South Dakota governor, a potential Trump

running mate, writes in new book about

South Dakota Gov. Kristi Noem — a potential running mate for presumptive Republican presidential candidate Donald Trump — is getting attention again. This time, it’s for a new book where she writes about killing an unruly dog, and a smelly goat, too.
The year was 1966, and Ronald Reagan was running for governor of California. A major part of his platform was to “clean up the mess at Berkeley” and other college campuses throughout the state that were experiencing protests and strikes over issues that included the military draft, civil rights and “women’s issues.”While that wasn’t on a scale of the pro-Hamas, anti-Israel, anti-America and anti-Jewish hatred we are witnessing now on several college campuses, Reagan’s response could instruct current college presidents and admissions officers to quell the unrest.
Hundreds of homes were flattened, ripped from their foundations, or had their roofs torn off when tornadoes barreled through two states.
The first twister hit Elkhorn, Nebraska, on the outskirts of Omaha, about 4 pm on Friday where it wrecked at least six homes - all of them newly built - and damaged dozens more.
'The whole neighborhood just to the north of us is pretty flattened,' Kim Woods, whose house was mostly spared, said. Terrifying footage showed an enormous tornado touching down with enormous storm clouds swirling while a siren hauntingly blares in the background. (Photos, Video)
Khymani James finally faced the consequences of his actions on Friday after multiple reports indicating he may have been expelled from Columbia University.
As RedState reported, videos of the self-proclaimed revolutionary who leads the pro-Hamas "encampment" on campus showed him calling for Jews to be exterminated. In his disturbing rantings, James claimed that "Zionists don't deserve to live" and said they should be exterminated like "nazis." Around 95 percent of Jews support the existence of a Jewish state, making them "Zionists." (X) After clips of his livestream went viral, James responded with a non-apology in which he essentially doubled down on his rhetoric while claiming that he was being victimized.
It's been a little confusing since arrests were made during the big pro-Hamas protest on the University of Texas-Austin campus on Wednesday. Are students free to return to campus?
Yes and no. It seems there was confusion on Friday. On Thursday, the Travis County district attorney dropped all criminal trespass charges against those who were arrested. On Friday, the university confirmed that the arrested students will not be allowed to freely be on campus.
University spokesman Mike Rosen released a statement Friday afternoon. Students will be allowed to complete courses for the semester but may only return to campus for academic reasons and to access university resources with approval.
A model-turned DEI manager who was fired because she posed in front of an Israeli flag emblazoned with swastikas is now suing because her First Amendment rights were 'violated'.
Mashal Sherzad, 29, was fired from her position as the diversity, equity and inclusion manager at the University of Minnesota because of now seemingly deleted pictures that she accidentally uploaded onto her public social media of her posing in front of the controversial flag.
Sherzad, who identified as Muslim, and who is in a relationship with a woman, began her role in October, 2023, and travelled to Barcelona to attend a pro-Palestinian rally just two months later.

When I’m sometimes foolish enough to state a political view while out in public -- you can’t be held in jail without bail for talking about January 6, can you? -- the person I’m speaking with typically responds, “Oh, so you must be a Republican!”
And I laugh heartily, and shake my head no.
The Democrats may very well want to off unborn babies; encourage adolescents to lop off their breasts or penises; counsel African-Americans to expect financial reparations from Whitey as penitence for past offenses; allow any Tom, Dick or Juan to waltz into this country unvetted

From Questioning Elections replies
The Associated Press (AP) admitted Friday that this week’s indictment of 18 Arizona Republicans is “part of a campaign” to “deter” Republicans from raising challenges and concerns about the integrity of the 2024 election.
Democratic Arizona Attorney General Kris Mayes indicted 18 individuals, 11 of whom she claims acted illegally when they convened as alternate electors to certify the Arizona election in favor of Donald Trump while challenges to the tight election’s initial results were ongoing.
Under the headline “Charges against Trump’s 2020 ‘fake electors’ are expected to deter a repeat this year,” AP’s Nicholas Riccardi wrote the indictment of 18 people “could help shape the landscape of challenges
A major witness in former President Donald Trump’s so-called “hush-money” trial admitted to inconsistencies in his previous testimony and suggested that a related FBI report “could be wrong.”
Former National Enquirer publisher David P*cker, who has testified in the case this week, was questioned by Trump attorney Emil Bove about statements he made to federal prosecutors in 2018 that the defense lawyer said were “inconsistent” with the former publisher’s testimony earlier this week.
The Trump team pointed out discrepancy between Mr. P*cker’s testimony this week and 2018 FBI interview. This week, the witness testified President Trump thanked him for handling two stories in a 2017 meeting at the Trump Tower.
Conservative states across the country—Florida, Iowa, Louisiana, Tennessee, Georgia, and Oklahoma—are taking border security matters into their own hands, proposing or passing legislation targeting illegal immigration.
The Oklahoma legislature just passed a bill designed to prohibit illegal immigrants from entering or living in the state.
HB 4156 states: “A person commits an impermissible occupation if the person is an alien and willfully and without permission enters and remains in the State of Oklahoma without having first obtained legal authorization to enter the United States
President Joe Biden suggested Friday he would have liked to fight former President Donald Trump when they were children, echoing similar rhetoric he has used, fantasizing about a physical confrontation with his rival.
During an appearance on Sirius XM’s Howard Stern Show on Friday, Stern and Biden were discussing Biden’s stuttering difficulties as a child when he said he would have liked to meet Trump “head to head” “in the neighborhood.” (X Video) “But by that time, I was over most of the stuttering, but like, for example, you know, I mean, Trump makes fun of me,” Biden said.

Donald Trump says he wants to hold a major campaign event at New York’s Madison Square Garden featuring Black hip-hop artists and athletes. His aides speak of making appearances in Chicago, Detroit and Atlanta with leaders of color and realigning American politics by flipping Democratic constituencies.
But five months before the first general election votes are cast, the former president’s campaign has little apparent organization to show for its ambitious plans.
The Trump campaign removed its point person for coalitions and hasn’t announced a replacement. The Republican Party’s minority outreach offices across the country have been shuttered and replaced by businesses that include a check-cashing store,
The United States Supreme Court reportedly signaled that they are considering granting Russell Alford, one of the few J6 defendants to refuse a plea deal, his petition for writ of certiorari, a move that only happens for roughly 1% of cases brought to SCOTUS.
(Snip) Alford is appealing the ruling from the trial court and Appeals Court that "passive, quiet and nonviolent conduct can be disorderly.” Though the Supreme Court may not be able to help Alford in his other charges of for “remaining” and “demonstrating” in the Capitol, this could undermine the convictions of thousands of peaceful protesters who were charged with disorderly conduct.
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.

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,
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.

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”

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.

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.
