For a second, imagine that black students at Columbia were taunted with chants of "Go back to Africa." Or imagine that a gay student at Yale was surrounded by homophobic protesters and hit in the eye with a flagpole. Or imagine if a campus imam told Muslim students that they ought to head home for Ramadan because campus public safety could not guarantee their security. There would be relentless fury from our media and condemnation from our politicians. Just remember the righteous—and rightful—outrage over the white supremacist “Unite the Right” march in Charlottesville, Virginia, in 2017, where neo-Nazis chanted “The Jews will not replace us.” This weekend at Columbia and Yale, student demonstrators did all of the above —only it was directed at Jews. They told Columbia students to “go back to Poland.” A Jewish woman at Yale was assaulted with a Palestinian flag. And an Orthodox rabbi at Columbia told students to go home for their safety. What will the response be?

IT’S ONLY BEEN OBVIOUS SINCE THE 2016 ELECTION. Two Former High-Profile Trump Critics Now Admit It: His Foes are the Real Threat to Democracy. Yes, you’re right, it’s a republic, not a democracy, but this is no time to quibble. Two high-profile Trump critics, one of whom was even touted as the presidential candidate who could topple Bad Orange in 2020, have just shown that they realize that the real threat to this tottering republic is coming not from the man they once happily joined in on hating, but from his enemies https://pjmedia.com/robert-spencer/2024/04/21/two-former-high-profile-trump-critics-now-admit-it-his-foes-are-the-real-threat-to-democracy-n4928389

Joe Biden Learns What Sowing and Reaping Is As Violent Antisemitic Protests Explode Antisemitic and anti-American "protests" continued on Sunday as pro-Hamas supporters occupied areas of Columbia University and Yale University. In one case, a young Jewish student was stabbed in the eye before being told by campus police that there was nothing they could do. With a further escalation of violence from the terrorist supporters all but inevitable, Columbia's rabbi went so far as to tell Jewish students to go home and not return until order was restored. For months, the Biden administration has given public credence to the "pain" and "suffering" of pro-Hamas protesters, doing nothing to discourage their illegal activities and thirst for violence. Undergirding that has been the dangerous far-left ideology of "oppression" which supposes anyone poorer and less successful must be the victim of "colonization" and "marginalization." In other words, the ends always justify the means for the "oppressed." There is a testing of the waters going on. The crowds of pro-Hamas supporters want to know how far they can push the boundary because they have no intention of stopping with Jews on college campuses. Their goal is cultural and political domination. That reality has finally started to peak through the blinds of the White House, and a condemnation was put by one of Joe Biden's handlers. First of all, where is Biden? Why is he not dealing with this directly? This is a man who has spent years claiming a relatively small antisemitic protest in 2017 spawned his run for the presidency. Yet, he's too busy vacationing in Delaware to directly speak against the largest explosion of antisemitism in the United States in decades? That simply doesn't compute, and it says that Biden is completely insincere. Further, condemning "these statements in the strongest terms" is meaningless. You can't baby terrorist supporters and expect them to moderate. They don't care about words. They only understand actions and consequences. Biden lacks the moral courage to go past tepid finger-wagging, and even that is undermined by his foreign policy of appeasing Hamas and Iran. The president sowed the seeds of this disgusting antisemitism in a cheap, shallow attempt to retain voters in places like Michigan. He is now reaping what he sowed. The toothpaste isn't going to go back into the tube easily. I suspect this is going to get far worse, and America's leaders are not willing to do what is necessary to turn the tide. Buckle up. https://redstate.com/bonchie/2024/04/21/biden-administration-finally-responds-to-violent-anti-semitic-protests-n2173116 .

Biden Administration’s War On Women The early Friday morning release of the Department of Education’s new administrative rewrite of Title IX of the Civil Rights Act—you know, the one that dealt with women’s rights—shows us that the left’s boast of protecting women is a sick joke. Title IX stated, “No person in the United States shall, on the basis of sex, be excluded from participation in, be denied the benefits of, or be subjected to discrimination under any education program or activity receiving Federal financial assistance.” By changing the terms of the law from “sex,” a category grounded in biology, nature, reality, to “gender identity,” a category grounded in mere will, the Biden Administration has indicated that they are waging a war on women that will wreck women’s sports and endanger women at every age. That it is also destructive to men and children is no consolation. That might sound strange to people who get their information from the so-called mainstream media sources whose “mainstream” label is accurate but often misunderstood: their task is to mainstream Democratic Party and leftist ideas. For years now, they have forwarded the Democratic Party propaganda about a supposed “Republican War on Women.” This war on women supposedly consisted of defending the “gender wage gap,” by which women were supposedly being paid 77 cents on the dollar for the same work men do; attacking “reproductive rights”; and refusing to take seriously the protection of women from the sexual predations of men. The first two are simply based on misunderstandings and lies. The “gender wage gap” is clearly nonsensical. If large corporations could really hire women to do the same work as men for nearly a quarter less in remuneration, women would be the only ones ever hired. But the claim has been debunked in data-based analyses many times over. Women do earn less than men overall because they make different choices about both work and family. The language about a war on “reproductive rights” is a euphemism for something that is very ugly. Democrats have no interest in reproduction. They mean by this solely the means of not reproducing, especially the means of killing children in the womb. Given that the consistent trend of views about abortion, as, for instance, measured by Gallup, shows that women are more pro-life than men, it would be more appropriate as a matter of both reality and public policy to say that on this issue, Democrats are waging war on women. But the biggest lie Democrats tell is about their supposed protection of women. And that lie is now fully exposed with the new Title IX guidelines. https://amac.us/newsline/society/biden-admins-war-on-women/
