The refusal both of Columbia University officials and New York City’s mayor to confront and end the siege of the school’s campus and the open threats to Jews is the culmination of 40 years of academic rot, and we describe why. Also: The House passes aid to Israel, Ukraine, Taiwan, and moves to end Chinese Communist control of TikTok. Is this a new path forward or a one-off success for House Speaker Johnson? Give a listen.

My prediction for the Chicago convention: 60,000 pro-Hamas thugs will burn and break things; burning police cars, assaulting cops, usual left-wing riot fare. A couple hundred right wing loons will show up, some with MAGA hats, some with Confederate flags. NYT: “Pro-Palestinian demonstrators, Proud Boys clash at Democratic National Convention.”
I think the proud boys are pretty much broken.
I think it’ll have a strong resemblance to the 68 Chicago convention. (Was that the last time the democrats were in Chicago?) … Lots of riots, lots of pro Hamas chanting and violence…
You’re probably right. I was just making the point that the media will find some way, however ridiculous, to provide cover for the pro-Hamas thugs.
Totally agree.
IF there is a “Proud Boys” type group showing up, they’ll be a fed cover band.
