Can’t distance herself from Biden in yet another policy flip-flop: ‘Everything about her campaign is fake’

Joseph Massad, a professor of modern Arab politics and history, has faced widespread calls to be fired ever since he referred to the Oct. 7 attack inflicted by Hamas terrorists as “awesome.”
Mohamed Abdou
Abdou was brought on as a visiting Columbia scholar for the spring 2024 semester and teaches a weekly class on “Decolonial-Queerness & Abolition.”
The bio on Columbia’s website describes Abdou as “a North African-Egyptian Muslim anarchist interdisciplinary activist-scholar of Indigenous, Black, critical race and Islamic studies, as well as gender, sexuality, abolition and decolonization.”
Just days after the Oct. 7 attack, Abdou controversially declared on social media, “Yes, I’m with Hamas and Hezbollah and Islamic Jihad.”
Franke, a law professor and activist, has been teaching at the school since 1999.
She was brought up during Wednesday’s hearing by Rep. Elise Stefanik (R-NY) for controversially saying, “All Israeli students who served in the I.D.F. [Israel Defense Forces] are dangerous and shouldn’t be on campus.”
It wasn’t immediately clear, though, where Franke made the remark.
Franke also recently penned an op-ed in The Nation criticizing Columbia, in part, for threatening academic freedom and “waging war on dissent.”
“The university is under pressure to root out any students or faculty critical of Israel — and it’s already caved,” the law professor wrote.
Dabashi is a professor of Iranian studies and comparative literature at the Ivy League school. He is also the current director of undergrad studies within the MESAAS department, per his faculty bio.
He’s come under fire in recent years for a slew of controversial social media posts, including a since-deleted one in which he blamed Israel for every “dirty” problem in the world.
“Every dirty treacherous ugly and pernicious happening in the world just wait for a few days and the ugly name ‘Israel’ will pop up in the atrocities,” Dabashi wrote in the 2018 Facebook post, cited by the Jewish Journal.
His remark was in response to a New York Times article that accused Israeli intelligence of gathering dirt on President Barack Obama’s then-national security aide.
In a separate post, Dabashi also allegedly bashed Zionists as “hyenas” – sparking calls from a pro-Israel student group for the professor to be rebuked.
Ahmed, a former-director at billionaire George Soros’ Open Society foundation, is now a law lecturer within Columbia’s school of public health, according to his bio.
He has previously been ripped for allegedly indoctrinating his students to hate Israel via his lectures, the Wall Street Journal reported.
After a tough summer at the ballot box for members of the so-called “Squad,” the group of progressive and diverse House Democrats is facing its final intraparty challenge on Tuesday as four states in the Midwest and New England hold primary elections.
DON SAMUELS
Rep. Ilhan Omar of Minnesota faces voters one week after her fellow Squad member, Rep. Cori Bush of Missouri, lost her bid for re-nomination and nearly two months after another Squad member, Rep. Jamaal Bowman of New York, fell to his primary challenger.
But Omar, who made history as the first Somali American in Congress and the first woman of color to represent Minnesota on Capitol Hill, is the favorite as she faces three primary challengers in the Democrat primary. Omar is seeking a fourth two-year term representing the Minneapolis-anchored 5th Congressional District.
Bush and Bowman faced well-funded challengers and millions in outside spending by United Democracy Project, a super PAC affiliated with the American Israel Public Affairs Committee. While Omar is also a very vocal critic of Israel, she hasn’t been targeted by any ads from the United Democracy Project.
And Omar is considered to be in a much better political position than she was two years ago when she narrowly defeated Don Samuels, who for a second straight cycle is her top challenger.
But Samuels, in an interview Monday on Fox News’ “America’s Newsroom,” said he’s seen a surge in his fundraising and in volunteers to his campaign in the week since Bush’s defeat. And he said Omar is “divisive and combative. She picks a side including, simply trying to divide her, her constituency, and ignores the other side.”
In 2019, the watchdog site GovTrack rated Kamala Harris “the most liberal” member of the Senate.
Look for that write-up now, however, and you find a “Page not found.” GovTrack deleted it.
A centrist Democrat has a better chance of winning the election, so a centrist she shall be.
But it doesn’t take much searching to find the real politician, not the Kameleon she presents.
Here are some of Harris’ beliefs that most Americans disagree with, and the press is so desperate to hide:
Kameleon: “She would not ban fracking,” Harris’ campaign told Politico. “Trump’s false claims about fracking bans are an obvious attempt to distract from his own plans.”
The truth: Donald Trump’s claims were not false. During the 2020 presidential campaign, Harris said repeatedly she wanted to ban the gas and oil extraction method, which has become an economic lifeblood of Pennsylvania and other states.
“There’s no question I’m in favor of banning fracking,” she said during a CNN discussion.
Not only that: Asked if she also was in favor of banning offshore drilling, she said, “Yes.”
In 2016, Harris, as California attorney general, even sued the Obama administration over fracking approvals off the West Coast.
Kameleon: “Harris’ campaign also confirmed … that the vice president no longer supports a single-payer health care system,” wrote CNN.
The truth: That’s quite the 180 from the candidate in 2020 who was asked if you would be able to keep the health insurance you have under a Harris presidency.
“Let’s eliminate all of that,” she said. “Let’s move on.”


Tim Walz’s former military superior made claims that called into question the Minnesota governor’s conduct in the U.S. National Guard during a CNN interview.
During his interview with CNN, former Minnesota National Guard Command Sgt. Maj. Doug Julin appeared to bolster criticism that Walz abandoned the unit with his account of the former Guardsman going around him to leave the National Guard before his team went to Iraq.
KAMALA HARRIS’ TREATMENT OF STAFF UNDER SCRUTINY AS REPORTS OF POOR OFFICE CULTURE RESURFACE
In a statement recently given to Fox News, the Minnesota National Guard said that Walz’s unit was not given deployment orders to Iraq until July, and he had put his retirement papers in five to seven months prior to his retirement in May 2005.
Walz’s 24-year National Guard career has been heavily scrutinized since Vice President Harris announced him as her running mate. Critics have accused Walz of abandoning his unit just before it went to Iraq.
A clip of Vice President Kamala Harris from 2017 calling on “everybody” to be “woke” resurfaced on social media, sparking critics and conservatives to lambaste the official Democratic nominee as a “Communist functionary” who is “too radical” to serve as president.
“We have to stay woke. Like everybody needs to be woke. And you can talk about if you’re the wokest or woker, but just stay more woke than less woke,” then-Sen. Harris said in 2017 during Recode’s annual Code Conference, alongside philanthropist Laurene Powell Jobs, the widow of Apple co-founder Steve Jobs, during the conference.
The conference focused on issues such as immigration and the environment, including Harris speaking out against the Trump administration’s drug policies and immigration polices just moments ahead of her call on Americans to be “woke.”
THE CRIMINAL DREAM TEAM – DELEGATES DIDN’T GIVE THEM ONE VOTE – SMOKE FILLED BACK ROOM PUTSCH
Vice President Harris was mocked online for requiring campaign rallygoers to present a government-issued ID upon entry, despite the Democratic presidential nominee opposing voter ID laws.
Ahead of Harris’ rally alongside vice presidential running mate Minnesota Gov. Tim Walz in Arizona on Friday, her campaign sent out an email advising that only confirmed RSVPs will be admitted.
The email said those on the RSVP list must present a matching government-issued photo ID in order to be admitted to the venue, KTAR reported.

The protests began on April 17, 2024, when pro-Palestinian students established an encampment of approximately 50 tents on the university campus, calling it the Gaza Solidarity Encampment, and demanded the university divest from Israel.
