HARVARD President’s CHILLING Warning: White House Wants to Control Who Gets In
— Harvard President Alan Garber says the Biden White House is trying to take charge of who gets hired and admitted at the school. He warns this could limit what people are allowed to say on campus. Garber told NBC’s Lester Holt that Harvard is standing up for American universities, which he says are important for our economy and way of life. He was asked how much pressure Harvard can handle from Washington. Garber said they cannot give up on protecting free speech. He admitted he isn’t sure if Harvard can win this battle, but said the stakes are too high to walk away now. For years, conservatives have called out elite schools like Harvard for pushing one-sided views and shutting out other voices. Now, with possible government control in play, many worry things could get even worse.
HARVARD SUBWAY Shooting Panic: Shelter-in-Place Order Shakes Campus
— A shooting on a Boston subway platform near Harvard University sent shockwaves through the campus Sunday. Harvard officials quickly told students and staff to shelter in place as police searched for the gunman.
Transit police say a man fired four or five shots at someone he targeted on the southbound platform at Harvard Square station, then ran away. Thankfully, no one was hurt, according to transit police superintendent Richard Sullivan.
The chaos forced subway riders onto shuttle buses while officers from several departments searched the area around the busy station. The location is right next to Harvard’s main campus in Cambridge.
Police lifted the shelter-in-place order later that afternoon after deciding there was no longer a threat to students or staff. The suspect remains at large as investigators continue their search.
TRUMP’S Bold Harvard Threat Ignites Fury as Political Violence Surges
— Former President Donald Trump is taking a hard stand against Harvard University. He wants to strip its tax-exempt status and freeze $2.2 billion in federal funds unless the school ends DEI programs and works with immigration officials. Barack Obama called Trump’s plan “unlawful,” but many conservatives see it as a needed pushback against elite institutions. In Pennsylvania, Governor Josh Shapiro’s home was set on fire in an arson attack while his family was inside. This comes after last year’s attempt on Trump’s life, raising alarms about growing political violence across the country. The suspect in the arson case was let out on bail despite a violent past, leading many to question law enforcement choices. Meanwhile, France is facing its own political storm. Marine Le Pen, leader of the far-right movement, has been convicted of embezzlement and banned from running for president until 2030. Le Pen says she is being targeted by her opponents to keep her out of power. Americans are worried about rising crime and chaos in their cities. National Guard troops have been sent into areas hit by youth crime and violence. The nation remains divided over issues like immigration policy, abortion laws, transgender rights, and how federal money should be spent — all while political tensions keep rising.
TRUMP’S Trade WAR: A Global Financial Nightmare?
— The Bank of England warns of a looming global financial crisis due to Donald Trump’s trade war. The Financial Policy Committee (FPC) pointed out risks from new global tariffs introduced on April 9. These tariffs have increased uncertainty in world markets, possibly leading to debt spirals for governments.
The UK, with its open economy and large financial sector, is especially vulnerable to shocks from international trade conflicts. Rachel Reeves, the Chancellor, confirmed ongoing talks with the Bank’s Governor to watch market developments amid these tensions.
Trump’s threats of more tariffs on China could escalate the conflict and harm international cooperation. Such actions may worsen financial conditions worldwide, according to the FPC’s warning note.
Despite these worries, analysts believe that the well-capitalized UK banking system might offer some protection against economic turmoil. However, watching trade war developments remains crucial as they could greatly impact both local and global markets.
TRUMP’S Bold "Last Warning" to Hamas Over Hostages
— Former President Donald Trump issued a stern warning to Hamas about releasing Israeli hostages. He stated that civilians in Gaza would face serious consequences if hostages were held.
The talks, first reported by Axios, are happening in Qatar. These discussions aim to secure the release of U.S. hostages and explore a broader agreement to end the conflict.
This development highlights significant international news beyond usual UK and US headlines. Trump’s comments emphasize his strong stance on foreign policy issues involving American citizens abroad.
RUBIO SOUNDS Alarm on Russia-China Threat
— Senator Marco Rubio is sounding the alarm about Russia’s growing reliance on China. He warns this could lead to two nuclear powers uniting against the United States. Rubio stresses that U.S.-China relations will shape the century and highlights the need for diplomatic ties with both nations. A permanent Russia-China alliance, he says, threatens global stability and American interests.
While in Panama, Rubio convinced its government to leave China’s Belt and Road Initiative. He stressed the Panama Canal’s strategic importance for U.S. trade and voiced concerns over Chinese control of key ports there. Criticizing past decisions that let China gain influence in this vital region, he called for pro-American partnerships in Latin America.
