Minouche Shafik resigns as Columbia president citing ‘period of turmoil,’ ‘toll on my family’

“Columbia’s next leader must take bold action to address the pervasive antisemitism, support for terrorism and contempt for the university’s rules that have been allowed to flourish on its campus,” said Rep. Virginia Foxx.

Under Shafik’s leadership, Columbia’s campus became a place that Jewish faculty and students have said is rife with Jew-hatred and unsafe for Jews. In June, the Ivy League school in Manhattan settled a lawsuit with a Jewish student.

The House Education and the Workforce Committee has said that Columbia is refusing to turn over documents and is threatening to subpoena the school, and three Columbia deans recently resigned after exchanging text messages—which the university said “touched on ancient antisemitic tropes”—during an event about Jew-hatred on campus.

“During Shafik’s presidency, a disturbing wave of antisemitic harassment, discrimination and disorder engulfed Columbia University’s campus,” stated Rep. Virginia Foxx (R-N.C.), chair of the House education committee. “Jewish students and faculty have been mocked, harassed and assaulted simply for their identity. Every student has the right to a safe learning environment. Period. Yet, flagrant violations of the law and the university rules went unpunished.”

“Columbia’s next leader must take bold action to address the pervasive antisemitism, support for terrorism and contempt for the university’s rules that have been allowed to flourish on its campus,” Foxx said.

House Speaker Mike Johnson (R-La.) wrote that “as a result of president Shafik’s refusal to protect Jewish students and maintain order on campus, Columbia University became the epicenter for virulent antisemitism that has plagued many American university campuses since Hamas’s barbaric attack on Israel last fall.”

“I stood in President Shafik’s office in April and told her to resign, and while it is long overdue, we welcome today’s news,” Johnson said. “Jewish students at Columbia beginning this school year should breathe a sigh of relief.”

“We hope that President Shafik’s resignation serves as an example to university administrators across the country that tolerating or protecting antisemites is unacceptable and will have consequences,” he said.

“Three down, so many to go,” wrote Rep. Elise Stefanik (R-N.Y.), chair of the House Republican Conference and a member of the House education committee, referencing the resignations of the presidents of Harvard University and the University of Pennsylvania.

There is no place in modern America for any type of anti-Semitic behavior! I blame the radical teachings in our institutions of higher learning, especially those in the Ivy League. Marxist ideas are promoted and a pervasive hate America mantra is common. These schools do not prepare students for the real world, but a version that depicts America as the “woe of the world.” Rh

Nobodies are Somebodies in Christ

So, you consider yourself a nothing and a nobody? Regardless, you must not excuse yourself from the high calling of God on your life because you think you are a “nothing.” In God’s eyes, being a nothing is an improvement over “anyone [who] thinks he is something when he is nothing” (Gal. 6:3). Remember, God created the universe out of nothing.

We all have value. Find yours and make this world a better place. Who knows what could happen when we reflect the glory of God. Be salt, be light, be different than the world around you. Rh

‘Evangelicals for Harris’ Targets Conservative Christians with New Media Spot 

By David Brody CBN News

Let me just say this….if you are an Evangelical and you vote for Kamala, you need to repent. Flat out get to an altar. Rh

CBN News has learned that a newly formed group, Evangelicals For Harris, will drop their first media spot Wednesday in an effort to win over some “on-the-fence” Conservative Evangelicals in swing states who are lukewarm when it comes to Donald Trump.  

The videos will start on social media and eventually make their way to TV in certain swing states. Specifically, and most interestingly, Evangelicals For Harris will be targeting conservative Christian media websites. The group already has over 200,000 Evangelical Christians who have signed a pledge to volunteer and vote for the Harris/Walz ticket.  

Donald Trump won a hefty majority of the conservative evangelical vote. However, typically elections are won at the margins, especially in the seven key swing states. Evangelicals for Harris is using this strategy in hopes of eventual victory. If history has something to say, it may work. 
 
In 2008, Barack Obama received 26% of the White Born Again Evangelical Vote and won. In 2016, Hillary Clinton received 16% of the White Born Again Evangelical Vote and lost. In 2020, Joe Biden received 24% of the White Born Again Evangelical Vote and won. So if Kamala Harris gets 20% or more of the White Born Again Evangelical Vote, Trump could very well lose the General Election to Harris. 

Israeli General to CBN News: Israel Has No Choice but to ‘Attack with All Our Capabilities’

Chris Mitchell CBN News

JERUSALEM, Israel – Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu declared Sunday that Israel stands ready to defend itself against any enemy attack. There is also the possibility that the Israel Defense Forces will go on the offensive.

