Washington: Celebs Rumors

homosexuality is immoral and oppose any sexual activity outside of heterosexual marriage.Officials at Jackson-Reed High School argued that the requirement conflicted with its nondiscrimination policies, which, like D.C.’s human rights law, prohibits disparate treatment or harassment of LGBTQ individuals.The school said it would allow the chapter to remain active if it dissociated from the national FCA or changed its policy regarding the limiting of leaders.A student sought to reactivate the chapter, with school and district officials saying the FCA could remain on campus if it simply elected its leaders, arguing that it was protecting the safety and well-being of students by “promoting an equitable environment free of discrimination.”The Becket Fund for Religious Liberty, a right-wing conservative legal group, argued that the school district and school officials had discriminated against FCA members by not permitting them to be recognized as an official club, claiming they were being treated differently from other school-recognized groups. In court, Jackson-Reed Principal Sah Brown said that only four of 60 school-recognized clubs have been authorized to exclude members or leaders based on gender identity, race, ethnicity, national origin, or other protected characteristics.But he also noted that none of those clubs had actually enforced those exclusions and that each club had dropped language restricting membership from the school’s official website.The office of D.C.

Joe Biden dropping out a little more than three months before election day — a move with no precedent in the past half century? Don’t be silly.Could it be the assassination attempt on Donald Trump two weeks ago, and the energized Republican National Convention that began only days later? Wrong again!How about Trump’s selection of Ohio Senator JD Vance as his running mate?That’s three strikes.No, pinky-out publications such as the Atlantic, Guardian and New York Times — so serious! so respectable! — are insisting that the Washington game-changer worth endless analysis is the word “brat.” Those deluded lunatics claim that the four little letters, which could refer to either Veruca Salt or a grilled German sausage, will galvanize Gen Z into voting in droves for Vice President Kamala Harris in November.How utterly moronic they are.Journalists’ barely veiled giddiness comes, in this instance, because “brat” is a popular new album from singer Charli XCX, which has led to young cultural lemmings, with zero identity other than stupid catchphrases, referring to June through August as their “brat summer.”What does this have to do with the aspiring Democratic Party nominee? Well, the singer wrote on X that “Kamala IS brat” — dumb, meaningless — which caused one of Harris’s official X accounts, @kamalahq, to then change its banner to the avocado green color of the album. Screw the southern border.

arrested and charged in March with fraud and money laundering for diverting $150,000 — which was taken from a larger pool of $1.3 million that Casa Ruby had obtained through the Paycheck Protection Program (PPP) and the Economic Injury Disaster Loan (EIDL) programs — into bank accounts held in El Salvador under her birth name, according to a U.S. Department of Justice news release.Prosecutors claimed Corado passed the money through her consulting company, TIGlobal, in an attempt to circumvent the Small Business Administration’s earlier denial of her EIDL application.Corado was temporarily jailed and placed in solitary confinement for her own protection, until a federal judge decided to release Corado and placed her under house arrest, with GPS monitoring, at the home of a niece in Rockville, Maryland.On Wednesday, July 17, Corado entered a plea deal in which she agreed to plead guilty to one count of wire fraud and give up all proceeds traceable to her offense, in exchange for the government dropping a much larger six-count complaint in which she was charged with bank fraud, money laundering, monetary transactions in criminally derived proceeds, and failure to file a report of a foreign bank account.The wire fraud offense is punishable by up to 30 years in prison.But under federal sentencing guidelines, due to it being Corado’s first offense and the crime not involving violence, Corado could receive a much lighter sentence.Prosecutors have argued that the sentence would fall between 33 to 41 months in prison, while her defense team estimates that she could serve between 15 and 21 months, reports The Washington Post.Corado is next scheduled to appear in court on January 10, 2025, for sentencing.
