Cassandra MacDonald, “American Bar Association Suspends DEI Requirements for Law Schools,” Gateway Pundit, Feb. 23, 2025, at https://www.thegatewaypundit.com/2025/02/american-bar-association-suspends-dei-requirements-law-schools/.
The ABA Section of Legal Education and Admissions to the Bar voted during a meeting in San Antonio on Friday to end the requirement until August 31 while it reviews the policy.
The change comes as President Donald Trump has vowed to gut all government programs with DEI policies.
Daniel Thies, chair-elect of the council and co-chair of its Strategic Review Committee, told the ABA Journal that the changes were due to Trump’s executive orders.
“The committee’s view is that with the executive orders and the law being in flux, it would be an extreme hardship for law schools if our standards were to require them to do certain things that may cause them to take more litigation risks and potentially violate the law,” Thies said, according to the ABA Journal.

Jim Hoft, “Zelensky Says $350 Billion in Frozen Russian Assets are “Our Money, Not Ours with Our Partners” – Says $100 Billion Given by Biden to Ukraine Was a ‘Grant and Not a Loan,’” Gateway Pundit,Feb. 23, 2025, at https://www.thegatewaypundit.com/2025/02/zelensky-says-350-billion-frozen-russian-assets-are/.
Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky spoke to a gathering in Kiev on Sunday. The speech took place as President Trump and the Trump White House prepare to meet with Russian President Vladimir Putin to discuss peace negotiations with Ukraine.
Zelensky told the “Ukraine. Year 2025” forum that he was not recognizing any debt to the US.
Via Russia Today.
Speaking at the ‘Ukraine. Year – 2025’ forum in Kiev on Sunday, Zelensky stated that “Ukraine received $100 billion [in aid] from the US, not $350, not $500, not $700,” stressing that he was “not ready to recognize even $100 billion” as debt. He claimed that he had reached an agreement with former US President Joe Biden that the money was being provided as a grant, and that no repayment had been expected.
Zelensky also announced that the frozen $350 billion in Russian assets by the West belong to Ukraine and no one else.
Via The Kiev Post.
Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky said on Sunday that frozen Russian assets should belong solely to Ukraine, not Kyiv’s international partners.
“Frozen Russian assets are our money. It is our money, not shared with our partners,” Zelensky said during a press conference at the “Ukraine. The Year 2025” forum in Kyiv.
Since Russia began its full-scale invasion of Ukraine in 2022, Western countries have used sanctions and other financial mechanisms to freeze between $300 billion and $350 billion of Russian sovereign assets, mostly government bonds held in the EU, the US, and the UK.
It’s unlikely Russia or the West will agree to that.

Maria Herrera Mellado, “Milei announces US-Argentina tariff-free trade deal at CPAC, strengthening economic ties, “Hispanic Gateway Pundit, Feb. 23, 2025, at https://gatewayhispanic.com/2025/02/milei-announces-u-s-argentina-tariff-free/.
Argentine President Javier Milei surprised the conservative world by announcing a tariff-free trade agreement with the United States during his participation in the Conservative Political Action Conference (CPAC).
This deal, presented as a “milestone for free trade,” eliminates tariff barriers between both nations and fulfills Milei’s November 2024 promise to strengthen ties with Donald Trump’s incoming administration. For conservative Hispanics in the US, this step not only symbolizes a victory for the free market but also presents a tangible economic opportunity for Hispanic America.
Boosting Trade and the Economy.
The agreement has the potential to transform trade relations between the US and Argentina. Currently, Argentina imposes an average tariff rate of 22% on imports, according to the US International Trade Administration . By removing these barriers, sectors such as agriculture, manufacturing, and technology could experience significant growth.

On Pope Francis, mentioned here:
Matthew Ward: “During the past year (2021) the Illuminati assassinated … Pope Francis. … The Pope usually is depicted by holography.” (1)
I heard rumors perhaps twenty years ago that there was no gold in Fort Knox. Any gold in there now was brought by Donald Trump when 650 planes carried off the confiscated gold buried beneath the Vatican.

I’m not a religious person, but I see Samaritan’s Purse EVERYWHERE in Western North Carolina.
They have literally been here for 5 months straight helping us and have asked for nothing in return.
Say what you will about religious groups… but they 100% show up when it counts. pic.twitter.com/U4SZMxlM9E
