The violent pro-Hamas insurgents at UCLA are angry since the police threw away their Palestinian flag. They should burn it like these people have done to the American flag. The J6 rioters and paraders were punished as if they were engaged in espionage when they love America and thought they were defending it.

Oklahoma Republican Governor Kevin Stitt signed a bill on Tuesday that makes illegal immigration a state crime punishable by fine and imprisonment.  The legislation permits Oklahoma law enforcement to arrest people for entering the United States illegally. If convicted‚ the illegal immigrant would be guilty of “impermissible occupation” and could be punished with up to a year in jail and a $500 fine. The person would also be required to leave the state within 72 hours “following his or her conviction or release from custody‚ whichever comes later.” A second offense‚ upgraded to a felony‚ would allow the illegal immigrant to be held for two years behind bars and fined up to $1‚000. Again‚ the person would be required to leave the state within 72 hours of being convicted or completing a prison sentence.  “I am disappointed this bill is necessary. Since President Biden took office in 2021‚ more than 10 million people have poured over the southern border‚” Stitt said. “Countless individuals from across the globe‚ including thousands of Chinese nationals as well as people affiliated with terror organizations‚ have illegally crossed the U.S.-Mexico border.” The legislation‚ HB 4516‚ is set to go into effect on July 1. The measure was passed 39-8 in the Senate and 77-20 in the House. Similar laws have been passed in other Republican-led states like Iowa and Texas but have faced court challenges. Texas’s law is currently on hold while a federal appeals court considers a challenge to it.  The text of the bill said that it was necessary in part due to the influx of Chinese-backed marijuana farms that have cropped up across the state.  “Throughout the state‚ law enforcement comes into daily and increasingly frequent contact with foreign nationals who entered the country illegally or who remain here illegally‚” the bill says. “This is particularly common in regard to illegal marijuana grow operations‚ which have exploded in number in recent years.” CLICK HERE TO GET THE DAILYWIRE+ APP State Attorney General Gentner Drummond said he was grateful that the measure was passed‚ saying it would aid law enforcement. “Oklahoma has reaped the consequences of the Biden Administration’s utter failure to secure our nation’s border‚ as evidenced by the flood of illegal marijuana grows and other criminal activity connected to Chinese syndicates and Mexican cartels‚” he said.  In his statement announcing his signing of the bill‚ Stitt said he would create a work permit and visa task force “to find ways to bolster our workforce” to help “those who are here contributing to our communities and economy.” According to the governor‚ the task force will make recommendations to the governor and state legislature about making it easy for immigrants to work and find jobs in Oklahoma. 

The GoFundMe page that was set up this week to fund a party for the college students who protected the American flag from pro-Hamas protesters at the University of North Carolina has surged past $320‚000 in just a day. In what became an instantly iconic photo that was viewed across social media tens of millions of times‚ a group of young men from the UNC-Chapel Hill chapter of Pi Kappa Phi could be seen holding the large flag‚ preventing it from touching the ground. One of the best photos of 2024 so far: Fraternity brothers are pelted by anti-Israel protesters at UNC Chapel Hill while protecting the United States flag as it is re-hoisted following its removal by protesters. Well done‚ gentleman. 🫡🇺🇸 pic.twitter.com/0DiBQcVLBu — Max Meyer (@mualphaxi) May 1‚ 2024 “We are overwhelmed by you glorious‚ Patriotic Americans who value good beer and great times‚” the page said. “We are in contact with multiple leaders from fraternities whose members helped defend the flag‚ including Alpha Epsilon Pi and others‚ in addition to Pi Kappa Psi. Our gratitude goes to all of them and we will update supporters on what comes next.” “Commie losers across the country have invaded college campuses to make dumb demands of weak University Administrators‚” the page continued. “But amidst the chaos‚ the screaming‚ the anti-semitism‚ the hatred of faith and flag‚ stood a platoon of American heroes. Armored in Vineyard Vines and Patagonia‚ fueled by Zyn and White Claws‚ these triumphant Brohemians protected Old Glory from the unwashed Marxist horde — laughing at their shrieks and wails and shielding the Stars &; Stripes from Soviet missiles.” The page said the funds will be used to “throw this frat the party they deserve.” Student Guillermo Estrada wrote that he was walking to class when he noticed a Palestinian flag had been “raised on our quad flag pole‚” causing him to become “immediately upset.” He said school officials and police officers “were met with profanity‚ middle fingers” and “thrown bottles” when they arrived to re-hoist the American flag. But the protesters persisted‚ he said. CLICK HERE TO GET THE DAILYWIRE+ APP Estrada said his Pi Kappa Phi fraternity brothers and others protected the American flag when protesters tried to remove it again and were “preparing to destroy it.” “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.” Related: UNC-Chapel Hill Students Praised For Saving American Flag From Anti-Israel Protesters: ‘This Is America’

