I was afraid of this. The protestors now talking about disrupting the Dem convention, ala 1968. That may feel good in the moment for solidarity feels, but recall that it sealed Humphrey’s fate, and ours. The Vietnam war raged another seven years, and in many ways, the Dems have never recovered.

Actual words of Columbia's anti-Israel protest leader trash symptomatic 'free speech' media narratives for Pro-Palestine protests against Jews on campus.

Hamas terrorist sentiments exactly.

"After video surfaced on social media, the student, Khymani James, said on Friday that his comments were wrong."

It's "wrong" now that he's exposed, but that doesn't change his heart.

Remember Esau.

Nope. No "genocide in Gaza" going on, just war that when you graduate school you may someday understand is the way of the world. Of course Hamas terrorists who butchered people your age at a peaceful music festival love your naïveté.

Have said it over and over, time after time: politics is the bane of Christianity. Politics is not a feature of heaven. The wolf in sheep's clothing today is a politician in a pastor's suit.
