DEVELOPING: NYPD Declares Columbia University Protest a Riot — Crackdown Begins, Dozens Arrested [12 VIDEOS] By Jim Hᴏft
Apr. 30, 2024 8:40 pm – A demonstration by pro-Hamas supporters at Columbia University turned violent on Tuesday after Columbia University authorized the city to deploy officers onto the campus amid escalating tensions.
As the situation intensified, the university administration issued a “shelter in place” directive to students, citing “heightened activity on the Morningside campus.” The alert advised students to remain indoors for their safety, warning that failure to comply could lead to disciplinary actions.
The NYPD issued a directive to all non-essential personnel, including students not involved in the protests, to vacate the campus area. “The operation at Columbia University has commenced,” announced an NYPD spokesperson.
“All credentialed media members are to meet with DCPI personnel at West 114th Street and Broadway. Anyone remaining in the area without authorization will be escorted from the premises.”
According to WKCR radio, NYPD officers used tear gas on pro-Hamas protesters at Columbia University.

Biden White House considering welcoming Hamas-supporting, Jew-hating Palestinians to America as ‘refugees‘ LEO HOHMANN
Up to 800,000 have fled the war zone in Gaza
APR 30, 2024 – CBS News is reporting that the Biden White House is hot to bring up to 800,000 Palestinians to America as “refugees.”
This would be done under the Refugee Act of 1980 and include work permits, food stamps, housing assistance, free education for their children, along with a fast-track to U.S. citizenship, which can be accomplished in as little as five years. Refugees that arrive in the U.S. at age 65 or older qualify almost immediately for Social Security, even though they have never worked a day in their lives in this country or paid a dollar in federal income taxes.
U.S. Congressman Jamaal Bowman, Democrat from New York, is one of the point men pushing for this disastrous policy — the direct importation to America of what would mostly be terrorist-supporting, Hamas-loving, Jew-hating Muslims. Just what we need more of in this country right now, given the ugly antisemitism we’ve seen on university campuses of late.
But Congressman Bowman is very excited about welcoming 800,000 Palestinians into the already volatile mix in U.S. cities. We’ve seen what a powder keg America has become in the last few weeks as Hamas-supporting college students and professors have taken over campuses, beat up and intimidated those who oppose them, occupied libraries, etc. Watch Bowman make the pitch for Palestinian refugees being welcomed to America in an interview posted to X below.
https://x.com/CitizenFreePres/status/1785364052790657428
This is nothing new. The U.S. State Department has been contracting with the United Nations since 1981 to ship foreign refugees directly into U.S. cities and towns. They fly them in from Somalia, Sudan, Iraq, Syria, Afghanistan and many other countries, many of them countries hostile to America and Americans. Now they want to bring in the Palestinians.
They fly these refugees to America and other Western countries from UN camps all over the world, typically with little to no vetting, and they have a poor record of assimilation. As evidence of that, all you have to do is visit places like the Cedar Riverside district of Minneapolis or Hamtramck, Michigan.
Over the years, they have built up a Fifth Column of anti-American enclaves, nations within a nation, parallel societies. We already suffer from a lack of social cohesion in this country, some say we’re on the verge of civil war, and yet Congress is pouring gasoline on the fire by funding more resettlements of refugees from the Islamic world. All of this is documented, by the way, in my 2017 book, Stealth Invasion, along with the many violent crimes committed by refugees in America. No wonder the book was banned just over a year ago by Amazon. They knew the issue of Islamic refugees would be a hot button issue in the years ahead.
Think of the possibilities. Sleeper cells and attacks on Americans, potentially similar to what we saw in Israel on October 7, 2023.
Congress is totally complicit in the refugee resettlement program, which operates under the radar for the most part, coordinated by the U.S. State Department, which outsources the placement of refugees to nine NGOs, six of which are affiliated with religious organizations – the U.S. Conference of Catholic Bishops, the Hebrew Immigrant Aid Society, World Relief, Lutheran Immigration and Refugee Services, Episcopal Migration Ministries, and Church World Services.
Billionaire Donors Are Pulling Funds From Universities That Allow Violent Anti-Semitic Protests…Should US Taxpayers Be Forced To Fund Universities That Allow Protesters Calling For Genocide of Jews On Their Campuses? By Patty Mcmurray
Apr. 30, 2024 7:20 pm – Surging anti-Semitism at elite private universities has captured the media spotlight and Congressional attention, but escalating anti-Israel protests at our nation’s premiere public universities should be of even greater concern because they are taxpayer and government-supported.
Should Jewish children be afraid to walk freely on a college campus in America in 2024 over fears of being targeted by large groups of individuals calling for the genocide of Israeli Jews?
Imagine how it must feel to be a young Jewish student who is forced to walk through these protesters, many of them fellow students whom they sit next to in class, who are either fueled by their hatred for Jews or have no idea what they’re protesting, as they openly call for the elimination of the Jewish state of Israel.
Philip Klein of the National Review explains what it means when protesters are shouting the phrase “Free Palestine from the river to the sea” or “From the river to the sea, Palestine will be free” may seem innocuous to those unfamiliar with the geography of the region, but in reality, it represents calls for genocide against Jews.
Those of us who follow these issues closely have recoiled whenever we hear the phrase chanted at rallies around the world, or, as was the case last night, projected in massive letters on the library of my alma mater, George Washington University. We may take it for granted that everybody else understands why these words are so alarming. But it strikes me that, to the unacquainted, saying, “Free Palestine from the river to the sea” may seem like an innocent call for people to be free. How could that be objectionable?
Well, the issue is that “from the river to the sea” refers to the entire area in between the Jordan River and the Mediterranean Sea — an area that encompasses not just territories captured by Israel in 1967 during the Six-Day War, but the entirety of Israel. Referring to that entire area as “Palestine” is not a call to end the occupation, to create a two-state solution, or even to return Israel to the borders that existed before 1967. It is a call for the elimination of Israel in its entirety. Israel is home to nearly half of the world’s Jewish population. The only way you can eliminate Israel and turn that whole area into Palestine is by killing millions of Jews.
There is simply no way of getting around the fact that anybody who utters the phrase “Free Palestine from the river to the sea” is advocating genocide.
Today, House Republicans stood up to colleges allowing radical anti-semitic protesters on campuses and put American universities and colleges on notice that they will lose their taxpayer funding away if officials at these so-called institutions of higher learning don’t put an end to these hateful and, at times, violent protests.
A rabbi at Harvard University explains that the university asked them to hide their menorah at night so it wouldn’t be destroyed on the campus “and it wouldn’t look good.” The rabbi also talks about a Jewish student who admits he looks in the mirror before he heads off to class to make sure there are no outward signs of him being a Jew before he leaves his room.
Would Democrat Party leaders like Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortz and Rep. Jamaal Bowman, who have expressed their support for the pro-Palestine/Hamas protests, offer the same support for white supremacists calling for the extermination of blacks on campuses across America?
‘You Guys Put Yourself in That Position’: Columbia Protest Leader Struggles for Words as Reporters Expose Hypocrisy for Demanding University to Feed Protesters Who Occupied Hamilton Hall (VIDEO) By Jim Hᴏft
Apr. 30, 2024 6:20 pm – A Columbia University protest leader was caught in a cycle of contradictions when reporters questioned the logic behind the protestors’ demands for food and water after they had unlawfully taken over Hamilton Hall.
The protest escalated dramatically overnight, with the group smashing windows and forcefully entering the building. The Hamas supporters fortified their position by barricading doors and covering windows, effectively taking control of the academic building.
The occupation began around half past midnight following a standoff on the university’s academic lawn, where protesters had set up roughly 120 tents. The move to storm Hamilton Hall, a central location used by university deans, came shortly after the university administration took action to suspend those refusing to dismantle their encampment.
A Columbia facilities worker recounted the harrowing experience of being held against his will by the protesters. “They held me hostage,” the worker disclosed to the Columbia Spectator after being released.
The protesters have laid out clear demands: for Columbia University to divest from Israel, increase transparency regarding their financial affiliations, and grant amnesty to all students involved in the prolonged demonstrations, Fox News reported.
Protestors are now demanding that the university provide them with food and water, essential supplies they were cut off from due to their own barricades. They argue that their basic needs should be met despite their aggressive actions.
A reporter challenged the protest leader, asking why the university should cater to the needs of those who unlawfully occupied its property.
“Why should the university be obligated to provide food to people who’ve taken over a building?” the reporter asked.
The leader’s response was a mix of entitlement and confusion, first asserting an obligation due to paid meal plans, then scrambling to clarify the nature of their requests for “basic humanitarian aid.”
The conversation became increasingly muddled as the reporter pointed out the self-inflicted nature of the situation, with the protest leader contradicting earlier statements by saying they were not asking for direct provision but rather non-interference with outside aid – a commitment they sought from the university.
Protest Leader: “Well, first of all, we’re saying that they’re obligated to provide food to students who pay for a meal plan here.”
Reporter: “But you mentioned that there was a request that food and water be brought in.”
Protest Leader: “Unless I misunderstood. To allow it to be brought in. I guess it’s ultimately a question of what community and obligation Columbia feels it has to its students. Do you want students to die of dehydration and starvation or get severely ill, even if they disagree with you? If the answer is no, then you should allow basic… I mean, it’s crazy to say because we’re on an Ivy League campus, but this is basic humanitarian aid we’re asking for. Could people please have a glass of water?”
Reporter: “Don’t they have water? But they did put themselves in that very deliberately in that situation and in that position. So it seems like you’re saying, ‘We want to be revolutionaries. We want to take up this building. Now, would you please bring us food and water?’”
Protest Leader: “Nobody’s asking them to bring anything. We’re asking them to not violently stop us from bringing in basic humanitarian aid.”
As the dialogue continued, the leader’s position became less clear, with them admitting uncertainty over whether attempts to deliver food had been made or prevented, revealing cracks in the protesters’ front.
Second reporter: They’re stopping the delivery of food?
Protest Leader: We are looking for a commitment from them that they will not stop it.
Second reporter: But they haven’t stopped it yet?
Protest Leader: Well… I don’t… I am not… I don’t know to what extent it has been attempted, but we’re looking for a commitment.
Investigative reporter Jordan Schachtel was able to identify the Pro-Hamas spokesperson.
“I did a quick search and found that this lady, who refused to reveal her name, is named Johannah King-Slutzky. She is a paid instructor & PhD candidate at Columbia studying “theories of the imagination & poetry as interpreted through a Marxian lens.” No, I’m not making this up,” Schachtel wrote on X.

