PBS Slights Non-Protester Rights on Campus: ‘No Right to…Most Convenient Path to Library’

Tuesday’s PBS NewsHour actually brought on a critic of the pro-Hamas protesters currently infesting college campus quads across the country, which so far have gotten a nearly free ride from scrutiny (there’s certainly been little scrutiny of the pro-Biden groups funding them).

New York Times columnist David French is certainly no hard-core conservative — he’s pretty close to PBS regular David Brooks — but his opinion that the “camping” protesters posed a threat to other students and should be removed was a strong counterpoint to PBS’s knee-jerk support of the agitators and its exquisite sensitivity to the radicals’ demands.

U.S. offers Israel intelligence, supplies in effort to avoid Rafah invasion

The Biden administration, working urgently to stave off a full-scale Israeli invasion of Rafah, is offering Israel valuable assistance if it holds back, including sensitive intelligence to help the Israeli military pinpoint the location of Hamas leaders and find the group’s hidden tunnels, according to four people familiar with the U.S. offers.

I don’t think this will endear Biden to the college crowd.

RCMP boss expresses desire for new law to deal with threats against politicians

OTTAWA – RCMP commissioner Mike Duheme says he wants the government to look at drafting a new law that would make it easier for police to pursue charges against people who threaten elected officials.

The Mounties are seeing an increase in invective directed at politicians, including comments from the same individuals on multiple occasions, Duheme said in an interview.

However, often the behaviour does not meet the Criminal Code threshold for laying a charge of uttering threats.

This clown needs to go.

Greta should pipe down about Palestine

Kudos to Greta Thunberg who, at just 21 years old, has apparently become an expert not only on the environment, but also on the Middle East’s most intractable conflict. It seems the pint-sized activist has taken a break from carping about climate change to protest instead about Palestine.
