Sen. John Barrasso (R-WY) said at a press event on Wednesday that university leaders who have placated pro-Hamas extremists on their campuses deserve to lose their jobs and their schools should have their federal funding pulled. Barrasso’s remarks come as multiple major universities have seen encampments spring up on their campuses where anti-Semitism has been fostered and various criminal acts have taken place. “Violent mobs are continuing to sweep across America’s campuses. And these are anti-Jewish mobs‚ pro-Hamas mobs‚” Barrasso said. “We have Jewish students on campus who are hearing the kind of threats that their great grandparents heard in Nazi Germany. And yet‚ the Biden administration and the Democrats across the country refuse to act.” “Jewish students have actually been chased out of the classroom and off campus. And yet‚ university administrators‚ they cater to the mobs‚” he continued. “The pro-Hamas terrorists have been out there shutting down classrooms and they have canceled classes today at UCLA. Commencements have been canceled.” Barrasso said that college university presidents and administrators who have “put extremism ahead of education” should “lose their jobs.” “So‚ Joe Biden and the national Democrats try to downplay this un-American activity. That’s dangerous and it’s wrong‚” he said. “We have laws in this country to protect against violence‚ to protect students. Students have a right to be protected. Jewish students‚ all students on campus [have a right to be protected] from harassment‚ from discrimination.” He said that schools that have failed to protect students should “lose their federal funding.” “But Joe Biden would rather waffle than act. And why is that&;#63; Why does he bow down to these pro-Hamas protesters&;#63; It’s because of the election coming up and he knows he needs their votes‚” he concluded. “That’s absolutely wrong. What the president ought to be doing is applying the law‚ returning order to campuses‚ and getting students back into the classroom.” WATCH:

The United Methodist church has lifted its four-decade ban on LGBT clergy members. On Wednesday with no debate‚ church delegates repealed a ban prohibiting “self-avowed practicing homosexuals” from being ordained or appointed as ministers. Delegates voted 692-51 at their first General Conference in five years‚ a sharp contrast to previous conferences‚ which have upheld the ban. The ban was initially introduced in 1984. Penalties for celebrating same-sex marriages were also overturned. The United Methodist church had previously put performing same-sex unions on a list of offenses that could result in a church trial. The General Conference was held at the Charlotte Convention Center in Charlotte‚ North Carolina. Many LGBT supporters in attendance at the conference reacted emotionally‚ hugging and crying at the decision‚ according to United Methodist News. Applause also broke out after the vote. “New every day is your love‚ great God of light‚ and all day long you are working for good in the world‚” prayed retired Methodist Bishop Hope Morgan War. “Stir up in us desire to serve you‚ to live peacefully with our neighbors and all creation‚ and to devote this day to your service.” CLICK HERE TO GET THE DAILYWIRE+ APP Also in attendance was Methodist Bishop Karen Oliveto‚ the church’s first openly lesbian bishop in the United Methodist Church. “It seemed like such a simple vote‚ but it carried so much weight and power‚ as 50 years of restricting the Holy Spirit’s call on people’s lives has been lifted‚” Oliveto said. “People can live fully into their call without fear. The church we’ve loved has found a home for us.” “We’ve been going on like this since the ’70s and‚ finally‚ in just a brief few minutes with no debate‚ it was gone. And now we can get on about the business of the church‚” said Marilyn Murphy‚ an observer from the South Carolina Conference. “I did tear up this morning at the announcement of the vote because it was just a huge relief to see justice had been done after so many years‚” said Matt Patrick‚ co-pastor at the University United Methodist Church in Tulsa‚ Oklahoma. “There’s just been a lot of pain in order to get us to this place.” Conservatives in both the Methodist Church‚ as well as the Episcopal and the Evangelical Lutheran Churches have objected to the move toward LGBT clergy. Some have even broken away to form their own denominations in response. “This is certainly the lightning rod issue‚ the presenting issue‚ but our division goes so much deeper‚” said Rob Renfroe‚ president of Good News‚ a Methodist traditionalist caucus. “As the church becomes more and more liberal‚ and if a social agenda becomes its driving force‚ that’s not going to grow the church‚” Renfroe said. In recent years‚ many Christian churches have moved in a progressive direction‚ including on LGBT issues. Speculation has swirled about whether the Catholic Church would change its positions on issues like women clergy‚ contraception‚ gay marriage‚ and gender ideology‚ but the church has never changed its official doctrine.

