Comment on Watchdog group sues NYPD, feds for records on cop’s murder

Colleges are considering suspensions and expulsions for students who vandalized campuses and committed violence over the last month. These consequences are entirely appropriate and overdue. School officials in North Carolina are even reallocating more funds to campus safety. What took so long? The answer may help prevent violent riots on campuses in the future. MIT officials recently announced they were suspending “dozens” of students who forced their way back into the area of campus where students had set up encampments.

Earlier this month at the Florida Democratic Party’s Leadership Blue fundraiser, the keynote delivered by Sen. John Fetterman, D-Penn., was interrupted by a young protester shouting “Free Palestine” and accusing those assembled of having “blood on your hands” given the party’s continued support for the Israeli assault on Gaza, which has so far killed upward of 35,000 Palestinians, mostly women and children.

MAGA Republican sycophants including Sens. Rick Scott, Tommy Tuberville and J. D. Vance; House Speaker Mike Johnson; U. S. Rep. Nicole Malliotakis, R-N. Y.; and others too numerous to name are the epitome of hypocrisy. They all showed up to kiss Donald Trump’s ring and bend over backward, kowtowing to him at his New York hush money/campaign finance trial.
