A Jewish graduate of Harvard Business School has filed a federal lawsuit against Harvard University and its police department, accusing them of enabling a hostile antisemitic environment and failing to discipline students who allegedly assaulted him during a campus protest, National Review reported on Friday. The plaintiff, Yoav Segev, claims he was physically attacked on October 18, 2023, while passing a pro-Palestinian Arab demonstration on Harvard’s campus.

He was shoved, surrounded, and had keffiyehs and protest signs pushed...

On Thursday’s broadcast of CNBC’s “Squawk Box,” Sen. Elizabeth Warren (D-MA) said that the government grocery store plan from New York City mayoral candidate Assemblyman Zohran Mamdani (D) is “a new and fresh plan for New York City. But it’s been tried in other cities around the country and has had some real successes.” Warren stated that Mamdani “said, we’ve got a problem with entire food deserts where people can’t get access to grocery stores. He said, I’d like to take a look at whether or not we can have some kind of — like we do on military bases...

Former US Secretary of State John Kerry has told the BBC his fellow Democrats allowed the US-Mexico border to be "under siege" during Joe Biden's presidency. In sometimes sharp words, Kerry - who was the Democratic presidential nominee in 2004 and a US senator from Massachusetts - said he told Biden the party had "missed" on the issue of immigration for years.

A Nantucket homeowner secretly chopped down a group of his neighbor’s 50-year-old trees to carve out “sweeping views” of the Atlantic Ocean for a property he listed for nearly $10 million, a lawsuit alleged. Patricia Belford claims her neighbor, Jonathan Jacoby, trespassed onto her property in February and leveled 16 towering cedar, cherry and Leyland cypress trees — gutting her property’s charm and value to enhance the views from the upper level of his home. Months later, Jacoby put the four-bedroom, three-bath Massachusetts house at 3 Tautemo Way on the market for $9.975 million, touting the endless blue horizon, a...

Yesterday, the Supreme Court issued a relatively rare clarification of its earlier opinion, which lifted the injunction on the deportation of immigrants to third-party countries. In a surprising response, Judge Brian Murphy in Boston ruled that he considered his orders regarding the eight immigrants set for deportation to South Sudan to remain unchanged by the decision. The Court quickly disabused him of that notion by declaring that he was not in compliance with its order. What was most remarkable, however, was the sharp concurrence by Justice Elena Kagan who, despite voting against the original order, called out Murphy for defying...

In a sweeping ruling, the Supreme Court limited the ability of federal judges to block executive actions throughout the country through nationwide injunctions, greatly affecting how parties seek judicial relief going forward. The court’s 6-3 ruling Friday, with all six GOP-appointed justices in the majority, deals a significant blow to legal challenges against President Donald Trump’s extreme executive orders and other actions, many of which have been blocked or temporarily put on hold through nationwide injunctions. Nationwide, or universal, injunctions prevent the government from enforcing a law, regulation, or policy across the entire U.S. — not just against the specific...

New York leftist Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez loves to present herself as someone who grew up in the hood. A person who knows the streets, is tough, and faced a hard life. None of that is true. She grew up in an affluent area, went to Boston University where the tuition is currently more than $60K a year, and interned at the office of the late Senator Ted Kennedy. The Gateway Pundit ran an exclusive report about this back in 2019, exposing AOC’s true past when she was known as “Sandy.” During one of her recent and stupid quips on Twitter/X, she...

Rep. Robert Garcia of California will take over as the top Democrat on the House Oversight and Government Reform Committee, signaling a shift toward younger leadership among his party. The ranking member position opened earlier this year when Virginia Rep. Gerald E. Connolly announced he would step down after his esophageal cancer returned. He died last month. Garcia sounded a conciliatory note after the Tuesday vote, praising the “incredible members” of the committee and its “incredible staff.” “We’re going to uplift their work and do everything we can to hold this administration accountable and focus on the corruption of Donald...

Detransitioner Chloe Cole landed a final blow to Sen. Elizabeth Warren (D-MA) after she threw an absolute hissy fit over the recent United States Supreme Court transgender ruling for kids.On Wednesday, SCOTUS upheld Tennessee's law barring "gender-affirming care" (including irreversible mutilation) for so-called "transgender" minors, which specifically rejected claims that "transgender" people are part of a protected class. Warren lost her ever-loving leftist mind and falsely claimed on X that "Trans kids suffer when they don't get medically necessary care. This is a brazen political decision by the Supreme Court. My heart is with trans kids and their loved ones....