America’s college campuses are in a state of complete meltdown —  at least in the blue states‚ where administrators are catering to the whims of America-hating‚ evil‚ radical people.  The question everyone is asking right now is an easy question: Why are these students — the most privileged people in the history of the world‚ no skill set‚ no problems — LARPing as terrorists and standing for murderous groups like Hamas‚ Hezbollah‚ Palestinian Islamic Jihad‚ and the like&;#63; Why are they overtly chanting anti-Semitic slogans&;#63; Why are they doing all of this&;#63;   The answer is very simple. They want revolution.  Gary Saul Morson‚ a professor at Northwestern University‚ wrote an interesting book titled “Wonder Confronts Uncertainty‚” which is about the history of Russian literature. But what the book is really about is what he describes as a Russian type: the revolutionary‚ typically from a well-off background but in love with destruction for its own sake. Mikhail Bakunin‚ a very famous nineteenth-century anarchist‚ once said‚ “The urge to destroy is also a creative urge.” Then‚ in 1918‚ a Russian poet named Alexander Blok wrote an essay titled “The Intelligentsia and the Revolution” in which he argued that violence is an antidote to the “boredom‚ the triviality” of regular life‚ adding it will “make everything over …  change our false‚ boring‚ hideous life … This is called revolution.” But Revolutionaries cannot succeed without mainstream support. During the lead-up to the Russian Revolution‚ the so-called constitutional Democratic Party openly cheered and encouraged terrorists‚ even fundraising for them. After a massive terrorist attack in 1906‚ the party leader said‚ “Condemned terror&;#63; Never. That would mean the moral death of the party.” Naturally‚ when the Bolsheviks actually won‚ they killed or arrested all the leading members of the Constitutional Democratic Party. WATCH: The Ben Shapiro Show When it comes to our radicals‚ nothing has changed. These are bored middle- to upper-class kids‚ privileged by a system that has handed them everything‚ including admission to our top universities‚ but given them no mission by their parents or by their society‚ other than to “find themselves.” They’ve been told that they are the smartest and brightest‚ the people who are going to lead us to the future.  But they’ve been given no actual set of values.  So they go to campus and meet fellow revolutionaries and revolutionary professors who are also incredibly privileged and inform them that the system that has given them their privilege is corrupt and evil‚ and they feel guilty. Then‚ the only way to alleviate that guilt is to join the revolution‚ to cosplay oppression. So they have to find a revolutionary cause and LARP as revolutionaries oppressed by the system and dissociate from their privilege. They have to join the mass of the supposedly “oppressed.” What’s going on at these campuses seems like LARPing: live action role playing. And maybe these idiots will go on to integrate into more mainstream institutions‚ which they then destroy and corrupt from the inside.  After all‚ that has been the formula for the last several decades‚ and it has absolutely destroyed major American institutions‚ from universities to businesses. The radicals went into traditional American society. Instead of being shaped by those institutions‚ they shaped them. But there is‚ in fact‚ a darker and more violent path. That is the path where the LARPing for terrorism doesn’t actually just stop at taking over campus buildings or assaulting Jewish students. That’s the path where a few acts of violence blossom out‚ and the real revolution occurs through violence.  That has happened before in American history. In 1971 and 1972‚ there were five bombings a day in the United States. Groups ranging from the Black Panthers to the Symbionese Liberation Army to the Weather Underground engaged in violent terrorism every day.  A possible prediction for the United States is both paths. The radicals will continue to be admitted to the halls of power on the one hand‚ and on the other‚ they will increasingly engage in violence‚ all while humored by the Democratic Party. CLICK HERE TO GET THE DAILY WIRE APP What is Joe Biden doing about this&;#63; Miguel Cardona‚ the Secretary of Education‚ was asked in a recent House hearing: If he could remove the funding from a school that refused to comply with Title VI. In other words‚ if you wanted to get the administration to enforce Title VI — which says you cannot be harassed or intimidated on a college campus on account of race‚ ethnicity‚ sexual orientation‚ etc. —  could the government threaten withdrawal of student funding&;#63; Cardona answered yes‚ of course; if a school refused to comply with Title VI‚ the government would remove federal dollars. But they’re not doing that. They’re not even threatening to do that. Why&;#63; Because the Biden administration is in the same position as the original Constitutional Democratic Party in Russia. They like patting the radicals on the head. They’ve been doing this since 2020‚ when Kamala Harris was talking about bailing out rioters in the middle of Black Lives Matter summer. These terrible college students‚ people who believe truly evil things‚ will likely get more and more revolutionary. And a subset of them will not stop at building takeovers. All it takes is somebody to break the glass first. So what exactly is going to break the glass&;#63; What’s going to move these people from taking over campus buildings to committing bombings&;#63; It could be as simple as something like Donald Trump winning the 2024 election. Student protesters were rioting in 1968‚ but it took Richard Nixon’s election to push those protesters underground and then into overt acts of routine terrorism. Given that the entire Left has now deemed Trump a fascist threat to the United States‚ would it truly be that shocking if the same students now barricading themselves inside administration buildings on behalf of actual terrorist groups like Hamas decided to ratchet up their “intifada” to the next level&;#63; No‚ that would not be shocking at all.

