Hunter Signed Letter to Ukraine Prosecutor to Drop Probe of Burisma

(Luis Cornelio, Headline USA) A newly disclosed letter has exposed Hunter Biden’s direct involvement in pressuring a Ukrainian prosecutor to drop the criminal investigation into Burisma, the infamous gas company he worked for. 

The letter, first released by the House Ways and Means Committee and co-signed by Alan Apter and Aleksander Kwasniewski, both executives at Burisma, was addressed to the prosecutor who replaced Viktor Shokin, the prosecutor who had initiated the investigation into the gas company.

The two-page letter contained a firm demand for the termination of the probe against Burisma. “Moreover it is imperative that allegations of criminal activity made to the media about Burisma and/or Nikolay Zlochevsky come to an end,” the letter stated, highlighting the urgency of their demands.  

“While Burisma will cooperate in the investigation we as Members of the Board of Directors will not be silent in the face of condemnations of Burisma – a company that has not been proven to be engaged in illegal actions,” the document continued. 

Notably, the letter also included a veiled threat, stating, “We, as advisories and fiduciaries, respectfully request that during the term of your investigation that you refrain from any further allegations that the energy sales and services Burisma’s provides to Ukrainian businesses as well as others not be impede in any way.” 

This revelation comes at a critical point in the impeachment inquiry against Biden, who is facing allegations of bribery and corruption. Specifically, the Republican-led inquiry was triggered by accusations that Biden received bribes from Burisma in exchange for using his political influence to shield Burisma from the criminal investigation, as detailed in an FBI informant file.

The letter’s emergence could further fuel speculation surrounding Biden’s role in pressuring then-Ukrainian President Petro Poroshenko to remove former Shokin, who had initiated the investigation into Burisma.

Democrats argue that the newly released Hunter letter shows that Shokin’s ousting was not related to Burisma, as the new prosecutor launched a probe against the company. 

In addition to the bombshell letter, House Ways and Means Committee Chairman Jason Smith, R-Mo., also released over 700 pages of documents related to the criminal investigation against Hunter by the IRS. 

Whistleblowers who participated in the probe alleged that they were barred from further investigating Hunter’s foreign business dealings and other Biden relatives. These whistleblowers subsequently turned to the Ways and Means Committee with their allegations.

Could Newsom Appoint Kamala to Senate, then Take Her Spot?

Could Newsom Appoint Kamala to Senate, then Take Her Spot?

(Luis Cornelio, Headline USA) As California Gov. Gavin Newsom faces mounting pressure to name the late Sen. Dianne Feinstein’s replacement, speculation often runs rampant about who would be chosen. 

Newsom’s promise to appoint a black woman to the position has many pointing to Vice President Kamala Harris as a likely choice, following Feinstein’s passing on Friday.

Commentators are pointing to the potential domino effect that this appointment could trigger, with many arguing it would open the door for a Newsom role ahead of the 2024 presidential election. 

Texas Rep. Matt Schaefer, a Republican, was one of the first to raise the intriguing possibility on Twitter, stating, “Kamala Harris to the Senate. Gavin Newsom to Vice Pres. Biden / Newsom ticket 2024.”

Twitter user Vince Langman chimed in, echoing similar remarks. “I wouldn’t be surprised if Kamala Harris is given Dianne Feinsteins Senate seat, and Gavin Newsom becomes VP,” he said also on Twitter.  

This scenario, Langman alleged “would open the door to kicking Crooked Joe to the curb before the 2024 election which would make Gavin Newsom the Democrat nominee next year.” 

While President Joe Biden has consistently affirmed his commitment to keeping Harris as his running mate despite scathing low polls, some influential donors have reportedly advocated for her ousting. Biden even made a joke, suggesting that Dr. Anthony Fauci could fill her shoes. 

Notably, this would not mark the first time the Biden White House faces the shadow of being replaced. At 81 years old, Biden himself has grappled with rumors that the Democratic Party could implant former First Lady Michelle Obama as the nominee for 2024.

Similarly, Newsom has been mentioned as a potential replacement. Fox News host Sean Hannity recently questioned Newsom about his presidential aspirations during post-GOP debate coverage on Wednesday.

“Yes or no, will you ever, ever accept the Democratic nomination to run for president in 2024 under any circumstances at all? That’s a yes or no,” Hannity asked Newsom. Newsom responded with a resounding “no,” claiming he is throwing his support behind Biden. 

