Federal authorities on Monday morning raided the Washington, D.C., area home of Rep. Ilhan Omar, a Minnesota Democrat, as part of a criminal fraud investigation into her immigration paperwork filled out by her father, Fox News reported, citing a person familiar with the situation.

The Department of Justice later confirmed the raid when asked about it by CNBC.

Omar, who was born in Somalia and brought to the United States as a child, has been a target of criticism by President Donald Trump. She became a U.S. citizen in 2000, at the age of 17.

Homeland Security Investigations, a division of the Department of Homeland Security, conducted the raid, Fox News reported.

The Justice Department is investigating whether the major TV networks, including CBS, violated antitrust laws after they briefly suspended the television press pool system in response to President Trump’s decision last month to ban three news organizations from the White House.

“Members of the television press pool have boycotted covering White House events,” Justice Department spokesperson Emily Covington said in a statement provided to CBS News on Saturday. “Group boycotts among commercial competitors can violate the Sherman Act. The Antitrust Division is simply investigating to determine whether these news organizations have violated the antitrust laws.”

It was not immediately clear how the Justice Department was defining the move as a violation of the Sherman Act, which is a longstanding federal law that seeks to prevent monopolistic business behavior and maintain fair competition.

The New York Times was first to report the investigation. CBS News has reached out to the White House and all five networks — ABC, CBS, CNN, Fox and NBC — for comment.

In mid-September, Mr. Trump announced that his administration was rescinding the White House credentials of journalists for CNN, MSNOW and Politico over what he alleged was “their constant ‘reporting’ FAKE NEWS!”

The White House also sent letters to each of the three news outlets informing them that certain articles they had published on topics including the new White House ballroom, the ongoing war with Iran and the Republican midterm convention were threats to national security and violated standards of “professionalism and decorum” for reporters.

Following the move, the five networks that make up the TV press pool jointly announced that they would be suspending their coverage in solidarity. That suspension occurred at a critical moment in that it coincided with Chinese President Xi Jinping’s state visit to Washington.

Public executions are the work of tyrants. Now, the U.S. is joining in– www.latimes.com

EXCERPT:

Iran. Afghanistan. North Korea. Somalia. And now, the United States.

If Secretary of Defense Pete Hegseth is to be believed, America will soon gain the dubious distinction of joining the only four countries on the globe that carry out executions in public.

Hegseth said Thursday that he wanted the execution of convicted F.t Hood shooter, Army Maj. Nidal Malik Hasan, to be available for public viewing.

“It was a radical Islamist attack … so he’s going to get a firing squad of soldiers, as it should be,” Hegseth said in an interview with far-right political activist Jack Posobiec. “We’ll make sure that people are able to watch it. That it’s public. Because people need to understand that there’s serious consequences for these types of things.”

The execution is scheduled to be live streamed Dec. 3 from the same military base where Hasan opened fire in 2009, killing 13 and wounding 32.

The planned public display is, in a word, barbaric. It’s the archaic act of tyrannical monarchies, staged in the shadow of a looming tower or in the town square. The Taliban and ISIS were big on public executions. So was Nazi Germany. They were either fighting a war on their own soil or had just come out of one. It’s a poor excuse, but the U.S. military can’t even point to that as justification for the animalistic intention of broadcasting a state-sanctioned murder.

White House Denies Trump Suggested Iran Should “Take Out” US Cities– www.ndtv.com
News Source
EXCERPT:

The White House pushed back Tuesday after Democrats accused President Donald Trump of suggesting Iran should “take out” the major US cities of Los Angeles and San Diego.

Viral footage showed comments by Trump at a midterm elections rally in Nebraska on Monday, where he said high oil prices from the Iran war were justified by the need to stop Tehran getting nuclear weapons.

“It’s a little bit high. It’s a small price to pay for keeping the world safe, keeping our country safe,” Trump said.

“They can take out a city. Let them take, let them take out Los Angeles, let them take out San Diego. This is a very small price to pay, and it’s going to be over with very soon.”

Democrats — who control the state of California where both Los Angeles and San Diego are located — accused the 80-year-old Republican president of encouraging Iran to hit the two urban centers.

