[Bee] As pro-Palestine groups continued to gather on campus following the establishment of the Gaza Solidarity Encampment, Columbia University protestors clarified that they only want "Death to America" after America is done paying their student loans for them.
"Death to America... in like, 3 or 4 years when I graduate!" shouted one student protestor. "America truly is the ’Great Satan' that ravages and oppresses other countries and deserves to be wiped off the face of the earth...as soon as the American taxpayers finish paying off our tuition loans!
"But as soon as that's done, then, yeah, totally, death to America!"
The mob of angry students occupying the Gaza Solidarity Encampment agreed that this was an entirely reasonable requirement. "America owes us. You, know, for being all evil and horrible and stuff," said an apparently well-educated student at the university. "We demand loan forgiveness from America. Then it can die as soon as that's done."
As part of this agreement, Columbia students vowed to maintain barely passing grades in all of their liberal arts classes for the duration of time it takes taxpayers to cover their debt.
At publishing time, the Columbia protestors had also called for the death of Elon Musk, but only after they get a Tesla.

Last time I checked - "Death to America" is basically insurrection. And from that you can make a reasonable assumption that DoJ/FBI are on their side by the old "the dog that did not bark".

[REGNUM] A vivid story about members of the Wehrmacht Service who shot a policeman and wounded a second one at night on the road in the Vinnytsia region, only at first glance relates to the present. If we discard the husks of technological layers, then this is the pure 17th century: registered Cossacks are carrying stolen government belongings for sale, and on a dusty road they encounter crown guards. The father and son looked at each other, pulled out their pistols, smoked - and let’s ride the hot horses with the reins on their sides.
What do you mean "become"?
A friend pointed out something interesting to me: If you watch videos and look at still photos from pro-Hamas events on college campuses, what you notice is a preponderance of women. Perhaps because they are more photogenic.
There are men there and even members of the gay and "trans" crowd, but it’s the women who are front and center, and who occupy most of the protest real estate. Their presence at these protests shows the catastrophic decline and fall of progressive women.
Today’s progressive Democrats have their roots in the late 19th and early 20th century when socialism became the creed of white, upper-class American and British intellectuals. Among this group were women of true intellectual heft, [prob weren't getting many roots]
and that’s true even though we can disdain their values (e.g., Crystal Eastman, Helen Keller, Jean Webster, Jane Addams, Annie Besant, Beatrice Webb, Vera Brittain, Winifred Holtby, and Harriot Stanton Blatch). They were well educated in the Western canon and Christian philosophy, and they retained those values and education even as they foolishly believed that socialism was the answer to the societal problems they saw.
This kind of intellectual solidity continued with the first generation of hard-left post-WWII feminists, women such as Betty Friedan, Gloria Steinem, Maya Angelou, Shirley Chisholm, and Simone de Beauvoir. No matter how badly one thinks of these women—and I do because [I'm a Oedipal misogynist, AND]
their pernicious ideas have destroyed families, children, and society as a whole—they weren’t idiots. They were committed communists who effectively focused their knowledge and intelligence on the single goal of breaking down Western institutions.
However, I suspect many of these women genuinely believed their efforts would not only give women greater rights within society, but actually improve women, giving them the opportunity to be better and smarter. Women would no longer be an appendage to men; they would be wise solons in their own right. But intentions don’t shape outcomes and that’s nowhere truer than when it comes to the fruits of the women’s movement.
Unless they retain strong conservative goals, college breaks women:
Research has broadly shown that women report worse rates of mental health compared to their male counterparts. This gender gap has become even more apparent among Gen Zers.
Recent data from the Foundation for Individual Rights and Expression, for example, show that young women deal with appreciably higher levels of stress and anxiety than their male counterparts. When college students were asked about how often they feel stressed, frustrated, or overwhelmed, more than three-quarters (77%) of all students reported feeling these feelings more than half of the time. A closer look found that 84% of women, compared to 66% of men [generally in a stupor from drunken debauchery]
reported regularly feeling stressed and overwhelmed. This 18-percentage-point difference points to something larger going on with collegiate women.
The gender gap continues across a host of additional mental health questions. While more than two-thirds of students (68%) reported feeling anxious more than half of the time, 77% of women, compared to 56% of men, reported feeling anxious this frequently. About 51% of female students said they feel lonely regularly, compared to 43% of male students. And 45% of female students feel depressed regularly, compared to one-third (33%) of male students.
No wonder white, liberal women are disproportionately diagnosed with mental health problems. At present, we hear a lot about mental problems of trangendered: man who try to become women. Makes sense that women trying to become men (although in less drastic fashion) will have mental problems.

