FLASHBACK: This Isn’t The First Time A Minouche Shafik-Led University Allowed Anti-Semitic Mob To Take Over

FLASHBACK: This Isn’t The First Time A Minouche Shafik-Led University Allowed Anti-Semitic Mob To Take Over

This isn’t the first time Columbia University president Minouche Shafik has faced questions over how she will discipline an anti-Semitic mob on her campus‚ and her past performance has critics in Congress concerned that Columbia’s protesters will get off unscathed. In 2021‚ with Shafik at the helm of the London School of Economics‚ the Israeli ambassador to the United Kingdom Tzipi Hotovely was swarmed by a mob of protesters after she was invited to speak at the prestigious university’s Debating Society. Video from the November 9‚ 2021 incident shows police had to hold back a mob of Palestinian flag-waving protesters who attempted to swarm her car — protesters reportedly chanted the genocidal “From the River to the Sea” chant and waved the flags of U.S.-designated terror organization‚ Kata’ib Hezbollah. Disturbing display of antisemitism: Israeli Ambassador to the UK @TzipiHotovely was evacuated from an event at the London School of Economics last night on the anniversary of #Kristallnacht. pic.twitter.com/V0gE8ZPsZM — Julie Lenarz (@MsJulieLenarz) November 10‚ 2021   Though the university‚ similar to Columbia‚ called intimidation and threats of violence “completely unacceptable” and warned that “students identified as being involved in making such threats will face disciplinary action‚” there’s no indication that any such action was taken. Neither the university nor Shafik‚ who had been president of the school since 2017‚ responded to requests for comment on the incident. Rep. Elise Stefanik (R-NY)‚ who has been one of Shafik’s harshest critics and has called on her to resign‚ said the incident gives her “zero confidence” that there will be consequences for the “pro-terrorist” students. “Columbia University President Shafik’s history of allowing students who perpetrate antisemitic attacks to go unpunished gives me zero confidence that Shafik will follow through and hold Columbia students accountable for their role in the antisemitic‚ pro-terrorist mob that has seized control of the university‚” Stefanik told The Daily Wire. “Shafik must be terminated immediately‚ and Columbia University must make public the names of every student suspended or expelled for taking part in this antisemitic mob.” Columbia’s Hamilton Hall and South Lawn were cleared of anti-Israel protesters after nearly two weeks of the school engaging in negotiations with students and refusing to clear the encampment permanently by force. While the school has continually threatened disciplinary actions‚ some worry that the students will avoid consequences. Similarly to the ongoing protests on college campuses across the United States‚ there was overt anti-Semitism present at the 2021 incident at Shafik’s London School of Economics. The 2021 mob coincided with the 83rd anniversary of Kristallnacht — also known as the Night of Broken Glass — when Jewish-owned stores‚ buildings‚ and synagogues were vandalized by Nazis across Germany. Ahead of the event‚ an Instagram account called LSEclasswar encouraged violence‚ according to The Jerusalem Post‚ writing “Whoever smashes the Ambassador [sic] car window gets pints.  Let’s f**king frighten her.” Several of the students who hosted Hotovely were followed home‚ harassed‚ and threatened with violence‚ according to The Daily Mail. “At the end of the talk I waited for my friends to leave the premises so that I could walk with them‚” a student reportedly said. “More worryingly four to five individuals began to follow us as we walked down Lincoln park and these individuals in particular began to verbally harass the organizers by saying the ‘Kashmiri people are ashamed of you’ and that ‘’you are war criminals.’” “One individual in particular began to physically threaten the organizers by saying ‘I will f*** you up‚ p****holes’ and ‘come on‚ fight me‚ p****holes.’” the student added. The event was the first of a series which included a subsequent event with the Palestinian ambassador to the U.K.‚ Husam Zomlot. Hotovely thanked the British government for support following the ordeal‚ and said she would not be intimidated. I’m thankful for all the support I have received from the British government‚ many friends and partners. I had an excellent event at #LSE and I will not be intimidated. I will continue to share the Israeli story and hold open dialogue with all parts of British society. pic.twitter.com/12xFp87Kc2 — Tzipi Hotovely (@TzipiHotovely) November 10‚ 2021

