As first reported at Campus Reform, “The University at Albany (UAlbany), part of the State University of New York (SUNY) system, has continued to fund inclusion-focused projects through its ‘Division of Inclusive Excellence’ office, offering individual grants up to $4,000 for initiatives centered on equity, belonging, and social justice through 2026.”

In other words, they refuse to comply with the executive order from President Trump against DEI.

WOKE remains a major problem on many campuses, with SUNY Albany being one of many.

“The public university’s ‘Inclusive Excellence Transformation Awards’ provide funding for projects designed to promote what the university describes as ‘a campus climate of equity.’”

University materials say the awards support “new or ongoing programs” focused on “historically underrepresented groups,” and advancing “the university’s mission of fostering diverse and inclusive excellence.”

This Woke DEI ideology was rejected by America at the polls, yet despite that, the schools continue in many cases to promote this.

“In 2026, the university selected six projects to receive Inclusive Excellence funding.”

“With grants worth up to $4,000 each, the university could distribute as much as $24,000 through the initiative.”

The university is shown to have directed grant funding to DEI programs such as “addressing inequities in hair care, education, access, and health for people with curly hair types.”

“Other projects include programming related to immigrant experiences, Asian American and Pacific Islander communities, Black literature, and poverty.”

The grants come through their DEI Division of Inclusive Excellence.

“The division also says it provides “professional development for faculty and staff related to cultural competency, civility, equity and inclusion” while supporting the recruitment and retention of underrepresented faculty, staff, and students.”

While they may be smart enough to avoid the DEI label, it is DEI in all but name.

President Trump remains committed to reigning in Wokeness and ending DEI, but sadly, academia in many cases remains committed to Woke and un-American ideology.

Joe Biden got heckled by a protester while speaking at the Maryland Democratic Party’s gala on Saturday night, briefly interrupting his speech and throwing him off. 

As Biden described the history of the Democratic Party and the “story of America” as “a constant push and pull between peril and possibility,” one woman screamed, “Genocide Joe,” sparking chaos in the room.

Loud booes could also be heard as screaming continued. It is unclear how many were involved in the protest and whether the crowd was booing at Biden or the protesters.

Biden looked shocked and confused as he tried to continue his speech.

After the interruption, Biden attempted to recover, slurring through gibberish and ultimately declaring that the Democrats are going to “come out stronger” and win in November.

WATCH:

Biden: I know the Democratic Party. I fought for my whole life. I’m still fighting for it now. That’s why I’m here tonight to support Maryland Democrats. That’s why I travel to South Dakota, South Carolina, Nebraska, Pennsylvania, fighting for Democrats up and down the ballot and all over this country, just like I’ve done my whole life. I know the story of the Democratic Party. I’ve seen it in times of triumph and trouble. Because I’ve lived it, I also know the story of America, like many of you. It’s a constant push and pull between peril and possibility. It’s a battle—

Protester: Genocide Joe!

Biden:  —that’s never truly over. And well look… While I can’t sugarcoat it, these are indeed dark days. Let’s remember, we are one of the only countries in the world that’s come face to face with every crisis we faced stronger than we went into it. Every single time we come out stronger than we went in, time and again throughout our history! We Americans have some of the better [inaudible] of our nature, brought our country back from the brink. I believe with every fiber of my being that with your help, we’re gonna do that again this November.

As The Gateway Pundit reported, it was a rough night for Biden.

After a divisive speech, where he called Trump a “loser,” accused him of “brazen, blatant corruption,” and credited Trump’s renovations of DC to “narcissism,” Biden got lost on stage again!

According to Campus Reform, “The University of California, Los Angeles (UCLA) is offering students a $7,000 stipend through its “Dream Summer” fellowship, a summer program that trains participants in immigrant rights advocacy and social justice activism.”

In other words, UCLA is rewarding illegals for law-breaking.

“The university describes the fellowship as a program that “positions immigrant youth as agents of change within the immigrant rights movement” and “empowers immigrant youth to become the next generation of social justice leaders.”

This program practices discrimination, as has sadly become the norm at many universities.

Woke credentials come before academics at this school.

”We strongly encourage and prioritize applications from undocumented applicants who identify as LGBTQIA+, Black, API, and/or Indigenous, as well as other individuals directly impacted by the immigration system,” the fellowship website states.

In other words, at UCLA, ‘Straight White men need not apply.’

“Fellows receive a $7,000 award, leadership training, professional development opportunities, and access to a nationwide network of social justice activists.”

“UCLA states that the program partners with more than 265 social justice organizations nationwide and receives between 500 and 800 applications annually.”

Sadly, woke ideology and DEI are still very much entrenched in many universities.

