We've seen a lot of craziness with the unhinged protests about Gaza from leftists at campuses across the country, including at NYU, Columbia, and other institutions.
This Occupy 2.0 effort has seen antisemitic harassment, violence, and even protesters attacking and chasing the police. Hezbollah flags were seen being waved, including at the Princeton University.encampment on Thursday. The University of Southern California (USC) even called off its formal commencement because they were concerned about safety.
Radical Democrats like Rep. Ilhan Omar (D-MN) and Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez (D-NY) have spoken out in support of these encampments, with Ocasio-Cortez claiming they are "peaceful,"
On Friday’s broadcast of MSNBC’s “Andrea Mitchell Reports,” White House National Security Adviser Jake Sullivan stated that it’s “not clear” that it’s even possible for Israel to have “a credible plan” for an invasion of Rafah that the White House would support.
Sullivan said, “[W]e have made clear that our policy in Gaza will be determined by the steps Israel takes, both with respect to facilitating humanitarian assistance that can save lives, and with respect to civilian protection as it conducts its operations. We have also made clear our absolute deep and fundamental concern about a major military operation in Rafah, because we believe, first,
Alexey Navalny's February death in a remote Arctic prison camp likely wasn't directly ordered by Vladimir Putin, despite Navalny's outspoken criticism of the Russian president, The Wall Street Journal reported Friday.
Despite the suspicious circumstances of the opposition leader's death, the outlet reported Putin may not have intended Navalny to be killed when he was.
The Journal, citing "people familiar with the matter," reported that several US intelligence agencies, including the CIA, the Office of the Director of National Intelligence, and the State Department's intelligence unit, share this opinion.
Well, that’s a curveball regarding the drama over January 6. For liberals, it remains burned into their memories. For everyone else, we do not care anymore. Yet, the Justice Department has joined Democrats in arresting and charging hundreds of people for walking around the U.S. Capitol that day. Only one person, Ashli Babbitt, was killed, and it was by a Capitol Police officer. Was it our nation’s proudest moment? No, but it wasn’t worse than the Civil War or Pearl Harbor, and it's been weaponized by Democrats to go after their political enemies. Donald Trump is the number one public enemy, but Aaron Sorkin, creator of The West Wing, has
U.S. Secretary of State Antony Blinken has raised alarms over evidence suggesting that China is actively attempting to influence and potentially interfere with the 2024 U.S. Presidential Election.
This revelation comes despite assurances from Chinese communist President Xi Jinping that his country would not engage in such activities.
In an interview with CNN, Blinken expressed concern over the evidence the United States has gathered, per Daily Mail.
“We have seen, generally speaking, evidence of attempts to influence and arguably interfere, and we want to make sure that that’s cut off as quickly as possible,” Blinken said.
A Columbia student who posted a livestream in which they stated 'Zionists don't deserve to live' has finally been barred from the university campus, four months after making the incendiary comments.
Protester Khymani James, who served as a spokesperson for the pro-Palestinian encampment as a member of Columbia University Apartheid Divest, was banned from stepping foot on the university grounds on Friday and now faces disciplinary action.
James, who uses 'he/she/they' pronouns, said in the video that 'Zionists don't deserve to live' and people should be grateful James wasn't killing them.
RNC Chair Michael Whatley: Every Day Trump

Is in the Courtroom, His Campaign Contributions Spike replies
The law of unintended consequences is hitting Democrats yet again, as it looks like former President Donald Trump’s Manhattan criminal trial is doing wonders for his campaign coffers.
During an appearance on Fox News’ “America’s Newsroom,” Republican National Committee (RNC) Chair Michael Whatley discussed Trump’s campaign strategy in New York and elsewhere and said that "every day that President Trump has been in court, he's been getting a million dollars or more in small-dollar donations that are coming in online."
Dana Perino started the interview by asking if the GOP is “putting resources in to try to win New York.”
Whatley responded, noting that the former president is “playing offense”

John Earle Sullivan who previously gave a speech at a Black Lives Matter rally in DC, has been sentenced to 6 years after being charged with felony obstruction of an official proceeding and civil disorder.
Prosecutors in the case said that Sullivan sought to "incite violence" and "foment anarchy" during the Capitol protests on J6, according to NBC News. (snip) "I brought my megaphone to instigate s***" he told jurors in the case. He previously gave a speech at a BLM rally in DC in 2020.