Melissa McCarthy Reacts To Backlash Against Barbra Streisand Over ‘Ozempic’ Comment

Melissa McCarthy reacted to the backlash against Barbra Streisand after the singer asked McCarthy if she was taking “Ozempic” to lose weight in a since-deleted Instagram post. In a fun video posted on Instagram‚ the 53-year-old actress broke her silence about Streisand’s comment while appearing to read a copy of “Barbra: Celebrating an Icon.” She captioned the post‚ “Barbra Streisand fan club members only&;#33;&;#33;&;#33;” “The takeaway‚ Barbra Streisand knows I exist‚” McCarthy told her followers in the clip. “She reached out to me and she thought I looked good&;#33;” “I win the day‚” she added‚ while appearing to go back to reading the Streisand book.   View this post on Instagram   A post shared by Melissa McCarthy (@melissamccarthy) The “Bridesmaids” star’s comments came after Streisand was slammed for asking McCarthy if she had joined the celebrity fad in taking “Ozempic” for weight loss‚ as previously reported. In the comments section underneath a picture the “Ghostbusters” star posted of herself‚ the 82-year-old singer wrote‚ “Give [Shankman] my regards‚ did you take Ozempic&;#63;” The post has since been deleted‚ but screenshots of the comment are all over social media‚ with some people suggesting the “Funny Girl” star thought she was sending a direct message [DM] and didn’t realize her post was public. “Bless her‚ she thought she was in the DMs‚” one TikToker wrote. Another person on X agreed‚ writing‚ “Omg somebody please teach Barbra Streisand how to send a DM.” Others suggested it was “rude” and “nasty‚” RadarOnline noted. “Wow really&;#33;” one Instagram user wrote. “What happened to not talking about Bodies&;#33; As a mother of a daughter that’s not ok‚ we as women need to not focus on appearance.” Then there were those on social media who just cracked jokes about what Streisand did‚ Glamour magazine noted. “Oh my God‚ Barbra‚ you can’t just ask people if they’re on Ozempic&;#33;” one person wrote‚ with a GIF from “Mean Girls.” Following reports of a backlash against the superstar‚ Streisand responded on X that‚ “OMG I went on Instagram to see the photos we’d posted of the beautiful flowers I’d received for my birthday.” “Below them was a photo of a friend Melissa McCarthy‚ who I sang with on my Encore album‚” she added. “She looked fantastic&;#33; I just wanted to pay her a compliment. I forgot the world is reading.” Related: Barbra Streisand Called Out For Melissa McCarthy ‘Ozempic’ Comment

Prince William Shares Update About Kate Middleton Amid Her Cancer Battle

Prince William shared an update about Kate Middleton amid her ongoing cancer battle after his wife revealed on March 22 that she was undergoing chemotherapy treatment. During the recent grand opening of James Place Newcastle‚ the Prince of Wales was asked how the Princess of Wales and their three kids were doing following Middleton’s cancer diagnosis reveal‚ E&;#33; News reported. “All doing well‚ thank you‚” William replied. “We’re all doing well.” In the heartfelt video Princess Kate posted in March‚ she said that when she went in for “major abdominal surgery” in January‚ she believed that was for a non-cancerous situation. But test results later showed that she had cancer. “It has been an incredibly tough couple of months for our entire family‚ but I’ve had a fantastic medical team who have taken great care of me‚ for which I am so grateful‚” Middleton said. Prince William – Catherine and the children are doing well ❤️pic.twitter.com/2A8ynyasWZ — HarrysGreySuit (@hrrysgreysuit) April 30‚ 2024 “In January‚ I underwent major abdominal surgery in London‚ and at the time‚ it was thought that my condition was non-cancerous‚” she added. The surgery was successful. However‚ tests after the operation found cancer had been present.” “My medical team therefore advised that I should undergo a course of preventative chemotherapy‚ and I am now in the early stages of that treatment‚” Middleton continued. “This of course came as a huge shock‚ and William and I have been doing everything we can to process and manage this privately for the sake of our young family.” CLICK HERE TO GET THE DAILYWIRE+ APP Princess Kate said it has not only taken time for her to recover from major surgery so she can start the chemo‚ but it’s also taken them “time to explain everything” to their three children “George‚ Charlotte and Louis in a way that is appropriate for them‚ and to reassure them that I am going to be OK.” The Princess then said that she is “well and getting stronger every day by focusing on the things that will help me heal; in my mind‚ body and spirits‚” and said having her husband by her side has been a huge “source of comfort and reassurance too.” She also asked for her family to have “some time‚ space and privacy” while she completes her treatment and is then able to focus on making her “full recovery.” While she never addressed exactly what kind of cancer she’s dealing with‚ she closed out her message sending love to all “those whose lives have been affected by cancer. For everyone facing this disease‚ in whatever form‚ please do not lose faith or hope. You are not alone.” Kensington Palace has since said Princess Kate will return to her official duties when she’s cleared by doctors‚ Tatler reported.

