President Joe Biden‚ after finally delivering brief remarks on Thursday addressing the anti-Israel protests running rampant across college campuses‚ told reporters that those protests would have no impact on his administration’s Israel policy. While Biden did not specifically grant a question-and-answer session following his comments‚ he did answer two questions that were shouted at him as he prepared to leave the room. WATCH: Reporter: &;quot;Have protests influenced policy reconsideration in the region&;#63;&;quot;Biden: &;quot;No.&;quot;Second Reporter: &;quot;Should the National Guard intervene&;#63;&;quot;Biden: &;quot;No.&;quot;#breaking #JoeBiden #universityprotests pic.twitter.com/50LtuDO3W0 — Target Reporter (@Target_Reporter) May 2‚ 2024 “Mr. President‚ have the protests forced you to reconsider any of the policies with regard to the region&;#63;” one reporter asked. Biden responded with one word: “No.” He then thanked reporters and stepped away from the lectern‚ turning his back as reporters continued to call after him. “Mr. President‚ do you think the National Guard should intervene&;#63;” another asked. Biden‚ without turning back to face the gathered reporters‚ simply repeated‚ “No‚” and kept walking. With the 2024 presidential campaign ramping up‚ Biden’s administration has had to walk a fine line as the Democratic Party is split on support for Israel. While repeatedly promising Israel that American support “will not waver” in the wake of the horrific and unprovoked Hamas terror attacks that took place on October 7‚ Biden has also repeatedly called on the Israeli government to exercise more restraint in the ongoing war against Hamas in Gaza. CLICK HERE TO GET THE DAILYWIRE+ APP Biden’s Thursday remarks‚ aimed at quelling destructive and sometimes violent pro-Palestinian protests on college campuses across the country‚ called out some of the illegal actions — such as vandalism and destruction of property — taken by protesters but stopped short of condemning the anti-Israel sentiment that has driven them from the start. “There should be no place on any campus‚ no place in America for anti-Semitism or threats of violence against Jewish students. There is no place for hate speech or violence of any kind‚ whether it’s anti-Semitism‚ Islamophobia‚ or discrimination against Arab Americans‚ or Palestinian Americans&;#33;” Biden said‚ giving equal consideration to anti-semitism and islamophobia. “It’s simply wrong. There’s no place for racism in America. It’s all wrong. It’s un-American.”

The father of a University of North Carolina (UNC) student spoke out on Wednesday after his son — assisted by other members of his fraternity — defended the American flag amid anti-Israel and pro-Palestinian protests across the campus. Jeff Goldklang shared his thoughts in a post on X after photos and videos of the fraternity brothers — who sang the national anthem as protesters insulted and threw things at them — in a post to X. “Our son’s fraternity is going viral for holding an American flag off of the ground‚ respecting all that it has stood for. 99.9% of the positive response has been GOP or right of center‚” Goldklang observed‚ asking why Democrats did not seem to share the same sentiments. “Has it become bad politics for Democrats to respect our flag&;#63; I feel it has‚ which is brutal.” That said‚ please don’t co-opt their actions for political reasons. They acted in spontaneous service of the American and (for several) Israeli flag. Unlike the mob they were protecting the flag from‚ they’re not pawns. Just boys who respect what those flags stand for. — Jeff Goldklang (@JeffGoldklang) May 2‚ 2024 Goldklang went on to say that he did not want to see the fraternity brothers — who had simply acted in the moment out of their respect for their country and its flag — used for political reasons. “That said‚ please don’t co-opt their actions for political reasons‚” he said. “They acted in spontaneous service of the American and (for several) Israeli flag. Unlike the mob they were protecting the flag from‚ they’re not pawns. Just boys who respect what those flags stand for.” CLICK HERE TO GET THE DAILYWIRE+ APP UNC student and Pi Kappa Phi member Guillermo Estrada shared his story in a series of posts that went viral‚ saying that he had felt called to action after growing up in a military community and seeing the sacrifice so many have made to protect that flag. “My fraternity brother and others ran over to hold it up‚ in order for it not to touch the ground. People began throwing water bottles at us‚ rocks‚ sticks‚ calling us profane names. We stood for an hour defending the flag so many fight to protect‚” he said. “I grew up in a Military community and saw first hand the sacrifices they make. I will not stand for the disrespect these ‘protestors’ cause for the sake of another country.”

