You would think it does not need to be explained to universities that they can’t allow students to be blocked from classes based on their religion. If the University of California, Los Angeles, is any indication, you would be wrong.

Three Jewish students sued UCLA after “pro-Palestinian” (read: Pro-Hamas) protesters blocked them from walking to classes or other areas on campus. This blatant antisemitic discrimination should not be tolerated anywhere, much less at a public university.

And yet, UCLA argued that it was not responsible for any of this because the protesters didn’t work for the university. UCLA wasn’t blocking the classes, the university said, so it shouldn’t be held responsible for anything. According to the university, it shouldn’t even have to try to ensure that students who pay up to $43,000 in tuition each year are able to go to class or even walk around campus without hateful bigots forcibly preventing them from doing so. UCLA thinks it has no responsibility whatsoever to prevent people from taking over the campus and deciding who is allowed to walk where.

Such an assertion is obviously ridiculous, and U.S. District Judge Mark Scarsi ruled against the university while noting that “UCLA may not allow services to some students when UCLA knows that other students are excluded on religious grounds, regardless of who engineered the exclusion.”

Scarsi highlighted repeated instances of antisemites violating university rules in protests after the initial illegal encampment that UCLA allowed to sit for a week before giving law enforcement the green light to dismantle it.

Public universities should not need a judge to tell them this. The moment antisemites or any other bigots begin discriminating against students and preventing them from moving around a campus they are paying to use is the moment law enforcement should be called. UCLA should have been swift in its punishment for students who took part in these “protests” and supported bringing the hammer down on outsiders who invaded UCLA’s campus.

UCLA’s weak-kneed liberal leadership empowered antisemites to take over campus. This is its responsibility. Rolling over for loud, hateful activists to try and avoid conflict is unacceptable, both morally and legally. UCLA’s leadership should be replaced entirely by people who actually recognize that antisemitism and discrimination should not be tolerated because the current collection of “leaders” have clearly failed to do their duty.

When it comes to the issues of the 2024 campaign, Vice President Kamala Harris is hoping everyone just ignores the fact that she has been, and still is, part of the Biden administration.

Harris told reporters on Saturday she would release her policy platform “next week” and that it would “be focused on the economy and what we need to do to bring down costs.” She also said at a rally in Wisconsin that “it will be a day one priority to fight to bring down prices.”

That would all be wonderful news from just about any other candidate, but Harris is in power. She is the vice president, one who supposedly has an important role in the Biden administration. If she has a grand plan to fight increased costs, she should be passing it along to President Joe Biden and fighting it now, not on a future “day one.”

The same goes with immigration, on which Harris has promised to fight for “strong border security.” Harris was already made Biden’s “point person” or “border czar” when it came to immigration, in the words of her liberal media allies. The border crisis worsened under her supervision, but she wants you to believe she will flip the switch if she manages to win in November.

Harris’s campaign promises are inseparable from the fact that she has a record as part of the administration in power right now. When Harris was asked why she hadn’t visited the border despite being given an important role dealing with immigration, she derisively dismissed it by saying she hadn’t been to Europe, either. She was the tiebreaking vote on the Inflation Reduction Act, the deceptively named climate bill, as Biden himself admitted, that made inflation worse.

Harris’s candidacy carries all the failures of the Biden-Harris administration, from the aforementioned problems of immigration and inflation to the botched Afghanistan withdrawal in which Harris supposedly had an important role. Harris has been, and still is, the second-in-command in a historically unpopular administration. The idea that her presidency would look any different than the failed one she served as vice president is a fiction that Harris wants to sell to voters with the help of a liberal media apparatus she knows is rooting for her.

You know crime is out of control when someone like Gov. Gavin Newsom (D-CA) is willing to contradict himself and other elected Democrats to insert himself into local politics to try and fix the problem. Such is the case in Oakland, California.

Newsom has interjected in Alameda County’s affairs on crime because crime in Oakland has become an eyesore for Newsom’s political image. The state is now sending California National Guard prosecutors to handle cases in Alameda County to “speed up” prosecutions, as soft-on-crime District Attorney Pamela Price has continued to drag her feet, reaching a supposedly quick agreement after five months of haggling over a similar one prior.

What are they actually going to do? Who knows? Price and Newsom’s teams disagree about just what is happening in Oakland in the first place, making their supposed deal look more like a silly game than an effort to curb crime. They disagree about how many arrests California Highway Patrol has referred to Price’s office and what they were even negotiating when Newsom and Price were criticizing each other last month.

Why prosecutions in Oakland need to be sped up isn’t clear either, given that Newsom boasted that crime was already down in Oakland in his State of the State address and that Price doesn’t think her job has anything to do with crime numbers.

