After all‚ we wouldn’t want to offend all those pro-Hamas terrorist supporters clogging the streets‚ now would we&;#63; Think about it: a British citizen being harassed by British police for calling an already designated (by the British government) terrorist organization a “terrorist organization.” But I guess you have to expect this when you elect a […]

Senate Minority Leader Mitch McConnell (R-KY) said during an interview over the weekend that the most important issue he is focused on is making sure Republicans retake control of the chamber this November. McConnell made the remarks during a Sunday interview with Margaret Brennan on CBS News’ “Face The Nation” while talking about Congress’ recent passage of foreign aid spending packages. “What I want to do and what I’m focused on is not the presidential race‚ but getting the Senate back‚” McConnell said. “I think the single most important thing I can do is make sure my successor is the majority leader‚ no matter how the presidential election comes out.” “The fact that our nominee basically decided not to continue whipping people against the package was a good sign and I’m going to be advocating increasing the defense budget no matter who gets elected‚ and preparing ourselves for the long term‚ which is China‚ Russia‚ and Iran‚” he continued. “This administration’s budget requests for defense haven’t even kept up with inflation. That needs to change and we need to change as well. Here in Congress‚ the Democrats have always insisted that we spend just as much on domestic as defense. That changed in the last appropriations process. Our spending needs to reflect the needs‚ and the needs now are on the defense side.” He said that the conflicts that have erupted across the world under Biden have “gotten our attention on both sides‚” with most members now understanding that ” this is a very‚ very dangerous period for our country.” CLICK HERE TO GET THE DAILYWIRE+ APP “What I’m doing is trying to change the Senate so that we have a majority and trying to produce a majority of the majority of the importance of defense spending‚ no matter who wins the presidential election‚” he added. “I can’t control that. I have some influence here in the Senate. I intend to use it no matter who gets elected president to increase our defense budget and get ready for the challenges that we have ahead of us‚ rather than just looking backward.” WATCH: Before leaving the Senate‚ @LeaderMcConnell says he intends to use his influence‚ “no matter who gets elected president‚ to increase our defense budget.” When asked if that means potentially going against the GOP and Donald Trump‚ McConnell says: “I’ve been willing to do that.” pic.twitter.com/ATKbkD6U3Z — Face The Nation (@FaceTheNation) April 28‚ 2024

A campus in the nation’s largest university system decided to shut down for the remainder of the semester because of anti-Israel protests that have led to the occupation of multiple buildings. Cal Poly Humboldt‚ located approximately 280 miles north of San Francisco in Arcata‚ announced the move in a notice published on Friday‚ hours after the university shared a response to a series of demands from the protesters. It is one of 23 campuses that make up California State University. “Campus is now closed through May 10‚ and work and academic instruction will be remote as individuals continue to occupy Siemens Hall and Nelson Hall East‚” the statement said. The university also said the protesters have “attempted several times to break into multiple locked buildings with the intention of either locking themselves in‚ vandalizing‚ or stealing equipment.” Cal Poly Humboldt‚ which first closed campus last week‚ is one of a litany of universities around the country grappling with students and others demonstrating in response to the Israel-Hamas war in Gaza. Some institutions have begun to take precautions as clashes with protesters escalate‚ leading to arrests and reports of anti-Semitic behavior. Columbia University‚ the epicenter of the protest activity‚ has shifted to hybrid learning for the rest of the semester. And the University of Southern California canceled its main commencement ceremony. CLICK HERE TO GET THE DAILYWIRE+ APP Cal Poly Humboldt said on Friday that protesters in occupied buildings had until the early evening to leave with a “guarantee of no immediate arrest.” On Saturday‚ the university stated that a “hard closure” of campus was being enforced‚ meaning that anybody present without authorization from University Police would be subject to citation or arrest. In response to protester demands‚ Cal Poly Humboldt acknowledged “indirect investment” with companies or securities linked to Israel and “would welcome the opportunity to discuss the investment policies in the future.” The university also denied having ties to Israeli universities‚ rebuffed a call to change a policy for requesting a police response‚ and said students who voluntarily leave occupied buildings have a “mitigating” factor considered when it comes to penalties.

The Columbia student who was recently banned from campus after a video resurfaced that showed him calling for the murder of Zionists previously told a hometown committee that they &;quot;hate white people&;quot; and wanted to work for &;quot;Squad&;quot; member Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez‚ according to the New York Post. The university issued a statement earlier this month‚ saying that the person whose &;quot;vile videos&;quot; had resurfaced on the internet had been banned from campus.&;quot;Chants‚ signs‚ taunts‚ and social media posts from our own students that mock and threaten to 'kill' Jewish people are totally unacceptable‚ and Columbia students who are involved in such incidents will be held accountable‚&;quot; the statement continued‚ according to another report.The student is Khymani James‚ 20‚ who grew up in Boston and graduated from the Boston Latin Academy in 2021. He was accepted to Columbia University‚ with a hope of studying economics and political science.James said the ultimate hope was to make it to &;quot;Congress‚&;quot; with the goal working with Ocasio-Cortez during college‚ per the report. However‚ their view of AOC appears to have changed in the past three years. On Friday‚ James posted to X‚ writing: &;quot;If you are letting in politicians to your encampment who condemn the Palestinian resistance and endorse Genocide Joe‚ you have fully lost the plot. Encampments should be sites of resistance‚ not Democratic Party photo-ops. BEWARE OF CO-OPTATION.&;quot; — (@) James has since posted an apology to X‚ writing: &;quot;While in high school‚ James was reportedly a non-voting student rep on the Boston School Committee. He developed a reputation of being vocal on issues including budget cuts and the potential of school reopening during the pandemic.In March 2021‚ James resigned‚ claiming they decided to do so because of the &;quot;blatant disrespect and adultist rhetoric.&;quot;James made controversial statements during a committee meeting‚ saying‚ &;quot;I‚ too‚ hate white people&;quot; while discussing two former members accused of discriminating against white people‚ according to the Boston Globe.Though James was called out for his controversial statements‚ he said: &;quot;I stand firm on everything that I say/do.&;quot;“I made my honest testimony unapologetically as a Black man in America and I won’t be apologizing for anything.”“Be grateful that I’m not just going out and murdering Zionists‚” James said in a clip‚ which was captured while he was being questioned by officials from Columbia's Center for Student Success and Intervention over a previous Instagram post‚ per the Post.“I feel very comfortable‚ very comfortable‚ calling for those people to die‚” James added when questioned about the &;quot;problematic&;quot; statement.
