OIC - Guess the protesters weren't getting paid enough! Very interesting since Mr. Soros is supposed to be Jewish..... https://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-13353941/George-soros-paying-left-wing-activists-college-protest-camp.html Multiple leaders of the anti-Israel protests at college campuses across the nation have been revealed to be paid fellows of George Soros-connected groups. Three of the major figures in the pro-Palestine encampments in universities are fellows at the Soros-funded US Campaign for Palestinian Rights, the New York Post reports. USCPR 'community-based' fellows are paid up to $7,800 for their labor, while 'campus-based' fellows are given between $2,880 and $3,660 for spending eight hours a week organizing 'campaigns led by Palestinian organizations.' The organization instructs its fellows to 'rise up' and spark 'revolution,' while specifically telling them to reject 'reform.' It has received at least $300,000 from Soros' Open Society Foundations since 2017. One of them, former president of the University of Texas Students for Justice in Palestine Nidaa Lafi was seen giving a speech on the campus encampment on Wednesday. Lafi is currently studying law at Southern Methodist University in Dallas after graduating from UT last year. The former intern for late Democratic congresswoman Eddie Bernice Johnson was detained in January for blocking the route of president Joe Biden's motorcade in Dallas for the funeral of her former boss, rep. Johnson. Meanwhile at Yale, USCPR fellow Craig Birckhead-Morton was arrested after occupying the school Beinecke Plaza on Monday. He was an intern Democratic Maryland rep. John Sarbanes. At Berkeley, co-president of the Berkeley Law Students for Justice in Palestine Malak Afaneh is a known face at pro-Palestine protests and has been speaking at the campus' protest this week. Afaneh previously made headlines this month when she was one of the students who hijacked a dinner with the law school's dean and made it into an anti-Israel demonstration. She accused the dean's wife of assaulting her after she was asked to leave the dean's home. The controversial protests in US campuses are organized by branches of the far-leftist group Students for Justice in Palestine (SJP), which is funded by non-profits connected to Soros. Soros, who is Jewish, was born György Schwartz in Hungary, and survived the country's Nazi occupation. Tensions continue to escalate at the Columbia, where hundreds of pro-Palestine protesters are demanding that the institution divest from companies with ties to Israel. So far, more than 100 demonstrators have been arrested at the 'Gaza Solidarity Encampment', which is comprised of a coalition of 116 groups under the umbrella organization Columbia University Apartheid Divest. Several of the groups in the coalition have received backing from left wing donors, including one group currently under investigation for allegedly fundraising for terrorist organizations. One of the key players in the coalition is Students for Justice in Palestine (SJP), which the Gazette reports came out in support of the October 7 attack which killed 1,200 Israelis. SJP receives funding from American Muslims for Palestine (AMP), according to the Anti Defamation League, which describes AMP as holding 'extreme anti-Israel views'. Last year, Virginia's Attorney General Jason Miyares announced his office was investigating AMP over allegations they may have been fundraising for terrorist organizations. SJP is also an offshoot of the Westchester People's Action Coalition which supports Boycott, Divestment and Sanctions, the Green New Deal, and other left-wing initiatives. WESPAC is named as a 'fiscal sponsor' of SJP, according to NGO Monitor and has assets over $1,000,000. Several of the groups members are among those who have been barred for participating in the sit in. Another central player in the encampment is Jewish Voice for Peace, which has received millions from various donors including George Soros's Open Society Network. Since 2016 the group has netted at least $650,000 from Soros-backed organizations. Other donors have included the Rockefeller Brothers Fund, whose director, Nicholas Burns, resigned in 2017 over its support for JVP. Both JVP and SJP have been involved in solidarity protests across other universities including NYU, Yale, MIT and Harvard. Columbia canceled in-person classes, dozens of protesters were arrested at New York University and Yale, and the gates to Harvard Yard were closed to the public Monday as some of the most prestigious U.S. universities sought to defuse campus tensions over Israel's war with Hamas. Columbia University Apartheid Divest states on its website that it represents thousands of students across nine schools. Other groups which make up the coalition include Young Democratic Socialists of America, Columbia Queer and Asian, the African Students Association, Columbia University Students for Human Rights and the Teachers College Abolition Collective. The coalition began the sit in following Columbia president Minouche Shafik's testimony before Congress about anti-Semitism on campus. The stunt entered its seventh day today and has already seen billionaire donors including Robert Kraft pull their funding and earned condemnation from the White House. The coalition's three demands center around divestment all of Columbia's finances, including that profit from 'Israeli apartheid, genocide and occupation in Palestine', severing all ties with Israeli universities and an opposition to 'to land grabs, whether in Harlem, Lenapehoking, or Palestine'. The group is seeking a ceasefire on Gaza, where more than 34,000 Palestinians have been killed in retaliatory strikes by Israel.

I need to double check the script from that specific scene to make sure there are no spelling/grammatical errors before I can provide a reaction.

Not sure I get the joke. Is this a self-portrait?

I'll certainly agree with you on that one Brandon.

Can you please provide details about this low cost HS education? Also besides tuition have you also payed for travel teams, workshops, camps, personal coaches/training, etc. for your two children in your quest for an athletic scholarship? And what colleges/universities that cost $250k for A 4-year degree are offering your children athletic scholarships?

He actually has 3 rings. 2 sport star. They are shiny. Daughter will probably end up with 3 as well. Both will get to play college sports on someone else's dime. $500k worth of free college education for my kids for just a few years of high value, low cost HS education. I’m like the Warren Buffet of choosing High Schools. I’m done with this subject. You clowns bore me.

Some people take themselves way too seriously and overestimate their own importance. Couldn’t imagine logging on here daily and not being able to take a joke while playing wordsmith/spelling bee moderator.

Compelling as well - Where were all these left-wing protesting nuts when Russia invaded Ukraine?

So am I

I lived and worked in Chicago for over 20 years and hate this idea. But sadly, I don't think it will go to a ballot as Johnson, Pritzker, and the McCaskeys will make sure it happens. The Bears need to focus on pitting a good team on the field first.

That would also help.

ONE WORD - (Two words) Term Limits

Sneak peak at Lambeau Field next year: bkewkys1anwc1.mp4

Just south of Decatur (Home of 2008 3A Champions Bellmont) is Adams Central in Monroe (2000 1A State Champs & 2021, 2022, & 2023 1A runner ups). South Adams is in Berne ( 1A runner ups in 2020) just south of Monroe.

I wasn't sure if it was a Frankfort, Gibson Southern, or Heritage Hills fan.

Adams Central is 2A now 🙂

Massive cuts in federal spending, in every agency/department/bureau/etc. across the board. I recently read that of every dollar the federal government spends, something like 32 cents of it is borrowed money. So a 32% cut in federal spending sounds about right.

I may have to try the next time I’m over at Louisville or if we get thrown into Sectional 32

So, what is the answer? Argentina?

You'll either love it or hate it. No in between.. LOL. You ever seen a Sky Line dog without being smothered in chili? I don't think I could eat one plain..

A waste of a good hot dog *immediately logs off*

rodney does not bet on 1a football also i cannot pinpoint you on a map

Lol, there ya go.

What did they expect the result of pumping trillions of new printed dollars into the economy would be? Econ 101, it tends to make the value of all currency less, reducing spending power and raising prices. Also: https://reason.com/2024/03/21/emergency-spending-is-out-of-control/
