Harvard yearbook ignores Oct. 7 massacre — but includes pic of John Harvard statue in Palestinian keffiyeh: ‘Whitewashing terrorism’

Harvard needs a history lesson, according to students outraged over its 2025 yearbook ignoring the October 7, 2023 Hamas terror attack on Israel.

The book instead depicts only Israel’s aggression in Gaza, with its October 2023 entry including a photo of the famous John Harvard statue draped in a keffiyeh with a caption reading “War breaks out in Gaza.”

The official Harvard yearbook, the 520–page book aimed to capture the “Harvard experience” and described as “Harvard. Immortalized,” shocked graduating seniors when they flipped through the pages recapping every month since their freshman year.

Senate Minority Leader Chuck Schumer (D-NY) is not exactly a popular figure right now, even among his fellow Democrats. As we’ve been covering throughout President Donald Trump’s second term, Schumer keeps having particularly cringeworthy moments, especially over social media, and he’s been ratioed over X plenty of times. The latest incident of terrorism against Jews and supporters of Israel is no different, as we saw from Sunday’s terrorist attack in Boulder, Colorado, which Schumer has responded to over social media.

“I’m closely monitoring the situation in Boulder. This is horrifying, and this cannot continue. We must stand up to antisemitism,” he posted on Sunday night, minutes after Mohamed Soliman allegedly targeted with Molotov cocktails.  those participating in a pro-Israel “Run for Their Lives” event.

Gregg Jarrett Breaks Down Question That Could Determine If Biden Autopen Pardons Are ‘Null And Void’– dailycaller.com

Fox News legal analyst Gregg Jarrett told “Kudlow” guest host David Asman Monday the answer to one question could render some pardons issued by former President Joe Biden “null and void.”

President Donald Trump declared in a March 17 post on Truth Social that pardons issued by Biden to members of the House committee investigating the Jan. 6, 2021, riot at the Capitol were invalid due to the use of an autopen, a mechanical device that can replicate a stored signature. Asman asked Jarrett about whether the use of the device would render pardons invalid.

“There were thousands of pardons and if the president, President Biden, didn’t know about or have the capacity to know about what these things were, that somebody says we’re using the autopen for this, does that make them null and void?” Asman asked.

A Barack Obama-appointed federal judge has blocked President Donald Trump’s administration from terminating the immigration documents of 5,000 Venezuelan nationals living in the United States.

A federal court in California has halted an attempt by Department of Homeland Security Secretary Kristi Noem to revoke approximately 5,000 Temporary Protected Status (TPS) documents.

A TPS designation protects foreign nationals from deportation.

The status also allows them to apply for authorization to work in the United States.

The move from Democrat-aligned Judge Edward M. Chen comes despite the U.S. Supreme Court having already affirmed the Trump administration’s authority to end Venezuela’s TPS designation.

TPS is a limited protection offered only when foreign nationals cannot safely return home.

Supreme Court Declines to Hear Two Major ‘Assault Weapons’ Ban Challenges– conservativeroof.com

The U.S. Supreme Court has declined to hear two high-profile challenges to state gun-control laws—one in Maryland banning semiautomatic rifles such as the AR-15, and another in Rhode Island prohibiting magazines that hold more than 10 rounds. Both denials came in a June 2 orders list that did not provide an explanation for the denials. However, three justices—Clarence Thomas, Samuel Alito, and Neil Gorsuch—dissented, indicating that they would have taken up the cases.

In the Maryland case, sometimes referred to as an “assault weapons” ban, Justice Brett Kavanaugh concurred with the majority in its decision to deny review, but said the Supreme Court “should and presumably will” address the constitutionality of AR-15 bans within the next term or two.

The Maryland case, known as Snope v. Brown, involved a 2013 law enacted in the aftermath of the Sandy Hook massacre, which bars the sale and possession of 45 named semiautomatic rifles and similar “copycat” weapons. The challengers of the ban argued in court filings that rifles such as the AR-15 are among the most popular firearms in the country, lawfully owned by millions for self-defense and sporting purposes, and therefore are protected under the Second Amendment.

The Boulder, Colorado terror attack suspect planned on commiting a mass shooting over the weekend, however, he was stopped from obtaining a firearm due to his immigration status in the United States.

Illegal immigrant Mohamed Sabry Soliman, 45, who admitted he was planning to carry out the attack a year in advance, also told detectives that he was planning to make the attack a mass shooting. He had even taken a concealed-carry course to learn how to handle a firearm, according to the New York Post.