Netanyahu sees the situation as a seven-front war where Iran and its proxies are trying to strangle the Jewish state.

“Their visible aggression is insatiable, but Israel is not helpless,” Netanyahu said. “We are determined to stand against them on every front, in every arena, far and near. Anyone who murders our citizens, anyone who harms our country, will be held accountable. He will pay a very heavy price.”

Some anticipate Iran will launch a bigger attack than April 13th, when some 350 missiles and drones rained down across Israel, resulting in only minor damage.

The Alma Research Center in northern Israel estimates a combination of “ballistic missiles, cruise missiles, and UAVs from many sites in western Iran” could be launched.

U.S. Defense Secretary Lloyd Austin has dispatched a fighter squadron to the Middle East, and the head of the Central Command, General Michael Kurilla, is already here in the region.

Retired IDF General Amir Avivi tells CBN News Kurilla is expected to play a valuable role in helping coordinate a similar coalition effort that protected Israel in April.   

“It enables to really assist Israel to deal with all the different threats – whether it’s ballistic missiles, a UAV, and any other capability Iran might shoot at Israel or Hezbollah – and it increases dramatically the chances of really being able to secure Israel in the best way possible,” Avivi explained.

He added, “There is no 100 percent, but it definitely improves a lot – the chances of really dealing very well with most of the capabilities Iran and Hezbollah have.”

We asked the general about Hezbollah leader Sheikh Hassan Nasrallah’s threat that he may hit Tel Aviv or other civilian centers in Israel, and how Israel would respond if it happened.

Avivi replied, “If Hezbollah will shoot Israeli centers? This is a full-scale war. We have no other choice but to attack with all our capabilities. And I can tell you that Israel can inflict huge, huge damage on Hezbollah and also Lebanon. Overall, if (they would fire on) Israeli cities and infrastructure. Israel would destroy all the infrastructure of Lebanon, and they need to take that into account.”

‘Freaked out right now’: Kamala’s husband Doug Emhoff admits cheating on first wife after explosive report he got nanny pregnant

‘The incendiary news is said to be causing panic in Harris’ campaign’ WND correspondent Joe Kovacs

The revelation that Kamala Harris’ husband, Doug Emhoff, cheated on his first wife and got the family nanny pregnant is igniting an “incendiary” new chapter in the 2024 race for the White House.

Emhoff acknowledged his adulterous affair Saturday, after Britain’s Daily Mail broke the story.

“During my first marriage, Kerstin and I went through some tough times on account of my actions,” Emhoff said in a statement provided to CNN.

“I took responsibility, and in the years since, we worked through things as a family and have come out stronger on the other side.”

The nanny is identified as Najen Naylor, 47, who was a teacher at a a pricey private school for one of Emhoff’s children.

“I’m kind of freaked out right now,” Naylor told the Daily Mail when approached at her home in the Hamptons on Long Island, New York.

The British paper reported: “A close friend with direct knowledge of the affair and pregnancy told DailyMail.com that Naylor did not keep the child – though her social media shows a video of a mysterious baby girl named Brook in 2009, the year the baby would have been born.

“Another friend, Stacey Brooks, who mothered twin boys around the same time as Naylor was expecting, also did not deny any of the claims – but said she would not divulge further information without Naylor’s permission.

“The incendiary news is said to be causing panic in Harris’ campaign, just as she has overtaken Donald Trump in several polls and as she ramps up her final push to win over voters in November.”

“Emhoff, 59, and movie producer ex-wife Kerstin, 57, ended their 16-year marriage in 2009 when she discovered the affair, the sources said. Their daughter Ella was 10 and son Cole was 15 at the time.”

The degenerate possible democratic nominee and her family are a laughing stock. The sooner America rejects these evil people the better! God help us! Rh

Harris Stumps For The Gender Confused Vote With Appearance On Drag Show

Kamala Harris has thrown her hat into the drag race for president, making one of her first campaign appearances on a TV show glamorizing gender confusion.

Late last week, Harris appeared on “RuPaul’s Drag Race” to stump for the crossdresser vote. “Each day we are seeing our rights and freedoms under attack, including the right of everyone to be who they are, love who they love, openly and with pride,” Harris stated without proof. “So, as we fight back against these attacks, let’s all remember no one is alone.”

“We are all in this together,” said Harris, repeating the favorite lie of the 2020 lockdown’s supporters. “And your vote is your power. So, please make sure your voice is heard this November, and register to vote at vote.gov.” Presumably, Harris encouraged viewers to take time between Drag Queen Story Hours to help choose the leader of the free world.

“Can I get an amen?” asked one of the actors, mocking evangelical sermons.

“Amen!” the LGBT-identifying cast replied sacrilegiously. 

