The Boston Police Department arrested more than 100 pro-Palestinian protesters Wednesday evening at Emerson College‚ the Daily Caller News Foundation confirmed. Students have been protesting since Sunday and created an encampment in an alleyway partially owned by the college despite being warned that they were in violation of city ordinances‚ according to CBS News Boston. Police made a total of 108 arrests and broke up the encampment after warning protesters again to leave the area‚ a Boston police spokesperson told the Daily Caller News Foundation. “108 arrests‚ four injured officers—three minor‚ one more serious. All non-life threatening‚” the spokesperson said. “No protesters in custody have reported injuries at this time. Protesters will be arraigned in Boston Municipal Court.” The department did not elaborate on whether the protesters had been released or what they were being charged with. The school has not made a statement on the arrests‚ but classes were canceled Thursday‚ according to CBS News Boston. I'm near Emerson College in Boston right now where Boston Police are arresting dozens of pro-Palestinian protesters. Arrested protesters are chanting &;quot;we keep us safe&;#33;&;quot; from inside a paddy wagon‚ as those on sidelines chant along. pic.twitter.com/Cw0gzmh2mY— Nicholas Bogel-Burroughs (@NickAtNews) April 25‚ 2024 The administration urged protesters in a statement Wednesday to abide by city laws and clear out the encampment‚ according to an announcement to the school. “Most notably‚ the commissioners expressed that the tents occupying Boylston Place Alley violate city ordinances prohibiting tents in a public right of way‚” the announcement reads. “They also noted alleged violations involving blocking pedestrian access to the alley‚ public noise violations‚ and ongoing reports of fire hazards posed by blocking doors and hydrants. These are not Emerson College rules‚ but laws and ordinances enforced by the city and the commonwealth.” The college also noted that it had received reports that there had been “targeted harassment and intimidation of Jewish supporters of Israel and students‚ staff‚ faculty‚ and neighbors seeking to pass through the alley” from protesters and that this behavior was “unacceptable‚” according to the school’s announcement. Pro-Palestinian protests have been erupting across the country following the arrest of nearly 100 students at Columbia University who were protesting the school’s ties to Israel. Groups at Yale‚ the Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT)‚ and the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill‚ among others‚ have started encampments‚ calling for the universities to meet their demands to boycott‚ divest from‚ and sanction Israel over its war with Hamas. Hamas launched an attack on Israel on Oct. 7‚ killing more than 1‚200 people and taking more than 250 hostages‚ including Americans. Emerson did not immediately respond to the Daily Caller News Foundation’s request for comment.

Are you ready to make the most delicious baked artichokes ever&;#63; Bursting with bright and savory flavors of garlic‚ lemon and herbs‚ these oven-roasted artichokes are downright delectable on their own. But of course a side of mayo‚ melted butter‚ or aioli is always welcome too&;#33; Even better‚ this recipe is filing‚ healthy‚ and very simple to make. I grew up eating steam-boiled artichokes as a special treat with my dad‚ often saying they were my “favorite meal”. That is‚ until we started making oven-roasted artichokes instead&;#33; This easy baked artichoke recipe brings them to whole new level. The fact that we can make them with almost all homegrown ingredients is the icing on the cake. RELATED: Want to make it garden-to-table&;#63; Learn how to grow artichokes here‚ or check out our tips on growing garlic or culinary herbs&;#33; Artichokes can be grown as perennials in zones 7-11 and annuals in lower zones. All homegrown… minus the butter&;#33; INGREDIENTS Fresh artichokes. I recommend using at least two or three artichokes to nicely fill your baking dish‚ as they help to hold their neighbors upright. Garlic‚ 1-2 cloves per halved artichoke Fresh lemon‚ at least 2 – one for slicing and one for squeezing Butter and/or olive oil Salt and pepper Optional: