Administrators at Columbia University in New York and a few (though far from all) other colleges have finally heeded the calls for common sense and begun tearing down the pro-Hamas protest tent cities and having the rioters arrested. This welcome change was long overdue and much more remains to be done. (For one thing, they need to start arresting the faculty members who joined the protests.) Some of the students who were arrested are now waking up to a harsh bit of reality, however. Their actions have consequences that can follow them long after they finish their time on campus. With that in mind, some of them have a new set of demands. They are calling for amnesty and the erasure of their arrest records and student records revealing that they have been suspended. Will the congregation join me in a spirited cry of "Boo Hoo?" (Associated Press)
Maryam Alwan figured the worst was over after New York City police in riot gear arrested her and other protesters on the Columbia University campus, loaded them onto buses and held them in custody for hours.
But the next evening, the college junior received an email from the university. Alwan and other students were being suspended after their arrests at the “ Gaza Solidarity Encampment,” a tactic colleges across the country have deployed to calm growing campus protests against the Israel-Hamas war.
The students’ plight has become a central part of protests, with students and a growing number of faculty demanding their amnesty. At issue is whether universities and law enforcement will clear the charges and withhold other consequences, or whether the suspensions and legal records will follow students into their adult lives.
As noted above, the students are fearful that their arrest records and suspensions will "follow them into their adult lives." Based on their recent actions, I realize that we're not dealing with the fastest set of tractors on the farm here, but I have a news flash for these rioters. Nearly every one of you is at least 18 years old and some of the juniors and seniors are in their twenties. You are already in your "adult life," despite the fact that you're not acting in a very mature fashion.

Editorial/Opinion/Blogs / These Protests are the Result of Bad Parenting and an Education System Churning Out Morons~ Derek Hu
« Last post by mystery-ak on Today at 02:11:10 pm »These Protests are the Result of Bad Parenting and an Education System Churning Out Morons
Derek Hunter
Sometimes, good parents raise bad kids. It is possible to do everything right and still churn out a real piece of post-digested food. It happens. It just doesn’t happen very often, which is why it’s pretty easy to look at the mutant mob and professional protester class currently staging mini-Beer Hall Putschs they hope will weave together into a one, large real opportunity for them to murder as many white people, normal people, straight people, non-obedient people and especially Jews as possible. Fascists always have a real problem with Jews.
So, where did all these bi-pedal piles of garbage on college campuses in blue states across the country come from? It’s really easy to just say “bad parents,” and it’s also true – most of their parents truly suck. They’re probably “down” with the cause, proud of their little Goebbels wannabes and aspiring Himmlers; happy to drop more than the average American annual salary on the further indoctrination of their drone. But these goose-stepping goon squad members wouldn’t be able to exist without an education system that keeps them ignorant of history and unable to think for themselves.
Progressivism – be it in the form of communism, socialism or fascism – requires an unquestioning, obedient population to thrive. Luckily, it is human nature to question things, either in a quest for knowledge or simple curiosity. That means most people’s minds are not fertile ground for stupidity. But some people’s heads are naturally full of fertilizer and not much else – a vacuum of intelligence in which these poisonous ideas take root and flourish.
It is not surprising that an American student would have no idea what the story and truth behind “From the river to the sea, Palestine will be free” is. Honestly, it’s not really an issue on this half of the planet. What is surprising, and a testament to just how effective the Democratic Party has been in indoctrinating kids, is how even after these protesters learn that it is a literal call for genocide against Jews created by terrorists and terrorist sympathizers, these morons still chant it.

Moral Anarchy: An Understatement
By E. Jeffrey Ludwig
A recent article published by AT ended with the following ominous sentences: “If the USA is unlikely to become once again an overwhelmingly Christian nation (and this seems to be the case), where will we turn for a new morality? Is it possible that we are now entering a century or so of moral anarchy?”
“Moral anarchy”? Is this an accurate term, or is it an understatement of the moral decline we are living through? Are terms like “moral degeneracy” and “moral collapse” better expressions of what we are facing?
Every perversion known to mankind is being embraced and gradually legalized. The idea that morality is created by each individual as he makes decisions throughout each day is a step beyond anarchy.
Since Lawrence v. Texas decriminalized homosexuality, we have been in a state of moral anarchy. Crude and licentious parades with many naked or almost naked men celebrating sodomy are considered by many to be positive and invigorating.