“Donald Trump is now saying our foreign enemies should ‘take out’ Los Angeles and San Diego. He is deranged and dangerous,” California Governor Gavin Newsom said on X.

“The nuclear annihilation of an American city is no laughing matter,” Hakeem Jeffries, the Democratic minority leader in the US House of Representatives, said on X.

But the White House insisted Trump was talking about the threat posed by Iran, branding it a “media freakout” that was “not rooted in reality.”

“He was clearly stating US cities would have been threatened if a nuclear Iran hadn’t been stopped,” White House Communications Director Steven Cheung said on X.

The White House’s Rapid Response account on X took issue with a Los Angeles Times headline saying Trump had suggested “letting Iran ‘take out’ Los Angeles and San Diego.”

“No, he didn’t, you buffoons. He was saying the US is fighting to STOP Iran from having the ability to take out LA and San Diego with a nuclear weapon — which they would if they had the chance,” it said.

Trump is hitting the road in the last month before the midterms amid Republican fears that voter anger over the Iran war and high prices could cost them control of Congress.

Harvard will stop granting internships to foreign law students– www.thecollegefix.com

EXCERPT:

Foreign student suggests Americans would have taken his internship just as a ‘hobby‘

Harvard University international students will no longer be able to displace American law students from internship opportunities.

Harvard’s law school announced it was ending work authorizations for foreign law students. The change follows a Trump administration directive to restrict “Curricular Practical Training” opportunities for foreign students. The internships had been used as backdoor way to allow foreigners on student visas to work in the country.

The Crimson reported:

HLS’s graduation requirements include six credits of “experiential learning courses,” which includes externship clinics. But students also have the option to fulfill the requirement through in-house clinics and seminars — meaning externships are not required of every student and no longer qualify for CPT.

The change bars international J.D. students from all of the Law School’s 13 externship clinics, which pair a course component with placements at government agencies, companies, and non-profit organizations. Previously, international students were barred only from some externships, such as government placements that require U.S. citizenship.

Associate Dean Meredith Boak said the school wants to help its foreign students through these changes.

“We reached out earlier this month to all F-1 students and have been working directly with students already enrolled in externship clinics to help them understand their options,” Boak wrote, according to the student newspaper. “Students who are unable to pursue an externship are being offered individualized advising to identify an alternative path aligned with their goals.”

Applicants for a student visa are supposed to attest that they do not plan to use it as a way to gain permanent residency or citizenship in the country. However, an immigration law professor at the University of Oklahoma told Harvard’s student newspaper that this is what students do.

“I would assume that most students would not want to use their optional practical training in this context,” Professor Kit Johnson said. OPT is a related program that also functions as a backdoor employment program for foreign students.

“They usually want to use it for post graduation because then it helps buy them time and buys their employer time to get them a different visa,” Johnson said, implicitly acknowledging foreign students find ways to stay in the country after graduation.

A Canadian law school graduate bemoaned that others like him might be denied of the opportunity. He suggested foreign law students get internships to gain experience, while Americans just do it as a “hobby.”

“It seems like cruelty for cruelty’s sake,” Michael Poirier, a 2025 Harvard Law School graduate complained.

“You’re just removing those opportunities from the people who are the most interested in them, the people who are most likely to provide the most value to those opportunities versus people who, maybe they’re American-born, but maybe doing an NBA internship is more of a hobby for them.”

Poirier said he may not have attended Harvard if he was not able to get an American internship.

“If I were told at the time that the NBA was completely off the table, I never would have come to the United States,” he said. “There would have been no incentive for me to do so. I would have just much preferred to stay among family and friends and have a successful legal career in Canada.”

He now works at Ropes and Gray, a Boston law firm.

The Trump policy may not be permanent, as legal challenges are currently underway. Several groups filed a federal lawsuit on Monday in a Massachusetts federal court, The Crimson reported.

Groups are separately challenging a regulation that would require college students to complete their studies in four years or apply for a waiver.

The far-left is eating its own. Just ask Mamdani.– www.dailykos.com
News Source
EXCERPT:

How far gone do you have to be to think that New York City Mayor Zohran Mamdani is “genocidal”?

Apparently, this far gone:

And this far gone:

Think about how utterly insane this is.

