  1.  @edwinarnold4865  I wonder if 'tube lets me cite cases. Well, I did, above.

  2. @SmokeNGunsBBQ  I don't like them at all, and that case was hard for me to swallow, BUT I accept it. I support First Amendment rights.

  3. The police action, you mean?

  4. @davidjohnson8218  Oh. Well, Glenn Greenwald is on the case tonight, coming up in about ten minutes. That should be interesting. He's one of many Jewish people who support the First Amendment with their whole hearts.

  6. Thank you, Batya. I don't even agree with you in every respect concerning the conflict, but you are 100% RIGHT ABOUT THIS. The mind virus is EXACTLY what prevents rational discussion about any issue, including most of all where human lives are at stake. I'm still shaken by October 7, and by the depraved response of some. I can't accept it. I can't accept a world devoid of ethics, and it's in our faces all the time.

  7. And you believed it? 😂😂😂😂😂

  8. Where? How? At least in New York, a big part of those protesting are Jewish, in some cases, most.

  9.  @rauminen4167  "Sounds about right?" Sheer nonsense, on both counts. What won't you believe? "They don't dare show themselves," and "no place for that in this interview??" Well, you've even contracted yourself. Can't you see that? YOU all are just parroting the same things in on this comments board without thinking. Oh the irony. If this "sounds right" to you, talk to someone, at least when something important to your own well being comes up. If you have ever been to Columbia University, or even to NYC, I would be shocked.

  10.  @nobuyukiakayama  Oh right. NO ONE at Columbia, one of the very finest universities in the world, respects free thought, free speech and free expression except this phony. Good thing she escaped North Korea to set Americans straight. Without her, we would never know. However critical I am of the US, I could never come close to what you apparently think of it. You blow my mind with your anti-Americanism. It's pathological.

  11.  @goeticfolklore  I know she's unreliable. Why the lemmings on this website don't see through it is anyone's guess. Maybe I'd rather not know.

  12. This puppet "thinks?" Um, I don't think so. Agree with your last line.

  13.  @DakarBlues  Of course.

  14. @jonathanfarley2023  Fine, but this goes far beyond the First Amendment argument. These politicians are misleading the people, to rake in contributions.

  15.  @JM-qn3tf  Yes it is. Try reading the Westboro Baptist Church case, for example. Or RAV v. City of St. Paul, or the seminal case of Brandenburg v. Ohio. RAV was a Scalia opinion, and Scalia joined the opinion on the flag-burning case, Texas v. Johnson. You could start with those four cases, or any one of them, and find out what the law is. As an American, don't you feel strange not knowing? Where's your pride?

  16.  @JM-qn3tf  You think people can burn a flag in symbolic protest, or display a swastika, or demonstrate at the funeral of a fallen service member, as long as they create no obstruction to attending the ceremony, but they can't object to American dollars financing a foreign war? How do you figure? Our First Amendment law is strong.

  17.  @johnwolf2829  So why would you support a fraud with a different story to monetize? Do you seriously think her story checks out? I'm not convinced. Consider A Million Little Pieces. Consider George Santos. Consider Anna Sorokin. (Consider the "babies ripped from incubators". That story was dangerous.) Every one of those people got something they wanted. The Russian girl ended up in prison, but now she's the subject of made-for-television series.

  18. It is very easy to find articles that dispute her story from nearly a decade ago, long before "woke" was a thing. Also, she'll be 30 this year. Exactly when did she go to Columbia, and in what program, only to discover that it's full of woke?

  20.  @Diablofeb4  thank you beat me to it LORD!!! What is with these people, meaning politicians and the press? Do they ever stop lying?

  21. We know the leadership of Harvard was a struggle between billionaires, Wexner and Ackman on one side, Pritzker on the other. 😂

  22. Maybe you shouldn't be so quick to believe her. She has been caught before not being quite "accurate." An immigrant comes to America, obtains her degree at one of the very finest private, Ivy-League universities, has nothing nuanced to say about it, only drops slogans about "woke," claims it is much like being in North Korea again (!), and you believe every word AND you think she is doing the United States a favor. No, she's doing her bank account a favor. That this stuff sells is a symptom of the troubled times we live in, not a solution. Columbia exists as such since the 1780s. Where is your pride? You've lost your skepticism and your pride -- that is "what is occurring in the US these days," and people are making bank for doing this to you. Just because you think she's on your side. Oh brother.

  23. @Michael James Astounding. Then they are all worse. No argument from me.

  24.  @jeffreybarker3819  Well then, if someone like Johnson knew how to work the Senate and get his legislation passed, then it should be a cinch for Trump. Right?

  25. Because once under oath in an official proceeding, he would have testified. He would not have invoked the Fifth Amendment. Did you forget that amendment?

