Columbia Finally Announces Disciplinary
Action Against Pro-Hamas Agitators
Posted By: Northcross, 3/13/2025 9:34:39 PM
Columbia University and its sister school of Barnard College have been in the news quite a bit lately. The Trump administration is looking to deport Mahmoud Khalil, a Syrian-born pro-Hamas agitator, who was involved in various activities at Columbia and Barnard. Khalil led encampments at Columbia and participated in takeovers at Barnard, with his involvement at the latter school coming after he had already graduated. The Trump administration also announced last Friday that they were canceling $400 million in grants for Columbia. Now, the university is announcing some pretty strong disciplinarian actions against the agitators.

Ahead of Inauguration Day, Time Magazine published a mental health guide for liberals struggling to cope with the reality of President Donald Trump retaking the White House. A group cry session and "forest bathing" were among the recommended coping techniques. The tutorial—titled "11 Things to Do on Inauguration Day That Are Great for Your Mental Health"—extensively lists ways sensitive snowflakes can manage their feelings of impending doom. For those "dreading" four more years of Trump, Time Magazine consulted a handful of so-called mental health experts to advise libs on how to deal with their "distress."
This week, the GOP-led U.S. House Judiciary's Subcommittee on the Constitution and Limited Government held a hearing on "Revisiting the Implications of the FACE Act," a Clinton-era law that prohibits anyone from physically obstructing access to "reproductive health services." Subcommittee members convened Wednesday to further examine the Freedom of Access to Clinic Entrances (FACE) Act's unequal, politicized application against pro-life activists.
One such defendant, pro-life leader Paul Vaughn, the president of Personhood Tennessee, appeared before the congressional subcommittee to testify about his harrowing experience being prosecuted by the Biden-Harris administration's U.S. Department of Justice (DOJ).
A study conducted by parental rights organization Parents Defending Education (PDE) found that President Joe Biden’s Department of Education spent at least $1 billion on Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion (DEI) initiatives since 2021. Researchers found that $490 million was spent on DEI hiring efforts, $343 million on DEI programming and $170 million on DEI-related mental health resources.
Key takeaways from the study include the fact that multiple Education Department grants “feature programming that advances race-based teacher recruiting, hiring, and training, including the use of race-based affinity groups.”
Remember how Senate Democrats buried Mayorkas' impeachment? It gets worse.
The Biden-Harris administration spent over $1.6 million in taxpayer money on the defense of U.S. Homeland Security Secretary Alejandro Mayorkas during his impeachment proceedings, according to internal documents obtained by The Heritage Foundation's Oversight Project. Although the taxpayer spending was previously reported on, the watchdog organization's Freedom of Information Act (FOIA) findings confirm that the American people actually paid that much for a fleet of high-flying lawyers to defend Mayorkas.
Argentina's fiscal deficit has been a persistent challenge for its economy, driven by structural inefficiencies, spending, and limited revenue generation. As a result, the government must borrow or print money to finance the gap, fueling sky-high inflation and undermining its economic stability. However, for the first time in 123 years, President Javier Milei ended the country’s deficit in just one year of his presidency. When Milei took office on December 10, 2023, he promised to take a “chainsaw” to the nation’s economy— and that he did.
