Jeanine Pirro: ‘Rights Not Violated, But Protected,’ Trump’s Overhaul Brings Results

/

Former Fox News host Jeanine Pirro is now at the center of President Donald Trump’s effort to bring federal control to Washington, D.C.’s justice system, as reported by Fox News.

As the newly appointed U.S. Attorney for the District of Columbia, Pirro has been tasked with executing Trump’s promise of a “Liberation Day” for the nation’s capital.

Pirro, who previously appeared as a co-host on Fox News’ “The Five,” made clear over the weekend that her top priority is ensuring public safety.

“The first order of government is the protection of its people,” Pirro said during an appearance on My View with Lara Trump. “We want to make D.C. safe again.”

She defended Trump’s decision to federalize the Metropolitan Police Department, describing it as a necessary step to restore order in the city.

“President Trump wants to make D.C. safe and beautiful and part of my appointment here by the president was to follow through on that initiative, and the federalization of the Metropolitan PD is something that I think is a great thing and the agenda is very clear,” she said.

Pirro emphasized that the reforms are designed to protect the rights of residents, not diminish them, pushing back against criticism from opponents.

She highlighted youth crime as a central problem, pointing out that violent crimes committed by teenagers are often routed to family courts under a system focused on rehabilitation.

“If I have a 17-year-old who shoots someone with a gun, but he doesn’t kill that person, I cannot… prosecute them, investigate them. It goes to the family court. The mission there is rehabilitation… and that just isn’t cutting it with me or anyone else who’s a law enforcement professional.”

Pirro argued that the justice system in D.C. is failing victims by prioritizing rehabilitation programs such as “yoga” and “ice cream socials” over accountability for offenders.

“For 30 years, I have fought the fight to make sure that we make criminals accountable and that we protect the victim. We are not doing enough to protect the victims in D.C.,” she said.

The U.S. attorney also pointed out that the surge in violence has disproportionately affected minority communities, particularly African-American youth.

She noted that dozens of young lives have been cut short in the past year and a half, with many of those cases remaining unsolved.

“We haven’t arrested them, we haven’t taken the guns from them, and that’s what the president understands, and that is my mission,” Pirro said.

According to Pirro, Trump’s initiative is already delivering measurable results in its first week, including hundreds of arrests, the seizure of dozens of illegal firearms, and the removal of fentanyl from the streets.

Protests that erupted outside the White House over the weekend were dismissed by Pirro as “political theater.” Speaking on Fox & Friends Weekend, she said:

“They should kiss the ground at this point that you’ve got someone who wants to make this city safe again, who wants to make it clean again.”

She also warned that demonstrations labeled as “music festivals” were in reality a cover for lawlessness.

Pirro concluded with a firm commitment to President Trump’s agenda, stating, “Here’s what the president’s going to do: he’s going to make a difference. We’re going to change the laws.”

Adam Schiff Struggles Live on CNN When Asked About Trump’s Peace Efforts

/

Sen. Adam Schiff (D-CA) was pressed Friday on CNN over whether President Donald Trump deserves credit for working to achieve peace between Russia and Ukraine following Trump’s meeting with Russian President Vladimir Putin in Anchorage, Alaska.

Appearing on CNN’s The Lead, Schiff was asked by host Jake Tapper about the significance of Trump’s summit with Putin and whether his efforts represented progress compared to Joe Biden’s approach.

Tapper noted that Biden’s strategy on Ukraine had failed to stop the war despite providing billions in aid to Kyiv.

Schiff was reluctant to give Trump credit, instead emphasizing his preference for expanded U.S. military support to Ukraine.

“Look, I’m all for any attempt to bring an end to the bloodshed, but what would have been, I think, a far more successful strategy for the President was to have Ukraine’s back, to be leaning into providing material and military support to Ukraine, to give Ukraine the resources it needed to take out the trains carrying fuel going to the front, which have continued to feed the war,” Schiff said.

The Anchorage summit marked Trump’s latest attempt to broker peace in Eastern Europe.

While no official agreement was announced, Trump has consistently called for a permanent resolution to the conflict and warned Putin that sanctions could follow if negotiations did not begin.

Schiff, however, argued that Trump has weakened Ukraine’s position in the war.

