Elise Stefanik Says Harvard Siding With Those Who Hate Jewish Students In Scathing Letter

Rep. Elise Stefanik (R-NY) slammed Harvard University in a letter on Thursday for failing to take action against anti-Semitism and siding with those who hate Jewish students.This institution has failed time and time again to take steps to properly address this scourge and hold perpetrators accountable‚ Stefanik‚ who is a Harvard alumna‚ wrote in a letter to its interim president. Your actions have continued to disgrace this institution and threaten the safety of the students you claim to serve.At a time when support and applications for Harvard have fallen‚ university leadership has continuously chosen to side with those who hate Jewish students and faculty and failed to keep them safe‚ Stefanik added.Stefaniks letter cited the schools failure to take immediate action after an October 18 die-in at Harvard Business School‚ during which student activists displayed a sign with the genocidal anti-Israel slogan from the river to the sea and assaulted a student filming.During this event‚ an Israeli Harvard Business School student recorded the act and was quickly surrounded by a mob of anti-Israel protestors who assaulted and harassed him‚ Stefanik wrote. These assailants blocked his path‚ repeatedly grabbed him‚ and shouted Shame! Shame! Shame! at him.Following the incident‚ the House Committee on Education and the Workforce of which Stefanik is a member obtained documents showing that the law firm Harvard hired to conduct an investigation shared video evidence of the incident with the victims lawyers in January.Despite the video evidence‚ one of the accused assailants is scheduled to graduate in May 2024‚ the same month of a now-postponed court date.CLICK HERE TO GET THE DAILYWIRE+ APPDue to this postponement‚ the assailant will gain the lifelong distinction of being an alumnus of Harvard despite having committed a well-documented antisemitic hate crime against a fellow student‚ Stefanik wrote. Justice for this incident should have been served quickly‚ and the delay of justice that specifically allows an antisemitic student to graduate is an affront to accountability and demonstrates the cultural rot of Harvard Universitys leadership that has allowed antisemitism to continue.In a statement provided after publication of this article‚ a Harvard spokesman said the student is not set to graduate in the spring‚ but declined to give a detailed explanation.Stefanik went on to reference her December interaction with former Harvard president Claudine Gay‚ who said it depends on the context if calling for the genocide of Jews constitutes harassment.In front of Congress‚ when disgraced former Harvard Presdient Claudine Gay failed to denounce antisemitism and calls for genocide‚ she also claimed disciplinary process are underway against perpetrators of antisemitism‚ Stefaniks letter states. This has proven to be false‚ with Harvard producing no evidence of punishment against those who have committed crimes and violated Harvards code of conduct.The congresswoman also cited an incident first reported by The Daily Wire concerning Harvard employee Gustavo Espada challenging a Jewish student who is suing the university over antisemitism to a debate about whether Israel is responsible for 9/11.I invite you to debate me today at the Cambridge Street overpass 12-1‚ dont miss it! the financial systems coordinator for the Department of East Asian Languages and Civilizations wrote. If you dont show up I will use a puppet or potted plant to represent you!After The Daily Wire asked Gustavo for comment‚ he posted a video to TikTok holding a toy machete claiming he is ready to fight. Im not going to go into details‚ but this is a good plan. So if you follow us‚ this is whats happening‚ he says in Spanish before photos of various high-profile Jews and a screenshot of a tweet by the Jewish student.This recent case of Harvard protecting those who hate Jews is disgusting‚ the New York congresswoman continued. As an alumna of Harvard University‚ allowing this student to gain the title of Harvard graduate disgraces all who have come before him and erodes the distinction of a once sought after degree.The Daily Wire has extensively covered rising anti-Semitic and anti-Israel incidents at Harvard‚ including a student push to pass divestment resolutions‚ a contractor ripping down hostage posters‚ and events with speakers who justified the October 7 massacre.This piece was updated with a statement from Harvard.

