PHILADELPHIA—Victoria Coates‚ a national security expert at The Heritage Foundation‚ traveled Thursday to the City of Brotherly Love with a cadre of security personnel to deliver this simple but now radical belief at the University of Pennsylvania: “Hating Jews is a bad idea.” Following Coates’ remarks to the Penn Alumni Free Speech Alliance and the Open Discourse Coalition at UPenn‚ one of her alma maters‚ I headed over to the College Green‚ the campus quad‚ with two representatives from the university’s College Republicans chapter. I spoke with two members of @Penn's College Republicans. Here's what they had to say about the ongoing pro-palestine protests on campus: The most vocal and opinionated people don't want to sit down and have a civil discussion pic.twitter.com/fcopc0gGDq— Tim Kennedy (@TimKennedyJr1) April 26‚ 2024 Earlier in the day‚ following a demonstration at City Hall‚ pro-Palestinian demonstrators had descended onto College Green and erected an encampment.  By the time I arrived on the scene just after 7 p.m.‚ the camp was in full swing‚ with anti-Israel‚ pro-Hamas protesters (not all of them students) forming a human chain around the green and chanting: “What do we want&;#63; Justice&;#33; When do we want it&;#63; Now&;#33; If we don’t get it&;#63; Shut it down&;#33;” &;#63;&;#63;HAPPENING NOW AT THE UNIVERSITY OF PENNSYLVANIA pic.twitter.com/qM4dYL9ozt— Tim Kennedy (@TimKennedyJr1) April 25‚ 2024 Almost immediately‚ I began to feel uneasy‚ almost as if I were being watched. I was right. Within 20 minutes‚ numerous individuals who appeared to be event organizers approached me from all sides asking‚ “What are you doing here&;#63;” And: “Which media outlet are you with&;#63;” I showed my credentials to each and explained that I was documenting the protest on behalf of The Daily Signal‚ a Washington‚ D.C.-based media organization. (I work for The Heritage Foundation‚ which founded The Daily Signal in 2014.) Just when I felt like everything was OK‚ two protesters—a man wearing a bike helmet and mask and a woman wearing a keffiyeh—sped toward me and dictated that I had to film on the other side of the College Green‚ away from the encampment. It was for my own “safety‚” they said. &;#63;Upon first approaching the encampment on UPenn’s campus‚ I began to feel uneasy. I was almost like all eyes were on me. I was right.Within less than 20 minutes‚ I was approached by numerous “event organizers” asking me what I was doing there and which media outlet I was with. pic.twitter.com/yTqxcg8sVG— Tim Kennedy (@TimKennedyJr1) April 26‚ 2024 I rebuffed the two protesters‚ asking why I wouldn’t be safe where I was. And I explained‚ again‚ that I was a member of the press‚ documenting events as they unfolded in real time. For the rest of my time there‚ several Antifa-type individuals stalked my every move‚ walking in my shadow. &;#63;Once they found out I was with @DailySignal‚ I was immediately surrounded and barred from filming the demonstration.WATCH these Antifa-types restrict me from filming the pro-Palestine protest at UPenn: pic.twitter.com/TMH2bFMBGz— Tim Kennedy (@TimKennedyJr1) April 26‚ 2024 When I tried to approach the pro-Hamas‚ anti-Israel encampment‚ my pathway was blocked by two individuals‚ whom I later learned were called “marshals.” I reminded these Antifa-types that they couldn’t prevent me from filming the protest. I was told that I couldn’t come within the “circle.” The circle to which they referred was a yellow rope strung around the encampment. Yep‚ that’s it. One of them asked me if it was “OK” if I stood away from the circle. “But what if it’s not OK&;#63;” I responded. When I asked what would happen if I did not move away from their encampment‚ I was told: &;quot;The resistance won't stop.&;quot; pic.twitter.com/NcCgEKQe9P— Tim Kennedy (@TimKennedyJr1) April 26‚ 2024 He immediately replied: “The resistance won’t stop.” The “resistance” being individuals‚ like him‚ who would confront and prevent me‚ possibly with force‚ from doing my job. I spoke with two campus police officers‚ who confirmed that I was free to walk about the camp and that the individuals who confronted me most likely weren’t students but outside agitators. I returned to the College Green later Thursday night. I was prevented‚ yet again‚ from documenting the protesters’ camp. I asked one “marshal‚” who was covering his face with a keffiyeh‚ whether he was a student at UPenn. He repeatedly replied‚ “That’s none of your business‚ man.” While speaking with another protester who wouldn’t identify himself‚ I asked why so many pro-Palestinian demonstrators refuse to condemn Hamas‚ the Islamist terrorist organization that slaughtered over 1‚200 people Oct. 7 in Israel. (Hamas also is the elected government of Palestinians in the adjacent Gaza Strip‚ and has been targeted there for eradication by the Israel Defense Forces since the massacre.) We were interrupted by a protester‚ who said to the other one: “I wouldn’t continue engaging with these bad faith arguments that he thinks are good faith [arguments] because he has a very Western-centric perspective.” I tried asking another participant‚ who also wouldn't tell me if he was a UPenn student‚ why Pro-Palestine groups won't condemn Hamas&;#63; I was almost immediately rebuffed. pic.twitter.com/5Q5BgMLy9T— Tim Kennedy (@TimKennedyJr1) April 26‚ 2024 Yes‚ condemning war crimes committed by a globally recognized terror organization is a “bad faith argument.” The encampment survived the night and entered a second day. The University of Pennsylvania hasn’t announced official plans to remove the pro-Palestine encampment. But university officials warned: “We will not permit protest and speech when it devolves into words and actions that violate Penn’s policies‚ disrupt university business‚ or contribute to an intimidating‚ hostile‚ or violent environment on our campus.” The encampment at UPenn joins a wave of other disruptive‚ anti-Israel protests throughout the U.S. From New York University to George Washington University in the nation’s capital‚ members of pro-Palestine student organizations and their affiliates may not want to show their faces. But they are more than willing to say the quiet part out loud. “There’s only one solution‚ intifada revolution. We must have a revolution so we can have a socialist reconstruction of the United States of America.” pic.twitter.com/K8KCQiCtvA— Christian Julio Lasval (@christianlasval) April 25‚ 2024 The post What I Saw at This Pro-Palestine Encampment at Ivy League School appeared first on The Daily Signal.

