It was a perfect Hollywood moment. Perfectly revealing, that is.

John Davidson, the inspiration behind the film “I Swear,” earned an invitation to the recent BAFTA awards gala. The film chronicles the life of a man suffering from Tourette syndrome, a condition that finds the sufferer sharing cruel, involuntary outbursts.

We don’t want to spoil the film, but it’s likely China and India won’t be name-checked enough in the screenplay.

They. Can’t. Help. Themselves.

Sadly, Davidson’s inability to control his tongue tainted the early moments of the ceremony. His swears could be heard in the venue, even though he wasn’t on the stage at the time.

Host Alan Cumming apologized for Davidson’s comments early in the show, noting the cruel nature of the incurable condition. But when Davidson’s racially charged comments bled into the audio feed while black performers Michael B. Jordan and Delroy Lindo took the stage, the reaction was hyperbolic.

Yes, the “N-word” remains a vile reminder of our bigoted past, an awful word that has earned its toxic brand. But Davidson didn’t mean to utter the foul word. He literally couldn’t help himself.

Yet the same artistic community that pleads for empathy and understanding recoiled at the moment. The story has lingered for days in the legacy media. Jamie Foxx publicly called out Davidson, while one BAFTA judge quit after the incident.

They ignored the facts of his condition and embraced their victim status, even though Davidson is the ultimate victim. The real villain is the person in charge of the show’s feed who didn’t bleep out the offending words.

May he or she never work an awards broadcast again.

The kerfuffle punished poor Davidson all over again. And instead of basking in a personal triumph — a movie that asked people to understand and forgive his tragic condition — he got a nightmare he’ll never forget …

Pine-ing away

Imagine watching your Oscar-winning wife star in a rom-com alongside a handsome leading man. That’s the reality Dave McCary faces, and it’s all his fault.

McCary is married to “Bugonia” star Emma Stone, and he’s agreed to direct her in the upcoming romance “The Catch.” Her co-star? None other than Captain Kirk himself, Chris Pine.

It’s unclear if the film will have an “intimacy coordinator” on set, but we image Pine will be more than a little nervous when he goes in for a buss. Hope he sets his phaser on, “Hey, it’s in the script” …

Inconvenient Truth 2: Electric Boogaloo

Remember when “An Inconvenient Truth” forced America to do everything possible to stop global war — we mean climate change? Or when “The Day After Tomorrow” and “Don’t Look Up” did the job? Or the dozen-plus documentaries pleading with U.S. voters to do something, anything, about global apocalypse, economic fallout be darned?

No? That’s OK. Turns out we were all waiting for this movie to change everything.

The project, based on the book “Losing Earth,” is set in 1980 and shows climate expects warning the world that something must be done, or else. Filming is set to begin shortly under director Tom McCarthy (“Spotlight,” “Win Win”).

The cast and crew are a who’s who of Hollywood, including Paul Rudd, John Turturro, Paul Giamatti, Jason Clarke, Tatiana Maslany, Matt Damon, and Ben Affleck. The latter two superstars are executive producers on the project.

We don’t want to spoil the film, but it’s likely China and India won’t be name-checked enough in the screenplay, nor any of Al Gore’s “Inconvenient” predictions …

‘View’ boo-boo

“The View” wants to be sued oh, so badly.

The dumber-than-dumb ABC show routinely creeps up to the line, only to read a few “legal notes” later to save its skin. And sadly, their collective TDS appears incurable.

The latest example?

Sunny Hostin read an alleged excerpt from the Epstein files that said President Donald Trump had once sexually assaulted a 13-year-old girl. The claim is part of the more preposterous side of the files, wild allegations that have no credibility. Otherwise legacy media outlets would be covering it 24-7 and/or the Biden administration would have leaked it years ago.

