Retail mega-giant Amazon has taken action after blatant anti-Semitism was revealed inside its operations.

That's according to a report from the American Center for Law and Justice, which described how a client was attacked and hurt.

The legal team called the actions "a significant victory" against anti-Semitism.

"Our client, an author, received a shocking package from Amazon, as we discussed here previously. Upon opening her order of 10 books (published through Kindle Direct Publishing), our client discovered that the books about her father, a Holocaust survivor, had been blatantly defaced with anti-Semitic hate scrawled in thick black ink across the pages throughout. This deliberate act of harassment was not only personally distressing to our client, but it also represented a direct attack on her faith and Jewish identity. Every copy had been defaced with anti-Semitic slurs and threatening messages like 'Zionism kills Jews' and 'From the River to the Sea Palestine Will be Free.' The statements defaced the personal memoir she had written about her father's experience of the Holocaust," the organization revealed.

The author, not identified in the report, contacted Amazon and originally nothing happened.

But the ACLJ dispatched a demand letter, "calling for accountability and appropriate remedies," the ACLJ said.

The U.S. Department of Justice has gone to the D.C. Court of Appeals to halt an order from a "superjudge" who is preventing President Donald Trump's decision-making and management of the executive branch.

"Superjudge' is a derogatory term that has surfaced to describe those federal judges who take it upon themselves to say that Trump cannot manage the executive branch of our government as he chooses, as the Constitution allows.

It is the Gateway Pundit that explains the fight is over a decision by a Barack Obama judge who told the administration it must restore Gwynne Wilcox to a position on the National Labor Relations Board.

The DOJ's action is a request for an emergency motion halting the ruling from the judge, Beryl Howell, and the judge has been ordered to respond.

"This appeal arises from an order of the district court reinstating a principal officer of the United States whom the President has lawfully fired. The court's unprecedented order works a grave harm to the separation of powers and undermines the President's ability to exercise his authority under the Constitution," the filing explained. "The government seeks a stay of the order pending appeal and respectfully requests an immediate administrative stay."

Howell claimed, in last week's ruling, that Trump's dismissal of the executive branch employee was a violation of the law.

Trump had fired Wilcox from a position as general counsel to the board.

"Trump's decision to fire pro-union members Gwynne Wilcox and the labor board's general counsel Jennifer Abruzzo got pushback from the agency and was described as an 'unprecedented and illegal' move," the report explained.

And Wilcox promised to fight her dismissal.

Howell's opinion shocked many, with its comparison of Trump to a "dictator."

Howell claimed, "A President who touts an image of himself as a 'king' or a 'dictator,' perhaps as his vision of effective leadership, fundamentally misapprehends the role under Article II of the U.S. Constitution. In our constitutional order, the President is tasked to be a conscientious custodian of the law, albeit an energetic one, to take care of effectuating his enumerated duties, including the laws enacted by the Congress and as interpreted by the Judiciary."

Howell claimed the president doesn't have the authority to remove members of the NLRB at will.

Howell cited a 1935 case in claiming Wilcox was protected from dismissal.

That case, known as Humphrey's Executor, does provide some protections for specific individuals, but there also is a movement to see it overturned at a faulty precedent, with Justice Clarence Thomas previously criticizing the standard.

"Humphrey's Executor poses a direct threat to our constitutional structure and, as a result, the liberty of the American people . . . Our tolerance of independent agencies in Humphrey's Executor is an unfortunate example of the Court's failure to apply the Constitution as written. That decision has paved the way for an ever-expanding encroachment on the power of the Executive, contrary to our constitutional design," he said.

Multiple Democrats are pledging allegiance to the U.S. Department of Education after President Donald Trump, as part of his agenda to eliminate waste, fraud and corruption in the federal government, has called for it to be shut down.

In fact, public schools in American are run mostly by local boards following state regulations, but a commentary at Twitchy explained the huge significance of a federal bureaucracy to dictate to schools.

"Local school districts receive only a small fraction of their funding from the federal government—an amount so negligible it would barely be missed if it disappeared. Instead, this money could be redistributed to the states, allowing them to allocate it to schools based on specific needs, such as areas with extreme poverty or a high percentage of students with learning differences. The real reason Democrats champion the Department of Education, however, is that it serves as a tool to promote their Leftist 'woke' agenda," it said.

Senate Minority Leader Chuck Schumer took to social media to insist that Democrats would "fight" Trump's plans, because, "Almost 90% of students in the U.S. attend public school. And every single district will suffer."

But social media suggested that Schumer was far wrong.