“So I agree, the Biden approach didn’t succeed, and I think because it was too slow to provide enough material support to Ukraine to give Ukraine that military advantage it needed,” Schiff continued.

“But what the President has done since taking office has been to undercut that. We have a bipartisan bill, as you know, strongly bipartisan, to sanction Russia. The President hasn’t allowed that legislation to move forward, and the President’s own threat of imposing sanctions he withdrew on, at least until now. So I don’t think this is the successful negotiating posture Ukraine deserves.”

The Russia-Ukraine conflict has spanned three administrations.

Fighting initially erupted under the Obama administration following Russia’s annexation of Crimea in 2014.

A full-scale war broke out in 2022 under Biden, who pledged billions in U.S. assistance to Ukraine.

Despite the flow of aid, Ukrainian forces were unable to secure decisive victories, and the war has continued into 2025.

During Biden’s presidency, the U.S. government issued sanctions on Russian banks and debt, barred American investment in separatist-controlled regions of Ukraine, and later reimposed sanctions on the Nord Stream 2 gas pipeline.

Biden promised additional action if Russia escalated further, stating that the United States and its allies would respond “in a united and decisive way.”

“The world will hold Russia accountable,” Biden said in February 2022, shortly before Russia launched its full-scale invasion of Ukraine.

Russian President Vladimir Putin responded at the time with warnings that any attempts to obstruct Moscow would result in “consequences you have never seen in history.”

Since returning to the White House, Trump has framed his approach around direct negotiations and long-term peace agreements rather than open-ended aid packages or temporary ceasefires.

The Anchorage meeting with Putin is expected to be followed by discussions with Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky, who is scheduled to visit the White House on Monday.

Trump has emphasized that his administration’s goal is to end the war permanently, contrasting his strategy with the Biden-Harris administration’s reliance on sanctions and military aid.

The president has argued that only a negotiated settlement between Moscow and Kyiv can bring an end to the conflict and restore stability in the region.

UFC Independence Day Championship Planned for South Lawn, Dana White Confirms

/

Ultimate Fighting Championship (UFC) President Dana White says the White House will host a UFC cage fight on the South Lawn, with the event set for Independence Day next year, as reported by the Gateway Pundit.

In an interview with The Wall Street Journal, White confirmed that the fight will take place at 1600 Pennsylvania Avenue. “That is going to happen,” he said.

According to CBS News, White discussed the plan with President Donald Trump on Monday night and is scheduled to meet with both the president and Ivanka Trump at the end of the month to finalize event details and review venue renderings.

A source familiar with the preparations confirmed that the White House expects the event to occur.

“When he called me and asked me to do it, he said, ‘I want Ivanka in the middle of this,’” White recalled. “So Ivanka reached out to me, and her and I started talking about the possibilities, where it would be and, you know, I put together all the renderings.”

While the Independence Day date has been set, White did not announce any fighters for the match.

President Trump first raised the idea publicly last month during a rally in Iowa, where he was speaking at a “Salute to America” event.

“We’re going to have a UFC fight, think of this, on the grounds of the White House. We have a lot of land there. We’re going to build a little — we’re not, Dana’s going to do it. Dana’s great. One of a kind,” Trump said.

Trump said it would be a “championship fight” and estimated the South Lawn setup could hold a crowd of 25,000 people.

White and Trump have maintained a long friendship. The president has regularly attended UFC events over the years, often receiving strong applause from fans when entering arenas.

Donald Trump Approves Direct Military Action Against International Drug Cartels

Donald Trump Approves Direct Military Action Against International Drug Cartels

President Donald Trump has signed a directive authorizing the U.S. military to target select Latin American drug cartels designated as foreign terrorist organizations, escalating his administration’s efforts against fentanyl trafficking and transnational criminal gangs, as reported by The Gateway Pundit.

The move reframes cartel activity as a national security threat, giving the Pentagon expanded authority to act both domestically and abroad.

The directive follows an executive order issued at the start of Trump’s second term, instructing the State Department to designate cartels and transnational gangs as foreign terrorist organizations.

Chicago, Illinois. USA, May 18, 1987 Federal DEA agents display plies of cash and drugs, including kilos of heroin and powder cocaine, along with weapons seized in recent raids across Chicago.