39-Year-Old Agitator Arrested During South Florida Anti-Israel Demonstration‚ Charged With Carrying Firearm On School Property

One of the anti-Israel protesters arrested on Tuesday at the University of South Florida in Tampa has been identified by police as a 39-year-old man who is also charged with carrying a firearm on school property as authorities allegedly found a gun in his waistband at the demonstration. Atah Othman‚ 39‚ was one of 10 protesters charged for their part in the South Florida anti-Israel protest that police shut down on Tuesday. Along with the felony charge of possession of a firearm on school property‚ Othman was also hit with charges of trespassing‚ unlawful assembly‚ and resisting an officer without violence‚ Fox 13 reported. Among the other demonstrators who were arrested were 32-year-old Daniel Powell and 27-year-old Cameron Pressey. Two other protesters were also hit with felonies‚ including Emmanuel Atmosfera‚ 25‚ who was charged with aggravated assault with intent to commit a felony with a weapon. Leonardo Tilelli‚ 23‚ was charged with two felonies: battery on a law enforcement officer and resisting an officer with violence‚ according to Fox 13. PICTURED: 10 protesters identified after being arrested during protest at the University of South Florida pic.twitter.com/lqbIEXbOCJ — Breaking911 (@Breaking911) May 1‚ 2024 The Tampa Bay Students for a Democratic Society (SDS) organized the anti-Israel protest‚ which attracted between 75-100 protesters — some of whom were not students. The university gave the group until 5 p.m. on Tuesday to clear their encampment off school property. When police moved in to clear the protesters out‚ they said some demonstrators lined up holding umbrellas and wooden shields‚ NBC 6 reported. Police then reportedly used tear gas to disperse the anti-Israel protesters before arresting 10 of them. The Hillsborough County Sheriff’s Office (HCSO) said on Tuesday‚ “After repeatedly ignoring several dispersal commands while assisting the University of South Florida Police Department with an unsanctioned protest‚ #teamHCSO used tactical skills to evacuate agitators.” After repeatedly ignoring several dispersal commands while assisting the University of South Florida Police Department with an unsanctioned protest‚ #teamHCSO used tactical skills to evacuate agitators. pic.twitter.com/C0o9x33DB3 — HCSO (@HCSOSheriff) May 1‚ 2024 Across the state‚ the University of Florida shut down an anti-Israel protest earlier this week and reportedly arrested nine demonstrators. “This is not complicated: The University of Florida is not a daycare‚ and we do not treat protesters like children — they knew the rules‚ they broke the rules‚ and they’ll face the consequences‚” the university said. Anti-Israel protests have popped up at universities across the nation‚ including at UCLA and Columbia‚ where agitators have become more aggressive. On Tuesday‚ a group of protesters took over Hamilton Hall at Columbia for hours before NYPD officers stormed the building and arrested dozens of people. CLICK HERE TO GET THE DAILYWIRE+ APP In a Wednesday press conference‚ New York City Democratic Mayor Eric Adams said the Columbia protest was being co-opted by people who appeared to be trained. “There were individuals on the campus who should not have been there. They were people who are professionals and we saw evidence of training‚” Adams said. “I know that there are those who are attempting to say‚ ‘Well‚ the majority of people may have been students.’ You don’t have to be the majority to influence and co-op an operation. That is what this is about.”