However, his attempt to purchase a gun was thwarted due to his status in the country illegally after the expiry of his visa, Boulder Judicial District Attorney Michael Dougherty said. Soliman, who is facing a total of 624 years behind bars, appeared in court on Monday afternoon, where he said he understood the orders placed against him involving the 12 victims. It was initially reported that there were eight people injured in the attack before four others came forward with injuries.

Soliman is facing 16 counts of attempted murder, which could result in a prison sentence of up to 384 years if convicted. He also faces 48 years for deploying two Molotov cocktails and another 192 years for allegedly attempting to use 16 additional incendiary devices found nearby. He has also been hit with federal hate crime charges.

Jewish Americans Can No Longer Afford to Be Unarmed– townhall.com

If the rise of antisemitism after Hamas’ surprise October 7, 2023, attack on Israel didn’t indicate that more Jewish Americans should arm themselves, the wave of anti-Jewish assaults that occurred in recent months definitely should.

Fortunately, many Jewish Americans have already recognized this and have begun purchasing firearms at increasing rates. But the terrorist attack in Boulder, Colorado, shows that not only do more Jewish folks need to become gun owners, but also join the fight against gun control.

In the year following the October 7 attack, antisemitic incidents in the United States have skyrocketed to unprecedented levels, according to the Anti-Defamation League (ADL). The organization reported over 10,000 cases—the highest yearly figure since 1979. It represents a 200 percent increase from the previous year.

Supreme Court Takes Up Key Election Law Case– townhall.com

The Supreme Court on Monday decided to hear an election case from Illinois, which promises to clarify the legal standards federal election candidates must meet to challenge state election laws in federal court, according to Judicial Watch.

The case is known as Bost v. Illinois State Board of Elections, where Representative Mike Bost (R-IL) and two other Republican presidential elector nominees filed a lawsuit against the Illinois State Board of Elections. The suit challenged a state law authorizing the acceptance of mail-in ballots up to two weeks after election day. A district court dismissed the case due to a lack of standing, and the ruling was upheld by the 7th Circuit Court of Appeals.

Standing has been a contentious issue since 2020. The plaintiff must meet three requirements to have standing in a federal lawsuit as established by the Supreme Court case Lujan v. Defenders of Wildlife (1992). They must show a concrete, particularized, and actual or imminent injury, there has to be a causal connection between the injury and the issue brought before the court, and it must be likely that the court’s ruling will redress the injury. The lower courts argued that because Rep. Bost had won the election, he failed to show a personal injury caused by the state election law.

Trump won’t garnish Social Security benefits for student loan borrowers– www.washingtonexaminer.com

The Trump administration will not garnish Social Security benefits for nearly half a million elderly borrowers in default on federal student loans.

The Department of Education announced plans in April to resume collections on defaulted student loans. President Donald Trump paused student loan collections in response to the COVID-19 outbreak in 2020, and former President Joe Biden maintained that pause through his term in office.

The government can legally garnish federal benefits for any borrowers in the rear, typically withholding roughly 15% from payments to beneficiaries, but Trump administration officials say they plan to extend alternative repayment options to more than 450,000 Social Security beneficiaries who are behind on payments.

Supreme Court leaves in place Maryland’s ban on assault-style rifles – The Washington Post

Excerpt:

The Supreme Court declined to take up a pair of gun rights cases Monday, leaving in place Maryland’s ban on semiautomatic military-style rifles and Rhode Island’s restrictions on large-capacity magazines holding more than 10 rounds of ammunition.

The court’s action drew dissents from three conservatives, showing that the Supreme Court is still divided on how to handle Second Amendment cases after the justices expanded gun rights in a 2022 landmark decision.

Justice Clarence Thomas said the high court should have reviewed the lower-court ruling in the Maryland case and not put off the question of whether the government can ban the most popular rifle in America. The answer, he wrote, is of “critical importance to tens of millions of law-abiding AR-15 owners throughout the country.”

Jun. 2—AUGUSTA — Gov. Janet Mills has signed a new law creating an annual “day to remember” honoring democracy on the anniversary of the Jan. 6, 2021 attacks on the U.S. Capitol.

The law, signed Thursday, will require the governor to issue a proclamation each year on the date “honoring the resilience of democracy” and encouraging people to use the day to reflect “on the values of democracy, civic responsibility and the importance of protecting constitutional governance.”

The annual proclamation would also encourage educational institutions and libraries to observe the day with discussions, events and programming to educate people about the importance of civic engagement and the rule of law.

Mills condemned the Jan. 6 attacks at the time, saying that leaders across the country should denounce the violence and defend democracy, and that all Americans should work to restore honor and decency.