Mamdani is a Muslim Democratic socialist who has spent his political career advocating for Palestinian rights. And he was elected mayor of the country’s largest city while openly embracing Democratic socialism—proving that an unapologetically left-wing politician can build a winning coalition.

Democratic Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez of New YorkAP

He is quite literally one of the greatest political success stories the U.S. socialist left has ever produced. So how does its extremist flank celebrate that success? By calling him a genocidal Zionist.

This is much of the same behavior and attitude that saw Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez effectively of New York excommunicated by the national Democratic Socialists of America, even though its New York City chapter maintained its support.

And while DSA factions participated in yesterday’s protests against Mamdani, this wasn’t exclusively a DSA attack; it was a broader assault from the self-defeating far-left fringe.

It’s gotten so absurd that even prominent pro-Palestinian voices are shaking their heads.

Activist Ihab Hassan has been particularly brutal, writing posts on X like, “The Palestinian cause was hijacked by these idiots long ago, and most people in the pro-Palestine movement who disagree with them are too cowardly to call them out or challenge their disgusting narrative.”

And he notes the uncomfortable truth that much of the pro-Palestinian far-left is very, very white.

So what, exactly, do these people think they’re accomplishing? It’s certainly not helping the Palestinian people in any way.

Politics is about winning power so you can actually change things. You build coalitions, win elections, enact policies, and improve people’s lives. That’s the whole point.

Mamdani did precisely that—he built a coalition broad enough to win America’s largest city without abandoning his progressive principles. He now has an opportunity to demonstrate that Democratic socialism can deliver tangible improvements in people’s lives.

Democratic presidential nominee Vice President Kamala Harris speaks during a rally in October 2024.AP

That’s a tremendous opportunity for the movement that helped elect him. But rather than celebrate that success, these extremists are determined to undermine it.

Why? Because governing requires compromise. It requires engaging with people who disagree with you. It requires recognizing that you’re the mayor of 8.5 million people, not the president of a collegiate activist club.

And for these zealots, compromise isn’t a necessary part of governance; it’s betrayal. So they don’t just eat their own, but they eat their most successful.

Republicans have allowed their far-right white nationalists to fester, undermining their broader movement—something that conservative radio personality Erick Erickson has been grappling with lately. There should be no room in the progressive coalition for anyone who thinks that Mamdani and AOC are “genocidal Zionists.”

And no, I’m not being exclusionary. These wacko leftists exclude themselves—not just by viciously attacking their erstwhile allies, but by making sure to focus their efforts against Democrats, going so far as to agitate against our own ticket in 2024.

Remember? Once upon a time, the vice president was apparently the most powerful person in the world when it came to the Israel-Hamas war. Defeating “Killer Kamala” was so important that helping Donald Trump return to the White House was an acceptable outcome.

Now Trump and Vice President JD Vance are literally turning the Middle East upside down. And Palestinians are hardly better off for having Trump in the White House.

But is the far-left out there protesting this regime? Of course not. Somehow, it’s Mamdani who deserves their anger. The real enemy is the Democratic socialist mayor who showed up at a vigil mourning both Israeli and Palestinian victims.

Clay Jones

This is Trumpian levels of self-sabotage, without Trump’s inexplicable power to actually rally people around him.

These are not serious people. They are not interested in the difficult, often frustrating work of making the world a better place—one that actually improves the lives of the people they claim to be fighting for.

They would rather be impeccably righteous in defeat than accomplish something meaningful through compromise.

So far AOC has done a great job of distancing herself from the worst of these extremists. And after last night, hopefully Mamdani understands that he can also never win with these zealots.

We’ll get straight to the point: The financial hardships that Daily Kos is facing this year are tough.

We continue to be paywall-free. We continue to be supported by our readers, not billionaires or corporations. But we need to bring in more revenue. We are leaning on our community more than ever to help make ends meet.

Pro-Palestinian protesters showed their outrage at Democratic New York City Mayor Zohran Mamdani after he made an appearance at the Israelis for Peace vigil in Union Square.

The activists screamed at Mamdani that he was a traitor in videos captured by bystanders as the mayor left with his entourage and security.

‘There’s no mutual understanding when you’re killing our children, our family members.’