Math And Science Academy Provides ‘Personalized’ Gender ‘Transition’ Support To Students

Math And Science Academy Provides ‘Personalized’ Gender ‘Transition’ Support To Students

A math and science boarding academy in Illinois implemented a plan last school year that encouraged staff at the school to come up with “personalized” gender “support” plans for students who identify as transgender‚ according to documents shared with The Daily Wire. The Illinois Math and Science Academy‚ a woke public boarding school in Aurora for grades 10-12‚ rolled out a “Gender Support Process and Plan” last school year that details how the school can support students’ “social transition” while they are at school and away from their parents‚ according to documents and emails obtained by Parents Defending Education. The plan was created by the school’s Diversity‚ Equity‚ and Inclusion office and school administrators. “The Gender Support Plan is a resource for transgender‚ nonbinary‚ and gender expansive students‚ to guide IMSA in supporting their needs‚ as well as assisting their social transition while at school‚” a copy of the plan obtained by Parents Defending Education says. “This may include‚ but not limited to the following: access to restrooms‚ locker room accessibility‚ affirmation of student’s chosen name and pronouns‚ disclosure of students identity as requested by student‚ confidentiality of gender identity as requested by student‚ social-emotional supports‚ staff training‚ and other supports expressed by the student.” School Chief Public Affairs and Development Officer Tami Armstrong told The Daily Wire that the plan was rolled out in October 2022 and is still “under development” and that it “has not been fully implemented due to resource limitations.” “The plan is designed to provide guidance and resources for faculty and staff to support the needs of transgender‚ nonbinary‚ and gender expansive students‚” Armstrong said. “Support is intended to be personalized based on the specific needs of each student within IMSA’s capacity.” The plan says that it was influenced by Gender Spectrum‚ Lurie Children’s Hospital‚ and Chicago Public School policies. Previous reporting indicated that Lurie Children’s Hospital of Chicago has worked to push radical gender theory at schools. Credit: Parents Defending Education. The support plan also said that parents should be left in the dark about the gender that their child identified as if the child did not want them to know. “School staff shall not disclose information that may reveal a student’s Chosen Name‚ Gender Identity‚ and Pronouns to others‚” the plan said. “Therefore‚ given the sensitive nature of the information‚ when speaking with parents‚ guardians‚ other staff members‚ or third parties‚ school staff should not disclose a student’s Chosen Name‚ Gender Identity‚ and Pronouns‚ or other confidential information pertaining to the student’s transgender or gender nonconforming identity without the student’s permission‚ unless authorized to do so by IMSA’s Law Department.” Part of the plan included a form filled out about the student that indicated whether a guardian was aware and “SUPPORTIVE” of a student’s “gender identity.” Credit: Parents Defending Education. If the guardian was in the dark‚ staff were asked to think about how to handle phone calls and notes to home in light of that information. According to Armstrong‚ “a student’s legal name‚ preferred name‚ and personal pronouns” are all listed in the school system‚ which parents and guardians can access. The plan says that students are able to use the restrooms and locker rooms of the gender that they identify as. Emails obtained by Parents Defending Education indicated that staff had also discussed “gender inclusive living‚” but that policy hadn’t yet been developed. Armstrong told The Daily Wire that students were housed by the sex on their birth certificate. The emails obtained by PDE show conflict among staff at the school after one faculty member emailed the DEI director in February 2023 complaining about not getting access to the Gender Support plan and asking that DEI stays “top of mind across the institution‚ especially at the cabinet level.” In response‚ the DEI officer responded: “Please stop blaming me for things‚ this work began before you&;#33;” CLICK HERE TO GET THE DAILYWIRE+ APP The school has instituted a vast DEI program that emphasizes racial and sexual identity‚ which includes requiring seniors to attend a three-hour training session called the “Gender and Sexual Orientation Diversity Education Workshop.” “The goal of this program is to increase the awareness‚ knowledge‚ and skills for individuals and address the challenges that exist when one wants to advocate for their LGBTQIA (lesbian‚ gay‚ bisexual‚ transgender‚ questioning‚ intersex‚ asexual)+ peers‚ family members‚ friends‚ and for themselves‚” the course description says. As part of the workshop‚ staff use the “Gingerbread Person‚” from “ItsPronouncedMetrosexual.com” to teach students about “gender identity” and “gender expression.” Credit: Parents Defending Education. Elsewhere in the curriculum‚ resources from the Gay Alliance are used to teach kids about “being respectful to transgender people.” The resources include claims that surgeries to remove healthy body parts‚ such as mastectomies on females who identify as males‚ are not cosmetic‚ but necessary. “The changes I make to my body are not cosmetic‚ but rather reconstructive. Having a body I am comfortable with is vital to my health‚” one part of the curriculum says‚ while another asserts‚ “If I am a transman getting top surgery‚ then I am not ‘getting my breasts removed.’ I am having chest reconstruction. Erika Sanzi‚ of Parents Defending Education‚ ripped into the school for its promotion of gender ideology. “It’s a shame that a school with the words math and science in its name has been totally captured by gender ideology but these emails and documents leave no doubt that is the case‚” she said. “There is no justification for a school to be deliberately hiding information from parents or compelling student speech.”