How do we know? Later in the show, legal scholar Joy Behar coaxed Hostin to clarify her earlier comments:

I want to be very careful here because these are allegations, and President Trump has consistently — they’re unverified allegations, and President Trump has consistently denied all the allegations and any wrongdoing. BUT there was a presentation made by the FBI, and the witness stated that Jeffrey Epstein introduced her to Trump, who subsequently forced her head down and punched her in the head in response to something that she did.

Imagine if Hostin had been “very careful” in the first place.

It’s just a matter of time before someone on “The View” gets a tap on the shoulder to find legal documents in their face.

The suspected driver of the 18-wheeler filmed on Wednesday speeding in the wrong direction down a stretch of highway in Missouri has been identified as a Minnesota-based Somali migrant.

Lincoln County Prosecuting Attorney Mike Wood indicated that while he was not immediately taken into custody, Abdiasis Ibrahim Ali, 38, has been charged with driving the wrong direction on a divided highway and operating a motor vehicle in a careless manner.

‘He wasn’t able to read.’

The prosecutor noted further that a no-bound warrant for Ali’s arrest has been requested and that U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement has been notified.

X user MolonLabeBTC shared footage on Wednesday showing a truck barreling southbound down Highway 61 — in one of the northbound lanes. The X user claimed that he began following the “foreign invader” after the truck nearly hit him “head on” and that the incident took place roughly five miles north of Troy.

Sgt. Dallas Thompson of the Missouri State Highway Patrol stated, “We were glad someone saw this yesterday and called it in to try to get resources there to get the vehicle stopped,” reported KMOV-TV.

After the driver crossed over to the southbound lane, a state trooper reportedly stopped him and conducted a roadside inspection.

“During that test, the trooper noticed he wasn’t able to read and comprehend the road signs,” said Thompson.

Having been found incapable of demonstrating basic reading comprehension and proficiency in English, “the driver was taken out of service,” added Thompson.

After Ali was taken out of service, his co-driver, Abdulahi Abshir Alim — who was apparently in the “sleeper” at the time of the incident — took over, said Wood.

Secretary of Transportation Sean Duffy indicated that despite his apparent inability to read road signs, the driver was in possession of a Minnesota commercial driver’s license.

Duffy noted further that the driver’s carrier, Cargo Transportation LLC, is now under investigation.

Department of Transportation records indicate that Cargo Transportation is based in Hopkins, Minnesota — in what appears to be an apartment complex — and has two drivers who drove over 81,000 miles in 2024. As of Friday, the company’s USDOT status was still listed as “active.”

Blaze News was unable to reach the company for comment.

The trailer apparently hauled by the Somali is owned by Taylor Trucking Lines whose vice president said in a statement obtained by KMOV, “The driver is not an employee or contractor of Taylor Trucking Lines. He is a contractor for Cargo Transportation. The driver was fired shortly after the video was seen.”

The incident took place the day after President Donald Trump called on lawmakers to “pass what we will call the Dalilah Law, barring any state from granting commercial driver’s licenses to illegal aliens.”

The proposed legislation takes its name from Dalilah Coleman, a little girl grievously injured in a car accident that was allegedly caused by an illegal alien from India who reportedly obtained a commercial driver’s license from California Democrat Gov. Gavin Newsom’s Department of Motor Vehicles.

According to the USDOT, roughly 200,000 truckers hold non-domiciled CDLs, and over 14,000 truckers have been kicked out of service for failing to meet basic language requirements since the department brought back English proficiency tests in May 2025.

Though the Department of Homeland Security has achieved some success in deporting illegal aliens, it has always been met with resistance — both on the street and in the department itself.

In an interview with podcaster Patrick Bet-David this week, DHS Secretary Kristi Noem revealed the depth of some of the problems her department has been facing and the people who have helped her fight the alleged corruption.

‘They helped me identify that some of my own employees in my department had downloaded software on my phone and my laptop to spy on me.’

“You wouldn’t even believe what I’ve found since I’ve been in this department,” Secretary of Homeland Security Kristi Noem said on the “PBD Podcast” this week.

