Joseph Slaughter, who has defended illegal encampments at the Ivy League school, helped write new guidelines surrounding campus protest rules.. As a member of Columbia University's top disciplinary body, Joseph Slaughter helped draft guidelines meant to provide students with a "contemporary understanding" of school rules on campus protests. As an English professor, he delivered a lecture that lauded a string of terrorist plane hijackings as "spectacular" and "remarkable," according to audio obtained by the Washington Free Beacon. During his Oct. 9 talk, titled "Hijacking Human Rights," Slaughter referenced "pretty spectacular" footage of Popular Front for the Liberation of Palestine (PFLP)...

The Hamas terror group has expressed uncertainty as to whether it could gather 40 civilian hostages for release in a prisoner swap deal with Israel, officials familiar with the negotiations said. The terror group's uncertainty complicates talks for a deal which would include a six-week ceasefire, the return of Gazans to northern Gaza, and the release of hundreds of convicted terrorists in exchange for less than a third of the hostages currently held in Gaza. According to the Wall Street Journal (WSJ), a Hamas official said that the terror organization would not commit to releasing 40 living hostages, but would...

Editor's Note: Extreme Content Warning, throughout this entire post. That this heinous screening was even necessary is a testament to the virulence of the anti-Israel propaganda machine. Within hours of the October 7 massacre, 'pro-Palestine' forces were openly justifying and celebrating the Jew butchery. Such depravity has continued for weeks, with another anti-Semitic tactic being folded into the mix: Holocaust-denial-style 'questioning' of whether the horrors really even took place. The Israelis had made it up, some started to argue. The Israelis had exaggerated the specifics, others said, openly doubting whether women had been raped, and asserting that babies had not...

TRUTHThere are momentous events taking place right now. A sense of danger permeates the air one breathes. A seemingly out-of-control government presents an existential threat friend and foe alike. Elections mean nothing and they don’t care what the majority wants, because the vast, vast majority want secure and legitimate elections. They want laws to be enforced, especially the laws that prevent foreign enemies and convicted felons from flooding the nation, taking the advantages of being a citizen without being one and more often, getting benefits that are not available to the actual, legal citizens. They want their children to be...

Over the last decade, BLM, and assorted leftist and libertarian groups dismantled our criminal justice system. Police forces were defunded, pro-crime prosecutors refused to lock up criminals, federal and state prison systems released tens of thousands of them, and a wave of legislative decriminalization legalized everything from shoplifting, to drug dealing and mugging. The pro-crime policymaking that eliminated public safety and cost over 3,000 lives in 2020 alone was done under the guise of fighting racism. Statistics which showed that black people were more likely to be arrested, imprisoned or shot during criminal encounters with police were used to spread...

Ukraine’s deputy military intelligence chief, Vadym Skibitsky, claimed Friday that Moscow was considering calling up an additional 500,000 troops ahead of planned offensive operations in the spring and summer, The Guardian reported. If confirmed, the mobilization would risk a repeat of the unrest caused by Russian President Vladimir Putin’s attempt to press 300,000 Russians into service this fall.

The Democrats’ blame game has already started one week from the midterm elections, as the party’s leadership begins to point fingers while analysts are predicting the election could be terrible for the one-party hold over Washington, DC. As analysts predict the Republicans will end the Democrats’ one-party rule in the nation’s capitol by regaining the majority in the United States House of Representatives and potentially the Senate, the left is already starting to point fingers at who will take the fall, multiple establishment outlets reported.

The Left tries to kill two birds with one stone. Politicians have found a way to kill two birds with one stone: ignore the endemic slaughter of Christians at the hands of Muslims, while over exaggerating the impact of climate change. How? By saying that climate change is the true engine that drives the persecution of Christians. On Pentecost Sunday, June 5, 2022, Muslims massacred some 50 Christians inside a Nigerian church (see here for several other examples of Muslims massacring Christians worshipping inside their Nigerian churches). Two days later, the president of Ireland, Michael Higgins, issued a statement on...

MSNBC’s Joy Reid said Wednesday on her show “The ReidOut” that she believes Republican “ghouls” have a bottomless tolerance for blood and slaughter because they will not pass gun control legislation. Reid said, “Please, please spare me the, don’t politicize these deaths’ BS because these deaths, these record numbers of Americans slaughtered are political. They are happening because of uniquely American politics. They are happening because 327 million Americans are essentially hostages to a morally and financially bankrupt gun lobby and the heartless, gutless politicians that they buy and own. Please stop thinking that there is somebody counting some level...