House Republicans Turn Up Pressure On DOJ To Address Criminal Referral Against Michael Cohen

House Republicans Turn Up Pressure On DOJ To Address Criminal Referral Against Michael Cohen

On Wednesday‚ two leading House Republicans again pressed the Department of Justice (DOJ) to investigate whether Michael Cohen‚ former President Donald Trump’s onetime lawyer and fixer‚ committed perjury during testimony before Congress in 2019. House GOP Conference Chairwoman Elise Stefanik (R-NY) and Intelligence Chairman Mike Turner (R-OH) sent a letter to Attorney General Merrick Garland‚ claiming that the DOJ had yet to address the criminal referral they sent nearly six months ago. “To date‚ we received no response from the Biden Justice Department regarding this criminal referral. This is unacceptable‚” the lawmakers wrote‚ adding that “despite an admission from Mr. Cohen that he lied under oath to Congress‚ the Biden Justice Department did nothing.” Cohen pleaded guilty in 2018 to multiple crimes‚ including lying to Congress‚ and ended up serving time in prison. He is now slated to testify in a New York City hush-money trial about his role in facilitating payments to women who allegedly had affairs with Trump — claims the former president denied. Trump‚ who is again running for re-election‚ faces 34 felony counts of falsifying business records to allegedly cover up the payments in a bid to conceal damaging information as part of a “catch and kill” scheme to influence the 2016 election. He has pleaded not guilty and criticized what he says is a “political persecution.” Stefanik and Turner contend that evidence shows Cohen may have made false statements while testifying under oath to the House Intelligence Committee in February 2019. They point to Cohen’s testimony in Trump’s New York civil fraud trial in October of 2023 as cause for a perjury inquiry. “Mr. Cohen was asked if he was honest during his testimony before the Committee in February 2019. In response‚ Mr. Cohen stated‚ ‘No.’ When asked if he lied under oath in February 2019 before the Committee‚ Mr. Cohen stated‚ ‘Yes‚'” their letter said. Due to a lack of a response by the DOJ‚ Stefanik and Turner suggested‚ the agency is actively working to “help” President Joe Biden‚ who is also running for a second term‚ and “hurt” Trump. “We urge you to stop politicizing and weaponizing the Biden Justice Department — and open a criminal investigation into whether Mr. Cohen committed perjury and knowingly made false statements to the Committee during his testimony in February 2019‚” they added. A DOJ spokesperson told The Daily Wire the agency confirmed receipt of the letter but declined to comment further. When Stefanik and Turner first sent their criminal referral in November‚ Cohen released a statement accusing the lawmakers of doing Trump’s “bidding in witness tampering and obstructing justice‚” according to POLITICO. They “fail to understand the distinction between explicit and implied; which is how the question was asked and accurately responded to. The topic was further clarified several questions thereafter; which is conveniently and intentionally being ignored. I am not concerned at all with their baseless request‚” Cohen added. Stefanik‚ who is seen as a contender to be Trump’s vice presidential running mate‚ announced on Tuesday that she had filed an ethics complaint with the DOJ against special counsel Jack Smith‚ who is leading two other criminal cases against Trump.