You know who isn’t confused about what is happening? People in Oakland living through a higher-than-national-average homicide rate and far more carjackings and robberies than the city saw before 2020. Maybe they can offer some clarity to their confused Democratic leaders.

It is always a good sign when two people trying to solve a crime crisis have completely conflicting views on what is happening and what their jobs are. Meanwhile, another few cars were probably jacked from the airport parking lot in Oakland. It may take another five months for Newsom and Price to agree on that, too.

President Joe Biden’s weakness and lack of moral backbone are fueling a possible escalation in the Middle East, all while he disappears from public view for the rest of his lame-duck presidency.

Biden has emboldened terrorists against Israel with his weak rhetoric and even weaker policies, which include funneling aid to Gaza that is inevitably stolen by Hamas and coddling the terrorist-supporting Iranian regime both in rhetoric and by unfreezing $6 billion in funds for the regime. Knowing that Biden would blame Israel for anything while blaming Hamas and other Iranian-backed terrorists for nothing, Iran-backed Hezbollah launched an attack on a soccer field that killed 12 children.

Israel has responded by eliminating several high-profile terrorist targets from Hamas and Hezbollah, and, just as everyone expected, Biden responded by chastising Israel. Biden announced that he once again lectured Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu about agreeing to a ceasefire, and it was reported that Biden whined about Israel killing a Hamas leader and tacitly threatened, again, to withdraw American support for Israel.

So, now that the threat of escalation here lies with Iran, what is Biden’s strategy? Is it stern lectures or the threat of losing the support of his administration, as he has repeatedly used against Israel?

No, Biden’s grand strategy is hope. When asked whether Iran would stand down, Biden said, “I hope so. I don’t know.” It is reminiscent of all the times Biden warned American adversaries “don’t” any time a threat loomed and considered that to be deterrence. Surely, Iran is trembling in its boots at Biden’s warning of “I hope so.”

For the duration of his presidency, Biden has projected weakness to all of America’s worst adversaries. It is why the Taliban conquered Afghanistan despite the Biden administration’s “concerns,” why Russia invaded Ukraine, and why Iran and its terrorist proxies have been recklessly escalating conflict with Israel. Throughout all of this, Biden has been tougher on Israel than just about anyone else.

Placating and coddling adversaries while saving your harshest words for an ally under constant assault from terrorists is how you embolden those adversaries to take more reckless and more extreme actions that lead to the escalation many are worried about now. Biden’s weakness and unwillingness to stand up for American interests and allies have made the world more dangerous, and everyone can see it.

President Joe Biden’s Title IX changes are getting rolled up by the courts as the school year approaches, which is great news for due process and for people who don’t want boys in girls’ locker rooms.

Biden’s destructive Title IX changes are being held up in half the country by legal challenges and may be delayed in more due to unclear guidance from the Biden administration amid those challenges. Biden’s changes included stripping students of due process rights on college campuses, a return to Obama-era policies that resulted in hundreds of successful lawsuits against universities by students who were expelled or otherwise disciplined through the witch hunt system Biden wants to impose.

Biden’s Education Department is telling schools to push ahead with these rules, even though they may be tossed out or further restrained by the courts in the middle of the school year, and thus in the middle of university Title IX “investigations.” The Biden administration is trying to get the Supreme Court to at least allow the rule forcing schools to let boys into girls’ restrooms and locker rooms to be enforced while the due process provisions are reviewed, and has begun instructing schools on how to “draft new nondiscrimination policies” to fit the questionable rules.

CLICK HERE TO READ MORE FROM THE WASHINGTON EXAMINER

As a result of Biden pushing these rules even as they remain caught up in the courts, school officials are scrambling to figure out what they should even be doing. It is a fitting result, given how sporadic and incompetent Biden’s policies and decisions have been on every other policy. Hopefully, the courts make this process a lot easier and strike down Biden’s terrible rule changes that deprive students of due process and corrupt Title IX gender protections to fit transgender ideology.

As it stands, schools are stuck in the middle of a legal stalemate, with students about to return to classrooms and campuses across the country. It is another Biden failure that is, hopefully, enough of a failure that the courts are able to correct it for the good of students and for the administrators scrambling to find workable policies on short notice.

It is another Biden failure that is, hopefully, enough of a failure that the courts are able to correct it for the good of students and for the administrators scrambling to find workable policies on short notice.

, President Joe Biden’s Title IX changes are getting rolled up by the courts as the school year approaches, which is great news for due process and for people who don’t want boys in girls’ locker rooms. Biden’s destructive Title IX changes are being held up in half the country by legal challenges and may be delayed in more due to unclear guidance from the Biden administration amid those challenges. Biden’s changes included stripping students of due process rights on college campuses, a return to Obama-era policies that resulted in hundreds of successful lawsuits against universities by students who were expelled or otherwise disciplined through the witch hunt system Biden wants to impose. Biden’s Education Department is telling schools to push ahead with these rules, even though they may be tossed out or further restrained by the courts in the middle of the school year, and thus in the middle of university Title IX “investigations.” The Biden administration is trying to get the Supreme Court to at least allow the rule forcing schools to let boys into girls’ restrooms and locker rooms to be enforced while the due process provisions are reviewed, and has begun instructing schools on how to “draft new nondiscrimination policies” to fit the questionable rules.

