A Democrat lawmaker is getting skewered for making a 'racist' joke about South Dakota Gov. Kristi Noem and North Korean dictator Kim Jong Un. Rep. Jared Moskowitz, D-Fla., circulated a video of Noem on Monday writing, 'Why am I getting the feeling that she wanted to eat dog with Kim Jong Un,' before later deleting the post from X. Recently, the South Dakota Governor has caught flak for excerpts from her new book detailing how she shot and killed her dog and another saying that she met with Kim Jon Un. But Moskowitz's attempt at humor infuriated some, including Korean-American Rep. Michelle Steel, R-Calif., who called the post 'racist.' 'There is no excuse for racist stereotyping - especially by a Member of Congress,' she posted in response to Moskowitz. 'I've experienced this kind of discrimination firsthand. So have many of my constituents. It must not be tolerated.'

Hundreds of millions of millions in humanitarian assistance for Palestinians are now distributed by the United States. Former President Donald Trump's decision to cut Palestinian assistance is a departure from former President Obama's who axed Palestinian assistance. This is commonsense.' In a statement, Steel said that not a single American taxpayer dollar should be sent to the Palestinian Authority until we have utter assurance that it will never allow an evil like this to happen again. In exchange for assistance, the Palestinian Authority would have to acknowledge Israel's right to exist as a sovereign Jewish state, ban Hamas from any government position, and condemn terrorism.

The Supreme Court has suspended the use of ethnicity as a factor in college admissions. The justices ruled in a 6-3 decision on Thursday that Harvard University and the University of North Carolina's race-based affirmative action admissions are unconstitutional. Both programs lack sufficiently targeted and measurable goals to support the use of race, unavoidably use race in a negative manner, require racial stereotyping, and lack common end points,' according to Chief Justice Roberts' majority opinion.

For the first time as he spoke out against racial profiling he claims he suffered, an Asian-American teenager who could help end affirmative action was captured. Jonathan Wang, 18, achieved a 1590 on his SAT and a 4.65 high school grade point average, but six top schools refused him. He is one of the plaintiffs in a Supreme Court lawsuit aiming to end the procedure after being found to discriminate against high-performing Asian Americans. The Supreme Court announced in January that it would hear protests from anti-affirmative action group Students For Fair Admissions, which claims that Harvard University, a private university, and the University of North Carolina, a state school, discriminate against Asian American applicants. According to the lawsuits, affirmative action - policies that are designed to help members of historically marginalized groups - gives an edge to African Americans, Hispanics, and Native Americans over Asian students. A move against the schools could result in the demise of the program and the complete disregard of race in college admissions. Wang has sued a public and private college in the hopes of seeing the procedure be outlawed at all universities around the country.

A coalition of House Republicans is supporting legislation to outlaw 'discrimination' and "preferential care' in federal contracting, with provisions affecting states and universities. It would prevent the feds from granting a preference to "any individual or group based on whole or in part on race, color, or national origin.' Rep. Tom Tiffany, along with Rep. Byron Donalds of Florida, Rep. Burgess Owens of Utah, and Rep. Michelle Steel and Florida sponsor the bill.

Republicans are chastising after the IRS warned Americans that they will have to reveal their $600 transactions on Venmo and PayPal to the IRS. The American Rescue Plan, which the Biden administration said, mandates taxpayers contribute to their 1099-K 'gross payments for commodities or services that exceed $600.' The IRS sent an informant on Tuesday that the reporting threshold for 1099-K forms would be reduced from $20,000 to $600. It has decreased the number of transactions that resulted in receiving a form from 200 to 1. The change affects payments on third-party processors like Venmo or Pay Pal, and it's for services such as part-time employment, side-jobs, or selling products.

Republicans are expected to retake the House of Representatives with a slew of candidates benefiting from newly redrawn legislative maps and voters' dissatisfaction with the economy as of Sunday. According to RealClearPolitics' poll results, the GOP is expected to have at least 228 seats following Tuesday's election, while Democrats are expected to win 174. Just 33 seats have been classified as toss-ups, implying that if Democrats win every single one but that they will still fall short of the 218 seats needed for a majority.

Although the Senate is more of a toss-up, the Republican Party is also expected to retake the House of Representatives with a slew of candidates benefited from newly redrawn congressional maps. Both Democrats now have slim majorities. House Republican leaders unveiled a redesigned national platform called 'Commitment to America,' in an attempt to energize their base.' For a majority, at least 218 House representatives are required. According to a series of reports, Republicans are likely to gain ground in November, though the lead has dropped in recent weeks after the Supreme Court reversed Roe v. Wade and Biden's fiery new strategy of attacking portions of the GOP as 'extremists.'
