A former professor at the University of Southern Maine Patricia Griffin filed a lawsuit, Griffin v. University of Maine System, University of Southern Maine, Glenn Cummings, on July 14 after being fired in 2021 over the university’s mask mandate.
Griffin, a former professor of marketing, claims that the university fired her after she requested data that would support the university’s mask mandate.
According to the lawsuit, Griffin attended a luncheon in August 2021 remotely that then-President Glenn Cummings attended in person. Griffin claimed that Cummings was not adhering to the mask policy which prompted her to request the data responsible for the policy.
After making her request, Griffin’s classes were removed from the fall 2021 schedule. She was scheduled for a disciplinary hearing on August 27, 2021.
PA, DELAWARE CODIFY UNCONSTUTIONAL MASS MAILER ELECTION LAWS – Delaware recently passed legislation that would make permanent the emergency mass-mailer election provisions of 2020. PA’s State Supreme Court ruled the unaccountable mass-mailer method of election is within the legislature’s power to create, despite it being overtly unconstitutional. In both instances, the DNC was in charge of the decision-making process.

The state Supreme Court has upheld Pennsylvania’s mail ballot law, preserving a popular voting method that passed the legislature with bipartisan support but was later challenged by Republican elected officials.
In its 5-2 decision released Tuesday, the justices rejected the GOP argument that the legislature did not have the power under the state constitution to allow Pennsylvanians to vote by mail without an excuse. The law, known as Act 77 and employed for the first time during the contentious 2020 presidential election, ushered in the most sweeping expansion of voting access in Pennsylvania in decades.
Delaware Allowing Widespread Mail-In Voting Violates Constitution

Delaware’s Legislature used its emergency powers and the excuse of the pandemic to authorize no-excuse mail-in voting for 2020, but now, without bothering to lean on Covid as a crutch, the Democrat-controlled state legislature has passed a law providing for an unlimited right to vote by mail as well as authorizing same-day voter registration. A new lawsuit filed last week, however, seeks to have both laws declared unconstitutional under the Delaware constitution before this year’s midterm elections.
Before the 2020 election, the Delaware General Assembly approved no-excuse mail-in voting, even though Article V, Section 4A of the state constitution expressly provides for absentee voting only where a qualified elector is “unable to appear to cast his or her ballot” “at the regular polling place of the election district,” under limited, enumerated circumstances. Specifically, absentee voting is authorized under the state constitution if an elector cannot vote at…
BIDEN XO ELIMINATES MALE AND FEMALE REALITY FROM SCHOOLS – President Biden’s Executive Order changes Title IX to redefine “sex-based harassment” as including refusing to participate in transgender and non-binary language games. The order will also allow boys and girls to decide on a daily basis what their gender was and what sports team they want to play on.
Biden’s Title IX guidance would force schools to choose between indoctrinating or feeding students
From www.washingtonexaminer.com

Excerpt:
The updated guidance changes the definition of “sex” to include “gender” and “gender identity” and expands the definition of “sex-based harassment” to include any action that prevents a student from participating in an education program or activity “consistent with their gender identity.” This means that government-funded schools and universities will have no choice but to allow boys who identify as girls into girls’ restrooms, locker rooms, and dormitories, teachers will be forced to use preferred pronouns, and fellow students will be expected to accommodate their gender-confused peers’ demands or risk being accused of creating a “hostile environment” within the school.
If a school refuses to abide by these new expectations, the Biden administration has made sure that it will suffer serious consequences. In May, for example, the Department of Agriculture announced that it will apply President Joe Biden’s new Title IX guidance to its National School Lunch Program, which provides funding to schools so they can provide free lunches for low-income students. The USDA instructed that all state agencies and Food and Nutrition Act program operators must “expeditiously review their program discrimination complaint procedures and make any changes necessary to ensure complaints alleging discrimination on the basis of gender identity and sexual orientation are processed and evaluated as complaints of discrimination on the basis of sex.”
NY SCHOOL WANTS CHILDREN TO BECOME RACE POLICE – A NY City Public School, the Lower Manhattan Community Middle School, is indoctrinating its black-majority student body to become racism-reporting agents willing to directly confront the police themselves. The school is using the book “This Book is Anti-Racist” by Tiffany Jewell.
A New York City public school encouraged students as young as 10 years old to keep a list of all the “microaggressions” they witnessed, both at school and in their own families, according to materials from the school’s curriculum reviewed by the Washington Free Beacon. The same students were also asked to list their gender identity—”cisgender,” “nonbinary,” or “trans”—as well as their sexual orientation on a graded worksheet.
The sixth-grade humanities curriculum from Lower Manhattan Community Middle School, where just 31 percent of students are white, required students to read Tiffany Jewell’s This Book Is Anti-Racist, one of only five books assigned for the 2021-2022 year. The book contains 20 lessons on “how to wake up, take action, and do the work”—including the work of confronting the police, which Jewell suggests white students can do without ending up “in jail or harmed.”
CHINA TRYING TO BUY SOLOMON ISLANDS PORT – A Chinese State-Owned Corporation is moving to purchase a deep-water port and World War Two airstrip from the Solomon Islands.

