Making & taking a stand!Judicial Tyranny vs. the Rule of Law
The Framers rejected the idea that the courts should be the final arbiters of the law or the Constitution. Judicial review, as we now know it, was not granted in the Constitution. The concept was discussed, and rejected on the floor of debate.
SCOTUS
“You seem...to consider the judges as the ultimate arbiters of all constitutional questions; a very dangerous doctrine indeed, and one which would place us under the despotism of an oligarchyOur judges are as honest as other men, and not more so...and their power [is] the more dangerous, as they are in office for life and not responsible, as the other functionaries are, to the elective control…The Constitution has erected no such single tribunal, knowing that to whatever hands confided, with corruptions of time and party, its members would become despots.”Going to get your voter ID......

Experts are already sounding the alarm: If the SAVE Act passes, requiring voters to show ID at the polls, Rection could very well be the only woman casting a ballot in the upcoming midterms. “This is a catastrophe for democracy,” warned Democratic strategist and professional pearl-clutcher, Wilma Dikfit. “Women simply can’t be expected to handle something as insurmountable as getting an ID. What next? Asking them to tie their own shoelaces? It’s voter suppression on steroids!”
Critics of the SAVE Act, mostly blue-haired activists and cable news pundits, insist that mandating photo ID is akin to building an invisible force field around polling places that only repels the fairer sex. “Women have jobs, families, and Netflix queues—how on earth are they supposed to squeeze in a trip to get an ID?” lamented one anonymous source, who apparently forgot that millions of women already have driver’s licenses, passports, and even those fancy Costco cards that require a photo.
But Rection, now a national hero (or villain, depending on your Twitter feed), begs to differ. “If I can do it, any woman can,” she said, flexing her newly minted ID like a trophy. “Heck, I even renewed my library card on the same day. Ladies, rise up—against the nonsense that we’re too helpless to function in the real world!”
As the midterms approach, TDS News will continue monitoring this developing story. Will more women defy the odds and obtain IDs? Or will polling places become ghost towns echoing with the faint sobs of disenfranchised damsels? Stay tuned—and remember, folks, satire is the best disinfectant for political absurdity.
After his firing, Novant Health promoted two of Duvall’s deputies, a White woman and a Black woman, to take over his duties while it conducted a search for his successor. A Black woman was appointed to permanently replace him.
Duvall sued in federal court in November 2019, alleging he was let go because of a push to diversify the leadership ranks.
At trial two years later, Duvall presented evidence he received strong performance reviews and gained national recognition for the marketing program he developed for Novant Health. His manager testified he had seven White men as direct reports at the start of 2018 but none by the time of the trial.
His former employer said Duvall was terminated for performance issues, including walking off stage while giving a public presentation. Novant Health said he was given a job coach and more public speaking opportunities but Duvall delegated those.
The jury sided with Duvall. A federal appeals court later upheld the $4.8 million award in 2024.
Duvall’s was a bellwether case that put the spotlight on high-profile lawsuits in which White men accuse their employers of racial bias, claiming they were dismissed or denied opportunities so companies could make room for more women and people of color through diversity, equity and inclusion programs.
Legal experts say the ruling was an early shot across the bow for diversity initiatives that are exclusive rather than inclusive.
Even though men – and White men in particular – dominate corporate America, these cases have ramped up as anti-DEI activists and the Trump administration target corporate diversity efforts.
While statistically rare, research shows that White men still file discrimination claims, just at a lower rate than other groups.
White workers make up about two-thirds of the U.S. workforce but only account for about 10% of all race discrimination claims, according to data USA TODAY obtained in 2023 from the Equal Employment Opportunity Commission. A study from the Center for Employment Equity at the University of Massachusetts found that White men filed about 9% of race discrimination claims from 2012 to 2016.Trump targets White discrimination
The view that “unlawful” and “woke” DEI policis have harmed White Americans – and White men in eparticular – was central to President Donald Trump’s presidential campaign and now his second term in office.