fresh herbs such as thyme‚ sage or oregano. I love our roasted artichokes with lemon thyme from the garden‚ though we’ve made it without herbs many times too&;#33; We’ll be halving and removing the center choke portion. Image via Oceanmist.com INSTRUCTIONS Prepare and Clean Artichokes First we need to prep‚ halve‚ and clean the artichokes. If you’re not used to preparing artichokes‚ this is the most “difficult” part of the recipe – but really not difficult at all&;#33; Then it’s all easy going from there. Rinse the artichokes well‚ and then cut off most of the stem – leaving just about an inch. Also remove a few of the smallest lower leaves around the stem. Those won’t be good for eating anyway. You may also want to cut the top portion of the artichoke off (about the top inch) to remove the spiny tips of the leaves. Our homegrown artichokes are a spineless variety so we skip this step. Next‚ cut each artichoke in half. I find it easiest to do this with the artichoke placed upside down on a cutting board‚ starting at the stem end. Use a spoon or small knife to scoop out and remove the “choke” or fuzzy bits in the center of the artichoke‚ along with some of the smallest pokey leaves around it. The creates a nice little cavity to stuff the artichokes with garlic‚ butter‚ lemon and herbs. Be careful not to accidentally remove the heart&;#33; That’s the best part. Once cut‚ artichokes quickly oxidize and will start to turn brown. I like to rub lemon on the heart and cut portion of the leaves to reduce oxidation as I prep‚ but it’s purely cosmetic. Place artichokes in a baking dish; whatever size fits the amount and size of artichokes you’re roasting. Season and Stuff Artichokes Now it’s time to add some flavor&;#33; In the center cavity of each artichoke‚ add a clove or two of peeled garlic. Next‚ add an optional pinch of fresh herbs. I add a few sprigs of thyme‚ though you may want to rougchop larger herbs like sage or oregano. Squeeze fresh lemon juice all over each artichoke‚ in the heart area and over the leaves. Place a small pad of butter on top of the garlic and herbs. Sprinkle salt and pepper over all the artichokes‚ to taste. Add a slice of (washed) lemon to the center of each artichoke. Finally‚ add a light drizzle of olive oil over everything (optional). Bake Preheat the oven to 425°F. Add about a 1/2 cup of water into the bottom of the baking dish under the artichokes. This adds some much-needed steam to help fully cook the artichokes. Bake the artichokes with the pan covered for 45 to 50 minutes‚ and then uncover for the final 5 to 10 minutes to get that nicely browned roasted finish&;#33; Medium to large artichokes should take about 55 to 60 minutes to fully cook‚ while small ones may only need about 45 to 50 minutes. Baked artichokes are done and ready to eat once the leaves easily pull off and the stem is fork-tender. How to Eat Roasted Artichokes Last but certainly not least: dig in&;#33; Like I said before‚ thanks to the butter‚ garlic‚ and herbs‚ these roasted artichokes are divine to enjoy as-is right out of the oven&;#33; It’s also delicious to dip the leaves in mayonnaise‚ melted butter‚ garlic aioli‚ or another similar decadent sauce. I love to eat the whole cloves of roasted garlic from the centers too. To eat artichokes‚ use your teeth to scrape the tender flesh off the thick base of each leaf (the part that was attached the stem or body of the artichoke). The closer you get to the middle of the artichoke‚ the more tender the leaves will become. Once you get to the center‚ enjoy the exceptionally delicious “meaty” artichoke heart. The tender heart often extends into the stem too. Between the two of us‚ we often eat a two or three roasted artichokes (the whole pan) as our entire dinner. Yet baked artichokes are surprisingly good as leftovers too&;#33; I like to make an extra big batch so we can enjoy them cold as an easy lunch the next day. Store leftovers in the fridge and consume within 5 days. There you have it&;#33; I’m glad I finally took the time to write up this easy recipe‚ since so many of you request it when I share peeks over on Instagram. I can’t wait to hear how you like it‚ so please leave a review once you try it yourself&;#33; Also feel free to ask any questions in the comments below.