“I just found the other day a whole room on this campus that was a secret SCIF — secure facility — that had files nobody knew existed. So we just happened to have an employee walk by a door and wonder what it was and started asking questions. We went in there. There was individuals working there that had secret files that nobody knew about on some of these most controversial topics.”

RELATED: Democrat senator rages when Noem dares to enforce the law

“Now I’ve got that turned over to attorneys, and we’re getting to the bottom of what exactly happened there.”

Noem also claimed that her devices were compromised but that Elon Musk’s tech team helped expose the software that was compromising her privacy.

“Elon and his team were extremely helpful to me. They helped me identify that some of my own employees in my department had downloaded software on my phone and my laptop to spy on me, to record our meetings. They had done that to several of the politicals.”

“Unbelievable,” Bet-David said as she recounted the story.

Noem stressed that they would still probably have that software installed had it not been for Musk and his team. As a result, she said, “One of the things I need to do and continue to do is partner with technology companies and experts to bring them in and help us.”

“I always believed when people talked about the deep state before that it existed. I never would have dreamed that it was as bad as it is.”

A recent story in Wired celebrated the culture of “maker resistance,” casting hobbyists and hackers as neighborhood sentinels guarding against federal immigration enforcement.

All over the country, makers are 3D-printing thousands of whistles to help people on the ground alert others to nearby ICE activity. But the whistles are far from the only tools being used to respond to the surge of federal agents. Protesters are DIY-ing a wide array of gadgets like camera mounts, mobile networking gear, and handheld eye washers to clear away pepper spray, tear gas, and irritants used to quell protests.

For a conservative audience that supports the rule of law and ICE’s work, the story reads less like grassroots resilience and more like a blueprint for obstruction dressed up in DIY chic.

A pocket unit that emits a courteous chime when declarations of moral purity rise in direct proportion to personal insulation from consequences.

The federal government is charged with enforcing immigration law enacted by Congress. ICE agents are not an invading army; they are civil servants tasked with carrying out policies shaped through democratic processes. That fact rarely survives the romantic renderings of resistance culture.

Muddled makers

The maker movement itself has long embodied ingenuity and independence. In another era, that spirit wired towns, built radios, and launched small businesses. Today, the same tools that once fueled invention are repurposed to shadow enforcement and surveil federal agents.

The technical skill is undeniable. The intent is harder to defend. When creativity shifts from creation to confrontation, the balance between citizen and state tilts toward disorder.

Supporters frame these efforts as mutual aid. Critics see something more troubling: a normalization of defiance against lawful authority. The line between observation and obstruction blurs quickly in tense moments. A mesh network that alerts neighbors to approaching agents may also alert traffickers. A whistle meant to warn a family may also warn a fugitive. Technology is neutral; its consequences are not.

Early-warning ingenuity

There is also an irony worth noting. Many of the same voices that champion strict regulation in speech, commerce, firearms, and energy now celebrate decentralized networks designed specifically to evade oversight. Authority is applauded when convenient and denounced when it isn’t.

Still, the celebration of gadget-driven resistance invites a certain tongue-in-cheek response. If protest culture can engineer mesh nodes, mobile camera rigs, and tactical “mutual aid” kits, perhaps the rest of the country should respond in kind.

After all, this is a nation that can detect a tremor thirty miles beneath the Pacific shelf, triangulate a hurricane from orbit, and deliver neighborhood-by-neighborhood pollen counts to your phone. Surely we can apply that same early-warning genius to the domestic climate.

Consider the following prototypes. Currently seeking investors.

1. Calm before the outrage monitor

A wristband calibrated to tremble whenever emotional intensity outruns factual content.

It hums peacefully at food banks and flood cleanups, then begins to vibrate like a malfunctioning espresso machine the moment a megaphone appears and nuance slips quietly out the side door.

Engineers report one prototype briefly achieved low orbit during a campus forum after the phrase “this is violence” was applied to a seating chart.