In February, the State Department named eight such groups, including MS-13 and Tren de Aragua. The list has since grown to include two Haitian gangs, Yemen’s Houthis, and Venezuela’s Cartel de los Soles.

The Treasury Department also designated the Venezuelan cartel, led by President Nicolás Maduro and senior officials, as a Specially Designated Global Terrorist entity. The administration doubled the reward for Maduro’s arrest to $50 million.

The U.S. has designated six major Mexican cartels as foreign terrorist organizations: the Sinaloa Cartel, Jalisco New Generation Cartel, Gulf Cartel, Northeast Cartel, United Cartels, and the Michoacán Family.

Secretary of State Marco Rubio explained that these designations shift the approach from law enforcement to national security, enabling the U.S. to use military and intelligence resources against the groups.

“We have to start treating them as armed terrorist organizations, not simply drug dealing organizations,” Rubio said.

The order sets the stage for potential direct U.S. military operations, including naval missile strikes on cartel targets and expanded cooperation with Mexican authorities.

More than 10,000 service members are currently deployed to the U.S.-Mexico border, and the Pentagon has established three National Defense Areas in Arizona, New Mexico, and Texas to strengthen border security.

The Department of Justice has already applied the new designation in prosecutions.

In June 2025, it unsealed its first indictment under the framework, charging a Mexican national with providing material support to the Jalisco New Generation Cartel, including supplying grenades. A similar indictment was issued in May.

The administration has also invoked the Fentanyl Sanctions Act and the FEND Off Fentanyl Act to target cartel-linked financial networks.

On June 25, the Treasury’s FinCEN ordered U.S. banks to cut ties with three Mexico-based financial institutions accused of laundering millions for cartels and facilitating fentanyl production.

President Claudia Sheinbaum speaks at the nation’s main plaza on Oct. 1, 2024 during a ceremony for the beginning of her mandate.

Mexican President Claudia Sheinbaum rejected any U.S. military involvement inside Mexico, stating Friday, “The United States is not going to come to Mexico with the military… We cooperate, we collaborate, but there is not going to be an invasion.”

She confirmed Mexico was notified in advance of the order but insisted it did not involve the deployment of U.S. troops on Mexican soil.

Critics in Washington have raised legal questions about the directive, including whether the president can order lethal action without congressional authorization.

Under the War Powers Resolution, a president can deploy forces abroad for 60 days, with a possible 30-day withdrawal period, without a formal authorization for the use of military force, provided Congress is notified within 48 hours.

Past presidents have used similar authority.

In 2011, President Obama authorized military intervention in Libya without congressional approval, and in 2014, ordered airstrikes against ISIS in Syria and Iraq without a new authorization, continuing combat operations for years under existing legal frameworks.

President Trump has stated that his administration will not tolerate the trafficking of fentanyl and the movement of cartel-linked gangs across the southern border, signaling that military force is now an option in dismantling their operations.

Ex-FBI Director James Comey Rants About Daughter’s Termination from the DOJ

Ex-FBI Director James Comey Rants About Daughter’s Termination from the DOJ

/

Former FBI Director James Comey went on an unhinged rant after his daughter Maurene was fired from her position as a federal prosecutor for the Manhattan U.S. Attorney’s office in the Southern District of New York (SDNY). While it was unclear why she was fired, they both blamed President Trump for the termination.

During the tirade posted on his Substack page, Comey characterized his daughter and other Department of Justice employees as trusted and impartial outsiders who were not affiliated with any political party. 

“They’re believed because, when they speak, they aren’t seen as Republicans or Democrats,” he said. “Instead, they’re seen as something separate and apart in American life—a group of people just trying to do the right thing.”

However, Comey’s daughter immediately contradicted his words by attacking the president using the classic jabs that the left has repeatedly used to smear Trump.

“Yesterday was unexpectedly my last day in the office. I was summarily fired via memo from Main Justice that did not give a reason for my termination,” she wrote, according to a letter her father read.

“But we have entered a new phase where without fear may be the challenge. If a career prosecutor can be fired without reason, fear may seep into the decisions of those who remain. Do not let that happen. Fear is the tool of a tyrant, wielded to suppress independent thought.”