If you're tired of censorship and dystopian threats against civil liberties‚ subscribe to Reclaim The Net. The draconian sentence of a celebrated Iranian rapper‚ known for his staunch opposition to the regime‚ offers a stark portrait of Iran’s stifling repression of freedom of speech. Toomaj Salehi‚ 33‚ is set to face the gallows after he supported and posted pictures of himself amidst the crowds advocating for the cause of Mahsa Amini‚ an Iranian Kurd who was killed in police custody after being detained for improper wearing of a hijab. The news about the execution order was shared on Wednesday by Mr. Salehi’s legal counsel with the Iranian newspaper‚ Sharq. Salehi had previously raised his voice in support of a string of demonstrations‚ which rallied under the banner “Women‚ Life‚ Freedom.” His online posts led to his detention in October of 2022. The rapper‚ additionally‚ courted controversy by leveraging his art to share online messages critical of the Iranian regime. His songs‚ openly advocating for more liberties and women’s rights‚ struck a chord with many. Related: Iran plans Trudeau tactics to freeze bank accounts of women who refuse to wear hijab Amini’s life was cut short in September of 2022 after being apprehended on allegations of violating the country’s stringent hijab rules. Her death set off a sweeping tide of public unrest that not only resulted in thousands of arrests but also led to claims of torture and even fatalities at the hands of Iranian law enforcement. Iran notoriously shut off internet access in an attempt to curb the protests. In light of his musical activism and public statements supporting the demonstrations‚ Salehi had his first brush with the law in 2022. Paradoxically‚ he managed to evade capital punishment last year following his arrest ordeal. Instead‚ he was given a prison sentence of six years and three months for “corrupting planet Earth.” He escaped the fatal verdict due to a Supreme Court intervention that deemed flaws with his initial sentence leading to its relegation to a lower court for reassessment. “Branch One of the Revolutionary Court of Isfahan in an unprecedented move‚ did not enforce the Supreme Court’s ruling…and sentenced Salehi to the harshest punishment‚” his lawyer Amir Raisian told Sharq.

The Biden gaffes keep coming and the Big Three networks (ABC‚ CBS‚ NBC) keep ignoring them.  If Donald Trump or any Republican president was committing mistakes at the rate Biden is‚ you can bet network reporters and anchors would jam their broadcasts with their bloopers‚ but it’s not so for President Joe Biden.  In just the past week‚ he’s insulted Jews‚ middle-class Americans‚ and caused a minor international incident with his bumbling statements.  The following are seven brand new Biden blunders the networks have refused to cover:   Biden Reads Instructions Off Teleprompter: “Four More Years‚ Pause”          On April 24‚ FoxNews.com reported:  President Biden seemed to suffer a verbal slip-up during a speech at a trade union conference in Washington‚ D.C. on Wednesday. Biden‚ reading off a teleprompter‚ appeared to incorporate script instructions in the middle of his speech‚ resulting in an awkward applause line. The moment came during a section of his remarks straight out of a campaign stump speech. “I see an America where we defend democracy‚ not diminish it. I see an America‚ where we protect freedoms‚ not take them away‚” Biden said. “I see an economy that grows a lot in the bottom up where the wealthy pay their fair share‚ so we can have child care‚ paid leave and so much more‚ and still reduce the federal deficit and increase economic folks. “Imagine what we could do next. Four more years‚ pause‚” he said before laughing. ABC‚ CBS‚ NBC evening and morning show coverage: PENDING   Biden Claims Uncle Was Eaten By “Cannibals” in New Guinea‚ Sparks International Incident         On April 22‚ the New York Times reported:  Prime Minister James Marape of Papua New Guinea has hit back at President Biden’s suggestion that his uncle‚ a U.S. serviceman whose plane went down in the Pacific Ocean off the coast of New Guinea during World War II‚ had been eaten by cannibals there. “President Biden’s remarks may have been a slip of the tongue; however‚ my country does not deserve to be labeled as such‚” Mr. Marape said in a statement provided to news organizations including The Associated Press and Reuters. Twice last week‚ Mr. Biden suggested without evidence that his uncle had been eaten by cannibals. “He got shot down in New Guinea‚ and they never found the body because there used to be — there were a lot of cannibals‚ for real‚ in that part of New Guinea‚” Mr. Biden said of his uncle during an address on steel and aluminum tariffs in Pittsburgh on Wednesday. Papua New Guinea has become an important strategic