From Bastion to Prison: The Fall of Free Speech So now that we know the perpetrator in Charlie Kirk's case was radicalized by a combination of college experiences and online political extremist channels, it is clear our educators in academia bear a significant responsibility for radicalizing our kids. They have been radicalized to the point that they view political violence as a rational option and, equally grotesque, as something worthy of celebration. Words are not violence. Older generations grew up under the motto: "Sticks and stones may break my bones, but words will never hurt me." Academia has seemingly changed it to: We will break your bones with sticks and stones due to your WORDS. If anyone needs proof, they only need to tabulate the number of educators, from K-Doctorate, that have publicly celebrated Kirk's demise - even medical doctors sworn to save lives. It is truly disturbing that those who teach our kids are among the largest groups celebrating an assassination of a fellow human being. There is a deep rot plaguing academia at all levels. They claim they're about inclusivity and diversity, but their actions prove their idea of diversity is merely skin-deep. The whole point of celebrating diversity is to recognize and respect the unique opinions and beliefs we form and hold, on all topics, due to our different experiences. College campuses were once considered the bastion of free thought, and the preeminent place for the exchange of ideas through vigorous debate, yet most across our great nation have morphed into the exact opposite. For many students the alleged bastion of free speech has actually become a prison for their thoughts. On campuses across the nation, many kids have to put on a façade and lie about how they truly feel, to both friend and staff, to avoid confrontation and consequences. Not only is free speech no longer an option on most campuses, the opposite exists: Compelled speech - all because words are deemed violence. Only say what we say is right, or be punished. Charlie Kirk found out that even the ultimate punishment can be exacted from you for simply engaging in and pursuing the very free speech and debate both campuses and our country are supposed to embody and support. Free speech, debate, and the free exchange of ideas, without fear of retribution, need to be restored not only on college campuses, but across this great nation. Our children's future relies upon it.

President Trump unloading on @SangerNYT reflects a combination of anxiety, insecurity and desperation about the Iran war. David is the dean of national security reporters: experienced, meticulous and fair. Blaming the messenger underscores that the reality itself is pretty bad.

Trump to NYT's David Sanger: "I had a total military victory. But the fake news, guys like you, write incorrectly. You're a fake guy. We had a total military victory. I actually think it's sort of treasonous what you write. You should be ashamed of yourself. I actually think it's treason."

I’m case you needed an update, Democrats are going to “protect democracy” by: 1) Removing Supreme Court justices and stacking the court. 2) Eliminating the way we’ve selected presidents since the founding. 3) Adding states, but only states that favor them.

Mayor Zohran Kwame Mamdani
I am outraged that a swastika flag was raised overlooking Washington Square Park. This hateful antisemitic act was meant to spread fear among and intimidate Jewish New Yorkers. It has no place in our city. Our administration is committed to fighting antisemitism in all its forms and protecting the safety of Jewish New Yorkers. The NYPD Hate Crime Task Force is investigating this despicable act, and I am confident those responsible will be held accountable.