BREAKING: Biden Regime is Considering Flooding US with ‘Refugees’ From Gaza By Cristina Laila
Apr. 30, 2024 5:20 pm – Here we go.
The Biden Regime is considering ‘welcoming’ so-called ‘refugees’ from Gaza into the United States.
According to internal federal documents obtained by CBS News, the Biden Regime is considering resettling Palestinians who have family members in the US.
Egypt doesn’t even want to take in refugees from Gaza!
The US will work with Egypt to resettle Palestinian refugees who have escaped there.
CBS News reported:
The Biden administration is considering bringing certain Palestinians to the U.S. as refugees, a move that would offer a permanent safe haven to some of those fleeing war-torn Gaza, according to internal federal government documents obtained by CBS News.
In recent weeks, the documents show, senior officials across several federal U.S. agencies have discussed the practicality of different options to resettle Palestinians from Gaza who have immediate family members who are American citizens or permanent residents.
One of those proposals involves using the decades-old United States Refugee Admissions Program to welcome Palestinians with U.S. ties who have managed to escape Gaza and enter neighboring Egypt, according to the inter-agency planning documents.
Top U.S. officials have also discussed getting additional Palestinians out of Gaza and processing them as refugees if they have American relatives, the documents show. The plans would require coordination with Egypt, which has so far refused to welcome large numbers of people from Gaza.
This is as Hamas supporters are violently taking over universities and demanding colleges stop doing business with companies with ties to Israel.
As TGP contributor Ben Wetmore reported last week, part of the $9 billion in relief being sent to the Palestinians of the Gaza Strip, claims a former Congressman who sat for years on the Foreign Affairs Committee, is secret funding for massive Palestinian resettlement in America and Canada.
Rep. Paul Gosar (R-AZ) last week said that the billions being sent to Gaza are suspicious in that the funds seem disconnected from the reality of a true humanitarian mission. The funds are legally worded in such a way as to give the Biden Regime the ability to do whatever it wants with the money.
As TGP’s Ben Wetmore noted, Congressman Steve Stockman said the Biden Regime and Deep State are planning a massive resettlement of Palestinians to the West.
“The $9 billion in relief aid wasn’t meant to actually help the Palestinians who need it,” Stockman said. “They structured it as ‘humanitarian aid’ because legally, that definition is so broad that they can repurpose the aid however they want. It’s a classic Congressional con game with this funding. It’s part of the billions and trillions spent every year by the deep state to accomplish its goals, and most of it is right out in the open.”
“They are going to use this money to resettle Palestinians in America, using this pier, the same way the militant left used Muslim refugees from Syria to colonize Europe.”
WATCH: Hamas Supporter Gets Triggered and Shuts Down Interview When Confronted with Facts by Fox News Reporter By Jim Hᴏft
Apr. 30, 2024 3:20 pm – Fox News correspondent Lawrence Jones interviewed an anti-Israel protester on live television, resulting in an exchange that ended abruptly when the protester could not respond to factual challenges.
The Gateway Pundit previously reported that the ‘Islamo-Communist revolution’ occurring on college campuses advanced further overnight with the takeover of Hamilton Hall at Columbia University in New York City.
Dozens of Hamas supporters, who have been staging an ‘occupy’ protest against Israel and the United States, smashed windows and stormed the building, apparently unimpeded by law enforcement, while hundreds more gathered outside to secure the entrances.

Joe Biden’s DOJ Accused of Brutal Treatment of Jailed Pro-Life Grandmother: Prolonged Solitary, Paraded in Court in Shackles (Video) by Margaret Flavin
Apr. 30, 2024 12:00 pm – Joe Biden’s DOJ/FBI is hunting down pro-life, conservative grandmas while ignoring Antifa and BLM militants and the radical Hamas supporters shutting down and terrorizing college campuses.
Under Biden, the DOJ weaponized the Freedom of Access to Clinic Entrances (FACE) Act, a 1994 law that prohibits interfering with anyone obtaining or providing “reproductive health services,” as a punishment for the Supreme Court’s reversal of Roe v. Wade in June 2022.
After the Supreme Court ruling, Biden formed the DOJ-led Reproductive Rights Task Force to enforce the act.
According to The Epoch Times, The FACE Act has now been used 130 times against pro-life individuals but only used three times against pro-abortion protesters.
In 2020, a group of pro-life activists entered an abortion clinic in Washington DC and ‘blocked’ women from seeking abortions.

The DOJ said the group entered the facility and blocked access using their bodies, furniture, chains, and ropes and live-streamed their activity on social media, which, according to the DOJ, is a felony conspiracy.
In September 2023, Lauren Handy, 28, of Alexandria, Virginia; John Hinshaw, 67, of Levittown, New York; Heather Idoni, 61, of Linden, Michigan; William Goodman, 52, of Bronx, New York; and Herb Geraghty, 25, of Pittsburgh were found guilty of conspiring to blockade access to the clinic.
Idoni, a mother of 15, including 10 boys she and her husband adopted from Ukraine, is facing a sentence of up to 50 years in federal prison and over $1 million in fines for her participation in pro-life protests in Washington, D.C., Michigan, and Tennessee.
Sentencing for Idoni and the other pro-lifers in the Washington D.C. case will take place in mid-May.
Idoni was also convicted for praying and singing hymns in the hallway of a clinic in Tennessee, and she currently awaits trial for two additional FACE violations in Michigan.
Idoni recently spoke with LifeSiteNews and shared the abuses she alleges she has faced while incarcerated.
Heather Idoni, a defendant in the Washington, D.C., FACE (Freedom to Access Clinic Entrances) Act trials, told LifeSiteNews that she has been subjected to 22 days of solitary confinement. In an exclusive interview, she said that she received this punishment for sharing food with fellow prisoners. Idoni alleged that she was allowed to walk outside her cell only for two hours in the middle of the night each day and that the lights of her cell were continually kept on. Idoni has been in prison since she was convicted last autumn.
Cal Zastro, a fellow pro-life advocate who has also been convicted of violating the FACE Act, told LifeSiteNews that “when Idoni was brought into the courtroom for a trial in Nashville, the U.S. marshal had the middle-aged woman shackled at the wrists, waist, and feet as if she were a dangerous criminal.”
Zastro said that, upon entering the courtroom, the shocked judge ordered the shackles removed. Initially the marshal agreed to remove the shackles from only one wrist to allow Idoni freedom to write, a concession necessary for her to take notes, as she was then representing herself in court. Only at the insistence of the indignant judge were the shackles of both wrists finally removed, although the marshal left the bars around her waist and feet.

