Stewart on Columbia: Trump Doesn't 'Give a F*** About Free Speech'
Columbia University’s own task force investigating anti-Semitism issued a 90-page report chronicling how threats and harassment towards Jewish students have increased since October 7 and how the school failed to respond appropriately.

Burnett Plays Dumb On Latest Anti-Semitic Student To Face Deportation
Cornell grad student Momodou Taal is the latest example of the Trump Administration revoking student visas in light of the holder’s anti-Semitism and anti-Americanism.

USEFUL IDIOCY: NBC News Covers for Hamas-Linked Georgetown Academic
The media continue to fall over themselves in order to protect the reputations of suspected jihadists on our college campuses, as they face deportation pursuant to current immigration law.

The Civil War Among Democrats
Chuck Schumer is running scared from his own party. He can’t even hit the road to promote his new book, “Antisemitism in America: A Warning,” for fear of protests. The Senate minority leader had to postpone his publicity tour on account of what a spokeswoman calls “security concerns.” Progressive Democrats, furious Schumer passed a Republican spending bill to avoid a government shutdown, are…

ICYMI: CBS’s Grilling of Chuck Schumer Was Really Lefty Group Therapy
For those that haven’t seen the clips floating out on social media, Senate Minority Leader Chuck Schumer (D-NY) still made time Tuesday for CBS Mornings despite having largely cancelled the rest of the book tour for his publication on anti-Semitism due to alleged security concerns, but the real reason was clear in this 12-minute-plus CBS sit-down as the three co-hosts voiced the left’…

Networks Use End of Gaza Ceasefire to Signal They Still Trust Hamas
During the early hours Tuesday in the Middle East, Israel resumed its pummeling of Hamas targets after Hamas rejected one proposal after another to continue peace talks and release more hostages they kidnapped on October 7, 2023.

Oliver Claims If Hamas Supporter Says He Isn't Anti-Semitic, He Isn't
HBO’s John Oliver thinks Republicans are racists, and the fact that Republicans would vehemently reject the label doesn’t matter to him. However, on Sunday’s Last Week Tonight, Oliver tried to claim that former Columbia University student and pro-Hamas protest leader Mahmoud Khalil isn’t anti-Semitic because Khalil claims he’s not and therefore the efforts to deport him are an attempt…

Yes, Non-Citizen Terror Supporters Should Leave
It should go without saying, but America does not need more Hamas sympathizers. Yet this simple truth seems to confound a wide variety of commentators across the political spectrum. This week, the White House announced that Immigration and Customs Enforcement would be deporting an apparently green card-holding Columbia University graduate student named Mahmoud Khalil. Khalil came to the United…

We regret to inform you that, once again, CBS’s Margaret Brennan has attempted to stump Secretary of State Marco Rubio on matters of free speech. And, once again, she has been absolutely wrecked for her troubles.

Stein Tries To Claim Conservatives Are Hypocrites On College Speech
MSNBC’s Sam Stein traveled over to HBO and Real Time with Bill Maher on Friday to express his disappointment in conservatives for not defending Mahmoud Khalil as he faces deportation for his role in pro-Hamas demonstrations at Columbia University. As Stein tells it, people who made such a big deal about cancel culture on campus need to stand up and claim, “This is chilling.”

NBC: Visa Overstayer Arrest a 'Pro-Palestinian Protests' 'Crackdown'
The three broadcast networks of ABC, NBC, and CBS took different approaches to the news that more Columbia University students have been arrested, but none of them were good. NBC portrayed visa enforcement as a “crackdown on pro-Palestinian protests,” while CBS ignored the reason for the arrest, and ABC ignored her previous protest-related arrest and, like the others, that this is not the…

Barron-Lopez: If Trump Deports Hamas Supporter, He Can Deport Anyone
PBS News Hour White House correspondent Laura Barron-Lopez tried to claim on Thursday that if the Trump Administration is able to successfully deport pro-Hamas Columbia University student protest leader Mahmoud Khalil, it can deport any legal immigrant simply for disagreeing with them.
