5.25 Freeform Discussion w/ Frank Camp

Different universities are dealing with pro-Hamas demonstrations in different ways.
At Chicago’s Northwestern University, the administration negotiated a deal with the protestors. The university agreed to hire two Palestinian faculty members and supply them each with five co-eds as wives, along with two alternate wives to replace any wives who turn out not to be virgins, and then three more alternate wives to replace the other wives who turn out not to be virgins, and then just more and more alternate wives because, after all, these girls are from Northwestern. In return for these concessions, the protestors agreed to leave campus long enough for the university’s Jewish students to make an escape attempt, whereupon the protestors will suddenly come back.
Other universities dealt with the demonstrations in ways that were more controversial. For instance, at the University of Florida, the administration called in the police to spray the protestors with tear gas and then mow them down with machine gun bullets, which many felt was a flagrant waste of tear gas.
At Columbia University in New York, school president Minouche Shafik hit on a hybrid method of de-escalation after protestors occupied a building, and refused to leave until Israel stopped the genocide so Hamas could murder all the Jews. Ms. Shafik began by begging the protestors to please, please go away so the other students could enjoy their graduation until they realized they had plunged themselves into crippling debt for no reason. When that didn’t work, Ms. Shafik threatened the protestors with suspension, then asked them to please, please forgive her for threatening them with suspension, then said she would never call in the police, then called in the police, then regretted calling the police, then attempted to make amends by offering an all-expenses paid fact-finding trip to Gaza but only to Queers for Palestine since that would save money on return trip tickets.
In the aftermath, Columbia has ordered an investigation into the root causes of the disturbances. The investigation will be led by Columbia Professor Mufassa Intifada Jihad who teaches a course on Decolonization in which students are taught how to video themselves committing rape and murder, then how to brag about committing rape and murder, then how to declare they never committed rape and murder, but if they had it would have been justified because hey, that’s Decolonization.
<h4><a href="https://www.dailywire.com/episode/ep-1179-target-liberty" target="_blank" rel="noopener">WATCH: The Andrew Klavan Show</a></h4>
In an interview with the New York Times, a former newspaper, Professor Mufassa Intifada Jihad told Times reporter Jihad Intifada Mohammed, “It’s a mystery why so many students majoring in Critical Jew Hatred should behave in such an unseemly manner. I suspect many of them are actually outside agitators or will be until we offer them faculty positions. Then they can join me in investigating why these protests were handled so badly that many Jewish students were able to get out alive.”
The protests are also causing headaches for the White House. President and Venal Houseplant Joe Biden reacted to the unrest by issuing a strong statement to the woman assigned to help him walk without falling over. The statement reads “Throughout my life I have always upheld those moral principles that would keep the money rolling in from the family influence peddling business. And today I stand firmly against antisemitism unless that’s all right now, in which case I’m for it. I condemn Hamas for wanting to commit genocide on the Jews, and I condemn the Jews for fighting back, which is also genocide if that word means something entirely different than it used to mean back in the days when words meant things. In conclusion, I will be sending Vice President Kamala Harris to New York because I just can’t stand that cackling laugh of hers for even another minute. Once she’s there, I will ask her to resolve this unrest just as she helped close the border. Then I’ll send her to pretend to do some other thing because really that noise is driving me crazy.”
In Israel, Prime Minister Benyamin Netanyahu also issued a statement, saying “All Israelis know we can rely on the gentile nations to treat us with their customary level of kindness, and that’s why we’ll be killing anything that even looks at us crosswise for the foreseeable future.”

CAMBRIDGE, Mass. — A Jewish university student needed a police escort to enter the Massachusetts Institute of Technology’s anti-Israel encampment on Friday.
Shabbos Kestenbaum, a student at Harvard Divinity School, spoke at a pro-Israel rally across the street from the encampment hosted by the Israeli American Council before deciding to cross the street and enter the encampment.
Kestenbaum walked up to the encampment and was denied entry by a keffiyeh-wearing man blocking the perimeter of the protest. Police eventually agreed to escort him into the encampment, according to video taken by The Daily Wire. 
“I want to let all of you know that you’re not going to intimidate Jewish people,” he told the campers. “You can hide behind your masks as long as you want, we will not be scared.”

“All of you should be ashamed of yourselves,” he added. “This is the state of being Jewish in America, I need police to exercise my First Amendment right.”
Kestenbaum is a student at Harvard University, but spoke at the MIT counter-demonstration in support of Jewish students there.
“After delivering a speech imploring Jewish students not to be afraid of their antisemitic classmates, I crossed the road to exercise my First Amendment rights and enter the pro-Hamas encampments,” Kestenbaum told The Daily Wire. 
“Protestors formed a human chain to keep me out, and initially refused to allow me in even after police asked them to,” he added. “Eventually, I required a personal police escort to walk through the encampment, all the while being followed by pro-Hamas terrorist students.”
Kestenbaum, along with other Harvard University students <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/news/jewish-students-sue-harvard-for-failing-to-stop-anti-semitism-while-threatening-discipline-for-fatphobia">filed a lawsuit</a> against the Ivy League in January, accusing it of selectively enforcing its policies to avoid protecting Jewish students from harassment and enabling anti-Semitism.
“Whether it’s Harvard, MIT, Columbia, or anywhere else, antisemitic thugs have taken over college campuses,” Kestenbaum said. “They have no respect for the First Amendment or religious freedom and should be immediately thrown out of any university they currently illegally occupy.”<a href="https://dw-wp-production.imgix.net/2024/05/IMG_7389.heic"><img decoding="async" class="alignnone size-full wp-image-732743" src="https://dw-wp-production.imgix.net/2024/05/IMG_7389.heic" alt="" /></a>
MIT erected fences around the encampment ahead of the pro-Israel rally across the street and had a heavy police presence on Friday afternoon near the encampment. Outside of the encampment, Jewish demonstrators sang songs, and waved American and Israeli flags.
Many pro-Israel and pro-America flags were hung on the new fences around the encampment, as well as signs mocking the encampment. One such sign read, “In this camp they believe: Propaganda is truth, resistance is justified, rape is resistance, harassment is free speech, Israelis are not human, martydom is glorious.”
Inside the encampment, students had many of their own signs, including labels on tents with locations in Israel including Tzfat, Jaffa, and Haifa.

When it comes to the college protesters roiling America&#8217;s campuses and roiling America more generally, it&#8217;s time for Americans, and particularly their political class, to pick a side.
There are only two sides to this particular argument. One side despises America and the West, and the other side really likes America and the West. That binary decision is not particularly tough.
It is happening on college campuses all over America.
You get to pick which side you think the American president ought to stand on and which side you think the American people ought to stand on.
The first side includes a UCLA protest spokesperson <a href="https://twitter.com/Gabby_Hoffman/status/1786042514518032570">saying</a>, “I think, given the fact that the University of California is founded on colonialism, it&#8217;s inherently a violent institution. There needs to be an addressment (sic) of U.S. imperialism and its ties to the UC system, and how it perpetuates war and violence abroad. Not only abroad, but also here locally.”
The case they are making is that the United States is bad. When they say the University of California is founded on colonialism, what they really mean is that the United States is founded on colonialism, imperialism, exploitation, and rape of the native peoples — and all the rest of this garbage.
That&#8217;s what they mean. They mean the United States is bad when they say that what&#8217;s happening in Gaza is connected to this.
What they really mean is there is a coalition of people who are pseudo-oppressed, who are losers in life, who have now decided that the American system, the Western system, and meritocracy, are bad. Anybody who is successful in the system has designed the system for their own benefit.
<h4><a href="https://www.dailywire.com/episode/ep-1956-pick-a-damn-side-member-exclusive" target="_blank" rel="noopener">WATCH: The Ben Shapiro Show</a></h4>
This is the intersectional conspiracy theory taken to the extreme. And what it really means is these people — who are the most privileged people in human history, sitting on a beautiful campus at the University of California at the most beautiful time of the year, outdoors, enjoying their lives on the public dime because tuition is subsidized at UCLA by the state — believe they are the victims of American society or standing in solidarity with the victims of American society. 
The complaint is not about Israel. You don&#8217;t even hear the word Israel once in that statement.
The complaint is about the United States.
That&#8217;s one side. They hate America. They burn the flag. They take it down. They put up the Palestinian flag because the Palestinian flag has become the rallying point and tip of the spear in favor of this perverse view of the universe.
This has happened because revolutionary movements need to show skin in the game. The way they show skin in the game is by picking the worst victims, people who are least sympathetic, and declare they have sympathy for those victims.
That’s why the Black Lives Matter movement was founded originally around the death of Michael Brown, who tried to shoot a police officer before he was killed by a police officer. If you could declare your fealty to a false narrative about Michael Brown, suggesting that he died at the hands of American white supremacy, then you could sell those people anything.
The same thing is true with regard to the Palestinian cause. The Palestinians are a perfect example of a group of people who have elected terrorists, who are sympathetic to terrorists, who support terrorism, who hate Jews, who hate America, and who have made their own bed. They&#8217;ve been offered everything and they&#8217;ve taken nothing. They&#8217;ve decided they&#8217;re not going to take any deal over and over. Every dollar that has gone into Gaza has been used to build up a terror epicenter.
And these people declare solidarity with Palestinians because if you can declare solidarity with people who are obviously not victims and declare they are the victims of Western imperialism, you can declare virtually anything. That is why the keffiyeh and the Palestinian flag are substitutes for the American flag.
That’s side A. You can pick side A, but those people don&#8217;t love America.
Then, there’s side B.
The second side includes the frat boys at the University of Mississippi who showed up to sing the Star-Spangled Banner in front of people who hate the United States. This side includes the frat boys at the University of North Carolina who actually tried to prevent the American flag from being brought down. It includes people like my friend Ami Horowitz, who went to a protest at City University of New York with an American flag and got beaten up for the privilege.
You can either side with the statue of George Washington or with the people who deface the statue of George Washington.
<h4><a href="https://onelink.to/dwapp" target="_blank" rel="noopener">CLICK HERE TO GET THE DAILY WIRE APP</a></h4>
But you do have to pick a side.
And if you pick the side that hates America, you should be held accountable, politically and otherwise. It turns out you should, in fact, love this country. It is an amazing country. It is the greatest country in the history of mankind. If you don&#8217;t, then there should, in fact, be some public opprobrium for you.
It doesn&#8217;t mean you don&#8217;t have a right to say these things. You do have the absolute right to say whatever dumbass thing you want to say. It&#8217;s the United States of America.
That does not mean people have to look at you as though you are anything but a moral idiot.
And these people are moral idiots.