“You opportunist piece of s**t!” one woman yelled.

Mamdani appears stone-faced and angry halfway through the video.

“Mamdani, you can’t hide! We charge you with genocide!” they chanted in another part of the video.

The Muslim mayor has been accused of having ties to pro-terrorist groups, but the protesters were apparently upset that he didn’t do enough to oppose Israel.

The event was held on Oct. 7, the anniversary of the horrific terrorist attack on southern Israel by Palestinian terrorists. Israel retaliated with a devastating military campaign intended to wipe out the terrorist threat.

Protesters chanted and made as much noise as possible for about an hour in order to interrupt the vigil.

Others yelled, “Allahu Akbar!” in another video from the event. One protester holds up a sign reading, “Bomb ‘Israel’ bye!”

“You have seen people within Bibi’s cabinet, who have come out and attacked the deal, and in some ways very personally attacked the president of the United States. Number one, Donald J. Trump is the only head of state in the entire world who is sympathetic to the nation of Israel at this moment in time. And he happens to be the head of state of the world’s superpower.

“If I was in the cabinet of the Israeli government, I might not be attacking the only powerful ally that I have anywhere left in the entire world. The other thing that I would say is that over the last three months, two thirds of the defensive weapons that have protected your homeland, have been built by American hands and paid for by American tax dollars. The problem for Israel is not Donald J. Trump. And anybody in Israel who thinks their biggest problem is the president of the United States needs to wake up and smell the reality of the situation that country is in.” – JD Vance responding to Israel’s rejection of the first major Iran Peace Deal

JD Vance Supports Political Islamists and Enables Their War Against Christianity, UNINTENTIONALLY

There are three groups that agree about two things: they hate Israel (and the Jews overall), and they also hate the historical Christian faith.

These three groups are Nazis/neo-Nazis, Leftists, and most followers of political Islam. They all agree on those two points, that Jews and Historic Christianity are enemies of humanity. All three are also totalitarian and anti-Christian, but within the Nazi and Leftist groups you will find self-professing “Christians” who are yet more aligned with Islamists than with historic Christianity.

First, the neo-Nazis have a version of Christianity that limits Christ’s saving work to the white race (despite the fact that Christ himself was not white).

Next comes the leftist progressive “Christians” who deny all the core theological and moral orthodoxies of the historical Christian faith. The common enemy is Israel and the historic church. This is the strategy of hell. The third group, political Islam, doesn’t have a Christian front, though they claim to protect Palestinian Christians when it suits their narrative ends.

PUB.NOTE: I support Palestinian Christians and have criticized the Israelis. But especially the Palestinian authority, for violating their rights.

In my opinion, JD Vance, friends with neo-Nazi Tucker Carlson, who I now call Qatarlson because of his open support of Qatar, is flirting with the neo-Nazis (although in his defense he is not a neo-Nazi and he is not an authoritarian in any way).

He is, however, aligning with Neo-Nazis, and could yet end up joining them.

There is no circumstance in which I would vote for a JD Vance, as even the worse leftist would produce the same curses upon our land through their wicked policies as surely as Vance would. Under both, militant political Islam gains power everywhere, and no one, so far (not even MAGA) has recognized the threat.

Vance is an ally of militant Islamists, especially Qatar and Pakistan, even if unintentionally. I do not believe this alignment is coming from a place of hatred for the Israelis and Protestants, but it has the net effect of supporting spirits of hatred for both.

I believe JD Vance thinks we Christians should not influence the government too much, and therefore he feels comfortable aligning with powerful Islamists, perhaps naively believing their disadvantaged power voice will be the same as their advantaged power voice.

I believe he thinks he is truly friends with powerful Muslims who just want peace and happiness born from an adherence to American Rule of Law. Call it stupid, but it is not malicious.

In my opinion, JD Vance is an ally of radical Islamic forces, although he is probably unaware of that fact. For me, this disqualifies him and makes him a bad counselor to the President.

If JD Vance wins in 2028, Israel will not control our foreign policy, as he so unjustly claimed, SINCE THEY NEVER HAVE. They have influenced our foreign policy, and perhaps you could argue they have too much influence, but to make the bald-faced lie that Israel is controlling our foreign policy reveals either a lack of character or integrity in Vance.

