(Richard: The following article is about the campus protests against Veterans Day, I want to tell people that this is how the anti-war protests of the 60s started, the protesters were not a majority on any University but were allowed to “express” their anger by shutting down the schools. While I don’t expect the anti Veterans Day protests to take off like the anti-war protests we can expect the radical leftist agitators embedded among the students to continue protesting various things until they find one that resonates with the leftist in the nations. Once this happens we will see the same message at all protests with the agitators moving from school to school to further their attacks on freedom.)
Columbia University Protesters Expose Anti-American Views-Attempt to ‘Reclaim’ Veterans Day as ‘Martyrs Day’ to Honor Terrorists

Columbia University has been a hotbed for pro-terrorist, anti-semitic protests following the Hamas attack on Israel on October 7.
During the protests, the University was forced to cancel in-person classes because the campus was simply too unsafe for Jewish students, and Rabbinical leaders warned Jewish students to stay home amid the ongoing “extreme antisemitism and anarchy.”
While protesters chanted for Hamas, a group stormed Hamilton Hall, smashing windows and barricading doors.
It seems the radical protesters even had the support of some administrators. Three Columbia deans exchanged disparaging text messages that the university president said “touched on ancient antisemitic tropes” during a forum about Jewish issues in May.
Not satisfied with just cheerleading for terrorists, students took to the campus to insult America’s veterans.
While the nation spent Monday honoring and thanking our heroes on Veterans Day, a group of Columbia students coopted the sacred day to rebrand and “reclaim” the day as “Martyrs Day.”
Columbia University Apartheid Divest (CUAD) wrote on Instagram, “We are reclaiming Veterans Day for our martyrs as we refuse to honor the US War Machine. Come read a martyr’s story and plant a poppy in their memory. When the Zionist entity is working to destroy a people, to remember is to resist.”
“We must center the people who we are fighting for, and remember what we are pushing for: divestment at Columbia, and the total liberation of Palestinians. Columbia is complicit in the deaths of these martyrs through the endeavors it has invested its endowment in. Come learn, grieve, and be pushed to action.”
“In the face of a genocide, it is easy to move with urgency, but we must make sure to be intentional in our organizing. Join us as we center the very real and full lives of Palestinians (and others) being sieged and killed by the Zionist entity.”
“Eternal glory to all the martyrs.”
CUAD continued, “Veterans Day is an American holiday to honor the patriotism, love of country, and sacrifice of veterans.”
“We reject this holiday and refuse to celebrate it. The American war machine should not be honored for the horrors unleashed on others.”
“Instead we will celebrate Martyrs Day in honor of those martyred by the Israel-US war machine — a day to honor the patriotism, love of country, and sacrifice of those martyrs,” the group declared.

The protest did not go unanswered.
According to The New York Post, a group of approximately 30 Columbia students and student vets “gathered and planted American flags in the exact spot the so-called “Martyrs Day” demonstration was scheduled to take place an hour later.”

The Soviet-curated “antiwar” movement has a long half-life.
During the ‘60s students won deferments from military service: a golden opportunity for draft dodgers. Interest-free federal loans for those who chose a career in teaching brought in a generation of academics unfit both intellectually and temperamentally.
They were scary politicians: Noam Chomsky and Cornell West were given a platform that would’ve aroused Trotsky’s corpse.
Today’s “movers and shakers”, those who’ve saturated the MUG (Media, University, Government) are products of that unsavory brew. From the Ivies to inner-city preschoolers we’ve bred degenerates.
Once upon a time the German university system set the standard for higher education. It took more than a couple of decades till toxic indoctrination kicked in, and then they were ground to dust together with their grand civilization.
Now it’s time for us to Move On – and trash the “dot.org”.
-Ron Lauder stopped BIG money to Columbia in 2019.
-Robert Kraft pulled out in April.
-Mort Zuckerman (-$200 M), July.
And that’s just Columbia.

The leftist sycophants want to go back to the communist/socialist era when Israel was an economic basket-case run by an all-powerful clique. Their actionable treasonous maneuvers are unlikely to be declassified before today’s Israeli orphans are buried by their own grandchildren.

London, England, Archbishop of Canterbury, Justin Welby, leader of 85 million Anglicans worldwide, resigns days after a report found he had taken insufficient action over claims of sexual abuse at a church camp as soon as he became aware of it.
Thirty-five people were killed, and another 43 wounded, on Monday night when a man drove his sport utility vehicle (SUV) into a crowd of people exercising outside a stadium in China’s southern city of Zhuhai.
Zhuhai police said the attacker, identified as a 62-year-old man with the surname “Fan,” attempted to flee the scene but police blocked him.
Fan was taken to a local hospital with severe neck injuries after trying to kill himself with a knife while still inside his vehicle. He is reportedly in a coma, so he is “unable to be questioned by police.”
“Authorities said a preliminary investigation indicated that Fan was motivated by dissatisfaction with the division of property in his divorce case,” the South China Morning Post (SCMP) reported.
…
Chinese officials said they were ordered to step up their efforts to “sift out all these so-called losers and put them under watch” after the Shanghai attack. These officials grumbled they were given only vague guidance for identifying potentially violent individuals, and there were far too many people in serious economic distress to keep them all under surveillance.

Note: I don’t think for a second that a person would kill 35 strangers over a divorce settlement – but it does give the Chinese government an excellent excuse to tighten the screws of ‘surveillance’.