Democratic Reps. Adam Schiff, Katie Porter and Barbara Lee are among the most prominent Democrats running for the California senate seat in 2024. Newsom has long pledged to appoint somebody outside the race. 

“I don’t want to get involved in the primary,” Newsom told a liberal show on NBC News. 

GAME CHANGER: RFK Jr. to Run for President as Independent

GAME CHANGER: RFK Jr. to Run for President as Independent

(Ken Silva, Headline USA) The Kennedys were once considered synonymous with the Democratic Party, but a lot has changed since the days of former President John F. Kennedy and his attorney general brother, Robert Kennedy.

Now, President Kennedy’s nephew and Bobby Kennedy’s son, Robert Kennedy Jr., will reportedly be running in the 2024 presidential election as an independent.

Mediaite broke the story about RFK’s impending announcement Friday, citing an apparent internal campaign text message that publication reviewed.

“Kennedy’s campaign machine is now planning ‘attack ads’ against the Democratic National Committee in order to ‘pave the way’ for his announcement in Philadelphia about running as an independent,” Mediaite reported.

A Kennedy campaign insider reportedly told Mediaite that “Bobby feels that the DNC is changing the rules to exclude his candidacy so an independent run is the only way to go.”

Kennedy has been embraced by conservatives in recent years for his staunch opposition to tyrannical COVID-19 policies, such as lockdowns, mask mandates and vaccine mandates.

He has also joined Republicans in fighting the “censorship-industrial complex”—the network of government and state-sponsored non-profit organizations that pressure tech companies to censor content.

Recent polls have revealed that many Democrat voters would vote for Kennedy Jr. if he ran as an independent in the 2024 presidential election.

One such poll from Rasmussen Reports earlier this month showed that 57% of probable Democrat voters planned to support Biden in the Democratic primary and 25% for Kennedy.

That pull came on the heels of a shocking poll released over the weekend by ABC News that suggested former President Donald Trump may have a 9 point advantage over current President Joe Biden among voters in a head-to-head matchup.

However, many of those surveyed in the Rasmussen poll said they had a favorable view of Kennedy and indicated they would be willing to vote for him should he run against both Biden and Trump.

If Kennedy ran as an independent, 33% of Democrat voters said it was likely they would vote for him; 14% said it was very likely.

“The fact that President Biden is so unpopular that fully a third of Democrats would vote for an independent candidate in the general election underscores the importance of running a fair and competitive primary election,” said a spokesperson for Kennedy’s campaign.

“If the DNC fails to do that, it will likely be saddled with a weak candidate who lacks the popular appeal to defeat the Republicans—whether or not there is a strong third party candidate in the race,” the spokesperson added.

FBI Ordered to Return Hunter Biden’s Laptop to Its Rightful Owner

FBI Ordered to Return Hunter Biden’s Laptop to Its Rightful Owner

(Jacob Bruns, Headline USA) Four years after seizing it, the FBI has been ordered to return Hunter Biden’s infamous laptop—potentially containing numerous damning documents—to its rightful owner,  Delaware computer repairman John Paul Mac Isaac, Just the News reported.

Mac Isaac took legal possession after Biden perplexingly abandoned the equipment at the Wilmington store, known as the Mac Shop, which he was forced to close indefinitely in 2020 following a firestorm of national attention.

Upon discovering what the hard drive contained, Mac Isaac contacted the FBI, but also made a copy for himself. When the agency demanded he hand it over and menacingly discouraged him from talking about it, he eventually reached out to Rudy Giuliani, who was working at the time as then-President Donald Trump’s private attorney.

As part of a legal blitz to deflect blame for his own criminal conduct, Hunter Biden has since sued both Giuliani and Mac Isaac, among others.

Mac Isaac also filed defamation lawsuits against Biden, Rep. Adam Schiff, Politico, CNN and others for making false claims about him.

As part of that ongoing case, working its way through the Superior Court of Delaware, he demanded his property back.

Mac Isaac, the owner of the computer shop, wrote up the subpoena with his team of lawyers, who said that they must have it back in order to defend him from the corporate media.

His lawyers demanded the return of “Apple MacBook Pro Laptop Computer (“MacBook”); Serial Number FVFXC2MMHV29 obtained from John Paul Mac Isaac via grand jury subpoena on December 9, 2019.”

Further, they requested that it be returned along with its “Western Digital (external hard drive) (‘External Hard Drive’); Serial Number WX21A19ATFF3 obtained from John Paul Mac Isaac via grand jury subpoena on December 9, 2019.”