It is a fitting result, given how sporadic and incompetent Biden’s policies and decisions have been on every other policy.

Liberal media are already trying to erase any record of Vice President Kamala Harris being tasked with fixing the border crisis. Will they also try to absolve her of her role in President Joe Biden’s botched Afghanistan withdrawal?

Harris’s vulnerabilities on the border crisis have led liberal media to pretend that she had nothing to do with the border despite the fact that they repeatedly referred to her as the “border czar” and Biden’s “point person” on the border crisis. But travel back to 2021 and you will find that Harris also had a hand in the Afghanistan withdrawal that sank Biden’s approval rating for good.

CNN’s Dana Bash acknowledged that Biden wanted Harris to be the “last person in the room” on every major decision of his administration, and Harris confirmed that she was the last person in the room with him on the Afghanistan withdrawal. Harris even confirmed that she felt comfortable with Biden’s withdrawal decision and plan.

That plan culminated in the Taliban’s takeover of Afghanistan, the stranding of hundreds of Americans who were left behind after being promised the Taliban wouldn’t take over, the stranding of tens of thousands of Afghan allies, Afghans falling off of American planes trying to escape, a suicide bombing that killed 13 U.S. servicemembers, and a retaliatory drone strike that killed no terrorists but did kill an aid worker and seven children.

Harris tied herself closely to Biden’s position on Afghanistan. It is yet another aspect of the Biden-Harris presidency for which she must answer, right alongside her role in the border crisis. Harris was part of the same disastrous administration that tanked Biden’s reelection chances. Unless it turns out that she did nothing at all for the past four years but stand behind Biden at press conferences, the administration’s failures include her failures as well. Liberal media can’t erase them all.

While Democrats complain about “threats to democracy,” they and their union allies were attempting to overturn election results in California. That effort has now, thankfully, failed.

The election in question was the 2020 statewide vote on Proposition 22, which would have exempted rideshare companies such as Uber or Lyft from the state’s destructive anti-worker law that forced independent contractors across multiple industries to become employees. This law forced freelancers out of work entirely and is one Democrats want to export nationwide.

Uber and Lyft pushed back on the law, though, getting an exemption on the ballot. In an election in which more than 16 million Californians voted, the exemption passed with 59% of the vote. But Assemblywoman Lorena Gonzalez, who authored the law, declared that “it doesn’t matter if it was a fair election” and that the will of the voters should be tossed out. The Service Employees International Union attempted to do exactly that with a lawsuit, temporarily getting the will of the voters thrown out by the courts.

That saga has come to an end, though, as the California Supreme Court ruled Thursday that the exemption could stand. The SEIU has been defeated, as has Gonzalez, who ran from her seat in the legislature to become the president of the California Federation of Labor Unions, AFL-CIO.

CLICK HERE TO READ MORE FROM THE WASHINGTON EXAMINER

That doesn’t change what happened though: Gonzalez and California Democrats passed a bill to empower and enrich labor unions by forcing contract workers, many of whom were content with their independent status, to be classified as employees. Many lost their jobs entirely as a result and found their freedoms restricted. When voters decided to use California’s ballot propositions to carve out an exception, the unions then tried to have their votes thrown out to cement their own power.

The fact that national Democrats want to copy this law nationwide should tell you everything you need to know. Democrats make their labor policy based on what unions want, not what actual laborers desire, which is why the party wants to eliminate right-to-work policies that let workers opt out of paying union dues to unions that funnel money back to the Democratic Party’s political machine. Some labor unions are a bigger threat to democracy than anything Democrats complain about now, but Democrats are fine with it because the unions are on their side.

Vice President Kamala Harris can’t run for president using her prosecutor image because she herself abandoned that image to be a Black Lives Matter darling.

Harris and her media allies are trying to paint her as a hard-nosed prosecutor who is therefore immune from attacks on just how pro-criminal the Democratic Party has become. To hear Harris tell it, she is a prosecutor at heart, and former President Donald Trump is a criminal. The choice couldn’t get any easier than that.

The problem with this, for starters, is that Harris’s record as a prosecutor is spotty. Her first instinct when a police officer was shot and killed shortly after she became San Francisco’s district attorney was to announce that the killer should not face the death penalty. Her idea of being tough on crime included threatening to jail parents of truant children (and boasting about it) and locking up people for marijuana (and then laughing about using marijuana herself).