Do you fucking people live in a bubble or what?!? Is your Google or AI broken? Here is ChatGPT: Yes — there have been multiple sourced news reports in 2026 about Rama Duwaji involving both alleged pro-Hamas/anti-Israel social media activity and accusations of antisemitic rhetoric. Here’s the breakdown of what has actually been reported versus what is interpretation/opinion: Several outlets reported that Duwaji allegedly “liked” Instagram posts immediately after the Oct. 7 Hamas attack that critics said celebrated or justified the assault. Those reports were covered by outlets including: Jewish Insider Times of Israel Fox News The reporting says the posts included slogans like “breaking the walls of apartheid” alongside images from the Oct. 7 border breach. Critics characterized those posts as celebrating the Hamas attack. There were also reports about resurfaced older posts from roughly 2013–2017: one saying “F**k Tel Aviv” another reportedly saying Tel Aviv “shouldn’t exist” posts referencing Palestinian militants and intifada imagery use of racial or homophobic slurs as a teenager. Duwaji later publicly apologized for “harmful” language she had used as a teen, though reports noted she did not specifically retract every anti-Israel post. As for the “Spotify music about hating Jews” claim: There was a report published today alleging that Spotify playlists associated with Duwaji contained strongly anti-Israel songs and slogans. The reporting specifically referenced songs with lyrics such as “I hate Israel” and profanity directed at Israel. However, the reports I found do not show evidence of songs explicitly advocating hatred of Jews as Jews. The allegations in the sourcing are primarily about anti-Israel content, which critics describe as antisemitic. That distinction is important. So the accurate summary is: Yes, there are sourced reports alleging she engaged with or promoted content viewed by critics as supportive of Oct. 7 or hostile toward Israel. Yes, there are sourced reports about resurfaced social media posts widely condemned as antisemitic or extremist. The “Spotify” story today appears real and sourced, but the available reporting describes anti-Israel songs/playlists, not direct “hate Jews” lyrics in the wording I could verify.

@TheIshaqq @NYCMayor @grok has their been sourced news stories about Mandami’s wife Rama Duwaji celebrating Hamas’ attack on October 7th. And old social media posts that are obviously antisemite, and even a story from today about her Spotify music being about hating Jews?

@MiddleAlt38607 @NYCMayor So we should believe you are telling the truth? See condemning antisemitism shouldn’t suddenly become controversial because you dislike the person saying it. Some of you are so blinded by outrage that you’d argue with basic human decency just to score points online. Touch grass.

@TheIshaqq @NYCMayor Are you fucking joking? This total fucking liar and proven antisemite is lying. His wife was proven to have celebrated any and all atrocities committed against Jews. They literally want all Jews dead.

@NYCMayor New York will never bow to hate. No religion or community should live in fear because of extremists seeking attention through intimidation. Good to see swift action being taken antisemitism has no place in any civilized society.

@Joan_of_Snarc @nytimes @grok Fraud. They’re all frauds. They funnel tax payer money into their friends and campaign donators, or in the case of Newsom his wife, in NGO’s that pay themselves millions while the majority of funds don’t go towards the issue they actually were supposed to fund.

+ full statement from New York Times spokesperson Danielle Rhoades Ha: “"The Israeli Prime Minister has threatened to file a libel lawsuit against The New York Times regarding Nicholas Kristof’s deeply reported opinion column on sexual abuse by Israel’s prison guards, soldiers, settlers, and interrogators. This threat, similar to one made last year, is part of a well-worn political playbook that aims to undermine independent reporting and stifle journalism that does not fit a specific  narrative. Any such legal claim would be without merit. Nick’s column starts with a proposition to readers: ‘Whatever our views of the Middle East conflict, we should be able to unite in condemning rape.’ Nick writes about the brutal sexual assaults against Israeli women during the Hamas-led attack on Israel. He then chronicles 14 on-the-record victim accounts and cites eight independent human rights reports documenting the practice of sexual violence and abuse conducted by various parts of Israel’s security forces and settlers. Nick has covered sexual violence for decades, and is widely regarded as one of the world’s best on-the-ground journalists in documenting and bearing witness to sexual abuse experienced by women and men in war and conflict zones. The accounts of the men and women he interviewed were corroborated with witnesses, whenever possible, and with people the victims confided in, including family members and lawyers. Details were extensively fact-checked, with accounts further cross-referenced with news reporting, independent research from human-rights groups, surveys and in one case, with U.N. testimony. Independent experts were consulted on the assertions in the piece throughout reporting and fact-checking."”

@grok isn't it true Governor Newsom of California has spent billions on the homeless and the homeless rate has increased? Isn't it also true billions have been spent on the highspeed rail / train and there is little to no track, and the budget has exploded? Lastly, is it true the money has not been audited and accounted for?
