Columbia University has not only caved and failed to expel any of the students busted in the occupation of a building during a pro-terror riot, most of them are still “in good standing’’ there, a House report says. “The failure of Columbia’s invertebrate administration to hold accountable students who violate university rules and break the law is disgraceful and unacceptable,” fumed Rep. Virginia Foxx (R-NC), chairwoman of the House Committee on Education and the Workforce, in a scathing statement accompanying a panel analysis Monday. “More than three months after the criminal takeover of Hamilton Hall, the vast majority of the...

in Congress after the House rejected a motion to remove him from the lower chamber, citing the ongoing ethics investigation into the embroiled New York freshman. The House voted 179-213 to remove the first-term incumbent, dealing a blow to his fellow New York Republicans who sought to expel Santos from the House immediately. To do so, the resolution would require a two-thirds majority to pass the lower chamber, meaning at least 78 Republicans would have needed to join all Democrats in advancing the measure, but only 24 Republicans voted in favor of the motion, which was counteracted by more than...

Democratic Illinois Rep. Bobby Rush has mostly voted by proxy over the last two years but spent thousands in travel and event expenses on the dime of taxpayers and donors, federal records reviewed by The Daily Caller News Foundation show. The House authorized an emergency health policy in May 2020, letting members vote remotely — called “proxy” voting — as “a necessary and immediately feasible low-tech option” for those who cannot be physically present in the chamber. “As in this case, when we see members regularly voting by proxy but also attending public campaign events at the same time, it...

At the end of September 1945, the world breathed a sigh of relief as the death and destruction of the war finally and formally came to an end. When the dust settled, as many as 85 million souls had been laid to rest, mostly civilians, and a New World Order had been formed by the allied powers, destined to control the trajectory of geopolitics to the present day. Of the millions lost, America escaped the least bloodied, with estimated total casualties recorded to be 419,400. These were dads, moms, sons, and daughters, their lives all cut short by the violence...

Donovan Barnes, a first year student at Georgetown University, recently published a “viewpoint” article in the school’s student newspaper titled “Develop Gender-Neutral Language in Arabic.” Barnes’ March 25 op-ed in The Hoya expresses the opinion that “to aid the fight for gender inclusivity in the Arabic language, Georgetown students and instructors have the responsibility to work toward language that includes all gender identities, not just identities within the cisnormative male and female binary.” The student explained that he is studying Arabic at Georgetown and had “valid concerns” coming into the program because he is learning a language that is “radically...

SACRAMENTO — With at least three current and former students under investigation for allegedly obtaining entry to a University of California campus through fraud, the system’s top academic official would not commit Tuesday to expelling or rescinding the degrees of anyone who participated in a far-reaching college admissions scam. “No one has a good taste in their mouth about that kind of situation,” Michael Brown, UC provost and executive vice president of academic affairs, told state lawmakers during a committee hearing on university funding. Federal prosecutors alleged last week that two students were admitted to UCLA through bribes paid to...

Venezuelan dictator Nicolas Maduro lacks “the legal authority” to expel American diplomats, Secretary of State Mike Pompeo said Wednesday. “The United States does not recognize the Maduro regime as the government of Venezuela,” Pompeo warned in a statement. “Accordingly the United States does not consider former president Nicolas Maduro to have the legal authority to break diplomatic relations with the United States or to declare our diplomats persona non grata.” Maduro ordered the departure of American officials earlier Wednesday after President Trump announced his support for a leading opposition figure who has claimed the constitutional authority to supplant the socialist...

One Supreme Court case provides a clue about the limits that may be placed on the Senate if it attempts either to deny Moore a seat or to expel him once he has been seated. In 1967, a special House committee determined that New York Rep. Adam Clayton Powell’s staff had falsified travel expenses and caused illegal payments to his wife. Rather than censure and fine Powell for this misconduct, the House voted by a simple majority to exclude—meaning, refuse to seat—Powell after his reelection. Powell sued, and when Powell v. McCormack made it to the Supreme Court, the court...

David Friedman, Trump's top advisor, came out against claims that Jewish rule in Judea and Samaria would hurt the rest of Israel's Jews by diluting the Jewish character of the country. "Right now, 75% of the population within the Green Line is Jewish," Friedman said, in a video publicized by Channel 2. "There are 400,000 Jews in Judea and Samaria, as well as another 400,000 in eastern Jerusalem. And it's funny, but the Arab birthrate is declining." According to Friedman, there is a trend of Arabs leaving Judea and Samaria, with their names remaining on the property deeds. "So if...

Following discussions last week, Prime Minister Binyamin Netanyahu on Saturday night is expected to propose a bill negating permanent residency status and social benefits from Arab residents of Jerusalem conducting riots and terrorist attacks. "It cannot be that those who act in terror against the state of Israel enjoy rights such as national insurance," said Netanyahu. The bill, which would include in its scope those inciting terrorism against the state, would target not only the Arab terrorists but their families as well in stripping their residency and social benefits. Interior Minister Gilad Erdan (Likud) on Saturday announced that he was...