Coach Prime Catches Heat Again Over The Transfer Portal

Coach Prime Catches Heat Again Over The Transfer Portal

Adapted from “Crain &; Co.‚” May 1‚ 2024.  Jake Crain: Deion Sanders is catching heat once again because he told a player he needed to transfer during the off season. Then the player didn’t. Now‚ that player is saying Prime never gave him a chance during the spring. Nobody’s forcing anybody to play. I remember when coaches used to gray shirt and blue shirt guys just to be able to have extra guys on the roster and all of a sudden players got cut. I didn’t see anybody crying when Nick Saban was doing that like they’re doing with Deion Sanders. I’m not the biggest Deion Sanders fan in the world‚ but Xavier Smith transferred from Colorado to Austin Peay. It’s not like he transferred to another Power Five or somewhere like that. I don’t know Xavier Smith‚ but‚ buddy‚ you better toughen your ass up or this world is going to chew you up and spit you out like you were never there. Screenshot. Twitter/X. Blain Crain: Where does he think he is&;#63; I don’t even know how he made it to this point. Did he get babied through middle and high school&;#63; Deion Sanders is doing him a favor. Sometimes‚ back in the day‚ you wouldn’t even get this favor; you wouldn’t even get talked to. You would just slowly walk your way through maybe two years‚ and then go. If you’re not good enough and he knows it‚ he’s giving you an outlet to go play the sport that you love. Smith should be saying‚ “Thanks for telling me this. Now‚ I don’t have to waste two years working my ass off when I know I’m not good enough to make it.” If anything‚ this is a good thing from Deion Sanders‚ and it is a coach’s job to know the finesse of both ways: know how to beat a guy down‚ but also bring him up. Hell on the field and heaven off of it. It’s a good mix and the best one knows how to do it. But how many times has Nick Saban said this to a guy&;#63; How many times has Kirby Smart said this to a guy&;#63; It’s not as blown up‚ obviously because it’s not Deion Sanders‚ but I don’t think this is a bad look from Deion whatsoever. Jake Crain: I don’t think it is at all. Now‚ what Shedeur said is a totally different situation. He was defending his dad and put on social media that he basically couldn’t even remember Smith‚ and he was mid at best. Listen‚ just because you think something doesn’t mean you should tweet it. All I heard last week was Spencer Rattler dropped to the fifth round of the draft because of a documentary that came out when he was 17. Well‚ if you’re an NFL scout‚ I want y’all to keep that same energy with Shedeur Sanders‚ with him coming out and saying this about another player. Now‚ it’s probably the truth‚ but it’s a bad business decision. If I’m somebody who’s thinking about drafting Shedeur Sanders‚ I know he’s talented‚ but I’m worried about the people around him who are facilitating him and giving him business advice because this was just a bad strategy. WATCH: Crain &; Company on DailyWire+ Blain Crain: That’s the Caleb Williams effect. How much does your talent outweigh your attitude&;#63;  David Cone: That’s a question as old as time when it comes to guys who’ve had a lot of success in the sports arena‚ especially when you’re talking about paying them tens of millions of dollars to go to the professional level. Another thing to consider when a coach tells a guy he’s not playing well enough and should transfer‚ a lot of times that is just motivation to get them to play better. Oftentimes‚ a coach will say that‚ not because they want the player to actually transfer and leave‚ but because they’re going to do whatever they can to make that player understand he’s not performing. They’ll stop saying those things when he does start performing up to the standard they’re trying to set‚ especially as a new coach and a new place. Jake Crain: Some people accuse me of bias here‚ but I think Bruce Pearl has one of the best quotes when it comes to this. He tells his own players‚ “It’s my job to out recruit you. It’s my job to keep recruiting better and better players.” It’s a player who knows that up front with a coach who says‚ “You’re not good enough to play here. I think if you really want an opportunity to play and to have an impact‚ you probably need to transfer somewhere else. I’m not going to tell you where‚ but I’ll help you and do as much as I can to get you to a place where you can play.” As opposed to telling a player‚ “Hey‚ I know how good you are. I know how good you can be. But if you don’t start performing to the level and reaching your potential‚ then there’s not going to be a spot for you here eventually.” To me‚ there are nuanced ways to handle it‚ and Prime can be a little bit brash‚ but‚ at the end of the day‚ I would much rather have a coach that tells me I probably need to transfer as opposed to telling me I’m good enough just so the coach has a good third stringer they don’t have to give a bunch of practice reps.  I’ve seen coaches do that too. At least Prime is taking the high road in that sense. David Cone: There are multiple things to consider‚ especially when you’re not the starting player‚ including what school would be best. Luckily‚ I was fortunate to play for a lot of great coaches who I felt like had my back as a person‚ but their job also depends on having successful football players who win football games. And everyone grew up in a hometown where there was a guy who was the recreational coach of a baseball or football team who was a really great athlete himself. But he had a son‚ and he wanted to coach his son. He wanted his son to be the starting quarterback‚ or he wanted his son to be the starting pitcher. He didn’t really care about the other players on the team. He may not have known their name. And guess what&;#63; In five years‚ when his kid’s not playing rec league anymore because he’s moved on to middle school or high school‚ he’s not a little league coach anymore. I think that’s Deion Sanders‚ just on a seismic scale right now. His kids are going to go to the NFL. I don’t think it’s a coincidence that Deion Sanders just started coaching college football randomly right when his kids got a chance to play. Maybe I’m wrong. Maybe he will coach for a long time‚ but they won one game before he got there. A large part of Deion Sanders’ responsibility involves resetting the culture. I don’t care for the way he goes about a lot of things in doing that. But at the same time‚ they have to get going now. * * * Jake Crain is co-host of Crain &; Company‚ the Daily Wire’s sports show hosted by former athletes and coaches Jake Crain‚ Blain Crain‚ and David Cone.