Comey echoed his daughter’s sentiments, directly attacking Trump and other DOJ top officials, accusing them of trying to turn the Department of Justice into Trump’s empire. 

“Trump and the hacks who lead the Department of Justice are hammering at the dam day after day, trying to turn it into just another gold-leaf-covered Trump subsidiary.”

“Our best hope is that good people will stay and do what Maureen asked—have the courage to do the right thing, always. You may get fired for acting that way, but there’s honor in that—and nothing but disgrace for those who don’t stand up.”

During his campaigns, Trump had promised to deweaponize the Department of Justice and the FBI to ensure they focus on fighting crime instead of persecuting political enemies.

Over 35 DOJ staff members who worked with disgraced former Special Counsel Jack Smith have lost their jobs, and 15 more may be terminated. They include two prosecutors in North Carolina and Florida. 

Some vocal conservative voices fighting for the release of Epstein files, including Laura Loomer,  had asked AG Bondi to fire Maureen, whose husband, Lucas Issacharoff, is reportedly a Trump-hating DOJ employee. 

According to Loomer, Comey’s son-in-law works as an Assistant U.S. Attorney in the Southern District of New York. He previously worked with the law firm Susman Godfrey LLP, which President Trump has blacklisted for allegedly participating in anti-Trump lawfare.

“This comes 2 months after my pressure campaign on Pam Blondi to fire Comey’s daughter and Comey’s son in law from the DOJ,” Loomer posted on X.

Meanwhile, Comey is under investigation for a bogus report linking Trump to the Russian election interference hoax and a cryptic Instagram post that seemed to call for the assassination of President Trump.

Trump Deports “Barbaric” Illegal Aliens to an Obscure African Hellhole

/

The Trump administration has shipped some of the worst criminal illegal aliens to an obscure African nation that most Americans have never heard of. These deportations occurred on the heels of the Trump administration’s legal victory allowing illegal aliens be sent to any third countries that are willing to accept them.

The Democratic Party’s poster child for illegal aliens, Kilmar Abrego-Garcia, was cleared for deportation to a third country or his homeland. Over a span of just five years, Salvadorian President Nayib Bukele has cleared his nation of illegal gangs, which paved the way for Abrego-Garcia’s return to his homeland. 

However, an activist judge ordered his return to the United States, a country in which he does not belong and where he currently faces numerous charges related to the transportation of illegal aliens. 

In the meantime, the Trump administration has flown numerous illegals, including those accused or convicted of grievous crimes such as murder and child molestation, to Eswatini,  a tiny landlocked African country surrounded by a United States’ adversary, South Africa.

According to Fox News national security correspondent Bill Melugin, the deportees on the flight hailed from Asia and South America.

“On board were egregious criminal illegal aliens, including three convicted murderers and a convicted child rapist. Nationalities: Vietnam, Jamaica, Laos, & Cuba.”

According to the Department of Homeland Security’s Assistant Secretary Tricia McLaughlin, the deportees were depraved monsters who terrorized law-abiding Americans and would never be allowed to return to the U.S. Just recently, the Trump administration had returned suspected MS-13 gang member Kilmar Abrego-Garcia to his native El Salvador to face charges related to the transportation of illegal aliens. An activist judge later ordered his return to the U.S.

“A safe third country deportation flight to Eswatini in Southern Africa has landed— This flight took individuals so uniquely barbaric that their home countries refused to take them back,” she wrote. “These depraved monsters have been terrorizing American communities, but thanks to [President Trump] (and) [DHS Secretary Kristi Noem], they are off of American soil.”

Besides El Salvador, which has dominated news headlines, over 30 third countries have reached agreements with the United States to accept illegal immigrants from other countries whose governments have refused to accept them. They include Mexico, Panama, Colombia, Costa Rica, Guatemala, Honduras, Rwanda, and Libya. 

Recently, White House Deputy Chief of Staff and Homeland Security Advisor Stephen Miller promised that the Trump administration would deport over 1 million illegal immigrants by working with these countries.

“Whether that be South Sudan, Somalia, or Ethiopia — any country in the world that is willing to accept these monsters — we can get them out of our country and be free of them forever,” Miller said.