In the late 90&#8217;s, a veteran and father of three named Norman Browning <a href="https://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-13371505/baton-rouge-school-sports-coach-racial-tensions-wealthy-white-residents-city.html" target="_blank" rel="noopener">took</a> a job as a volunteer coach at Woodlawn High School in East Baton Rouge, Louisiana. Browning had been educated by Baton Rouge&#8217;s public schools and he wanted to give back to the community. But very quickly, he realized that Woodlawn was very different from the school it used to be.
For one thing, there wasn&#8217;t much discipline. Teachers didn&#8217;t have close relationships with parents, and didn&#8217;t seem particularly interested in doing their jobs. Test scores were abysmal.
Additionally, demographics had shifted dramatically. Students were poorer than they used to be. And there wasn&#8217;t much of the fabled &#8220;diversity&#8221; that we&#8217;re told is so important. More than half of the student body was black. Meanwhile, Baton Rouge and its schools were becoming increasingly violent. (Currently it&#8217;s one of the ten most dangerous cities in the country).
Here&#8217;s just one recent example of a common sight in Baton Rouge schools:
<iframe loading="lazy" title="HS" width="500" height="281" src="https://www.youtube.com/embed/fTpgtQHK_G0?feature=oembed" frameborder="0" allow="accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture; web-share" referrerpolicy="strict-origin-when-cross-origin" allowfullscreen></iframe>
So there&#8217;s a brawl in the school, and then the parents show up and they get involved in the brawl too. And then a gun turns up, and the cops aren&#8217;t remotely surprised by any of this. This kind of thing has been happening consistently in Baton Rouge for the past decade. As the Daily Mail <a href="https://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-13371505/baton-rouge-school-sports-coach-racial-tensions-wealthy-white-residents-city.html" target="_blank" rel="noopener">reports</a>, on a single day in 2013, Browning observed &#8220;as many as six separate fights between unruly students.&#8221;
Instead of shaking his head and moving on — which he very easily could have done — Browning decided on a different course of action. As the Daily Mail reports, Browning decided to help lead a breakaway movement to effectively secede from East Baton Rouge parish and incorporate a new city called St. George. This new city would have schools that admit students who actually want to learn, and teachers who want to teach.
<h4><a href="https://www.dailywire.com/episode/ep-1361-the-matt-walsh-show" target="_blank" rel="noopener">WATCH: The Matt Walsh Show</a></h4>
The idea was a longshot. Other movements to incorporate new cities and secede, most notably the effort by Buckhead to secede from Atlanta in Georgia, have <a href="https://www.atlantanewsfirst.com/2023/03/02/buckhead-cityhood-bill-fails-georgia-senate/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">fallen</a> short. That&#8217;s mainly because local politicians — including conservatives — have stood in the way. 
But — after a campaign that took the better part of a decade — in 2019, voters finally approved a ballot initiative to create St. George. What followed were years of legal battles that ended last week, when the Louisiana Supreme Court ruled in a <a href="https://www.lasc.org/opinions/2024/23-1108.C_23-1118.C.OPN.pdf" target="_blank" rel="noopener">4-3 decision</a> that St. George can indeed incorporate. St. George will be a 60-square mile area, with a population of more than 85,000 residents. (For comparison, Baton Rouge is 76 square miles, with a population of more than 200,000). 
That&#8217;ll make St. George one of the largest cities in the state. They&#8217;ll have their own mayor, public services, and city council. Watch:
<iframe loading="lazy" title="002 St George City" width="500" height="281" src="https://www.youtube.com/embed/iPTBobeE0Hw?feature=oembed" frameborder="0" allow="accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture; web-share" referrerpolicy="strict-origin-when-cross-origin" allowfullscreen></iframe>
A key part of the Louisiana Supreme Court&#8217;s ruling is that, contrary to what Baton Rouge claimed, St. George has the financial means to be self-sustaining. And that&#8217;s not surprising. Taxpayers in the area that&#8217;s now known as St. George <a href="http://stgeorgelouisiana.com/faq/#:~:text=George's%20taxpayers%20provide%20two%2Dthirds,that%20government's%20expense%20in%20return." target="_blank" rel="noopener">pay</a> roughly two-thirds of the total tax revenue of the government of East Baton Rouge. But they receive only about one-third of the government&#8217;s expenses in return. And, despite paying all these taxes, St. George residents haven&#8217;t been <a href="http://stgeorgelouisiana.com/about-us/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">represented</a> in the mayor&#8217;s office in Baton Rouge in modern history.
In other words, St. George is vital for East Baton Rouge&#8217;s economy. And in return for all the tax revenue St. George has generated, Baton Rouge has done basically nothing for St. George. They made their neighborhood more dangerous and their schools even worse. And on top of that, the people of St. George have no real representation in local government. So now East Baton Rouge isn&#8217;t going to get that tax revenue anymore, or at least not anywhere near the same amount. In fact, St. George residents are currently <a href="https://www.wbrz.com/news/st-george-leaders-say-they-want-east-baton-rouge-to-return-residents-tax-dollars" target="_blank" rel="noopener">seeking</a> tens of millions of dollars in back taxes that they&#8217;ve paid to the East Baton Rouge parish government since 2019.
You have to wonder why this isn&#8217;t happening more often. Governments that don&#8217;t provide basic services or representation for their citizens don&#8217;t deserve tax money from their citizens. That&#8217;s a pretty intuitive principle. And there&#8217;s no rule that says you can&#8217;t make your own city if you want to. Quite the opposite. The right of free association is a fundamental part of the constitution. So why isn&#8217;t this more commonplace?
One reason might be that anyone who attempts to incorporate a sane, high-functioning city will immediately be defamed as a racist. Predictably, that&#8217;s been the main reaction from the Left to the incorporation of St. George. There has been no reckoning about the failures of Baton Rouge&#8217;s leadership whatsoever. Here for example is a former president of the NAACP in Baton Rouge, reacting to the ruling of the Louisiana Supreme Court:
<iframe loading="lazy" title="003 Better Schools or Racial Decision" width="500" height="281" src="https://www.youtube.com/embed/tVFtPg1U_lA?feature=oembed" frameborder="0" allow="accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture; web-share" referrerpolicy="strict-origin-when-cross-origin" allowfullscreen></iframe>
The NAACP guy starts off by saying that some of the people leading the secession movement are on the school board, so they&#8217;re responsible for the failing schools. Apparently these school board members should have used their vast influence in order to prevent brawls from constantly breaking out. They also should have forced the students to be smarter, the teachers to care more about their jobs, and parents to actually parent their children.
Then his argument devolves into accusing everyone in St. George of racism. They didn&#8217;t stay and try to fix East Baton Rouge&#8217;s broken school system, so they must be bigots who just want to get away from black people.
This is one of the stock responses you&#8217;ll hear on the Left in response to the secession of St. George. For example, on Twitter, a &#8220;black activist&#8221; named Samuel Sinyangwe <a href="https://x.com/samswey/status/1785826822388686961" target="_blank" rel="noopener">wrote</a>: &#8220;They’re &#8216;seceding&#8217; from a majority-Black city to create a whites-only enclave in Louisiana.&#8221;
Just as a factual matter, what this activist is saying about the new city isn&#8217;t true. It&#8217;s not a &#8220;whites-only enclave&#8221; because there are black people living in it. Specifically, <a href="https://apnews.com/article/new-louisiana-city-st-george-f06a362f9d2e10d7e8b559d4fa50563a" target="_blank" rel="noopener">12%</a> of the population is black, which is roughly the same percentage of black people you&#8217;ll find in Barack Obama&#8217;s preferred island, Martha&#8217;s Vineyard. It also mirrors the overall percentage of black people in the United States at large, which <a href="https://www.pewresearch.org/social-trends/fact-sheet/facts-about-the-us-black-population/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">stands</a> at around 14%. In other words, these activists calling St. George a &#8220;whites-only enclave&#8221; are also, in effect, calling the entire country a &#8220;whites-only enclave.&#8221;
Additionally, Woodlawn High School, which I mentioned earlier, is <a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Woodlawn_High_School_(East_Baton_Rouge_Parish,_Louisiana)" target="_blank" rel="noopener">within</a> the limits of the new city of St. George. This school, with a lot of black students attending, is not being abandoned by this new city. The point is to improve its leadership so that there&#8217;s more learning and less fighting.
Of course, if you let these activists talk a little more, it becomes very clear what they&#8217;re really upset about. They&#8217;re not upset about racism or whatever. They know that East Baton Rouge, like so many other cities in this country, is dysfunctional — and no sane person would want to continue funding it with their tax dollars. What bothers these activists is that their source of funding is about to go to zero. Their cash cow is abandoning them. They will have to be productive for once and solve their own problems, without taking other people&#8217;s money and wasting it.
That NAACP president in Baton Rouge eventually gets around to admitting this. Listen:
<iframe loading="lazy" title="004 Taxes Taken From Baton Rouge" width="500" height="281" src="https://www.youtube.com/embed/o5Uxx5Po3P8?feature=oembed" frameborder="0" allow="accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture; web-share" referrerpolicy="strict-origin-when-cross-origin" allowfullscreen></iframe>
&#8220;It&#8217;s pulling a lot of the resources and the tax bases from Baton Rouge. Stuff that is used to keep our city stable. &#8230; This is going to be paid for on the backs of poor black folks.&#8221;
There&#8217;s finally some honesty there. It&#8217;s true that, without St. George, Baton Rouge will probably have a lot of financial problems to deal with. But the people responsible for those problems are not living in St. George. They&#8217;re running Baton Rouge, which is losing population by the day. As the Louisiana Supreme Court <a href="https://www.lasc.org/opinions/2024/23-1108.C_23-1118.C.OPN.pdf" target="_blank" rel="noopener">said in its decision</a>: &#8220;Baton Rouge has arguably experienced a windfall by collecting taxes in St. George without returning proportionate money and services.
Incorporation will allow the money paid by St. George citizens to stay in St. George &#8230; The record establishes the population of St. George is increasing. Conversely, the population of Baton Rouge is declining.&#8221;
As St. George creates its new school system and builds out its infrastructure, it&#8217;s very likely that Baton Rouge&#8217;s population will continue to decline. That&#8217;s why, already, there&#8217;s an <a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=HJ6TvNk46qI&amp;t=27s" target="_blank" rel="noopener">effort</a> by Baton Rouge activists to get the Louisiana Supreme Court to reconsider its decision.
But that will probably fail, as it should. For one thing, some of the economic success of St. George will almost certainly benefit Baton Rouge in a variety of ways. St. George will keep many more people in the area, and the residents there will still pay for some services provided by the government of East Baton Rouge.
But more importantly, if St. George continues to thrive, it will send a very clear signal to dysfunctional governments all over the country. And that signal is: Stop wasting our tax dollars, or we&#8217;ll leave — and we&#8217;ll take our tax dollars with us. That&#8217;s how our system was always supposed to work. Our country was founded on the principle that governments cannot lawfully tax people without representing them or working for their benefit. And with the secession of St. George from the capital city of Louisiana, for the first time in recent memory, that principle is back. Hopefully there&#8217;s much more to come.

