The problem has always been the professors who have been indoctrinating them."

PROBLEMATIC POSTING: New York Gov. Kathy Hochul ordered City University of New York (CUNY) to spike a "Palestinian Studies" professorship posting that would have allegedly peddled antisemitic and anti-Israel discourse with topics like "apartheid," "settler colonialism," "genocide" and more. The governor ordered the school to conduct a thorough review of the position to ensure that antisemitic theories are not promoted.
DEAL WITH DEVILS: White House press secretary Karoline Leavitt defended U.S. efforts to negotiate with Hamas to release American hostages during a briefing on Wednesday. There are currently five hostages with U.S. citizenship in Gaza, though most are feared dead. Leavitt said Israel was "consulted on this matter," and that President Donald Trump believes in putting forth "good faith effort[s] to do what's right for the American people."
GUEST EDITORIAL: Retired FBI agent David Zimmerman reminds readers that 45 Americans were kidnapped and 12 murdered by Hamas on Oct. 7, 2023. Zimmerman, an active-duty FBI agent stationed in Israel from 2020 to 2024, writes that he is "shocked that most Americans do not realize the extent of the suffering our own citizens endured and continue to endure at the hands of Hamas."
QUOTE OF THE WEEK: "Hate doesn't go away on its own. Extremism doesn't go away on its own. If you don't deal with it, it stays around." Columbia associate professor Shai Davidai.

Elon Musk Says He 'Regrets' Some Of His Posts About Donald Trump: 'They Went Too Far'
Elon Musk says he 'regrets' some of his posts last week during his feud with POTUS Donald Trump. Musk took to Twitter/X this morning to offer contrition, saying his posts 'went too far.' He did not specify which posts crossed a line, but he appears to have deleted his most nuclear pronouncement about Trump appearing in the Jeffrey Epstein files. The White House rubbished the unevidenced claim.

Trump last week declared that their relationship was over, and that he had no interest in mending ties with Musk. Musk urged Americans to call their representatives in Washington to 'kill the bill.' In response, Trump said Musk had 'lost his mind' and threatened to cancel his government contracts, which have an estimated value of $38B (£28B). Musk appeared to have deleted many of his posts over the weekend, including one that called for Trump's impeachment. Musk was the largest donor for Trump's 2024 presidential campaign. The possibility of a potential thawing in relations appeared to be welcomed by investors. Tesla's share price rose by 2.6% in pre-market trading.

Thune on protests: LA ‘needed some outside help'
WASHINGTON, DC (KELO) — Senate Majority Leader John Thune is defending President Trump's decision to federalize the National Guard and send in Marines to put a stop to clashes between demonstrators and law enforcement in Los Angeles. Cheyenne River Reservation authorities investigating 2 deaths The South Dakota Republican fielded reporters' questions on a range of topics Wednesday on Capitol Hill, including the ongoing protests over immigration raids. The City of Los Angeles reported fewer clashes overnight as a curfew went into effect. Yet tensions remain high as members of the military are on standby in case of more violence. Thune says the military presence was needed because local officials in California didn't have a handle on the situation. Thune called public safety a 'political imperative' while discussing the protests taking place this week in Los Angeles. 'Because one of the most fundamental questions most people, or most voters ask is my family safe? Is my neighborhood safe? Is my community safe? And when you can't answer that in the affirmative, then you've got a problem and I think that's what they ran into in Los Angeles which is why they needed some outside help,' Thune said. But House Democrats say Los Angeles didn't need outside help from the military to keep the violence in check. 'And state and local law enforcement officials are prepared to do that. At the same time, we respect the right and should embrace the right for any American to peacefully protest,' (D) House Minority Leader Hakeem Jeffries said. Thune wouldn't directly answer one reporter's question about President Trump's pardons of January 6th rioters. Manu Raju: 'Do you see any inconsistency when a president criticizes and condemns the violent LA protests but then pardons the violent January 6th protestors?' 'I think the issue that's in front of us right now is the chaos in Los Angeles. And clearly, the local officials there, for whatever reason, didn't seem up to the task,' Thune said. Critics say President Trump's deployment of troops to Los Angeles will only provoke more violence. But Thune and other Republicans on Capitol Hill say it was a move that needed to be made. 'At the end of the day, it's about preventing chaos and preserving law and order,' Thune said. A federal judge will hold a hearing Thursday on California Governor Gavin Newsom's request to stop President Trump from using troops in Los Angeles. Copyright 2025 Nexstar Media, Inc.