partner of the United States in the region. Mr. Marape has twice visited the White House. His office did not immediately respond to a request for comment on Monday. Mr. Biden’s description of his uncle’s death does not match military records. Ambrose Finnegan‚ a brother of Mr. Biden’s mother‚ was a passenger in an aircraft that “for unknown reasons” had to ditch in the Pacific Ocean off the northern coast of New Guinea on May 14‚ 1944‚ according to the Pentagon’s Defense POW/MIA Accounting Agency. Both of the plane’s engines failed at low altitude. There is no indication the aircraft was shot down. Mr. Finnegan and two other men “failed to emerge from the sinking wreck and were lost in the crash‚” the Pentagon records state. “One crew member survived and was rescued by a passing barge. An aerial search the next day found no trace of the missing aircraft or the lost crew members.” Mr. Biden made a similar suggestion that his uncle had been cannibalized when he visited a war memorial bearing Mr. Finnegan’s name in his childhood hometown‚ Scranton‚ part of a three-day campaign swing through the key battleground state of Pennsylvania. ABC‚ CBS‚ NBC evening and morning show coverage: 0 seconds.   Biden Urges Americans to “Choose Freedom Over Democracy”      On April 19‚ FoxNews.com reported:  Critics of President Biden slammed him on social media for making a puzzling statement encouraging voters to “choose freedom over democracy” by re-electing him to the presidency. Conservatives expressed confusion over Biden’s message‚ and others insisted it was yet another gaffe showing his cognitive decline.  Biden made the claim while accepting the formal presidential endorsement of the Kennedy family in Pennsylvania on Thursday. During the political rally‚ half a dozen Kennedy family members appeared alongside President Biden to publicly back him over Robert F. Kennedy‚ Jr.‚ who is running as an independent candidate for president in 2024. Kennedy Jr.’s own sister Kerry Kennedy spoke at the event‚ stating‚ “President Biden has been a champion for all the rights and freedoms that my father and uncles stood for.” After being introduced by the Kennedys‚ Biden addressed the crowd. Toward the end of his speech‚ he asked‚ “Are you ready to choose unity over division&;#63; Dignity over demolition&;#63; Truth over lies&;#63; Are you ready to choose freedom over democracy&;#63; Because that's America.” The last stanza turned heads with its seemingly contradictory message.  Author and Canary CEO Dan K. Eberhart commented‚ “He’s fine. Everything’s fine. Biden is definitely not in severe mental decline. Pay no attention to the man behind the curtain.” ABC‚ CBS‚ NBC evening and morning show coverage: 0 seconds.   Biden Mixes Up Israeli City With One in Gaza: “Don’t Move on Haifa”        On April 18‚ the New York Post reported:  President Biden on Tuesday confused the Israeli port city of Haifa with the last refuge for civilians in the Gaza Strip — Rafah — in a stunning blunder.  The 81-year-old president made the gaffe when asked in a one-on-one interview with Nexstar Media’s Reshad Hudson about his plan to win back pro-Palestinian voters in the wake of Israel’s war against Hamas.  “I’ve been meeting with them‚ number one‚” Biden said. “Number two‚ I made it clear that we have to vastly increase the amount of food‚ water‚ healthcare going into Gaza.” “And I made it clear to Israelis – don’t move on Haifa‚” he added‚ apparently meaning to say Rafah. … Haifa‚ Israel’s third-largest city and a popular tourist destination‚ is more than 100 miles north of Rafah.  Numerous social media users mocked Biden over the gaffe.  “I think Israel should accommodate Biden’s demand not to attack Haifa‚” former US Ambassador to Israel David Friedman wrote on X. “Think there’s strong likelihood Israel refrains from hitting Haifa‚” former New York state Assemblyman Dov Hikind similarly tweeted‚ calling the error‚ “seriously embarrassing.” ABC‚ CBS‚ NBC evening and morning show coverage: 0 seconds.   Biden Falsely Claims He Never Earned $400‚000 In His Lifetime On April 19‚ CNN.com reported:  In Scranton‚ Biden repeated his regular promise that nobody making less than $400‚000 per year will pay even a cent more in taxes under his proposals. He then added‚ “I hope you’re all able to make $400‚000. I never did.” Facts First: Biden’s “I never did” claim is false. In fact‚ his presidential salary is $400‚000 per year; the joint tax filings of President Biden and first lady Jill Biden showed $619‚976 in income last year‚ $579‚514 in 2022 and $610‚702 in 2021. In addition‚ Biden earned millions in 2017 and 2018‚ when‚ during his time as a private citizen following his vice presidency‚ he and Jill Biden signed a lucrative book deal and he delivered paid speeches. The Bidens’ joint tax filings showed a total of about $11 million in 2017 income and about $4.6 million in 2018 income. Biden‚ who was a US senator for 36 years prior to his vice presidency‚ did regularly earn less than $400‚000 per year before 2017. As PolitiFact has previously noted‚ the Bidens’ joint filings reported less than $400‚000 in income in each year from 1998 through 2016 except for 2013‚ when they were just over $407‚000. ABC‚ CBS‚ NBC evening and morning show coverage: 0 seconds.   