Today on the Matt Walsh Show, a community in Louisiana is accused of racism after seceding from a crumbling, crime-infested city and forming their own. Is this a solution that could be adopted nationwide? Also, the frat boy uprising continues in response to the leftist protests on college campuses across the country. The Biden Administration seems intent on promoting marijuana usage as much as possible. Why is that? And there has been yet another rash of pit bull attacks. You may think you know my opinion about it. But I might surprise you.

College Students Deserve to Have a Graduation

Today on the Matt Walsh Show, a community in Louisiana is accused of racism after seceding from a crumbling, crime-infested city and forming their own. Is this a solution that could be adopted nationwide? Also, the frat boy uprising continues in response to the leftist protests on college campuses across the country. The Biden Administration seems intent on promoting marijuana usage as much as possible. Why is that? And there has been yet another rash of pit bull attacks. You may think you know my opinion about it. But I might surprise you.

Universities that selected presidents with academic track records that consist largely of political screeds about oppression are now melting down because of students who say they&#8217;re oppressed, a review of academic papers shows.
At UCLA, Provost Darnell Hunt donned a mask and sat on the ground with protesters, who told him that police are on the side of “Zionists,” and that police are going to commit “brutality” against them. After he said he had &#8220;to go,” they screamed “shame” at him.

Hunt made his career opining on police brutality and racism in the aftermath of riots triggered by purported brutality against Rodney King, writing a book called &#8220;Screening the Los Angeles &#8216;Riots&#8217;: Race, Seeing, and Resistance.&#8221; The titles of his academic papers, below, give an idea of his area of expertise:
<ul>
<li>Reclaiming UCLA (lamenting that &#8220;a county that is 9.8% African American — now has a lower percentage of black freshman than either crosstown rival USC or UC Berkeley&#8221;)</li>
<li>Channeling Blackness: Studies on Television and Race in America</li>
<li>Birth of a Nation&#8217;hood: Gaze, Script, and Spectacle in the O.J. Simpson Case</li>
</ul>
And at Sacramento State, President Luke Wood went back on a threat to remove an anti-Israel encampment, instead allowing them to remain <a href="https://statehornet.com/2024/04/president-luke-wood-extends-encampment-approval-on-second-day-of-pro-palestine-protests/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">“indefinitely</a>.&#8221; Wood has made his career writing about student activism and the oppression of blacks, authoring the book “The Sources of American Student Activism” and papers such as:
<ul>
<li>Political Consciousness and Student Activism</li>
<li>Racelighting Black, Indigenous, and People of Color in Education</li>
<li>Treat Them Like Human Beings: Black Children’s Experiences With Racial Microaggressions in Early Childhood Education During COVID-19</li>
<li>I Love My Hair: The Weaponizing of Black Girls Hair by Educators in Early Childhood Education</li>
<li>Black Men in Higher Education</li>
</ul>
The review suggests that the unrest on college campuses is not the result of a small subversive faction, but rather one in line with the ideology of those at the highest ranks of the institutions. The papers, focused heavily on social sciences, also raise questions about the real-world utility of the work of those at even the highest levels of academia.
At Rutgers University, an anti-Semitic protester told a Jewish student that “Hitler would have loved you.” Rutgers leadership went on to give in to many of the protesters’ demands, such as <a href="https://twitter.com/sfmcguire79/status/1786417078058004840/photo/3" target="_blank" rel="noopener">agreeing</a> “to develop a plan for the creation of an Arab Cultural Center with designated physical space and a hiring plan for administrators and staff,” and to “develop training sessions on anti-Palestinian, anti-Arab, and anti-Muslim racism for all RU administrators and staff.”
Rutgers president Jonathan Holloway — a former professor of African American Studies at Yale — has contributed to the academic world through papers such as:
<ul>
<li>Race, slavery, and Ideology in Colonial North America</li>
<li>Resistance and African American identity before the Civil War</li>
<li>The Black Body As Archive of Memory (which “considers the film Shaft and how it was, from beginning to end, one extended middle finger to white America”)</li>