“The deficit was the root of all our evils—without it, there’s no debt, no emission, no inflation,” Milei said.
If you thought you heard the worst concerning the U.S. southern border under the Biden-Harris Administration, think again. A new bombshell House Judiciary report found that illegal immigrants facing wanted for sex trafficking and various other violent crimes found a loophole to enter the United States. Due to the Biden-Harris Administration’s categorical parole program for nationals of Cuba, Haiti, Nicaragua, and Venezuela (CHNV), at least 30,000 illegal immigrants monthly with violent records have been allowed to bypass coming into the U.S. through the southern border, and instead fly into domestic airports. This results from what the administration calls “legal pathways,” created without Congressional authorization.
President Joe Biden, a “devout” Catholic, awarded the highest civilian honor a person can receive to a woman who has the blood of more than four million unborn babies on her hands. The former president of Planned Parenthood, Cecile Richards, was given the presidential medal of freedom for her “absolute courage” and “fearless[ness],” who Biden says has “carved an inspiring legacy.” Richards, the daughter of late Democrat Texas governor Ann Richards, spent 12 years working as Planned Parenthood’s chief.
For the next four years, prepare to hear the same old thing over and over again from irrational libs who claim President-elect Donald Trump wants to destroy democracy. This week, Washington Post columnist Jennifer Rubin claimed that “Republicans want to kill your kids” and that those who consent to Trump’s cabinet picks must pay a "political price." “The people who irresponsibly put dangerous, treasonous, unfit people in positions of authority are responsible not only for those people but for all the horrors that will unfold," Rubin said during an episode of her "Jen Rubin's Green Room” podcast.
The 2028 presidential election is still a long way off, though there's still been plenty of chatter about which name leads the pack to follow Donald Trump as the next Republican nominee. That's true for the Democrats as well now, after Vice President Kamala Harris lost to Trump, and Democrats also lost control of the Senate and failed to recapture control of the House. On Monday night, an Echelon Insights poll went out showing that amongst 14 candidates, as well as a "Someone else" response and "Unsure," Harris still has a healthy lead, with 41 percent saying they'd vote for her if the 2028 primary were held today.
They tried to steal it. They failed. It was a weird dynamic where this event in Pennsylvania’s Senate race was shocking but also not too surprising given liberal America’s penchant for engaging in election shenanigans when results don’t go their way. Republican Dave McCormick defeated incumbent Sen. Bob Casey (D-PA), but he refused to concede. Even with no path given how much vote is left and how provisional ballots land, with most being rejected due to not meeting the benchmark requirements for authenticity, McCormick’s lead was viewed by both Republicans and Democrats as insurmountable. Most of the outstanding ballots were in red counties, like Cambria.
On Wednesday, Republican senators selected Senate Minority Whip John Thune (R-SD) as their new leader for the 119th Congress. Republicans have not picked a new leader in 18 years, but Senate Minority Leader Mitch McConnell (R-KY) revealed earlier this year that he was stepping aside from the role after noticeably experiencing health issues. The process kicked off at 9:30am, but the first round of voting didn't take place until around 11:30am. Thune beat out Sen. Rick Scott (R-FL), who also challenged McConnell in 2022, and Sen. John Cornyn (R-TX), who previously held Thune's role.

