I mean, this is straight news: 54 Columbia Law Faculty Condemn Administration For Disciplinary Action Against Anti-Israel Student Protesters.

I mean, most of these people were probably all in for the “punch a Nazi” fad, but now they’re all in for a “kill the Jews” protest. If these were right-leaning students, the faculty would be applauding.

TRUNALIMUNUMAPRZURE! Biden, 81, suffers ANOTHER embarrassing gaffe as his attempt to brand Trump untrustworthy spectacularly backfires at Florida rally.

President Joe Biden suffered another gaffe during a speaking event as he tried to paint his opponent, former President Donald Trump, as untrustworthy.

Biden, at 81 years old, the oldest president in American history, appeared before supporters at a community college in Tampa, one week before Florida bans abortions past six weeks.

He called out Trump, his 2024 general election opponent, as the sole person responsible for the ‘cruelty and chaos’ that’s occurred after the overturn of Roe v. Wade.

However, when he did so, he accidentally asked: ‘How many times does he have to prove we can’t be trusted?’

ABC News tried to cover for the president, replacing the word ‘we’ with ‘he’ in describing the speech, though he was clearly heard saying ‘we.’

The House of Stephanopoulos airbrushing fellow Democrats? I’m shocked, shocked!

SOME OF US AREN’T WORRIED, WE’RE CERTAIN: “Some of us are worried that politics infuses everything that the judge and the prosecutors do. I insist on hearing good faith arguments — and the truth — wherever possible. It seems to me, we are talking about gagging a presidential candidate, whose prosecution might be political persecution, and that’s inescapably political. It’s not something to be brushed off as some sort of ‘ethos’ of Trump’s that deserves ‘a complete onslaught.'”

GOOD IDEA:

We need to normalize commie shaming again. Communism is perhaps the worst thing to happen to modern humanity and people should feel bad and stupid for liking it.

TWENTY MINUTES INTO THE FUTURE:

And a modern reboot of Nixon’s “law and order” ad from 1968. As Charles Glasser wrote here in August of 2020, “[I] cannot stress enough how powerful and resonant this ad was in 1968. Ben Rhodes was right: The young reporters in the MSM don’t know anything, and I’d add neither do their readers. This ad could run today and still be effective. If you support Trump, you should be demanding that they start producing ads like this.”
