3 May: @Powerfulmindx: This is a must must must watch Summer Soldiers “The #students today have picked up the baton… they are doing that which you and I were demanding of others back in the day, back trying to stop the #Iraq War. They are , on their own volition, stepping up to the battle line.They are doing Battle, and they are paying the price. These aren’t weekend warriors that aren’t summer soldiers. These are committed protesters for a cause that they deeply believe in. At this time, at this moment in history, this is where those #Vietnam War protesters, those failed protesters of the #Iraqi war, need to rise up and rally. Because this is a just cause. This is a cause worthy of their sentiment, of their passion of their sweat and even of their blood . And yet they are silent. Not just silent, George. You are right. They are on the other side. These are traitors. These are treasonous beings.These are people who mean nothing…” With Scott Ritter @RealScottRitter American author, former United States Marine Corps intelligence officer, former United Nations Special Commission (UNSCOM) and George Galloway @georgegalloway Member of Parliament of the United Kingdom

8 May: Ford Fischer@FordFischer: Police cleared the pro-Palestine encampment at George Washington University early this morning in a pre-dawn raid, arresting dozens and apparently deploying pepper spray. “F— the pigs!” yelled activists as police swarmed a wide perimeter around the area. This comes just hours before Mayor Bowser is set to testify before Congress. As the sun rose near George Washington University, the activist who were not arrested regrouped. Organizers recommended those who the police had pepper-sprayed go home, and others go to jail support for their detained comrades. Near the police line, some activists vocally expressed frustration at media members for quoting police claiming the demonstration had gotten more “volatile – that’s the word the police used.” “That’s lies!” “Cops lie!” “They pepper sprayed students!”

1 May: Mayor Eric Adams of NYC asserts that protests at CCNY and Columbia have been hijacked by “outside agitators” affiliated with TERRORIST GROUPS, and a substantial number of those arrested were NOT students. One of the “professional outside agitator” was married to someone who was arrested for terrortism. “It’s NOT singular, it’s PLURAL, several organizations and groups.. outside agitators were on their campus… I was brief by the Intelligence Division and they were able to identify individuals all who were not students organizations but were professional agitators.”3 May: Tulsi Gabbard @TulsiGabbard What’s happening on our campuses is the result of our leaders’ failure to take on and defeat radical Islamism on the ideological battlefield. In my book, I detail how Islamism is the greatest threat to our free country, our freedom, peace and civilization.Michael Tracey@mtracey: John Fetterman says he can’t figure out what the campus protesters are even protesting about. Just a huge mystery to him. He also accuses “Jewish Voice for Peace” of being “paid agitators.” Interesting that the “most vocal” pro-Israel Democratic Senator is literally brain damaged
2 May: Trump phoned into Hannity’s show last night to declare “we have to stop the anti-Semitism that’s just pervading our country right now.” He says the US needs to get the “courage” to support Israel even more unreservedly. “I think Biden is not on the side of Israel,” Trump posits3 May: Sen.

5 May: Michael Tracey@mtracey on X: This week Rep. Tom Emmer (R-MN), the House GOP Whip, seethed that US college students are exuding the worst bigotry against Jews since Nazi Germany in the 1930s.

The alleged ‘evidence’ of violence – defamation of Pro-Palestinian students
Pencils, books, laptops, those are the tools of students and what you expect to find on a college campus. But here’s what the NYPD found in Hamilton Hall at Columbia University after we were able to arrest the protestors and agitators for commandeering and barricading themselves inside the building. Gas masks, ear plugs, helmets, goggles, tape, hammers, knives, ropes, and a book on TERRORISM. These are not the tools of students protesting, these are the tools of agitators, of people who were working on something nefarious. Thankfully, your NYPD was able to prevent whatever they were planning and stop them before they could do it. Continue to peacefully and lawfully protest; but know that if you engage in illegal conduct, the NYPD will hold you responsible and hold you accountable—someone has to.
Chief John Chell, NYPD Chief of Patrol. has been posting extremely hateful tweets on X.6 May: Eric Adams, the mayor of America’s largest city, just went on TV and called for “terminating” college students based on their political views. Adams is a Democrat.
NYPD Chief of Patrol@NYPDChiefPatrol on X: Good evening, from NYC to Chicago and I’m sure for a few other cities, Who is funding this? What is happening? There is an unknown entity who is radicalizing our vulnerable students. Taking advantage of their young minds. As parents and Americans we must demand some answers! I can’t speak for the rest of America, but in NYC we won’t rest until we find out! We will broadcast what we see and find. We will use the might of our Intelligence Bureau and our Federal partners to quite simply connect the dots. Follow the money!
6 May: Michael Tracey@mtracey: This is hilarious. NYPD “Top Brass” share their highly disturbing findings with Newsmax.