Several House Democrats have privately called on Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez (D., N.Y.) to launch a primary challenge against Senate Democratic leader Chuck Schumer after he backed a Republican-led funding bill to avert a government shutdown.
Even centrist Democrats are outraged by Schumer’s decision, with some "so mad" that they are "ready to write checks for AOC for Senate," according to a Democratic lawmaker who spoke with Ocasio-Cortez at House Democrats’ annual policy retreat Thursday evening, CNN reported.

So They Don’t Fight Back 24 replies
Rep. Maxine Waters (D-CA) insists President Trump is trying to start a civil war in this country and indicated it would take incredible restraint from the left not to fight back.
Waters, speaking at a Democrat retreat in Northern Virginia, made repeated assertions that Trump is gearing up for war.
She kicked off the unhinged commentary by telling reporters the administration's efforts to reign in fraud, waste, and abuse in the federal government would leave seniors suffering and "homeless people ... on the street."
“And so when that happens, what does Trump expect?"

Democratic Party rising star Rep. Jasmine Crockett, D-Texas, argued that Americans need illegal immigrants because they do the work that the college-educated in this country won't do.
Crockett reportedly made the comments while speaking at the South by Southwest (SXSW) festival on March 8.
In a video clip that went viral on Friday, Crockett made the point that Americans don't send their kids to college in the hope that they'll end up picking crops and cleaning hotel rooms, but that's what illegal immigrants do.
"How many of you are sending your kids t
to college?" Crockett asked the crowd.
A key aide to former President Joe Biden may have exceeded their authority by liberally using an autopen to sign official documents, according to two former White House sources, as President Trump’s aides have set up “far more restrictive” rules governing the use of the mechanical device.
A document obtained by The Post outlines the narrow set of circumstances in which Trump’s signature can be affixed to documents, following controversy this week kicked off by a Heritage Foundation analysis of Biden signatures on various records, including last-minute pardons.
A small group of officials under both Biden and Trump have been delegated the power to get documents “signed” robotically,
Republican Florida Sens. Rick Scott and Ashley Mood introduced a bill on Friday proposing the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) headquarters, currently in Washington, be moved to Florida.
Titled Consolidating Aerospace Programs Efficiently at Canaveral (CAPE Canaveral) Act, the legislation would relocate the NASA headquarters to Florida’s Space Coast in Brevard County. The region houses the Kennedy Space Center and Cape Canaveral Space Force Station.
Scott’s office called Florida “a common sense choice” for the new headquarters.
“There’s no better place for NASA’s headquarters than Florida’s Space Coast, where our nation’s brightest minds innovate and help America reach for the stars,” Scott said in a statement.
The Internal Revenue Service ordered most of its approximately 20,000 customer service employees back to the office this week, ending a long era of hybrid and remote work. There was just one problem: The IRS didn’t have enough desks to seat them all. And so, many customer service workers learned Sunday that they would not have to return to the office on Monday, after all. The Return to Office (RTO) mandate has been postponed until further notice, union leaders said Wednesday. In the end, the IRS and its employee union evidently agreed that the back-to-office order might lead to long
Relatives of Supreme Court Justice Amy Coney Barrett residing in multiple households received pizza deliveries from an unknown person over the past weekend.
David Williams, Barrett's brother-in-law, told the Charleston Police Department that some households related to Barrett received the unusual delivery, according to an incident report obtained by Newsweek. Amanda Coney Williams, Barrett's sister and David's wife, was also the subject of a bomb threat sent to an employee of the Charleston County Sheriff's Office on Saturday.
Schumer Blinks (AOC Upset)

I think we all knew this was coming. As Ed pointed out a few hours ago, Schumer had already signaled he was caving by lunchtime today. So this afternoon he made it official in another speech.
"Republican rejection leads us to a decision, and it's not really a decision it's a Hobson's choice," Schumer said. He continued, "Either proceed with the bill before us or risk Donald Trump throwing America into the chaos of a shutdown. This is my view is no choice at all.
"While the CR bill is very bad, the potential for a shutdown has consequences for America that are much, much worse."
US President Donald Trump has threatened a 200% tariff on any alcohol coming to the US from the European Union (EU) in the latest twist of an escalating trade war. The threat is a response to the EU's plans for a 50% tax on imports of US-produced whiskey as part of its retaliation to Trump's tariffs on all steel and aluminium imports to the US. The US president called for the immediate removal of the EU's "nasty" tariff on US whiskey, calling the bloc "hostile and abusive" and "formed for the sole purpose of taking advantage of the United States".
Domestic Terrorists Add Swatting Conservatives

on X — And Murder?— to Their Terror Tactics 13 replies
At least five well-known conservatives with large followings on Elon Musk's X social media platform were "swatted" overnight. These attempts by unknowns to get conservatives killed in a hail of law enforcement gunfire appear to be part of an organized effort to affect politics by acts of violence. That is the textbook definition of terrorism, and it appears to be organized.
That's dark enough, but things could be worse than that.
Add to the swattings the attempted take over of Trump Tower, and in February, an aborted take over the Trump Hotel in Las Vegas, the organized Tesla dealership attacks, and the strange and frightening attacks

It's rather amazing that anyone thought the Bud Light/Dylan Mulvaney promotional deal was anything but inauthentic - not to mention bone-headed and stupid - but now a former Bud Light executive has spoken up, with some insider's insight into just how hare-brained this whole thing was.
“The problem with the Bud Light-Dylan Mulvaney partnership was they just were not an authentic partnership at all,” Anson Frericks told Fox News Digital. “They were catering to a lot of those special interests.”
Frericks began his career at Anheuser-Busch in 2011 and was with the company for over a decade. He told Fox News Digital he realized
Democrats are so soft. They're been throwing fits for the past ten years over President Donald Trump, and they've ramped up the mania since he got back into office.
But it looks like some of them just can't take it anymore.
MSNBC made Rachel Maddow commit to being on five days a week for the first 100 days of Trump's term, when she had perviously had only been doing once a week. But host Lawrence O'Donnell said to her that he hadn't made the same commitment, and he was "exhausted" already.
"I know you've pledged to cover and be here for the first hundred days of the Trump presidency," he said.

The Columbia University Judicial Board finally decided that perhaps the sweet innocent protesters might have gone a little too far. I wonder what convinced them.