As we reported early Friday, Joe Biden's team came up with a new plan designed to keep him from looking old and weak as he shuffled back and forth across the White House lawn to Marine One.
The idea?
Walk with him to and from Marine One, standing between the media and Biden, reducing the number of unflattering shots highlighting his shuffling/looking elderly for the cameras.
But now that we've been tipped off about the new strategy, we're now going to pay even more attention to the issue, because now they've highlighted it with this effort.
So let's check what happened when Biden returned from New York on Friday.

Like the other pro-Hamas protests taking place on college campuses across the country, the one at Emory University has also seen its fair share of Useful Idiots, as evidenced by some clips and photos shared by a local reporter the day after things got quite lively at the Atlanta college. [Tweet, video]
And by "quite lively," I'm referring to all the arrests that were made, with two professors reportedly being among them, in what was a wild scene.
One of them was economics professor Caroline Fohlin, who has become a cause célèbre among the woke left for an incident that happened Thursday-

Can something be astonishing yet not surprising at all? I would assume not, but that's how it feels to read Khymani James' response to videos of him claiming Jews should be murdered.

If you aren't aware of the story, James is a pro-Hamas protest leader and the head of CUAD at Columbia University. He has been "negotiating" with school officials over the illegal encampment set up on campus.
Videos emerged of him on Thursday ranting about how "Zionists" don't deserve to live, claiming they should be exterminated like "nazis." He then proclaimed that others should be "grateful" that he hadn't gone out and murdered Jews himself yet.