2. Virtue-signal radar

A pocket unit that emits a courteous chime when declarations of moral purity rise in direct proportion to personal insulation from consequences. The indicator slides from blue to amber, then bright red once self-righteous certainty reaches escape velocity.

In beta tests, it rang like cathedral bells when someone began, “As I stand here on stolen land.”

3. Aesthetic alarm

If you’re attempting to gauge ideological intensity, hair, wardrobe, and visual branding provide surprisingly reliable data. Developers are currently refining the aesthetic alarm, which activates when political identity is communicated primarily through costume, accessories, and hair shades normally reserved for highlighters.

It measures symbolism per square inch. A recent firmware update allows it to distinguish between genuine individuality and curated outrage aesthetics, though field reports suggest the two often arrive looking remarkably similar.

4. Radical credentials authenticator

Verifies whether an anti-capitalist has a trust fund or whether a housing activist owns property.

5. Consensus individualist counter

Counts how many people in a given room have independently arrived at identical opinions about every major issue. Particularly useful in university settings and progressive book clubs.

9. Transference detector

A highly compensated New York City elementary school assistant principal is accused of operating a cross-country prostitution scheme, according to multiple reports.

Bond Ng, 47, was arrested Sunday and charged with enticing a person to travel in interstate commerce to engage in prostitution, according to the New York Post.

‘It’s arguable that the defendant groomed her.’

Ng was released on a $150,000 bond. As part of his release conditions, Ng must stay away from the public school where he works and wear a GPS monitor, and he’s restricted from leaving New York City.

Ng is an assistant principal at P.S. 16 in the Corona neighborhood of Queens. Ng earns $173,029 a year, according to public payroll records.

Ng is the supervisor in charge of “testing, school safety, technology, transportation and trips, school aides,” according to the school’s handbook for students and families for the current academic year.

The New York Daily News reported that Ng touched down at John F. Kennedy International Airport in New York City last Friday after a trip to Cartagena, Colombia. Ng was flagged for a second inspection.

Homeland Security officers recovered two of his cell phones containing what the Daily News described as “damning text messages” between him, a porn star, and the “porn star’s clients.”

Citing a federal criminal complaint, the New York Times reported that Ng told investigators he was the “manager” of a woman who appeared in pornographic online videos.

The Times noted that Ng informed authorities that he arranged meetings between the Los Angeles-based porn star and her “fans” in New York, including at his luxury apartment in the neighborhood of Long Island City.

The complaint filed in Brooklyn Federal Court stated that Ng would pretend to be the adult entertainer when communicating with potential clients.

In one text message, Ng gave a prospective client a price quote of $2,000 per hour with the porn star, along with additional fees for specific sex acts or a filmed encounter, according to court records.

“My rate is 2K lover,” Ng wrote in a text message to a potential client, according to the complaint.

Prosecutors said Ng asked the porn star to fly from Los Angeles to New York to have sex with a prospective client in December 2025, but the woman was hesitant to travel because of the cold weather.

However, Ng told the adult film star that the client wanted to meet her for more than seven hours and had already paid him $10,000 for the sexual experience, according to the criminal complaint.

Prosecutors revealed that Ng texted the porn star a list of the clients and meetings that he had arranged for her, including the type of sex and the amount of money to be paid for the illicit encounters, which totaled over $20,000.

The complaint noted that the porn star arrived in New York on Dec. 28, then flew back to Los Angeles on Dec. 30, but not before texting Ng: “Thank you for letting me use your apartment.”

The Times said Ng communicated with potential johns as far back as 2021.

Sources told the Daily News that the porn star is not a minor.

Assistant U.S. Attorney Daniel Amzallag said in court Tuesday that there was an investigation into whether Ng is part of a broader human trafficking operation because he took multiple short trips to Colombia, according to amNY.

Amzallag also hinted that Ng may have been “more coercive than we originally thought,” and added, “It’s arguable that the defendant groomed her.”

Ng’s defense attorney Michael Schneider declared, “The crime he’s charged with, I have to say in my 28 years as a federal defender, I have never seen prosecuted.”