A non-profit group that has allegedly regularly taken part in pro-Hamas protests and encouraged its members to “support our students so that the encampments can go for as long as they can” has received more than $12 million from the investment firm Goldman Sachs’ charitable arm. The People’s Forum‚ which calls itself “a movement incubator for working class and marginalized communities‚” has “been a mainstay at anti-Israel protests since Hamas’s Oct. 7‚ 2023‚ attack on the Jewish state‚” The Washington Free Beacon reported‚ noting that the group “organized a Times Square protest where attendees celebrated Hamas and waved posters with anti-Semitic slogans and imagery” the day after the horrific Hamas massacre of more than 1200 people in Israel on October 7. On Monday‚ the group‚ which included more than 100 “masked and keffiyeh-clad activists‚” according to the Beacon‚ waited until demonstrators at Columbia University could arrive. Once they arrived‚ People’s Forum executive director Manolo De Los Santos lauded them for “decid[ing] that resistance is more important than negotiations” and lashed out at “Zionist” Columbia administrators who “want to be more like their masters in Israel‚” the Free Beacon‚ which viewed the meeting on Zoom‚ reported. The Free Beacon surmised that the source of the funding from Goldman Sachs “is likely Neville Roy Singham‚ a communist who has ‘long admired Maoism‚’ lives in China‚ and is married to Jodie Evans‚ the leader of the hard-left group Code Pink. Singham “reportedly helps finance the Chinese Communist Party’s ‘propaganda worldwide‚’ according to the New York Times‚” the Free Beacon added. CLICK HERE TO GET THE DAILYWIRE+ APP The New York Times reported in August 2023 that a group called No Cold War is “part of a lavishly funded influence campaign that defends China and pushes its propaganda. At the center is a charismatic American millionaire‚ Neville Roy Singham‚ who is known as a socialist benefactor of far-left causes. What is less known‚ and is hidden amid a tangle of nonprofit groups and shell companies‚ is that Mr. Singham works closely with the Chinese government media machine and is financing its propaganda worldwide.” “As with any donor advised fund‚ the prior donation was made with the client’s money‚ at the client’s direction‚” a Goldman Sachs spokesman advised the Free Beacon‚ adding‚ “This was not firm money.” “The IRS’s charity guidelines state that groups may lose their charity status if they engage in ‘planned activities that violate laws’ or ‘induce the commission of crime‚’” the Free Beacon pointed out.

Late Wednesday morning‚ police officers in Mount Horeb‚ Wisconsin prevented what could have been a horrific situation when they shot and killed a 14-year-old boy armed with a weapon‚ reportedly a long gun‚ outside the district’s middle school. According to Wisconsin Attorney General Josh Kaul‚ the armed teenager was a student in the Mount Horeb School District‚ roughly 20 miles west of Madison. The high school in the district is across the street from the middle school. “For a period of time today there was concern that there was an ongoing threat related to this incident. We currently believe that there is no ongoing threat to public safety. But again‚ this is an ongoing investigation‚ and we will update the public if any additional threat to safety is discovered‚” Kaul stated. “An initial search of the middle school has not yielded additional suspects. As importantly‚ we have no reports of individuals being harmed‚ with the exception of the alleged assailant‚” the school district wrote in a deleted Facebook post. “Intermediate center students evacuated. There was no threat at that location. Buses are aware and preparing to escort them to our reunification site. we will be updating you with details shortly. We are in the process right now of a systematic release of middle school students to use restrooms interior to the middle school. They are not being released at this time. You would be so proud of our students and staff‚ and we’re so grateful for our first responders. We will keep you updated.” “A police source told CBS 58 the gunman opened fire on a group of students who were taking part in an activity outside the school‚ but he missed everyone before officers shot and killed him. Kaul would not confirm that detail‚ but he said multiple officers were on leave because of their role in the response‚ including a school resource officer‚” CBS 58 reported. Mount Horeb School District schools will be open on Thursday. School District Superintendent Steve Salerno said‚ “It is our hope that based upon the tone and tenor of those visits…that we can bring students and staff back on Friday. We’ll have a decision on that some point here in the near future. But at this point‚ we are ready to roll up our sleeves and work shoulder to shoulder with our amazing law enforcement‚ first responders who came to help support and protect our young people.” “This could have been a far worse tragedy‚” he added. “We’re beyond grateful for the community’s support of our beautiful children and our loving staff.” “Due to safety precautions taken by our Schools‚ the shooter was never able to enter the building‚” Mount Horeb Village president Ryan Czyzewski and Mount Horeb Chamber Board chair Kara Brandemuehl stated. “The collaboration and coordination between our community’s first responders and School District exemplified the highest standards of professionalism and dedication.”
