The Democratic superlawyer who resigned in disgrace from the #MeToo organization Time's Up after helping former New York governor Andrew Cuomo (D.) discredit his accusers is now defending Columbia University against a lawsuit alleging that it fosters a pervasive culture of anti-Semitism. Roberta Kaplan filed notice last month to represent Columbia and its sister college, Barnard, against lawsuits that accuse school leaders of enabling an "antisemitic hostile educational environment" in the wake of Hamas's terrorist attack on Israel. Students Against Antisemitism and a group of five Columbia students allege that school leaders have turned a blind eye as anti-Semitic activists...

JERUSALEM —As Joe Biden pushes to empower the Palestinian Authority .. the PA has committed tens of millions of dollars for terrorists who were killed or captured while carrying out Hamas’ Oct. 7 terror attack on Israel and the resulting war. Since Oct. 7, the PA has doubled down on its longstanding "pay for slay" policy, which gives salaries and benefits to Palestinians imprisoned for involvement in violence against Israel and to the families of those killed in "the revolution" against the Jewish state. The policy does not distinguish between terrorists and civilians. But based on Israel Defense Forces estimates...

It's very early doors up at the count in Rochdale, but already George Galloway's team say they have taken the seat. A source close to the former Labour MP said they have won "comfortably". Given the polls closed less than an hour ago, there is still a lot of time left before we get an official result. But the confidence of the Galloway team to make this call shows how successful the campaign has been in their view. Speaking after the polls closed, Mr Galloway said: "Thank you to every voter who took the time to send a message to...

The Israeli military is confident that Hamas leader Yehiya Sinwar, the alleged architect of the Oct. 7 attacks, is hiding in a labyrinthine network of tunnels beneath Southern Gaza. But he is surrounded by a human shield of hostages intended to deter an operation to capture or kill him, frustrating Israel’s efforts to dismantle the terrorist organization and bring the more than four-months-long war to a close….

A UN Security Council report has found that since the Taliban resumed ruling Afghanistan in 2021, the country has returned to being a shelter for terrorist organizations.. The al-Qaeda terrorist organization is having a resurgence in Afghanistan under the ruling Taliban, setting up eight new training camps alongside five madrasas, Islamic educational institutions, around the country, a report from the UN Security Council in late January has revealed. The report said that the training camps are located in various provinces, including Ghazni, Laghman, Parwan, and Uruzgan. It also listed sites used by al-Qaeda to move its operatives in and out...

The White House is ripping comments by UN Under-Secretary General for Humanitarian Affairs and Emergency Relief Martin Griffiths that Hamas is not a terrorist group. "Hamas is a terrorist organization," White House National Security Communications Adviser John Kirby insisted on Thursday, according to The Jerusalem Post. "And you don't have to look any further than what they did on the 7th of October to see it in stark terms," he said. Kirby's remarks referenced the Hamas-led attack against southern Israel in which over 1,200 people were killed and another 253 seized as hostages. "My goodness, take a look at their...

COLUMBUS, Ohio (WCMH) — A Columbus man has been sentenced to more than 14 years in prison after he pleaded guilty to taking part in a terrorist organization’s plot to murder former President George W. Bush. Shihab Ahmed Shihab Shihab, 53, was sentenced in federal court on Monday to 178 months in prison and a lifetime of supervised release following his prison sentence, according to U.S. Attorney Kenneth Parker. “[Shihab] believed the former president was responsible for killing many Iraqis and breaking apart the entire country of Iraq during Operation Iraqi Freedom,” said Parker. “The defendant’s own life changed during...

When the Wall Street Journal ran an op-ed by a counterterrorism researcher exposing support for terrorism in Dearborn, MI, Biden didn’t condemn the hate, he condemned the op-ed. “Americans know that blaming a group of people based on the words of a small few is wrong. That’s exactly what can lead to Islamophobia and anti-Arab hate, and it shouldn’t happen to the residents of Dearborn,” Biden tweeted. The “small few” named in the op-ed included a pro-terrorist gathering attended by over 1,2000 people (2% of the local Muslim population), the Dearborn’s Islamic Center of Detroit and the 120,000 square foot...

Labour says it has “withdrawn support” for Rochdale by-election candidate Azhar Ali after his comments on Israel. The BBC understands Mr Ali has been suspended from Labour pending an investigation. The party said the decision was taken after "new information about further comments" by Mr Ali came to light. Earlier on Monday, Labour had defended standing by him as a candidate. It is too late for the party to replace Mr Ali as its candidate. The decision means that Mr Ali will remain on the ballot as the Labour candidate for Rochdale, but if he is elected he will sit...