A Chinese state-owned company is negotiating to buy a deep-water port and World War II airstrip in Solomon Islands, as new documents detail how money from Beijing has helped keep the Pacific nation’s controversial leader in power.
As a battle for influence plays out in the region, an investigation by Four Corners has found China is aggressively pursuing economic opportunities across the Solomons to boost Beijing’s strategic interests.
One asset being targeted by China is a hardwood forestry plantation on the island of Kolombangara, which features a protected harbour, deep-water port and an airstrip.
BLACKSTONE WAR CHEST PRIMED TO EXPLOIT REAL ESTATE COLLAPSE – The Real Estate investment giant Blackstone is creating a $30 billion war chest to exploit the coming real estate collapse. If true, it could be the largest “traditional private-equity vehicle in history.” In 2019, it made similar moves ahead of the Covid shutdowns, with a $26 billion fund.
According to the WSJ, Blackstone is the final stages of raising a new real-estate fund that would set a record as the biggest vehicle of its kind, defying market volatility and a crowded landscape for fundraising.
The private-equity giant said in a regulatory filing Wednesday it has closed on commitments totaling $24.1 billion for Blackstone Real Estate Partners X, the latest iteration of its main real-estate fund.
According to the WSJ, Blackstone is committing about $300 million of its own capital and has allocated an additional $5.9 billion to investors, which will bring the fund to $30.3 billion when it is finalized. The firm raised the fund, expected to be the largest traditional private-equity vehicle in history, in just three month. It was also Blackstone that set the prior record, with the $26 billion buyout fund it raised in 2019. The new real-estate fund will be 50% larger than its predecessor, a $20.5 billion pool raised in 2019.

Tesla Lets Three Quarters of its Bitcoin Go – Elon Musk has moved 75 percent of Tesla’s Bitcoin assets over to cash, amounting to nearly $1 billion dollars.

NOOSE TIGHTENS AROUND HUNTER, DRAWING JOE IN – Hunter Biden probably violated a 1938 law requiring Americans acting in the interest of a “foreign principle” register with the US government, something Hunter failed to do. As this emerges, more evidence connects Joe Biden to “The Big Guy” referred to emails that connect Joe directly with Hunter’s “foreign principles.”
Hunter Biden almost certainly broke foreign lobbying laws: experts

Hunter Biden failed to register as a foreign agent during years of overseas business dealings — a possible crime that could finally land him in prison, experts say.
While Biden registered as a lobbyist for domestic interests (a gig which so annoyed President Obama that Biden was forced to drop it in 2008), he never registered under the federal Foreign Agents Registration Act (FARA).
The 1938 law has in recent years been employed to shine a light on foreign advocacy and lobbying in the US. It mandates individuals acting as “an agent, representative, employee, or servant … at the order, request, or under the direction or control of a ‘foreign principal,’” must register with the US government. Failing to do so is a crime punishable by up to five years in federal prison and a $250,000 fine.
“Foreign principal” is broadly defined, and can include government officials, foreign corporations, political organizations, influential private…

A text exchange from 2020 involving one of Hunter Biden’s former business partners, James Gilliar, confirms years of speculation about the identity of “the Big Guy,” the New York Post reports.
In an earlier email from 2017, Gilliar outlined the breakdown of profits from a Chinese deal involving Hunter, the president’s brother Jim and a 10% cut for “the Big Guy.”
We’re talking about politically charged deals involving people who want something from a vice president Joe Biden and certainly want something now from a President Biden,” said Peter Schweizer, president of the Government Accountability Institute.
The president has repeatedly denied any knowledge or involvement in Hunter’s overseas deals. Mounting evidence from Hunter’s laptop and phones suggest otherwise.
