Given the Marxist fixation with seizing power, it’s strange that woke university administrators can’t seem to use it better. After all, they, not the students, are the legitimate authority on campus. For campus administrators who need remedial training on how to do their jobs, Texas provided a tutorial Wednesday when University of Texas at Austin students tried to establish a Gaza solidarity encampment there within sight of the state capitol building. Here’s a six-step handbook to shutting down illegal campus takeovers, the Texas way. Step 1: Make the Rules Clear On Tuesday, the UT Austin Dean ..read more

If a belligerent state launched 185 explosive drones, 36 cruise missiles and 110 surface-to-surface missiles from three fronts against civilian targets within the United States, would President Joe Biden call it a “win”? Would the president tell us that the best thing we can do now is show “restraint”? What if that same terror state’s proxy armies had recently helped murder, rape and kidnap more than 1,000 American men, women and children? What if this terror state were trying to obtain nuclear weapons so it could continue to agitate without any consequences? This is what Biden and the Barack ..read more

In his 1790 letter to the Hebrew Congregation in Newport, Rhode Island, President George Washington reached a stirring conclusion: “May the Children of the Stock of Abraham, who dwell in this land, continue to merit and enjoy the good will of the other Inhabitants; while every one shall sit in safety under his own vine and fig tree, and there shall be none to make him afraid.”  Washington is rolling in his grave right now at Mount Vernon.  Jews are so “afraid” at Columbia University that an Orthodox campus rabbi recently urged students to “return home as soon as possible.” The situat ..read more

“THIS SCAM ‘RUSHED’ TRIAL IS BEING PRESIDED OVER BY POSSIBLY THE MOST CONFLICTED JUDGE IN JUDICIAL HISTORY,” former President Donald J. Trump declared with characteristic understatement via Truth Social. Trump added that Manhattan Judge Juan Merchan “MUST BE REMOVED FROM THIS HOAX IMMEDIATELY.” Whether Merchan is “the most conflicted judge” ever is debatable. However, he surely belongs in the Conflicted Jurist Hall of Fame. In fact, Merchan is awash in conflicts of interest in Trump’s “hush money” trial. First, the judge’s daughter, Loren Merchan, i ..read more

The director of the FBI is being accused of hypocrisy for allowing the targeting of concerned parents, Trump supporters, and American Catholics but not “monitoring” pro-Hamas rallies and protests on college campuses. Director Christopher Wray was asked in an interview on Tuesday about “actively monitoring” the rallies erupting across college and university campuses, which have become the subject of controversy and condemnation from even senior government officials. Wray replied, “We don’t monitor protests.” He added, “But we do share intelligence about specific threats of violence ..read more

The nine Supreme Court justices have a major question before them. Is a current or former president immune from prosecution?  Former President Donald Trump is facing prosecution for alleged efforts to overturn the results of the 2020 election. Trump argues that his actions as president are protected from prosecution under presidential immunity.  Trump lawyer John Sauer argued Thursday before the Supreme Court that unless a president is first impeached and convicted by the Senate, he is immune from prosecution, explains John Malcolm, senior legal fellow and vice president for the Inst ..read more

Almost two years after a similar rule was rejected by the Supreme Court, the Biden administration on Thursday released another final rule for regulating America’s power plants. Under the rule, coal-fired power plants and most new natural gas-fired power plants would have to eliminate 90% of their carbon emissions by 2039 or close down in 2040. The Environmental Protection Agency’s new rule would raise electricity costs for Americans, kill manufacturing jobs, and disproportionately affect the poor, farmers, and small business. EPA’s rule, if it overcomes legal challenges, would result in the cl ..read more

Victoria Coates, vice president of the Davis Institute for National Security and Foreign Policy at The Heritage Foundation, spoke at the University of Pennsylvania on Thursday about the ongoing antisemitism directed at Jews occurring on college campuses today. She said that Hamas’ terrorist attack on Israel on Oct. 7, 2023, did not start but instead revealed that such antisemitism has been festering on American campuses for a long time. With decades of experience as a national security adviser in Congress, at federal agencies, and in the White House, Coates leads the Davis Institute in designi ..read more

In another staggeringly poor choice for the nation, the Biden administration is putting concern for votes in the coming election before national security interests. Strangely, due to election calculations, President Joe Biden seems to prefer Hamas and China over Israel and Japan. Already going with the head-shaker of softballing America’s response to Hamas’ terrorist attacks in Israel, apparently because of worries of losing Arab-American votes in Michigan, Biden is now doubling down and doing it again. This time, the president is reinforcing China’s dominance in steel production rather than w ..read more