Judge Gives Trump ‘Permission’ to Attend Son Barron’s High School Graduation By Cristina Laila
Apr. 30, 2024 2:00 pm – Radical far-left New York Judge Juan Merchan on Tuesday fined President Trump $9,000 for speaking out in his own defense and violating his gag order in the ongoing lawfare trial in New York City.
Merchan also threatened President Trump with jail if he continued to publicly defend himself in the case.
The judge gave Trump ‘permission’ to attend his son Barron’s high school graduation ceremony on May 17 in Palm Beach, Florida.
“The judge presiding over the NY v. Trump trial in Manhattan granted former President Trump permission on Tuesday to attend his son’s high school graduation in Florida next month.” Fox News reported. “I don’t think the May 17 date is a problem,” Judge Juan Merchan told the court Tuesday morning of Barron Trump’s graduation date.
After refusing to recuse himself, Judge Juan Merchan earlier this month threatened to put President Trump in jail if he didn’t show up for trial.
Earlier this month President Trump asked the judge if he could skip the trial to attend his son Barron’s graduation.
Judge Merchan said that the decision “really depends on if we are on time and where we are in the trial.”
After major backlash the judge gave Trump ‘permission’ to attend his own son’s high school graduation.
[Ed.: The $9000 will be promptly refunded when Marchan gets prosecuted and disbarred. But, “at this point”, as Hillary is quoted, Trump won’t get re-elected, despite the fact that we will elect him. Discuss.]
Pro-Gaza Protesters Vandalize GW University Campus, Desecrate George Washington Statue with Anti-American Graffiti – VIDEOS By Jim Hoft
Apr. 30, 2024 1:40 pm – Young radical leftists vandalized the George Washington statue at George Washington University in Washington DC on Monday.
The historic campus is nestled between the White House, the Kennedy Center and a number of federal and international agencies.
Clay Travis posted this video. Notice the writing on the base of the statue.
These people HATE the Jews and HATE America.
FOX News reporter Griff Jenkins ran a live report from GW quad where they protests were taking place.
Vigilant News reported:
Protesters at George Washington University in D.C. have defaced their own campus and vandalized the statue of the school’s namesake and America’s founder, George Washington.
Fox News sent a camera crew to the campus to document the damage caused by recent ‘pro-Palestine’ protests over the past few days.
A reporter walked through the encampment, expressing shock at the extent of the damage and the disregard for the campus’s historical significance.
“The signature statue here, George Washington himself, has been draped in a Palestine flag and also the kaffiyeh, which is a traditional headdress, a black and white headdress that’s worn by Palestinians.”
As the reporter approached the monument, it became clear that the vandals had done more than just drape the flag.
“This is George Washington, the statue here. Graffitied, covered in stickers.”
“Genocidal”
“Warmonger”
George Washington University was founded in 1821 through an Act of Congress signed by then-President James Monroe. The university was named after George Washington, who had advocated for a national university in the U.S. to educate future leaders of the country.

IT WAS ALL A SETUP: Trump Slams Jack Smith After Bombshell Documents Prove Coordinated Legal Assault by Biden DOJ, NARA (VIDEO) By Cristina Laila
Apr. 30, 2024 11:45 am – President Trump on Tuesday slammed Jack Smith in remarks outside of a courthouse in New York City.
Trump went after Jack Smith in a Truth Social post on Saturday night after bombshell documents revealed the Biden DOJ coordinated with the National Archives (NARA).
“Wow! It looks like Deranged Jack Smith, a sick PSYCHO, got caught. BIG “STUFF!” See story in Rob Schmitt opening on NEWSMAX. AMAZING — MAKE AMERICA GREAT AGAIN!”
Trump continued his attack against Special Counsel Jack Smith on Tuesday morning in remarks outside the New York State courthouse.
“You probably saw last night that Jack Smith got caught with his hand in the cookie jar. It was released late last night and it’s a big story,” Trump said. “The documents case is a hoax, created by them for election interference purposes. That one looks like it’s going asunder.”
Trump continued, “The whole thing is a hoax. All of them are hoaxes, including the civil cases. They’re controlled by the White House, they’re controlled by Democrat judges and prosecutors… and the people are getting it.”
“The public has figured it out because the poll numbers are the highest they’ve ever been,” he added.

Judge Aileen Cannon unsealed records in Jack Smith’s classified docs case against Trump that reveal Biden’s White House and DOJ were coordinating with National Archives general counsel Gary Stern.
The day before Jack Smith indicted Trump in the classified documents case last June, NARA’s general counsel Gary Stern was at the Biden White House and met with Joe Biden’s White House lawyer Richard Sauber.
NARA’s general counsel Gary Stern was working with Biden’s White House and DOJ as early as August 2021 (one year before the Mar-a-Lago raid).
Columbia University suspends press access on campus amid pro-Palestine protests By Nicholas Ballasy
“Media access to campus is suspended. Campus is accessible only to CUID-holders and essential personnel as a safety measure and that includes media,” the University announced.
April 30, 2024 12:16pm – Columbia University banned media access on its campus Tuesday as pro-Palestine protests continue.
“Media access to campus is suspended. Campus is accessible only to CUID-holders and essential personnel as a safety measure and that includes media,” read an announcement on the university website.
The university also revealed that early Tuesday morning, “a group of protestors occupied Hamilton Hall on the Morningside campus of Columbia University.”
To protect the safety of the community during the “protest activity,” the university said it has asked students and faculty to “avoid coming to the Morningside campus to do so; essential personnel should report to work according to university policy.”
The university also said that “access to campus has been limited to students residing in residential buildings on campus and employees who provide essential services to campus buildings, labs, and residential student life.”

Justice Kavanaugh Warns Of Vicious Cycle Of Malicious Prosecutions That Could End Presidency by Tom Ozimek
MONDAY, APR 29, 2024 – 05:11 AM – During Thursday’s deliberations at the U.S. Supreme Court on former President Donald Trump’s immunity claim, Supreme Court Justice Brett Kavanaugh warned that a decision in the case has future implications for whether future presidents are shielded from vicious cycles of malicious prosecution that could effectively end the presidency as we know it.
President Trump was indicted by special counsel Jack Smith in August 2023 on charges of conspiring to overturn the results of the 2020 election.
Pleading not guilty, the former president has argued that he should receive absolute immunity from criminal prosecution for acts that fell within the scope of his official duties. The exception to this immunity, he has argued, is if Congress impeaches and convicts him on charges.
A federal appeals court rejected that argument, claiming that presidents must face prosecution for alleged criminal wrongdoing.
The question that is now before the Supreme Court is: “Whether and if so to what extent does a former president enjoy presidential immunity from criminal prosecution for conduct alleged to involve official acts during his tenure in office?”
During Thursday’s deliberations, the justices weighed the claim of absolute immunity that, if adopted, would stop Mr. Smith’s prosecution of the former president dead in its tracks.
Several conservative justices suggested they favor imposing limits on the prosecution of former presidents, while highlighting the importance of the case for the future.
Justice Kavanaugh said that when presidents are subject to prosecution, history shows that it’s not going to stop.
“It’s going to cycle back and be used against the current president or the next president … and the next president and the next president after that.”
Justice Neil Gorsuch, who said that the court is “writing a rule for the ages,” along with Justice Samuel Alito and Justice Kavanaugh all said that their concern was not so much the case against President Trump, but rather the effect of the ruling on future presidencies.
“This case has huge implications for the presidency, for the future of the presidency, for the future of the country,” Justice Kavanaugh said.
Democracy in Action: Louisiana Residents Win Right to Secede from Democrat-Run State Capital and Create their Own City By Cullen Linebarger
Apr. 30, 2024 10:00 am – Residents in Louisiana’s Democrat-run capital city have won a historic battle to secede and create their own city following a lengthy court battle.
As the New York Times reported, the Louisiana Supreme Court cleared the way on Friday for a group of mostly-white, affluent residents of Baton Rouge to secede and form the new city of St. George. This is the first city incorporated in the Pelican State in almost two decades.
In the 4-3 ruling, the justices found that lower courts were wrong in blocking St George’s creation over concerns of its financial viability.
Andrew Murrell, one of the leaders of the St. George movement, released the following statement after the Louisiana Supreme Court’s decision.
This is the culmination of citizens exercising their constitutional rights. We voted and we won.
Whether you are for or you are against St. George, now is your opportunity, a historic opportunity, to create a city from the beginning, from the ground up. It’s your ideas, it’s your policies, it’s your way of life and now you can come together and put those out there and have someone accountable to you.
Now, we begin the process of delivering on our promises of a better city. We welcome both our friends and foes to the table to create St. George.