Its not just the "liberal" women. Part of the problem of mounting a "beyond the level of the steal" turnout for the 2020 and 2024 elections is that white women in general don't take these things seriously. They concern themselves with "civility" rather than civilization...i.e. the focus on "mean tweets". I saw a bumper sticker the other day that said "Make America Nice Again". How's that working out for everyone?
There are plenty of women who have a "R" on their voter registration card who are going to pull the lever for Biden because they lack any understanding of where we truly are in the world.

To continue: "In a word, they’re neurotic. Well, let’s add some more words: They’re also paranoid, credulous, hysterical, and authoritarian. As George Orwell wrote of the women who embraced Big Brother’s progressive party line, “It was always the women, and above all the young ones, who were the most bigoted adherents of the Party, the swallowers of slogans, the amateur spies and nosers−out of unorthodoxy.”"

Well of course. Women believe everything and everyone should conform to their notions of "what's right."
They are big on "their truth," which seldom if ever aligns with the truth.

William Howard Russell was a British reporter in the USA during the runup to and first years of our civil war.
In "My Diary North and South", he noticed that the most extreme partisans, in both the North and South, were the women.

[Jpost] Leaks from American security and diplomatic sources are a growing concern, especially when they relate to Israel and Iran's sensitive geopolitical landscape. Rather than protecting Israel's security and fostering diplomatic stability, these leaks are causing anxiety, pressure, and chaos.
This breach of discretion has significant implications, undermining diplomatic efforts and potentially escalating an already volatile situation.
Israeli officials have taken a strategic approach to addressing their security needs, retaliating where they were attacked while avoiding public acknowledgment to maintain stability.
This careful balancing act is crucial in a region prone to escalation. Israeli security and governmental sources, speaking to The Jerusalem Post, noted that Israel responded proportionally: "An eye for an eye, a tooth for a tooth."
Despite this, they refrained from officially accepting responsibility for an attack, knowing that public acknowledgment could escalate tensions.

However, the Pentagon's disclosure of Israeli involvement in attacks contradicts this strategic restraint. Israeli sources expressed confusion and disappointment over why the Pentagon decided to inform the American media instead of maintaining silence. Long. See link

If the DC Swamp and the O'Biden Regime have proven anything. Sharing anything with DC just adds a few mins delay, than if the IDF just called Tehran directly.
[Hot Air] Many fear that it’s like the 1930s when the Jewish myth of assimilation was shattered, when age-old ignorance and hatred resurfaced, a precursor to the murder of six million Jews.
It isn’t. It’s worse. In the mid-1930s, the sleeping curse was awakening in Germany alone. Today, Jews are afraid in Australia, South Africa, all over Europe, as the useful idiots march, curse and verbally and sometimes physically abuse innocent Jews, in the name of protecting Palestinians. It’s always in the name of something. As someone wrote, antisemitism is a light sleeper.
Today, everywhere, Jews ask themselves the generational question: Where can we be safe? Where do they not hate us?

TW, I don’t see much craziness in Akron or Cleveland. There are probably some bozos in Kent, but when I walk through past the frat houses, I see no Ukrainian or Palestinian flags, only forlorn makeshift beer pong tables waiting for the weather to turn.

A multi-volume chronology and reference guide set detailing three years of the Mexican Drug War between 2010 and 2012.
Rantburg.com and borderlandbeat.com correspondent and author Chris Covert presents his first non-fiction work detailing
the drug and gang related violence in Mexico.
Chris gives us Mexican press dispatches of drug and gang war violence
over three years, presented in a multi volume set intended to chronicle the death, violence and mayhem which has
dominated Mexico for six years.
Rantburg was assembled from recycled algorithms in the United States of America. No
trees were destroyed in the production of this weblog. We did hurt some, though. Sorry.
