Nauseating. ~~~~~~~~~~~ Accompanied by 2 vice principals, Berkeley public school students march to Jewish Community Center and chant slogans at preschoolers inside Just as Hamas targeted young children, even babies, for unthinkable torture and death, pro-Hamas demonstrators in Berkeley targeted a Jewish Community Center (NOT an Israeli facility) with preschool students in class as they chanted slogans through a bullhorn and marched. Even worse, the students who walked out were reportedly accompanied by two vice principals from the Martin Luther King Jr. Middle School as they intimidated the innocent toddlers, guilty solely of being Jewish.

Analysis tinged with military strategy. Comments? ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ How To Neutralize The Campus Communists [...] Remember that all this protest [garbage] is an information operation, not a kinetic one. That means they are trying to effect change by affecting us and making us do what they want. They sure can't force us to do anything. Even when they do damage, the message is the effect, not the damage. They want to demonstrate that the authorities have no power, that their faction can do as it pleases, but also that they are victims of the fascist regime. It's amusing to see liberal wine women administrators at the University of College painted as Franco or Pinochet, but that's part of the scam. The commies are both victims and victors simultaneously – they embrace the identity they need to sway the weak-minded into surrender or submission. Our minds are the targets, and sadly, too many Americans are vulnerable to this manipulation. Why? First, [...] https://townhall.com/columnists/kurtschlichter/2024/05/13/how-to-neutralize-the-campus-communists-n2638943

OPINION: Republicans Need to Explain That President Biden Isn't Simply Incompetent; He's a Malicious Liar [...] If we sat here in an attempt to fact-check everything that comes from an interview with President Biden, it would be an exercise in futility. Time constraints alone would make it so. But the fact is these aren't 'gaffes' as the media would have you believe. They aren't the mis-rememberings of a feeble-minded old man. They are lies. They are intentional. And they are vicious.

A little embarrassing for Baby Fidel, eh. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ No Indigenous Children's Remains Found After $8 Million Search in Canada This has been a scandal in Canada for years, with Prime Minister Justin Trudeau fully buying in and wringing his hands over the whole thing. The horror was the discovery of hundreds of unmarked indigenous children's graves at a school site. However, after burning $8 million (and dozens of Christian churches), no remains have been found.

What awful planning. Heads should roll. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Howard University Cancels Graduation MID-CEREMONY in Chaotic Scene Nope, it's not what you think. It wasn't pro-Hamas protesters—this time. We've seen anti-Israel protests at several graduations, and we've seen commencement ceremonies canceled altogether as some universities bent their knee to the demonstrators—but we haven't seen this before. A graduation ceremony for nursing students at Howard University in Washington D.C. was canceled right in the middle of the keynote address Thursday [...] https://redstate.com/bobhoge/2024/05/12/howard-university-cancels-graduation-mid-ceremony-in-chaotic-scene-n2174116

Every word here by Jonathan Turley makes sense. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ 'I see dead people' — Alvin Bragg's case against Trump goes paranormal [...] The Daniels testimony will live in infamy in the annals of criminal justice. For two days, she offered lurid and completely irrelevant details whose only possible purpose was to humiliate Trump. Admitting that she was coached by the prosecution in her testimony, it was clear that she was there not to win a case but to win an election. Judge Juan Merchan allowed this legal burlesque to unfold in his courtroom, later blaming defense counsel who had vociferously objected to her appearance and the scope of the examination. The cross examination was devastating. It shattered her laughable claim that she had not really been seeking money in shaking Trump down for a non-disclosure agreement, a claim contradicted by her own former lawyer. Daniels also revealed that she had spoken with the dead, and that a ghost had once held her boyfriend under water in a bathtub. She also said that she lived in a haunted house, only to discover later that the spirit haunting it was actually a large possum.

This has been a mystery from the start. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~` The Biden hostage betrayal Does President Joe Biden even know that Hamas is holding five American hostages? Does anybody in his administration care? Do the administration's water carriers in the liberal media care, either? One would think not, judging by the rarity of mentions of this crisis by the president, his spokespeople, or the news media. The absence of focused public concern is inexcusable. Even more inexcusable, unless there are covert operations in the offing, is the lack of action, whether diplomatic or by military special forces, to try to return U.S. citizens to safety and freedom.

Why are you interviewing in Paris? Paris is typically not a high-stress consulate for K-1 interviews, but if you're from a third country, there may be a little extra scrutiny. However, from what you say, you have a lot of "face time" with your fiancé, and that's the chief strong point. If your fiancé can't enter the consulate, take his U.S. passport inside with you to show the consul. This can't hurt and may help. Good luck, and be sure to report the outcome and details.

Happy Mother's Day to all here (to whom it applies).

Just in time for Sunday, here's another of our highly effective jokes as our Official Weekly VAWA-Thread Joke: ==================================================== THE POPE'S ADVICE Two beggars were sitting side by side on a street in Rome, Italy. One had a Cross in front of him; the other one was holding the Star of David. Many people went by, looked at both beggars, and put money only into the hat of the beggar who sat behind the Cross. The Pope came by. He stopped to watch the throngs of people giving money to the beggar who held the Cross while none gave to the beggar holding the Star of David. He felt sorry for him. The Pope approached the beggar who had the Star of David and said, "My poor fellow, don't you understand? This is a Catholic country; this city is the seat of Catholicism. People aren't going to give you money if you sit there with a Star of David in front of you, especially when you're sitting beside a beggar who is holding a Cross. In fact, they would probably give more money to him just out of spite!" The beggar with the Star of David listened to the Pope, smiled, turned to the beggar with the Cross, and said: "Moishe, would you look who's trying to teach the Goldstein brothers about marketing?"

And Happy Mother's Day to all here. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ 'Why Would I Get My Wife A Mother's Day Gift, She's Not My Mom,' Says Dead Man BEAUFORT, SC — Local soon-to-be-deceased man Cade Rollins asked a friend today why on earth he should buy his wife a Mother's Day present when she isn't his mom. "Our three children can do something for her. She's their mom, not mine," explained Rollins, who now had 23 hours to live. "It would be totally illogical for me to do something."

Zing! One of the best ever. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ With Biden Stalling, Israel Announces They Will Just Get American Weapons From Taliban TEL AVIV — With Biden delaying shipments of U.S. weaponry, Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu announced today they will just obtain it from the Taliban instead.

"Honestly, the transaction and shipping will be way more efficient than dealing with the American government."

San Francisco to Hand Out Free Shots of Vodka to Homeless Alcoholics [...] San Francisco is always trying to help, such as through its needle exchange program to provide homeless drug addicts with clean needles.

The best plan the city could come up with is to give homeless alcoholics shots of vodka for the health.

Fulton County Missing More Than 380,000 Ballot Images From Election Day [...] There's no questioning the 2020 election. It just isn't done. If you think there were some sketchy situations, you were deemed an "election denier" and banned from Jake Tapper's show (which often features Stacey Abrams as a guest). Fulton County, Georgia — where District Attorney Fani Willis calls home — is still investigating that flawless election, and the Georgia Election Board was just informed that more than 380,000 ballot images from the election are "not available."
