Duke (2006)
Crystal Mangum accused three Duke lacrosse players of gang rape. Charges were dropped; the players were declared innocent by the North Carolina Attorney General. Mangum later admitted the story was fabricated.
Hofstra (2009)
An 18-year-old student accused five men of gang rape in a campus bathroom. She recanted within days after a cell-phone video showed consensual sex. She was charged with filing a false report.
Xavier (2012)
Basketball player Dez Wells was expelled after a fellow student accused him of sexual assault. Hamilton County Prosecutor Joe Deters investigated, a grand jury declined to indict, and Deters publicly called Xavier’s process “fundamentally unfair.” Wells transferred to Maryland and later settled a lawsuit with Xavier.
UC Boulder (2013)
A student (Sarah Gilchriese) reported an alleged assault months after it supposedly occurred. Prosecutors declined to charge. The university’s handling of the case and related Title IX complaints drew federal scrutiny and later lawsuits from accused students claiming biased investigations.
UVA / Rolling Stone (2014)
Sabrina Rubin Erdely’s article “A Rape on Campus” described a brutal fraternity gang rape of a student identified as “Jackie.” Police found no evidence; Rolling Stone fully retracted the story. The account collapsed under basic fact-checking.
Mattress Girl / Columbia (2014)
Emma Sulkowicz accused fellow student Paul Nungesser of rape and carried a mattress around campus as a protest art project. Columbia’s process found Nungesser not responsible. He later sued; the university settled.
Clemson (2015)
Andrew Pampu was found responsible by the university after Erin Wingo claimed she was too intoxicated to consent. A friend later texted Pampu admitting they had lied. A jury awarded Pampu $5.3 million in a defamation/conspiracy case (later partially reversed on appeal).
Sacred Heart (2016)
Nikki Yovino accused two football players of rape at an off-campus party. She later admitted the sex was consensual and that she had lied to preserve a romantic relationship. She pleaded guilty to false reporting and served prison time. The players sued her and the university.
These cases share several features: rapid institutional action under Title IX pressure, limited due-process protections for the accused, heavy media or campus-activist coverage before facts were established, and eventual recantation, prosecutorial refusal to charge, or civil findings that the original claims were false or coordinated.
A problem that makes these types of cases difficult to honestly evaluate and openly discuss, is that there is a high likelihood that all parties involved made poor choices and behaved badly. That doesn’t mean a crime necessarily occurred.
It isn’t uncommon for a victim (usually female) to deliberately intoxicate themselves. It also isn’t uncommon for predators (usually male) to facilitate that behavior with exploitive intent. When a consenting adult participates in their own degradation or abuse at the hands of perpetrators utilizing coercive control, our legal system is insufficient to produce a just outcome which reconciles the consequences of human depravity. We don’t know how to fairly address this problem.
Women should be aware that it is possible to become a victim in a sexual encounter without any laws technically being broken. The inadequacies of our legal system isn’t a justification to exaggerate and falsify accusations.
Men need to accept accountability that if your sexual behavior is predatory, then you are a sexual predator. This is true even if you haven’t broken any laws. Just because it isn’t practical in most cases to incarcerate you for using deceit, manipulation and coercion in pursuit of sexual conquest, doesn’t mean you don’t deserve to be excluded from decent communities.
Asmongold declares Candace Owens a barnacle
“Worthless, rough, destructive, attached to something infinitely more valuable than herself. That has been slowly decaying and eroding the foundation of the thing that she has attached herself to, in the most parasitic and worthless way possible.
She represents the worst inclinations of the dumbest people. She is the manifestation of stupidity, insanity, hypocrisy, and just pure garbage.
I really don’t like her.”
I will not now, and never will, diminish the struggles working-class Americans deal with every day. It’s YOUR country, and you deserve to be heard.
But we all have a choice to make in the upcoming election, and I believe the choice is clear.
The Trump administration has built an incredible record over the past two years. That progress is at risk of being reversed if Democrats win this election.
Here are the facts:
-Highest median household income on record.
-Lowest poverty rate in decades.
-Lowest unemployment rate in decades.
-Multiple record highs in the equity markets.
-Billions of dollars in new investment in the United States.
-Lowest crime rates in decades.
-Record reductions in the murder rate.
-Record deportations.
-Massive reductions in the federal workforce and historic cuts to government red tape.
-Prescription drug prices moving down.
And a whole lot more.
I know none of this makes real challenges, such as the cost of living, magically disappear. Working Americans still feel those pressures every day, and they deserve to be heard.
But I believe the Trump administration’s record is far better than the Democratic alternative.
Thanks for reading. Please choose wisely.
even in my wildest imagination, I wouldn’t have believed our government was capable of building something this delightful and so close to the frontier
there are many things one can criticize about this administration, but putting Joe Gebbia at the helm of design is not one of them
🚨 JUST IN: President Trump signs an executive order directing EVERY federal agency to immediately start folding into https://t.co/JjijAndmRl, creating one AI-powered front door for the entire U.S. government.
ONE website to search for EVERYTHING from the federal government. No more bouncing between 47 different agency websites just to renew a passport or check a damn benefit.
47 is FINALLY bringing the federal government into the 21st century. Should've been done a LONG time ago! 🇺🇸
🚨 NOW: The Trump administration is launching a Super Intelligence site that will let Americans change their last name after marriage in ONE SINGLE FORM — which usually requires HOURS or DAYS to fix every government document
"You'll be able to change your name right on the platform."
"This would've taken weeks, multiple filings, different agency websites, if you even knew where to start."
This is perfect!
Saving Americans' time is INVALUABLE
🔥 BREAKING: The White House just posted this video of President Trump sharing his 11 life lessons with young Americans.
"Think of yourself as a winner."
"Be an original...God only created one of you, so don't try to be someone else."

It appears to me the Republican establishment is not doing much to win the midterms so they can blame the loss on Trump & kill MAGA after this election. They really think they can take back control from the people. They are so small.

First off, we’re not ‘banning’ any program. The federal government doesn’t set curriculum or programs.
Here’s the truth: we are holding colleges accountable for leaving students worse off than if they never enrolled. Too many graduates report delaying major life milestones like buying a home or starting a family. Why? Because low return-on-investment programs saddled them with unmanageable debt that was never going to translate into a real-world job.
Federal student loans are not a welfare program for failing college programs. American students deserve education and training pathways that prepare them for the workforce – and transparency about programs that will never pay off.