A Brown University assistant professor and doctor was deported over the weekend from Boston to Lebanon after federal agents found photos of Hezbollah leader Hassan Nasrallah and Iran’s supreme leader on her cell phone, a source familiar with the case told CNN. Following Dr. Rasha Alawieh’s return Thursday from a visit to Lebanon, federal agents at Boston Logan International Airport found the photos, the source familiar said. It was not immediately clear why officers were examining her phone. The existence of the photos was outlined in a court filing Monday obtained by CNN affiliate WCVB. “In explaining why these multiple...

To be honest, I for one am completely underwhelmed by the “largest deportation operation in American history.” Wake me up when we start deporting more illegals than Obummer and Crooked Joe, but, here’s a tip for ICE: Start at the shelters and hotels of Massachusetts.A new item out at Fox News reveals that state governor Maura Healey’s administration is on-track to spend more than one billion dollars on its “Emergency Assistance” program, which largely services illegal migrants, just in Fiscal Year 2025. Here’s the story:Gov. Maura Healey’s administration has already spent $830 million so far in FY25 – which started...

Over the past week, left-wing activists have lost it over the fact that President Donald Trump called in the Marines and the National Guard to disperse the violent anti-ICE riots in Los Angeles. As White House Press Secretary Karoline Leavitt noted, over 300 illegal aliens have been arrested in LA since the violent anti-ICE riots began on June 6. Over 100 of these illegal alien criminals had a rap sheet. While Trump and his administration continue to receive backlash for bringing in troops to handle the rioters and illegal aliens, it appears Democrats have forgotten that another leader called in...

A former immigrant shelter director in Massachusetts is petitioning Attorney General Pam Bondi and the Department of Justice to launch an investigation into the "disturbing pattern" of criminal activity, sexual assaults and financial abuse that he says is widespread in the state-run migrant shelter system. Jon Fetherston, a former director of an immigrant shelter in Marlborough, Massachusetts, first blew the whistle about the widespread abuse in the shelter system after he discovered a Haitian migrant named Ronald Joseph, who was living in his shelter, had repeatedly raped and impregnated his 13-year-old daughter. Fetherston previously told Fox News Digital that as...

As Hamas supporters hurl bogus charges against Israel.Last month, Megha Vemuri, president of the Massachusetts Institute of Technology class of 2025, denounced the “genocidal Israeli military” and contended that the MIT community “would never tolerate a genocide.” Such proclamations, widely repeated on Ivy League campuses, invite a look at the actual genocide going on 50 years ago.In April, 1975, troops of the communist Khmer Rouge occupied Cambodia’s capital of Phom Penh. One of the last correspondents to leave was David Aikman of Time magazine, author of “Cambodia: An Experiment in Genocide.” As Aikman recalled:After a few hours, the black-uniformed troops...

Harvard University and the Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT) have leaned on a century-old law to avoid paying out large sums in lawsuits despite having billion-dollar endowments, legal records show.President Donald Trump has accused Harvard of abusing its Internal Revenue Service (IRS) tax-exempt status in his ongoing battle against the Ivy League over antisemitism concerns and a lack of ideological diversity. But one advantage of nonprofit status has gone under the radar: Harvard and MIT exploit a state law capping tort claims against charities at $20,000, despite overseeing world-class investment firms managing endowments of $53.2 billion and $24.6 billion, respectively.“If...

During his 2024 campaign, President Donald Trump correctly assailed elite universities like Harvard as controlled by “Marxist maniacs and lunatics.” He received a popular mandate to take them down. They deserve it.The bill of indictment against Harvard is long. It is teaching students to hate America, to become modern-day Benedict Arnolds. It is teaching students to love Hamas and terrorists. ... It is promoting antisemitism, hatred of Israel, and the canard of a genocide in Gaza.The president of Harvard, Alan Garber, has repeatedly acknowledged an epidemic of antisemitism at the university ….***Harvard celebrates communism over free-market capitalism. Survey its libraries....