Iowa GOP Governor Signs Bill Allowing State Authorities To Arrest‚ Deport Illegal Immigrants

Iowa GOP Governor Signs Bill Allowing State Authorities To Arrest‚ Deport Illegal Immigrants

Republican Iowa Governor Kim Reynolds signed a bill into law on Wednesday that allows state authorities to arrest and deport immigrants in Iowa who have previously been deported or denied entry into the country.The measure was passed last month by Iowas GOP-controlled legislature‚ with multiple Democrats joining Republicans in sending the bill to Reynolds desk. The new law‚ which is set to go into effect on July 1‚ makes illegal reentry a state crime‚ and illegal immigrants who break the law could face up to two years in prison and deportation‚ Iowa Public Radio reported.The Biden Administration has failed to enforce our nations immigration laws‚ putting the protection and safety of Iowans at risk‚ Reynolds said. Those who come into our country illegally have broken the law‚ yet Biden refuses to deport them. This bill gives Iowa law enforcement the power to do what he is unwilling to do: enforce immigration laws already on the books.Under the new state law‚ an immigrant could be guilty of a Class C felony and face up to 10 years in prison for illegally entering the country if he/she was arrested for committing another felony. The law also requires Iowa judges to submit an order for a person convicted of illegally entering the U.S. to be returned to their home country.The new Iowa law is similar to a Texas immigration measure that is currently stuck in a legal battle with the Biden administration. The Texas law‚ which also allows state authorities to arrest and deport immigrants for illegally entering the U.S.‚ is currently blocked by a federal appeals court.After Texas passed the immigration law‚ the Biden administration‚ along with groups such as the ACLU sued. The Biden administration cited the Supremacy Clause of the Constitution‚ arguing that the Texas law interferes with federal immigration law.Similarly‚ critics of Iowas new immigration law say it interferes with the federal government and causes confusion among immigrants.This law ignores the fact of federal preemption‚ and its purely a political stunt in an election year thats meant to drive fear and just perpetuate hateful campaign rhetoric‚ said Erica Johnson‚ executive director of the Iowa Migrant Movement for Justice‚ according to Iowa Public Radio.CLICK HERE TO GET THE DAILYWIRE+ APPMark Stringer‚ the executive director of the Iowa ACLU called the immigration measure one of the most extreme‚ discriminatory‚ and unconstitutional anti-immigrant bills in the country.Proponents of state laws cracking down on illegal immigration argue that the federal government under President Joe Biden has failed in its duty to secure the southern border and protect American citizens‚ adding that states have a constitutional right and duty to protect themselves from what many view as an invasion of the U.S southern border.Since Biden took office‚ Customs and Border Protection has reported around eight million migrant encounters at the U.S. southwest border and nearly two million gotaways. Hundreds of thousands of illegal immigrants have also been flown and bused across the country after crossing the southern border.

California Police Arrest 4‚ Recover $300‚000 In Stolen Legos After Busting Retail Theft Ring