Immutable traits are now very important, according to some in academic institutions like UCLA.

”Over the summer, fellows engage in and lead social justice efforts by aligning the call for immigrant rights alongside the unique challenges of queer and transgender communities, Asian and Pacific Islander communities, and Black immigrant communities,” the fellowship website states.

Although the majority of Americans have rejected it,  DEI and wokeness remain a major problem at academic institutions.

Discrimination against any group in academia, including against White people, is un-American and prejudiced.

One can hope the Justice Department will look into this and that such programs, which favor certain ethnic or other groups, will come to an end.

Senator Rick Scott was on “Fox News Sunday” with host Shannon Bream to talk about the SAVE America Act.

Senator Scott has been a supporter of the legislation along with President Trump. The SAVE Act would require proof of US citizenship to register to vote and show ID to cast a ballot in federal elections.

The Senator also talked about Iran and explained that more military action would be needed if they continue attacking the US and its allies.

“Do we continue down that path? Is diplomacy worth it at this point?” Bream asked.

“First off, they have been killing us for 47 years. This President is one of the first ones to have stepped up and said this is going to end, and they are not going to have a nuclear weapon,” Scott said.

“I think we are doing the right thing. We are gonna give them a chance and if not, we are gonna have to continue to bomb them,” Scott continued.

“He doesn’t want to put troops in harm’s way. He doesn’t want to kill people. He has no interest in that, so he is giving them a chance, but if they don’t, they are not going to have a nuclear weapon,” Scott said.

“Do you think the President will get behind what the House passed, that version of the SAVE America Act?” Bream asked.

“Is he willing to compromise maybe on the House version?” Bream asked.

The Senator explained that securing elections was one of President Trump’s top priorities while running for reelection. He also explained that Americans overwhelmingly support the SAVE America Act and want secure elections.

“Well, first off, in the election ’24, Trump ran on securing the elections,” Scott said.

“The President is not doing this because it’s just his idea. He’s listened to what the American public is saying,” Scott continued.

Ambassador Mike Waltz was on “Fox News Sunday” with host Shannon Bream to talk about Iran and the Strait of Hormuz. He explained that President Trump won’t tolerate Iran attempting to control the Strait and attack ships.

“We’ve got Iran’s foreign minister saying that Iran is solely in control and responsible for the Strait, and then you’ve got the IRGC saying, you are not going to transit without coordination with them. So, who is in control of the Strait this morning?” Bream asked.

“If the Iranian regime thinks for a second that President Trump is going to sit by, stand by, while Iran continues to attack international shipping without a response, or our bases without a response, they are sadly mistaken,” Waltz said.

“They saw that loud and clear over the last few nights, where we will continue to militarily, if needed, take down their infrastructure that they are trying to use to illegally control an international waterway,” Waltz continued.

“A UN record. 143 nations have agreed with us that this is in violation of international law. Even the Chinese government has said, you cannot be taking tolls or fees,” Waltz continued.

“They are completely isolated here. President Trump is not going to stand for it. Meanwhile, we continue to move ships out by the dozens every day, and world oil prices are not just stable, they are dropping,” Waltz explained.

“Iran’s attempt to hold the world hostage, and their economies hostage are completely failing,” Waltz continued.

“Are we at that point? When do we get to that point, and what will the consequences be?” Bream asked, reflecting on President Trump’s Truth Social post explaining further military action in Iran.

“The President’s patience isn’t going to last forever. Discussions are ongoing, particularly at a technical level of how to get inspectors in,” Waltz said.

“They need to understand their leverage is diminishing by the day. The Gulf Arabs are creating all kinds of alternatives to the Straits of Hormuz. The UAE is moving oil through its pipeline that its expanding. Saudi Arabia is moving oil through its pipeline that its expanding,” Waltz continued.

Ambassador Waltz explained that Iran may potentially be more worried about the Treasury Secretary because of the leverage he holds to affect Iran’s economy.

“I think the Iranians may be more scared of Scott Bessent, our Treasury Secretary, than they are of Pete Hegseth, our great Secretary of War, because their economy continues to tank,” Waltz continued.

“They would be wise to take a diplomatic solution and back away from this obsession with a nuclear weapon,” Waltz said.

On June 26, 2026, the United States, Israel, and Lebanon signed the Trilateral Framework Agreement in Washington, the first directly negotiated Israel-Lebanon peace framework since 1983, driven by a shared determination to end Iranian interference in both countries. For decades, both countries had been dragged into war by Iran, acting through its terrorist proxy Hezbollah, which undermined Lebanon’s sovereignty, launched attacks on Israel, and exported chaos across the Middle East.