The lawyers also requested that the FBI turn over “any and all documents and communications relating to the authentication” of the laptop and its original hard drive.

Mac Isaac’s case remains pending in Sussex County, Delaware.

Despite stacks of evidence to the contrary, the mainstream media has spent the better part of the past four years trying to undermine the authenticity of the laptop.

With their initial Russia-collusion conspiracy theory debunked, lawyers for the president’s son have since turned to denying the existence of the laptop altogether.

“This is not an admission by Plaintiff that John Paul Mac Isaac (or others) in fact possessed any particular laptop containing electronically stored data belonging to Plaintiff,” Biden’s lawyers wrote in a new lawsuit.

“Rather, Plaintiff simply acknowledges that at some point, Mac Isaac obtained electronically stored data, some of which belonged to Plaintiff.”

Social Media Influencer ‘Meatball’ Charged w/ 8 Crimes after Philly Riot

(Jacob Bruns, Headline USA) Social-media influencer Dayjia Blackwell, who goes by the pseudonym “Meatball,” has reportedly been charged with eight crimes in the wake of the recent Philadelphia, Pennsylvania riots.

The law enforcement publication Law Officer reported Thursday that the riots, led by minority teenagers, were triggered by the dropping of murder charges against a former Philadelphia police officer.

The officer, Mark Dial, shot and killed Eddie Irizarry last month after Irizarry brandished a knife at Dial during a traffic stop.

The crowd reportedly looted and ransacked a liquor store, a Foot Locker, a Lululemon and an Apple store, among others.

And there, filming the whole thing and encouraging the rioters, was “Meatball.”

“Tell the police they’re either gonna lock me up tonight, or it’s gonna get lit, it’s gonna be a movie,” she said while livestreaming the event.

“This is what happens when we don’t get justice in this city,” she continued, filming dozens of people robbing a liquor store.

“Everybody must eat!” she added.

In perhaps the most telling moment of the livestream, Meatball alerted her fellow rioters to the fact that there were “free iPhones” available.

After allegedly partaking in the looting and theft herself, Blackwell, who posted the videos for her 190,000 Instagram followers and nearly half a million TikTok followers, was arrested.

She posted the $25,000 bail soon thereafter, but later took to social media afterwards to describe how she is a “good person,” noting that she was “traumatized” by her experience as a rioter.

“I’ve never been through nothing like that ever in my life, I don’t even know what happened. I need some sleep, I’m scared, I’m traumatized, never again in my life, like seriously,” said Blackwell.

Blackwell has been charged with six felonies and two misdemeanors.

“I am an innocent person, bro,” she claimed, adding, “I’m a businesswoman.”

Despite her

According to interim Police Commissioner John Stanford, the looting picked up a great deal of momentum via social-media influencers like Meatball.

“We were able to link some things on social media,” he said at a press conference.

“We had a group that was making their way through the city. Quite naturally, you have followers who are going to see this and start to come out, and think they have an opportunity to get something.”

6th Circuit Upholds Ban on Sex Changes for Minors in Ky., Tenn.

6th Circuit Upholds Ban on Sex Changes for Minors in Ky., Tenn.

(Molly Bruns, Headline USA) The 6th Circuit Court of Appeals reversed several injunctions stopping bans on gender transitions for kids in the states of Kentucky and Tennessee.

The court made several arguments against the purported “legal right” of transgender individuals to receive sex-change treatments on demand, citing lack of legal definitions and several health risks, according to journalist (and former Tennessee candidate) Robby Starbuck, who posted a lengthy Twitter thread analyzing the decision.

The judges noted that transgender people were not a constitutionally protected class, as gender dysphoria was not “definitively ascertainable at the moment of birth.”

While the condition may, in some cases, be considered a legitimate mental-health disorder that warrants treatment of some kind, it is for many others a lifestyle choice that they opt into, centered largely around their personal sexual fetishes.

Moreover, defendants in the case, who supported banning the procedures, pointed to the considerable health risks and adverse consequences that went along with forcing that decision onto minors who were more vulnerable and susceptible to outside influence.

Despite the lack of defined legal protections, court reasoned that the transgender cause, on the other hand, is far from vulnerable and voiceless given the advocacy it receives from Biden administration—particularly the Department of Justice, along with several states and leftist organizations.

“Fourteen States have passed laws specifically allowing some of the treatments sought here. Twenty States have joined an amicus brief in support of the plaintiffs. The major medical organizations support the plaintiffs,” the opinion read.