The California Highway Patrol recovered around $300‚000 in stolen Lego merchandise this week after busting a retail theft ring.CHP officials served search warrants on Tuesday and arrested four people involved in the ring‚ who would steal Legos from Target and other retailers in Southern California and sell them to fences people or groups that buy stolen products and resell them‚ NBC Los Angeles reported. Often these fences sell the stolen merchandise to legitimate businesses or online and at swap meets. Fences may not even know the products they purchased are stolen‚ the outlet noted.Jeremy Johnson‚ 44‚ of Orange‚ California; Marta Hardt‚ 39‚ of Huntington Beach; Chung-Pei Yu‚ 47‚ of Studio City; and Shen Li‚ 35‚ of Brea‚ were arrested as part of the bust‚ ABC 7 reported. The four were booked on charges of theft and conspiracy.CHP officers made the bust as part of a retail crime task force that has been working to reduce the increasing number of retail thefts in California.Retailers who were the victims of this ring estimate their total losses somewhere around $300‚000.Photos of the bust show numerous Lego sets‚ ABC News reported.Many Star Wars Lego sets‚ such as the Millennium Falcon‚ can retail for around $900‚ NBC reported‚ adding that photos it received of the bust showed dozens of that particular set and other rare Lego products.Late last year‚ a top Home Depot executive testified before a congressional panel about the increasing threat of shoplifting. Scott Glenn‚ head of loss prevention at Home Depot‚ said the company had seen a significant uptick in situations where employees come into violent contact with bad actors.In April 2023‚ a woman fatally shot a Home Depot security guard while stealing a phone charger. She fled the scene in a vehicle driven by her boyfriend while her two-year-old child was in the backseat. In 2022‚ an elderly Home Depot worker was killed after a shoplifter shoved him to the ground.CLICK HERE TO GET THE DAILYWIRE+ APPCalifornia‚ in particular‚ is struggling with retail theft‚ with some stores taking extreme measures to combat the crimes. Supermarket chain Safeway‚ for example‚ has installed exit gates at the self-checkout lanes in some of its San Francisco stores‚ while one Walgreens went so far as to put chains across its freezers.California has become known for smash-and-grabs‚ where thieves enter a store‚ smash display cases to steal items‚ and leave quickly. At one Pasadena jewelry store‚ thieves made off with nearly $500‚000 in merchandise in one incident.Many attribute the increase in retail theft in California to a statewide ballot measure approved by voters almost ten years ago that reduced thefts of property valued under $950 from felonies to misdemeanors.

Kamala Harris Announces New Rule: All Gun Dealers Must Conduct Background Checks

Kamala Harris Announces New Rule: All Gun Dealers Must Conduct Background Checks

On Thursday‚ Vice President Kamala Harris announced that all gun dealers now must conduct background checks no matter where or how they sell their merchandise.The rule was expected to be submitted to the Federal Register by the Bureau of Alcohol‚ Tobacco and Firearms on Thursday. It will be implemented in 30 days‚ Politico reported.Its a false choice to suggest that youre either in favor of the Second Amendment or you want to take everyones guns away‚ Harris insisted. Im in favor of the Second Amendment‚ and I am in favor of reasonable gun safety laws for example‚ background checks.Currently‚ gun stores are required by law to conduct a background check for every gun sale. But‚ for decades‚ many dealers who sell weapons someplace other than the traditional gun store say‚ for example‚ a gun show or a flea market or even through social media have gotten away without conducting background checks. This is the so-called gun show loophole‚ she stated.Harris then added more items to her gun control checklist: President Joe Biden and I will continue to call on the United States Congress to have the courage to pass universal background checks‚ red-flag laws‚ and an assault weapons ban.The idea of implementing red-flag laws which permit confiscation of forearms if the owner is deemed a threat to themselves or others on a federal level has been criticized for giving the government too much power.The Rand Institute stated in January 2023‚ Evidence for the effect of assault weapon bans on mass shootings is inconclusive. Evidence that high-capacity magazine bans may decrease mass shootings is limited.The new rule‚ the most sweeping expansion of firearms background checks in decades‚ will apply to more than 20‚000 individuals engaged in unlicensed gun dealing and affect tens and tens of thousands of gun sales each year‚ an administration official told reporters during a call previewing the announcement‚ Politico reported.CLICK HERE TO GET THE DAILYWIRE+ APPTodays Final Rule is about ensuring compliance with an important area of the existing law where we all know‚ the data show‚ and we can clearly see that a whole group of folks are openly flouting that law. That leads to not just unfair but‚ in this case‚ dangerous consequences‚ ATF director Steven Dettelbach stated.The rule was made possible because of the 2022 Bipartisan Safer Communities Act‚ which was passed after the shooting in Uvalde‚ Texas. The Act broadened the definition of licensed gun dealers and established enhanced background checks for buyers under the age of 21.