Rubio praised President Trump’s efforts to counter China’s global influence through projects like the India-Middle East-Europe Economic Corridor (IMEC). This initiative aims to create new trade routes, reducing dependence on China’s economic power. Trump’s strategy strengthens alliances worldwide, especially where Chinese debt diplomacy is a threat, ensuring America’s interests are protected globally from a strong position.
TRUMP’S Bold Moves Shake UP America And The World
— President TRUMP has unveiled a plan to involve local police in immigration enforcement. This reinforces his tough stance on immigration and could affect community relations, especially in areas with many immigrants. Critics say it might strain police resources and heighten tensions.
The Trump administration has labeled diversity, equity, and inclusion (DEI) policies in university research grants as “illegal.” This decision raises concerns about political meddling in academic funding. Researchers worry it could stifle diversity and innovation in academia.
A federal judge stopped Elon Musk’s team from accessing sensitive U.S. Treasury records related to his cryptocurrency ventures. The ruling underscores worries about corporate influence over government oversight. Meanwhile, TRUMP halted Biden’s classified intelligence briefings, calling it “payback,” disrupting national security norms.
Trump’s order freezing aid to South Africa responds to a land reform law criticized for potentially taking land from white farmers without compensation. His withdrawal of support for transgender minors in a Supreme Court case is drawing backlash from LGBTQ+ groups and inspiring similar actions by GOP-led states. Canadian Prime Minister Justin Trudeau warns that Trump’s annexation comments are a national security threat, reflecting growing international tensions as Trump’s policies provoke strong reactions both at home and abroad.
TRUMP’S FAA Shake-Up: A Shocking Move or Necessary Change?
— A tragic incident in the Potomac River has put the Trump administration under scrutiny. Critics argue that President Trump’s focus on DEI might distract from urgent issues, just ten days into his presidency. A congressman quickly pointed fingers, suggesting this could be a diversion from more pressing matters.
Concerns have been raised over Trump’s delay in appointing an acting FAA administrator after the previous one resigned due to conflicts with Elon Musk. Additionally, Trump fired leaders of the TSA and Coast Guard without naming immediate replacements, sparking worries about aviation security. The Aviation Security Advisory Committee also saw members dismissed despite its long-standing role since the 1980s.
Phillip highlighted that air traffic controllers might resign and accept buyouts offered by Trump without a replacement plan in place. She described Trump’s press conference as shocking yet predictable, criticizing its timing amid ongoing grief and uncertainty about the incident’s cause.
The conversation also touched on disability hiring policies and whether Trump’s remarks shift responsibility onto individuals at the FAA. Phillip stressed that while personnel changes are within presidential rights, having replacements ready is crucial for maintaining essential operations like air traffic control.
TRUMP’S Bold Return: Global Alliances Shaken
— President Donald Trump has re-entered the White House, quickly overturning Biden-era policies and pulling out of major international agreements. His actions have left global partners unsure about their standing. Allies and adversaries are closely watching how Trump’s second term will unfold on the world stage.
In his first 100 hours, Trump signed executive orders, including one labeling Mexican cartels as foreign terror organizations. Italy’s Prime Minister Giorgia Meloni met with Trump at Mar-a-Lago and attended his inauguration, supporting his push for increased NATO defense spending. Meloni is seen as a key EU contact amid fears of a potential trade war with Europe under Trump’s leadership.
Hungary’s Prime Minister Viktor Orban, a long-time ally of Trump, expressed excitement for Trump’s return to office but missed the inauguration due to scheduling conflicts. Orban sees this as an opportunity to challenge what he calls Brussels’ "left-liberal oligarchy.
Argentina’s President Javier Milei seeks stronger U.S.-Argentina relations under Trump’s presidency.

— The heads of the CIA and MI6 have issued a stark warning about global threats. They highlighted the war in Ukraine, sabotage in Europe, and rising tensions with China. “We saw the war in Ukraine coming,” they stated, emphasizing their role in alerting the international community.
They are actively working to disrupt Russia’s sabotage campaigns across Europe and address escalating conflicts like the Israel-Gaza situation. Counterterrorism efforts against ISIS are also a priority. The intelligence chiefs stressed that global stability is under threat like never before since the Cold War.
China’s rise is identified as the main geopolitical challenge of this century, prompting both agencies to reorganize their priorities accordingly. Russian intelligence activities were described as reckless, with recent incidents of sabotage and arson attacks on infrastructure in Europe being attributed to Moscow’s covert operations.;
COLUMBIA UNIVERSITY President Quits Amid Campus Chaos
— Columbia University President Minouche Shafik resigned Wednesday after a brief, tumultuous tenure. Her resignation follows heavy scrutiny over her handling of protests and campus divisions related to the Israel-Hamas war. The Ivy League school faced intense student demonstrations, leading to police intervention and clashes.