With her RuPaul cameo, Harris has become the first sitting vice president to appear on a drag show and to visit an abortion facility. When Harris’s supporters say, “Slay, Queen!” they mean the gender binary and the unborn.

As with much of Harris’s rhetoric, this appearance requires some translation. What “rights and freedoms” does she claim are under attack, and from whom? The Biden-Harris administration has strongly condemned state SAFE Acts protecting children from the predatory transgender industry. Harris has further castigated her opponents for allegedly supporting “book bans this year of our Lord 2024.” (Notice the recurring sacrilege.) 

By this, she means parents’ grassroots efforts to keep school bureaucrats from furnishing pornography to our minor children in taxpayer-funded schools. There are no laws preventing anyone from displaying agape love to others (which is chaste); in fact, a federal conscience ban prevents states from refusing to affirm same-sex unions, overturning state laws nationwide. (There are, of course, laws against pedophilia, whose practitioners the most extreme wing of the LGBTQIA+ movement has renamed “minor-attracted persons,” or MAPs.) 

However, the radical gender ideologues got the message loud and clear. “A Harris administration would not only uphold but also expand upon the” political agenda of “transgender Americans established by the Biden administration,” said Advocates for Trans Equality. Kamala Harris’s record has given them all the confidence they need to believe she stands with them.

In 2004, she officiated same-sex “weddings” as a San Francisco district attorney, after then-Mayor Gavin Newsom (D) ordered officials to ignore state law. She refused to defend Proposition 8, when California voters democratically defined marriage as the union of one man and one woman, and later worked to overturn that election in court. (So much for defending democracy.)

Harris backpedaled and blame-shifted one of her few decisions against the LGBTQ industrial complex, when the attorney general’s office opposed taxpayer-funded transgender surgeries for inmates. In 2019, while seeking the Democratic presidential nomination, she claimed the briefs had been written by an anonymous, subordinate staffer before saying she took “full responsibility,” as if she had ordered the British Navy into Gallipoli.

As the more committed ideologue of the Biden-Harris administration, she has guided the administration’s full-scale, “whole-of-government” embrace of LGBT extremism since 2021. Their administration has placed luggage-stealing trans-identifying people in sensitive government positions. It has boasted of rewriting Title IX to allow males inside female locker rooms, showers, and college dorm rooms. And it has threatened to withhold school lunch money from poor children if their districts refuse to comply.

Now, Harris has amplified her RuPaul appearance, posting behind-the-scenes footage on her personal social media accounts (which announce her pronouns as “she/her”) Saturday, ratcheting up millions of views. In fact, it is not even Harris’s first video with a drag queen. Last June 28, Harris met with a cross-dresser named Pattie Gonia, in the process quoting a Kylie Minogue song with as much authenticity as Hillary Clinton claiming to carry hot sauce in her bag. (At least, unlike other Biden-Harris administration videos featuring trans-identifying people, these drag queens remained fully dressed.)

Appearing on a drag queen show is virtually Kamala Harris’s first presidential campaign event — and if Harris believes anything, it is that “there is great significance in the passage of time.” It signals her priorities and the way she will govern if elected. The media usually agree. Yet Kamala Harris’s appearance drew virtually no media coverage. 

“If you think the Olympic opening ceremonies was weird… Check out where Kamala opened her presidential campaign this week,” stated American Greatness. “The border czar has visited RuPaul’s ‘Werk Room’ the same number of times she’s visited the border,” observed Washington Free Beacon reporter Chuck Ross. Otherwise, it has been met with crickets.

It seems significant that the specific part of “RuPaul’s Drag Race” that Harris visited is the “Werk Room” — a part of the show where people transform themselves into drag queens. Pat Buchanan once described the 1992 Democratic National Convention, when “liberals and radicals came dressed up as moderates and centrists” as “the greatest single exhibition of cross-dressing in American political history.”

In the coming days, Harris and her supporters will try to reinvent her, at least slightly, as a more moderate, centrist candidate, focused on the struggles of the middle class. Yet her first campaign stops have been to a teacher’s union and a drag show. By so doing, she is telling her base they are top of mind, and first in line to receive their rewards in the coming “Kamalot.” If you want to know who Kamala Harris will serve, just look at her campaign stops. The rest is just political cross-dressing.

In other words, she will continue the Democratic Party’s tradition of serving its voters’ interests — something Republican candidates might be well-advised to imitate.

Cackling Kamala would be a moral and governmental failure. She is by far the most Luciferian left wing nut job that has ever been nominatives for the highest office in the United States. Her policies are immoral at best and demonic at worst! If she is elected it will be the end of America as we know it. God help us! Rh
