Quote III

“But I would certainly view my obligation, the administration’s obligation to follow the law and the fact that they have disrespected the law is not a precedent I would hope that would be broadly followed.

In a quiet little suburb located in New Jersey there is a certain man who is enjoying French Toast.

I've never lost a child of mine to death let alone suicide. I can't even imagine the grief this family is facing. However, is Stanford University responsible for a bright adult's death? I think there is more to the story than is being reported.

The parents of Katie Meyer have filed a wrongful-death lawsuit against Stanford University months after the 22-year-old soccer captain was found dead in her dorm room.

The complaint, filed Wednesday in Santa Clara County Superior Court, names several university administrators and alleges that a disciplinary letter sent to Meyers on Feb. 28 was a form of “institutional bullying” and caused distress that “impulsively led her to suicide” that night.

“The actions that led to the death of Katie Meyer began and ended with Stanford University,” the lawsuit claimed.

Stanford’s Office of Community Standards sent Meyer the formal disciplinary charges by email. The five-page letter addressed an August 2021 incident in which she allegedly spilled coffee on a football player while riding her bike.

Meyer believed that he had sexually assaulted a freshman teammate of hers who was a minor at the time.

Though the incident was reported to the university last year, the football player faced no disciplinary actions, the suit claimed, and wasn’t dismissed from the team.

Instead, Meyer received a letter after hours and on the last day disciplinary charges could be brought. It outlined her “potential removal” from the university while placing a hold on her degree three months shy of graduation.

That night, she responded with an email that expressed how “shocked and distraught” she was.

The suit further claimed that the university failed to immediately follow up with a wellness check.

Stanford spokesperson Dee Mostofi disagreed that the university bore any responsibility for Meyer’s suicide.

“The Stanford community continues to grieve Katie’s tragic death,” Mostofi wrote in a statement, “and we sympathize with her family for the unimaginable pain that Katie’s passing has caused them.”

Always unload your shotgun around your clumsy dog. Man's best friend blows him away.

A new dad tragically died after he was accidentally shot by his own dog during a hunting excursion in Turkey over Thanksgiving weekend.

The freak accident occurred while Ozgur Gevrekoglu, 32, was pursuing game with his pals on the Kizlan Plateau in Samsun Province last weekend, Newsflash reported.

While the expedition went off without a hitch, disaster struck while the hunter was packing up to leave.

Gevrekoglu was reportedly putting his pet dog in the trunk of the car, when its paw inadvertently touched the trigger of the still-loaded shotgun, causing the weapon to discharge into the sportsman at close range.

The Trump ally announced his bid on Monday morning on his "Frank Speech" streaming platform.

Lindell accused the RNC of collecting donor cash but not investigating baseless claims of voter fraud.