‘Stomp On That S***&;#33;’: Protester Drags American Flag Through New York City

Anti-Israel protesters took things a step further in New York City‚ dragging an American flag down the sidewalk while fellow protesters stepped on it and at least one shouted at others to “stomp on that s***&;#33;” The video‚ posted to X by Blake Habyan‚ was captioned: “Happening Now: Protesters At Columbia University Drag American Flag Across The Streets Of NYC: ‘Stomp on that sh*t&;#33;‚’ says a protester.

As the Chancellor left‚ the quad erupted into chaos as protestors began removing the flag once again‚ preparing to destroy it‚” UNC student Guillermo Estrada said. “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.”

Kansas Ban On Child Transgender Medicalization Fails To Beat Veto After Two GOP Lawmakers Flip Votes

The Kansas legislature failed to override the governor’s veto of a ban on transgender medical procedures for children after two Republican lawmakers flipped their votes on Monday. The failed bill would have banned puberty blockers‚ cross-sex hormones‚ and gender surgeries for minors. The state Senate successfully voted 27-13 to override the governor’s veto. However‚ the state House voted 82-43‚ just two votes short of the two-thirds majority needed to push the bill past the veto. Two Republicans broke ranks and voted with Democrats to tank the bill. State House Representatives Susan Concannon and Jesse Borjon voted against overriding the governor’s veto even though both had previously voted in favor of the bill. “We hear of bullying and ask authorities to make it stop‚” Concannon said from the House floor. “We hear about mental health‚ about suicide‚ and ask why. We’re not listening to the impacted youth. Government involvement is not the answer.” “I voted for this bill in the past due to concerns about the surgery‚” she continued. “With further consideration‚ this bill is vague beyond the surgery. These decisions belong between the team of professionals and the parents. The youth need our help‚ not government overreach. To all who have reached out‚ I hear you‚ and vote to sustain the governor’s veto.” The other Republican who voted against the bill‚ Borjon‚ said he “strongly supports” prohibiting gender reassignment surgery and “limiting” the use of hormone blockers‚ but that some parts of the bill “go too far in restricting mental and behavioral health care for children.” CLICK HERE TO GET THE DAILYWIRE+ APP A Republican and physician who voted in favor‚ State Senator Mark Steffen‚ slammed the “woke health care system” for encouraging children to obtain medical gender treatments. “Today I voted to protect our children from being mutilated‚” Steffen said. Governor Laura Kelly‚ a Democrat‚ vetoed the ban earlier this month. Kelly celebrated the legislature’s failure to override her veto in a statement Monday night. “I am glad that bipartisan members of the legislature have stood firm in saying that divisive bills like House Substitute for Senate Bill 233 have no place in Kansas‚” Kelly said. “The legislature’s decision to sustain my veto is a win for parental rights‚ Kansas families‚ and families looking to call our state home.” Under the failed bill‚ children who were already on puberty blockers‚ estrogen‚ or testosterone would have been permitted to continue taking the drugs until the end of this year. However‚ their doctors would have had to come up with a plan to phase them off the drugs‚ as well as show that stopping the drugs immediately would endanger the child. The bill would also have allowed people to sue doctors over transgender medical treatments for children. Doctors could also