Arizona Republicans Shut Down Bid To Quickly Repeal Abortion Law

Republican lawmakers in Arizona blocked an effort on Wednesday to quickly repeal a 160-year-old law prohibiting nearly all abortions after the states high court upheld it this week.A motion by state Rep. Matt Gress‚ a Phoenix-area Republican‚ to begin the repeal process got waylaid by a GOP motion to recess‚ according to local NBC affiliate KPNX. Thats when some Democrats‚ the minority in the chamber‚ began shouting‚ Shame on you.JUST INDemocrats in the Arizona state house have hijacked the legislative session shouting ";SHAME"; and ";BLOOD ON YOUR HANDS"; at Republicans following yesterday';s Arizona Supreme Court';s ruling on abortion. pic.twitter.com/0ztaRFhkOd Charlie Kirk (@charliekirk11) April 10‚ 2024Democrat State Rep. Stephanie Stahl Hamilton‚ who is the top sponsor of a one-line bill that would repeal the abortion law‚ brought the motion to the floor again in the afternoon‚ but the House adjourned until next Wednesday on a roll call vote.The Associated Press reported Gress is one of three GOP legislators who openly oppose the ban. He said the near-total ban is not reflective of the values of the vast majority of our electorate‚ regardless of political affiliation. This issue transcends all.Gress got some flak from his GOP colleagues for trying to bring the motion to the floor. State Rep. Alexander Kolodin‚ a Republican‚ accused Gress of putting his Republican comrades in swing districts in the line of fire.In Arizonas GOP-led Senate‚ Democrats claimed they stood to try and start a repeal of the abortion law right. KPNX reported this was right before the chamber was going to adjourn‚ and President Pro Tempore T.J. Shope‚ a Republican‚ gaveled out until next Wednesday.A Senate GOP spokesperson told the news outlet that the Democrats were not recognized because the motion before the body was the motion to adjourn. A substitution motion would have been procedurally improper.Arizona Governor Katie Hobbs‚ a Democrat‚ said the extremist Republican majority had the chance to do the right thing for their constituents‚ and they failed. She also insisted the fight is far from over.The states Supreme Court upheld on Tuesday an 1864 law that outlaws all abortions in the state‚ except when the mothers life is at risk‚ and makes those performing an illegal abortion liable to face two to five years in prison.While pro-life advocates cheered the ruling‚ several high-profile Republicans opposed it. Former President Donald Trump said it goes too far. Arizona GOP Senate candidate Kari Lake and Rep. David Schweikert (R-AZ) also said they oppose Tuesdays ruling.CLICK HERE TO GET THE DAILYWIRE+ APPArizona Senate President Warren Petersen and House Speaker Ben Toma‚ both Republicans‚ released a statement after the ruling explaining that the law did not immediately go into effect and that they would use the interim to have lawmakers deliberate on the issue.The Supreme Court decision was based solely on the text of the law it was not a policy statement‚ they said. Its important to note‚ there is at least a 60-day waiting period before any change in the existing law occurs. During this time‚ we will be closely reviewing the courts ruling‚ talking to our members‚ and listening to our constituents to determine the best course of action for the legislature.

Suspect Arrested Over Bombing Outside Republican AGs Office Backed Far Left Causes: Investigators

Suspect Arrested Over Bombing Outside Republican AGs Office Backed Far Left Causes: Investigators

