Media Panic that Pro-Hamas Campus Protests May Hurt Biden, 'Like 1968'
After weeks of defending pro-hams campus protests, the media are now panicking that those same protests might hurt biden’s re-election chances. In the past week, a slew of political commentators have written articles comparing the current situation on college campuses to the anti-war protests of 1968, and warning that a summer of radical leftism may clinch the 2024 election for Donald Trump.…
Jacqui Drops Hammer, Asks WH About Israel Support, GWU Encampment
In case you missed it, Monday’s White House press briefing was dominated by questions about Hamas supposedly agreeing to a ceasefire deal that, as we would quickly find out, was one they more or less concocted on their own (as opposed to one backed by Egypt, Israel, Qatar, and the U.S.), so Fox’s Jacqui Heinrich made a point to wonder whether the Biden regime still wants Israel to win the war…
ICYMI: Hamill Derails WH Briefing, Doocy Battles KJP on Alma Mater
Friday’s White House press briefing began with a distinct 2016 vibe as the Biden administration demanded it be taken seriously on the reelection front with Star Wars actor Mark Hamill surprising reporters ahead of May 4 (aka May the Fourth Be With You!) and a few dutifully complied by asking him questions despite the fact that, as we’d later learn, one hasn’t seen any of the movies. …

Olbermann RAGES on Twitter Against Peggy Noonan's Columbia Column
Wall Street Journal columnist Peggy Noonan infuriated leftists on Twitter this weekend with a column about her visit to the Columbia University campus to observe the pro-Hamas protests and attempt to interview some young protesters.

NYT's Bruni Blames Trump, Mike Johnson for Escalation at Columbia
On Tuesday's Erin Burnett OutFront, New York Times columnist Frank Bruni made a lame effort to blame Republicans Donald Trump and House Speaker Mike Johnson for the escalation by far-left anti-Israel protesters at Columbia University that included taking over and occupying an academic building.
CBS Fawns Over Climate Thugs Blocking Traffic, Harassing Conservatives
Like being able to visit museums without climate freaks throwing soup on world-renowned paintings? Looking to enjoy a night out at a gala? Need a peaceful commute without anyone blocking the road? If the answer to any of these questions is no, CBS Mornings all but said no way, Jose. On Thursday, they ran a lengthy puff piece fawning over Climate Defiance and even followed them as they…
No, Demonstrations Today Not Like the 1960s
The current demonstrations on college campuses against Israel remind some of the unrest on college campuses during the 1960s. But the comparison is not a good one. The unrest of the 1960s was defined by the war in Vietnam and by the Civil Rights Movement. Both had practical, personal impact on young Americans in their own country. American soldiers were fighting and dying in Vietnam. There was…
Doocy, Gutierrez Grill Inept KJP on Biden Dodging Pro-Hamas Thugs
Before being shamed into speaking on-camera Thursday to the American people about the dangerous anti-Semitic hooligans who’ve thrown college campus into chaos, Wednesday’s White House press briefing was dominated by numerous reporters — including Fox’s Peter Doocy, Real Clear Politics’s Philip Wegmann, and even NBC’s Gabe Gutierrez — pressing the ever-inept Karine Jean-Pierre on why Biden hasn…

CNN: ‘Escalation’ by Police Disrupted ‘Peaceful’ (Pro-Hamas) Students
During a rare moment Tuesday when CNN wasn’t obsessing over the first Trump trial, correspondent Dianne Gallagher used a live shot from the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill to fret police caused “a very intense escalation” with pro-Hamas students, whom she said were merely holding a “rally and silent vigil” with “dancing and chanting” amid their tent cities.
Lessons From Other Campus Protests
The year was 1966 and Ronald Reagan was running for governor of California. A major part of his platform was to “clean up the mess at Berkeley” and other college campuses throughout the state that were experiencing protests and strikes over issues that included the military draft, civil rights and “women’s issues.” While not on a scale of the pro-Hamas, anti-Israel, anti-America and Jewish…
Scarborough Backtracks: I Was Only Mocking 'White Woke Pampered' Kids
On Morning Joe, the day after he had harshly criticized pro-Hamas campus protesters and the administrators who have failed to discipline them, Joe Scarborough backtracks, saying he was only speaking of "white, woke, pampered elitists." Scarborough did so after receiving criticism from some viewers over his previous remarks.
Scarborough: Failure To Put Down Campus Protests Could Elect Trump!
On Morning Joe, Joe Scarborough condemns weak college administrators for their failure to put down pro-Hamas campus protests. He warns that, just as protests in the 1960s led to the election of Richard Nixon, the current protests could lead to the election of Donald Trump, which may be "the last election in American history."