New York state Sen. Jessica Ramos (D), who represents District 13 in Queens, said she was “deeply disturbed by the serious allegations outlined in the federal complaint involving an assistant principal in our community.”

A parent of an 8-year-old student at P.S. 16 told the New York Post, “This is very dangerous for the kids. I’m angry about it. He should never be around kids, and he should never come back here.”

The Post obtained a letter sent by the school to parents that said Ng had been “reassigned” and banned from the school premises pending the outcome of the investigation.

A spokesperson for the New York City Department of Education declined to offer a comment and referred questions to federal authorities, the Post said.

The U.S. Attorney’s Office for the Eastern District of New York did not immediately respond to Blaze News‘ request for comment.

The two Boston Bruins players who represented the United States at the 2026 Olympics have succumbed to media pressure.

Seemingly every player from Team USA’s gold medal-winning men’s hockey team is facing a struggle session from local reporters who are asking them why they laughed at a joke made by President Trump.

‘Certainly not reflective of how we feel and look at them and their accomplishments.’

When the president called the men’s locker room after they defeated Canada 2-1 on Sunday, he invited the team to the State of the Union as well as to the White House before making a wisecrack about also inviting the women’s gold medal team.

“We’re going to have to bring the women’s team,” the president joked, adding that he “probably would be impeached” if he didn’t.

Since then, the league-wide hunt for unauthorized laughter has commenced, and some players are starting to show cracks in their armor.

Bruins players were seemingly the first to show significant regret for laughing with the president, starting with goalie Jeremy Swayman. The Team USA backup goalie called it an “incredible honor” to attend the State of the Union but then told reporters that the team should have had a different reaction to the phone call.

“We should have reacted differently,” Swayman said from the locker room on Wednesday. “We know that we are so excited for the women’s team. We have so much respect for the women’s team, and to share that gold medal with them is something that we’re forever grateful for.”

The Alaskan added, “Now that we’re home, we get to share that together forever and see the incredible support that we have from the USA and sharing this incredible gold medal.”

On Thursday, it was more of the same from Bruins defenseman Charlie McAvoy, a 28-year-old New Yorker who also suited up for the United States.

McAvoy said he was “certainly sorry for how we responded to it in that moment,” before qualifying that there were “things that just happened really quick there.”

The longtime Bruin told reporters that the relationship between the men’s and women’s teams is incredibly strong, and their reaction to the president’s joke was “certainly not reflective of how we feel and look at them and their accomplishments.”

On the subject of his visit to the White House, McAvoy revealed he had always told himself that such an opportunity was one he would never miss.

“Just the history of that building, the history of this country. You know, if I get a chance to go to … I was certainly going to go.”

Trump’s remarks have caused a meltdown among sports reporters, who have incessantly sought comment from the male and female athletes in question.

In response, Team USA women’s captain Hilary Knight lectured her countrymen during interviews this week, describing the backlash as being a “teaching point.”

Knight also called the joke “distasteful and unfortunate,” before saying the male players had a “lapse” in judgment by laughing at Trump’s remarks.

Government micromanagement has throttled economic growth for decades. The latest example came when the Surface Transportation Board deemed the Norfolk Southern-Union Pacific merger application incomplete and rejected it without prejudice. That decision delays what would be the first uninterrupted transcontinental railroad in American history — a privately financed project that could strengthen supply chains, boost growth, and improve American competitiveness without costing taxpayers a dime.

For now, that vision sits on hold.

A stronger rail network would help stabilize the supply chain while lowering costs for producers and consumers alike.

The STB said the 7,000-page filing lacked several key materials, including a full market-impact analysis with traffic projections. Norfolk Southern and Union Pacific now must fill in the gaps and refile.

That setback does not decide the larger question. Rail mergers have recovered from early regulatory obstacles before, and the STB’s ruling on completeness says nothing definitive about the underlying merits of this merger.