The Trump administration has urged White men to come forward with bias complaints, upending decades of civil rights policy that once prioritized the rights of women and people of color.
The EEOC had made this DEI enforcement a top priority. The agency charged with fighting workplace discrimination is investigating Nike’s diversity policies for allegedly discriminating against White employees and it sued a Coca-Cola Co. distributor for allegedly discriminating against male employees by organizing a women-only retreat.
Signaling that the commission is poised to pursue more enforcement actions, EEOC chair Andrea Lucas warned Fortune 500 leaders that the Trump administration will not tolerate "discrimination against certain races or groups."
"All citizens are entitled to equal treatment under law and therefore should have equality of opportunity in every sector of our society, including the workplace," she wrote in a letter in February.
Reverse discrimination’ claims increase
Even before Trump took office, “reverse discrimination” lawsuits were on the upswing. Now lawyers predict the Trump administration’s enforcement efforts will spur even more bias complaints from White men.
In June, the Supreme Court made those lawsuits easier to bring, unanimously ruling that antidiscrimination laws apply equally to everyone regardless of race or gender.
"Discrimination is unlawful whether the victim is Black, White, male or female," Nick Barry, senior counsel at the advocacy group America First Legal, told USA TODAY. "Many have hesitated to come forward because they feared retaliation or backlash. But the tide is finally turning and momentum is building around the simple principle that merit, not race or sex, must govern workplace decisions."
A white man sued for discrimination. 50 years later, the nation is still divided.
Steven Miller, a senior portfolio manager, recently sued Bausch + Lomb and his billionaire employer Carl Icahn, alleging he was denied a board seat because he is White.
According to the complaint filed in December in a Miami federal court, Bausch + Lomb required one of the two board directors nominated by Icahn Capital to be “diverse,” meaning non-White.
Bausch + Lomb and Icahn Enterprises did not respond to a request for comment.
“Undoubtedly, employers will soon experience the impact of this messaging,” Charles Plumb, a lawyer with the McAfee & Taft law firm in Oklahoma, said. “We should anticipate an uptick in reverse employment discrimination investigations by federal agencies and lawsuits brought against employers.”
Bias claims face tough hurdles, long odds
Like those brought by women and people of color, these discrimination lawsuits face tough hurdles and long odds, but some White workers have had success in court.
A New Jersey jury awarded $1.3 million to two White educators who alleged they were passed over for vice principal posts at Newark high schools for younger and less experienced candidates of color. Starbucks was ordered to pay $25 million to Shannon Phillips, a regional director who claimed she was fired for being White.
“Sadly, it is with the slimmest of odds that employees get their day in court, let alone prevail,” Duvall told USA TODAY in an email in 2024.
Trump wants to end affirmative action. Here’s how he plans to do it.
“I hope my nearly six-year journey is helpful to others who lose their livelihood unfairly,” he wrote.
His lawyer, Luke Largess, said Duvall didn’t set out to become the face of the anti-DEI movement. He supported Novant Health’s diversity efforts during his tenure there, Largess said.
Novant Health told USA TODAY in a statement that ensuring equal employment opportunities "is a foundational aspect of Novant Health’s culture and we continue to vehemently disagree with the finding of liability."
For Duvall, standing up for himself in court came at a steep price. He told USA TODAY the litigation caused “immeasurable damage to my employment, my professional reputation and my career.”
After Novant, Duvall landed a job that paid more and included a signing bonus. He was fired not long after he filed his discrimination lawsuit in November 2019.
Even so, headhunters contacted him with interest from four employers. His phone stopped ringing when Duvall informed them about the lawsuit.
Today, the high-powered marketing executive works as a consultant.

