Columbia Protestors Clarify They Only Want Death To America After America Is Done Paying Their Student Loans NEW YORK, NY — 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.

~~~~~~~~ Winning: DeSantis Unveils Massive Circus Cannon That Will Launch Pro-Hamas Protestors All The Way To Gaza [...] "We can't sit by while our state is overrun with antisemites," Gov. DeSantis told reporters. "For this reason, I have authorized the use of a comically oversized circus cannon, you know the ones, to shoot all pro-Hamas protestors in Florida back over the Gaza.

Abraham Pretty Sure This Feud Between Ishmael And Isaac Will Blow Over Soon [...] The revered patriarch brushed off concerns about the ongoing conflict between his sons and said he was confident that this would only be a temporary squabble and would not linger into the future. "I don't think it will be a long-term thing," Abraham said of the friction. "They're half-brothers, and these types of family fights pop up from time to time. It's pretty common, I think. I mean, it's not like it's something that's going to be carried on by their descendants and remain an issue for thousands of years. That'd be ridiculous."

Agreed. Comments? ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Trump Should Ignore Gag Order [...] The idea that Trump spouting off about the trial or any of the witnesses is intimidation is absurd, and everybody knows it. If a witness is likely to be concerned about retaliation--none of them are, because they are rushing to testify--they wouldn't have agreed to testify against a former president. They are all angling to peddle books, not quivering in fear. [...] https://hotair.com/david-strom/2024/04/23/trump-should-ignore-gag-order-n3787054

Indeed amazing. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Amazingly, Harvard Suspends Pro-Hamas Student Group My apologies if this comes off sounding a bit on the crude side, but has someone in the administration at Harvard finally started to "grow a pair?" Following months of protests and disruptions, Harvard finally suspended the student group Harvard Undergraduate Palestine Solidarity Committee (PSC). The same group had already been placed on probation for their ongoing antics, but it never seemed to slow them down. In a letter to the group, the administration further warned them that if they continued to operate or inappropriately use campus spaces, the members would face expulsion and be banished from Harvard Yard.

This and other bizarre legal protocols, including those underlying the current Trump trial, are costing millions of dollars in appeals, courtroom/lawyer time, etc. that wouldn't need to be spent in a more sensible environment.

Columbia University Students Reject A Two-Campus Solution [...] Students continued to gather in large groups and chant threatening anti-Israel phrases as school leaders and other experts searched for potential ways to solve the crisis. A representative of the university's "Gaza Solidarity Encampment" said there would be no peaceful two-campus solution agreement. "We will not tolerate the existence of Jewish people on campus," said Darren Polk on behalf of the protesting students inside the encampment. "People keep trying to come up with ‘peaceful ways' to end this conflict, but there's only one way we envision this coming to a conclusion, which is all the Jews being dead." "Also, America. America should be dead too." [...] https://babylonbee.com/news/columbia-university-students-reject-a-two-campus-solution

NYC Man Convicted Over Gunsmithing Hobby After Judge Says 2nd Amendment 'Doesn't Exist in This Courtroom' A Brooklyn man has been convicted of 13 weapons charges after having been arrested and charged in 2022 for building his own firearms. Dexter Taylor's ordeal could become a landmark Second Amendment case in light of the Bruen ruling handed down in the same year. The jury found Taylor guilty of second-degree criminal possession of a loaded weapon, four counts of third-degree criminal possession of a weapon, five counts of criminal possession of a firearm, second-degree criminal possession of five or more firearms, unlawful possession of pistol ammunition, violation of certificate of registration, prohibition on unfinished frames or receivers. Two lesser charges, including third-degree criminal possession of three or more firearms and third-degree possession of a weapon, were not voted on. Taylor, a 52-year-old New York native and a software engineer, discovered the world of gunsmithing years ago. He decided to take it up as a hobby and possibly turn it into a business later. However, when a joint ATF/NYPD task force discovered he was legally buying parts from various companies, they opened up an investigation that led to a SWAT raid and arrest.

Notice that these riots are occurring almost exclusively in "blue" states? ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Chaotic Scene As NYPD Descends Upon NYU in Riot Gear, Arrests Dozens of Pro-Hamas Extremists It's another night in New York City, and these days, that means it's another evening of radical pro-Hamas protesters taking over the campuses of once-proud institutions like Columbia University and NYU. Although folks like Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez (D-NY) will try to tell you that the demonstrations are oh-so-peaceful, and President Joe Biden will try to claim that there are good people on both sides of the issue, the truth of the matter is that many of these activists are loudly pledging their allegiance to Hamas terrorism, condemning America, and shouting their hatred of Jews.

Now It's UCLA Med School That Has a Plagiarism Scandal DEI = Didn't Earn It. Whoever came up with that deserves to be memorialized in the Oxford English Dictionary. The past few months have made to clear to all who can admit it that DEI is just a new term for racial discrimination and that this racial discrimination requires hiring the incompetent in order to fill ideologically motivated quotas. The latest example of this is the case of UCLA Medical School's DEI director, who is tasked with teaching its medical students to "do what's right." The right thing to do, apparently, is steal from more competent people to get ahead. [...] https://hotair.com/david-strom/2024/04/22/now-its-ucla-med-school-that-has-a-plagiarism-scandal-n3786986

Depending on your consulate (nothing in your post history thus indicates, nor do you have a timeline), you can add "front-loading" material along with satisfying the eventual RFE. This material would further establish the bona fide nature of your relationship. You would put the RFE page on top, the material that satisfies it just below, add a page that says "Extra material for benefit of the consulate," and the extra material. If you won't be dealing with a tough consulate, you can minimize the extra material.
