Our best and our brightest gather in these places.

"Jonathan Cahn, in his book,Return Of The Gods , along with Letter to the American Church by Eric Metaxas, are but two additional “voices crying in the wilderness” (or “watchmen on the wall,” if you will) who are trying desperately to shake Christians from their slumber." Andrea Widberg

Even jaded people won’t believe why MIT didn’t suspend or expel threatening pro-Hamas students - Andrea Widberg  . . ."Just to set the stage, MIT is one of America’s most reputable institutions. Indeed, even as leftism swept one campus after another, especially in the Ivy Leagues, people thought, “Well, MIT is a STEM school. Surely those brilliant geeks won’t fall prey to woke madness.” But a little bit here and a little bit there…stories started leaking out. (E.g., climate madnessgender madness, and cancel culture.) Antisemitism was in the mix, and I say this because I knew a family that was deeply damaged by an antisemitic attack. But still, it wasn’t as bad as Harvard, Yale, or other schools.

"Still, MIT is an American university, so it’s going to be leftist, and leftists support nasty ideas. That’s why I didn’t report on this story, which seemed too sadly common:. . .

Campus Reform | IN THE NEWS: Report reveals identities, contact info of pro-Hamas Harvard leaders  "A Tuesday report from Townhall details the leaders behind the widely-condemned Harvard University student group joint statement asserting that Israel is “entirely responsible for all unfolding violence” following Hamas’ weekend attack.

All of a piece with the loathsome statement from White House Dissembler Karine Jean-Pierre, diverting from the Hamas slaughter to persecution of Muslims.


Campus Reform | Board member resigns from Columbia over university's 'moral cowardice': report   "Henry Swieca has resigned from the Board of Columbia Business School. He accuses the Ivy League institution of being “significantly compromised by a moral cowardice that appears beyond repair.” . . .

“The recent Hamas pogrom, including the torture, rape, and destruction inflicted upon thousands of innocent Israeli civilians, was deeply revolting to me, as it should to all decent people. Statements from the University are meaningless when pro-Hamas students march on campus yelling slogans calling for the complete destruction of Israel – that’s exactly what is meant by ‘from the (Jordan) river to the (Mediterranean) sea.’ This is abhorrent,” Swieca continued. “Any other minority group on campus would never have to face anything close to this level of intimidation and hatred as Jewish and pro-Israel students experience.”

The question is not whether you should condemn Hamas for raping you[r] women, kidnapping the elderly, and murdering and mutilating babies. The question is when and how. The answer is simple: RIGHT NOW and UNEQUIVOCALLY.