A group of students at Ole’ Miss belted out “The Star-Spangled Banner‚” drowning out the chanting and shouting of anti-Israel protesters on their campus. In a video posted to X on Tuesday‚ a number of students could be heard singing the national anthem at the top of their lungs while the shouts of nearby protesters — several of whom carried large Palestinian flags — were completely overpowered.

CLICK HERE TO GET THE DAILYWIRE+ APP “I am aware of today’s scheduled protest on the campus of Ole Miss. Mississippi law enforcement is also aware. And they are prepared‚” he said. “Campus police‚ City‚ County‚ and State assets are being deployed and coordinated. We will offer a unified response with one mission: Peaceful protests are allowed and protected — no matter how outrageous those protesters views may seem to some of us. But unlawful behavior will not be tolerated. It will be dealt with accordingly. Law and order will be maintained&;#33;” A similar scene played out on the campus of University of Alabama in Tuscaloosa‚ where students drowned out the anti-Israel protesters with loud chants of “USA&;#33; USA&;#33; USA&;#33;” WATCH: “USA” chants drown out Pro-Palestine chants at University of Alabama pic.twitter.com/HU9rxl0j6t — gray williams (@graywilliamss) May 1‚ 2024 On University of North Carolina’s Chapel Hill campus‚ a group of fraternity boys fought back when anti-Israel protesters attempted to replace an American flag with a Palestinian flag. They stepped in and kept the American flag from touching the ground‚ even as the protesters surrounded them and hurled insults‚ water‚ and other objects their way. Pi Kappa Phi member Guillermo Estrada explained‚ “My fraternity brother and others ran over to hold it up‚ in order for it not to touch the ground. People began throwing water bottles at us‚ rocks‚ sticks‚ calling us profane names. We stood for an hour defending the flag so many fight to protect.”

Actress Drea de Matteo knows how saying the wrong thing can get you whacked. In more ways than one. The actress played Adriana on the mob TV classic “The Sopranos” and her iconic character was one of many who didn’t live to be featured in the final episodes.  More importantly‚ she’s worked for two-plus decades in Hollywood. If you go against the Hollywood orthodoxy‚ however‚ you could lose work.  Said orthodoxy is progressive to the core. Hollywood To You/Star Max/GC Images The Hollywood Blacklist 2.0 is very real. Just ask stars like Kevin Sorbo‚ Antonio Sabato‚ Jr.‚ and Tim Allen. They’ve all experienced various levels of cancellation for embracing a Right-leaning worldview. Superstar podcaster Joe Rogan is one of the few industry types to acknowledge that truth. He shared some behind-the-scenes reflections on his signature podcast in February. “There’s a certain ideology that’s attached to that city‚ and it’s not logical. It’s a kooky‚ wacky‚ completely insulated left-wing view of the world‚ and they enforce it with an iron fist. “And if you’re not on that team you don’t get booked for things. You don’t get picked for things. If you’re someone who has conservative leanings there’s projects you’re never gonna get. You’re never gonna be involved … they’ll malign you without knowing you at all‚ [and are] openly prejudiced about you. So no one does it.” De Matteo recently told Donald Trump Jr.’s “Triggered” podcast why few stars speak out against the Biden administration. Some actively support the 81-year-old leader‚ like Stephen Colbert and Steven Spielberg. Colbert helped Biden raise money for Biden at a high-profile fundraiser last month. The Oscar-winning director is shaping this summer’s DNC Convention in Chicago. Others who might bristle at Biden’s inflation spike‚ porous border‚ and inability to call out the anti-Semitism roiling the country bite their tongue. They don’t wanna get professionally whacked‚ she says. “This administration has just been hammering all of these things and people in Hollywood are petrified… What‚ are you going to speak out against race‚ and sex‚ and all of that stuff&;#63; “People are afraid to have those conversations‚ because first of all‚ you never win with a liberal. You’re just never gonna win.” De Matteo has essentially cut ties with Hollywood. She infamously created an OnlyFans account to help pay the bills‚ and she’s now willing to criticize both her former industry and Democrats now that she’s essentially retired as an actress. They can’t whack her any more‚ but is she exaggerating&;#63; We’ve seen two examples where a star dared to defy Hollywood groupthink and may have paid the price later. Ellen DeGeneres stood atop the Hollywood world via her beloved chat show “Ellen.” And then she made the “mistake” of being friendly to former President George W. Bush. The two chatted at a Dallas Cowboys home game in late 2019‚ and the progressive blowback to the news stunned the lesbian activist and comic. Casey Durkin/NBC via Getty Images She addressed the reaction on her show‚ and she didn’t back down. “When I say be kind to one another‚ I don’t mean be kind to the people who think the same way you do. I mean be kind to everyone.” That was the fall of 2019. Less than a year later‚ DeGeneres’ career collapsed. Industry insiders began leaking to the press how the “Ellen” show created a toxic workplace environment.  