On Columbia (and other university) protests - could federal funding of the universities who are continuing to enable antisemitic speech, gatherings and actions be suspended - including student loans and grants - until the universities prove they have reestablished a civil environment for intellectual discourse and learning? I can’t see how taxpayer funding through federal research grants, student grants (Pell) and subsidized student loans (that may eventually be forgiven) of this fomenting societal division is helpful or even legal. This situation is all Very disturbing to this American tax payer.
It's been obvious since last October that the Dems have a nightmare staring down at them: a 1968-style riot at the 2024 convention -- except this time, it's more like the 1930s, an antisemitic riot. This is one more factor that will probably contribute to Biden's well-deserved defeat, just as it undid the Republicans in 1940 and the Democrats in 1968.
Oliver, would it not be easier to just outright call for a ban on criticism of Israel? The around-the-edges-strongly-hinting has been getting old for weeks.
My brother-in-law is a retired Chicago cop. He has a great T-shirt he wears from time to time that has the Chicago Police Department logo on the front - and on the back it says "I kicked you old man's ass in 1968 - wanna go? That was before there were Communists running the City of Chicago. The DNC convention in Chicago this August will be a shit show of biblical proportions - and the cops will all be on the sidelines - guaranteed !
It's time for Katherine Maher to update her social media photo. You know those people you work with whose official work photo is at least 10 years old? And you're always thinking "c'mon grandpa, update it any time now." She's 41 and using a photo that's got to be minimum 15 years old. She looks like a college kid. Someone wrote yesterday or the day before that she looked hot. Must have been looking at the college kid shot.
I love how the Columbia president said her students “don’t know how to spell,” because that was easier than explaining their clownish “identity”nonsense. Progressive academia: garbage in, garbage out.
ANOTHER Trump Trial, and no one is interested, except the MSM WOKE anti Trump propagandist, and, of course, the White House.
Can we say, “ANOTHER POLITICAL WITCH HUNT”??!! All designed to pull Trump off the campaign trail, which will hopefully give Biden & his Handlers time to catch up in the polls! Maybe, IF they are lucky, Trump gets thrown in jail!
Good Lord, this particular “crime”happened SEVEN YEARS AGO, before the 2016 election! Followed by Hillary screeching, “Trump STOLE the election with Russia, Russia, Russia’s HELP” blah, blah, blah!
IF Trump had taken his loss to Biden in 2020, and gone home like any good politician, then NONE of these bullsh*t 91 charges would be happening now!
Problem is, Trump IS NOT and NEVER HAS BEEN a Swamp Dwelling Politician! He doesn’t follow their playbook!
Here’s my question for Olly. Are ANY of these Left Wing, Anti America, Pro HAMAS, Pro Palestine, Pro Iran ACTIVISTS going to be arrested??
Will ANY be charged with “Insurrection against America” who are encouraging “Death to America chants” and to “bring their machetes”?? ANY who defy police and loot, burn buildings and terrorize?? Or, are THEY just expressing their 1st Amendment Rights, hiding behind a Constitution THEY HATE??
I’ll bet NONE will be treated like the UNARMED J6 protestors! Will ANY of these activists be arrested & thrown in Federal jail, hunted down for being in the area, even if they didn’t participate, like the J6ers?? Or, “rioters” as the Left & RINOs claim! You know, worse than Pearl Harbor & 9/11!
AND, if some are arrested, will they be bailed out by Kamala, again, just like she did in the 2020 “mostly peaceful protest” which cost Insurance Companies $2 BILLION DOLLARS from all the damages they did” ???
What to do about anar-marxist-antisemites 'disrupting' DNC and RNC conventions, airports, highways.... and US? Not enough police to police 300+ million. Rule of law only works if the law is obeyed. Matters are being, and will continue to be, taken by the law abiding.

Ollie, Seth is a 3 on the annoying scale; you? 10 +. Now go away please.
Lol that Biden isn’t extreme left enough so they’re calling for violent protests. The fringes just keep getting fringe-ier.

Meanwhile at UF students are supporting Israel… https://www.instagram.com/reel/C56uG11R6Ok/?igsh=eHkzMjI3ZjlpdmJ1

I really wish Berliner had stayed and fought the suspension and probable firing. His story needs to be front and center.
Now NPR will just return to garbage as normal, one sided ,scripted stories and rapidly fall out of the news
From Chicago to Palestine, protesting is not a crime....
Well, likely get you shot in Gaza. And no, it's not a crime in Israel.

I’m not sure if calling Mises obscure is indicative of the ignorance plaguing the journalistic elite or an attempt to dismiss his arguments.

We’ll be watching, and we’ll see!
What's to watch? We already know the answers

“but I refuse to touch the stuff out of a deep fear that I’ll become as annoying as Seth Rogen.”
But, Wiseman, merely being as annoying as Seth Rogan would be an improvement in your case.
"Leftists are more unhappy" assumes a causality that is likely more complicated.