Biden’s Department of Justice (DOJ) argued Thursday before the Supreme Court that droning American citizens is permissible because Obama’s DOJ said so, whereas questioning election results isn’t OK because the government also says so.
The Supreme Court heard arguments on the scope of presidential immunity after special counsel Jack Smith alleged that former President Donald Trump should be tossed in jail for questioning the administration of the 2020 election.
James O’Keefe on Friday said he is about to release the most important story of his entire career.
“I have evidence that exposes the CIA, and it’s on camera. I am working on releasing a story that I believe is the most important of my entire career,” O’Keefe said on Friday.
“Do you think it’s a coincidence that right at this moment I am subject to an endless series of attacks?” he said. “This is obviously a sophisticated information operation designed to stop me from releasing this story. I’m sure you recognize they are masters of using half-truths and innuendos to raise doubt against people who don’t deserve it.
White House Press Secretary Karine Jean-Pierre is a survivor, sort of. According to fresh reporting Friday in The New York Post, an attempt was made — from within Biden's inner circle — to oust the president's spokeswoman last fall over concerns she wasn't performing at the level necessary to pitch Biden's agenda leading up to the 2024 election.Any loyal Townhall reader will know that Jean-Pierre is...not great at fielding reporters' questions and explaining President Joe Biden's policies. The tell-tale sign of a bad news cycle for Biden: Jean-Pierre kicks off the daily briefing and then tags in someone else to handle the brunt of tough questions,
You just can’t make this stuff up.
Joe Biden on Friday morning called into “The Howard Stern Show” in an unannounced appearance on the far-left shock jock’s SiriusXM show.
“I think I should leave now,” Biden joked as Howard Stern slobbered all over him.
“I know everyone’s going to think I’m doing a fake interview with you, but you are really here,” Stern said.The live interview went sideways after Joe Biden absurdly claimed he “got arrested standing on a porch with a black family” during the civil rights movement.
Biden recounted a conversation with his mother: “She said Joey, remember – true story – remember when they were desegregating…
A bill similar to Florida’s Parental Rights in Education law, dubbed by liberals as “Don’t Say Gay,” is progressing in the Alabama state legislature, according to a report from ABC News.
Reportedly, H.B. 130 would expand already-existing restrictions on discussions of sexual orientation and gender identity in schools from kindergarten through fifth grade. The current law states that teachers for this age group “shall not engage in classroom discussion or provide classroom instruction regarding sexual orientation or gender identity in a manner that is not age appropriate or developmentally appropriate for students in accordance with state standards."
The new legislation would expand this to eighth grade
Joe Biden again mused about fighting Donald Trump on the playground in a meandering interview with Howard Stern that took the president through family tragedies, morbid thoughts, and recollections of his time as a young widower in the Senate where his dating life became a 'celebrity issue.'
Biden said he would be 'happy' to meet Trump on the debate stage, after earlier casting doubt on the idea during, in a bizarre conversation with Stern on his Sirius XM that lasted more than an hour and hit highlights plucked from Biden's action-packed 81-year-old life story.
'Trump makes fun of me, right?' Biden told Stern. 'Here's the kind of guy that
We all got a laugh, chuckle, or at least a headshake from the video of the clueless young woman who had come down to NYU from Columbia. She knew people were protesting, and it had something to do with Palestine.
God knows we can use the laugh these days.
Similarly, there have been reports that many of the students at the big Columbia Camp-In are just there because it is cool to shout slogans, wave flags, and wear keffiyehs. You know, cuz it's counter-cultural and cutting edge and stuff. Those kids are having a high time raising hell and making friendship bracelets
President Joe Biden opened up about the dark times he endured after his first wife and daughter died in a car crash, describing to radio host Howard Stern on Friday how he contemplated suicide.
Biden sat for a surprise interview during a visit to New York.
In one of the most revealing passages he talked of his despair at the death of Neilia and their 13-month-old daughter Naomi in December 1972.'I don't drink. That's not a virtue. I just never drank,' he said.
'And I used to sit there and think to myself, I think I'll take out a bottle of Scotch.
The "criminal" trial of former president Donald J. Trump is underway, and there is much speculation about the merits of the case. We can dispense with that up front: the merits are practically nonexistent.
Partisan prosecutor Alvin Bragg, more showman than lawman, alleges that a 2016 transaction from the Trump Organization was deceptively categorized in its accounting. Even if that dubious claim were true, it is only a misdemeanor offense whose statute of limitations ran out long ago. So how is it that a felony trial is underway for an act that isn't a felony, and is well outside the statute of limitations?
After the release of this incriminating audio, federal agents raided J6 political prisoner Ryan Samsel’s jail cell and dragged him to solitary confinement in the hole of the Metropolitan Detention Center Brooklyn on Thursday night.
Earlier today, Alicia Powe at The Gateway Pundit exposed J6 insurrection leader Ray Epps lying to the FBI in a leaked interview to The Gateway Pundit.
Epps repeatedly lied to authorities saying he was listening to President Trump’s speech at the Ellipse when there is numerous video clips proving Epps was not being truthful.
Ray Epps was directing Trump supporters to the US Capitol for hours before the protests on Capitol Hill.
The issue of presidential immunity is being tested in the DC political Lawfare case against President Donald Trump.
As the Jack Smith prosecution claims President Trump tried to “overturn the results of the 2020 election,” the issue of presidential actions intended to secure & protect the legitimacy of election outcomes becomes a focus.
The legal counsel for President Trump has stated any action by the president to ensure election security falls within official acts, and is therefore subject to immunity from prosecution. The special counsel claims the act of reviewing an election outcome is a private benefit to the president and not part of presidential immunity.
Top aides to President Biden secretly hatched a plan this past fall to replace White House press secretary Karine Jean-Pierre by recruiting outside allies to nudge her out the door, The Post has learned.
Jean-Pierre, who made history in May 2022 by becoming the first black and first openly gay person to hold the position, had developed the exasperating habit of reading canned answers directly from a binder to reporters at her regular briefings — offering what her superiors viewed as a less-than-compelling pitch for the 81-year-old Biden as he readied his re-election campaign.