President <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/topic/joe-biden" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Joe Biden</a> announced on Friday that he would make certain illegal immigrants eligible for government-backed health care coverage, prompting criticism from Republicans who said it was a “slap in the face” to American citizens. 
Biden said that illegal immigrants in the United States who had received Deferred Action for Childhood Arrival (DACA) status because they had been taken into the country with their parents, would be able to now enroll in Obamacare. In a statement, Biden said that the illegal immigrants might be eligible for financial assistance to give them coverage. 
“While President Biden continues to call on Congress to provide a pathway to citizenship to Dreamers and others, he is committed to protecting and preserving DACA and providing Dreamers with the opportunities and support they need to succeed, including access to affordable, quality health care coverage,” Biden <a href="https://www.whitehouse.gov/briefing-room/statements-releases/2024/05/03/fact-sheet-biden-harris-administration-expands-health-coverage-to-daca-recipients/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">said</a>. 
The decision was made possible by a Biden admin rule changing the definition of “lawfully present” to include DACA recipients for Obamacare and will go into effect just before the presidential election as DACA recipients will be able to register for coverage on November 1. 
“Thanks to the Biden-Harris Administration’s actions, today’s final rule will remove the prohibition on DACA recipients’ eligibility for Affordable Care Act coverage for the first time, and is projected to help more than 100,000 young people gain health insurance,” the president added. 
The decision prompted harsh criticism from conservatives, including former President Donald Trump. 
“This is unfair and unsustainable,” Trump campaign spokesperson Karoline Leavitt <a href="https://twitter.com/_StephanieMyers/status/1786442978032267429" target="_blank" rel="noopener">said</a>. “Joe Biden‘s handouts for illegal immigrants are especially devastating to Black Americans, Hispanic Americans, and union workers who are forced to watch their jobs and public resources stolen by people who illegally entered our country.”

“President Trump will put America and the American worker first. He will seal the border, stop the invasion, and expand economic opportunity for American citizens, not illegal aliens,” Leavitt added. 
Last summer, Republicans in both the House and Senate <a href="https://tiffany.house.gov/media/editorials-letters-and-articles/gop-lawmakers-urge-biden-admin-not-fund-healthcare-illegal" target="_blank" rel="noopener">urged</a> Biden to not finalize the rule.
On Friday, Senator J.D. Vance (R-OH) said that Biden should be focusing on getting the border under control and reducing inflation instead of giving benefits to illegal immigrants. 
“There’s an unprecedented crisis at our southern border, we&#8217;ve got major conflicts around the world, and families all across Ohio are getting crushed by inflation,&#8221; he said. &#8220;Joe Biden&#8217;s response to all this is to give your hard-earned money away to illegal immigrants in the form of taxpayer-funded healthcare. This is a slap in the face to every hardworking American who plays by the rules, and it would never happen if Donald Trump were president.”

The United States accused Russia this week of illegally deploying chemical weapons on the battlefield in Ukraine and announced the sanctioning of hundreds of individuals and entities tied to the weapons.
The State Department <a href="https://www.state.gov/imposing-new-measures-on-russia-for-its-full-scale-war-and-use-of-chemical-weapons-against-ukraine-2/">said</a> that Russia violated the Chemical and Biological Weapons Control and Warfare Elimination Act of 1991 (CBW Act) by using the chemical weapon chloropicrin against Ukrainian troops.
Chloropicrin is a &#8220;choking agent&#8221; that was commonly used during World War I, The New York Times <a href="https://www.nytimes.com/2024/05/02/world/europe/us-russia-chemical-weapons-ukraine.html">reported</a>, and is banned from being used in war, according to the treaty that even Russia signed.
The State Department said that the use of the chemical weapons &#8220;is not an isolated incident and is probably driven by Russian forces’ desire to dislodge Ukrainian forces from fortified positions and achieve tactical gains on the battlefield.&#8221;
The sanctions were being enacted against individuals and entities connected to Russia’s chemical and biological weapons programs.
&#8220;The United States will continue to use the tools at its disposal to disrupt support for Russia’s military-industrial base and curtail Russia’s use of the international financial system to further its war against Ukraine,&#8221; the statement said. &#8220;We continue to stand in solidarity with Russians striving for a more democratic future and with Ukrainians defending their homeland from Russia’s aggression.&#8221;

Ukraine has reported well over a thousand instances of suspected chemical attacks by Russian forces since Russia&#8217;s invasion more than 26 months ago.
The Times reported that the use of the illegal weapons has accelerated recently as Russia looks to break through lines and make rapid gains before long-awaited U.S. military assistance arrives on the frontlines which is expected to a significant boost for Ukraine.

Billionaire hedge fund manager Bill Ackman said on Friday that the U.S. needs to reexamine allowing foreign contributions to U.S. universities in light of the recent pro-Hamas protests that sprung up on campuses across the country.
His comments come as illegal encampments popped up on major college campuses in what numerous law enforcement entities have said was a <a href="https://abcnews.go.com/US/nyc-officials-allege-agitators-opting-columbia-university-protest/story?id=109821934">coordinated</a> movement by outside agitators who were not connected to the universities.
Despite professional outside agitators being a significant source of the mayhem, university leaders were largely weak in quelling the uprisings on their campuses — as exemplified by Columbia University where extremists managed to take over an entire building.
&#8220;Foreign governments are not allowed to own our radio and TV stations for fear they might be used for anti-American propaganda and influence,&#8221; Ackman posted on X. &#8220;The Congress just banned TikTok for the same reason.&#8221;

&#8220;Why then do we allow foreign governments to give money to our universities, funds that are used to set up Middle Eastern, Asian studies and other programs which can be designed to fit the desired narratives of the donors?&#8221; he asked.
Ackman said that will students should learn more about the Middle East and Asia, it was a &#8220;big mistake&#8221; to have these programs &#8220;funded, influenced, and sometimes designed by foreign governments&#8221; who are U.S. adversaries.

&#8220;Our universities have a profound impact on our younger generation at a time when they are particularly vulnerable to being manipulated, that is, away from home for the first time, and young and naive,&#8221; he continued. &#8220;Notably, these foreign governments concentrate their ‘gifts’ to our most elite institutions where they can influence our next generation of leaders — judges, politicians, members of the media and more. Based on recent events on campus, this seems to have been a bad strategy for America. We need to rethink this.&#8221;

The Biden administration has told <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/topic/qatar" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Qatar</a> to expel the Hamas&#8217; leaders from its country if the terrorist organization continues to reject a generous deal offered by Israel.
The Washington Post <a href="https://www.washingtonpost.com/national-security/2024/05/03/us-qatar-hamas-hostages-ceasefire/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">reported</a> that Secretary of State Antony Blinken delivered the message to Qatari Prime Minister Mohammed bin Abdulrahman Al Thani last month.
Qatar has advised Hamas&#8217; leaders, including its top leader, Ismail Haniyeh, that they should start thinking about living somewhere else because of mounting U.S. pressure as the group has continually stalled and rejected negotiations.
“We are determined to get a cease-fire that brings the hostages home and to get it now, and the only reason that wouldn’t be achieved is because of Hamas,” Blinken said in Israel this week. “There is a proposal on the table, and as we’ve said: no delays, no excuses. The time is now.”
Israel has signaled that its military operation against the terrorist group inside Gaza will not stop until the group is thoroughly destroyed.
While President Joe Biden has tried to appease the anti-Semites in his party by at times appearing to <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/news/biden-demands-israel-enact-immediate-ceasefire-against-hamas-terrorists-seems-to-blame-israel-for-hostages-not-being-freed" target="_blank" rel="noopener">blame</a> Israel for the hostages being released, he has &#8220;grown more impatient with Hamas,&#8221; the report said.
There is strong bipartisan support in the U.S. Congress to force the U.S. to reevaluate its relationship with Qatar if it does not apply serious pressure on the terrorist group.