@LeadingReport BREAKING: House passes resolution to remove Ilhan Omar from Foreign Affairs Committee.

UNRWA Commissioner-General Philippe Lazzarini on Saturday night responded to the revelation of the terror tunnels under UNRWA's main headquarters in Gaza. In a series of bullet points posted on X, formerly Twitter, Lazzarini claimed, "UNRWA did not know what is under its headquarters in Gaza." "UNRWA is made aware of reports through the media regarding a tunnel under the UNRWA Headquarters in Gaza. "UNRWA staff left its headquarters in Gaza City on 12 October following the Israeli evacuation orders and as bombardment intensified in the area. We have not used that compound since we left it nor are we aware...

Joe Biden’s America. A Pakistani man who entered the US illegally in California in November of 2023, was released into the US in January with “tracking technology.” This was after he was confirmed as a match on the US terror watchlist. This technology was part of the government’s ‘Alternatives to Detention’ program. So, with this logic, an illegal alien who has ties to terrorists was let go with a digital babysitter. The Pakistani was arrested after ICE in Los Angeles was informed of he was on a terror watchlist. Daily Caller reported: Federal immigration authorities caught and released a Pakistani...

Julius Malema has repeatedly called for the genocide of the 4 million Whites living in South Africa. Malema could very possibly be elected as Prime Minister in a few months. Zero international outrage.

A non-binary activist who is behind controversial for-profit Woke Kindergarten is sparking outrage online after they posted a video in they claim that both the US and Israel have 'no right to exist.' Akiea Gross, who goes by Ki and uses they/them pronouns, posted the shocking video after it emerged that the program that they founded has seen literacy and numeracy rates plummet since being implemented in a school in the Bay Area. 'I believe Israel has no right to exist. I believe the United States has no right to exist. I believe every settler colony who has committed genocide...

Shellyne Rodriguez, the machete-wielding former Hunter College professor, has now been fired by the Cooper Union college. The school previously stood with Rodriguez after she trashed a student display and held a machete to the neck of a journalist. It appears that Rodriguez’s anti-Israel comments were finally too much for Cooper Union. What is interesting is what it takes at both Hunter College and The Cooper Union to be fired. We previously discussed a videotape of Rodríguez trashing a pro-life student display in New York. Before attacking the table, she told the students, “You’re not educating s–t […] This is...

Guys, why is this woman still allowed in the US Congress? Ilhan Omar, who has been revealed in recent days by her own public admission to be a foreign agent, who is alleged to have committed immigration fraud by marrying her brother, who dismissed 9/11 as some people doing something, that lady just gave away the game. ... I am an American migrant in US Congress. But I am a Somali girl. A girl with your lineage, a girl with your language, a girl with your religion. That was a young child taken from her country and wishes to live...

A California teenager accused of being behind a flurry of swatting incidents across the country targeting schools and the homes of FBI agents has been arrested in connection with a swatting attempt at a Florida mosque last year, according to court documents filed by state prosecutors. Alan Winston Filion, 17, was arrested last month at his home in Lancaster, California, and extradited to Florida on Tuesday, court documents say. He was charged as an adult on four felonies, including charges related to false reporting that triggered law enforcement response. Filion entered a not guilty plea to the charges. He is...

A senior BBC employee described white people as a “barbaric bloodthirsty rapacious murderous genocidal thieving parasitical deviant breed,” while also calling the UK a “bigoted” country. Tell us what you really think. Dawn Queva, who is a scheduling coordinator at BBC Three, made the comments on her Facebook page. It is unclear whether they were made before or after she was hired by the BBC, which appears to have done no checks on her background. While Queva appears to vehemently hate white people, that didn’t stop her living in the UK, a country she branded “bigoted” and “genocidal,” while also...

A video of Nabil Absi, a Muslim man originally from Algeria but lives in Quebec, Canada, has stunned many. The video showed the man dressed in Catholic priestly attire and walked right into a Catholic church during mass. He went close to the priest, spread his Islamic prayer mat and performed the Islamic ritual to the shock of the congregants who watched him while also reciting their Christian hymnal song simultaneously.The video showed the man dressed in Catholic priestly attire and walked right into a Catholic church during mass.

A reporter’s interaction with an illegal alien at the US-Mexico border went viral after the migrant mysteriously claimed people would soon know his name. “If you are smart enough, you will know who I am, but you are really not smart enough to know who I am,” the unidentified man speaking English told reporters with 1st Responders Media. “Believe me,” he continued, adding he’s “better than that” when reporters described him as “entitled.” Many on social media took the man’s words to mean he’s planning on committing terroristic acts in the future once inside the US, for which he would...