Things got wild on Tuesday night during the Brewers-Rays game in Milwaukee when two players started throwing punches‚ resulting in four suspensions over the brawl. It happened at American Family Field in the eighth inning when Jose Siri — for the Tampa Bay Rays — grounded out against Brewers pitcher Abner Uribe‚ leading to words being exchanged between the players‚ the Associated Press reported. In the clip on social media‚ the umpire then got in between the two players attempting to cool things off‚ before Uribe took a giant swing at Siri —followed by the Rays player hitting right back. In just a matter of seconds‚ the Brewers and Rays dugouts and bullpens completely emptied out‚ with multiple players now involved in the huge brawl. Brewers first baseman Rhys Hoskins could be seen trying to break things up before he got pushed to the ground. “I don’t know who said something first but I saw them talking to each other somewhat discreetly and then off it went‚” Hoskins told the AP. Things got very heated between the Tampa Bay Rays and Milwaukee Brewers&;#33; 😲#BBCBaseball #MLB pic.twitter.com/1RF8Vg7cuJ — BBC Sport (@BBCSport) May 1‚ 2024 Speaking to the press Siri said — through an interpreter — “He [Uribe] was the one who threw first. I don’t think I did anything bad‚” ESPN reported. “When I was in the on-deck circle and he was warming up I felt like he kept looking over at me and staring at me‚ so I just had that feeling‚” he added. “Obviously‚ when I went to first base‚ I confirmed that he had a problem with me.” Before the brawl‚ things had started to get tense between the two teams after Brewers starting pitcher Freddy Peralta appeared to intentionally throw a ball at Siri‚ hitting him with a 3-0 fastball‚ leading to ejections for Peralta and Brewers manager Pat Murphy‚ the AP noted. The move resulted in Peralta being taken off the pitcher’s mound and replaced by Uribe. On Wednesday‚ the MLB announced varied suspensions for the three Milwaukee players and Siri‚ with all four being fined‚ the outlet noted. Uribe got a six-game suspension for the brawl with Siri‚ while Peralta was suspended for five games for allegedly intentionally throwing at Siri in the sixth inning‚ something he has denied. “There was no reason for me to hit him‚” Peralta said. “My pitch count was really low and my goal tonight was to go deep into the game and give our bullpen a breather because they’ve been working a lot‚ so there was no reason to hit him.” The Rays player initially received a three-game suspension that was reduced to two‚ and Murphy will also be forced to sit out for two games as a result of Peralta’s actions.

Back in late April of 2015‚ almost exactly nine years ago‚ riots erupted in Baltimore‚ Maryland‚ over the demise of a career criminal named Freddie Gray‚ who died while in police custody. Few people remember his name today‚ but at the time he was the most recently canonized BLM saint‚ and the guy whose death everyone was pretending to mourn. The most memorable thing about that moment in history isn’t Freddie Gray himself‚ or even the riots‚ but what the then-mayor of the city said the day after‚ as the media put it‚ “peaceful protests took a violent turn.” Mayor Stephanie Rawlings-Blake stood in front of news cameras and told the world that she had decided to give “those who wished to destroy space to do that as well.” By her own testimony‚ she had instructed law enforcement to stand by and give rioters space to destroy their community. To let off some steam and vent their frustrations by committing crimes. At the time it was shocking that a political leader would openly allow that kind of behavior — and even admit that she was allowing it. It also cast the riots in an even more bizarrely childish light. The rioters were like children having a temper tantrum in the grocery store‚ and the mayor was the overly lenient‚ push-over parent allowing the scene to continue. But as Mayor Rawlings-Blake discovered‚ the problem with giving space to destroy is that eventually you’ll want them to stop destroying‚ and then at that point you’ll have to do exactly the thing that you could have and should have done the moment that the lawlessness started. The rioters will not at that point thank you for having given them more time and space than they ever deserved. Whenever you decide to finally enforce the law‚ they will claim to be oppressed — just as they would have if you had enforced the law from the beginning. This is one of the many problems with the “space to destroy” strategy‚ and yet city leaders all across the country in the years since have adopted the same strategy.  