It also reveals a lack of care for the consequences of spreading an unfounded truth claim he knows is used every day by violent antisemites to justify systemic violence against the Jews and the state of Israel.

THAT’S a blood libel conspiracy theory tailored to promote genocide against Jews, and certain Christians who support them. If JD Vance wins, Qatar will influence our foreign policy far more than Israel ever has because its paid agents have the most influence in the White House today.

If JD Vance wins, Israel will have an enemy of the Jews who puts his Catholic eschatology (which does not allow for the state of Israel to exist) over logic, reason, and even Christian love.

If I ever was MAGA, JD Vance would be the reason I would disavow the whole thing. I don’t need to do that because there is no MAGA movement (in my opinion), only a cult of personality around Trump, because these people trust him and his leadership. They do not worship him; they only trust him (not that a fringe of MAGA don’t fit into the worship category, though they represent a small minority).

Outside of a vague reference to American Rule of Law and a commitment to put American interests above all other interests, there are no clear statements of principle, or outlining of concrete goals that go beyond Trump’s Presidency.

Without Trump, there is no movement because there is no “manifesto” of principles and goals that guides them, only faith that Trump is a great deal maker and a brilliant strategist, and that he truly loves America.

Their reasons are not unfounded, even if I believe the faith is stronger than the justification for it. You cannot deny that Trump is a force of nature one rarely sees. This fact alone makes it easy for me to understand why people support him so strongly. Trump does love this country, but he’s hardly right about everything.

I think that, without guiding articulated principles and goals which every movement member (from the bottom to the top) is accountable to, the movement dies when the heroic leader fades.

Vance would like to pick up that mantle. He will have to first neutralize the pro Zionists who believe three things Vance does not; that Israel is a key U.S. Ally, that Jews should own and govern their ancient homeland, and that powers like Qatar, Turkey, and Saidi Arabia are no less enemies to our land, and to Christianity, than are Russia, China and Iran.

I am an unapologetic Zionist. I am convinced we are fighting a civilizational war against Islamic civilization in its Caesarism phase (decadence, authoritarianism, and imperialism), while many Muslims, like the UAE, are natural allies against all this.

JD Vance is not a friend to the UAE or the Kurds, who are not political Islamic totalitarians, but he is an ally to Qatar, Pakistan, Turkey, and Saudi Arabia who all work to eradicate the presence of Jews, Christians, and purely religious Muslims from the Middle East as precursor to world domination.

This isn’t about the Jews or Israel; they are just in the way. This is about political Islam as an existential threat to every civilization, especially to Christian ones. I support Israel, the UAE, the Kurds, the Assyrians, and Christian Palestinians because their enemy, political Islam, is coming for me next (and in America today is ALREADY coming for us).

Framing this as Israel controlling our foreign policy while your own highest profile supporters are getting rich from political Islam is reprehensible and cannot be excused. JD Vance is no less a friend to Radical Political Islam than Qatar, because Qatar leads him.

IS THIS VINCE’S AIM? Probably not.

He has bought the narrative against Zionism and Israel. He doesn’t see that his allies would take away his freedom in a second when they no longer need him, and they have the power to do so (peace when they have disadvantaged power, war and persecution when they have advantaged power).

His Catholic eschatology makes the existence of Israel a rebuke of the Catholic end-times teachings. His rightful rejection of globalism leads him to reject inordinate foreign influence over American policy.

Israel is hated by globalists because its existence validates ethnic nation-states, and by anti-globalists because of Israel’s perceived influence over American decision-making. Israel, to the anti-globalists, justifies globalism especially because, objectively, prominent Jews overwhelmingly support globalism.

JD Vance has swallowed the “Jews behind every American policy” lie, and thus is predisposed to reject Israel not only because of his Catholic eschatology, but also because of his perception that Israel’s influence on America reinforces globalism.

Also, to be clear, none of these people understand this as a civilizational war, with political Islam as one of the main protagonists. They genuinely believe that if Israel is reduced and Zionism is refuted, this will make for a peaceful coexistence with the “Islamic world.” They do not see this as a civilizational crisis, so they would reject this analysis.

