Graduating students donned handcuffs, displayed Palestinian flags and tore up diplomas during a graduation ceremony at embattled Columbia University.

Friday's commencement came on the heels of weeks of clashes between pro-Palestine protestors, administrators and law enforcement.

Despite the controversy, some students maintained the fighting spirit. One social work graduate crossed the stage with hands zip-tied above her head as cheers sounded from the audience.

Trump accuses trial judge of being 'corrupt' and 'conflicted' on his way out of court
By Post Staff

Trump again ripped Manhattan Supreme Court Justice Juan Merchan as "corrupt" on his way out of court.

He called Merchan, who was first appointed to the bench in Bronx family court in 2006 by Mayor Michael Bloomberg, then a Republican, of being "highly conflicted."

Merchan became an acting justice in Manhattan Supreme Court, presiding over felony criminal cases, in 2009.

Trump also reiterated his claim that "there's no problem here" and "no crime" in the case.

"It's really a sad day for the country. It's sad for New York," he told reporters.

Why this is news?

Why? Because some people are historically ignorant and compound that ignorance with a penchant for conspiracy theories.

Of course, the government has contingency plans to stay functional in the event of a catastrophic event in Washington, DC.  As anyone who is not historically ignorant knows, it has since the start of the Cold War.  This includes having one person in the line of presidential succession, that year's "designated survivor" be hidden away in a secure facility when the State of the Union address gathers all the others in the Capitol with both houses of Congress.

Shocking footage captured the moment a boatload of migrants rushed a busy California beach as stunned locals watched on.

In a viral video shared to X, crowds gathered on Ocean Beach in San Diego as around a dozen migrants departed a valuable-looking white yacht, without any Coast Guard officials in sight.

The migrants were seen hopping into the water before sprinting towards a residential neighborhood, while beachgoers stopped to film them on their phones.

Here's how Trump's business reimbursed Cohen for the hush money payout, per trial evidence
By Ben Kochman

Then-Trump Organization CFO Allen Weisselberg wrote down notes explaining the scheme to reimburse Michael Cohen for his $130,000 payout to Stormy Daniels, trial evidence shows.

Weisselberg scrawled messy notes explaining the scheme on a copy of a bank statement for Cohen's shell company that was used to make the Daniels payout, Essential Consultants LLC.

Here's how it worked:

-- They started with a $130,000 payment to reimburse Cohen for paying the Daniels hush money.                 

-- They then added $50,000 owed to Cohen to reimburse him for paying an IT firm called "Red Finch," which Cohen testified he hired to rig online polls in favor of Trump in 2015.                                                     

-- Then they doubled $180,000 to $360,000 to make up for the roughly 50% taxes the Midtown Manhattan resident would have to pay because he was in a high tax bracket.

-- They then added an extra $60,000 as a "bonus" to make up for Trump apparently stiffing Cohen on a bonus the previous year.

-- Weisselberg told Cohen that the new total of $420,000 would be paid out in 12 installments of $35,000 throughout 2017.

As for population -- open your eyes.  The gov't just went after folks in nursing homes with this mandated COVID b.s. to wipe out the elderly population -- they've gone after LEGAL Americans and insisted and mandated the COVID vaccine.  Those vaccines have proven to have cause adverse side effects in younger people, and in some instances death.  IMHO I believe that there is the possibilities that the vaccines given to our youth have made them sterile.

The gov't is trying to lower the U.S. population.  Why??



Conspiracy crap nuttery.   Why is every country in the world desperately trying to increase their birthrates?

The US govt, Rep and Dems alike  said we are entering into a nightmare if a younger population is  not there to pay for  the SS/Medicare/Pensions. One thing both democrats and republicans agree upon.

Younger people are dying younger via cancers and  heart attacks because they have been fed fast food since birth, 2-5 energy energy drinks every day , rampant obesity, they smoke pot laced with hard  core THC hundreds if not thousands time more potent than what was in our day. and do drugs hardcore drugs  like exctasy and others  like we drank beer back in our  day, eat nothing but ultra processed foods, sedentary lifestyle, vaping  on and on. Doctor are now treating 30 years old with plugged up arteries like 70 year olds and doing him and knee replacement on young people because of obesity.

The US govt has  trillion of govt programs to help people get healthier, live longer, better healthcare, food stamps, medicaid record numbers, increase baby mortality

I remember when it was said within 1 year all the vaccinated would die, then it was 2 years then 3 and now an article the other day says 5.

Sterile young people LMAO.  No, they are no longer having sex like the Japanese and young men have virginity rates at levels going back to the turn of the century because they have rampant anxiety to how they were raised as snowflakes . There was an article the other day about how many gen z cannot answer  a phone because of anxiety of what they might hear.

As for hearing 1 for spanish 2 for English. Have you ever been to a foreign country that does not speak English?  Every road sign has English name under the foreign name, every large business has the native  and English native language on the building. Tell me the last time under Home Depot you have seen equally large letters "casa deopoe" or whatever spanish would be. You would shrivel up and die if that was the US



I get it the illegals needs vetted and the criminal need deported.

Again, Trump will never deport these folks other than the real criminals.
