USC Layoffs Under Way

Around 15 people were laid off this week from the fundraising team at the USC Keck School of Medicine, according to sources.

This is part of the brutal fallout from the $200 million budget deficit USC had under former president Carol Folt in the recently concluded fiscal year.

Maybe someone can ask Lincoln Riley if a football coach should make $11 million while mass layoffs are taking place at USC.

    1. KAM: Democrats lie about the booming economy and wonder why no one listens to them any more. “Apple CEO Tim Cook will join President Donald Trump for an event touting what the White House calls a new $100 billion investment commitment by the tech giant in the U.S.”

    2. Remember the scene in Broadcast News where the station owner asks Jack Nicholson [as their highest paid anchor] to lower his contract demands in order to save the newsroom from mass layoffs:

      Nicholson just gives him a long, dirty look.

      Station owner: “Forget I even said that! I don’t know why I asked! It just shows the pressure we’re all under.”

  3. KAM: The NLRB’s case against USC, the NCAA, and the Pac-12 regarding the employment status of student-athletes is ongoing, with a trial that began in late 2023. However, recent developments suggest that the National College Players Association has requested to withdraw its unfair labor practice charge, possibly influenced by changes in the political landscape and progress in athlete compensation.

    Current Status of the USC Case

    The National Labor Relations Board (NLRB) is currently involved in a significant case regarding the employment status of student-athletes at the University of Southern California (USC), the NCAA, and the Pac-12 Conference. This case centers on whether these student-athletes should be classified as employees under the National Labor Relations Act (NLRA).Key Developments

    • Complaint Filed: The NLRB filed a complaint alleging that USC, the NCAA, and the Pac-12 are joint employers and have misclassified student-athletes as amateurs rather than employees.
    • Hearing and Testimony: An evidentiary hearing took place in early 2024, where testimony was presented. However, a decision from the administrative law judge has not yet been issued.
    • Withdrawal of Charges: Recently, the National College Players Association (NCPA) withdrew its unfair labor practice charge against USC and the NCAA, citing the need for the college sports industry to adapt to new revenue-sharing models. This withdrawal is also influenced by the anticipated changes in the NLRB’s political landscape following the 2024 presidential election.

    Future Implications

    • Political Changes: The incoming administration is expected to appoint new NLRB members who may be less favorable to labor unions and athlete employment claims. This could significantly impact the outcome of the USC case and similar cases across the country.
    • Remaining Legal Pathways: While the NCPA has withdrawn its charge, the Johnson v. NCAA case remains active in federal court, which could continue to address the employment status of college athletes.

    DON: The situation is fluid, and the future of student-athlete employment rights will depend on both legal outcomes and political developments.

  4. KAM: Tulsi Gabbard says the Russia Hoax wasn’t James Clapper’s first intel scandal—she says he “manufactured” the WMD lie that led to the Iraq War.

    It all ties together.

    Perfectly.

    Tulsi Gabbard just EXPOSED former DNI James Clapper for what she called a pattern of manipulating intelligence for political ends.

    “James Clapper was on the team that created, that manufactured intelligence assessment that led to the Iraq War about the Iraq WMDs,” she said. “He writes about it in his book, saying that he and his team of intelligence analysts created something that was not there.”

    DON: For Gabbard, it’s a straight line from Iraq to Russiagate.

    “When you look at his actions then, and you look at his actions in 2016 as Obama’s Director of National Intelligence, you see someone who has NO problem whatsoever politicizing and manufacturing and weaponizing intelligence for a political outcome.”

  5. KAM: COME SEE THE ANTISEMITISM INHERENT IN THE LEFTISM: 

    It’s hard not to think of that vote when reading the news that, as expected, Brian Schatz has secured his place as Durbin’s successor as whip. That part is less important than what it sets up for the future: a relatively clear path for Schatz to eventually succeed Chuck Schumer as the party’s Senate leader. As Punchbowl reports today, the Hawaii Democrat “has secured commitments from a majority of Democratic senators in his bid to become their next whip, including a crucial new endorsement from Senate Minority Leader Chuck Schumer.”

    Now, in fairness to Schatz, not all that much will materially change regarding anti-Semitism and Israel. The biggest difference with Schatz will be that he won’t pretend to agonize over his eventual concessions to the base. The party’s anti-Israel turn will speed up, mostly because we won’t have to sit through Schumer’s soul-[baring] monologues wherein he at least gestures at his lifelong promises to his Jewish constituents before doing nothing to protect or defend them.

    Schumer’s betrayal is meaningful, because he came up through the most Jewish city in the world outside of Israel and insisted he be regarded as “Schumer the shomer”—Schumer the watchman, the guardian, the sentinel of his beleaguered people.

    DON: Just wait until New York voters replace Schumer with Squad member AOC

  6. Quotes from Kamala’s new book according to the Babylon Bee:

    1. “A prologue is like an introduction. So, here’s my introduction. And this is my book. A book written by me. I am me. The writer of the book.”
    2. “My publisher said this book should be 100,000 words, which is very, very, very, very […] very, very, very many words.”
    3. “This is a chapter. And in this chapter, there will be several pages. Each page contains many words. And the words are the meaning of the chapter.”
    4. “I was accused of covering up Joe Biden’s severe dementia. This is false. During his entire term, he always seemed just as sharp and intelligent as I was.”
    5. “Of all the great political minds throughout history, the genius whose philosophy I admire most has to be Megan Thee Stallion.”

      1. Dementia assumes that you had a level of intelligence at some point and then experienced a regression of it. I am not sure Harris ever had much cognitive ability so it is difficult to see the regression.

      1. Seriously —Lincoln has made a conscious decision to show the fans [what Archie Moore called] “a lotta nothing.” He’s a jerk when it comes to public relations.

        When you think about it USC has a d-coordinator, an o-coordinator ….and no head coach. Riley has no concept of what it means to be a head coach: no contact with fans, no respect for people outside his circle.

        And he has very little reason to feel so smug….he personally blew at least a half dozen games –starting with Utah and Tulane …and ending with Minnesota and Maryland.