A man who was arrested over the detonation of an explosive device in February outside the office of Alabama Republican Attorney General Steve Marshall advocated for leftist political causes‚ according to the Department of Justice.A 36-year-old man‚ who investigators sayindicated support for abolishing Immigration and Customs Enforcement and anti-police sentiment‚ was accused on Wednesday of placing the explosive device outside of Marshalls office early on the morning of February 24.The explosion took place at the intersection of Washington Avenue and South Bainbridge Street in Montgomery and followed reports of a suspicious package being at the scene. There were no injuries from the explosion.The suspect‚ who is reportedly from Irondale‚ was charged by the DOJ with malicious use of an explosive and possession of an unregistered explosive device. According to court documents‚ the same person who placed the explosive device outside of Marshalls office additionally had placed a variety of suspicious stickers on government buildings near the attorneys general office.Surveillance footage showed the suspect‚ wearing a hat‚ mask‚ and goggles‚ placing stickers on the Alabama state capitol building before walking toward Marshalls office in the early morning hours of February 24.The stickers placed on State buildings depicted different graphics‚ advocating for various political ideologies. Some included the phrase Support your local antifa‚ a memo from the DOJ arguing for detainment of the suspect says. The memo contains a picture of nails that were included in the explosive device which was made with a gasoline or lighter fluid substance‚ a mortar‚ firecrackers and nails. The action of placing and initiating the IED on the walkway beside a government building demonstrates that this device was used as a weapon against property and/or to cause injury/death‚ the memo says.Nails used in the bomb (court memo)Stickers placed on the government buildings included the following far-Left messages in all caps: Anti-fascism is community self-defense‚ abolish private property‚ topple all hierarchies‚ feminist action‚ eat the rich‚ death to fascism‚ support your local antifa‚ arm the homeless‚ my body my choice‚ F*** work lets riot‚ friends dont let friends become cops‚ and abolish ICE.Many of the stickers incorporated symbols of anarchy and guns into the messages and words‚ according to the court memo. Another video reviewed by investigators showed the suspect discussing his violent impulses‚ while another showed him saying how the f*** are we not killing the government right now?CLICK HERE TO GET THE DAILYWIRE+ APPDuring the investigation‚ authorities used surveillance footage and social media videos to trace the car seen leaving the scene of the bombing as well as the clothes that were worn and stickers that were used. The suspect could face 20 years in prison if convicted.My staff and I are breathing a collective sigh of relief this morning knowing that this individual has been taken off the streets‚ Marshall said in a statement after the charges were announced. Although more information will be provided in the weeks to come‚ I think it is safe to say that this was not a random act of violence.

Wray Calls For Restoration Of Section 702 of FISA: Potential For A Coordinated Attack In U.S.

Wray Calls For Restoration Of Section 702 of FISA: Potential For A Coordinated Attack In U.S.

FBI Director Christopher Wray called for the restoration of Section 702 of the Foreign Intelligence Surveillance Act‚ which permits the federal government to gather communications from non-Americans overseas on U.S.-based platforms‚ but which has also been abused in the past to monitor American citizens.The much-scrutinized law is up for renewal but failed to pass a key hurdle Wednesday amid internal debate among Republicans about adding adequate protections against future abuse of the law.Wray‚ speaking to Congress‚ cited his immediate concern being individuals or small groups [who] will draw twisted inspiration from the events in the Middle East to carry out attacks here at home.But now increasingly concerning is the potential for a coordinated attack here in the homeland‚ akin to the ISIS-K attack we saw at the Russia Concert Hall a couple weeks ago‚ Wray added.The Office of the Director of National Intelligence has pointed out how FISA has been used successfully to combat dangers to the U.S.:Section 702-acquired information revealed: Insights that have informed the U.S. Governments understanding of the Chinese origins of a chemical used to synthesize fentanyl; foreign actors illicit plans to smuggle methamphetamine across the U.S. border; the quantities and potency of drugs‚ including fentanyl‚ destined for illegal transfer to the United States‚ as well as specific smuggling techniques used to avoid detection; and a foreign narcotics traffickers purchase of a vast quantity of pills for transfer to the United States. Section 702-acquired information has been used to identify multiple foreign ransomware attacks on U.S. critical infrastructure. This intelligence positioned the U.S. Government to respond to and mitigate these events‚ and in some instances prevent significant attacks on U.S. networks.Section 702-acquired information related to sanctioned foreign adversaries was used in U.S. Government efforts to stop weapons of mass destruction components from reaching foreign actors. Section 702 has identified threats to U.S. troops and disrupted planned terrorist attacks at home and abroad‚ and contributed to the successful operation against Ayman al-Zawahiri in 2022.Though information gained from Section 702 has played a key role in national security efforts‚ it has also come under heavy fire from those concerned about its potential use to gather information on American citizens. The most notorious incident involved then-candidate Donald Trump in 2016 when intelligence gained from Section 702 was used to spy on Trump campaign aide Carter Page.Trump encouraged House Republicans this week to oppose reinstating FISA. KILL FISA‚ IT WAS ILLEGALLY USED AGAINST ME AND MANY OTHERS. THEY SPIED ON MY CAMPAIGN!!! he wrote on Truth Social on Wednesday afternoon.Nineteen House Republicans blocked the procedural measure to bring the matter to a vote on Wednesday. Critics of the bill said the revisions spearheaded by Republicans were not enough to ensure that the law isnt abused going forward.House Speaker Mike Johnson said after the vote Wednesday‚ We will regroup and reformulate another plan. We cannot allow Section 702 of FISA to expire. Its too important to national security.We have to strike the balance government always does. You have to jealously guard the fundamental liberty of American people‚ Johnson added. You protect the liberty‚ but at the same time‚ you got to protect your security. And we cant allow a critical tool like this to just expire and go out of use.9/11 Families United‚ an organization representing the families of 9/11 victims‚ stated‚ It is our belief that the failure to renew Section 702 would be detrimental to American national security and would put Americans at risk of new terrorist attacks.