see their medical licenses revoked if they flouted the ban. The measure would also have prohibited using state funds like Medicaid to promote transgender medical treatments. State employees would also have been barred from using pronouns that did not match a child’s biological sex. Two dozen states have laws or policies restricting transgender medical services for children. In Europe‚ the momentum is even greater against transgender drugs and procedures for children. England and several other countries have severely restricted medical gender transitions for children. Both puberty blockers and cross-sex hormones come with serious health risks. Puberty blockers can affect bone growth and density and cause sexual dysfunction‚ voice damage‚ and infertility‚ among other issues. Cross-sex hormones can cause infertility‚ deadly blood clots‚ heart attacks‚ increased cancer risks of the breasts and ovaries‚ liver dysfunction‚ worsening psychological illness‚ and other serious conditions.

Americans Say That Immigration Is The Top Issue Facing The Country For Third Month In A Row

Americans have named immigration as the single biggest problem facing the United States for the third month in a row‚ a series of polls from Gallup has found. The open-ended question posed by Gallup found that 27 percent of respondents said that immigration was the biggest issue facing the country in April‚ with 28 percent saying the same in February and March‚ up from 21 percent in January. Nearly half of Republicans‚ 48 percent‚ named immigration as the biggest issue facing the country in April‚ while 52 and 57 percent said so in March and February‚ respectively. The share of independents who dubbed immigration as America’s top issue rose to 25 percent in April to reach its record high‚ while just 8 percent of Democrats agreed. A growing share of respondents say that the economy is the biggest problem facing the country‚ but the issue sits in third place behind those who said that the government is the biggest problem.

Absolute chaos here. pic.twitter.com/VN6Kf663ie — Jennie Taer (@JennieSTaer) March 21‚ 2024 The poll results are just the latest examples amid a mounting number of public opinion surveys that have indicated that Biden is underwater with voters on the critical issue‚ which has become a top concern heading into the November election. One poll found that an abysmally low 20 percent of eligible voters say that the United States has control over its own borders‚ with a plurality of all age groups surveyed in agreement. Even respondents in states like Colorado and Massachusetts‚ where Biden won a commanding victory in the 2020 election‚ have said that immigration is the biggest issue facing their respective states. Yet another public opinion survey revealed that a majority of Americans want to limit the number of people who can seek asylum in the U.S. and believe that we should hire more Border Patrol agents. Another recent poll found that just over half of Americans support the mass deportation of illegal immigrants‚ citing concerns about crime‚ national security‚ and the cost to taxpayers. Former President Donald Trump has pledged that he will carry out the “largest domestic deportation operation in American history” if he is reelected in November. The shifting public opinion has come amid an unprecedented crisis on our southern border under the Biden administration‚ with officials recording over 9.5 million nationwide encounters and 1.7 million estimated illegal immigrant gotaways since the Democrat took office. There were only 445‚000 total reported gotaways for 2018‚ 2019‚ and 2020 under the Trump administration.