The shift by the Biden administration comes as the U.S. also is moving fighter jets, armed drones, and other military assets out of the U.A.E. and to Qatar to get around restrictions that the U.A.E. placed on the U.S. earlier this year.
The U.A.E. <a href="https://www.wsj.com/politics/national-security/u-s-shuffles-military-assets-in-middle-east-after-gulf-pushback-e728e357" target="_blank" rel="noopener">told</a> the U.S. that it had to notify the country of military operations that it was conducting in the region in Iraq and Yemen if operations involved U.S. forces stationed in the U.A.E.
“Restrictions have been imposed on strike missions against targets in Iraq and Yemen,” a U.A.E. official told The Wall Street Journal. “Those restrictions are coming from a place of self-protection.”

Former President <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/topic/donald-trump" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Donald Trump</a> said during an interview this week that he no longer supports a two-state solution between Israel and the Palestinians following the October 7 massacre.
Trump made the remarks during an interview with TIME Magazine while discussing Israel&#8217;s military operation against the Hamas terrorist organization.
&#8220;I&#8217;m not sure a two-state solution anymore is gonna work,&#8221; Trump said. &#8220;Everybody was talking about two states, even when I was there.&#8221;
&#8220;There was a time when I thought two states could work,&#8221; he continued. &#8220;Now I think two states is going to be very, very tough. I think it&#8217;s going to be much tougher to get. I also think you have fewer people that liked the idea. You had a lot of people that liked the idea four years ago. Today, you have far fewer people that like that idea. There may not be another idea.&#8221;
Trump noted that Palestinian children are taught to hate Israel from the day that they are born, which makes achieving peace nearly impossible.
He also made clear that if Iran were to attack Israel, there is no question that he would defend and protect Israel.
Trump&#8217;s remarks about a Palestinian state come as Israeli leaders have also shut down the idea because of the obvious security risk that it would create for Israel.

“For 30 years, I am very consistent and I’m saying something very simple, this conflict is not on the lack of a state of Palestine, but the existence of a state, the Jewish State,” <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/news/netanyahu-israel-opposes-palestinian-state-in-any-postwar-scenario" target="_blank" rel="noopener">said</a> Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu earlier this year.
“In the future, the state of Israel has to control the entire area from the river to the sea,” he said. “This truth I say to our American friends, and I also stopped the attempt to impose on us a reality that will jeopardize us.”
“A prime minister in Israel has to be able to say ‘no’ even to the best of friends, to say ‘no’ when you need to and to say ‘yes’ when you can,” he continued.

“I know my mom was involved!” Spears wrote. &#8220;I haven’t talked to her in 6 months and she called right after it happened before the news [came] out! I was set up just like she did way back when. … I can’t stand her! I honestly don’t care, I will say it!”
News of the injury followed a TMZ <a href="https://www.tmz.com/2024/05/02/britney-spears-fight-injured-boyfriend-paul-soliz-chateau-marmont-mental-breakdown/">report</a> that <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/news/britney-spears-claims-the-news-is-fake-after-report-of-altercation-at-hotel">Spears</a> “got into a huge fight” with her boyfriend Soliz, “and she ended up out of control, crying, possibly cut, and almost driven away in an ambulance.”

At the hotel, “there was some sort of disturbance and someone called police, claiming a woman matching Britney’s description was harassing and threatening hotel employees and guests,” the report said. “Officers showed up shortly after 10:30 PM, but they saw no signs of trouble and left.”
The report said that Spears and her boyfriend had escaped back to their hotel room where they continued partying until “they ended up getting into a huge altercation that we’re told turned physical” with a possible injury to Britney’s leg.
<a href="https://people.com/britney-spears-posts-video-twisted-ankle-paramedics-hotel-incident-8642967">People magazine</a> said it has confirmed the singer and Soliz had a fight, but no other details were released.

Philadelphia Eagles QB <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/news/eagles-jalen-hurts-becomes-highest-paid-nfl-player-in-history-report" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Jalen Hurts</a> made a huge donation to local schools in the Philadelphia area that will definitely go to benefit thousands of kids.
The 25-year-old NFL star donated $200,000 that will go to installing 300 new air conditioning units in schools in Philadelphia by the start of next school year, <a href="https://www.goodmorningamerica.com/culture/story/eagles-quarterback-jalen-hurts-donation-air-conditioning-philadelphia-schools-109728179?utm_source=instagram&amp;utm_medium=social&amp;utm_campaign=likeshopme&amp;utm_content=www.instagram.com/p/C6WVOMUAsK4">Good Morning America</a> reported.
&#8220;I think back to my time as a student, not being able to imagine some of the things that you guys have to go through,&#8221; Hurts reportedly said during his visit to one of the area’s schools.
&#8220;I just want to serve you guys and help in any way I can,” he added.
Philadelphia School District Superintendent Dr. Tony B. Watlington Sr. said the donation will help 5,000 students in the area and benefit 10 local schools, the outlet noted.

“More than half [of the schools] lack appropriate air-conditioning&#8221; to accommodate the environment when the “temperature climbs higher than 86 to 90 degrees,” Watlington Sr. said.
“We too often have to let our kids go home early,&#8221; he added. &#8220;And that really impacts student achievement.”
&#8220;It benefits teachers, as well, because when teachers have optimal teaching conditions, they&#8217;re more likely to return as teachers,” he added.
Hurts joined the team in the second round of the 2020 NFL draft. In 2022, he earned the Second Team All-Pro honors and was named the NFL MVP runner-up, <a href="https://www.cbssports.com/nfl/news/eagles-nearly-passed-up-on-2022-nfl-mvp-runner-up-jalen-hurts-for-a-safety-in-2020-nfl-draft-per-report/">CBS Sports</a> noted.

Speaking to the press earlier this year, Hurts said the 2023 season “has taught me so much in terms of the many blessings and lessons that have come with it.”
&#8220;First thing that you do, you look yourself in the mirror and you look at what you could have been better at, how you could have led better, how you could have executed better, and those are all of the things that internally light a fire in me,” he added.
&#8220;You have challenges in front of you,” Hurts continued. “You do everything in your power to self-reflect and control what you can and learn from it. That&#8217;s my No. 1 desire, to learn from everything and be the best I can be moving forward for everyone in this locker room and in this building.&#8221;

A trove of public documents revealed that the federal government has kept close tabs on pro- and anti-Israel protests across the country and cited concerns that <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/topic/yale-university" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Yale University</a> was “pro-Hamas.”
The documents, obtained and <a href="https://www.bloomberg.com/news/newsletters/2024-05-03/israel-hamas-war-protesters-targeted-by-dhs-surveillance" target="_blank" rel="noopener">reported</a> on by Bloomberg, reveal that agents with the Federal Protective Service (FPS), a law enforcement agency under the purview of the Department of Homeland Security, closely surveilled the wave of protests that came in the wake of the war between Israel and Hamas, which began after the terrorist organization’s attack on October 7.
One October 13 email concerning a pro-Israel demonstration at Yale University cited concerns that the institution is “pro-Hamas.” The email from the FPS investigator explained that he had received a call from a United States Marshal informing him of a pro-Israel rally that was scheduled for the same day. “I checked in with New Haven PD and received the same information and will be on the scene,” his email reads.
“The concern is that Yale University is pro Hamas,” the inspector wrote before also adding “at this time there is no credible threat. As more information comes in I will advise.” It is not clear if the FPS inspector was citing his own concerns, those of local authorities, or those of the protesters.
The FPS monitored a number of different protests for and against Israel. A series of communications show that federal agents were worried that demonstrations could attract racially motivated violent extremists and become violent. On one occasion, agents warned a Biden administration official of demonstrations set to take place in October from “the same two groups that led to the ~50 arrests (and 500+ not arrested) at the WH yesterday and shutdown several entrances.”
“These organizers keep rotating between USG locations, and the missile incident at the Gaza hospital has started inflaming tensions obviously,” the email read.

The trend of patriotic students confronting the activists has burgeoned at universities in Southern states.
On Thursday, a group of students at the University of Mississippi belted out “The Star-Spangled Banner,” drowning out the chanting and shouting of pro-Hamas protesters on their campus.
In a video posted to X on Tuesday, a number of students could be heard singing the national anthem at the top of their lungs while the shouts of nearby protesters — several of whom carried large Palestinian flags — were completely overpowered.

Pi Kappa Phi member Guillermo Estrada explained, “My fraternity brother and others ran over to hold it up, in order for it not to touch the ground. People began throwing water bottles at us, rocks, sticks, calling us profane names. We stood for an hour defending the flag so many fight to protect.”