Trump Victory Is One Skirmish In A Multi-Generational War

Congratulations. Thanks to you and millions like you, it is a new day in America.
Donald Trump’s sweeping victory represents nothing less than a repudiation of the leftist agenda by a majority of Americans, suggesting that “Mainstream America” is not yet dead.
Thanks to your efforts, we have set back neo-Marxism by at least four years and hopefully twelve. As you probably know, not only did “The Indomitable Donald Trump” resoundingly win both North Carolina and 312 electoral votes, but Republicans took control of the US Senate.
Likewise, you have probably heard that although control of the US House also hangs in the balance, it is widely expected that Republicans will prevail, giving Trump the mandate you voted for.
Is Now The Time To Rest?
I’ve seen some conservatives call this a “time for healing” and that we should now “come together” to “mend.” Well-intentioned though such conservatives may be, however, they fail to consider that the left never sleeps.
When conservatives win an election, we go back to tending families, mowing lawns, and watching football. After all, we’ve elected Donald Trump to enact our values as policy, have we not?
Alas, not so the left. Win, lose or draw, they continue plotting and scheming to increase control. Science fiction author Robert Heinlein said it best:
“Political tags — such as royalist, communist, democrat, populist, fascist, liberal, conservative, and so forth — are never basic criteria. The human race divides politically into those who want people to be controlled and those who have no such desire.”
The goal of conservatives is not to control others, but instead not to be controlled: to fly American flags in our yards; to have our daughters play volleyball without getting crushed by 6-foot bearded “girls”; and to live free of rape and murder by migrant sociopaths purged from South American prisons.
By contrast, the left seeks open borders to eradicate the nation-state in the name of (authoritarian) globalism; systemic repression of those deemed “imperialist,” “racist,” or “misogynist”; incentivized crime in order to disarm the lawful; and censored speech in the name of “democracy.”
And what underpins all of that? Control.
Lampooning The Lovably Loony Left
I laugh at late night’s ostensible “comedians” like Jimmy Kimmel, who shed tears as they melt down on stage, or a despondent Stephen Colbert shaming voters who “don’t care that much about democracy.” Fox News even compiled the “…top 10 media meltdowns following Trump’s election win…”
Distraught leftists are being coddled everywhere. College classes at MSU and elsewhere are canceled to “grieve,” while Georgetown University offers not only “self-care suites” but even milk and cookies, Legos, and coloring books to console its adult children.
The University of Oregon offers not only therapy dogs and baby therapy goats but even “Quacktavious the Therapy Duck.”
Last Laugh For That Loony Left?
But don’t laugh too hard, because the joke might be on you. When the tantrums finally end, all of these coddled, indoctrinated adult children will take up “The Resistance.”
If you thought the leftist backlash during Trump’s first term was bad, you ain’t seen nothin’ yet. Presuming Trump follows through with his oft-promised mass deportation (he does follow through on promises), you can expect the media, which have learned nothing from being rejected, to shriek about “concentration camps” and dead children.
Expect more “Nazi” comparisons. Expect an Inauguration Day dogged by riots. Expect Articles of Impeachment on day one of Congress. Expect whining pundits to lament the “death of democracy endlessly.”
Consider this op-ed from Gene Nichols in the Raleigh News & Observer:
“…like millions of others, I’ll work to challenge the cold acceptance of government-imposed death sentences for women who can’t obtain lifesaving health care because of someone else’s religious conviction; the mass deportation of millions of courageous and selfless parents from distraught nations risking their lives to better the plight of their children; the blatantly unconstitutional use of the U.S. military and department of justice to crush the once and future president’s ‘enemies from within;’ the malicious targeting of marginalized transgender folks, especially teens, to prove that their outcast status is permanent and debilitating; and so much more.”
As a measure of what the left deems acceptable in their “resistance,” consider deep state bureaucrats who actually denied FEMA assistance to disaster victims who had the audacity to display Trump campaign signs.
One can’t declare a truce with a faction still at war, and I assure you the left is still very much at war with your country, your culture, and your freedom. You’ve won only one skirmish in a multi-generational struggle.
The fight is far from over.

(Richard: The following is good news, Pete Hegseth has been named as Defense Secretary, he was a Major in the US Army when he was forced out for not being politically correct.
He has written a book, The War on the Warriors, this is a very good pick for quickly returning the US Military to a force of life takers and heart breakers. Trump has been quoted saying he has a War Cabinet that is going to go to war with the Deep State. I am betting on Trump and his warriors.)

President Trump has his Secretary of Defense and it is a name no one saw coming.
Just a short time ago, Trump announced he selected Fox News’s own Pete Hegseth to lead the DOD. He cited Hegseth’s stellar America First credentials and decorated service on as an army combat veteran.

Trump wrote:
I am honored to announce that I have nominated Pete Hegseth to serve in my Cabinet as The Secretary of Defense. Pete has spent his entire life as a Warrior for the Troops, and for the Country. Pete is tough, smart and a true believer in America First. With Pete at the helm, America’s enemies are on notice – Our Military will be Great Again, and America will Never Back Down. Pete is a graduate of Princeton University, and has a Graduate Degree from Harvard University. He is an Army Combat Veteran who did tours in Guantanamo Bay, Iraq, and Afghanistan.
For his actions on the battlefield, he was decorated with two Bronze Stars, as well as a Combat Infantryman’s Badge. Pete has been a host at FOX News for eight years, where he used that platform to fight for our Military and Veterans. Pete’s recent book, “The War on Warriors,” spent nine weeks on the New York Times best-sellers list, including two weeks at NUMBER ONE. The book reveals the leftwing betrayal of our Warriors, and how we must return our Military to meritocracy, lethality, accountability, and excellence. Pete has also led two Veterans Advocacy organizations, leading the fight for our Warriors, and our great Veterans. Nobody fights harder for the Troops, and Pete will be a courageous and patriotic champion of our “Peace through Strength” policy.”