Author Michael Shellenberger said, "Closing the Department of Education will hurt kids, say Democrats. The evidence suggests the opposite. The Dept. of Ed. promoted pseudoscientific alternatives to the science of reading & direct instruction of math. The result? A catastrophic decline in student performance."

And at RedState was a response to Schumer: "Total nonsense backed by zero empirical evidence. The Department of Education has produced 'worse' outcomes for students over the years. It's pushed nonsense alternative learning methods that have led to falling test scores and higher rates of illiteracy."

Another pointed out how scores have declined while funding has skyrocketed:

Others openly disputed Schumer's claims, including one who pointed out that the states and local boards "managed to educate children for 200 years before the dept. was established."

President Donald Trump did not mince words Wednesday as he issued a scathing "last warning" to Hamas terrorists still holding hostages taken on Oct. 7, 2023.

"'Shalom Hamas' means Hello and Goodbye – You can choose," Trump wrote on Truth Social.

"Release all of the Hostages now, not later, and immediately return all of the dead bodies of the people you murdered, or it is OVER for you. Only sick and twisted people keep bodies, and you are sick and twisted!

"I am sending Israel everything it needs to finish the job, not a single Hamas member will be safe if you don't do as I say.

A new study published in the Oxford Academic Journal of Sexual Medicine has confirmed the worst for subscribers to the transgender ideology, that men can become women and vice versa through the use of chemicals and surgical mutilations.

It states that the results "demonstrated that those undergoing surgery were at significantly higher risk for depression, anxiety, suicidal ideation, and substance use disorders than those without surgery."

It added, "Males with surgery showed a higher prevalence of depression … and anxiety. Females exhibited similar trends, with elevated depression … and anxiety. Feminizing individuals demonstrated particularly high risk for depression … and substance use disorders."

The results of the study have been explained in a report at RedState.

It explains that even though medical "professionals" who threaten parents that their child, if not given mutilating sex-change surgeries, will lead to suicide, the opposite is true.

"The results of the national database study, published on February 25, revealed that 'transgender individuals face heightened psychological distress, including depression, anxiety, and suicidal ideation, partly due to stigma and lack of gender affirmation,'" the report said.

Analyzed were U.S. patients with gender dysphoria from June 2014 to June 2024.

"Mental health outcomes included depression, anxiety, suicidal ideation, substance use disorder, and body dysmorphic disorder, assessed over two years post-surgery using clinician-verified ICD-10 codes," the report explained the study confirmed. "Body dysmorphic disorder (BDD) was analyzed separately and not conflated with gender dysphoria cohorts to ensure the distinction between these conditions."

Some 107,000 patients' cases were reviewed.

Explained RedState, "Unconscionably, the study's conclusion didn't recommend against 'gender-affirming' surgery, but rather, simply suggested mental-health therapy to attempt to ward off post-surgery mental health issues."

A video posted online by Dr. Maalouf, a social media commenter who routinely posts details about the Muslim influence in the United Kingdom, shows a woman scolding a Muslim man.

It's because he says he is fasting and he, therefore, objects to being able to smell the lunch she has chosen to eat.

"Excuse me. I can smell that. Do you mind eating that somewhere else?" he tells her.

"I'm fasting."

She explains, "That's not my concern."

He continues his rant of entitlement, repeating over and over that he's fasting and she needs to abide by his preferences.

She's blunt, telling him, "I'm eating my lunch." "Yeah, but I can smell it," he responds.

"So what. It's food. Of course you're going to smell it."

On of Dr. Maalouf's previous statements points out that Islam "has massacred over 669 million non-Muslims since 622AD."

Plaintiffs in a lawsuit that focuses on the Mountain West Conference's inclusion of a man on a women's volleyball team say they want the judge hearing the dispute removed from the case for his bias.

The judge preliminarily had ordered the women plaintiffs, three University of Wyoming volleyball players and a handful of other women, to "call a female-identifying transgender person 'she.'"

That ruling from U.S. District Judge Kato Crews shows his bias, and that he's already decided the case, the plaintiffs charge.

A report in the Cowboy State Daily explains the plaintiffs are challenging a decision by the Mountain West Conference and San Jose State to have a man on the SJSU women's volleyball team.

"Blaire Fleming's inclusion on the SJSU team prompted teams to boycott and forfeit games with the Spartans and ended with SJSU taking second place at the conference tournament," the report explained.

The lawsuit charges that the transgender agenda activists in the school and conference violated Title IX which forbids sex discrimination and also the equal protection clause of the Constitution.

A lawyer for the plaintiffs, William Bock III, told the judge regarding the order to refer to the man as "she," that, "This case concerns whether Blaire Fleming is a man or a woman."