Biden Gets Basic Demographics Wrong On China  On April 19‚ CNN.com reported:  In a Wednesday speech in Pittsburgh that was focused on US steel competition with China‚ Biden said‚ “I always say to my colleagues — when I meet other world leaders‚ I say‚ ‘Would you trade places with China&;#63; Would you trade places with their problems&;#63;’ They’ve got a population that is more people in retirement than working.” Facts First: The claim that China has more retired people than working people is false. Fuxian Yi‚ a University of Wisconsin-Madison senior scientist who is an expert on Chinese demographics‚ called Biden’s claim “overstated and premature.” China reported having more than 740 million employed people at the end of 2023‚ while it also reported having just shy of 297 million people age 60 or above that year. (Sixty is the normal retirement-benefits age for Chinese men; it’s 50 to 55 for women depending on the nature of their jobs.) And some of the 60-plus population is still working.  Yi noted that China’s ratio of working people to seniors is shrinking as the country’s population ages. But Biden’s claim that the number of retirees already exceeds the number of people working is clearly not correct‚ even if you apply the usual dose of skepticism to official Chinese data. “It’s certainly the direction they’re heading‚ but still an exaggeration‚” Derek Scissors‚ a senior fellow at the conservative American Enterprise Institute think tank who is an expert on the Chinese economy‚ said of Biden’s claim. Biden made a similar claim in 2021‚ which CNN fact-checked as false at the time. ABC‚ CBS‚ NBC evening and morning show coverage: 0 seconds.   Biden Has His “Very Fine People On Both Sides” Moment      On April 22‚ FoxNews.com reported:   President Biden’s latest comment on antisemitic protests on college campuses is being called his “very fine people on both sides” moment by some on social media. Following the president’s Earth Day comments at Prince William Forest Park in Virginia‚ reporters caught up with Biden and asked for a comment on anti-Israel protests occurring across multiple universities at the time. “Do you condemn the antisemitic protests on college campuses&;#63;” Biden was asked. “I condemn the antisemitic protests. That’s why I have set up a program to deal with that. I also condemn those who don't understand what's going on with the Palestinians‚” he said. Equating the antisemitic protests with people who “don’t understand” the Palestinians ignited several comments accusing Biden of echoing Trump’s “very fine people on both sides” Charlottesville comment from 2017. “This sure sounds like he’s ACTUALLY saying there are very fine people on both sides‚” OutKick founder Clay Travis remarked. “Very fine people on both sides‚” RedState writer Bonchie agreed. American Spectator writer Nate Hochman noted‚ “I’m old enough to remember when ‘good people on both sides’ was evil and racist.” The Federalist editor-in-chief Mollie Hemingway wrote‚ “President Biden says there are good people on both sides of October 7.” ABC‚ CBS‚ NBC evening and morning show coverage: 0 seconds. (It should be noted that CBS and NBC both briefly reported Biden’s comments‚ but NEVER indicated they represented any kind of miscue. ABC failed to even mention Biden’s remarks.) The following are the relevant transcripts: CBS  Evening News  April 22‚ 2024 [13 seconds] CORRESPONDENT MEG OLIVER: Late this afternoon president Biden denounced anti-semitism. PRESIDENT JOE BIDEN: I condemn the anti-semitic protests‚ that’s why I have set up a program to deal with that. I also condemn those who don’t understand what’s going on and the Palestinians. … CBS CBS Mornings April 23‚ 2024 [12 seconds] CORRESPONDENT MEG OLIVER: President Biden yesterday condemned the anti-semitic comments directed towards Jewish students but added that he also condemned anyone who doesn’t realize what Palestinians are going through. Gayle&;#63;  CO-HOST GAYLE KING: Meg‚ thank you. … NBC Nightly News April 22‚ 2024  [17 seconds] ANCHOR LESTER HOLT: And Erin tonight‚ the White House is weighing in on all this.  CORRESPONDENT ERIN MCLAUGHLIN: That’s right‚ Lester. Tonight President Biden saying he condemns both anti-semitic protests and those who‚ quote‚ “don’t understand what’s going on with the Palestinians.” Lester&;#63; HOLT: Erin McLaughlin tonight. Thank you.