EXCLUSIVE: Evidence Shows Adam Schiff Falsely Registered, Ineligibly Voted, and/or Committed Mortgage Fraud by Joe Hoft
Apr. 30, 2024 8:00 am – Evidence Shows that Rep. Adam Schiff, who is running for US Senate in California, has committed election fraud, has ineligibly voted, and/or committed mortgage fraud.
One year ago, in April 2023, we reported that an ethics complaint was filed against corrupt US Rep. Adam Schiff. Today, we can report that Schiff’s corrupt and even criminal acts involve much more.
In April 2023 we reported at The Gateway Pundit that an ethics complaint had been filed against US Rep. Adam Schiff.
TGP reported:
US Congressman Adam Schiff from California is in deep trouble. An ethics complaint has been filed against Schiff by a concerned citizen alleging that Schiff has committed election and voter fraud claiming he was both a citizen of California and Maryland.
A concerned citizen from the state of California uncovered what is believed to be crimes committed by Adam Schiff.
In 2000 Schiff was elected to Congress and has served as a US House member from the state of California ever since. Schiff reportedly purchased a home in Maryland with his wife in 2003 stating they would occupy this home for 12 consecutive months as their “primary residence”. Despite this claim, Schiff continued to vote in California.
Schiff refinanced his home in 2009, 2010, 2011 and 2013 claiming the Maryland home was his primary residence. In 2009, a House Ethics investigation claimed that Schiff did this and Schiff claimed it was an error and he repaid the exempt taxes to the state of Maryland.
A fellow member of Congress was charged with criminal counts for doing the same thing, Steven Watkins, of Oklahoma.
In addition, the amount of the home mortgage has remained basically the same this entire time. Congress should look into this as well.
When asked about his residence in Maryland a couple of months ago while on the campaign trail running for US Senate in California, Schiff called it a “non-issue.” He added that his primary residence was in California and neglected to mention that he had repeatedly claimed his Maryland home was his primary residence.
It turns out that there is much, much more to this story.
Earlier this month, Californian Chris Bish who is running for US Congress in California’s District 6 issued a draft report along with Darren Ellis who is running for California State Assembly. The report is below, but here are a few highlights.

“We Will Honor All the Martyrs” – Hamas Supporters at Columbia University Smash Windows, Take Control of Hamilton Hall in Overnight Attack (VIDEOS) By Kristinn Taylor
Apr. 30, 2024 2:19 am – The Islamo-Communist revolution taking place on college campuses took another step forward overnight with the takeover of Hamilton Hall at Columbia University in New York City. Dozens of Hamas supporters who have been staging a campus ‘occupy protest’ against Israel and the United States smashed windows and stormed the building apparently unimpeded by law enforcement while hundreds more gathered outside the building to secure the entrances.
The attack came after a day of dithering by campus administrators.
Violent Protests Erupt at Virginia Commonwealth University: Air-Raid Sirens Sound, Riot Police Deployed, and Shelter-in-Place Order Issued (VIDEO) By Jim Hᴏft
Apr. 29, 2024 10:00 pm – Virginia Commonwealth University has become the latest epicenter of violent protests, as pro-Hamas supporters occupied parts of the campus, leading to a tense standoff with riot police. Authorities issued a shelter-in-place order for all students.
The confrontation began Monday morning when a group of student protesters established what they called a “Liberation Zone” outside the James Branch Cabell Library on VCU’s Monroe Park campus. The group displayed Palestinian flags and chanted “Free Palestine,” demanding an immediate ceasefire in Gaza and calling for VCU to sever all financial ties with Israel.
As the day progressed, tents were erected, and protesters fortified their position by forming a barrier around the zone.
As the day progressed, the situation intensified with pro-Hamas supporters occupying the library and courtyard. Police responded by deploying tear gas and pepper spray after protesters hurled objects at officers.
Social media posts showed tense standoffs between law enforcement and demonstrators, with the latter demanding that VCU disclose and divest any financial ties to Israel and protect pro-Palestinian speech on campus.
Columbia Encampment Lives On After Another Deadline From President Shafik Passes [VIDEOS] Jessica Costescu
Unsanctioned student protesters ignore Shafik’s plea to ‘voluntarily disperse’
April 29, 2024 MANHATTAN — Columbia University president Minouche Shafik again set a deadline for unsanctioned student protesters to vacate their “Gaza Solidarity” encampment. Hours after that deadline passed, the encampment still stands.
Shafik sent students a Monday morning letter asking them to “voluntarily disperse” from the encampment by 2 p.m. or face suspension. The students refused, voting unanimously to remain. Some wrote messages on the letters such as “COLUMBIA WILL BURN” and “I AINT READING ALL THAT FREE PALESTINE.” Others pledged to “DEFEND THE CAMP” and “escalate” their demonstrations.
As the deadline approached, protesters gathered outside the campus gates, chanting, “Israel will fall.” Columbia faculty members rushed to the encampment, eventually forming a wall around its entrance to help the student protesters. At 2:30 p.m., student leaders held a defiant press conference, saying they will “not be moved unless by force.”
“It’s past two,” one student said. “We do not abide by university pressure.” Protesters also chanted, “If we don’t get no justice, then they will get no peace,” “We don’t want no two state, we want all of it,” and “From the river to the sea, Palestine is all you’ll see.”
Florida Cracks Down on Pro-Hamas Protestors ACT FOR AMERICA
University Suspensions and Terminations!
APR 30, 2024
UF student protestors, staff threatened with suspension, termination over protest rules Nathaniel Rodriguez | Channel 8 News | 4-28-24 | Condensed
TAMPA, Fla. (WFLA) — The University of Florida threatened student protestors with suspension and even banishment if they violated rules surrounding protest conduct, according to a letter sent to students.
As with other college campuses across the nation, the University of Florida has been the site of pro-Palestinian student protests.
Due to the conflicts between students and law enforcement at other colleges like Columbia University and the University of Southern California, the University of Florida released a set of rules of allowable and prohibited protesting actions.
While students are allowed to free speech and holding signs, the university has banned specific actions like using sound amplifiers like blowhorns, littering, building structures, or leaving unmanned signs.
The full list of prohibited activities and items is below:
- No amplified sound
- No demonstrations inside buildings
- No littering
- No sleeping
- No unmanned signs
- No blocking ingress/egress
- No building of structures (chairs, stakes, benches, tables)
- No camping, including tents, sleeping bags, pillows, etc.
- No disruption
- No threats
- No violence
- No weapons
- Any other items and/or activities deemed to be non-compliant with policy and regulations by university officials.
The university said if a student violates the rules, they would face suspension and a three-year trespass. University employees who commit these violations will also be trespassed and fired.
“The University of Florida will always protect speech and uphold the law,” the statement reads. “Peaceful protests are constitutionally protected. Camping, putting up structures, disrupting academic activity, or threatening others on university property is strictly prohibited. The University has clearly communicated this to our students and explained that they can exercise their free speech rights but breaking the law will result in an immediate trespassing order from UFPD and an interim suspension from Student Life.”
When asked about the restrictions, a student protestor told WUFT the rules would not stop the demonstrations.
“My one message is we will not be intimidated,” the protestor said. “We know our rights, and we are simply protesting. We are exercising our First Amendment right. We have every right to be here, and we will be here as long as we can.”
Wyoming Girl Scout Fined $400 for Selling Cookies in Her Grandparents’ Driveway By Cassandra Macdonald
Apr. 29, 2024 7:20 pm – A Wyoming Girl Scout has been fined $400 for selling cookies in her grandparent’s driveway.
Emma McCarroll, 13, nearly missed her sales goal due to a stickler municipal code officer in Pinedale.
The Cowboy State Daily reports:
The spat between the city and the Girl Scout and her mom began when the code enforcement officer asked the mom, Erica Fairbanks McCarroll, if she had the landowner’s permission to sell from the city’s Pine Avenue spot and park a vehicle in a driveway there.
Puzzled, Fairbanks McCarroll didn’t answer the officer’s question because the spot where she parked was in the driveway of her parents.
Nonetheless, the officer snapped photographs of their sales activity between March 13 and 15 to prove that Emma McCarroll had set up the stand, and mom had parked illegally in the driveway, which straddled the public sidewalk on Pine Avenue.
“I personally don’t think she ever understood that I was related to the Fairbanks, my parents who own the driveway,” Fairbanks McCarroll told the paper.
Pinedale Mayor Matt Murdock told the paper that the mother was told to move and had refused to do so.
“Sometimes I just think that government can be unreasonable,” Emma McCarroll said. “It wasn’t reasonable to be fined $400 for selling cookies in front on my grandparent’s property.”