“The only large law firms to make an appearance in the case all entered the controversy in support of the plaintiffs,” it continued. “These are not the hallmarks of a skewed and unfair political process.”

The  judges also drew the line between stereotyping and simply noticing biological differences by citing Justice Ruth Bader Ginsburg, an icon of the liberal feminist movement, who once said “biological differences between men and women are enduring.”

The decision also noted several of the health concerns and irreversible consequences that go along with hormone-replacement therapy, sex-change surgeries and other various forms of bodily mutilation.

“Gender-transitioning procedures often employ FDA-approved drugs for non-approved, “off label” uses,” the opinion read.

“Kentucky and Tennessee decided that such off-label use in this area presents unacceptable dangers,” it added. “… [T]he Constitution does not require these two states to view these treatments the same way as the majority of experts or to simply allow the drugs for all uses simply because the FDA approved them for others.”

It pointed out that European countries are pulling away from using drugs, such as Lupron, for sex change surgeries.

The judges concluded by deriding the lower court for granting an injunction in the first place, along with the institutions that make it so easy for minors to get heavily experimental medical treatments.

Ga. RINOs Boot State Sen. Colton Moore from Caucus over Effort to Impeach Fani Willis

Ga. RINOs Boot State Sen. Colton Moore from Caucus over Effort to Impeach Fani Willis

(Headline USA) Georgia’s Republican Senate Caucus is suspending a GOP state senator who criticized them for opposing his plan to impeach Fulton County District Attorney Fani Willis over her partisan lawfare campaign against former President Donald Trump and 18 codefendants who sought to challenge the state’s disputed 2020 election results.

The caucus announced Thursday that it was indefinitely suspending state Sen. Colton Moore of Trenton, who represents a district in Georgia’s northwest corner.

“Sen. Moore has a right to his opinion,” the caucus said in a statement. “However, during his advocacy for his ill-conceived proposal, Sen. Moore has knowingly misled people across Georgia and our nation, causing unnecessary tension and hostility, while putting his caucus colleagues and their families at risk of personal harm,” claimed the group, which has 32 of the Georgia Senate’s 56 members.

Moore slammed his colleagues as fake Republicans disloyal to the party leader and helping carry water for a partisan Democrat agenda intent on keeping Trump out of office.

“The Georgia RINOs responded to my call to fight back against the Trump witch hunts by acting like children and throwing me out of the caucus,” Moore tweeted. “But I’m not going anywhere.”

It’s the latest display of a divide between Gov. Brian Kemp and his allies, on the one hand, and grassroots Trump backers who comprise the majority of Georgia’s Republican Party organization.

After his daughter’s boyfriend, 20-year-old Harrison Deal, died mysteriously in a fiery car crash in December 2020, Kemp suddenly withdrew his support from Trump’s efforts to challenge the election outcome, while insisting that there was nothing suspicious about Deal’s tragic accident and demanding privacy.

Willis has since charged Trump and 18 others, including the former state Republican Party chair, with crimes related to the effort. All have pleaded not guilty.

Moore will still be a member of the Senate and will still be a Republican, but may find it hard to pass legislation without support of the majority caucus. But he already often functioned like a party of one in the body, voting against measures that all other Republicans or all other senators supported.

Moore was the most prominent backer of a special session to impeach and remove Willis or defund her office, winning Trump’s endorsement.

Kemp denounced the call as “some grifter scam” to raise campaign contributions for Moore, in a news conference that was unusually impassioned for the buttoned-up governor.

Kemp called the push “political theater that only inflames the emotions of the moment,” saying a special session “would ignore current Georgia law and directly interfere with the proceedings of a separate but equal branch of government.”

Kemp said he didn’t think Willis had done anything to merit removal.

Moore launched a petition for lawmakers to call themselves into special session, requiring signatures by three-fifths of both houses. That would require some Democratic support because Republicans have a less than 60% majority in each chamber. And the Senate would have required a two-thirds vote to remove Willis after the House impeached her.

Moore never got close to persuading fellow Republicans, much less Democrats, winning the signatures of one Republican House member and one other Republican senator.

However, Moore attacked some other state senators. After Republican state Sens. Bo Hatchett and Shelly Echols issued a joint statement criticizing Moore’s call, they said Moore targeted them for retaliation and they received threats.

The caucus claimed Moore violated internal rules and was suspended by Republican leaders after refusing to follow those rules. The caucus claimed Moore was not being retaliated against for “his wrongheaded policy position.”

