Texas orders unauthorized Dallas Muslim university to cease operations immediately |

  The Post Millennial   

"I directed the Texas Higher Education Coordinating Board to issue a Cease & Desist to "TexAM," an unauthorized Islamic educational institution operating illegally in Texas." Gov. Greg Abbott 

The Islamic Seminary of America; Richardson, TX

 'The Texas Higher Education Coordinating Board has ordered that the “Texas American Muslim University at Dallas” immediately cease operations, saying it has been illegally offering higher education programs in Texas without state authorization."The “TexAM University at Dallas” or “Texas American Muslim University” (TexAM) has been marketing itself as a new university for Muslim students. The institution has been claiming to offer STEM programs alongside mandatory Islamic studies.

"According to a letter sent by the coordinating board, TexAM has never received the required Certificate of Authority from the state to operate or grant degrees in Texas under Chapter 61 of the Texas Education Code.

“TexAM has never been granted a Certificate of Authority to operate in Texas; therefore, TexAM is prohibited by law from granting or offering to grant degrees. A person or entity’s non-compliance with Chapter 61, Subchapter G, subjects them to criminal punishment, administrative penalties, and liability for civil penalties and injunctive relief (Tex. Educ. Code § 61.316-319). Furthermore, non-compliance is a violation of the Texas Deceptive Trade Practices Act and subjects the person or entity to the criminal and civil liability imposed under that act (Tex. Educ. Code § 61.320),” the letter stated.

“ 'Additionally, the use of a protected term such as ‘university’ without a certificate of authority is a violation of section 61.313 of the Texas Education Code. Such a violation subjects a person to criminal liability.

"'TexAM’s advertising and postings via its website indicate that your entity publicly holds itself out as offering in the State of Texas STEM degree programs, including a master’s degree in Artificial Intelligence and admissions to bachelor’s degree programs in computer science, IT, cybersecurity, and health informatics. TexAM, and all related entities, must immediately cease advertising, offering, and enrolling students in degrees or programs of study until it has applied for and been granted a Certificate of Authority. You must also cease and desist from using any protected terms immediately,” the letter added." . . . More...

Donald Trump Jr: The Candidate No One Is Talking About

 The American Conservative  

"In the end, the question facing MAGA is not simply who can carry Trump’s agenda forward, but who can embody the man himself. If the answer is rooted less in policy than in identity, loyalty, and instinct, then Donald Trump Jr. is much more than a dark horse. He is a logical extension. And in a primary likely to be defined by Trump, that proximity may matter more than anything else."

Willing to place his life at risk...literally

"It’s been an interesting 2026, to say the least. The Iran War, which is exposing ideological divisions within MAGA, has brought the American right to an inflection point. A movement that once prided itself on rejecting foreign entanglements is now grappling with their familiar logic. For supporters, that tension raises an uncomfortable question. Was MAGA ever a coherent political doctrine, or was it always something more flexible and more personal?

"That distinction matters because it shapes what, and who, comes next. If MAGA is defined more by proximity to President Donald Trump than by principles, succession becomes a question of loyalty, not policy. In that world, the next standard-bearer isn’t the most consistent or experienced but whoever can inherit Trump’s connection to his base. And that is why the most overlooked potential candidate in the 2028 Republican primary field may also be the most obvious: Donald Trump Jr.

"The odds-on-favorite, however, is not Don Jr. It’s Vice President J.D. Vance. Seen as the heir apparent, Vance has recently been criticized for remaining silent as the Trump administration’s policy decisions drift from campaign promises. More concerning, Vance has been largely absent from social media during the Iran War. By staying quiet, he’s largely sidestepped his loudest critics on X. That caution may preserve his frontrunner status, but it also exposes a weakness. 

"In a movement driven by confrontation and authenticity, absence reads less like discipline and more like detachment. Nevertheless, Vance has maintained his status as the clear-cut favorite, earning a 48 percent chance to secure the Republican presidential nominee based on the latest Harvard/Harris poll published on April 26. He also holds the lead on prediction markets such as Polymarket and Kalshi, well ahead of the next contender, Secretary of State Marco Rubio.

"Rubio is an intriguing prospect in his own right. Having previously run for president, there is little doubt that Little Marco would jump at the chance to lead the Republican ticket despite public proclamations that the pair have no interest in squaring off against one another. One thing Rubio has going for him is that he has won the admiration of Trump, a surprising turnabout after Trump once mocked the former Florida senator on the campaign trail in 2016. But that’s long in the past now. These days, Rubio looks more like Trump’s right-hand man than Vance does.

