PORTLAND, Ore. (KATU) — Police arrested at least five people Monday evening during a protest at Portland State University (PSU) against conservative speaker Riley Gaines who spoke at a public event on campus. "On Monday, May 5, 2025, at approximately 7:00 p.m., personnel with PSU’s Campus Public Safety Office requested PPB’s assistance with crowd control outside the Smith Memorial Student Union where an event not affiliated with the university was taking place.

The University of Washington reported pro-Palestinian protesters caused more than $1 million in damage to the university’s Interdisciplinary Engineering Building during a violent demonstration Monday night. The self-described pro-Palestinian protesters barricaded themselves inside the nearly brand new Interdisciplinary Engineering Building on campus Monday evening. The building, which just opened with a "soft launch" to students in March, was funded in part with $50 million from the Washington state legislature. Yet, the University of Washington was reluctant to discuss any of it on Tuesday. The UW Police referred questions to University spokesperson Victor Balta, who told KOMO News no interviews would...

On Monday, authorities arrested more than 30 individuals who seized and occupied the Interdisciplinary Engineering Building at the University of Washington to protest Israel and its war against Hamas terrorists. Among those arrested was a King County public defender and several affiliates of the left-wing extremist group Antifa. All of them were booked into local jails on criminal trespassing charges, with a bail set at $1,000, according to records. It's unclear if the apprehended individuals were students and/or outside agitators. The King County Prosecuting Attorney's Office said in a statement that more than two dozen protesters have been charged with...

Gabrielle Wimer’s suspension ‘effectively is an extended vacation,’ one person who spotted her says ... Columbia University medical students accused the Ivy League school of pushing a double standard after a classmate who was suspended following her arrest for storming a Barnard College building returned to campus. The student, Gabrielle Wimer, appears to be on course to graduate later this month. Wimer was one of the four anti-Israel Columbia students arrested for storming Barnard’s Milstein Library in March. The Ivy League university promptly suspended the quartet and restricted them from campus, though officials didn't say how long the punishments would...

ANTIFA pushes Seattle PD down a hill, fully repelling them from the lecture hall of interdisciplinary engineering. I’ve never seen such a broken police department that allows THEMSELVES to BE POLICED

Multiple fires were set by Antifia militants at the University of Washington campus in Seattle on Monday night. A group of black bloc Antifa occupied the Interdisciplinary Engineering building and blockaded the doors. The building opened just a few weeks ago and the $100 million price tag was funded by private donors, taxpayers, a federal grant, Amazon, T-Mobile and Boeing. Activists blocked streets with bike racks and dumpsters and set them on fire. Antifa gathered rocks to throw at police. The fires were set around 10:30 pm local time and neither police nor fire fighters were on the scene as...

Pro-Palestinian students at the University of Washington occupied the Interdisciplinary Engineering Building Monday evening, renaming it the Shaban al-Dalou Building, in protest against the university's ties to Boeing. A separate group dressed in all black stacked furniture to create a blockade in front of the building before toppling dumpsters to block off nearby Jefferson Road, then confronted a security officer until he drove away.

Authorities said they will not file charges against a person who hung a flag depicting a Nazi swastika on the Burnett Avenue overpass in Morgan Hill. Santa Clara County Supervising Deputy District Attorney Michel Amaral said the DA’s office has concluded an investigation into the March 21 incident and decided it will not charge the person who displayed the flag over Highway 101 with a crime. Amaral said after investigating, his office determined there was not enough evidence to support a criminal charge that would lead to a conviction in a criminal court. “The decision was made to not file...

Move over, Jean Valjean — Luigi Mangione will soon be immortalized on a San Francisco stage in a sickening musical comedy glorifying the alleged UnitedHealthcare CEO gunman. “Luigi the Musical,” slated to debut at the Taylor Street Theater on June 13, promises a “bold, campy and unafraid” take on the life and times of the man accused of perpetrating an assassination that left two young children without a father. Opening night is already sold out on the official website, which uses the tagline “A story of love, murder and hash browns,” a reference to Mangione scarfing down the McDonald’s menu...