The lawyer charged, "An impartial forum cannot exist where the court has so forcefully signaled the court's personal views on sex and gender identity that the court is willing to use its contempt power to enforce those views."

It was a rule the judge created for his own courtroom that commanded people "to use others' preferred pronouns or risk being charged with contempt," the court filing says.

Crews previously has used the incorrect "she" and "her" references to cite Fleming, and the plaintiffs motion points out that that decision, especially requiring others to follow that arbitrarily ideology, indicates "Crews must have made up his mind about the key issue in the case."

The rule, Bock charges, violates free speech rights and is a prior restraint on speech, and Bock noted while the judge may want a courtroom where all feel "welcome and respected," that's not enough to correct its violation of the First Amendment.

Support from leftists for Crews is well-established. He was recommended by Democrats Michael Bennet and John Hickenlooper and nominated by Joe Biden.

He undermined his own qualifications during his nominating hearing when Sen. John Kennedy, R-La., asked him to define a Brady motion, a common tenet in criminal law, and he was unable to do so. He was confirmed over almost unanimous Republican opposition.

That precedent from the Supreme Court requires prosecutors to turn over evidence favorable to a defendant.

He earlier refused to provide relief to female volleyball players who had protested the presence of a male on the San Jose team.

Joe Biden, while in the White House, attacked America's energy in multiple ways: Canceling pipelines, limiting exports, banning exploration and drilling.

The result wasn't hard to predict. Gasoline prices for consumers exploded to as high as $6 and $7 a gallon at times, contributing to the massive inflation Americans suffered under his Democratic regime.

President Donald Trump wants to change that.

Delta Air Lines is coming under severe criticism for doubling down on its push for Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion, or DEI, just days before Monday's spectacular crash involving a Minneapolis-to-Toronto flight that flipped one of its planes upside down during landing.

On Feb. 6, Peter Carter, chief external affairs officer at Delta, said: "We are steadfast in our commitments because we think that they are actually critical to our business."

"Sustainability is about being more efficient in our operations and really DE&I is about talent and that's been our focus."

"The key differentiator at Delta is our people," Carter added, according to Fox5Atlanta.

Among those slamming the airline in harsh terms is comedian Tyler Fischer, a frequent face on the Fox News Channel, who said on X:

"This is from Delta's DEI website. An airline OBSESSED with the race and sexual preferences of their workers. Think the passengers who almost died in Toronto give a flying F*** about if the pilot [has sex with] dudes or the flight attendant's great grandma was a nonbinary Native American?"

"Just land the damn plane right side up. Look at their site it's insane:"

Another commenter noted: "Delta, the epitome of DEI zealotry, now faces the stark reality of their folly. A crash, not of mechanical failure, but of judgment, where diversity trumped skill. The wreckage serves as a stark reminder: competence, not checkboxes, should dictate roles. The cost? People's lives!"

Rep. Maxine Waters, D-Calif., has engaged in rhetoric for many years that often is out of bounds.

Get in their faces, she told supporters years ago about Republican members of the White House then. Make sure they are unwelcome in public places like restaurants and grocery stores. In other words, she was inciting confrontations that could be violent.

She hasn't changed much over the years since.

But now her words have taken on a new tone, one of extreme concern.

About what could be corruption.

In fact, she's put into words the worst nightmare for America's Left.

And it all comes because of President Donald Trump, his Department of Government Efficiency, and his campaign pledge, now actually being pursued by the White House and many federal agencies, to clean up the government, rid it of corruption, fraud and waste, and more.

Her concern, "We don't know what all they have on us."

Social media responses included "Maxine seem a little worried here."

And, "I bet she's concerned about her bank accounts being discovered."

And, "She's awfully worried."

The Gateway Pundit said the situation was Waters saying "the quiet part out loud."

Her comment came during a House Financial Services Committee hearing. She was questioning Federal Reserve Chairman Jerome Powell.

The committee meeting was shortly after Elon Musk, heading the Department of Government Efficiency, announced the government would be looking into very rich "public servants."

"We do find it sort of rather odd that there are quite a few people in the bureaucracy who have essentially a salary of a few hundred thousand dollars but somehow manage to accrue tens of millions of dollars in net worth while they are in that position. We're just curious as to where it came from. Whether they have very good investing in which that case we should take their investment advice perhaps. They seem to be mysteriously getting wealthy, and we don't know why – where did it come from? I think the reality is that they are getting wealthier at the taxpayer's expense," he suggested.

Waters actually isn't ranked among the wealthiest in Congress, but her worth still has been estimated to be in the range of millions, with bank accounts and real estate holdings.