Fed Economist On Hidden Camera: Central Bank Worked To Counter Trump

An economist at the Federal Reserve reportedly said that the U.S. Central Bank worked against former President Donald Trump and is prepared to do so again.Aurel Hizmo‚ a principal economist at the Federal Reserve‚ was reportedly caught on a hidden camera sting by a self-proclaimed guerilla journalist from James OKeefes OKeefe Media Group (OMG). An OMG swiper interviewed Hizmo across several pseudo-dates that the swiper went on with the Fed economist.Over the course of the dates‚ Hizmo said he believes Trump is a crazy person that the Fed needs to keep in check when he messes up. Hizmo also suggested that Fed chairman Jerome Powell hates the former president and wants to be remembered as someone who held the line against Trump.Trump is just a crazy person‚ Hizmo told his date. Its very clear. I mean‚ hes a dumb guy.Trump and Powell hated each other‚ according to Hizmo. On the other hand‚ Powell has a good relationship with President Joe Biden and his administration‚ he said.Hizmo stated that Powell is motivated by a desire to preserve his legacy as a savior.[Powell] is doing it for the legacy. He wants to be remembered in history as somebody who held the line against‚ like‚ Trump and helped the economy out of COVID‚ Hizmo said on hidden camera. Theres all kinds of stuff that comes to his desk that he says‚ No‚ because this is going to jeopardize the legacy of the Fed or my legacy as chair.Trump nominated Powell to lead the Federal Reserve in 2017. Hizmo suggested that Powell used his authority as the chairman of the U.S. Central Bank to curb Trumps deregulatory agenda. Hizmo suggested to his date that Powell and the Federal Reserve are willing to act again should Trump win the White House in 2024.So the feeling is this: we dont want Trump to be in the government‚ but if he comes‚ were still going to try to the best we can for the country‚ Hizmo said to his date. Now‚ if he messes up‚ if he does something stupid‚ then we have to fix it.CLICK HERE TO GET THE DAILYWIRE+ APPHizmo explained: So‚ he‚ like‚ removed a lot of regulations and stripped that‚ and made that entity really weak so now the Fed has to be like oh we have to kind of‚ like‚ do something more to regulate The Fed economist went on to say that Powell generally has a good relationship with Democrats because Powell is responsive.Like under Powell‚ the Fed has changed to think about equity issues‚ like racial issues‚ think about wealth inequality as part of the mandate‚ as part of the things we are following‚ think about climate change‚ Hizmo said in the OMG undercover video.BREAKING‚ INSIDE THE FEDERAL RESERVE: Hidden Camera captures Principal Economist @federalreserve talking about Jerome Powells legacy as somebody who held the line against like‚ Trump. The influential agency responsible for maintaining a stable monetary system appears to not pic.twitter.com/5CqZX2LhwT James O';Keefe (@JamesOKeefeIII) April 10‚ 2024