Some other Georgia Republicans have freely attacked Willis, including U.S. Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene.

“Fani Willis should be ashamed of herself and she’s going to lose her job. We’ll make sure of that,” Greene told reporters outside the Fulton County Jail, shortly before Trump arrived by motorcade to submit to booking and a mug shot.

Despite Moore getting the boot, some Republican state senators are backing a plan to seek Willis’s removal by a new state prosecutorial oversight commission.

The Prosecuting Attorneys Qualifications Commission is supposed to begin work sometime after Oct. 1, when the state Supreme Court approves its rules. The body was created with the aim of disciplining or removing wayward prosecutors.

Some district attorneys, not including Willis, are already suing to overturn the law, saying it improperly infringes on their authority.

Kemp, while criticizing the timing of the Trump indictment, has said he hasn’t seen any evidence that the commission should discipline or remove Willis.

Army War College Expects 3,600 Casualties Per Day in War with Russia or China

Army War College Expects 3,600 Casualties Per Day in War with Russia or China

(Ken Silva, Headline USA) The latest edition of the U.S. Army War College’s quarterly publication, Parameters, projects that the military would suffer about 3,600 causalities per day in a “large-scale combat operations” with another superpower like Russia or China—proposing a draft to help prepare for such a situation.

At 3,600 casualties per day, war with Russia or China means that the U.S. would surpass the roughly 50,000 casualties from the entire Iraq and Afghanistan wars within two weeks.

The Parameters article warned that the U.S. military is not prepared for such a scenario—citing the recent recruiting crisis as a major reason why.

“The Individual Ready Reserve, which stood at 700,000 in 1973 and 450,000 in 1994, now stands at 76,000,” said the article, written by Army War College professor John Nagl.

“These numbers cannot fill the existing gaps in the active force, let alone any casualty replacement or expansion during a large-scale combat operation.”

Nagl concluded that the U.S. military’s model of an all-volunteer force is outdated. He proposed bringing back the draft.

“Large-scale combat operations troop requirements may well require a reconceptualization of the 1970s and 1980s volunteer force and a move toward partial conscription,” he said.

While a hot war with Russia or China may seem unlikely, the Biden administration has been increasingly flirting with the idea.

As has been widely documented, the U.S. committed an eco-terrorist attack on Russia last year when the Biden administration sabotaged its Nord Stream gas pipelines. U.S. weapons and drone components have also been used on direct attacks perpetrated by Ukraine on Russian soil.

And the Biden administration seems to be ramping up for a similar conflict with China.

In July, the White House announced a $345 million military aid package for Taiwan. A day later, the Washington Postpublished a profile of a four-star Air Force general who is preparing his 110,000 troops for war with China within the next two years.

“I hope I am wrong,” Gen. Michael Minihan said of the possibility of a U.S.-China war. “My gut tells me we will fight in 2025.”

According to the Post, Minihan has told his troops to “get their personal affairs in order” and to “fire a clip into a 7-meter target with the full understanding that unrepentant lethality matters most.”

“Aim for the head” when doing so, the general directed.

STEINHAUER: Ukraine Quagmire Poses Countless Risks and Little Reward for U.S.

STEINHAUER: Ukraine Quagmire Poses Countless Risks and Little Reward for U.S.

(Lee Steinhauer, Headline USA contributor) Just when America had finally escaped the disastrous decades-long wars in Iraq and Afghanistan, it finds itself entangled in yet another one.

This time, the quagmire is in Ukraine—which, after more than a year and a half, has no end in sight and escalates further with each passing day.

In many ways, the Biden administration is still fighting the last war, as if by showing resolve in Ukraine it will be absolved of its humiliating exit from Afghanistan—an ending reminiscent of that other infamous war in Vietnam.

Proponents will also argue that this time is different, and that Ukraine is valiantly fighting for freedom against genocidal Russia. They claim Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy is basically the reincarnation of Winston Churchill, while Russia’s Vladimir Putin is Adolf Hitler—and, if not stopped, the latter will surely embark on a murderous rampage through the Baltics and Europe.

Though no matter how much some would like it to be, not everything is World War II.

Besides, if anything, the better analogy here is World War I, with Ukraine at risk of becoming a new Archduke Franz Ferdinand—the spark that ignites a global conflagration.

Indeed, the conflict, which has been enlarged well beyond all proportions and well beyond that of the two main combatants, is already spurring the creation of a new Axis—with key players being China, Russia, Iran and North Korea.

