Who'd a thunk that Biden's race and gender based aid is illegal?

Judges halt race, gender priority for restaurant grants
The New York Times
Lawsuits brought by white business owners challenging a policy that prioritized applicants for pandemic relief grants on the basis of gender and race have thrown the federal government's Restaurant Revitalization Fund into turmoil.
"The Biden administration has inflicted needless pain and suffering on countless Americans through its deplorable and unconstitutional scheme that sent restaurant owners - on the basis of their race - to the back of the line for a limited pool of funds," Miller said in a statement.

I'd make my normal statement about "anyone with a working brain" would know this was illegal, but...

MLK quote... he must be rolling in his grave that we have racist at the top level of government.

I hope we learn from this before it is too late
North Korean Defector After Attending Ivy League School: Even North Korea Was ‘Not This Nuts’
By Paul Bois
Jun 14, 2021
Famed North Korean defector Yeonmi Park offered a chilling account of her time at Columbia University, saying that not even North Korea went to the level of brainwashing that she witnessed....

“In North Korea I literally believed that my Dear Leader [Kim Jong-un] was starving,” she said. “He’s the fattest guy – how can anyone believe that? And then somebody showed me a photo and said ‘Look at him, he’s the fattest guy. Other people are all thin.’ And I was like, ‘Oh my God, why did I not notice that he was fat?’ Because I never learned how to think critically.”

“That is what is happening in America,” she added. “People see things but they’ve just completely lost the ability to think critically.”

Having seen the worst of humanity in North Korea only to witness brainwashing in the United States, Park admitted to feeling quite bitter and hopeless about it all.

You guys have lost common sense to degree that I as a North Korean cannot even comprehend,” she said. “Where are we going from here? There’s no rule of law, no morality, nothing is good or bad anymore, it’s complete chaos. I guess that’s what they want, to destroy every single thing and rebuild into a Communist paradise.”
