Intelligent people have already been wondering just how much of the ‘student’ activism in support of the ‘Palestinians’ and Hamas has been led not by the students themselves, but professional activists. We have previously noted that the majority of those arrested, 13 out of 19, as the Philadelphia Police ‘broke up‘ an attempt to occupy a Penn building, and 26 out of 33 arrested as the pro-Hamas ‘encampment’ at the University of Pennsylvania was broken up were not students there.

IDF troops raid Hamas compound, seize weapons cache from hidden tunnel in Rafah
IDF troops say they eliminated ‘dozens’ of Hamas members

Israeli forces conducted a raid against a Hamas compound in Gaza on Tuesday, uncovering a tunnel and a significant cache of weapons and explosives. Continue reading
Anti-Semitism at Hahvahd is nothing new.
Our good friends on the left have been assuring us that the many protests against Israel’s policies against the poor, poor Palestinians is simply support for an oppressed people, and is in no way anti-Semitic. Steve Keeley, of Fox 29 News, reproduced and tweeted out the message of John Fry, President of Drexel University in Philadelphia, concerning the new encampment of pro-Hamas protesters there:
While protest encampments such as this one are not legally protected, we had hoped last night that this demonstration would remain peaceful and respectful of others. Regrettably, that is not the case here. This demonstration already has proved intolerably disruptive to normal University operations and has raised serious concerns about the conduct of some participants, including distressing reports and images of protesters subjecting passersby to antisemitic speech, signs and chants.
There’s more of Dr Fry’s message, which can be seen at Mr Keeley’s tweet. The Philadelphia Inquirer covered the creation of the ‘encampment’ at Drexel, but, in an article last updated at 10:14 PM EDT on Saturday, had nothing on Dr Fry’s message or the anti-Semitic behavior of many of the protesters.

Are barbed wire and lock-picking tools the usual things that peaceful protesters have and use? Just who is paying for these obviously organized professional agitators?
At least this time, the University of Pennsylvania didn’t waste any time! Continue reading
Israel recovers three more hostages from Gaza Unfortunately, they were already dead.
To the surprise of absolutely no one, the Israel Defence Force has recovered three more hostages who were seized by Hamas in the October 7th terrorist attack, and all three were dead. From The Wall Street Journal: Continue reading
Sometimes you just have to be an [insert slang term for the rectum here] to do things right 'Harm reduction' has not reduced the harm drugs do, but simply redistributed it to innocent people
In an article that would never, ever, have been published by The Philadelphia Inquirer, Olivia Reingold reported that addiction activists say they’re ‘reducing harm’ in Philly, but Kensington locals say they’re causing it. The newspaper has published several articles describing Mayor Cherelle Parker Mullins’ clean-up efforts in trying to get the junkies off the streets and the drug dealers behind bars on in that infamous open-air drug market, but Friday morning’s really took the cake. The OpEd written by Theo Fountain, a drug addict in remission and former street camper in that section of the city, he’s advocating for the ‘harm reduction’ efforts by Prevention Point he says helped him to finally get off the streets.
It was in the fourteenth paragraph down that Mr Fountain admitted how he supported his drug habit:
I was arrested for participating in the typical hustles addicts support themselves through: shoplifting and dealing dope.
How interesting that inclusive places like Haverford College allow discrimination against Jews on campus
Haverford College was founded in 1833, as a men’s college, by members of the Religious Society of Friends, more colloquially known as Quakers. According to the school, 98% of the 1,472-member student body live on campus, and the college claims a six-to-one tree to student body ratio. Full disclosure: I did some work on the Haverford campus in the early 2000s.
A liberal arts college, they are most definitely liberal, as they have proudly posted about their student body ‘diversity,’ telling us that the Class of 2027 is 52.5% “identify as people of color”. No mention was made concerning whether Rachel Dolezal was a student. 🙂
Haverford isn’t cheap, as tuition, fees, and housing for the 2024-25 academic year totals $89,568, though they also say that 49% receive some sort of financial aid, 44% receive outright grants, with the average grant being $62,237.
So, you’d think that Haverford College is an inclusive and welcoming place, right? The college certainly advertises itself that way! Unless, of course, you’re a Jooooo! From The Philadelphia Inquirer: Continue reading
You in a heap o’ trouble, boy! Why do so many teachers get caught on sex charges?
I am not surprised that anyone named after the Dallas Cowboys would (allegedly) be a low-life scumbag. If the NFL were to be given an enema, the tube would be inserted into Jerry Jones! But I do admit to some surprise that the credentialed media didn’t conceal the sex of Dallas Shuler’s victims:

Are you quaking in fear over the new COVID-19 variant?
Americans, as well as people I’ve met in foreign travel, are just plain over the COVID-19 panicdemic, the spelling of that word meant to indicate just how I saw the whole thing. Virtually no one other than Taylor Lorenz, who has told us that she is immunocompromised, wears a face mask these days. I will very, very! occasionally see someone in Kroger wearing a mask, but I don’t know their individual circumstances; any one of them could be sick himself, or seriously immunocompromised, and I do not judge them or take assumptions about their conditions.
Well, here they go again! From The New York Times:
There’s a New Covid Variant. What Will That Mean for Spring and Summer?
Experts are closely watching KP.2, now the leading variant.
by Dani Blum | Friday, March 10, 2024
For most of this year, the JN.1 variant of the coronavirus accounted for an overwhelming majority of Covid cases. But now, an offshoot variant called KP.2 is taking off. The variant, which made up just one percent of cases in the United States in mid-March, now makes up over a quarter. Continue reading