This also comes at a time when the world is increasingly divided along ideological and geopolitical fault lines, and the war is only widening the fissures.

Indeed, despite what Western propaganda would have us all believe, not everyone in the world supports Ukraine or wants it to win.

To the contrary, many are sympathetic to Russia, whom they see as being unduly punished for the crime of not submitting to the U.S.-led world order and its self-serving decrees.

American imperialism is something those—especially in the developing world and the Global South—have long chafed against, as well.

And it is a narrative that China is keen to advance, especially as Ukraine becomes a proxy war between itself and America in their intensifying battle for the mantle of global leadership.

For its part, China is capitalizing on the turmoil the conflict is causing in the developing world, where food and energy prices have skyrocketed.

Moreover, while much of Western society may view the war in Ukraine as the world’s greatest concern, for the rest this is simply not so—and not only that, but they see their own biggest problems dismissed and neglected in comparison.

Paraphrasing Indian foreign minister Subrahmanyam Jaishankar, who encapsulated the sentiment: the West believes its problems are the world’s problems, but the world’s problems are not necessarily the West’s.

A great many American citizens—watching their own cities and towns crumbling and crime-ridden, and their nation’s borders daily invaded—share a similar sentiment, as do a growing number of Europeans, for that matter.

Additionally, far from ending the war, much of the world sees America and its allies as only prolonging it further, while also making the conflict ever more dangerous.

Western intervention has caused the war to become existential for nuclear armed Russia with its own homeland now directly threatened.

If anything, this has only served to harden Russia’s resolve to win—no matter the consequences.

To that end, Russia is currently mobilizing its entire society and economy for the long war ahead, and recently entered a deal with North Korea for additional weapons and ammunition to replenish its stockpiles.

At the same time, Ukraine’s long awaited, and much heralded counter offensive is stalling badly.

But given the enormous amounts of American prestige and credibility that the Biden administration has now put on the line in Ukraine, how far and how long is America willing to go to ensure a Ukrainian victory?

And at what cost?

American troops on the ground?

And while America is pulled ever deeper into the war, a far greater threat looms, as China rapidly builds up its own military power at an alarming speed and scale.

What happens if China suddenly decides to take Taiwan, as Chinese leader Xi Jinping has vowed to do, and as numerous senior U.S. military commanders have warned.

Can America possibly fight a two-front war and win against both China and Russia?

Is it prepared to do so?

Recently, Polish President Andrzej Duda compared Ukraine to a drowning man who is capable of pulling down with him anyone who tries to help.

If America is not careful, it may be dragged down to the depths by Ukraine as well—along with the rest of the world.

Princeton Launches ‘Drag University’ to Train Students in ‘Art’ of Cross-Dressing

(Molly Bruns, Headline USA) Princeton University, the storied, Ivy League institution, recently launched a “Drag University” program in order to instruct students in the so-called “artform” of drag performance.

The university offered the program through the Gender + Sexuality Resource Center, according to the College Fix.

The curriculum included classes such as the history of drag, sewing courses, choreography, face painting, photoshoots and other courses along similar lines.

Princeton even offered scholarships to the first six applicants accepted into the program, covering all of their costs for clothing, makeup and other apparently necessary class items.

“Sessions will be taught by local drag performers, on campus partners who know their way around machines, and other students,” states an Instagram post advertising the program. “This program is open to undergraduate and graduate students.”

A post shared by Princeton GSRC (@princetongsrc)

The course listed no mandatory prerequisites, mentioned no concern for students’ age and took two semesters for students to complete, according to PJ Media.

Reporters from the College Fix reached out to the school’s media division in an attempt to find out where the money for scholarships originated and how many students had enrolled, but they received no response. However, an online registration form for scholarships said that it had reached its capacity.

The GRSC described itself as “a supportive and inclusive campus community for women, femme, trans, and queer Princetonians through collaborative programming, education, advocacy, and mentorship,” and claimed that they work to resist “sexism, cissexism, heteronormativity and other intersecting forms of oppression on campus and beyond.”

Q’nnections was another GSRC program that aimed to pair LGBT mentors and students together in order to build community.

Princeton charges $83,140 per year.

The university recently fired a tenured professor who voiced concerns about activists on campus.

Professor Joshua Katz called the Princeton Black Justice League “a small terrorist organization” and said he was “embarrassed for” his colleagues who signed a letter stating that “Anti-Blackness is foundational to America.”

The school claimed to have canned him for a relationship with a student that allegedly took place over a decade ago.