Trump says US personnel moved as Iran tensions mount
President Donald Trump said US personnel were being moved from the potentially "dangerous" Middle East on Wednesday as nuclear talks with Iran faltered and fears grew of a regional conflict. Trump also reiterated that he would not allow Iran to have a nuclear weapon, amid mounting speculation that Israel could strike Tehran's facilities. Iran threatened Wednesday to target US military bases in the region if conflict breaks out. A US official had earlier said that staff levels at the embassy in Iraq were being reduced over security concerns, while there were reports that personnel were also being moved from Kuwait and Bahrain. "Well they are being moved out because it could be a dangerous place," Trump told reporters in Washington when asked about the reports of personnel being moved. "We've given notice to move out and we'll see what happens." Trump then added: "They can't have a nuclear weapon, very simple. We're not going to allow that." Tehran and Washington have held five rounds of talks since April to thrash out a new nuclear deal to replace the 2015 accord that Trump abandoned during his first term in 2018. The two sides were due to meet again in coming days. Trump had until recently expressed optimism about the talks, but said in an interview published Wednesday that he was "less confident" about reaching a nuclear deal. Since returning to office in January, Trump has revived his "maximum pressure" campaign on Tehran, backing nuclear diplomacy but warning of military action if it fails. The US president says he has pressed Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu to hold off striking Iran's nuclear facilities to give the talks a chance, but has increasingly signaled that he is losing patience. Iran however warned it would respond to any attack. "All its bases are within our reach, we have access to them, and without hesitation we will target all of them in the host countries," Iran's Defence Minister Aziz Nasirzadeh said in response to US threats of military action if the talks fail. - 'Suffer more losses' - "God willing, things won't reach that point, and the talks will succeed," the minister said, adding that the US side "will suffer more losses" if it came to conflict. The United States has multiple bases in the Middle East, with the largest located in Qatar. In January 2020, Iran fired missiles at bases in Iraq housing American troops in retaliation for the US strike that killed top Iranian general Qassem Soleimani days before at the Baghdad airport. Dozens of US soldiers suffered traumatic brain injuries. Amid the escalating tensions, the UK Maritime Trade Operations, run by the British navy, also advised ships to transit the Gulf with caution. Iran and the United States have recently been locked in a diplomatic standoff over Iran's uranium enrichment, with Tehran defending it as a "non-negotiable" right and Washington calling it a "red line." Iran currently enriches uranium to 60 percent, far above the 3.67-percent limit set in the 2015 deal and close though still short of the 90 percent needed for a nuclear warhead. Western countries have long accused Iran of seeking to acquire atomic weapons, while Tehran insists its nuclear program is for peaceful purposes. Last week, Iran's supreme leader Ayatollah Ali Khamenei said enrichment is "key" to Iran's nuclear program and that Washington "cannot have a say" on the issue. During an interview with the New York Post's podcast "Pod Force One," which was recorded on Monday, Trump said he was losing hope a deal could be reached. "I don't know. I did think so, and I'm getting more and more -- less confident about it. They seem to be delaying and I think that's a shame. I am less confident now than I would have been a couple of months ago," he said. Iran has said it will present a counter-proposal to the latest draft from Washington, which it had criticised for failing to offer relief from sanctions -- a key demand for Tehran, which has been reeling under their weight for years. burs-dk/jgc
