Colleges with pro-Hamas student groups could lose US funding

 American Action News:

The Department of Education (ED) is investigating several elite colleges for antisemitism on campus, and they could pull funds from universities over pro-Hamas groups, though they might take an alternative route, according to multiple experts.

Cooper Union, Columbia University and the University of Pennsylvania (UPenn) are all under investigation by President Joe Biden’s ED following notable antisemitic incidents on campus, as well as several other colleges, according to a press release. Several Republican politicians have called for colleges with pro-Hamas student groups to be defunded, and Republican Florida Sen. Marco Rubio has attempted to revoke the visas of pro-Hamas foreign students following pro-Hamas protests on campuses, which experts say could lead to the defunding of these colleges.

“It’s not only the right expectation, but I think it’s a requirement for us to reevaluate, and under the circumstances in particular, I have no issue and, in fact, would encourage the removal of students who are voicing their support for the violent terrorist organizations that conducted the crimes of Oct. 7,” Robert Greenway, director of the Center for National Defense at The Heritage Foundation, told the Daily Caller News Foundation.

Federal and state terrorism laws could be used to take pro-Hamas student organizations off campus and foreign students could have their visa pulled, Greenway told the DCNF.

“A visa is not a constitutional right. It is a temporary permission for foreign nationals to visit our country. Supporting terrorism, as defined by U.S. law, disqualifies individuals from having a visa,” Rubio said in a press release.

Republican Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis’ administration ordered two universities in Florida to remove Students for Justice in Palestine (SJP) chapters from campus in October, citing their support for “terrorism.” At least two organizations sued Florida for ordering the groups removed, citing the First Amendment, according to The Associated Press.

We should not welcome those who support mass murdering baby killers.  They are a threat to many US citizens.

Should Republicans go ahead and add Supreme Court Justices to head off Democrats

Washington Post: Some Democrats eye adding more justices to the Supreme Court to change its ideological bent The once-remote idea has gained the attention of liberals angered by the GOP push to remake the federal courts. Probably the easy way to defeat this court-packing scheme is for Trump to propose doing the same thing now.  It would lead to Democrat denunciations and claims that it would be wrong, thereby blowing up any attempt by them in the unfortunate event of Democrats winning a presidential election.

29 % of companies say they are unlikely to keep insurance after Obamacare

Conn Carroll: A new survey of 368 midsize to large companies found that 29% of them are considering terminating their active employee health care plans when Obamacare is full implemented in 2014. Only 71% of employers surveyed said they did not expect to drop their health coverage, while 20% said they did not know and 9% said they were planning to exit. The latest survey, conducted by Towers Watson, echoes an ealier survey by McKinsey & Co. finding that 30% of private-sector employers were planning to drop their employee health insurance coverage by 2014. When the Congressional Budget Office crunched Obamacare's spending numbers, they estimated that only 7% of employees currently covered by employer-sponsored plans would lose their plans. ... This means the cost of the health care fiasco will be hundreds of billions more than estimated by the CBO and Congressional Democrat. It is also clear that Obama's pledge that you could keep your health care plan if you wanted t...

Is the F-35 obsolete?

Headline USA: Pentagon Fires Back after Musk Calls Its Most Expensive Project ‘Obsolete’ 'Yeah, as I'm sure you can appreciate, Mr. Musk is, currently, a private citizen, I'm not going to make any comments about what a private citizen may have to say about the F-35....'   ... ... Drones appear to be replacing jets for many operations.  The Russia-Ukraine war is an example of that.  Drones are often hard to detect and can be used for intelligence operations as well as for attacking enemy targets.  It would not surprise me to see drones engaging other drones in combat.  They also cost much less than manned fighters.