"When Trump attends UFC events, it’s usually Rubio by his side. When Trump made an appearance at the College Football National Championship in January, it was Rubio smiling with Trump in the press box. Most strikingly, on the first night of the Iran War, Vance and National Intelligence Director Tulsi Gabbard were in a Washington, DC situation room. Rubio, by contrast, was seated next to Trump in a makeshift command center at Mar-a-Lago.

"All of which explains why Rubio’s stock, which once appeared nonexistent, has shot up in the betting markets and also in recent polling data. And though Trump could put the entire question to bed with a single Truth post, the president has remained coy when asked who should lead the ticket in 2028, arguing that either man would make a fine candidate. Trump’s reluctance partly reflects his stated (if joking) interest in running again, encouraged by allies such as Steve Bannon. More likely, Trump hasn’t chosen a successor because the pick will define his legacy. Getting the pick wrong could render MAGA a flash-in-the-pan movement instead of the historical upheaval that he and his supporters view it to be." . . .More...

PSST: WE ONLY BELIEVE RAPE HOAXES AGAINST MEN -

  Ann Coulter  

"When Christine Blasey Ford tried to torpedo Brett Kavanaugh’s 2018 nomination to the Supreme Court by claiming he’d raped her 35 years earlier at an unspecified high school party, on an unspecified date, all of liberal America stood and applauded."

"Whatever his position on transgenders, Chirayu Rana, the Indian who claims a female executive at JPMorgan made him her “sex slave,” must be wishing he could change his gender right about now. No sooner had he filed a sexual harassment complaint against Lorna Hajdini, than the media tore him to shreds.

"This is something new. The media have believed way more laughable stories than his.

"In fact, we seem to be living through the Golden Age of women being canonized for falsely accusing men of rape, specifically white men — white lacrosse players, white military contractors, a white guy at Columbia University, white frat boys at the University of Virginia, and a white appellate court judge. (Duke lacrosse, Jamie Leigh Jones, Rolling Stone’s fraternity gang rape, Mattress Girl, Judge Brett Kavanaugh.)

"Today’s hoax rape trend kicked off in 2006, when a black stripper claimed that white members of the Duke lacrosse team had gang-raped her. The media, the professorate and the Democratic Party yipped for joy. This was just the story they’d been waiting for!

Kamala and Booker laugh at Kavanaugh

"Newsweek instantly slapped mugshots of the accused on its cover. Time magazine ran an article titled “Fraternity of Silence,” claiming — falsely — that the players had “formed a Blue line of sorts and stayed mum.” (The article was written by Sean Gregory, who remains a sports correspondent at Time.)                            "Even after it was known that none of the lacrosse players’ DNA matched that found on the accuser, Time was still droning on about the “classic American sex story: the pretty female slave being summoned up to the big house to sexually satisfy the master.” (Author: Jeninne Lee-St.John, currently editor-in-chief, Travel + Leisure, Southeast Asia.)

"Until the bitter end, The New York Times sourced all its information to the prosecutor, Mike Nifong; the lead investigator, Sgt. Mark Gottlieb; and the stripper herself, Crystal Mangum. The paper only began to have doubts around the time Nifong was disbarred and jailed, Gottlieb was forced to quit and committed suicide; and Magnum stabbed her boyfriend to death. (That’s a dinner party!)

"Say, aren’t there any executives at JPMorgan who played lacrosse at Duke? Perhaps it would have been wiser if Rana had accused one of those guys.

"Naysayers scoff at his allegation that he was drugged with Rohypnol and Viagra before being raped.

"The media aren’t usually so untrusting. In 2008, the Times put on its front page Jamie Leigh Jones’s story about being drugged with Rohypnol, beaten and gang-raped while working for a military contractor in Iraq. Adding to her credibility, she said that, in retaliation for reporting the rape, the contractor locked her in a shipping container guarded by men with machine guns, with no food or water, for 24 hours. (Did they think she’d never go home and tell people?)" . . .More...

Democrats are now the 'party of evil' By the late Michael Reagan, 2018; quoting Tucker Carlson back when he was Tucker Carlson. TD  

. . . "Tucker Carlson, who said the mindless anti-Kavanaugh protesters banging on the Supreme Court’s doors reminded him of zombies from the Netflix series “The Walking Dead,” correctly called them a “mob.”

"But CNN and their liberal ilk disagreed."As far as they are concerned, only right-wingers can become a dangerous mob — like the angry Tea Party activists who showed up and shouted at political meetings back in 2010."Creepy Antifa kids disrupting traffic and harassing old folks in Portland? Gangs of progressive screamers showing up in restaurants to publicly harass Republican officials or politicians? The left-wing media say they are not really “mobs.'” . . .