In May 2021, for example, the STB rejected CSX’s application to acquire Pan Am Railways as incomplete. Two months later, CSX resubmitted the application, and the board accepted it. The combined railroad later expanded shipping options, lowered freight costs for shippers, and supported regional growth.

Opponents of the present merger nevertheless treat the incomplete ruling as a final victory. It is not. It is a procedural delay, not a substantive rejection. And history shows that rail mergers of this kind can generate real economic benefits.

Today, shipping goods across the country by rail often means navigating a patchwork system of freight lines, transfer points, and carriers. Businesses must coordinate among multiple operators just to move a product from one coast to the other.

That fragmentation imposes real costs. It slows delivery, raises uncertainty, and forces businesses to protect themselves with larger inventory buffers and wider shipping windows. Those costs do not disappear. Businesses absorb some of them, and consumers pay the rest.

Farmers, manufacturers, and other suppliers feel that pressure most acutely. Many already operate on thin margins. Add shipping delays and higher freight costs, and those businesses face hard choices: eat the loss, cut investment, or raise prices.

That is why the Union Pacific-Norfolk Southern merger matters.

A stronger rail network would help stabilize the supply chain while lowering costs for producers and consumers alike. It also would mark the first time companies attempted to create a true transcontinental rail line without asking taxpayers to foot the bill.

The competitiveness argument matters too. A USDA study found that wheat grown in 2022 cost more to ship by rail to western ports in the United States than in Canada, even across comparable distances. Canada produces far less wheat than the United States, but its less fragmented rail network gives its exporters an advantage. American farmers, by contrast, compete from a structurally weaker position because the U.S. rail system remains broken into discontinuous lines.

That disadvantage carries real consequences. When uninterrupted, rail can move freight at costs up to 60% lower per ton than other transportation modes. A more seamless coast-to-coast rail network would narrow the gap between American producers and their foreign competitors.

Critics argue that the merger would reduce competition in shipping. That view is too narrow. Freight competition does not occur only within rail. Shippers compare rail with trucking, barges, pipelines, and air cargo. A stronger rail network would not eliminate those alternatives. It would complement them. In a resilient supply chain, businesses need multiple transportation options, not fewer.

An efficient rail system would make the entire freight market stronger by giving shippers another dependable, lower-cost tool for moving goods.

The task now is straightforward: Norfolk Southern and Union Pacific should complete the review process quickly and responsibly. The precedent exists for a successful resubmission after an incomplete ruling. If that happens here, Americans will gain the kind of privately financed infrastructure upgrade the country badly needs.

BlazeTV host Sara Gonzales and Rep. Chip Roy (R-Texas) are among those leading the charge against not just a radical Islamic takeover in Texas — but the rest of the nation.

And it’s never been more important that they succeed.

“It is a really big problem, not just in this state or your home state of Texas and my home state of Texas, but in this entire country. And I’m very, very concerned that there are a lot of sleeper cells that are here because of the Biden administration being asleep at the wheel for four years,” Gonzales tells Roy.

And Roy couldn’t agree more.

“Under the First Amendment, you can believe what you want you to believe. But this is a political movement. It’s an ideological movement. The Muslim Brotherhood has a plan,” Roy tells Gonzales.

“That plan is on full display in Dallas-Fort Worth as ground zero.”

“We have no-go zones where women don’t want to go, in Arlington, in Richardson, in suburbs of Dallas-Fort Worth. That is part of their plan to Islamify Texas in our country. That is a political and ideological movement that is not square with the First Amendment. And we should treat it as such,” he continues.

“We should resist it. We should fight it. We should stand up on our Judeo-Christian values,” he adds.

And while standing up for our values against insidious ideologies like Islam is clearly important, the alternative is devastating.

“If we stand together for revival, a revival of faith and a revival of freedom, that faith is our Judeo-Christian principles, our Christian beliefs, and our dedication to freedom. Then we will win, and we’ll have the greatest century in our history,” he explains.