The agreement was reached after multiple rounds of direct negotiations, with both governments declaring their intent to conclusively end the conflict, address its underlying causes, and formally conclude any state of war between them. It establishes a structured process to restore Lebanon’s sovereignty, disarm Hezbollah and dismantle its terrorist infrastructure, and enable Israel to withdraw from Lebanese territory once that threat is removed.

It also creates a trilateral Military Coordination Group for Lebanon, facilitated by the United States. Iran, which the U.S. Treasury confirmed transferred over $1 billion to Hezbollah since January 2025 alone through the IRGC-Quds Force, is directly targeted by the agreement, which commits Lebanon and the U.S. to preventing funds from flowing to any entity, organization, or individual affiliated with non-state armed groups.

Iran provides Hezbollah with an estimated $700 million to $1 billion annually, funding its paramilitary forces, weapons procurement, and social services networks that entrench its political power in Lebanon. Hezbollah’s founder, in a 2016 speech, publicly confirmed that all of the organization’s funding, its salaries, weapons, and missiles, comes directly from Iran.

Under the deal, Israeli forces will begin partially withdrawing from southern Lebanon, pulling out of two pilot zones within the buffer zone, to be replaced by the Lebanese Armed Forces (LAF). Israeli Ambassador Yechiel Leiter stated at the signing that Israel will maintain its buffer zone until the LAF demonstrates it can dismantle Hezbollah and assume security responsibility, adding: “Iran is out, Hezbollah is out, and the road to peace between Israel and Lebanon is in.”

Hezbollah leader Naim Qassem called the agreement a “humiliation,” vowing to keep fighting until Israel withdraws from Lebanon and rejecting any linkage between Israel’s pullout and Hezbollah’s disarmament as a “very dangerous suggestion.” Lawmaker Hassan Fadlallah warned that enforcing the framework would require civil war, pledging that Hezbollah would confront any measure taken by Lebanese authorities and would not surrender its weapons.

That defiance reflects a deeper structural problem. Senior Lebanese officials have consistently prioritized deconfliction with Hezbollah over disarmament, and LAF commanders have reportedly tipped off Hezbollah in advance of patrols and inspections — a practice that has frustrated Israeli and U.S. officials.

Disarmament efforts began in earnest after President Joseph Aoun and Prime Minister Nawaf Salam took office in January 2025. In August, the government directed the LAF to draft a plan for a state monopoly over all weapons in Lebanon. The cabinet formally adopted the resulting five-phase plan, known as Homeland Shield, on September 5, 2025, starting south of the Litani River and proceeding north in stages.

The LAF deployed over 9,000 soldiers south of the Litani for the first time in 40 years, removing nearly 10,000 rockets and 400 missiles by mid-October. LAF commander Rodolphe Haykal declared phase one complete on January 8, 2026. Israel disputed the assessment, alleging that extensive Hezbollah military infrastructure remained, that some LAF units were cooperating with Hezbollah, and that Hezbollah was rearming faster than it was being disarmed.

Phase two, covering the area between the Litani and Awali rivers, was presented to the government on February 16, 2026, with a four-to-eight month timeline. Hezbollah had already made clear it would not disarm north of the Litani under any circumstances. Twelve days later, U.S. and Israeli strikes against Iran rendered the rendered the phase-two timeline moot.

On March 2, Hezbollah entered the war on Iran’s behalf, firing rockets at Israel and collapsing the Homeland Shield process entirely. The Lebanese government formally banned Hezbollah’s military activities and ordered immediate implementation of phase two, but enforcement became impossible.

Hezbollah’s reach into Lebanese state institutions compounds the problem. Following the cabinet’s ban, the LAF arrested 27 individuals allegedly linked to Hezbollah at military checkpoints in March 2026. Hezbollah then pressured the president of the military court to release the detainees and warned against continuing legal proceedings against its operatives. The Military Tribunal released them on bail of $20 (1.9 million Lebanese pounds). The LAF made the arrests; Hezbollah’s judicial network reversed them.

The precedent from May 2008 remains instructive. When the Lebanese government moved to dismantle Hezbollah’s private telecommunications network, Hezbollah responded with a violent takeover of West Beirut. At least 16 people were killed in three days of fighting, and the LAF declined to intervene to prevent a slide into full civil war. Military analysts say direct LAF confrontation with Hezbollah battalions remains unlikely; the realistic ceiling is arrest warrants and raids, not open combat.

The June 26 Trilateral Framework Agreement reasserts the disarmament obligation with U.S. guarantees and a formal peace structure. Whether those guarantees can overcome Hezbollah’s institutional entrenchment, its judicial reach, and its stated refusal to disarm remains the central question.