The announcement comes days after three Columbia University Deans resigned for exchanging disparaging texts about Jewish life and antisemitism. Shafik was criticized by Republicans in Congress for not adequately addressing antisemitism concerns on campus. She began her role in July last year but announced her resignation just weeks before the new semester starts on Sept. 3.
In an emailed letter, Shafik mentioned progress in important areas but admitted it was difficult to overcome divergent views within the community. She cited the toll on her family as a reason for stepping down, believing it would help Columbia navigate future challenges better. The university has started restricting campus access to curb potential disruptions as classes resume soon.
HARRIS ENTERS 2024 Race: National Security Fears Rise
— Kamala Harris has entered the race for the White House following President Biden’s announcement that he will not seek re-election. This sudden shift has raised alarms among national security experts who worry that adversaries like Russia, China, and Iran may exploit the “chaos” to their advantage.
These nations have shown little outward reaction to Biden’s withdrawal, but concerns remain high about potential changes in U.S. force posture abroad. Kremlin spokesperson Dmitry Peskov mentioned that Moscow was “not very surprised” by Biden’s decision and emphasized Russia’s focus on its military operations in Ukraine.
With four months until the elections, much can change, making it crucial for America to stay vigilant and monitor developments closely. The Democratic Party now faces the challenge of building a strong platform against Republican candidate Donald Trump amid these geopolitical tensions.
HARVARD Student’s BRAVE Stand Against Antisemitism at RNC
— Shabbos Kestenbaum, a Harvard student, spoke at the Republican National Convention in Milwaukee about the antisemitism he faced on campus. He revealed that anti-Israel and anti-American students openly called for Hamas-style attacks against the U.S., with no action from Harvard’s administration.
Kestenbaum criticized Harvard for not condemning Hamas’s atrocities, including the murder of 45 American citizens and taking 12 hostages on October 7. Once a Bernie Sanders supporter, he now believes the far-left has abandoned both Jewish and American people.
He declared that the Democratic Party is ideologically poisoned and that this poison has spread to America’s youth. Kestenbaum expressed his support for President Trump’s policies to expel foreign students who violate laws and harass Jewish classmates, receiving cheers from the audience.

MIT ISSUES Ultimatum: Pro-Palestinian Students Face Suspension
— MIT Chancellor Melissa Nobles has declared the pro-Palestinian encampment at MIT a policy violation. Students have been ordered to vacate by 2:30 p.m. or face immediate academic suspension. This move is part of a broader trend of universities taking action against such encampments nationwide.
Chancellor Nobles stressed MIT’s commitment to free expression but stated the necessity to end the encampment for community safety. Despite multiple discussions with encampment leaders, no resolution has been reached, leading to this decisive action from the administration.
Students who comply with the evacuation order by the deadline will avoid sanctions from MIT’s Committee on Discipline, provided they are not under current investigation or have held leadership roles in the encampment. This serves as a final warning to those involved in violating campus policies.
The situation underscores ongoing tensions on college campuses regarding Middle East politics and raises questions about finding a balance between free speech and institutional rules.
WHITE HOUSE Slams Dangerous Antisemitic Campus Protests
— White House deputy press secretary Andrew Bates spoke out against recent protests at universities, emphasizing America’s commitment to peaceful protest while strongly condemning acts of violence and intimidation against the Jewish community. He described these actions as “blatantly Antisemitic” and “dangerous,” declaring such behavior unacceptable, particularly on college campuses.
Recent demonstrations at institutions like UNC, Boston University, and Ohio State have stirred significant controversy. These protests are part of a broader movement seen at Columbia University where over 100 students rallied for the university to sever financial ties with companies associated with Israel. The events have led to heightened tensions and several arrests.
At Columbia University, an encampment was established to show support for Palestine, resulting in multiple arrests including Isra Hirsi, daughter of Rep. Ilhan Omar (D-MN). Despite facing legal challenges, the encampment expanded as protesters added more tents throughout the weekend. This surge in activity prompted Bates’ statement amid growing concerns over campus safety and decorum.
Bates reiterated the importance of upholding free speech while ensuring that protests remain peaceful and respectful. He underscored that any form of hatred or intimidation has no place in educational environments or anywhere else in America.

WHO Chief SOUNDS Alarm on ‘Disease X’: The Inevitable Threat We’re Not Ready For
— World Health Organization (WHO) Director-General, Tedros Ghebreyesus, has issued a stark warning about the looming threat of “Disease X”. Speaking at the World Government Summit in Dubai, he stressed that another pandemic is not just likely — it’s inevitable.
Tedros, who accurately predicted a similar outbreak in 2018 before COVID-19 hit, criticized the world’s lack of readiness. He dismissed any doubts that his call for a global treaty by May was simply an effort to expand WHO’s influence.
