Columbia University was roiled again by anti-Israel and pro-Palestinian and even pro-Hamas protestors Thursday in an uprising in New York they self-describe as the Arab Spring Break. You can spot the guys with terrorist ties on Arab Spring Break. They go wild whenever they see a wet T-shirt on a goat.

The DOJ sued Sheetz convenience stores in Philly for racial discrimination by weeding out job applicants with criminal backgrounds. Overall I'd say today's discrimination is less about race than about class or body shape. Lizzo was recently told to sit in the back of the bus, but that was to balance it.

The Hollywood Reporter says a movie satire is being made about the O.J. Simpson saga had he been innocent of the murder of his wife Nicole. Casting is underway. Owen Wilson turned down $12 million to play O.J.'s civil attorney but Peyton Manning has signed on to play the slow white Bronco.

Donald Trump announced during a courtroom break Thursday a huge rally at Madison Square Garden. His support seems to grow with each criminal charge. To counter Trump, I think Biden needs to admit that the cocaine found in the White House was his if he wants to get the public back on his side.

Fox News reports the pro-Palestinian protests spread to dozens of college campuses, expressing more mercurial anger toward Israel each day. This year's breed of street protestors reminds me of my ex-girlfriend. I could always tell what kind of mood she was in just by what she was throwing at me.

Bank of America was targeted for boycott by conservatives who accused B of A of de-banking people based on their political or religious beliefs. They know everything. I was withdrawing $100 at the ATM Friday and it asked me what denomination, so I said Episcopalian and out popped two free drink tickets.

Alec Baldwin kept cool on camera and didn't snap Tuesday when a New York street agitator demanded he condemn Jews and support Hamas. Imagine a situation where Alec is the sane one. He must be sick and tired of New Yorkers screaming and diving off the sidewalk every time he reaches for his phone.

President Biden signed a $95 billion foreign aid bill passed by the House and Senate Wednesday which provides military aid for Ukraine, Israel and Taiwan. I just received a phone call from my accountant today and I have to update my tax return. I now owe $36,648 to Ukraine, Israel and Taiwan.

The Supreme Court heard arguments over whether a president has immunity from prosecution or lawsuits from actions taken in office. I can just see the TV ads if they don't. If you were killed or injured in Iraq while seeking the Weapons of Mass Destruction, you may be entitled to compensation.

President Biden gave a funny speech welcoming the NCAA men's basketball champion U Conn Huskies to the White House. They had a victory luncheon. With all the talk about the Biden family and cannibalism this week, I hope it was just an accident the president served them A&W Papa Burgers.

The Wall Street Journal cited a study saying the Pendulum Effect will help Trump get elected in the fall election. The campaign rhetoric is way over the top, and it is not very well thought out. If Democrats keep referring to Trump as Hitler, the pro-Palestinian protestors will start wearing red hats.

Speaker Mike Johnson flew to New York Wednesday to speak to Jewish students at Columbia University. Mike blasted pro-Hamas protestors that terrorized Jews. Johnson had left a meeting of the House Republicans in Washington for the relative peace and quiet of Nazi street rioting in New York.
