Last week I wrote about the ongoing protests at Columbia University. On the first day of classes for the new semester, a small group disrupted an Israeli history class. As you can see in the clip below, the students were masked and refused to leave when asked. This is a clear violation of campus policies. BREAKING: Fully masked terror-supporting students broke into a Columbia University class of Jewish students and began handing fliers of Jewish stars burning with "Curse Zionism" written.Columbia should lose its accreditation and federal funding immediately.

An Indiana man who was recently pardoned for his participation in the Jan. 6 Capitol riot was shot and killed during a traffic stop by a sheriff's deputy Sunday. Matthew Huttle, 42, was involved in a traffic stop at 4:15 p.m. by a Jasper County sheriff’s deputy, authorities said in a news release. It alleged that Huttle resisted arrest and was found to have a firearm on him. "An altercation took place between the suspect and the officer, which resulted in the officer firing his weapon and fatally wounding the suspect," the release said.

As RedState reported earlier, actress/singer Selena Gomez posted a video to her Instagram page Monday in which she was sobbing to the point of being hard to understand and in which she was seemingly addressing new illegal immigration policies under the Trump administration related to the repatriations of criminal elements.“I just wanted to say that I’m so sorry. All my people are getting attacked. The children. I don’t understand,” she said in between sobs, as the words "I'm sorry" appeared in the foreground along with an image of the Mexican flag. "I'm so sorry. I wish I could do something,...

Trump is getting more of a honeymoon in Term 2 than in Term 1, and while part of it is due to the shock of the 2024 win, a lot of it has become tactics. The first stage of the plan is to infiltrate his decision-making loop and to make his various policies backfire. That’s why it’s helpful to understand what malicious compliance is. The last ‘resistance’ movement among federal employees focused on more direct sabotage, at least initially this time they’re using malicious compliance, that is to say they’re implementing executive orders in the most destructive fashion. And then...

1. It's time to explain exactly what happened on Election Day 2024 to stop the steal. This will be a very long thread. It involves quite a few people over 4 years. A dozen sources. We must begin just after the rigged 2020 election. 2. Let's begin the story in December 2020. Why? Because President Trump wanted election fraud investigated. He told his team to hire someone to discover the truth about the voting machines. Multiple sources tell me an ex-CIA investigator was hired for the job. 3. That investigator reported that claims of election fraud were overblown. Some DOJ...

Senate Democrats last week put on hold the confirmation process for Pam Bondi, President Trump’s nominee for attorney general. Her full Senate approval appears inevitable but Democrats on the Senate Judiciary Committee claimed they wanted more time to review her background file. Another hearing is scheduled for Wednesday; a vote to advance her nomination out of the committee is expected later that day. But if Democrats had hoped postponing Bondi’s confirmation would delay the Trump administration’s carpet bombing of the Department of Justice, they are once again mistaken. In fact, Trump’s DOJ is wasting no time reversing the dangerous course...

Secretary of Defense Pete Hegseth has ordered the US Air Force to return training modules about the Tuskegee Airmen and Women's Airforce Service Pilots, or WASPs, to the basic training curriculum. This training was reported as canceled Friday, an alleged casualty of President Trump's anti-DEI executive order; see The Air Force Seems to Have Decided to Use Malicious Compliance to Fight Trump's DEI Order – RedState. **** While this crushes this rebellion, there is more work to do. The people behind it are open about their intentions. This is a clip from a closed Facebook group called "Service Academy Women."...

Despite its huge international success, including a leading 13 Oscar nominations, Emilia Pérez faces criticism in Mexico, where the transgender narco-musical has been accused of trivialising raging drug-related violence. The film stars Karla Sofía Gascón as a bloodthirsty narco who, after transitioning to life as a woman, helps relatives of the missing. The movie also features "Avatar" star Zoe Saldaña, singer-actress Selena Gomez and Mexican actress Adriana Paz. Gascón became the first openly trans acting Oscar nominee, in the best actress category, while Saldaña was nominated for best supporting actress. "The film trivialises the problem of the missing in Mexico,"...

President Trump just fired a bunch of USAID employees for conspiring to secretly send further foreign aid without approval. This administration is NOT playing games. “We've identified several actions within USAID that appear to be designed to circumvent the President's Executive Orders and the mandate from the American people. As a result, we have decided to put a number of USAID employees on administrative leave with full pay and benefits until further notice while we complete our analysis of these actions." - Acting USAID administrator Jason Gray ... Get rid of USAID ... If it wasn’t for the unions, he...

Could this really happen?

A Texas substitute teacher has come under fire after inviting Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) officers raid his school because his students “don’t even speak English.” Fort Worth Independent School District officials launched an investigation after the substitute teacher responded to a post by ICE on social media giving an update on arrests for Jan. 23. The teacher, who was not publicly identified but had the X username @Hookem232, called for agents to “come to Fort Worth, TX to Northside High School,” according to the Dallas Morning News. “I have many students who don’t even speak English and they are...

Melania, in contrast, wears a black pantsuit with a crisp, white shirt by Dolce & Gabbana, one of her favorite European designers. She stands tall, with her hands on a table before her, the Washington...

The Senate voted 68-29 to confirm the Wall Street veteran, with 16 Democrats joining all Republicans to choose Bessent for the post. He will be the 79th Treasury secretary.