Was it all that Baby Proofing?
By Clarice Feldman
Watching the idiocy on college campuses this week and seeing all the explanations for protests in favor of murderous Hamas, two tweets seem particularly on point. There’s the great David Burge (Iowahawk), who calls these outbursts “Hamas slumber parties,” and says, “This is like staging a pro-Nazi lunch counter sit-in and getting mad that people won’t treat you like you’re a modern-day Rosa Parks.” He attributes protests for the Intifada and slogans reading “from the River to the Sea” by numbskulls who have admittedly no idea what they are protesting as the result of baby-proofing houses. “There is,” he says, “no better educational experience for a child than finding out what happens when you stick a butter knife into an electrical outlet.”
I think he’s right. Helicopter parents who shield kids from the consequences of their actions have raised a generation of reckless, entitled, ill-educated brats. (I’d add to his admonition the habit of so many parents to spend evenings “helping” their kids with their homework. My view is they either do it or don’t and, if they don’t, they can learn the consequences.)
Elon Musk, another of those whose sage observations I endorse, says:
“The axiomatic error undermining much of Western Civilization is “weak makes right”. If someone accepts, explicitly or implicitly, that the oppressed are always the good guys, then the natural conclusion is that the strong are the bad guys.”

The number of Chinese citizens coming across the southern border from Mexico has skyrocketed to the fastest-growing demographic of illegal immigrants in recent months, triggering serious concerns among lawmakers in Washington.
Tens of thousands of Chinese immigrants have been arrested by Border Patrol agents over the past year, far beyond the hundreds to a couple of thousand seen in recent history preceding the COVID-19 pandemic, according to Customs and Border Protection data. In 2022, fewer than 2,000 Chinese people were stopped at the southern boundary.
In the first half of fiscal 2024 (from October 2023 to March 2024), Border Patrol agents on the U.S.-Mexico border caught 24,214 Chinese illegal immigrants who had come into the country by walking through unfenced areas. The figure is more than the record-high 24,048 Chinese immigrants arrested in all of 2023.

Immigration/Border / House Committee Aims to Stop Illegal Aliens from Slanting Congressional Apportionment

The House Committee on Oversight and Accountability recently approved Congressmen Chuck Edwards’ (R-N.C.) and Warren Davidson’s (R-Ohio) H.R. 7109, the Equal Representation Act. H.R. 7109 would reinstate a citizenship question on the decennial census and only allow United States citizens to count towards determining the number of congressional seats – which also allocates Electoral College votes for presidential elections. The bill was advanced by a vote of 22-20, with every Democrat voting against it.
During the Oversight Committee’s markup, Republican members emphasized the commonsense purpose of the bill, while Democrats argued fervently that it was partisan, and moved the country backwards. Congressman Byron Donalds (R-Fla.) said, “The only people who should be able to make political decisions within the framework of a representative government are the citizens of that government of that nation…that’s not xenophobic, that’s common-sense.” In contrast, Democrats on the committee repeatedly called the bill a shameful attack on illegal aliens. Congressman Greg Casar (D-Texas) claimed that, “You have to count everyone for representation, everyone deserves representation.” And Congressman Robert Garcia (D-Calif.) stated, “I think it’s really shameful that we have this effort…It certainly in my opinion is a direct attack especially on undocumented people in this country.”
While illegal aliens are not allowed to vote in federal elections, a population spike in some states due to illegal immigration could impact congressional district and Electoral College apportionments. According to a 2023 FAIR analysis of Census Bureau data, at least 16.8 million illegal aliens now reside in the United States. That figure represents an increase of at least 2.3 million aliens since President Biden took office in January 2021. The spike in the illegal alien population ties together with new data from the Census Bureau’s American Community Survey (ACS) showing that the nation’s broader foreign-born population has also exploded, increasing 15.6 percent since 2010. That data reveals that the foreign-born population has now reached 13.9 percent (46.2 million) of the total U.S. population, up from 12.9 percent (40 million) in 2010.