JUST IN: Supreme Court Denies Peter Navarro’s Bid to be Freed from Prison While Appealing Conviction By Cristina Laila
Apr. 29, 2024 10:30 am -The US Supreme Court on Monday denied Dr. Peter Navarro’s bid to be freed from prison pending his appeal.
Excerpt from The Hill:
The Supreme Court’s denial of Navarro’s request follows his second ask to the nation’s highest court to set him free while he challenges his conviction.
By default, Navarro’s first emergency request to stay out of prison while appealing the conviction went to Chief Justice John Roberts.
Roberts, who acted on the request alone, said in March that he would not pause Navarro’s four-month prison sentence as his appeal moves forward, forcing the onetime Trump adviser to report to a federal prison in Miami on March 19.
Navarro then renewed his motion to Justice Neil Gorsuch. As the court typically does to avoid repeated efforts, Gorsuch referred the matter to the full court for a vote. Navarro’s request was again denied.
The decision means that Navarro will likely serve his four-month prison term before arguing the appeal of his conviction before the U.S. Court of Appeals for the District of Columbia Circuit.
Last month Peter Navarro reported to prison for his 4-month sentence. He is the first high-ranking Trump aide to be imprisoned by the Biden Regime.
A federal appeals court previously denied Navarro’s request to remain out of jail.
The three-judge panel – all Obama appointees – included Judges Patricia Millett, Cornelia Pillard and Robert Wilkins.
“[T]he argument presupposes that privilege has actually been invoked in this case in some manner by the President,” the judges wrote in a two-page order, according to Politico. “That did not happen here.”
In September former Trump advisor Dr. Peter Navarro, 74, was convicted of criminal contempt of Congress for refusing to comply with a subpoena in Liz Cheney’s January 6 investigation.
Navarro did not comply with the subpoena because he said Trump told him to assert executive privilege.
Biden’s DOJ has abused Dr. Navarro throughout the entire process.
According to Navarro, the feds put him in leg irons and threw him in a cell last year.

CONFIRMED – IT WAS ALL A SETUP: New Evidence Affirms Previous TGP Reporting that Deep State Sent Documents to Mar-a Lago to Set Up Trump By Jim Hoft
Apr. 29, 2024 1:40 pm – President Trump shared last week that he believes the FBI stole his will. The FBI also stole 1,800 other items that were not documents that belonged to President Trump. This was not lawful or necessary.
It is also widely known at this point that Joe Biden who ordered the FBI access to Trump’s documents at Mar-a-Lago and President Trump’s personal belongings.
On pages 2-3 of the ruling Judge Cannon revealed that it was JOE BIDEN who ordered the FBI access to the Mar-a-Lago documents and President Trump’s personal belongings.
This was despite the Biden regime insisting they had nothing to do with the raid.
In September 2022, Joe Hoft at The Gateway Pundit reported that Chris Wray’s FBI created a fake crime scene at Trump’s home by adding their own documents to the scene and doctoring at least one photo. (more here).
The FBI created the crime scene, inserted their own documents, and then photoshopped the document. At the bottom of the photo provided to the court there is the number 2A, indicating that this was a crime scene photo as well as a type of tape measure across the bottom of the photo. The corrupt FBI threw the photos on the floor themselves. They staged this.
We know this because the containers were right next door. The documents would have been placed on a table had the FBI wanted to take a picture of the documents. Showing them as scattered across the floor is for show to indicate they were found this way, a lie we explain below. Also, the cabinets are right next to the documents, which is likely where they were stored. They weren’t stored on the floor.
As The Gateway Pundit previously reported, Biden’s corrupt FBI’s raid on Mar-a-Lago was all a set-up. We reported this when it happened. Now we have more evidence.
It was all another set up from our totally corrupt DOJ and FBI.
In November 2022, we reported at TGP that the FBI set up President Trump and inserted documents at the Mar-a-Lago raid.
1. We know that the FBI wanted to make this look like a crime scene.
We know this because at the bottom of the photo provided to the court there is the number 2A, indicating that this was a crime scene photo as well as a type of tape measure across the bottom of the photo. The corrupt FBI threw the photos on the floor themselves. They staged this.
Feds warn employers can be punished for failing to use preferred transgender pronouns, restrooms By John Solomon
EEOC’s landmark new regulatory guidance elevates gender identity as a protected class under discrimination laws like race, sex and religion.
April 29, 2024 2:20pm – In landmark guidance, the federal commission created to fight racial and sexual discrimination declared Monday that employers that fail to use a worker’s preferred pronoun or refuse them the chance to use the restroom of their choice will be engaging in prohibited harassment.
The U.S. Equal Opportunity Commission published the new harassment guidelines Monday after voting along partisan lines on Friday to approve them, even in the face of opposition from nearly two dozen red states. Three Democrat appointees approved the rules while two Republicans opposed them.
The new document elevates gender identity as a protected class under discrimination laws like race, sex and religion.
Prohibited harassment includes “repeated and intentional use of a name or pronoun inconsistent with the individual’s known gender identity (misgendering) or the denial of access to a bathroom or other sex-segregated facility consistent with the individual’s gender identity,” the new regulatory document declared.

Un-Informed Anti-Israel Protestors Have No Idea Gays are Routinely Killed in Palestine. Just Listen… By Grant Stinchfield
Apr. 29, 2024 10:15 am – The hatred for homosexuals in Gaza ranks a close second to the hatred of Jews. It’s not just Hamas that engages in “Honor Killings” of gay people in “Palestine,” but every day Palestinians do as well. In fact the punishment for being gay in Gaza is prison, torture and often death.
Yet that doesn’t stop the un-informed protest class of America to somehow back the Palestinians and Hamas at all cost. Even leftist members of the gay community seem to be all in for the destruction of Israel, and the love of the Palestinians. Their support stems from not only ignorance of what Sharia Law means for gays in Muslim areas, but an effort by the main stream media to cover up the sexual preference genocide going on inside Gaza.
“Stinchfield” uncovered audio of Muslims in Gaza and the United States openly calling for the imprisonment and death of all gay people. This revelation buy some of the most left leaning members of the LGBTQ community seems to be a shocker. Wait until you hear the proof of this hatred and the surprise that follows, in their own words.