PRESIDENT DONALD J. TRUMP
Khamenei, one of the most evil people in History, is dead. This is not only Justice for the people of Iran, but for all Great Americans, and those people from many Countries throughout the World, that have been killed or mutilated by Khamenei and his gang of bloodthirsty THUGS. He was unable to avoid our Intelligence and Highly Sophisticated Tracking Systems and, working closely with Israel, there was not a thing he, or the other leaders that have been killed along with him, could do. This is the single greatest chance for the Iranian people to take back their Country. We are hearing that many of their IRGC, Military, and other Security and Police Forces, no longer want to fight, and are looking for Immunity from us. As I said last night, “Now they can have Immunity, later they only get Death!” Hopefully, the IRGC and Police will peacefully merge with the Iranian Patriots, and work together as a unit to bring back the Country to the Greatness it deserves. That process should soon be starting in that, not only the death of Khamenei but the Country has been, in only one day, very much destroyed and, even, obliterated. The heavy and pinpoint bombing, however, will continue, uninterrupted throughout the week or, as long as necessary to achieve our objective of PEACE THROUGHOUT THE MIDDLE EAST AND, INDEED, THE WORLD!Lunacy: You Won’t Believe What Eric Swalwell Wants To Do To Trump’s Ballroom
The meltdown over President Donald Trump’s new White House ballroom has been nothing short of spectacular. From Hillary Clinton to Senate Minority Leader Chuck Schumer, the usual suspects are losing their minds in a full-blown case of Trump Derangement Syndrome.
They couldn’t care less about the practical need for the new space or the fact that past presidents have carried out plenty of renovations to the White House complex. None of that matters to them. What matters is finding yet another excuse to attack Trump — no matter how trivial or hypocritical it makes them look.
I figured Hillary Clinton’s reaction would take the cake, considering how much damage her family’s legacy did to the White House. But apparently, Rep. Eric Swalwell (D-CA) is determined to outdo her. He’s now suggesting that every 2028 Democratic presidential hopeful should make it a campaign pledge to tear down Trump’s ballroom — as if that’s some grand act of resistance:
So let’s get this straight — Eric Swalwell wants Democrats to run on demolishing something the country got for free. A ballroom, no less, that even the Washington Post editorial board admitted was necessary — and that Biden and Obama officials quietly agreed was long overdue. Please, by all means, make that your campaign platform. It’ll be just like 2020 all over again, when every Democrat on stage — including Joe Biden and Kamala Harris — proudly raised their hands to promise taxpayer-funded health care for illegal immigrants.
Go ahead, make that the hill to die on, you lunatics. Make it just like that infamous 2020 debate moment. You know, the one where every Democrat on stage raised their hand to support free health care for illegal immigrants:
Let them all line up again and pledge to tear down Trump’s ballroom. It’ll haunt them the same way that clip still does. And let’s not forget who was standing all the way on the right that night, nodding along to the nonsense.
So what’s the plan this time? Waste taxpayer money to rebuild a smaller office space that doesn’t even meet the White House’s needs — just so they can virtue-signal about “undoing Trump”? And here’s the kicker: wouldn’t tearing down a part of the White House itself be considered “destroying history,” which they claim is some unforgivable sin?
This is where the Democratic Party is now — obsessed with symbolism, detached from reality, and laser-focused on petty vendettas instead of actual governance. While the country faces a looming Schumer Shutdown, this is what they’re prioritizing: tantrums over a ballroom.
After getting hammered with well-deserved backlash, Swalwell quickly backpedaled on his grand “tear it down” crusade. In classic Democrat fashion, he didn’t admit it was a dumb idea — he just tried to rebrand it. Now, he’s calling for the ballroom to be renamed after Barack Obama, following a suggestion from Sen. Ruben Gallego (D-Ariz.).
Wait a second — wasn’t the ballroom supposed to be an unspeakable abomination that had to be torn down brick by brick? Now suddenly, it’s fine as long as it’s named after Barack Obama? So slapping his name on it magically transforms it from a symbol of corruption into a national treasure? Give me a break.
Only in Democrat logic does accepting private donations for a public project equal “corruption,” while bleeding taxpayers dry or sending billions overseas to Ukraine is somehow “responsible governance.”
They’ve officially lost the plot — and maybe their minds along with it.
