Steven Kruiser writes that it's the "adults" at the Failure Factories formerly known as elite colleges who are to blame for their students' sick worldview.
As evidence, he cites this from Rick Moran:
The most serious confrontations between police and protesters did not feature idealistic, earnest 19- and 20-year-olds, but rather 40- and 50-something faculty members who acted like a bunch of spoiled brats.
"The faculty were -- from what I personally observed, and spoke to lieutenants and captains out there -- the most aggressive towards the police," NYPD Deputy Commissioner of Operations Kaz Daughtry told Fox 5. "They would not move, they would not let go."
Reliving the glories of their youth, no doubt. That and showing off for the kids, trying to be role models, and setting an example of lawbreaking.
"I think parents have an expectation that when they send their kids to college the faculty and their professors will be teaching and not protesting," said Tarik Sheppard, NYPD Deputy Commissioner of Public Information. "It was shocking to see the faculty out there."
And this from Robert Spencer:
The New York Post on Thursday published video of a man wearing a kippah and with an Israeli flag draped over his shoulders passing by a crowd of protesters at Columbia. One young man shouted at him, "Keep it moving, you Zionist pig!" A few moments later, the man with the Israeli flag, responding to something that was said to him, asks, "Hamas is okay?" To that, a woman with a keffiyeh over her head and covering her mouth bangs on a metal crowd-control barrier and shouts furiously, "We are Hamas!"
Another supporter of Israel asks her, "You're what? You're Hamas?" as she keeps banging on the barrier. She responds while continuing to bang on the barrier, "Yes, we're all Hamas, pig!" Another protester adds, "Long live Hamas!"
It's time to start cultivating some healthy intolerance.
David Strom remembers that Democrats all supported "protests" outside of Supreme Court Justices' homes, even after a transgender attempted to murder Bret Kavanaugh.
But if you protest outside Chuck Schumer's house, the cops swoop in to make sure the Conscience of the Senate is undisturbed.
Democrats love equity, because it means choosing which rules apply to which people.
For years, the Democrats have celebrated protesters harassing conservatives, using bullhorns outside conservative homes at all hours of the night. They encourage people to drive Republicans out of the public square. They piously proclaim that free speech means you can harass any Republican in any manner you like. Remember those protesters outside Amy Comey Barrett's and Brett Kavanaugh's houses?
No biggie.
But do the same to Chuck Schumer? You get arrested. He is the good guy, and he deserves peace and quiet.
The old diaper-wearing cocksucker Biden encourages violence against Trump. I've been repeatedly told that this behavior threatens the very foundations of our precious democracy.
And don't forget this:
Meanwhile, a Democrat is proposing to strip Trump of Secret Service protection if Biden's Stasi jails him -- you know, so that he can be murdered in prison.
Remember -- they're Saving Democracy.
Enter a key player in the House January 6 investigation. That's the committee put together by then-Speaker Nancy Pelosi that consisted of only Democrats and their fellow travelers, Reps. Liz Cheney and Adam Kinzinger. Cheney was a co-chair with Rep. Bennie Thompson (D-MS) and the two of them were thick as thieves. They both took the mission of "get Trump" very seriously. Cheney thought she might parlay the exercise into a presidential run. Dream on, Liz.
New legislation was put forward on Friday by Thompson. He claims he wants to make sure that Trump doesn't get special treatment if he is convicted and sentenced. He wants to address the question of Secret Service protection ahead of time so a procedure will be in place. Thompson is the ranking Democrat on the House Homeland Security Committee.
"It is regrettable that it has come to this, but this previously unthought-of scenario could become our reality," the Mississippi lawmaker said. "Therefore, it is necessary for us to be prepared and update the law so the American people can be assured that protective status does not translate into special treatment -- and that those who are sentenced to prison will indeed serve the time required of them."
Thompson wants to be able to send a message that Trump is on his own. Look at the name of the bill - Denying Infinite Security and Government Resources Allocated toward Convicted and Extremely Dishonorable Former Protectees Act -- or the DISGRACED Former Protectees Act. DISGRACED. Unbelievable.
Meanwhile, Trump announced he supports Mike Johnson.
From Newsmax:
Speaking with radio host John Fredericks on Monday, after spending the day in a Manhattan courtroom, Trump said "I stand with the speaker." ...
"Well, look, we have a majority of one, OK?" Trump told Fredericks, referring to the GOP majority in the House.

"It's not like he can go and do whatever he wants to do. I think he's a very good person. You know, he stood very strongly with me on NATO when I said NATO has to pay up ... I think he's trying very hard."
Meanwhile, Mitch McConnell argues that $61 billion for Ukraine isn't really a lot of money.
"So put in that context, it's not a whole lot of money for us, but it's a very significant step for them because it gives them the more sophisticated weapons they need to hold the Russians at bay," McConnell said on Fox News's America's Newsroom.
McConnell added in the Wednesday interview that by providing this financial aid, the U.S. is helping Ukraine without putting any of its personnel at risk. He also said the aid would degrade the military of Russia, which he called one of the U.S.'s biggest opponents.
The FBI has finally gotten around to serving subpoenas on the corrupt gangster hoe "super mayor" of Dolton, Illinois.
The FBI on Friday served subpoenas in the Chicago suburb where controversial Mayor Tiffany Henyard has faced accusations of corruption, Fox 32 Chicago reports.
Henyard, the self-described "supermayor" of Dolton, and Thornton Township Supervisor, has recently been dubbed the "worst mayor in America" by critics after being accused of misdeeds ranging from weaponizing police raids to spending taxpayer money on luxuries in Las Vegas. Most recently, the scandal-ridden mayor has also come under fire for an alleged sexual assault by one of her allies during the Vegas trip, where the alleged victim claims to have been fired after speaking out.
On Friday, four agents from the FBI paid a visit to Dolton Village Hall at around 2:30 p.m. where they served two federal subpoenas, according to Fox 32.
The FBI is reportedly probing misconduct allegations regarding Dolton, Illinois Mayor Tiffany Henyard after a local business owner claimed his business was punished for refusing to donate to her event.
The first one was for employment records, personnel files, and disciplinary reports for 25 Dolton employees, including three police officers and Keith Freeman, who is the village administrator and Henyard's top aide. Freeman was charged with bankruptcy fraud on Monday.
The second subpoena was served specifically for Freeman, asking for records of all companies associated with him and possible ties to the village.
"The House of Cards are collapsing," Burt Odelson, who serves as the Legislative Counsel for the Village of Dolton Board of Trustees., tells Fox 32. "I think the government is taking action."
The FBI did not provide any more information pertaining to the subpoenas and Henyard herself was not served.
In February, it was reported that the FBI was investigating the mayor, as six individuals had reportedly spoken to the agency about her alleged misconduct, including "business owners, a former village employee and one or more public officials."
Sydney Sweeney is feeling her oats.
Sweeney posted a carousel of images to Instagram showcasing her trip to Mexico, and she sent a clear message to her haters in one of them. The star was featured wearing a sweatshirt that read, "Sorry I have great tits," in a very 'sorry, not sorry' moment. The shirt's unique message can directly or indirectly be seen as a clap-back at Hollywood producer Carol Baum, who slammed Sweeney days prior, saying, "she's not pretty. She can't act," according to Daily Mail.
