Colleges and universities that did not work to stop campus anti-Semitism will face consequences under the Trump administration and Republican-dominated Senate, Senator Joni Ernst told The Daily Wire.  “The new Senate Republican majority is going to work with the Trump administration to enforce the law in the face of campuses that have fanned the flames of hate through inaction,” the Iowa Republican told The Daily Wire. “Elite universities have made their bed, and they’ve got to lie in it, but not on the taxpayers’ dime.” Anti-Semitic incidents have increased by over 500% since Hamas’ October 7 attack on Israeli civilians. Ernst is one of several senators who have raised the alarm about the harm anti-Semitism has had on Jewish students. She says the Biden administration has repeatedly ignored her. “The Biden administration ignored my repeated calls for action and sat on its hands as anti-Semitic violence exploded on college campuses across the country,” said Ernst.  In contrast, President-elect Donald Trump has threatened both public and private universities with repercussions for enabling hatred and promoting a diversity, equity, and inclusion agenda.  “My first week back in the Oval Office, my administration will inform every college president that if you do not end anti-Semitic propaganda, they will lose their accreditation and federal taxpayer support,” Donald Trump said in a September speech. He added that Jewish Americans must have “equal protection” and that the United States government will not “subsidize the creation of terrorist sympathizers, and we’re not going to do it, certainly [not] on American soil.” “My first week back in the Oval Office, my administration will inform every college president that, if you do not end antisemitic propaganda, they will lose their accreditation and federal taxpayer support.” Donald Trump couldn’t be clearer “We will not subsidize the creation… pic.twitter.com/kRZXnDqQJ5 — Aviva Klompas (@AvivaKlompas) November 15, 2024 In May 2023, Trump outlined his plan to reform the college accreditation system, aiming to hold accreditors accountable in order to “reclaim our once great educational institutions from the radical Left.” “The accreditors are supposed to ensure that schools are not ripping off students and taxpayers but they have failed totally,” he said. “When I return to the White House I will fire the radical left accreditors who have allowed our colleges to become dominated by Marxist maniacs and lunatics.” He said he would direct the Department of Justice to pursue federal civil rights cases against schools engaging in radical discrimination, and will fine schools up to the amount of their entire endowment if they continue such policies. “And schools that persist in explicit unlawful discrimination under the guise of equity will not only have their endowment taxed, but through budget reconciliation, I will advance a measure to have them fined up to the entire amount of their endowment,” Trump said. The risk of repercussions is not just for public schools, as private schools often receive large amounts of government funding. Harvard University, which received $676 million in federal research funding in 2023 alone, is currently the subject of a bipartisan congressional investigation into campus anti-Semitism. Harvard is ranked fifth in federal funding among elite private schools, according to the Boston Globe, receiving $3.27 billion between 2018-2022. Stanford received the most at $7 billion, and Columbia University came in at second with $5.9 billion. Columbia University stands to lose up to $3.5 billion a year — up to 55 percent of its university’s operating budget — if such policies are enacted, The Free Press reported. Law professor Mark Goldfeder, who testified before Congress on campus anti-Semitism, said Trump’s plan has the ability to transform higher education for the better. “The President’s plan to reform higher education by taxing private university endowments that have been flooded with money from authoritarian middle eastern regimes, and using that cash flow to create a new nonpolitical American Academy that offers a world class education free of charge, is classic Trump,” Goldfeder said. Goldfeder pointed out that many of America’s top universities take money from or have associations with authoritarian regimes such as Qatar. Between 2001 and 2021, Qatar was one of the biggest donors to American universities, giving $4.7 billion, according to a 2022 study. Georgetown University alone received $870 million from Qatar since 2005. The Daily Wire previously reported on Georgetown hosting terrorist-linked speakers at a conference in September. “Trump is going to build a new ivory tower, and he is going to make Qatar pay for it,” Goldfeder added. The Daily Wire has also reported on Harvard partnering with Birzeit University, located near Ramallah in Judea and Samaria (also known as the West Bank), which could also spell trouble for the Ivy League. Birzeit is home to an overwhelmingly Hamas-affiliated student government and its chairwoman has denied Hamas’ brutality and rape on October 7. Birzeit University’s official account also called for “glory to the martyrs” days after the attack.  “Birzeit University has a well-documented history of discriminating against Jews and Israeli students, while welcoming suspected terrorists and Hamas supporters with open arms,” said Ernst. “Harvard University’s relationship with such an institution speaks to its shameful embrace of anti-Semitism. The American people deserve to know if Harvard has sent even a penny of the tax dollars it receives to this school that fuels hate and violence.”