The Biden Administration Department of Health and Human Services announced it will reverse the Trump Administration’s “Protect Life” rule for receiving federal family planning aid, calling it “not in the best interest of public health.” The rule barred the use of taxpayer dollars to fund abortions and did not require “no kill” family assistance organizations to refer patients to abortion providers. Secretary Xavier Becerra explained that “the entities the Trump rule protected are not entitled to the consideration he mandated. Fetuses have no rights which the government is obligated to respect. The assertion that they are unborn people is debatable....

THE bodies of 12 beheaded expats have been found tied up under a mango tree in northern Mozambique after they tried to to flee an ISIS massacre. Dozens of innocent people, including children, were ruthlessly killed when terrorist militants went on the rampage in the key industrial town of Palma. Pedro da Silva, commander of the police station in the nearby village of Quitunda, said the bodies of the expats had since been buried in a mass grave, according to reports. "In total there were 12. They were all foreigners, I don’t know what nationality, but they were all white,"...

The Vienna police will be delivering an address shortly via their facebook page, they have announced on Twitter. “On our Facebook page there will soon be a live stream of press statements from BM Nehammer, LPP Pürstl and General Director f. d. Public security,” they said.

Anne-Marie Slaughter, who served as Secretary of State Hillary Clinton’s Director of Policy Planning during part of the Obama administration, has published a column in the New York Times where she notes some effects of the coronavirus that she apparently believes are positive. “We are also suddenly living in a world that the United States government long insisted was impossible--one of drastically reduced plane and car emissions,” she writes. “That is terrible for the airlines but good for the planet. It may be good for us, too,” she said. “And now that we're all at home, what to do with...

During the preliminary hearing this week in the criminal case against undercover journalists David Daleiden and Sandra Merritt, a "semi-retired" Planned Parenthood executive admitted that the abortion business had no ban on altering abortion procedures in order to better harvest baby body parts that would later be sold, allegedly for a profit. According to reporting from Lianne Laurence at LifeSiteNews, "Doe 10," the former medical director at Planned Parenthood Los Angeles until 2013, "admitted under questioning Wednesday by Peter Breen of the Thomas More Society and lawyer for Daleiden, that the Planned Parenthood affiliates she worked in had no rule...

Christians in the United States have faced persecution for their beliefs over the past few years. Media outlets have done a decent job reporting on the incidents where believers face threats to their religious liberty. But in other parts of the world, Christians are paying for their faith with their lives. Nigeria is one of the most dangerous countries for Christians, a nation that ranks 12th on Open Doors USA's World Watch List. Over the past few years, we've heard of the stories of Boko Haram and their terror against Christians, but Nigerian believers are facing an even more recent...

Insane lunatic, NY Governor, Cuomo, politically slaughters supreme Nutcase Cynthia. You do not want to know the numbers...it's hilarious!!!

Rochester, N.Y. (WHAM) - Amtrak says it will be renaming the newly-renovated train station in Rochester after the late Rep. Louise Slaughter. The full name of the Rochester Intermodal Station will become the Louise M. Slaughter Intermodal Station in Rochester. The announcement was made Wednesday morning by Senators Chuck Schumer and Kirsten Gillibrand. The two were among several lawmakers at the local, state and national level who made the case for Slaughter to be the namesake for the train station. Last week, Schumer and Gillibrand in a letter to Amtrak said, renaming the train station is fitting for such an...

New York Rep. Louise Slaughter, the top Democrat on the powerful House Rules Committee and the only microbiologist in the Congress, died Friday at a Washington hospital just days after being injured in a fall at home, her congressional office said. She was 88.

Rep. Louise Slaughter (D-N.Y.), the top Democrat on the House Rules Committee, has died at age 88, her office announced Thursday. “To have met Louise Slaughter is to have known a force of nature. She was a relentless advocate for Western New York whose visionary leadership brought infrastructure upgrades, technology and research investments, and two federal manufacturing institutes to Rochester that will transform the local economy for generations to come," Liam Fitzsimmons, chief of staff, said in a statement. Slaughter had been hospitalized after suffering a concussion in her home, her office said earlier this week.