Appearing on “Hannity” on Fox News, he warned about an activist judge who has vowed to defy the Supreme Court ruling allowing the Trump administration to deport illegal immigrants to third countries.

“The only thing I have to share tonight, Sean — and this is a bit of breaking news — is that the district court judge in Boston has said he’s going to defy the Supreme Court’s ruling. So expect fireworks tomorrow when we hold this judge accountable for refusing to obey the Supreme Court.”

CA Nurses Cry, “You Need a Warrant!” as ICE Arrests Illegal in Doctor’s Office

/

Illegals: Wherever you go, there ICE is. After the passage of the “Big, Beautiful Bill”, Immigration and Customs Enforcement got a $30 billion budget boost specifically to pay for arresting and deporting illegal aliens. It is impossible to get accurate numbers, but various estimates say that the Biden administration allowed in perhaps 10 million or more illegalsduring the open border of Joe Biden’s presidency.

While leftist mainstream media hyperventilates over the deportation of border jumpers like Kilmar Abrego Garcia, the American public is fed up. A majority of Americans want all illegal aliens deported, not “just the criminals,” even if opinion is divided on how strictly deportation should be carried out. Crossing the border without authorization is actually a crime, despite the media trying to make it seem like it’s no more serious than getting a traffic ticket. 

Tom Homan, President Donald Trump’s “border czar,” has been frank and unapologetic. Unlike the men in Democrat administrations, Homan doesn’t sugar coat his language or soften it. He’s made it clear that anyone, including elected Democrat politicians, who get in the way of immigration enforcement will themselves be arrested.

The stepped-up deportations bring to mind a phrase that leftist Communists made popular on social media within the past few years. Referring to “decolonization,” their word for agitating on behalf of third-world troublemakers who want to return their countries to the squalor that existed before European colonization, the pinkos asked “What did you think decolonization meant? Vibes? Papers? Essays?”

Watching this scene unfold in a surgery center in Ontario, California, one might ask, “What did you think deportation meant?” The video shows ICE officers arresting and hauling illegal aliens out of the medical office while hysterical female staff shout that the officers “need a warrant” to do this. 

That’s not true, of course. Cops don’t “need a warrant” before they arrest trespassers, shoplifters, or people caught in the act of breaking the law. You can watch the arrested men holding onto the wall as if this would stop the cops from carting him out. All the while, female staff are clucking like hens, trying to frustrate the effort to get a man out of the United States who has no business being here in the first place. 

Here’s what X/Twitter users had to say about the scene:

There’s always a few on the side of the bad guys, though:

Diva to Demon: Nancy Mace Causes Dress-Wearing Trans Individual to Drop the Female Act Fast

/

South Carolina Congresswoman Nancy Mace (R) got on the nerves of a transgender-identifying individual, forcing him to drop the female act fast, revealing the fickle nature of the assumed identity.

Mace recorded the showdown at the University of South Carolina during a Turning Point USA event by a conservative youth group led by Charlie Kirk. The cross-dressing individual was offended when Mace used the word “babe” and demanded her apology, forcing her to double down and use the word “tranny.”

“This guy in a dress wanted me to apologize for using the word ‘babe.’ Told him no. That I didn’t care if he was offended,” she posted.

“And then I dropped the word t***s, fast. Look what happened next.”

The biological man was adorned in a flowing orange woman’s dress, a wide-brimmed sun hat, and carried a purse to complete the false look. In a feminine voice, he graciously confronted Mace over the “derogatory” word, but quickly lost his composure and dropped the feminine act.

“Does your husband call you ‘babe’?” the cross-dressing man asked, to which Mace replied: “I’m not married.”

“I would like for you to apologize,” he said. “It is derogatory and…”

“Is tranny derogatory?” Mace interjected.

“Well, yeah,” the pro-trans person replied, with his soprano voice quickly transforming into a heavy bass. 

“Of course it f*****g is,” he blurted.

He frantically grabbed his purse and a nearby potted plant, which he seemingly was ready to throw at her, before security intervened, forcing him to trot away.

Meanwhile, Rep. Mace had a field day with the gender non-conforming individual after the hilarious encounter.

