The Faculty of Columbia University Votes "No Confidence" In the Dean.
Not For Allowing the Illegal Encampments for Weeks.
But for Calling the Cops to Finally Clear the Camps Out.
Before getting to that, an update to the last post.
If you somehow missed the hot congressional mess, check out this video.
Babylon Bee says what everyone was thinking.
And, in case you missed it, Little Miss Thing is now even having a hissy-fit at John Fetterman. From redridinghood:
Senator John Fetterman
@SenFettermanPA
In the past, I've described the U.S. House as The Jerry Springer Show.
Today, I'm apologizing to The Jerry Springer Show.

"House committee meeting devolves into chaos as Greene and Ocasio-Cortez trade barbs"
Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez
@AOC
I understand you likely would not have stood up for your colleague and seem to be confused about racism and misogyny being a "both sides" issue.
But I stand up to bullies, instead of becoming one.
And to the women of Pennsylvania: I'd stand up for you too.
Enjoy your Friday.
Back to our regularly scheduled post.
Cut. Them. Off.
These are leftwing indoctrination camps -- the public should not be funding these pits of ignorance and hatred. These schools are not for all Americans; they are for a small cadre of Marxist revolutionaries.
Cut the off. Not one more dime. You can agitate for revolution, but when you've got a gun to the taxpayers' head, forcing them to fund your revolution.
Faculty members of Columbia University's School of Arts and Sciences supported a motion of "no confidence" against president Minouche Shafik on Thursday as the university continues to grapple with the fallout of a tumultuous few weeks on campus brought on by anti-Israel protests.
Sixty-five percent of the 709 faculty members who cast a vote supported the motion, which was introduced by faculty who serve on the board of Columbia's chapter of the American Association of University Professors. Twenty-nine percent voted against the motion while another 6 percent abstained, according to the Washington Post.
The motion centers on Shafik's decision to call in the New York Police Department last month to clear out an encampment of anti-Israel protesters at the university without first speaking with the university senate.
"The President's choices to ignore our statutes and our norms of academic freedom and shared governance, to have our students arrested, and to impose a lockdown of our campus with continuing police presence, have gravely undermined our confidence in her," the motion reads. "A vote of no confidence in the President is the first step towards rebuilding our community and reestablishing the University's core values of free speech, the right to peaceful assembly, and shared governance."
I assume the vote carries no actual weight, because no one's talking about her stepping down or the like.
One advantage we have in our struggle against these violent-minded barbaric revolutionaries is that, it turns out, they are all pussies and weaklings. Sam J. at Twitchy brings this delightful tale of the #PrincetonResistance.
The last time we checked in with these valiant revolutionaries, they were doing Fasting Relays, passing the Hunger Strike Baton to the next intermittent faster because they didn't want to risk the LETHAL DANGER of going without food for 10 days.
Now they demonstrate a whole new level of conspicuous bravery:
Also see this series of tweets: When the school forbade them from erecting tents, these hardened warriors of liberation complained that the school wasn't checking their vitals and that they might die due to exposure to the elements due to being "immunocompromised" !
Every single one of these losers has six different mental illnesses and three different physical disabilities (usually of the hard-to-diagnose-or-confirm variety).
I will give anything, including my very life, for the sake of our glorious revolution.
But I do have tickets to see Laser Taylor Swift at the Hayden Planetarium tonight, so I would like to duck out early....
The mayor of Newport Beach, CA, decided he'd had enough of pro-Hamas Colonizers at the UC Irvine campus and had them arrested.
That's the O.C.
The Irvine police refused the clear them out -- that town is run by an antifa-type mayor -- but the Newport Police kicked the Stinkies out.
Another mental patient pretending her acting up is for a noble purpose. Watch that -- and you tell me she should be anywhere near students of any age.