U.S. Campuses: Grooming Terrorists by Bassam Tawil
April 29, 2024 at 5:00 am
- For these Arabs, including some Palestinians, there is nothing “pro-Palestinian” about supporting the Iran-backed Hamas terrorist group….
- Those who are chanting “we are all Hamas” on the streets of New York and U.S. college campuses are not helping the Palestinians of the Gaza Strip even slightly. They are being used as human shields by the terrorist group Hamas in its genocidal war against Israel and Jews.” — Loay Al-Shareef, social media influencer from the United Arab Emirates, X, April 23, 2024.
- “You would not survive a day in Gaza under Hamas, which demands that ‘infidels’ live with dignity only if they are subordinate to Islamists…. You do not understand Arabic, nor do you know Islam well enough to comprehend what awaits you if Hamas prevails (God forbid).” — Loay Al-Shareef, X, April 23, 2024.
- “[Y]ou would also be the target of hatred because radical Islamists like Hamas believe in eternal enmity towards Jews and Christians. They interpret the Quranic verse (“O you who believe, never take Jews and Christians as friends,” as timeless, applicable to all Jews and Christians forever.” — Loay Al-Shareef, X, April 23, 2024.
- “Hamas’ approach, in other words, has been a disaster for Palestinians in Gaza…. If universities cannot instil their students with peaceful, tolerant, and coexistent attitudes, then they have failed as institutions of higher learning.” — John Aziz, a British-Palestinian writer, Jewish Chronicle, April 22, 2024.
- “Violence has failed us for decades, and the only way to accomplish justice for Palestinians is through peace.” — Hamza Howidy, Palestinian from Gaza, X, April 25, 2024.
- By blocking the three Palestinian social media influences, the SJP, which claims to seek justice for the Palestinians, is proving that it does not care about freedom of speech for the Palestinians and is as intolerant as Hamas and other terrorist groups to criticism.
- “The Muslim Brotherhood is a cancer on every university campus.” – Amjad Taha, Emirati researcher and journalist, X, April 23, 2024.
Faculty voice condemnation of IU actions after 22 more arrested at pro-Palestine protests Brian Rosenzweig
April 28, 2024 8:01 p.m. ET (The Herald-Times) – Indiana State Police troopers strengthened their response with arrests on Saturday as pro-Palestinian protesters continued to hold an encampment for Gaza on Indiana University’s Dunn Meadow. Protesters remained Sunday in Dunn Meadow but their numbers were fewer and there was no police action from the morning through at least 8 p.m.
Indiana University Police Department and ISP officers arrested 22 people around noon Saturday after protesters refused to take down tents that ISP troopers said violated policy at IU. ISP troopers dressed in full-black riot gear used riot shields, batons and zip ties to advance on and arrest protesters surrounding the encampment. Detainees were again taken to the Harry Gladstein Fieldhouse and then to Monroe County Jail.
The right of protesters to use tents at Dunn Meadow has been the central point of conflict in police response to the encampment. The day before the pro-Palestine encampment began, IU quietly changed its policies to require “structures,” including tents, to be registered in advance.
That move has drawn condemnations from First Amendment experts inside and outside of IU, who say the action, its timing and the lack of clear communication from IU and ISP troopers amounts to “viewpoint discrimination.”
IU and IUPD spokespeople still have not responded to questions from The Herald-Times about why policies were changed the day before the pro-Palestine encampment began and why police officers didn’t clarify the new policy to protesters.
Fallout from IU action:‘Serious First Amendment problem’: A day before protests, IU changed a free assembly policy
Key student organizer arrested, given 5-year ban
Bryce Greene, the founder and graduate student adviser for IU’s Palestine Solidarity Committee who’s been a key organizer for the pro-Palestine encampment, was detained and given a trespass charge by IUPD on Saturday. Greene was given a five-year ban from all IU Bloomington properties. He says he plans to appeal the ban, and in the meantime, is continuing to support the Dunn Meadow protest on the public sidewalks surrounding campus.
Greene said he believes the response of IU and ISP to protesters has helped to further motivate the cause.
“Hour over hour, we have more people,” Greene said. “We have more people than we did yesterday. It’s going strong.”
Faculty condemnations of IU’s actions grow
A growing number of faculty members are calling on IU President Pamela Whitten and Provost Rahul Shrivastav to resign from their positions for their response to the protests. On Sunday a petition distributed to faculty by anthropology professor Shane Greene calling for Whitten and Shrivastav’s resignation has garnered over 450 signatures, although not every signature has a name attached to it, making it hard to gauge faculty numbers.
[Ed.: Note to readers: “pro-palestine” means in favor of abolishing Israel, and killing the Jews. It means support for ISIS, HAMAS, Hezbolla, Iran, and an Islamic Caliphate. There is no ‘palestine’! These gullible suckers think they are fighting for a righteous cause, for freedom! They’ve been had, because they are literally stupid idiots.]
Azerbaijan obliterates church and entire Christian village in Nagorno-Karabakh BY ROBERT SPENCER
This kind of thing has happened all over what is known as the Islamic world.
APR 27, 2024 1:00 PM – “Church, Entire Village ‘Erased’ In Azerbaijan’s Recaptured Nagorno-Karabakh,” by Amos Chapple, RFE/RL, April 24, 2024:
A picture of a prayer session inside the St. John the Baptist Church in Nagorno-Karabakh was posted to Twitter by Azerbaijani parliament member Jala Ahmadova in July 2021 to demonstrate what she called an “atmosphere of ethnic and religious tolerance,” after Azerbaijan recaptured Susa, a town known in Armenian as Shushi.
Today that church, built by Armenians in the 19th century, no longer exists.
Images released recently by the monitoring group Caucasus Heritage Watch indicate that the Susa/Shushi church, which was wrapped in scaffolding through much of its time under Azerbaijani control, was demolished in the winter of 2023-24.
Baku retook control of Susa/Shushi from ethnic Armenian forces in November 2020 after launching a war to retake territory internationally recognized as Azerbaijani land.
Two kilometers south of the erased church, satellite images released in April reveal that an entire village appears to have been razed to the ground. Today a large mosque is under construction in the broken soil where a settlement once stood, which was known in Armenian as Karintak and as Dasalti in Azeri.
International Criminal Court officials: US green-lighted arrest warrants for Israeli leaders, including Netanyahu BY ROBERT SPENCER
International Criminal Court officials: US green-lighted arrest warrants for Israeli leaders, including Netanyahu
APR 27, 2024 5:00 PM – “The fear of arrest warrants for Israeli officials: ‘It would not have been possible without a “green light” from the US,’” translated from “החשש מצווי מעצר לבכירים ישראלים: “לא היה מתאפשר בלי ‘אור ירוק’ מארה”ב” by Amit Segal, Mako, April 24, 2024:
Very senior officials associated with the International Criminal Court in The Hague have spoken about Israel’s fear of arrest warrants for senior officials in the context of the war in Gaza. The officials told N12 that the intention to issue such orders would not have been possible without American consent.
According to them, the chief prosecutor in The Hague, Karim Khan, was elected to his position three years ago with American assistance. After being elected, Khan closed two cases that greatly troubled the Americans: one related to undeclared detention cells related to Afghanistan in Europe, and the other also related to war crimes committed in Afghanistan.
Regarding the intention to issue arrest warrants for senior Israelis, the sources at The Hague said that it is impossible that the chief prosecutor would have decided on such a dramatic step, in a war that is still ongoing, with very little evidence, if he had not at least had a “green light” from the Americans. If this is true, this is another and unprecedented low in relations between Israel and the US, at a very sensitive time, on the eve of the ground entry to Rafah.
Reports that have recently arrived in Jerusalem indicate that the chance of issuing arrest warrants has increased dramatically, possibly as soon as next month. Last week, the Prime Minister’s Office held an urgent discussion on the issue, in which serious concerns were raised about allowing the issuance of arrest warrants against senior Israeli security and political leaders, including against Netanyahu himself.
Terrorists Launch Attacks on Gaza Pier that the Biden Regime is Building (For Terrorists) By Pamela Geller
April 26, 2024 – Biden is building the pier for terrorists. Terrorists launch attacks on Americans building the pier. No pushback. No media coverage.
“The pier is not temporary or about delivering aid, it’s about giving the terrorists a permanent gateway to the world.”
Daniel Greenfield writes:
Five Americans are still being held hostage by Hamas and President Biden has sent no troops to help them, but in his State of the Union address he promised to send troops to build a pier for Gaza.
The estimated over 1,000 troops will spend as long as two months laboring to build a floating pier in a war zone, under threat of attack, to help transfer aid to the Hamas supporters living in Gaza.
[…]
The Trojan pier is not only about bypassing Israel, but also Egypt. The administration’s vision is that the new arrangement will allow it to directly move materials into Gaza without having to get permission from either Israel or Egypt. And that’s a major victory for the terrorists.
TOI: Members of a terror group in the Gaza Strip launched mortars at an under-construction pier for a US-led project to bring aid into the Palestinian enclave yesterday, the military says. The mortar attack occurred as United Nations officials were touring the site with Israeli troops on the coast of central Gaza, the IDF says in response to a query on the incident.
The IDF says the UN officials were rushed to a shelter by troops amid the attack. UN officials also confirmed the mortar attack to the Associated Press, saying there were no injuries.
“The terrorist organizations continue to systematically harm humanitarian efforts while risking the lives of UN workers, while Israel allows the supply of aid to the residents of the Gaza Strip,” the IDF adds.
Terrorists Launch Attacks on Americans Building Biden’s Gaza Pier

Terrorists operating in the Gaza Strip launched a series of attacks on Americans building President Joe Biden’s “humanitarian pier” this week.
“Gazan terrorists fired mortar shells on Wednesday towards the construction work on the humanitarian pier being built off the coast of Gaza,” i24 News reports. “i24NEWS has learned that several pieces of American engineering equipment were damaged in the attack. In addition, one person was slightly injured while running to a protected area.”