The murmurs caught fire and the star with the nicest on-screen persona lost her bulletproof brand. She eventually left the program in 2022 and only recently resurfaced. Would former and current “Ellen” staffers have leaked damaging reports about the star had she not enraged some of her loyal supporters&;#63; Was this punishment for reaching across the aisle in a very public fashion&;#63; Maybe. Possibly. It’s unclear. More recently‚ superstar Dwayne Johnson made a shocking confession. He told Fox News – Faux Noise&;#33; – that he wouldn’t be endorsing President Joe Biden as he did in 2020. He didn’t want to divide the nation‚ and he preferred to let the American public have its say without his input. Sean Gardner/Getty Images He also indirectly threw Biden under the bus during a tight election cycle. “Am I happy with the state of America right now&;#63; Well‚ that answer is no.” That was in early April. A few weeks later‚ TheWrap.com published a blistering expose alleging Johnson repeatedly showed up to work late – very late – on the set of his upcoming film “Red One.” That tardiness was reportedly up to eight hours. That was on days when he showed up at all. The investigation featured other damning tidbits‚ like how fellow A-lister Ryan Reynolds argued with Johnson over his tardy ways and how the ex-WWE star would urinate in bottles on set and have his handlers dispose of them. The studio behind the film has denied the allegations. Johnson hasn’t addressed them directly via his X social media feed. TMZ reports that Reynolds and Johnson did clash about the latter’s tardiness but eventually made amends. The report’s timing sure is … interesting. Johnson has enjoyed a sterling reputation in and outside of Hollywood up until now. Hard-working. Talented. Driven. Versatile. This report is a direct attack on that brand. Is it a coincidence it went public weeks after the superstar refused to back Biden’s re-election campaign&;#63; Maybe. Possibly. It’s unclear. Breitbart News’ John Nolte noted that some of the material in TheWrap.com expose dates back to 2020 when Reynolds and Johnson teamed for “Red Notice.” So‚ Nolte asked‚ why is it resurfacing now&;#63; Here’s betting de Matteo has a firm opinion on the matter. * * * Christian Toto is an award-winning journalist‚ movie critic and editor of HollywoodInToto.com.

House Republicans have requested Katherine Maher‚ who became the CEO of National Public Radio (NPR) in March‚ provide testimony to Congress about the allegations of left-wing bias at the network‚ an invitation that could lead to a high-profile clash on Capitol Hill next week. Energy and Commerce Chairwoman Cathy McMorris Rodgers (R-WA) led a letter that was sent to Maher this week‚ asking the media executive to appear before the Oversight and Investigations Subcommittee on May 8 to address claims related to NPR’s coverage of topics related to politics‚ COVID‚ transgender issues‚ audience figures‚ the network’s own level of diversity‚ and more. “The Committee has concerns about the direction in which NPR may be headed under past and present leadership. As a taxpayer funded‚ public radio organization‚ NPR should focus on fair and objective news reporting that both considers and reflects the views of the larger U.S. population and not just a niche audience‚” the letter said. Controversy rocked NPR when a longtime editor‚ Uri Berliner‚ went public last month with the bias allegations and lamented how NPR had “lost America’s trust” with an increasingly leftist bent. After being suspended for five days‚ Berliner stepped down‚ saying he could not work in a newsroom where he was being “disparaged by a new CEO whose divisive views confirm” the problems he cited. Berliner’s resignation happened after Maher condemned what she said was a “deeply simplistic” and “profoundly disrespectful‚ hurtful‚ and demeaning” assessment of NPR. Maher faced more blowback as posts and clips spread on social media‚ showing her being critical of former President Donald Trump and supportive of President Joe Biden. They also displayed personal views in favor of liberal causes. Maher later told The Wall Street Journal that critics were making a “bad faith distortion” of her views. The House GOP letter noted many of the allegations raised by Berliner‚ including a claim that all of NPR’s editorial staffers in Washington‚ D.C.‚ were registered Democrats. They also highlighted past comments from Mater about dealing with “bad information‚” striking a balance with the speech protections under the First Amendment‚ and warning how the “truth might be a distraction.” McMorris Rodgers and her colleagues wrote the committee is “concerned that your personal views and opinions on matters of public interest heavily influence your decision making at NPR and may cloud objective reporting of the news at NPR.” In addition to the invite‚ they posed questions to Maher on internal NPR matters such as employee party affiliation‚ asking that the information be provided by May 14. “In your own words‚ ‘slowing down a little bit and bringing the conversation in‚ [] listening with sincerity‚ debating with respect‚ consulting widely‚ and weighing difficult decisions with candor‚’ might be what NPR needs to rebuild the damage to its reputation and credibility‚” the letter said. It was not immediately clear whether Maher would cooperate with the House Republicans. The Daily Wire has reached out to NPR seeking comment on the letter. Although there has been a renewed push to cut funding for NPR‚ including a proposed measure from House Republicans‚ Berliner rejected the calls to defund the network. “I respect the integrity of my colleagues and wish for NPR to thrive and do important journalism‚” he said.