Even putting aside debates about the quality of Harris’s prosecutorial record, the fact is that she ran from this prosecutor image as part of the Democratic Party’s embrace of Black Lives Matter. During the Black Lives Matter riots in Minneapolis in 2020, Harris asked her supporters to donate to the Minnesota Freedom Fund, which was using that money to pay bail for rioters. The group also used that money to free a twice-convicted rapist, accused murderers, and people who later went on to commit murders.

CLICK HERE TO READ MORE FROM THE WASHINGTON EXAMINER

Whether Harris knew her decision would have those effects is not as relevant as why she did it. Harris boosted a bail fund organization in response to violent riots where rioters burned down, looted, and vandalized businesses. Harris’s impulse upon seeing violent riots was to take the side of the rioters and help get them out of jail as soon as possible. How, exactly, does that mesh with her image as a prosecutor?

Harris can’t run honestly or effectively as a prosecutor because she is one of the most inauthentic politicians on the national stage and falls into line with whatever the orthodoxy of her left-wing base is at the time. Harris shattered whatever remained of her tough prosecutor image in 2020, and she isn’t going to be able to revive it so easily for yet another presidential campaign.

Liberal sports media are going to continue to use Caitlin Clark to push their agendas. In this case, ESPN is setting the stage to rob her of the WNBA Rookie of the Year award. More specifically, it is doing so on behalf of Angel Reese.

Clark’s case for the award is simple. She is the league’s 10th-leading scorer and second-leading passer. Despite being thought of as an offense-only guard, she actually averages the same amount of steals and more blocks per game than the taller, defensive-minded Reese (Reese is far more prone to having her own shots blocked). As of last week, Clark was responsible for over 40% of the Indiana Fever’s points, and she was leading the league in points scored or assisted on.

Jump into the stats more deeply, and you will see that while Reese has an impressive streak of games with double-digit points and rebounds, she is remarkably inefficient for being a player who only shoots from directly next to the basket. Clark’s impact (despite being the focal point of every team she plays against) is superior to Reese’s, a good athlete who is not very skilled and is not the focal point of opposing defenses.

The excuses for Reese are already flowing from ESPN, though, which is desperate to promote Reese and take Clark down a peg. (This much is obvious from Thursday’s ESPYs award show, where host Serena Williams implied Clark has too many delusional white fans and begged people to be fans of both her and Reese.) ESPN’s Monica McNutt said she would base the award on standings, a ridiculous standard for Rookie of the Year (where the best rookies are usually on the worst teams) and where Reese’s Chicago Sky barely sit ahead of Clark’s Fever in the first place.

CLICK HERE TO READ MORE FROM THE WASHINGTON EXAMINER

ESPN’s Carolyn Peck said that Clark gets to play “freer” than Reese despite Clark being a defensive focal point who is often guarded the entire length of the court. ESPN also put Reese atop its rookie rankings list halfway through the season. Given that the Rookie of the Year award is given out by the media, it is clear where ESPN is trying to take this conversation (one year after ESPN decided to make the NBA MVP discussion about race).

The reliance on standings and confused ideas of what playing “freer” looks like shows that ESPN pundits are willing to go to any length to ensure that Reese wins the award at Clark’s expense, all while the network has made it clear that it resents many of Clark’s fans. ESPN’s toxic racial interpretations of every sports topic are governing how it discusses league awards as the network tries to put Reese on the same level as Clark when their impacts on and off the court are nowhere near comparable.

Did you know that putting trash bags in trash bins instead of leaving them on the street is more sanitary, more civilized, and keeps rats out?

Did it cost you $4 million to reach that conclusion? Because if it did, you may be New York City.

Two years ago, New York City shelled out nearly $4 million to a consulting firm to figure out a system where residents could put their waste in containers for the city to pick up. Now, New York City has finally moved into the modern age, with Mayor Eric Adams wheeling out a garbage bin at a press conference with a level of enthusiasm that would have you believe the city discovered fire or the fountain of youth.

CLICK HERE TO READ MORE FROM THE WASHINGTON EXAMINER

And all it took to figure out that piling garbage bags on the sidewalk was a bad idea was $4 million in taxpayer dollars and 21 months of an outside consulting firm throwing ideas at the wall before coming up with the same trash disposal system cities and suburbs have been using across the country. It is that kind of ingenuity and efficiency that justifies New York City’s arrogant reputation of looking down on the rest of the country from the top of piles of trash bags being picked apart by rats.

With trash now off of the list, the question becomes about what innovation New York City will discover next. Perhaps the city will discover that keeping violent criminals behind bars prevents them from committing more violent crimes, though who knows how many more millions must be paid to a consulting firm to reach that stunning conclusion so soon after discovering that trash bins exist.