Biden Regime Opening Overseas Immigration Offices To Bring In Muslim Migrants From Jihad Regions As Pro-Terror Riots Roil America By Pamela Geller
April 27, 2024 – Trump banned jihad immigration and the country was safer for it. This is diabolical.
President Joe Biden’s pro-migration border chief is opening new processing centers for Muslim migrants, amid pro-HAMAS riots in U.S. cities and just after Congress granted $3.5 billion more for migration within the $95 billion aid package
Biden Admin Expands Paths to Muslim Refugees with USCIS Announcement
Biden Administration To Open Two New Overseas Immigration Offices To Process Middle East Refugees
‘Not only did the “foreign aid” bill that passed yesterday do nothing about the mass migration invasion of America, it provided over $3.5 billion to help bring migrants from the Middle East to America,’ Senator Rubio says in a tweet.
By: NY Sun, April 24, 2024:
On the same day the Senate passed a foreign aid bill that infuriated some GOP lawmakers because it does nothing to secure America’s southern border, the Biden Administration announced that it will soon open two new immigration field offices at Doha, Qatar and Ankara, Turkey aimed at processing refugees from the Middle East.
“Opening these field offices establishes a [U.S. Citizenship and Immigration Services] presence and expertise in critical locations in the Middle East and is part of our commitment to the Biden-Harris administration’s efforts to facilitate safe, lawful, and orderly migration and family reunification,” the director of the USCIS, Ur M. Jaddou, said in a statement.
The offices, set to open in early May, will help process refugees from the Middle East and North Africa. The administration has set a ceiling for refugee admissions in 2024 at 125,000 refugees.
The announcement, the day before President Biden signed into law a bill aimed at providing foreign aid for Ukraine, Israel, and Taiwan, enraged Republican lawmakers who voted against the measure because it did not make any provisions for border security. Among those complaining about the new offices is Senator Rubio.
“Not only did the “foreign aid” bill that passed yesterday do nothing about the mass migration invasion of America, it provided over $3.5 billion to help bring migrants from the Middle East to America,” Mr. Rubio said in a tweet.

Anti-Israel Mob Shows Up at White House Correspondents’ Dinner, Harasses Attendees (VIDEOS) By Mike Lachance
Apr. 27, 2024 11:00 pm – Earlier this week, the anti-Israel mob vowed to ‘shut down’ the White House Correspondents’ Dinner, which is happening tonight. We reported on their plans.
Well, the mob kept their word. They showed up and they are making a total nuisance of themselves as usual.
Of course, the people they’re harassing are beltway journalists, so this is a bit entertaining.
ABC News reports:
Chants of ‘shame on you’ greet guests at White House correspondents’ dinner shadowed by war in Gaza
An election-year roast of President Joe Biden before journalists, celebrities and politicians at the annual White House correspondents’ dinner Saturday butted up against growing public discord over the Israel-Hamas war, with protests outside the event condemning both Biden’s handling of the conflict and the Western news’ media coverage of it.
In previous years, Biden, like most of his predecessors, has used the glitzy annual White House Correspondents’ Association gala to needle media coverage of his administration and jab at political rivals, notably Republican rival Donald Trump.
With hundreds of protesters rallying against the war in Gaza outside the event and concerns over the conflict and humanitarian crisis in Gaza and the perils for journalists covering the conflict, the war hung over this year’s event.
“Shame on you!” protesters draped in the traditional Palestinian keffiyeh cloth shouted, running after men in tuxedos and suits and women in long dresses who were holding clutch purses as guests hurried inside for the dinner.

FBI Pledge Weekend: Patriot Front Group Marches in Downtown Charleston, West Virginia – Elon Musk Weighs In By Jim Hoft
Apr. 27, 2024 8:40 pm – It must be another FBI freshman pledge weekend.
The Patriot Front “white supremacist” group went marching in Charleston, West Virginia this weekend.
They found a drummer for this weekend’s march and they were chanting something but it was hard to understand.
These deep state a$$holes aren’t fooling anyone.
This sounds about right: You know they’re feds because the mainstream media has absolutely no interest in outing them.
AND THERE IT IS: Campus Protester Says “We Must Have a Revolution so We Can Have a Socialist Reconstruction of the USA” (VIDEO) By Mike Lachance
Apr. 27, 2024 10:20 pm – In case you were wondering what all these campus protests are really all about, this should answer any remaining questions.
During an anti-Israel campus protest at George Washington University this weekend, a speaker said ‘We must have a revolution so we can have a socialist reconstruction of the United States of America.’
That’s the quiet part out loud right there. Do you think this is what the founders of George Washington University had in mind for their school?
Funny how the media is overlooking that. These are just protests, we’re told.
Demonstrations at GW University campus over Israel-Hamas war enter 3rd day
Pro-Palestinian student protests on and in front of George Washington University’s University Yard entered their third day on Saturday with no sign of slowing down.
While many protesters have abandoned the encampment on the yard, WTOP’s Linh Bui saw 15 tents in the new H Street encampment and over 50 protesters waking up on the street Saturday morning.
The Hatchet, the GW University student newspaper, reported that the number of demonstrators outside the yard swelled to somewhere between 200 and 250 around 11 p.m. Friday night on H Street, but dwindled to around 100 in the early morning hours on Saturday.
Most protesters, mix of students and nonstudents, moved onto the street and surrounding area Friday afternoon — taking their bags and tents with them — after university workers put up metal fencing around University Yard. The student news source reported that there were far less demonstrators in the original encampment as of Saturday morning.
This is Occupy Wall Street all over again, they’re just using the conflict in the Middle East as a cover cause.
Oops: Emory University Professor Admits to Hitting Police Officer Before She Was Arrested (Videos) By Kristinn Taylor
Apr. 27, 2024 9:15 pm – Emory University economics professor Caroline Fohlin went viral this week with video of her arrest as police cleared an illegal campus ‘occupy’ protest by Hamas supporters Thursday in Atlanta, Georgia. The shocking video of the female professor being forcibly taken to the ground by a police officer who needed a second officer to control the resisting Fohlin and then her hitting her head on the sidewalk was reposted and viewed millions of times worldwide.
Fohlin was one of two professors arrested at the protest Thursday. The other was Noëlle McAfee, the chair of Emory’s philosophy department.
Fohlin is married to Emory’s Dean of Admission, John F. Latting (He/Him/His).
Fohlin appeared in court on Friday where she was freed on $50 bond. Fohlin’s attorney Gregory Clement issued a statement Friday after her release stating she was not a protester and denying the charges against her, reported the Atlanta Journal-Constitution (scroll down) (excerpt):
All 23 people arrested at Thursday’s protest at Emory have been released from the Dekalb County Jail, records show.
Defendants were released on bond by 6:25 p.m., with all of them except two being released on signature bonds, which are cashless bonds usually used for minor or nonviolent offenses. Bonds were granted to the defendants Friday in magistrate court.
Among the first to be released Friday afternoon was Emory economics professor Caroline Fohlin, who is a tenured professor at the university. Fohlin was granted a $50 bond on a charge of simple battery against a police officer and disorderly conduct. Her arrest was caught on camera and went viral on social media.
“Caroline Fohlin was not a protester at Emory on April 25,” her attorney Gregory Clement said. “She emerged from her office, concerned only about the treatment of students on the quad. She looks forward to vigorously defending the accusations against her in court.”
Video clip of Fohlin admitting to hitting a police officer, “I impulsively hit him on the head very lightly to get his attention and they grabbed me and threw me to the ground and arrested me.”
Video clip of the arrest. Fohlin repeatedly cries out, “I am a professor!” Posted with video of McAfee being detained:
Riot Police Clear Out Hamas Agitators at Indiana University (VIDEOS) By David Greyson
Apr. 27, 2024 9:00 pm – Hamas agitators have infested Universities across America disrupting education and endangering people’s lives.
Over 33 people were arrested on Thursday at Indiana University for staging pro-Hamas “protests” at Dunn Meadow.
The agitators had tents and other structures, which according to the University, was a violation of the school’s policy.
According to the University provost, Dunn Meadow is a place where “expression on all subjects” is permitted
BLOOMINGTON, Ind. (WISH) — At least 33 people were arrested during a Thursday rally at Indiana University’s Dunn Meadow in support of Palestine, law enforcement agencies tell News 8.
The people were arrested for having structures, including tents, at their protest. IU said this violates a university policy and directed News 8 to this link.
Dunn Meadow is designated as a gathering spot for “expression on all subjects,” according to a policy listed under the Office of the Provost.
“The protest started Thursday morning in Dunn Meadow, a park which happens to be across the street from Chabad House of Bloomington, a resource for Jewish people on the campus,” WISHTV 8 reported.
Although the First Amendment to the United States Constitution protects free speech, a gathering that is not peaceful does not fall under its confines.
“Congress shall make no law respecting an establishment of religion, or prohibiting the free exercise thereof; or abridging the freedom of speech, or of the press; or the right of the people peaceably to assemble, and to petition the Government for a redress of grievances.” First Amendment to the US Constitution.

