It started as a rumor.

A Field Guide to Guaranteed, Certified, Definitely-Not-Antisemitic, We-Are-Hamas Global-Intifada Free-Range Encampments “I once again need to point out that the vast majority of antisemitism historically was not eliminationist, Nazi antisemitism, where the antisemites would murder you solely for your Jewish ancestry, regardless of anything else. In the USSR, you could generally get by with Jewish origins if you renounced Judaism, Zionism, etc, and took the party line. In Spain, the Inquisition only applied to Jews who practiced Judaism in secret. If you became a sincere Catholic, you were generally left alone. In other words, if you adopted the ideology the Jew-haters wanted you to adopt, they gave you a pass. In some cases, it was even an advantage, eg, the Church or State might put you in charge of persecuting other Jews. Why am I mentioning this? Because of the fools like the below who are saying that the fact that the Hamasniks on campus are ok with radical leftist individuals of Jewish descent shows that they aren't antisemitic. No, it shows that they aren't Nazis. You don't have to be a Nazi to be antisemitic. For that matter, if you are of Jewish descent and can prove that you sincerely want to join Hamas, it may very well take you. Again, they aren't Nazis, just a different variety of antisemite.” https://graboyes.substack.com/p/a-field-guide-to-guaranteed-certified

Is that the cause of his CTE?

Speaking of assessments, I assess that the report constitutes another friendly Biden stab in Israel’s back by the Biden administration. I would juxtapose the report with the judgment of John Spencer, the West Point modern urban warfare expert:

And illegals illegally driving a car illegally.

Well done:

Yeah, their kid’s coloring books are radical terrorist themed.

And it’s been estimated that as many ‘civilians’ participated in October 7th as Hamas terrorists.

Scientists have shown evidence that warm climate causes co2, not the other way around. High co2 levels mean more plant growth. When warming occurs, it doesn’t mean that the temperature goes to extreme highs. It means that nights and winters don’t cool as much, meaning the climate is more moderate. North Dakota recorded summertime temperatures of 113 degrees in the 1930s, so the temperature has actually cooled since then. Act accordingly.

Total waste.

Yep. That’s what I’ve been trying to tell you.

Ha! Was just reminded that Obama ate a dog.

Gilman can teach Fix how to beat Gilman.

Maybe it just reveals the shortcomings of DEI.

There were accusations of security risks.

On June 22 1982, Joe Biden was a Senator from Delaware and confronted then Israeli Prime Minister Menachem Begin during his Senate Foreign Relations committee testimony, threatening to cut off aid to Israel. Begin forcefully responded, “Don’t threaten us with cutting off your aid. It will not work. I am not a Jew with trembling knees. I am a proud Jew with 3,700 years of civilized history. Nobody came to our aid when we were dying in the gas chambers and ovens. Nobody came to our aid when we were striving to create our country. We paid for it. We fought for it. We died for it. We will stand by our principles. We will defend them. And, when necessary, we will die for them again, with or without your aid.” History never repeats itself, but it does rhyme.

There was a video of a young female complaining about Columbia cracking down on the protesters, saying they were only doing what the school had taught them to do.

Sounds like we had similar experiences. Doing your own dirty work. Rural youths didn’t have to learn sex education from school, either.

Indian tribes are notoriously communist, leftist. She was banned for speaking the truth about the significance of drug cartels on tribal lands.

The controversy over Noem’s actions are evidence of a disconnect with truth and reality. She took the responsibility to eliminate a threat to herself and her family: children and others. How many people have the gumption to do that today? A woman once described how her mother went out in the yard and wrung the chickens’ necks, and proceeded to prepare them for their chicken dinners. How much more acceptable would it have been in today’s society had she revealed that she had an abortion?

POSTED ON MAY 5, 2024 BY JOHN HINDERAKER IN LEFTISM, LIBERALS, PROTESTS WHO IS PAYING FOR THE PROTESTS? [UPDATED] The anti-Semitic and anti-American protests that have engulfed college campuses are among the most disgraceful events of our recent history. A lot of people want to know, who is paying for, supporting and coordinating these outrages? Politico has been looking into that question: Most of the liberals referred to in Politico’s story refused to comment, but the Tides Foundation is out and proud: Why are so many of America’s richest people viciously anti-Semitic and anti-American? That is probably one for the psychiatrist’s couch. UPDATE: Here’s one more: add Goldman Sachs, a notoriously left-wing operation, to the list. MORE: Here is another one–Lina Khan, Chairwoman of the Federal Trade Commission. To be fair, though, she is an “intellectual” supporter of anti-Semitism and anti-Americanism, not a financial supporter. A sample: It is hard to overstate how evil these people are. https://www.powerlineblog.com/archives/2024/05/who-is-paying-for-the-protests.php

“Despite the sanctions, Iranian oil exports have continued to surge, funding Iran's October 7 war on Israel -- in addition to more than 150 attacks on US troops in the Middle East by Iran's militias and proxies. The US administration, it appears, has actually been funding Iran to attack Israel and itself. In addition, Iran continues sending weapons to Russia, to help it crush Ukraine.” https://www.gatestoneinstitute.org/20613/iran-us-sanctions
