MAGA thinks this won't hurt Americans. Wrong. Many poor American students are able to enroll for free BECAUSE many international students are able to pay full rates. This attack is petty, dictatorial, vindictive, and makes America stupider. AKA, MAGAs intent in orange fluffing.

The Trump administration revoked Harvard University’s ability to enroll international students in its escalating battle with the Ivy League school.

The DHS announced the action Thursday, saying Harvard has created an unsafe campus environment by allowing “anti-American, pro-terrorist agitators” to assault Jewish students on campus. It also accused Harvard of coordinating with the Chinese Communist Party, saying it hosted and trained members of a Chinese paramilitary group as recently as 2024.

“This means Harvard can no longer enroll foreign students and existing foreign students must transfer or lose their legal status,” the agency said in a statement.

Harvard enrolls almost 6,800 foreign students at its campus in Cambridge, Massachusetts, accounting for more than a quarter of its student body. Most are graduate students, coming from more than 100 countries. Harvard called the action unlawful and said it’s working to provide guidance to students.

“This retaliatory action threatens serious harm to the Harvard community and our country, and undermines Harvard’s academic and research mission,” the university said in a statemenThe dispute stems from an April 16 request from Homeland Security Secretary Kristi Noem. The letter demanded that Harvard turn over information about foreign students that might implicate them in violence or protests that could otherwise lead to their deportation.

Noem said Harvard can regain its ability to host foreign students if it produces a trove of records on foreign students within 72 hours. Her updated request demands all records, including audio or video footage, of foreign students participating in protests or dangerous activity on campus.

Here’s a hint: if you don’t, you’re probably not very bright 😆

"take the land” and “get it done" said President Cyril Ramaphosa.

It was first reported that Mr. Rampahosa had brought up the land seizures and had floated the idea of offering pardons to ANC aides willing to break the law, a suggestion he has made previously when exploring ways to fulfill his campaign promises. "Eminent domain is very interesting,” Mr. Ramphahosa said in a speech in January in Xhosa.

“But without eminent domain, you wouldn’t have any highways, you wouldn’t have any schools, you wouldn’t have any roadways."

Mainly for people appointed by Trump, and of course Trump himself. Why bother to have laws if they are only enforced against some people?

With the introduction of contraceptives and abortions having children is no longer a given in a relationship and has allowed for more freedom in some sense but has this freedom benefited or harmed us?

I created this meme example. It took me a while, but I think it conveys it well...

I think leftist radicalism really exploded during the Obama era forward.

What are your thoughts?

I bet I can name the adversaries here that vote Yes. I made extra room for you.

I know how it is. You talk about “saving the planet” while streaming six Youtube shows, hopping on a plane to a Tesla protest, or ordering an oat milk latte for home delivery.

But, hey, it's Ok as long as the delivery guy is poluting the atmosphere and not me, right?

Even the most devout of eco-warriors are neck-deep in Amazon boxes, lithium batteries, and Uber rides.

It’s hard to virtual signal when the charger itself is plugged into a coal-powered grid, isn't it?