As the 2024 presidential election looms closer‚ speculation and uncertainty surround the potential outcome. Many wonder if former President Donald Trump will once again seek the highest office in the land‚ while others eagerly anticipate a new leader to take the reins. However‚ for conservative individuals‚ one question reigns supreme: what will happen if Trump loses and the integrity of the election is questioned&;#63; BREAKING: Trump announces that he's leading a behind the scenes operation to safeguard the 2024 election from the Democrat's election fraud shenanigans &;quot;Our campaign is going to be leading a historic effort in conjunction with the RNC‚ the state parties‚ and a team of the most… pic.twitter.com/n63GX2rQc3 — George (@BehizyTweets) May 1‚ 2024 For those on the conservative side‚ the mere thought of a potential election loss for Trump brings forth a whirlwind of emotions. After a controversial 2020 election‚ where cries of voter fraud and manipulation echoed throughout the nation‚ the integrity of the democratic process has been called into question. And now‚ with Trump hinting at a potential comeback in 2024‚ the fear of history repeating itself is palpable. If Trump were to lose the 2024 election‚ it would undoubtedly be met with resistance and skepticism from the conservative camp. After all‚ the former president proved to be a powerful and passionate leader‚ whose policies and actions aligned with the values and beliefs of many conservatives. The thought of losing that strong voice and representation in the White House is a hard pill to swallow. &;quot;If Trump loses… and he declares that the election is fraudulent‚ this time he's going to have the Republican Party substantially supporting him… There will be a substantial resistance‚ perhaps violence.&;quot; — Bob Kagan warns of a Trump presidential loss https://t.co/1Ji8CTuCnM pic.twitter.com/tt6NDoznys — Morning Joe (@Morning_Joe) April 30‚ 2024 Moreover‚ the lingering doubts about the integrity of the election only exacerbate the worries of conservatives. With the rise of mail-in voting and calls for stricter voter ID laws‚ the potential for fraud and manipulation is a valid concern. And with the possibility of Trump's loss being attributed to such factors‚ the aftermath of the election could be chaotic and tumultuous. But what is perhaps most concerning for conservatives is the impact a Trump loss could have on the country as a whole. With a divided nation and political climate‚ a potential election loss for the former president could lead to further division and tension. The fear of losing the progress and accomplishments made during Trump's term in office is a weight on the minds of many conservatives. However‚ amidst all the worries and uncertainties‚ there is a glimmer of hope for conservatives. As the saying goes‚ &;quot;the truth will prevail‚&;quot; and in this case‚ it could come in the form of election audits and investigations into potential fraud. If such evidence were to surface‚ it could bring a sense of closure and validation for those who question the legitimacy of the 2024 election. In the end‚ whether Trump wins or loses the 2024 election‚ the conservative perspective remains steadfast. The focus remains on ensuring the integrity of the democratic process and standing by their beliefs and values. And whatever the outcome may be‚ conservatives will continue to fight for what they believe is right‚ never backing down from their principles. After all‚ that is what being a conservative is all about. What are YOUR thoughts&;#63; We want to hear from you&;#33; Please comment below to join the discussion.