WATCH: The Matt Walsh Show In recent weeks‚ as you’ve heard‚ university officials have embraced the “space to destroy” approach as well. And last night that decision — as it always does — came to a head. After allowing leftist pro-Hamas demonstrators to maintain an illegal encampment for many days‚ Columbia University finally brought in the NYPD to arrest the criminals — a decision that was only made after they broke into and occupied a building on campus. The police arrived in full force with riot shields and zip ties and busses to arrest and detain the demonstrators. It didn’t take very long before the situation was brought under control and the authorities had wrestled back the property that had been illegally seized. There were many videos of this operation as it unfolded‚ often posted by leftist groups who expected the public to be shocked and horrified by the images. Here’s one video posted by a group called National Students for Justice in Palestine: SWAT AND SRG HAVE INVADED COLUMBIA’S CAMPUS AND ARE ENTERING HIND’S HALL. THEY HAVE FORCED OUT ALL PRESS TO PREVENT RECORDINGS OF THEIR BRUTALITY. pic.twitter.com/LJJ5nKrUWe — National Students for Justice in Palestine (@NationalSJP) May 1‚ 2024 They posted that along with this caption: SWAT AND SRG HAVE INVADED COLUMBIA’S CAMPUS AND ARE ENTERING HIND’S HALL. THEY HAVE FORCED OUT ALL PRESS TO PREVENT RECORDINGS OF THEIR BRUTALITY. But there was no brutality. Simply the police enforcing the law. And they weren’t invading anything. It’s the pro-Hamas protesters that had illegally invaded a building. A building that isn’t called Hind’s Hall‚ but rather Hamilton Hall. The protesters had not only burglarized and occupied the building‚ but also attempted to rename it. They expect us to be deeply disturbed and outraged on their behalf that their act of organized burglary and trespassing is no longer allowed to continue. Indeed‚ many on the Left — including prominent politicians who spoke out — did express outrage. According to them‚ these protesters should be allowed to do whatever they want‚ indefinitely‚ and break whatever laws they want to break‚ for as long as they want to break them‚ without facing any consequences whatsoever. That is their actual position. Nonetheless‚ dozens of the criminals were arrested‚ and now they all face not only criminal charges but expulsion. They will be thousands of dollars in debt with no college degree. Which means they’ll be in only slightly worse shape than people who are thousands of dollars in debt with a college degree. Meanwhile‚ on the other side of the country‚ the illegal encampment on UCLA’s campus was also invaded. But not by police. Here’s the report from Breitbart: Roughly 100 pro-Israel vigilantes stormed the “Palestine Solidarity Encampment” at the University of California Los Angeles (UCLA) late Tuesday night and early Wednesday morning‚ sparking battles with activists. The raid occurred after nearly a week in which UCLA not only allowed the encampment to occupy the main plaza on campus‚ but also allowed pro-Palestinian activists to run their own security‚ barring access to students and the public. Here’s what that looked like:  This is what happens when you grant one group special privileges to break the law and all of the rules. Not only break the rules — but come up with their own rules. That sort of wildly unjust‚ disproportionate situation can only continue for so long before everyone else — the people expected to abide by the law — have simply had enough of the double standard and decide to take matters into their own hands. If you don’t want that to happen — and you definitely shouldn’t want it to happen — then enforce the rules equally and hold everyone to the same standard. Which means that nobody should be allowed to maintain an encampment of any kind.  Keep this in mind. When pro-life protesters sat peacefully outside of an abortion clinic for a few hours on one single morning‚ the Biden Administration sent armed federal agents to their homes to drag them away in handcuffs‚ convicted them of felonies‚ and now wants to send them to prison for ten years. When January 6th protesters trespassed in the capital‚ the federal government responded by spending the next three years hunting them down one by one and tossing them in prison. When the Left objects to how these pro-Hamas protesters are being treated‚ it’s not because these protesters are being handled harshly. It’s because the Left believes that their protesters — the ones on their side — should be given free rein to do whatever they want. This is a sense of entitlement obviously shared by the protesters themselves‚ which is what led to this unintentionally hilarious moment at Columbia University yesterday afternoon‚ a few hours before the police raid. An unofficial spokeswoman for the demonstrators gave a press conference where she made a number of demands. According to reporting from Noah Pollack‚ a contributor to the Free Beacon‚ this woman’s name is Johannah King-Slutzky. According to her bio‚ Johannah is working on a dissertation on “fantasies of limitless energy in the transatlantic Romantic imagination from 1760-1860.” Her goal‚ she explains‚ is to “write a prehistory of metabolic rift‚ Marx’s term for the disruption of energy circuits caused by industrialization under capitalism.” It’s a shame to think that the world will never get to read this full dissertation‚ now that Johannah is probably going to be expelled. We will have to continue on‚ somehow‚ without the vital information that she was going to provide us about the fantasies of limitless energy in the transatlantic Romantic imagination. In any case‚ now that you know what sort of person we’re dealing with‚ you won’t be surprised by the demands she made during the press conference: Those are their