“He went from soprano to bass all in one breath,” Mace quoted her tweet.

“That deep voice came out of nowhere,” she retweeted.

Lately, violence appears to be the default response from those on the left when debates don’t go their way. Various incidents across the country, such as the recent wave of Tesla arson attacks, calls for the assassination of President Trump and Elon Musk, and glorification of the alleged killers, like the UnitedHealth CEO’s alleged assassin, Luigi Mangione, exemplify the left’s obsession with violence. 

Mace has also been previously targeted by the trans community for her continued effort to protect women’s safe spaces from invasion by biological men.

In February, she sponsored the “Protecting Women’s Private Spaces Act,” which aims to prohibit “biological men from using women’s restrooms, locker rooms, and other private, protected facilities on all federal property, including government buildings, national parks, and military installations.”

Her efforts to protect women’s spaces resulted in an attack by a pro-trans man later identified as 33-year-old James McIntyre of Illinois. However, she vowed to press on and not bow to the radical ideology amid increased threats of violence. 

“I was physically accosted at the Capitol tonight by a pro-tr*ns man. One new brace for my wrist and some ice for my arm and it’ll heal just fine.”

“Your trans violence and threats on my life will only make me double down.”

Justice Alito Fires a Scathing Dissent after SCOTUS Blocks Deportation of Venezuelan Alleged Gangbangers

Justice Alito Fires a Scathing Dissent after SCOTUS Blocks Deportation of Venezuelan Alleged Gangbangers

/

The US Supreme Court Justice Samuel Alito has fired off a blistering dissent against the court’s order to halt the Trump administration’s deportation of Venezuelan illegal immigrants under the Alien Enemies Act of 1798 (AEA).

The court had previously allowed the Trump administration to continue deportations under the act on a limited basis with due process. However, the new ruling halted the deportation of all Venezuelan immigrants until the government receives further instructions from the court.

“The Government is directed not to remove any member of the putative class of detainees from the United States until further order of this Court,” the unsigned order stated.

In an unexpected turn of events, conservative justices Justices Brett Kavanaugh and Amy Coney Barrett voted in favor of halting the deportations in a 7-2 ruling. However, Justice Clarence Thomas joined Justice Alito in the fiery dissent.

Meanwhile, Justice Alito questioned the timing of the ruling, which he claims was issued “hastily and prematurely” within eight hours of receiving the notice, “literally in the middle of the night” and without giving lower courts time to sort out the facts of the cases.

“[T]he Court issued unprecedented and legally questionable relief without giving the lower courts a chance to rule, without hearing from the opposing party, within eight hours of receiving the application, with dubious factual support for its order, and without providing any explanation for its order,” he fumed.

“I refused to join the Court’s order because we had no good reason to think that, under the circumstances, issuing an order at midnight was necessary or appropriate,” he continued, adding that “Both the Executive and the Judiciary have an obligation to follow the law.”

The court had intervened after the American Civil Liberties Union (ACLU) filed a request for intervention, claiming that dozens of Venezuelan immigrants, currently numbering about 50, faced an imminent threat of deportation without the opportunity to contest their removal from the country. Law enforcement authorities have linked many of the potential deportees, currently held at the Northern District of Texas’ Bluebonnet Detention Center, with the bloody Venezuelan gang Tren de Aragua (TdA). 

Some had filed an Administrative Procedure Act (APA) complaint in the U.S. District Court for the District of Columbia challenging their removal. Liberal federal Judge James Boasberg ruled in their favor and gave them a temporary restraining order (TRO) preventing their removal.

However, the Trump administration challenged the decision, arguing that it had given them advance notification, allowing them to challenge their detention and deportation by filing habeas claims. SCOTUS agreed with Trump and trashed Boasberg’s restraining order, paving the way for their eventual removal.

Their attorneys subsequently moved to the U.S. District Court for the Northern District of Texas and filed a habeas corpus for all Venezuelans pending deportation. However, Judge James Wesley Hendrix failed to grant them a TRO, and the U.S. Court of Appeals for the Fifth Circuit upheld the decision.

Subsequently, they requested the Supreme Court to intervene, which it did without allowing the Trump administration to defend itself. Nonetheless, it allowed the government to file a response after the ruling, which was no less scathing than Alito’s dissent.

