Until a week ago, I'm betting that few Americans knew who Ben Sasse was. I'm confident that less than one-third of Americans knew that he was a US. senator representing Nebraska. After the start of the pro-Palestinian 'protests' started, it didn't take long for people to learn that he's the best university president in the U.S. This morning, President Sasse's WSJ op-ed shines a bright light that the adults are in charge at the University of Florida. I suspect that parents, students and employers are taking notice of his op-ed. In his op-ed, he wrote this indisputable truth: First, universities must distinguish between speech and action. Speech is central to education. We’re in the business of discovering knowledge and then passing it, both newly learned and time-tested, to the next generation. To do that, we need to foster an environment of free thought in which ideas can be picked apart and put back together, again and again. The heckler gets no veto. The

I wrote this post after Joe Biden's speech where he reminded us that it's ok to protest but that it isn't ok to riot. It was an insulting speech. Anyone in college knows that. What we've seen on college campuses isn't a protest. When the militants took over Hamilton Hall, they allegedly took 3 janitors hostage. That's far beyond peaceful protest. Where's the DOJ? In his speech, Faint-Hearted Joe said "We are not an authoritarian nation where we silence people or squash dissent. The American people are heard. In fact, peaceful protest is in the best tradition of how Americans respond to consequential issues. But neither are we a lawless country. We're a civil society and order must prevail." This coming from a man whose DOJ is doing everything within its power to indict and convict Donald Trump, Biden's chief opponent, on trumped up charges. Further, where is Biden's DOJ when it comes to investigating the people threatening Jewish stude

It's time for Americans to get nasty with the so-called pro-Palestinian protesters. While many of the rank-and-file protesters are useful idiots recruited from campus, it's becoming apparent that this is a well-funded astroturf operation. This article reports some frightening information. Fox News is reporting that "One piece of literature found on the site explicitly calls for 'Death to America' and 'Death to Israeli real-estate.'" Yesterday, Joe Biden finally crawled out from his hibernation to finally adress this crisis. Mostly, he spoke about how protests are in the finest American traditions. He spoke out of both sides of his mouth, too, first criticizing Palestinians, then criticizing those trafficking in Islamophobia. Biden, we were told was getting briefings on the campus situations. How could he give yesterday's speech without knowing about signs like this? This isn't about protesting. It's about starting an anti=American revoluti

In 2020, Joe Biden defeated Donald Trump by 23 points in New York State. In 2016, Hillary Clinton defeated Trump by the same margin in New York State. According to Gerry Baker's latest column , that might change this election. In his column, Baker wrote "But in 2022, with dissatisfaction at Democratic misrule, rising crime and illegal immigration, the Trumpian congressman Lee Zeldin came within 7 points of defeating Gov. Kathy Hochul. The same Siena poll shows Mr. Biden only 10 points up over Mr. Trump this month; that would be the smallest margin of victory for a Democrat since 1988." Democrats are famous for 'coming home' a month before the election. That can't be discounted this time. That being said, what would these Democrats return to? A Democrat Party made up of voters sympathetic to Palestinians, socialism and Central Americans? Would New Yorkers really return to that new and not-so-improved Democrat Party? The answer might be found in Bob Hoge's a

Joe Biden's response to the on-campus pro-Hamas treachery has been missing until today. Today, Biden finally woke up from his weekly hibernation to proclaim "There's the right to protest, but not the right to cause chaos. Let me be clear, ... violent protest is not protected. Peaceful protest is. It's against the law when violence occurs, destroying property is not a peaceful protest. It's against the law." Thank you, Captain Obvious. Next, what are you doing about this travesty your administration created with your pacifism and your desire to walk a tightrope so you don't offend the Dearborn Palestinians or Jewish voters. That wasn't the full extent of Biden's comments. He continued , mouthing meaningless words to make it sound like he meant them. After Peter Doocy got into a heated back-and-forth with KJP about how Biden had been silent, Biden had to say something. He couldn't stay silent. It isn't coincidental that Biden said something

Karinne Jean-Pierre's spin about Joe Biden's silence about the pro-Palestinian protesters needs work. At Wednesday's WH Press Briefing, Peter Doocy asked her "You mentioned what he said in 2017, after Charlottesville. He said about Trump’s response then, 'Charlottesville, for me, was a moment where I thought silence would be complicity.' How you explain his silence this week?" KJP replied "The President has not been silent on this issue when it comes to hate speech, antisemitism. He started ... Wait. He started — he launched the first-ever antisemitism — Strategy to Counter Antisemitism, something that no other president did. No other president..." Big whoop. A Democrat president launches a new bureaucratic agency is noteworthy? Since when is that noteworthy? What has Biden said directly about antisemitic 'protesters' taking over Columbia's Hamilton Hall? If he thinks that having his political hack press secretary make a generalize