Numerous riots and chaos have been spreading to many college campuses. Cal Poly Humboldt shut down its campus on Friday after pro-Hamas agitators took over the college president’s office.
Columbia University, with its Hamas agitators, has become so dangerous that in-person classes were canceled this past Monday. The campus has become very unsafe for Jewish students.
This is the current climate of college education. Chaos and calls for violence have replaced learning and critical thinking.
SHOCK VIDEO: Cal Poly Humboldt Shuts Down After Pro-Hamas Activists Occupied the President’s Office By Kristinn Taylor
Apr. 27, 2024 4:00 pm – Cal Poly Humboldt, located on the coast in Arcata, about 280 miles north of San Francisco, shut down its campus on Friday after pro-Hamas/Communist activists took over President Tom Jackson’s office and set up an ‘occupy zone.’ One of the buildings was renamed “Intifada Hall” by the terrorist supporters. The school will be closed through May 10 with classes held online. Humboldt, which is a Hispanic-Serving Institution (HSI), reports it has 5,858 undergraduate students with fulltime tuition and fees for the year costing $7,864.
The school has acknowledged outside actors are in involved, saying, in a statement Wednesday (scroll down to April 24 at link), “There are unidentified non-students with unknown intentions, in Siemens Hall. This creates an unpredictable environment. In addition, all entrances to the building are barricaded, creating a fire hazard. Adding to health and safety concerns, many toilets are no longer working.”
The San Francisco Chronicle reported Saturday about 100 tents are spread around the occupied campus, “UPDATE: About 100 tents covered the lawns adjoining Siemens Hall and extended across the Cal Poly Humboldt campus Saturday as Pro-Palestinian demonstrators protest in defiance of the university’s orders to leave Friday evening.”
Videos posted online show the takeover of the campus by pro-Hamas activists using Antifa tactics like using ‘riot shields’ to defend against police actions. Earlier in the week there were violent clashes with police on campus. (Police withdrew after battling the activists for several minutes.)
Video posted Friday of riot shields being put together at the ‘occupied’ zone’.
Locals Help Police Trash Tents and Anti-Israel Flags at Arizona State University (VIDEO) By David Greyson
Apr. 27, 2024 6:30 pm – Some college campuses that have reached their limit with Hamas agitators are taking action to remove tents and anti-Israel flags. Among the allies to the police at ASU was a group of local guys helping with the clean up.
As these guys were helping the police, you could hear the agitators complaining and harassing them.
“We’ve got the white frat boys throwing away protester’s belongings and we’ve got the pigs in brown doing nothing,” an anti-Israel agitator shouted.
Earlier in the day, the police at the ASU campus were tearing down tents that were involved with the unruly Hamas agitators. They were met with anti-Israel chants with some words difficult to understand since they were shouting.
TEMPE, AZ — Nearly 70 people were arrested early Saturday morning amid a pro-Palestinian protest at Arizona State University that started Friday over the Israel-Hamas conflict.
ASU confirmed the arrests Saturday morning, saying the group set up an unauthorized encampment in violation of university policy.
“Rogue cops get out of the way we know you’re Israel’s (incoherent word),” agitators shouted.
ASU also turned on the sprinklers in the field to try and deter the agitators. They responded by putting items or bags over them to prevent them from getting sprayed.
One student was hitting a plastic container with a stick while they were chanting. They made reference to liberation, but they were difficult to understand since they were shouting. A good portion of them were wearing masks either to avoid being seen or an obsession with Covid virtue signaling.
Indiana University changed its policy a day before a protest. Then 33 people were arrested. Brian Rosenzweig | The Herald-Times
April 27, 2024 – The day before Indiana University students planned to set up a pro-Palestine solidarity encampment on Dunn Meadow, a public field that’s long been a site of gathering and protest in Bloomington, IU officials quietly changed its on-campus events policy to require tents and other “structures” to receive prior approval from the university.
The next day, 33 protesters at the encampment were arrested, shoved with riot shields and handcuffed with zip ties by Indiana State Police troopers who told them their use of camping tents and canopies on Dunn Meadow was unlawful.
Protesters say they were unaware of the policy change and many believe they were targeted by IU.
“The fact that they did it late at night, the night before they knew that this pro-Palestine event was scheduled to take place tells us that this was not about security,” said David McDonald, chair of the IU Department of Folklore and Ethnomusicology and one of those arrested. “It was about stifling speech on this particular issue.”

The change was approved by an ad-hoc committee of four, consisting of the IU chief of police, the vice provost for student life, the associate vice president of events and conferences and the vice president for undergraduate education. No faculty or students were involved in the committee.
On Thursday, hundreds of protesters refused to take down their encampment after IU Police Department and Indiana State Police officers told them the event was a violation of school policy. IUPD distributed pamphlets saying tents needed prior registration, but protesters disputed the claim, citing the Bloomington campus’ policy on use of assembly grounds under an existing campus policy that’s been in place since 1969,
As faculty and students attempted to explain the campus policy to troopers, state police Capt. Rob Priest replied, “I’m not arguing,” and “I’m just following orders.”
“If you resist us and stay, you’re going to be arrested,” Priest said. Less than three hours later, state police officers, many wearing full military gear and wielding riot-control equipment including rifles and riot shields, advanced on protesters and cuffed and arrested 33 protesters, three of whom were faculty members.
Banned from all IU-owned properties
All 33, the majority of them students, received the same penalty: a one-year ban from all IU-owned properties.
For freshman Elena Thomas, that meant she couldn’t return to her dormitory after she was released from Monroe County Jail around 9 p.m. Thursday and had to stay the night at a friend’s off-campus house. For IU senior Cameron Pierce it means he can’t attend departmental graduation ceremonies or the commencement ceremony next week. For McDonald, it means he can’t do his job.

The IU decision to block and prevent this so-called ‘protest’, demonstrated that a few people still have their heads screwed on straight. Just look at what happened at the other universities so far! It’s enough to put them out of business! However, Indiana university, the City Hall of Bloomington Indiana, and the main newspaper in Bloomington (the Bloomington Herald Times) who published this article, are 99% to 100% radical leftists, and Bloomington is a mini-Berkley California. They provide well attended trans shows for the kids every week at the public library – for years now! Their Headstart schools teachers with purple hair teach the little boys to wear dresses and lipstick! The town is a sanctuary city for any and every kind of nut-job.
The ‘protesters’ built their political perspective on each and every (only) source of information available to them: their professors, their community, all of their news sources, and plenty of paycheck $$$ from Qatar and George Soros (now THERE is a ‘dirty Jew’!) These worldwide ‘protests’ are bought and paid for, and the participants are misinformed, communist, Jew hating, air-heads, as shown in this VIDEO. They don’t really know what why they are there protesting! What they think it is, is simply false.
Jesus’s last words were “Forgive them Father, for they know not what they do”. I really don’t think that ignorance quite gets them off so easy! Not when you go up against Israel.]