demands. They say they are willing to enter into negotiations‚ but only if Columbia University follows the rules that the burglars and trespassers have set out. Of course the problem for the group is that they have absolutely no leverage whatsoever. They can simply be removed from the building and arrested at any time. They have no leverage‚ no power‚ nothing but the privilege they’ve been granted to cosplay as revolutionaries. It can be revoked at any moment‚ and it was‚ shortly after these demands were made. But the most striking and hilarious part of this bizarre press conference was when she made a plea for — and I quote — humanitarian aid:  Reporter grills Columbia student after she demands the university help feed protestors occupying Hamilton Hall: &;quot;It seems like you're saying‚ 'we want to be revolutionaries‚ we want to take over this building‚ now would you please bring us some food'.&;quot; pic.twitter.com/vNczSAM4T1 — The Post Millennial (@TPostMillennial) April 30‚ 2024 Just to be completely clear here‚ the “humanitarian aid” they’re requesting is Chipotle deliveries. The next time you order a burrito bowl on Door Dash‚ remember that you’re not ordering lunch. You are requesting humanitarian aid. So these protesters committed burglary and trespassing‚ holed themselves up in a building where they didn’t belong and had no right be‚ barricaded the doors and refused to come out‚ and then demanded that free food be delivered to them so that they don’t‚ as they claim they are on the verge of doing‚ starve to death. This is the level of pathological‚ insane‚ delusional narcissistic entitlement that we’re dealing with here. It’s exactly the mentally that these college campuses intentionally instill‚ and which is now being wielded against them. But most of all this goes to show just how fake all of this is. You can say that these kids are radical leftists‚ and that’s certainly true. You can say that they’re anti-American‚ and that’s true too‚ which is why they’ve taken down American flags and replaced them with Palestinian flags‚ shouted Death to America‚ and so on. You can say that they’re anti-white and they see Israel as a vehicle of whiteness‚ and that’s true. You can say that some of these protesters are actually anti-semites who hate Jews as a group. And that’s obviously true. But before any of that‚ what we must say about these protesters and their protest‚ is that it’s all fake. Phony. Pretend. It’s all one big performance. The average American today lives a life of such comfort and luxury that the pharaohs of Ancient Egypt would look at them with envy. Ivy League students have lives significantly more luxurious and comfortable than that. It’s estimated that about 100 billion humans have lived on Earth since the dawn of the species. Those kids setting up encampments and demanding free Panera Bread have more wealth and privilege than almost all of them. They quite easily have it better than 99.9% of all humans who have ever existed. These kids have never experienced hardship‚ persecution‚ suffering or sacrifice. Most of them haven’t even experienced being told no. This has made them not only entitled beyond all imagining‚ but also bored‚ dull‚ and desperate to find meaning in pretended oppression. They have no religion‚ most of them. No belief in God. No source of meaning in their lives. And they subscribe to an ideology that paints all the world and all of history as a struggle between persecutor and persecuted. They want to be in the latter group‚ if only so that they can feel better about themselves‚ and experience some excitement in a life that otherwise consists of sitting around and staring at screens while all of their needs are met at the snap of a finger. Their whole worldview is a part of this game of pretend. They walk around every day in a fantasy world‚ one where they are the revolutionaries fighting back against a racist white supremacist “Handmaid’s Tale” system that seeks to annihilate and enslave them. They maintain this fantasy‚ and double down on it‚ even as the system affords them every privilege it possibly can. In fact‚ the more privileges they are given‚ the deeper they must immerse themselves into the fantasy role playing game so that they can maintain the fiction. Of course‚ if they really desired oppression and suffering‚ they could go find it. There is always the option to actually forgo their comfortable lives and move to a part of the world where they will experience the sort of deprivation and persecution that they spend their whole lives pretending to struggle against. But they don’t want the fantasy to become real‚ anymore than someone fighting zombies in an arcade game wants to look over and find himself surrounded by the monsters in real life. They want to keep it all inside the game. Inside the virtual reality fantasy. Until eventually a piece of reality breaks through the barrier and imposes itself on them — and in this case they find themselves arrested and expelled from school. The good news is that now they have a real misfortune to complain about. The bad news is they brought it on themselves. And the worst news of all is that they will almost certainly learn nothing from the experience.