They erroneously believe they can more easily live with Islamists as neighbors than Zionists.

25 years after 9/11, we have still not identified the nature of the war, a civilizational struggle for survival. They have not identified THE main enemy in that war, political Islam. Its alliance with progressives in America, by extension, puts progressives in this same camp, the camp of “Existential threat to the American republic and Christians as a whole.”

They fail to see the 9/11 hijackers as merely the military arm of countries like Pakistan, Saudi Arabia, Turkey, and especially Qatar. To them, these are extremists, not normal fruits of a colonizing imperialistic religion of violence, a religion of conversion through murder.

A former Al Qaeda head runs Syria now, and both Vance and Trump support him while he murders Christians and plots more assaults against the West. This may be the reason God punishes this administration, frankly, until they repent of being allies with hell’s agents in Doha, although I consider foolish leaders to be themselves a judgement against a land.

This is not about JD Vance’s Catholicism, but only about how he CHOOSES to live out his Catholic faith, which is to make eschatology more essential than salvation itself (at least in my opinion), for how else would he support policies and  beliefs that are clearly designed to give legitimacy to real genocide, the genocide of the Jews, which cannot take place until they remove the Jews’ one state-powered safe haven, Israel the state.

For this reason, I will not support JD Vance either in the 2028 primary or the General Election should he choose to run for President.

Just weeks after the United States commemorated the 25th anniversary of the 9/11 terrorists attacks, a new poll reveals more than one in five undergraduate students believe America deserved the attacks, while nearly half of all undergraduate students think physical violence is justified to stop so-called hate speech.

The Buckley Institute’s 2026 National Undergraduate Student Survey polled 803 American undergraduate students between September 5 and 14.

A shocking 22 percent agreed that America deserved 9/11, including 28 percent of liberal students. Notably, leftist streamer Hasan Piker — who campaigned with Michigan Democrat Senate candidate Abdul El-Sayed and cozies up to New York City Mayor Zohran Mamdani — has said America deserved 9/11. Meanwhile, Aber Kawas, a Democratic Socialist of America member and nominee for the New York state Senate, has said that America brought on 9/11 because of capitalism, alleged white supremacy and racism, and alleged Islamophobia.

The poll also found that 45 percent of American college students believe physical violence can be justified to stop hate speech — among which 54 percent of liberals agree compared to 30 percent of conservatives.

“Interestingly, 72% of those who agree that physical violence can be justified to stop hate speech also agree that hate speech is protected by the First Amendment,” The Buckley Institute found.

The FBI arrested a Somali man in Minnesota on Tuesday who allegedly planned to attack the Mall of America later this month.

CBS News, citing a criminal complaint, reported that 18-year-old Sheikhdoon Abdullahi Mohamud posted a video online pledging allegiance to the Islamic State terrorist group in September.

Mohamud allegedly wanted to attack the Mall of America in Bloomington, Minnesota, on Oct. 24, during a Hmong Arts Celebration.

The FBI arrested him at gunpoint after he purchased an AK-47-style rifle from an agency source, CBS reported.

Deported to Central African Republic, a transgender woman who lived openly in Miami is hiding again– abcnews.com

DAKAR, Senegal — In Miami, Daniela Fuentes styled hair for clients and performed in drag at a nightclub called Azúcar. She wore her blond wig in public and dressed as the woman she had known herself to be since adolescence in Cuba.

Now, more than 6,000 miles (10,000 kilometers) away in the Central African Republic, she wears men’s clothes, lowers her voice and tries not to draw attention to the breasts she developed after beginning hormone treatment as a teenager. As part of U.S. efforts to deport people to countries other than their own, authorities sent her Aug. 29 to a place where she has no ties and where advocacy groups have reported arbitrary detention, torture, and other rights violations of sexual and gender minorities.

“Everything is difficult here because I have to hide who I am,” said Fuentes, a 32-year-old transgender woman living on a compound she rarely leaves, sharing a room with four Cuban men also deported from the U.S. “I don’t know this place, the people or the language, and I have no idea what will happen to me.”