Fingerprints collected by detectives at the scene of UnitedHealthcare CEO Brian Thompson’s assassination match the fingerprints taken of suspected killer Luigi Mangione, two law enforcement officials told CNN on Wednesday. The fingerprint match is the first forensic evidence reported that directly ties Mangione to the crime scene in Midtown Manhattan, CNN reported. Mangione was arrested on Monday in Altoona, Pennsylvania, after he was spotted by a person at McDonald’s who recognized him from photos circulated by the NYPD. When he was questioned by local police, Mangione allegedly showed them a fake New Jersey ID that matched the fake ID presented by a person of interest at a Manhattan hostel last month. Mangione was charged with firearm and forgery crimes in Pennsylvania and then slapped with a second-degree murder charge, along with more firearm charges, in New York. On Tuesday, his lawyer, Thomas Dickey, told a judge that Mangione is fighting his extradition to New York, starting a process that could last weeks as the suspect is entitled to an evidentiary hearing. Dickey requested the judge set bail, but the judge refused, and Mangione will be held behind bars in Pennsylvania during his extradition process. Mangione will plead not guilty to his charges in Pennsylvania, Dickey told reporters on Tuesday. The defense lawyer said he expects Mangione to plead not guilty to charges in New York and added that he would potentially represent the suspect there. “I haven’t seen any evidence that they have the right guy,” Dickey said Tuesday evening during an appearance on CNN. CHECK OUT THE DAILY WIRE HOLIDAY GIFT GUIDE Altoona police reportedly found that Mangione was in possession of a homemade firearm and suppressor. Both the gun and the suppressor were 3D printed, according to authorities. Surveillance video of the assassination appeared to show the killer using a handgun with a suppressor. Mangione was also in possession of a 262-page manifesto that raged against health insurance companies and specifically called out “United.” Mangione allegedly wrote in the manifesto, “To save you a lengthy investigation, I state plainly that I wasn’t working with anyone.” New York reserves the first-degree murder charge for killing for hire, killing a person in law enforcement, killing a witness, killing while serving a long sentence, and killing with torture, according to The New York Times. First- and second-degree murder convictions in New York can result in life in prison, but the minimum sentence differs from 15 years under second-degree murder to 20 years under first-degree murder. Mangione had to be restrained by sheriff’s deputies as he yelled at reporters as he was escorted to his extradition hearing on Tuesday. Some outlets reported that the suspect shouted, “It’s completely out of touch and an insult to the intelligence of the American people. It’s lived experience.” Other outlets reported that he yelled, “It’s completely an injustice …”

Actor Jim Carrey candidly revealed why he signed on to do the third installment of the “Sonic” franchise despite being semi-retired, saying his motivation had everything to do with money.  The 62-year-old actor made the revelation while speaking with the Associated Press at the “Sonic the Hedgehog 3” United Kingdom premiere on Tuesday. Carrey plays the movie’s villain, Dr. Robotnik. “I came back to this universe because, first of all, I get to play a genius, which is a bit of a stretch. And, you know, it’s just… I bought a lot of stuff and I need the money, frankly. Yeah,” Carrey said. The actor had previously said he didn’t want to continue working in Hollywood unless a perfect project came along. “I’m being fairly serious,” Carrey told Access Hollywood in 2022 while promoting “Sonic the Hedgehog 2.” He continued, “It depends. If the angels bring some sort of script that’s written in gold ink, that says to me that it’s going to be really important for people to see, I might continue down the road. But I’m taking a break.” Carrey also said he “really” likes his “quiet life” and painting. “I feel like — and this is something you might never hear another celebrity say as long as time exists — I have enough,” he said. “I’ve done enough. I am enough.” CHECK OUT THE DAILY WIRE HOLIDAY GIFT GUIDE AP asked Carrey about those remarks on Wednesday, to which he replied, “That might have been hyperbole.” That wasn’t the first time Carrey hinted at retiring from Hollywood. In 2018, he expressed his disdain for the industry while speaking with The Hollywood Reporter. “I didn’t like what was happening, the corporations taking over and all that,” he said. “And maybe it’s because I felt pulled toward a different type of creative outlet and I really liked the control of painting — of not having a committee in the way telling me what the idea must be to appeal to a four-quadrant whatever.” During that time, the actor worked as a political cartoonist, specifically focused on lambasting President Donald Trump. He quit that endeavor in 2021. The Canadian-American actor is best known for his over-the-top, energetic, and slapstick performances. Carrey became famous after being cast on the sketch comedy series “In Living Color” and went on to star in several box office hits, including “Ace Ventura: Pet Detective” (1994), “The Mask” (1994), “Dumb and Dumber” (1994), “Ace Ventura: When Nature Calls” (1995), “Batman Forever “(1995), “Liar Liar” (1997), “The Truman Show” (1998), “How the Grinch Stole Christmas” (2000), “Bruce Almighty” (2003), “Lemony Snicket’s A Series of Unfortunate Events” (2004), and “Yes Man” (2008).  The actor stopped doing as many films in later years but still co-starred in the “Sonic” franchise and a sequel to “Dumb and Dumber” in 2014.

When most people think of hitting things with a full head of steam, it isn’t a literal interpretation. When Tracey Monique posted a video of herself enjoying a football game on a cool evening, that is what everyone saw. The viral video shows a woman sitting in the stands with steam rolling off her head in visible waves. @theussun Shocking moment woman’s head starts steaming at football game ♬ original sound – The US Sun – The US Sun You can find the original post here. The video was taken and posted on October 29. In the background, a friend teases Tracey about the hot flashes while Tracey laughs along with the good-natured jeers. All she wanted at that moment was to eat her stadium food and watch the game. Tracey is completely (and beautifully) bald due to alopecia. She admits she is having a hot flash as a result of menopause or perimenopause. The steam rolling off her head is a wake-up call to everyone who thought their mom was joking. One commenter posted, “I gotta call my mom and apologize for making fun of her.” Tracey has been responding to as many comments as possible, and she answered, “Please do,” about calling Mom to apologize. Image from TikTok. Another commenter posted, “This should be in the menopausal handbook, so they know what we’re going through!” Unfortunately, there is no menopausal handbook. Many men don’t believe women about the severity of hot flashes. For the men in your life, please show them this video of steam pouring off Tracey’s head. According to a 2021 study at the University of California, hot flashes are the result of dropping hormone levels. The drops disrupt the body’s thermostat (the hypothalamus). This video visually shows a hot flash, and women everywhere are rejoicing about finally having proof. Please spread awareness by sharing. You can find the source of this story’s featured image here.
