Columbia University has been ground zero for the Ivy League’s pro-Hamas demonstrators. Since the October 7, 2023, terror attack, activists at the university have set up encampments, occupied buildings, shut down classes, and targeted Jewish students. The Trump administration recently moved to revoke a protest leader’s green card and canceled $400 million in federal funding because of the university’s failure to address anti-Semitism on campus.
This student-led movement is also supported by some faculty. We have identified one Columbia professor, neuropsychologist Jennifer J. Manly...

According to the National Institutes of Health and other publicly accessible databases, she has been named in connection with over $100 million in grants over the past 20 years. Much of her research is based on the so-called social determinants of health thesis, which posits that racism, sexism, and homophobia can cause brain disease in “Black and Latinx communities”—a thesis that critics have described as pseudo-science. (Manly, Columbia, and NIH did not return requests for comment.)
Manly’s appearance at a pro-Hamas rally, coupled with her activist academic research, raises serious questions about the medical establishment, which has directed large sums of taxpayer dollars to ideologues disguised as professors and to activism disguised as science. And it gives further grist to officials in the Trump administration, who have argued that funding cuts are necessary to disrupt the pipeline of left-wing radicals.
Manly’s work routinely advances the idea that racism causes physical illness, such as Alzheimer’s disease.

Manly, yes - but Jennifer likes it too.
I have to wonder if she would like getting the “HAMAS Treatment”?

Time for Columbia to realize that catering to Leftist does have a price now that someone with a set of stones is sitting in the WH.
This has been festering for decades and no one, not one, had the stones to expose it, call it what it is, and shut it down
Go go go Trump! This is what we voted for!
Pres. Trump should ban all donations to colleges and universities. They should be treated like businesses and either make it on their own or fold.
As the Bible says: neuropsychologist, heal thyself.
Paraphrase of Luke 4:23.
Not only do I still like that soap and remember the old ads but now bar soap is hard to find due to shoppers buying liquid.
The dirty secret is that 20% of Columbia’s enrollment are foreign students. It’s practically a colony of Hamas. A college admin can’t deal with that. Trump should go in and evict the terrorists.

The people leading the student protests at Columbia are not students:
1️⃣ Nerdeen Kiswani—Studied law at CUNY in 2022. NOT a Columbia student.
2️⃣ Fatima Mohammed—Graduated CUNY Law in 2023. NOT a Columbia student.
3️⃣ Tom Facchine—Imam and Research Director at Yaqeen Institute.
Absolutely agree. And how can anyone be against DOGE, unless it's your personal cash cow, which is why the Democrats are screaming. As to all the boo-hoo stories about kids starving in Africa, 20% of US kids go to bed hungry. How 'bout we take care of our own first, take care of the homeless, and maybe, if there's anything left, we consider aid outside the US. It's time for the African leaders to sell their villas and limos and start taking care of their own people. That's not our job.