<a href="https://www.dailywire.com/topic/kevin-spacey">Kevin Spacey</a> is facing new sexual assault allegations from nearly a dozen men in an upcoming U.K. documentary and has hit back, claiming he’s “being attacked” to boost ratings.
Channel 4’s “Spacey Unmasked” two-part documentary highlights accusations from a variety of men who accused the “House of Cards” star of sexual misconduct over the span of five decades, ranging from his teenage years to his time as a star in Hollywood, <a href="https://www.hollywoodreporter.com/tv/tv-news/kevin-spacey-unmasked-sexual-assault-doc-channel-4-1235889449/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">according</a> to The Hollywood Reporter. It also includes accusations from his time as an artistic director at London’s Old Vic theater from 2004-2015.
“I felt like I was staring at a soulless monster,” Daniel, an actor, said in the documentary produced by RoastBeef productions.
Another actor named Scott alleged, “If you don’t pay the toll in sexual favors, you’ll have a decent career, but you won’t see your name in lights.”
None of the men featured in the documentary were involved in Spacey’s sexual assault trial in London last year that resulted in the 64-year-old actor being acquitted.
And all but one have never spoken out to accuse Spacey of various sexual misconduct, the outlet noted.

“There’s a proper channel to handle allegations against me and it’s not Channel 4,” Spacey said. “Each time I have been given the time and a proper forum to defend myself, the allegations have failed under scrutiny and I have been exonerated.”
“Over the last week, I have repeatedly requested that Channel4 afford me more than 7 days to respond to allegations made against me dating back 48 years and provide me with sufficient details to investigate these matters,” he added.

“Channel 4 has refused on the basis that they feel that asking for a response in 7 days to new, anonymized and non-specific allegations is a ‘fair opportunity’ for me to refute any allegations made against me,” Spacey continued. &#8220;Channel 4 and RoastBeef TV may find themselves ‘speechless,’ but I no longer will be.”
Channel 4 released a statement to THR that read, “Kevin Spacey has been given sufficient opportunity to respond.”
In July 2023, the “Superman Returns” star was acquitted on all nine of the sexual assault charges against him in the U.K., The <a href="https://www.hollywoodreporter.com/tv/tv-news/kevin-spacey-uk-trial-verdict-not-guilty-1235543727/">Hollywood Reporter</a> noted. Spacey previously pleaded not guilty to the nine allegations that he had sexually assaulted four men between 2004 and 2013 in London, <a href="https://www.reuters.com/world/uk/actor-kevin-spacey-acquitted-all-nine-sexual-offence-charges-london-trial-2023-07-26/?taid=64c1317bbbd95200010df6dc&amp;utm_campaign=trueAnthem:+Trending+Content&amp;utm_medium=trueAnthem&amp;utm_source=twitter">Reuters</a> noted. The allegations ranged from unwanted touching to aggressive fondling — and, in one case, performing oral sex on an unconscious actor.
Spacey was one of the most prominent figures accused of sexual misconduct during the start of the #<a href="https://www.dailywire.com/news/pamela-anderson-doubles-down-on-metoo-comments-its-just-common-sense">MeToo</a> era.

Former President <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/topic/donald-trump" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Donald Trump</a> and Florida Governor <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/topic/ron-desantis" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Ron DeSantis</a> both signaled this week that they were happy with the outcome of their recent private meeting and that they are both committed to working together moving forward.
The meeting in Miami, Florida, on Sunday was set up by real estate broker Steve Witkoff, who is a friend of Trump and has a relationship with DeSantis. Witkoff also attended the meeting.
&#8220;I am very happy to have the full and enthusiastic support of Governor Ron DeSantis of Florida,&#8221; Trump posted on social media. &#8220;We had a great meeting.&#8221;
&#8220;The conversation mostly concerned how we would work closely together to MAKE AMERICA GREAT AGAIN,&#8221; he continued. &#8220;Also discussed was the future of Florida, which is FANTASTIC! I greatly appreciate Ron’s support in taking back our Country from the Worst President in the History of the United States. November 5th is a BIG DAY!!!&#8221;
The New York Times reported that the three men “met alone in a private room at Shell Bay,” a development and golf club that Witkoff owns.
Trump is looking for DeSantis’ help in fundraising to keep up with President Joe Biden’s donations, and DeSantis is looking to get back to the point where he is widely viewed by many as the future of the Republican Party, as a <a href="https://twitter.com/PpollingNumbers/status/1749172450846269834" target="_blank" rel="noopener">poll</a> conducted earlier this year found that he is the frontrunner for the party&#8217;s nomination in 2028.
DeSantis said during a Fox News interview on Thursday that he and Trump connected on a lot of things during their meeting, including on how their families were doing.
The governor said that he was going to be &#8220;active in a variety of capacities&#8221; to help Trump and other Republican candidates win their races this fall.

“It was just a good meeting and a good conversation,” he said. “He understands the importance of this election.”
“He understands the damage that Biden is doing, and I think you would see 180 degree different policies if we’re able to win in November, which it’s important that we do,” he added.

A Republican congressman grilled the Biden administration&#8217;s Secretary of Labor Julie Su over a proposed rule that would force companies involved in the Department of Labor’s apprenticeship program to implement diversity, equity, and inclusion (DEI) measures.
If enacted, the <a href="https://www.federalregister.gov/documents/2024/01/17/2023-27851/national-apprenticeship-system-enhancements">proposed rule</a> would seek to “diversify the National Apprenticeship System by enhancing worker protections and equity,” embedding DEI practices in the nationwide <a href="https://www.apprenticeship.gov/about-us">program</a> to connect employers with workers looking for skilled labor opportunities.
Rep. Jim Banks (R-IN) highlighted for Su during a hearing on the rule an agency <a href="https://www.apprenticeship.gov/sites/default/files/Final%20ACA%20Biennial%20Report%20-%20May%2010%202023.pdf">document</a> claiming that many apprenticeship programs involved in the DOL initiative are “actively hostile” to the idea of hiring women or racial minorities.
“Can you explain what that means?” Banks asked, referencing the claim that many employers involved in the apprenticeship program are hostile to those who are not white men. “Do you agree that some registered apprenticeship programs are managed by racists? And if so, who are they?”
Su explained that she wasn’t familiar with the document referenced by Banks before adding, “I  think that there is no reason why we should not be able to tap into the full talent and ability and promise of every single American in every single community.”
Banks told The Daily Wire that the Biden administration uses <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/news/bidens-pentagon-used-debunked-mckinsey-studies-to-justify-dei-in-the-military">flawed research</a> to push its DEI agenda, but that policies associated with the leftwing ideology are detrimental to the country. “The Biden administration has no choice but to rely on junk science and lies to sell its woke agenda. The honest truth is that DEI is making America weaker and more divided.”
Banks challenged Su again on the DOL document. “The recommendations also — say that registered apprenticeships have been ‘the domain of white able-bodied men.’ That&#8217;s a direct quote from the recommendation from the committee in your department,” Banks noted before asking “Do you agree with that comment?”
“Is having fewer white men in apprenticeships the goal of all of the DEI provisions in the proposed rule?” Banks went on to press, with Su responding, “Absolutely not.”
The Congressman from Indiana turned his attention to a portion of the rule that would demand that states submit reports outlining their efforts to diversify apprenticeship programs. Banks noted that the rule “would require states to submit a strategic plan for increasing participation from underserved communities that include the current participation by each race and demographic group and set specific targets for increasing participation by each race.”
“Will the Department punish states that do not meet the proposed rules’ racial quotas?” Banks asked. Su dodged the question again, saying, “We have never gone wrong in this country when we have expanded opportunities,” adding, “I don’t even know what punitive scheme you are talking about.”
One <a href="https://www.apprenticeship.gov/sites/default/files/DOL_DEIAFactsheet_v2.pdf">government document</a> advocating for the use of DEI criteria in apprenticeship programs relies on a debunked study from consulting firm McKinsey and Company to incorrectly assert that greater diversity led to increased profitability for corporations. McKinsey’s flawed studies were also used by the Biden administration’s <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/news/bidens-pentagon-used-debunked-mckinsey-studies-to-justify-dei-in-the-military">Pentagon</a> to justify the implementation of the DEI agenda.
The Biden administration has directed the entirety of the federal bureaucracy and the military to implement DEI practices, leveraging the might of the administrative state to codify leftist ideology as a matter of official government policy.
Former President Trump and his allies have committed to firing bureaucrats who’ve pushed the leftwing agenda and who may otherwise undermine his policy efforts. “We will pass critical reforms making every executive branch employee fireable by the president of the United States,” Trump <a href="https://www.govexec.com/workforce/2022/03/trump-threatening-return-and-expansion-schedule-f/363145/">pledged</a> at a rally. “The deep state must be brought to heel.”
Others are preparing for the potential outflow of bureaucrats, with Trump’s allies assembling a personnel database of those who might serve in the next administration through the <a href="https://www.project2025.org/">Project 2025</a> Presidential Transition Project, an initiative from the Heritage Foundation that seeks to “pave the way for an effective conservative Administration.”