Tedros labels the proposed treaty as “mission critical for humanity”. Despite some advancements in disease surveillance and vaccine production capabilities, he maintains that we are still ill-prepared for another pandemic.
Reflecting on COVID-19’s severe impact, Tedros underscored the urgency of addressing this issue. The world is still wrestling with social, economic and political aftershocks from the ongoing pandemic.
PENN PRESIDENT Steps Down: Donor Pressure and Congressional Testimony Fallout Takes Its Toll
— Under mounting pressure from donors and facing backlash over her congressional testimony, Liz Magill, the University of Pennsylvania’s president, has tendered her resignation.
During a U.S. House committee hearing on antisemitism in colleges, Magill was unable to confirm whether advocating for Jewish genocide would breach the school’s conduct policy.
The university announced Magill’s resignation late Saturday afternoon. Despite relinquishing her presidential role, she will retain her tenured faculty position at the Carey Law School. She will also continue to serve as Penn’s leader until an interim president is appointed.
Calls for Magill’s resignation amplified following her Tuesday testimony. She faced questioning alongside presidents from Harvard University and MIT regarding their respective universities’ inability to safeguard Jewish students amidst escalating global antisemitism fears and repercussions from Israel’s escalating conflict in Gaza.
PARAGRAPH 5: "When Rep. Elise Stefanik, R-N.Y., asked if “calling for the genocide of Jews” would violate Penn’s code of conduct, Magill responded that it would be a “context-dependent decision,” igniting further controversy.
UPenn President’s CAREER on the BRINK: Antisemitism Controversy Ignites Firestorm of Criticism
— University of Pennsylvania’s President, Liz Magill, finds her position teetering on the edge after a surge of criticism regarding her handling of antisemitism. Her job stability is now in doubt following an ill-received congressional testimony. University donors, bipartisan lawmakers, alumni, and Jewish groups have voiced their displeasure.
The Penn Board of Trustees is set to meet this Sunday at 5 p.m., where they may decide Magill’s future. The board faces the challenge of determining whether she can effectively lead and fundraise for the university amidst this storm since the October 7 attack on Israel.
Magill has faced mounting calls for resignation after failing to unequivocally state that calls for Jewish genocide are considered bullying or harassment under UPenn’s code during a congressional hearing. This lukewarm response has sparked widespread public outrage and demands for her stepping down.
Magill’s management of antisemitism has been met with severe criticism from Pennsylvania’s Democratic governor, the Wharton School board, and high-profile donors. One alumnus even threatened to retract a $100 million donation unless there is a shift in leadership.
EXPOSED: BIDEN and Elites’ Unsettling Alliance with China
— President Joe Biden’s recent actions have stirred up a storm of controversy. His apparent dismissal of the idea of “decoupling” from China is causing concern among conservatives. These revelations come from a new book, Controligarchs: Exposing the Billionaire Class, Their Secret Deals, and the Globalist Plot to Dominate Your Life.
The book suggests that global elites and politicians like Biden and California Governor Gavin Newsom are actively pushing for a closer resemblance between the U.S. and its Communist adversary. It alleges that these individuals view Beijing’s elites not as threats or rivals but as business partners.
Among those named in these claims are influential figures such as BlackRock’s Larry Fink, Apple’s Tim Cook, and Blackstone’s Stephen Schwarzman. These business leaders were reportedly present at a dinner honoring Chinese Communist Party Leader Xi Jinping where they stood in applause for Chairman Xi.
This revelation comes at a time when concerns over China’s influence on global politics are growing. It highlights the urgent need for transparency in dealings between American leaders and foreign powers.

TRUMP RIPS Harris as ‘Radical Left Lunatic’ in Fiery Rally
— Former President Donald Trump labeled Vice President Kamala Harris as “a radical left lunatic” during a recent rally, igniting political friction ahead of the 2024 election. His comments contrast sharply with Harris’ focus on national unity and democracy. This clash highlights the deep ideological divide between the two candidates.
The rally, held at an 18,000-seat arena, drew a massive crowd and showcased Trump’s strong supporter base. The event followed Robert F. Kennedy Jr.’s suspension of his presidential campaign and endorsement of Trump, potentially shifting voter dynamics in Trump’s favor.
Harris has accused Trump of avoiding debates out of fear, framing him as unwilling to face scrutiny. This adds tension to their rivalry as she positions herself as a stable and unifying figure compared to Trump’s combative style.
As election day approaches, political polarization intensifies with both candidates leveraging their platforms to galvanize their bases. Observers are closely watching how these dynamics will affect key voter blocs and swing states in this highly charged election season.