Dr. Kay Coghill, during a conversation at the conference, advocated for silencing those who hold conservative or Republican views.

A recent survey reveals that over 40 percent of Tesla owners say they have experienced vandalism targeting their vehicles, but less than 20 percent regret buying a car from Elon Musk. Kelley Blue Book reports that a new study conducted by Guardian Service, a company specializing in helping consumers find insurance plans, has found that a significant portion of Tesla owners are facing vandalism and targeted hostility. The survey, which polled 508 Tesla owners, aimed to shed light on how these incidents, coupled with rising insurance costs, are reshaping the EV ownership experience in America. According to the findings, 40...

As President Trump meets with President Volodymyr Zelensky and other world leaders in Rome to try and end the senseless war in Ukraine, the European peace movement is falling in line behind Trump’s bold leadership – while Antifa street militias protest and call the peace movement “Nazis”.You get to see a lot of crazy stuff as a Gateway Pundit reporter, but this one really takes the cake.It’s like the world has turned upside down: At today’s peace rally in Munich, Germany, about 2500 mostly long-haired, hippie-style peaceniks marched in support of US President Donald Trump’s peace efforts, while black-clad “Anti”-Fascist...

Hundreds of sharp nails were found mysteriously embedded point-up in a Cape Cod town’s roadways — and police have no idea who’s behind the dangerous stunt. At least 478 nails were recovered spread across four Falmouth roads early Friday, according to the Falmouth Police Department. Photos shared by the department showed dozens of nails with their heads pressed deliberately into tar patches across the roads and points poised skyward — ready to impale the tires of cars passing by. The spikes were found around 2 a.m. by an officer on patrol, who found even more littered across nearby sidewalks and...

Masked “outside agitators” shouted “Hail Satan” in support of transgender athletes at a California school board meeting that passed several measures to protect girls’ sports — in a scene one concerned parent called “deeply unsettling.” A Chino Valley Unified School District board meeting Thursday was disrupted by two blue-haired, mask-wearing agitators who were stunned to find their cause was widely disfavored by the majority of parents who supported the . “Y’all are a bunch of transphobic pieces of s–t. I hope you all burn in hell,” one angry person said as they stormed out, a video posted by CVUSD board...

A Florida man has been indicted in Trenton, New Jersey, after allegedly boarding an Amtrak train with what authorities described as a “small arsenal” of weapons. Jeffrey O. Kennerk, 34, of Fort Lauderdale, Florida, was caught on a train on Jan. 3 with assault weapons, large-capacity ammunition magazines, handguns, silencers, and a booby-trapped rifle that fired during his arrest at the Trenton Transit Center, New Jersey Attorney General Matthew Platkin’s office said on April 16. “This defendant allegedly hauled a small arsenal of deadly weapons and ammunition through busy transit stations, and on a train filled with passengers,” Platkin said...

Well, when the governor gives the green light to go out and commit crimes for political purposes, it's not surprising that one of the 37,000 people working for him will happily do so. As you may recall, Minnesota Governor Tim Walz was giddy about the drop in Tesla stock price driven by the Democrat-funded domestic terrorist campaign against Elon Musk. What do you expect? He was the Democratic Party candidate for Vice President, who loves to pal around with the radical billionaires who toss their money into groups like Indivisible, and gives rousing speeches to the Antifa-loving crowds who still...

The left’s embrace of violence has reached the edge of the cliff. “The ultimate source of political power is, and always will be, violence,” George Mason University graduate student Nicholas Decker posted, promoting his recent Substack titled “When Must We Kill Them?” Decker is working on his PhD in economics, but his post had nothing to do with President Trump’s economic policy. Instead, it was a fantasy piece about the left murdering Trump administration officials, including Trump, over some perceived attack on Americans’ freedom. “Evil has come to America,” Decker said. “The present administration is engaged in barbarism; it has...