In an interview, Daughtry said the troubling findings in the anti-Israel encampments convince him that &#8220;there is somebody behind this movement.&#8221;
&#8220;There is some organization behind this movement,&#8221; he added. &#8220;The level of organization that we&#8217;re seeing in both of these encampments here and at Columbia — leaflets on how to protest, leaflets on how to commit civil disobedience, leaflets on what to do when you get arrested, leaflets on what to say to police when they ask you — there is somebody funding this. There is somebody radicalizing our students.&#8221;

Daughtry promised that the NYPD&#8217;s counterterrorism division &#8220;will find out who it is.&#8221; The Deputy Commissioner of Operations also said there were disturbing items found at Columbia&#8217;s Hamilton Hall after officers removed anti-Israel protesters who had illegally taken over the building earlier this week. Daughtry said officers found &#8220;gas masks, ear plugs, helmets, goggles, tape, hammers, knives, ropes, and a book on TERRORISM&#8221; in Hamilton Hall.

&#8220;These are not the tools of students protesting, these are the tools of agitators, of people who were working on something nefarious. Thankfully, your NYPD was able to prevent whatever they were planning and stop them before they could do it,&#8221; Daughtry added. &#8220;Continue to peacefully and lawfully protest; but know that if you engage in illegal conduct, the NYPD will hold you responsible and hold you accountable—someone has to.&#8221;

The findings appear to back up statements made by New York City Mayor Eric Adams, who said on Wednesday that the anti-Israel protest at Columbia has been influenced by “outside agitators” who appeared to be trained.

Rep. <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/topic/henry-cuellar" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Henry Cuellar</a> (D-TX) released a statement on Friday maintaining his innocence after he and his wife were indicted on federal corruption and bribery charges.
The 68-year-old congressman was charged along with his wife, Imelda Cuellar, 67, of participating in two alleged schemes involving bribery, unlawful foreign influence, and money laundering, the DOJ said in a statement.
The Cuellars allegedly took nearly $600,000 in bribes from an oil and gas company that is wholly owned and controlled by the government of Azerbaijan and a bank that is headquartered in Mexico city.
&#8220;The bribe payments were laundered, pursuant to sham consulting contracts, through a series of front companies and middlemen into shell companies owned by Imelda Cuellar,&#8221; prosecutors allege. &#8220;Cuellar performed little or no legitimate work under the sham contracts.&#8221;
&#8220;I want to be clear that both my wife and I are innocent of these allegations,&#8221; he claimed in a statement. &#8220;Everything I have done in Congress has been to serve the people of South Texas.&#8221;
Cuellar claimed that he only took the actions after he &#8220;proactively sought legal advice from the House Ethics Committee, who gave me more than one written opinion, along with an additional opinion from a national law firm.&#8221;
He said that the actions he took were &#8220;consistent with the actions of many of my colleagues&#8221; and that they were always in America&#8217;s interests.

Cuellar praised his wife in the statement and claimed that she was an accomplished business professional and said that he was offended by the insinuation that his wife was &#8220;anything but qualified and hard working.&#8221;
The indictment comes after the FBI <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/news/fbi-raided-home-of-top-democrat-henry-cuellar-as-part-of-probe-involving-ex-soviet-state-of-azerbaijan-u-s-businessman" target="_blank" rel="noopener">raided</a> Cuellar’s home and campaign office back in 2022 as part of the criminal investigation into the former Soviet state of Azerbaijan and several U.S. businessmen. Numerous items were <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/news/fbi-agents-seize-items-from-home-of-texas-democrat-congressman-report" target="_blank" rel="noopener">seized</a> during the raid.
Prosecutors allege that in exchange for the bribes, Cuellar, who is the Ranking Member on the Homeland Security Appropriations Subcommittee, used his office to influence U.S. foreign policy in a manner favorable to Azerbaijan.
“In exchange for the bribes paid by the Mexican bank, Congressman Cuellar allegedly agreed to influence legislative activity and to advise and pressure high-ranking U.S. Executive Branch officials regarding measures beneficial to the bank,” the DOJ said.
Both individuals were charged with two counts of conspiracy to commit bribery of a federal official and to have a public official act as an agent of a foreign principal; two counts of bribery of a federal official; two counts of conspiracy to commit honest services wire fraud; two counts of violating the ban on public officials acting as agents of a foreign principal; one count of conspiracy to commit concealment money laundering; and five counts of money laundering.
If convicted on all of the charges, both individuals face a maximum of up to 204 years in prison.

Robert F. Kennedy, Jr. would cut military spending nearly in half to pay for a spate of new and expanded social programs if he wins the White House, according to his campaign.
Charles Eisenstein, a senior adviser to the Kennedy campaign, said that the candidate would aim to cut military spending to a level not seen since President Dwight Eisenhower’s last year in office. The savings from the cost cutting would be redirected to cover childcare subsidies and other welfare programs.
“Everything hinges on demilitarization,” Eisenstein told <a href="https://www.notus.org/2024-election/robert-kennedy-policy" target="_blank" rel="noopener">NOTUS</a>. “OK, like massive cuts in the military budget.”
Kennedy is running a long-shot, independent bid for the presidency. Kennedy is in a distant third, trailing President Joe Biden and former President Donald Trump. A recent <a class="font-hn relative inline-flex items-center justify-between overflow-hidden outline-offset-4 focus:outline-primary bg-transparent h-auto w-fit rounded-none text-left hover:underline" href="https://maristpoll.marist.edu/wp-content/uploads/2024/05/NPR_PBS-NewsHour_Marist-Poll_USA-NOS-and-Tables_202404261555.pdf" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer">NPR/PBS/Marist</a> poll found Biden and Trump tied at 42 points each with Kennedy far behind with 11 points. Still, Kennedy&#8217;s third-party bid has attracted more support than any independent run since Ross Perot in 1992.
Under Eisenhower in 1960, the United States <a href="https://www.macrotrends.net/global-metrics/countries/USA/united-states/military-spending-defense-budget" target="_blank" rel="noopener">spent</a> about $47 billion on its military. In 2022, that number had ballooned to roughly $880 billion. But over the course of the decades, military spending as a percentage of GDP actually fell by more than half. In 1960, the U.S. military budget was equivalent to about 9% of GDP. In 2022, that fraction had fallen to just 3.5%.
“We’ll be coming out with policies that are more specific,” Eisenstein said, “but I’m just painting a general picture of an obsolete, massive military machine that has spent a trillion dollars in regime-change wars over the last 20 years. A trillion dollars. What have we achieved with that? Can you say that we were successful even in Afghanistan, Iraq, or Syria, or Libya? I mean, these countries have descended into chaos.”
Asked where the cuts would come from, Eisenstein proposed closing overseas military bases and decommissioning aircraft carriers as examples. Military bases within the United States may also be closed as well.
U.S. service members who lose their jobs to the cuts could be retrained and rehired to rebuild U.S. infrastructure, Eisenstein suggested.
Brent Sadler, a senior research fellow for naval warfare at The Heritage Foundation’s Allison Center for National Security, pushed back on the proposed Kennedy cuts, and said his campaign has mistakenly conflated the failures of U.S. political leadership with its military.
“All of those were politically-decided actions,” Sadler told The Daily Wire of Eisenstein’s assessment of U.S. involvement in the Middle East. “The military was just simply supporting the decisions of the political leadership. And that&#8217;s both Democrat and Republican, conservative and liberal that own those decisions.”
Eisenstein is also wrong about obsolete technology in the military, according to Sadler. The naval warfare expert pointed out that aircraft carriers have been in use in the Red Sea in recent months protecting international shipping lanes from Houthi rockets.
“You don&#8217;t get rid of what you know works before you get into a fight,” Sadler said before noting increasing Chinese investment in its navy, including in aircraft carriers. “It would be reckless in my mind to basically start discarding aircraft carriers or stop building them. Once you stop building them, you basically are putting a death sentence on the industrial base that gives you those, and it’s very rapid deterioration when you do that.”
Sadler said that his position may not be “cost-effective, but it certainly will make sure you live to see another day.&#8221;
The Kennedy campaign did not respond to a request for comment.