“The government has agreed not to remove, pursuant the AEA, those AEA detainees who do file habeas claims (including the putative class representatives),” the admin stated. 

“This Court should dissolve its current administrative stay and allow the lower courts to address the relevant legal and factual questions in the first instance — including the development of a proper factual record.”

Public School HR Director: Black and Trans Teachers Preferred “No Matter What”

Public School HR Director: Black and Trans Teachers Preferred “No Matter What”

/

An undercover journalist has exposed a California public school HR Director admitting to race-based hiring practices in violation of the state’s and federal laws on discrimination.

An O’Keefe Media Group (OMG) undercover journalist probed Jonathan Ferrer, the HR Director of California’s Summit Public Schools, about the preferred candidate’s race when presented with equally qualified white and black job candidates.

“You get presented with, on equal merits, like a white person or a black person or whatever-,” the journalist asked before the HR Director interrupted him.

 “Yeah, we’re going with the black person,” Ferrer said.

“Yeah, no matter what,” the journalist implied.

“Yeah, no matter what,” the HR Director confirmed.

The Summit Public Schools HR Director added that black applicants and transgender-identifying individuals were preferred. 

However, selecting a candidate solely based on their race, gender, sexual orientation, or similar attributes violates the U.S. Constitution’s Title VII and California’s Fair Employment and Housing Act (FEHA).

“If it’s a person of color, great. If it’s a trans teacher, great. You know?” He stated.

“And I think it’s culturally, we naturally look for those folks,” he added.

When asked if he would hire a Trump supporter or MAGA person, even by accident, the HR Director said they would probably not.

When asked if they would consider hiring a Trump supporter or MAGA person, even unintentionally, the Summit Public Schools HR Director confirmed that it was unlikely.

“You’re hiring MAGA people for staff sometimes, if it just happens?” The journalist further probed.

“I don’t think we would hire them. I don’t think we would,” he replied.

“Oh my God,  I’m talking way too much,” he added.

“I’m feeling so bad. I feel like I’m talking your ear off.”

Additionally, Ferrer is not just an unwilling participant, as he spearheads a DEI program that deals with both students and teachers.

“I lead our DEI efforts in the District, so we have a[n] LGBTQIA+ gender wellness training on Thursday, so I facilitated that.”

OMG’s undercover journalist also asked the Summit Schools HR director if, at certain times, they were looking for “a certain type of person.”

“With the exception, I’ll say what we do look for are, like, dynamics,” Ferrer said. 

He further explained that if a certain department was “all white male,” they may “add a person of color somewhere in the mix” to increase diversity. Although he did not explicitly confirm whether they kept records on racial composition, Ferrer later acknowledged that most teachers were “white females.”

However, Ferrer disclosed they have no DEI quotas, although heartbreakingly, they “have a lot of kids that identify as LGBTQ,” hinting at the potential staggering level of brainwashing.

Nonetheless, he admitted that Summit Public Schools had a DEI questionnaire that would eliminate certain types of candidates, such as conservative candidates.

“We do have DEI questions built into our selection process,” Ferrer said.

“And we have a rubric of, obviously, if they say any of these things, this is not someone who’s answering the question the way we’re aligned to answer the question.”

“So if the candidate or teacher is like, ‘Well, I want to make sure that they [children] learn about conservative values, bla …”

“If they say that during the interview, that’s probably not what we are looking for.”

Meanwhile, Summit Public Schools denies those allegations, saying it was “committed to being an equal opportunity employer” and maintaining a discrimination-free team in accordance with all applicable laws.

“Any allegations of discriminatory conduct or verified misconduct are taken seriously and addressed through established internal procedures,” the school district’s Government Affairs Manager, Valeria Torres, stated.

Still, the HR Director may have said the quiet part out loud — something that is rarely admitted so bluntly in most DEI-oriented institutions.

Meanwhile, O’Keefe Media Group had previously exposed allegations of similar discriminatory practices at casino giant MGM Resorts, after Albie Velarde, the establishment’s Marketing Director in Springfield, MA, said they would “Probably Hire the African American” and “not going to hire them [whites].”
