NEW YORK CITY—“There is only one solution: Intifada revolution&;#33;” That was one of many chants and slogans yelled into a bullhorn at a pro-Palestinian rally in Washington Square Park in New York City on Tuesday. It’s one of many pro-Palestinian‚ anti-Israel protests that have taken place on or near college campuses since the Hamas terrorist attack on Israel on Oct. 7 and the subsequent war in Gaza. The protests formed after a pro-Palestinian encampment at New York University that included faculty and students was cleared out by the New York Police Department on Monday night. Here are pictures from the event‚ which I observed for several hours. So I’m at the Washington Square pro-Palestine protest by NYU. Some interesting chants here beyond the now standard “from the river to the sea.” pic.twitter.com/hlZJyxirV8— Jarrett Stepman (@JarrettStepman) April 23‚ 2024 pic.twitter.com/QawKm2fSDU— Jarrett Stepman (@JarrettStepman) April 23‚ 2024 The protesters yelled at anyone standing in the crowd with a camera and told people they identified as media to “get to the back.” They also yelled chants making clear that “Zionists” were not welcome. Other chants included “U.S. imperialist‚ No. 1 terrorist.” The protesters frequently shouted “from the river to the sea‚ Palestine will be free.” Typically‚ the river that refers to is the Jordan River and the sea is the Mediterranean‚ though the protesters did not name them specifically. Another common refrain was that “resistance is justified‚” and several signs‚ which appeared to be all printed together and distributed to the crowd‚ read “Resist colonial power by any means necessary.” Several other signs read “Zionist donors and trustees‚ hands off our universities.” Many printed and handmade signs demanded that NYU “divest” from Israel. That’s a movement on college campuses and elsewhere that demands institutions and companies divest their financial support from anything attached to Israel. One sign said that all walls‚ “from Gaza to Mexico‚” need to be taken down. The post I Went to New York University’s Anti-Israel Protests. Here’s What I Saw. appeared first on The Daily Signal.

What part of “Never again” do they not understand&;#63; For decades‚ the two words have been used as a declaration that nothing like the Holocaust of the 1930s and ’40s would ever again be visited upon the world’s Jews. Never. Again. That’s why Israel was reconvened. &;quot;Never again” was once...

Rep. Thomas Massie (R-KY) said the House Sergeant at Arms threatened him with a $500 fine if he didn’t delete his video of Congress members waiving the Ukrainian flag on the House floor. “Instead of fining democrats for waving flags‚ the House Sergeant at Arms just called and said I will be fined $500 if I don’t delete this video post. Mike Johnson really wants to memory hole this betrayal of America‚” Massie said. The video is currently pinned to his profile.

There is a fine in the rules for taking pictures/videos on the House floor‚ but they don’t know if I taped this‚ and democrats post from the floor frequently (example attached)‚” Massie commented. “I believe to be fined‚ they have to serve you notice on the floor while it’s happening (that’s how I was fined for not wearing a mask). Seems a bit creepy that the Sergeant at Arms would be on my X account three days later looking for an infraction. And how would deleting the video undo my alleged infraction of filming on the House floor&;#63; (It wouldn’t)‚” he continued. “The uniparty is big mad at me for exposing them on several votes and for asking the Speaker to resign. The Speaker‚ his staff‚ or one of his allies in our conference is probably directing the Sergeant at Arms to do this‚” he added.

Although it is not clear exactly how the alleged fine was ordered‚ a Congressional Research Service report on the duties of the House Sergeant at Arms states‚ “Under the direction of the Speaker of the House or other presiding officer‚ the Sergeant at Arms plays an integral role in maintaining order and decorum in the House chamber.” The current House Sergeant at Arms is William McFarland who acts as “the chief law enforcement and protocol officer of the House of Representatives and is responsible for maintaining order in the House side of the United States Capitol complex.” The proposed legislation has gone to the Senate for a vote where it is likely to pass on Tuesday evening.

The Tennessee House of Representatives passed legislation that would allow trained teachers and staff to carry handguns in schools. The bill heads to Gov. Bill Lee’s desk where he can sign it into law or allow it to become law without his signature. JUST IN — A bill allowing teachers to be armed in Tennessee schools has passed the House and is headed to Gov. Lee’s desk. https://t.co/S1aKE0sl1o — Citizen Free Press (@CitizenFreePres) April 23‚ 2024 “The Tennessee House just passed a bill that allows teachers and staff to carry a gun to protect the students.

Many protestors continued to chant and stomp down at lawmakers as the House floor fell into chaos over parliamentary issues. The bill is all but guaranteed to become law within weeks‚ as Gov. Bill Lee can either sign it into law or allow it to become law without his signature. Lee has never vetoed a bill. Armed teachers‚ who will be required to undergo training that some opponents have argued is not intensive enough‚ will be allowed to carry handguns in their classrooms and in most campus situations without informing parents and most of their colleagues they’re armed. The school district’s director of schools‚ the school principal and the chief of the “appropriate” law enforcement agency must sign off on a staff member’s authority to carry a concealed handgun‚ so school administrators could theoretically block any teacher from going armed on campus. The legislation also requires criminal and mental health background checks. WATCH: Rep.

I’m told it has also derailed on the floor with reps. @WSMV pic.twitter.com/LekeLTd3Ym — Marissa Sulek (@marissa_sulek) April 23‚ 2024 Per NBC News: Lawmakers in Tennessee passed a measure Tuesday that would allow school staff to carry concealed handguns on school grounds‚ sending the bill to the governor a year after a shooter opened fire and killed six people at a Nashville school. The Tennessee House cleared the legislation in a 68-28 vote. The state Senate‚ which is also controlled by the GOP‚ passed the measure earlier this month. Republican state Rep. Ryan Williams on Tuesday said the bill would bolster school safety. “I believe that this is a method by which we can do that‚ because what you’re doing is you’re creating a deterrent‚” he said on the House floor. Under the legislation‚ faculty and staff members who wish to carry a concealed handgun on school grounds would need to complete a minimum of 40 hours of approved training specific to school policing each year.