RFK Campaign Proposes ‘Massive Cuts’ To Military: ‘Everything Hinges On Demilitarization’

RFK Campaign Proposes ‘Massive Cuts’ To Military To Cover New Spending: ‘Everything Hinges On Demilitarization’

U.S. Military

The Tenth Circuit finally gave us a day in court to fight for something we never thought we’d have to: the right to live and associate with other women. 
See, we joined Kappa Kappa Gamma at the University of Wyoming because we wanted to learn and grow with other women. Women have done this for ages: Kappa itself was founded in 1870, and when Title IX was passed in 1972, generally outlawing sex-based associations, sororities were explicitly exempted from the law.
But that all changed for us in the fall of 2022. Our sisters were pressured by the Kappa Kappa Gamma headquarters to initiate a male—going so far as to force our votes to be public and warning us that voting against the male would be a sign of bigotry, a basis for expulsion from Kappa.
But headquarters does not have to live with its decision. We do. They had their female-only environment when they were at college. We do not.
The benefits of female-only living are self-evident, but they are also scientifically backed. Personally, we want a place to be ourselves. We want (and deserve) freedom from a male gaze in private environments. These emotional needs manifest themselves in concrete ways. Research <a href="https://www.cambridge.org/core/journals/american-political-science-review/article/abs/gender-inequality-in-deliberative-participation/CE7441632EB3B0BD21CC5045C7E1AF76" target="_blank" rel="noopener">shows</a> that women are much less likely to speak, especially authoritatively, in mixed-sex settings. And women are 200% as <a href="https://www.monash.edu/__data/assets/pdf_file/0012/2368569/14-20-The-Gender-Leadership-Gap.pdf" target="_blank" rel="noopener">likely</a> to accept a leadership role in single-sex settings.
Maybe we wouldn’t have noticed what we had until we lost it. We felt uneasy walking into bathrooms, knowing that our privacy there had been dissolved. Our bedrooms don’t have locks, and it was hard to fall asleep without that layer of protection in our intimate environment. Some sisters are sexual assault victims, and were forced to constantly shoulder the unease of trauma by having been stripped of their female-only environment.
So after months of begging for the sorority we were promised, we <a href="https://www.iwf.org/westenbroek-v-kappa-kappa-gamma/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">sued</a>. And we’re speaking up publicly too. Because this case, this issue, isn’t just about opportunities being stripped from us in college and in sorority houses. It’s also about being able to speak out and defend your beliefs without intimidation. We are women who want our constitutionally protected right to speak out and associate freely, including in women-only spaces. We have heard from hundreds of other women who share our views but fear speaking out and facing public shaming and persecution. We want them to find their voices and lead the way by taking this stand now.
The four of us, and the other women who joined us in speaking out, have put a lot on the line with this lawsuit. At the outset, the court dismissed our concern for privacy in rejecting our request to proceed anonymously. We were just normal college girls who wanted everyone’s privacy protected, including the male’s. When we were forced to be public, we were then shamed for seeking publicity. We felt like we couldn’t win.
Our lives have all been affected beyond the court case.
Hannah made the hard decision to transfer to the University of Nebraska, where they have yet to initiate a male, fortunately. Maddie, the trooper among us, still lives in the same house as the male that Kappa initiated. Words cannot describe the tension of constantly seeing someone whose membership you’ve challenged in court. Jaylyn ultimately resigned her membership, leaving behind the house she was once a leader in.
We don’t want this to happen to others. This issue is also bigger than Kappa, or sororities, or what’s happening to women on college campuses. It’s about women’s spaces nationally, and, more critically, whether women’s biological existence matters.
Just this week, the Biden administration <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/news/sarah-parshall-perry-on-the-sweeping-changes-to-title-ix" target="_blank" rel="noopener">released new regulations</a> that will push our college campuses further in the wrong direction. The Department of Education reinterpreted Title IX so that rather ensuring women have equal opportunity and don’t face discrimination “on the basis of sex,” now they have elevated the concept of “gender identity” so that any man who decided to claim to be a woman can access our spaces, our sports team, and our dormitories. Women’s interests are once again pushed aside to accommodate men.
This is wrong. Women have to stand up for ourselves, our sisters, and our rights. Calling women bigots for refusing to pretend that the stronger, bigger, testosterone-driven, male-bodied person next to them is a “woman,” threatens and belittles us and our experiences. Biological realities have tied women together since the beginning of humankind. We know that men have the potential to overpower us. We know that we need to be careful and aware of those vulnerabilities wherever we are. Our nation’s policies, norms, and culture shouldn’t make this harder by forcing us to ignore biological reality.
This lawsuit is the beginning of the fight, not the end. With Independent Women’s Forum, we will work to define women in state law, we will make the case to the public and the courts, and we will not rest until young women once again are recognized in law and in society as unique, deserving, and equal—not interchangeable—with men.

You can tell a lot about a company’s values based on its ad partners.
The Bud Light partnership with trans-identifying activist Dylan Mulvaney is bound to be remembered as the most disastrous marketing decision in history. Thanks to one social media push, the brand’s reputation is forever tarnished. The resulting boycott cost the company an <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/news/bud-lights-parent-company-lost-over-1-billion-in-revenue-after-dylan-mulvaney-partnership-report" target="_blank" rel="noopener">estimated $1 billion</a> in lost sales.
Sadly, Bud Light is far from the only company peddling progressive nonsense. While <a href="https://www.jeremysrazors.com/collections/womens" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Jeremy’s Razors</a> stands proud as a beacon of sanity amid the chaos and lies, there are dozens of other companies worshiping at the altar of woke on a daily basis. They get away with it because no one stops them.
One of the most egregious examples of this is Dove, a company that most recently partnered with two lesbian influencers for a Mother’s Day promo. It’s not the first time Dove made waves for their extremism and barring any Bud Lite-esque boycott for this go-round, it likely won’t be the last.
Mother’s Day is a holiday that’s been on the progressive radar for a while now. It’s no wonder that the side that can’t even figure out what a woman is refuses to honor moms. Now the international personal care brand is attacking the concept of traditional families by partnering with team2moms, a pro-LGBT Instagram account.
The promo <a href="https://www.instagram.com/team2moms/reel/C5y-Z7Xy5Qd/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">post</a> begins by tagging sponsors Dove and Walmart. “Being a Mom has its highs and lows, even when you have TWO! So, this #MothersDay season, we’re teaming up with @dove to help spread the message of self-care to all Moms and Mom-like figures out there,” it says before making a pitch for Dove products purchased from Walmart.
The Atlanta-based influencers boast seven million TikTok followers, two million YouTube subscribers, and close to half a million followers on Instagram.
And what do they stand for? A run-through of past posts shows the couple’s daughter posing for a <a href="https://www.instagram.com/p/Co45s--OxUp/?img_index=1" target="_blank" rel="noopener">photo</a> with Vice President Kamala Harris after interviewing her. In another, the 12-year-old girl goes back and forth between her “mom” and “mama” while answering frequently asked <a href="https://www.instagram.com/p/C5_159ipoSp/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">questions</a>, including “Which one is your real mom?” (Her answer: both).
In another <a href="https://www.instagram.com/p/C6XAP3kpMb2/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">video</a> set to the Hozier song “Take Me to Church,” the team2moms couple and two other influencers mockingly make the sign of the cross while advertising “being [gay] is not a sin.”
“What we really need to do is pray away HOMOPHOBIA,” the video caption says.
The madness must stop, but the only way it will is if consumers pull a Bud Light on Dove and all the other companies intent on pushing leftist values on the public.
The best way to do that is to find an alternative. And hey, good news – that alternative exists right here. At Jeremy’s Razors, Mother’s Day celebrates the one and only biological woman who birthed you – not the two women confusing a preteen by both posing as “real moms.”
Treat the special lady in your life to indoctrination-free, vastly superior products from a brand that knows the true meaning of Mother’s Day. Plus, for a limited time, <a href="https://www.jeremysrazors.com/collections/womens" target="_blank" rel="noopener">save 25% on all collection items</a>. There’s never been a better time to treat mom to the perfect gift that actually aligns with her values. And today is your last chance to take advantage of 25% off.
We’ve had enough. We’re taking back Mother’s Day. We’re taking back traditional families. And next? We’re taking back the culture, too. Join the fight with Jeremy’s Razors, the perfect gift for (just one) mom.
