function research—lab experimentation designed to genetically manipulate biological agents to make them more transmissible and pathogenic.

    While many Americans may be familiar with the three branches of government in the Constitution, fewer are aware of the fourth branch of government—a vast bureaucracy of “alphabet soup” agencies (think the IRS, FDA, DOJ, and many, many more) that technically answer to the president but enjoy civil service protections that make them hard to…

    Trump Is Reverse Engineering DEI Revolution in Science Institutions

    The Trump administration’s ban on diversity, equity, and inclusion initiatives in the federal government has sent shock waves through science institutions around the country. Way back in 2021, I wrote about how institutions of medicine were promoting transgender ideology with little scientific justification.

But Trump is also going further. He appears intent on correcting the distortion of the original pledges of the civil rights movement. In other words, Trump is not only dispatching Bidenism to the…