The Central African Republic — one of the world’s poorest countries, a place with a history of conflict that the U.S. State Department advises American travelers to avoid — is one of at least 12 African nations that signed agreements to accept “third-country” deportations, a policy the U.S. Supreme Court last month allowed to continue, at least temporarily.

In the Central African Republic — where transgender people have little to no legal protections and are marginalized in much of society — Fuentes dons her wig only in the privacy of her bathroom. She described disguising herself as protection, first in U.S. detention and now in a country she first heard of when she was already headed there on a deportation flight.

“My whole life, my whole identity, was taken away from me,” Fuentes said.

Jewish Former Student Sues New York School, Says Admin Refused to Help While Protesters Shoved, Spat on Her– www.breitbart.com

On the third anniversary of the October 7, 2023, Hamas terrorist attack on Israel, a Jewish former student at The New School filed a federal lawsuit against the university, accusing the school of failing to protect her from antisemitic harassment, physical assaults, vandalism, and exclusion from campus spaces.

The Lawfare Project, a legal organization dedicated to protecting the civil and human rights of Jewish people worldwide, together with co-counsel Arnold & Porter Kaye Scholer LLP, filed the lawsuit in the U.S. District Court for the Southern District of New York on behalf of Sophie Shabot, a Jewish American and Israeli citizen who attended The New School’s Parsons School of Design.

The filing came on the third anniversary of the October 7 terrorist attack, in which more than 1,200 people were murdered and another 251 abducted.

The complaint describes a series of incidents beginning after the attack in which Shabot says she was subjected to antisemitic harassment on campus.

In December 2023, protesters blocked Shabot from entering the University Center while allowing non-Jewish students through, according to the lawsuit. The complaint says she was shoved out of the building, spat on, and screamed at through a bullhorn.

The lawsuit says another confrontation occurred in March 2024 after protesters vandalized and took over a space reserved for a Hillel event featuring an Israeli speaker and prevented Jewish students from entering.

Washington — New videos obtained exclusively by CBS News show Iranian attacks on a major U.S. military base in Kuwait as the war with Iran kicked off seven months ago. American forces faced ballistic missiles, drones and what witnesses described as Iranian F-5 fighter jets.

The footage obtained by CBS News was recorded by a person stationed on the ground at Camp Buehring, and captures the moments of impact and their explosive aftermath. Damage to buildings and military equipment can also be seen in the videos.

The attacks on Camp Buehring offer a window into the strain Iranian attacks placed on American forces during the opening days of the war. CBS News has learned that soldiers defending the base ran critically low on .50-caliber ammunition as some soldiers were repositioned into the Udari Desert in Kuwait. Two soldiers were injured by lightning there in late April, according to U.S. officials with knowledge of the matter.

Contacted by CBS News, U.S. Central Command, the primary unit which oversees American military operations across the Middle East, declined to comment.

Tim Murphy joins Garrison Hayes to break down the bipartisan revolt against data centers.

America is hopelessly divided along party lines. That’s a stubborn fact, we’re told, and the polling bears it out: Democrats dislike Republicans and Republicans dislike Democrats, in almost precisely the same proportions.

But every election produces surprising coalitions that defy entrenched partisanship. In these midterms, left and right have found something so commonly loathed that politicians across the country are flip-flopping in real time.

Mother Jones has been tracking the backlash to data centers on the ground long before the water-guzzling behemoths became the country’s bête noire. The AI boom, with its insatiable need for computing, has unleashed a power grab by tech billionaires. “Data centers have replaced megayachts as the preferred theater of oligarchic status signaling,” national correspondent Tim Murphy wrote in his big Mother Jones investigation into hyperscale data centers and the communities they land on. “Oligarchy is now more than an idea; it is a place.”

A new report published by the Foundation for Government Accountability (FGA) shows federal taxpayers are losing up to $521 billion annually to fraud and improper payments.

According to Just the News, the report estimates that improper payments by the federal government have totaled about $3 trillion since 2003.

Improper payments are defined by the federal government as payments in the incorrect amount, payments to the wrong person or someone who is not eligible to receive the payment, or payments that lack documentation confirming their accuracy, according to the FGA.

Liesel Crocker, the report’s author and senior research fellow at FGA, told The Center Square, “Fraud against federal programs now runs about $521 billion a year, or seven percent of everything Washington spends. Only five federal agencies have bigger budgets than that.”

