A girls' cross country runner at Martin Luther King High School in Riverside, California, delivered an impassioned plea to her school board on Thursday amid an ongoing controversy over a trans athlete on her team. The 16-year-old high school student, Rylee Morrow, addressed a recent lawsuit by her teammates alleging that their "Save Girls Sports" T-shirts were likened to a swastika by school officials. The plaintiffs had worn the shirts after a transgender athlete, who hadn't consistently attended practices or met key varsity eligibility requirements, was placed on the varsity team, displacing one of the girls from her spot, the complaint alleged. Athletic department school officials allegedly then forced the students to remove or conceal the shirts, claiming they created a "hostile" environment and comparing wearing these shirts to wearing a swastika in front of Jewish students.

On Thanksgiving Day in 1965, two young guests visiting Alice Brock and her husband, Ray, repaid the hospitality by helping clean up an old church that the couple had converted into their home in western Massachusetts. They loaded up a red Volkswagen Microbus with discarded furniture, scraps of wood and other debris. But the dump was closed for the holiday. So they tossed the junk down a hill in Stockbridge. Someone told the police. And events were set in motion for what became folk singer Arlo Guthrie's autobiographical anthem of wartime protest, hippie fellowship and a belly-filling Thanksgiving feast. The 1967 album "Alice's Restaurant" also made Ms. Brock a reluctant counterculture doyenne as the purveyor of the place where "you can get anything you want." Read more

President Biden has submitted a proposal to Congress to forgive half of Ukraine's debt related to economic assistance, amounting to approximately $4.65 billion, said State Department spokesman Matthew Miller. In the spring, Congress approved the Additional Ukraine Supplemental Appropriations Act, which allocated about $61 billion for Ukraine's security in April 2024. The legislation specifies that economic aid - around $10 billion - was provided to Ukraine as a conditional loan, not a grant. However, the document submitted by Biden grants him the authority to forgive 50% of this loan. The document also notes that the remaining 50% could be forgiven by the next US president after January 1, 2026. "We have taken the step that was outlined in the law to cancel those loans," Miller said. He noted that after the White House informs Congress about this decision, lawmakers may pass a resolution of disapproval. However, in his opinion, this will not happen.
The Biden administration is loosening some key immigration restrictions ahead of President-elect Trump's second term, opening the door for thousands more illegal immigrants to enter the country. Trump has indicated that he could declare a national emergency and use military assets to carry out mass deportations. The Biden administration, however, is taking steps to make Trump's plans for the border more difficult. The Biden Department of Homeland Security is launching an ICE Portal app in December that will allow migrants to skip their in-person check-ins at an ICE office and instead check in with immigration officials via an app on a phone or computer, according to reporting by The New York Post. The app reportedly has severe glitching issues and does not track a migrant's location if he or she is using an Android phone or laptop.

Progressives have suddenly found themselves lost in the political wilderness, caught in a self-inflicted trap of anger and fear. From the sound of their fury, they could be there for a long while. (Thoughts and prayers.) With Democrats now irrelevant, the second Trump administration has four years to take a wrecking ball to the Washington establishment, including deep cuts to federal spending and an overhaul of the bloated bureaucracy. To understand why the wrecking ball is needed, look at the annual budget deficit ' $1.8 trillion in fiscal year 2024. In a time of relative peace and prosperity, the deficit grew 8% in one year, even though federal revenue increased by 11%. In other words, the Biden-Harris administration collected significantly more money from taxpayers in the last fiscal year but still managed to blow up the deficit by an additional $138 billion. That's simply unsustainable.
Rep. Jasmine Crockett didn't hold back when speaking about oppression in America during a DEI hearing on the House floor. On Wednesday (November 20), Crockett sent a clear message that white men in America have never been oppressed during the House Oversight Committee hearing on the "Dismantle DEI Act." The GOP-sponsored bill would eliminate all federal DEI offices and programs. Crockett called out her Republican colleagues for labeling themselves as oppressed due to DEI. She described their redefinition of the word "oppression" as "nails on a chalkboard." "It seems like you don't understand the definition of oppression and I'd ask you to just refer to Google to help you out," Crockett said.
