Very weak attempt at distraction. They shouldn’t have brought Obama into it knowing fully well that people on both sides won’t tolerate nonsense aimed at “no drama” Obama.

There must be retribution. The next Democrat Administration has been shown the playbook.
You can’t spend time figuring out which ICE or DHS agent was complicit. Follow the Trump playbook- FIRE everyone in ICE and DHS.
But alas, the DEMS claim righteousness because of the lack of balls and cohesion.

My take: Enough of the Sabre rattling and carnage tease. We need an end to the noise. These 2 parties should just go ahead and finish off each other so that we can truly have peace in that part of the world.
If they both have nuclear weapons, they should drop it on each other and end the madness.

Trump Officials Blame Mistake for Setting Off Confrontation With Harvard
An official on the administration’s antisemitism task force told the university that a letter of demands had been sent without authorization.

The administration demanded that Harvard implement significant reforms, including banning face masks at protests, revising speech policies, adopting merit-based admissions, and eliminating diversity, equity, and inclusion (DEI) programs. Harvard rejected these demands, asserting that they violated constitutional protections and exceeded lawful authority. In response, the administration froze over $2.2 billion in federal grants and $60 million in contracts to Harvard .

This move is part of a broader campaign by the administration targeting elite universities over cultural and political issues, such as pro-Palestinian protests and DEI initiatives. Other institutions like Columbia University have also faced funding cuts after accusations of mishandling antisemitic incidents .

Harvard’s resistance has garnered support from former university presidents and legal experts, who argue that the administration’s actions infringe on academic freedom and constitutional rights. The university’s stance may set a precedent, encouraging other institutions to resist federal overreach, although few have Harvard’s financial autonomy .

Critics assert that the administration is leveraging federal funding to push its political agenda and control campus policies, particularly in the context of recent student protests over the Israel-Gaza conflict. Some argue that claims of antisemitism have been weaponized against pro-Palestinian university campus demonstrations and boycotts of Israel .

The outcome of this standoff may shape the future landscape of academic freedom in the U.S.,…