Crocker continued, “And that’s just the fraud we know about. Of more than 2,200 federal payment programs, only 64 are reviewed for improper payments each year.”

Thanks in large part to great efforts by progressive-controlled government schools promoting Islam and excoriating Christianity, a new poll reveals 4 in 10 young Americans have a favorable view of Sharia, Islamic Law. The poll indicts the public education system, which has fallen to insurrectionist progressives that are more aligned with Chairman Mao and Osama Bin Laden than they are with George Washington and Jesus Christ.

Shocking, but after twenty-five years of whitewashing and proselytizing for Islam, hardly surprising. Since September 11, criticism of jihad terrorism and sharia has been treated as the scandal, while the abuses themselves are buried beneath euphemisms and accusations of bigotry. Now comes the headline: four in ten young Americans support sharia law.

Creed apartheid. Gender apartheid. Death fatwas. Child marriage. Female genital mutilation. The persecution and slaughter of non-Muslims. These horrors deserve exposure and condemnation. Instead, candid discussion is silenced, critics are vilified, and repression is repackaged as tolerance. A generation taught to mistake censorship for compassion is now embracing a system that crushes the freedoms it takes for granted.

Poll: 4 In 10 Young Americans Support Sharia Law
By: Sarah Lee, The Federalist,

‘Groups perceived as marginalized are often treated sympathetically without much scrutiny of what those groups or their belief systems actually teach.’

A set of polls released this week by Our Republic and Rasmussen show a concerning trend among American youth, especially in light of recently revealed immigration numbers under Biden: A quarter of 18-35 voters polled would support a community implementing Sharia law as the legal code for the entire town, city, or state if the majority of residents living there desired its adoption.

Additionally, according to the Our Republic poll:

Overall, 21% of likely voters said they have a mostly or somewhat positive opinion of sharia, compared with 57% who have a negative opinion. Positive views were much higher among younger Americans, including 43% of voters ages 18–24 and 39% of those ages 25–29.

The current head of CNN, Mark Thompson, said of the merger, “First, I’m convinced that from David Ellison on down, Paramount Skydance leadership really does believe in news alongside entertainment as a top strategic opportunity for our new company… And second, having now spoken to them at length of the topic, I have real confidence that they both understand and will fully support the principle and practice of the kind of independent news that CNN has always stood for.”

US colleges slash tuition by tens of thousands as families balk at sky-high sticker prices

As a record-low number of Americans believe attending college is crucial for success, colleges across the country are slashing tuition by tens of thousands of dollars — though the eye-popping cuts often won’t translate into equally large savings for families.

The Post identified at least a dozen colleges and universities that have cut or announced cuts to tuition or required program fees this year, with several private schools chopping published undergraduate prices by roughly 40% to more than 50%.

Emory & Henry University in Virginia cut tuition roughly in half to $19,990 this fall, while Arizona’s Prescott College lowered on-campus undergraduate tuition 55.8%, from $33,960 to $15,000.

The University of Tulsa plans to cut undergraduate tuition and university fees from $54,000 to $25,000 in fall 2027 — a $29,000, or 53.7%, reduction.

Networks Falsely Claim Trump Wants Iran to Attack Los Angeles and San Diego– www.newsbusters.org

On Tuesday, the “Big Three” elitist networks of ABC, CBS, and NBC each used their flagship morning newscasts to lie to their viewers with four weeks until Election Day by falsely claiming President Trump mused about allowing Iran to destroy Los Angeles and/or San Diego, California, as a “small price to pay” to defeat the Islamist regime.

In a move reminiscent of their 2024 push to make “garbage-gate” a thing, the spin wasn’t true, as Trump was referring to fuel prices as the “small price to pay” to crush Iran as opposed to allowing its ballistic missile and nuclear programs to grow to the point they could fire said warhead at an American city.

ABC’s Good Morning America unsurprisingly led the way. Co-host George Stephanopoulos leaned into his true calling as a longtime Democratic Party official: “Also on Iran, the President is sparking a fierce backlash after suggesting a campaign rally that Iran could take out Los Angeles or San Diego, American cities run by Democrats.”