“If we recoil and let people hide behind the First Amendment to radically Islamify our country, if we back away from freedom and the ability of Americans to live without being under the thumb of government, then we will lose,” he continues.

“Those are the issues,” he adds.

The University of Notre Dame in Indiana announced last month that pro-abortion radical Susan Ostermann had been appointed to lead the Liu Institute for Asia and Asian Studies.

The administrative elevation of an activist whose secular ministry is fundamentally at odds with the moral teachings of the Catholic Church and the school’s corresponding pro-life position proved intolerable to Notre Dame’s members and supporters — including the cleric invested with the power to prohibit the institution from identifying as Catholic.

‘A win for consistency, clarity, and common sense.’

The sustained protest by scholars, supporters, alumni, and clergy — including 15 bishops and two archbishops — appears to have paid off.

Keough School of Global Affairs Dean Mary Gallagher, the administrator who reportedly first made the appointment, announced in a letter on Thursday to students and faculty that Ostermann “has decided not to move forward as director.”

“I am grateful for her willingness to serve and for the thoughtfulness with which she approached this decision,” wrote Gallagher.

Gallagher suggested further that the activist — who has dehumanized the unborn, downplayed the dangers of abortion, equated childbirth without the option of abortion as “violence,” worked with an organization that seeks to enshrine pro-abortion policies around the world, and vilified the pro-life movement — is a “respected scholar” whose “research and teaching reflect the intellectual rigor and interdisciplinary excellence at the heart of both the Lieu Institute and the Keough School of Global Affairs.”

Ostermann said in a statement included in Gallagher’s letter that “the focus on my appointment risks overshadowing the vital work the Institute performs, which it should be allowed to pursue without undue distraction,” reported the Irish Rover.

She noted further that “it has become clear that there is work to do at Notre Dame to build a community where a variety of voices can flourish.”

The announcement comes two weeks after Bishop Kevin Rhoades of the Catholic Diocese of Fort Wayne-South Bend condemned Ostermann’s appointment, underscored that her views and activism were disqualifying, and told the university to “rectify this situation.”

Following the news that Ostermann had thrown in the towel, Bishop Rhoades expressed gratitude “to all the members of the Notre Dame community and beyond who, out of love for Notre Dame, expressed their opposition to the appointment.”

‘The Bishop did not urge us to sit silently and watch our Lady’s University fall before our eyes.’

“The reason I opposed the appointment is because the appointment of persons to leadership positions at a Catholic university is an act of institutional witness, a mission-governance issue,” wrote Rhoades.

“Clearly Notre Dame is reaffirming its fidelity to a core truth of Catholic social teaching that is central to the Church’s commitment to integral human development.”

Mary FioRito, senior fellow at the Catholic Association, said in a statement obtained by Blaze News, “Professor Susan Ostermann’s decision not to accept the position of director at the University of Notre Dame’s Liu Center is a win for consistency, clarity, and common sense.”

“As an explicitly Catholic university, Notre Dame owes its students and faculty ‘truth in advertising,'” continued FioRito. “Ostermann’s public advocacy of legal abortion would have overshadowed the good work of the Liu Center and significantly hampered its ability to form students.”

Catholic and conservative student groups — including Notre Dame Right to Life, Knights of Columbus Council 1477, and the Militia of Immaculata — were planning to hold a prayerful protest Friday evening where they would urge Rev. Robert Dowd, the president of the university, to rescind the appointment and “exercise his authority to enforce Notre Dame’s Catholic mission.”

Sophomore Luke Woodyard, co-organizer of the planned demonstration, stated, “The Bishop did not urge us to sit silently and watch our Lady’s University fall before our eyes; he gave us a clear call to action.”

Notre Dame Right to Life President Anna Kelley told the Observer on Thursday that in light of Ostermann’s decision, students will still assemble on Friday but for “a prayerful procession in gratitude of the recent decision” and in thanks “for the true Catholic identity of Notre Dame.”