Four Seattle PD Officers File Lawsuit Alleging Sexual Harassment

A report warned that Botox injections and &;quot;vampire facials&;quot; have led to some women being infected with HIV because of unsanitary conditions at a spa in New Mexico. &;quot;This investigation is the first to associate HIV transmission with nonsterile cosmetic injection services‚&;quot; read a statement from the report from the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention. Three women tested positive for HIV after receiving the novel cosmetic operations. The report found that they were infected despite not having any other HIV risk factors and determined that the operations were to blame. Vampire facials involve blood being drawn from the client's arm and platelets being removed from the blood and injected into the patients with microneedles. The process is intended to rejuvenate the skin and clear away acne and wrinkles. The CDC report said as many as 59 clients could have been exposed to HIV through the facials and Botox injections at a business in Albuquerque that was unlicensed and didn't use appropriate safety measures. While the report did not name the clinic‚ KRQE-TV reported that VIP Spa owner Maria Ramos de Ruiz pleaded guilty to several felony counts of practicing without a license in 2022 and was sentenced to serve three and a half years in prison. The New Mexico Department of Health also shut down her spa in 2018 after finding unlabeled blood tubes on a kitchen counter and injectables stored in a kitchen refrigerator next to food. De Ruiz is currently incarcerated at Springer Correctional Center. In addition to the three HIV positive cases‚ two other infections were linked to the clinic through &;quot;direct or indirect connection with services provided at the VIP Spa‚&;quot; said a department spokesperson. A new case of HIV infection linked to the clinic prompted the department to tell past clients to be tested for HIV‚ hepatitis B‚ and hepatitis C‚ even if they had previously tested negative. &;quot;It’s very important that we spread the word and remind people who received any kind of injection related to services provided at the VIP Spa to come in for free and confidential testing‚&;quot; said Dr. Laura Parajon‚ the deputy secretary of the health department. The CDC warns people against seeking treatments and operations at unlicensed spa facilities.

A grandmother in New Mexico recalls the terror of the night she shot a home intruder in order to protect her 4-year-old granddaughter. Blaze News previously reported the incident from March 21‚ but new details have been revealed through the release of the harrowing 911 recording from the night and the victim's interview with KRQE-TV. Anissa Tinnin said that she was happily dancing to the Taylor Swift movie with her granddaughter when her serene evening was obliterated by an uninvited criminal invading her home in Albuquerque. Joseph Rivera‚ 32‚ had reportedly crashed a stolen vehicle after the Albuquerque Police Department had flattened its tires with stop sticks and he continued to drive on the rims. He fled on foot and allegedly ran into Tinnin's home at about 9:30 p.m. “I jumped over this couch‚ and we met there by the front door‚&;quot; the grandmom told KRQE-TV. &;quot;That’s when he grabbed me and was upset and said to give him my keys. He said he didn’t want to go to jail. He did threaten to hurt my granddaughter and me.&;quot; Tinnin gave him her key fob and tried to calm him down. She said that she called 911 and kept the line open while the rest of the events transpired. &;quot;As we were walking‚ ... I put my hands on him ... to try to be calming‚&;quot; she said.&;quot;Tell me what your name is‚ ... tell me where you are from.&;quot; &;quot;Get back&;#33; I will f****** shoot you&;#33;&;quot; The man took the key fob and left but returned to ask for more keys. She took her granddaughter to a bedroom and grabbed her gun. “I told him to not hurt us‚ that I would do whatever he wanted. I would give him keys‚ money‚ whatever it took‚” she continued. Tinnin said she comforted her granddaughter and then returned outside of the bedroom to find that Rivera had not left. That's when she threatened to shoot him. “Get back. Get back&;#33; I have a gun. Get back&;#33; Get back. I will f****** shoot you&;#33;&;quot; she said. At that point‚ one gunshot can be heard on the recording. &;quot;Why did you shoot me&;#63;” the suspect can be heard asking. “Because you’re in my f****** house&;#33;” she responds. Despite the threat‚ Tinnin put pressure on the man's wound to stop the bleeding. At that point‚ video surveillance captures scores of police officers swarming the home and dragging the suspect out. Tinnin says she wants Rivera to be prosecuted to the fullest extent of the law and called on the district attorney to refuse a plea deal. The man has had five previous felony convictions and faces numerous charges stemming from the home invasion. Megan Tinnin Austin says that her daughter is traumatized from the events of that night and is afraid of the dark. Tinnin says that she believes God was looking over her and her granddaughter that evening. “I do believe we had a guardian angel here with us‚ and I do firmly believe that God was watching over us‚” she concluded.