MSNBC’s Chris Hayes reacted to the latest developments at Columbia University and campuses around the country on Wednesday’s edition of All In by seeking to provide cover to the protestors by claiming they are simply “anti-war” and that all the anti-Semitism is from off-campus “trolls.” As for the GOP response‚ he dismissed Speaker Mike Johnson as “angry.” Coming out of a commercial‚ Hayes declared that “Fresh off the passage of those foreign aid bills that President Biden signed today‚ Republican House Speaker Mike Johnson didn't take a victory lap. Instead‚ the LSU graduate made an angry press appearance on the campus of Columbia University in New York‚ where he was booed by most of the crowd assembled.”     Was Johnson supposed to be happy&;#63; The fact that the crowd booed him says more about the crowd than it does about Johnson‚ but Hayes continued‚ “As you probably heard‚ the school has been the center of the media world for the last week over student protests of Israel's war in Gaza.” He added: Last week‚ the school's president‚ after appearing before a House committee‚ had many of those students arrested by the New York Police Department‚ thrown out of their university housing amid allegations of harassment against Jewish students on campus‚ or at least near the campus gates‚ where non-students and trolls have gathered to spout some truly genuinely vile‚ threatening stuff in viral scenes.  As Hayes was acknowledging the anti-Semitism present among the demonstrators‚ MSNBC showed pictures of some of these people. One was a group marching behind a banner that read “From Gaza to Jenin” and “Revolution to Victory” with a map of what they imagine a future Palestinian state should look like. It was a map that included not simply Gaza and the West Bank‚ but all of what is internationally unquestionably recognized to be Israeli territory. That is something that groups like Students for Justice in Palestine‚ who are students demonstrating on campus‚ would agree with‚ and they are given platforms on MSNBC. Yet‚ Hayes sought to dismiss concerns about this form of anti-Semitism‚ instead claiming they are simply anti-war and that the real problem is that Republicans want to put an end to these illegal encampments: Even as the anti-war protests spread to other universities across the country‚ and conservatives like Johnson blast higher education as a bastion of radicalism‚ again‚ Senators Tom Cotton and Josh Hawley have even called for the National Guard to come in. Today‚ Greg Abbott sent in the Department of Public Safety into the UT Austin campus. None of this new for any of these conservatives. Cotton‚ you’ll remember‚ wanted the Army to crush protests against police brutality in 2020. It was more that Cotton wanted to end the rioting and the looting‚ but why would Hayes let facts get in the way of a good narrative&;#63; Additionally‚ these demonstrators aren’t anti-war‚ they’re just upset that their side is losing a war that it started. Here is a transcript for the April 24 show: MSNBC All In With Chris Hayes 4/24/2024 8:45 PM ET CHRIS HAYES: Fresh off the passage of those foreign aid bills that President Biden signed today‚ Republican House Speaker Mike Johnson didn't take a victory lap. Instead‚ the LSU graduate made an angry press appearance on the campus of Columbia University in New York‚ where he was booed by most of the crowd assembled.  As you probably heard‚ the school has been the center of the media world for the last week over student protests of Israel's war in Gaza. Last week‚ the school's president‚ after appearing before a House committee‚ had many of those students arrested by the New York Police Department‚ thrown out of their university housing amid allegations of harassment against Jewish students on campus‚ or at least near the campus gates‚ where non-students and trolls have gathered to spout some truly genuinely vile‚ threatening stuff in viral scenes.  Even as the anti-war protests spread to other universities across the country‚ and conservatives like Johnson blast higher education as a bastion of radicalism‚ again‚ Senators Tom Cotton and Josh Hawley have even called for the National Guard to come in. Today‚ Greg Abbott sent in the Department of Public Safety into the UT Austin campus. None of this new for any of these conservatives. Cotton‚ you’ll remember‚ wanted the Army to crush protests against police brutality in 2020.