  26.  @icecreamcheesesticks  Actually, that use of the word "smarter" is vague, but you appear to quantify it by using the phrase "orders of magnitude," thus creating the illusion of profundity -- which you imply you have and that others (such as OP) lack. Say. Are you a bot?

  27. Her story does not stand up to scrutiny. Well, that people jump to believe her is a symptom, too, of the post-truth world we live in. George Santos wasn't the first and won't be the last.

  28. More police like those in Uvalde. 🤪

  30.  @malovina  This is your example of imposed equality? In a country where a CEO makes 300 times the salary of the average worker, and a "mere" $10m bonus equals well over $1,100 per hour, for every hour of every day, 365/24/7? We have never had such concentrations of wealth, and in obviously unqualified hands. And ANY school, anywhere, lacks a physical education teacher, and has to beg? (You've noticed obesity and depression? Well guess what, sports help with that, especially after the COVID fiasco.) This woman is a perfect example of what makes money: producing propaganda makes money. In that way, it is a lot like the Soviet system.

  34.  @reformed7939  Can you be serious? Why would you want a FAKE to teach your youth anything? You don't think it could backfire? What do you know about what Columbia teaches? Why do you take her word? Columbia exists as such since 1784. Where is your pride? No wonder so many people fell for the COVID fear-mongering. The last thing you need is to oppose lies with more lies. It's still lying, and it pays too well.

  35. A Million Little Pieces. Three Cups of Tea. George Santos. Anna Sorokin. "Babies ripped from incubators." (That story was dangerous.) Yeah, send all of those people on a college tour. Just what we need.

  36.  @reformed7939  I did no such thing. So an immigrant comes to the US, obtains her degree at one of the very finest private, Ivy-League universities, has absolutely nothing nuanced to say about it, only drops slogans about "woke," claims it is much like being in North Korea again (!), and you believe every word -- AND you think she is doing the United States a favor. Where is your pride? Columbia exists since the time of Washington and Jefferson. She just got here. No, she's doing her bank account a favor. The fact that this stuff sells is a symptom of the troubled times we live in. Anyone who tries to call you to your senses gets accused of communism. How is that different from Rachel Maddow and company calling people Putin puppets? It is exactly the same. Only Rachel gets paid. They've got you doing it for free.

  37.  @reformed7939  So you need someone honest to criticize those who promote lying. Can you put that together, or is it too difficult for you? If she was so oppressed at Columbia, why didn't she transfer? If it reminded her of North Korea, that must have been excruciating, one would think, for someone who went through what she did. She could have gone to University of Chicago, or Princeton, or a state university, instead of feeding the beast with enormous tuition dollars. But she chose to stay. And now she has nothing whatsoever good to say about it, and you think that's just great. Where is your pride?

  38. I feel more embarrassed if we are falling for this story without verifying it.

  39. What do you know about what Columbia teaches? It exists as such since 1784. Why do you take her word? Where is your healthy skepticism? Where is your pride?

  40.  @vikinglife6316  If you care so much, I suggest you visit the campus. I suggest you examine some reading lists. I suggest you engage students in conversations and see what they say. Or, just believe the same people who lied to us about COVID, Iraq, etc., which includes all the major media organizations. Those vignettes do not demonstrate that she is telling the truth about being oppressed at Columbia. If this can pass -- if an immigrant can come to America, obtain her degree at one of the very finest private, Ivy-League universities, have nothing nuanced to say about it, only drop slogans about "woke," claim it was much like being in North Korea again(!) and you will believe every word -- then things are in a very bad way. No, she's doing her bank account a favor. The fact that this stuff sells is a symptom of the troubled times we live in, not a solution. She's claiming oppression, too. Columbia exists as Columbia since the 1780s. She just got here. Where is your pride?

  41.  @vikinglife6316  You "know" nothing of the kind. You believe it. If she was so oppressed there, why didn't she simply transfer? I mean, if it reminded her of North Korea, that must have been truly painful, no? Not to mention feeding the beast with the huge tuition dollars for four years. She could have tried to transfer to Princeton or U. of Chicago, or she could have chosen a state school and paid less for a poor education. More oppression Olympics, for fun and profit. She is playing people for fools.

  42.  @vikinglife6316  No they're not. Chicago isn't. Princeton isn't, to name two. It's more of an advertising slogan, subject to massive amplification by social media. The universities went along because of the outsized tuition they charge and the pressure to be more like businesses, which have no First Amendment rights for employees, are required to follow Title VII anti-discrimination laws, and exist to satisfy customers. I think Silicon Valley and mainstream media had much more to do with wokeism than the universities did. I think they still do. They want a certain kind of employee, and they are going to get it. At the universities, it is true that a lot of basically lazy, unqualified people were crawling all over one another to get tenure, because that has become harder and harder to achieve. A lot of them resorted to underhanded tactics, including being "more woke than thou." This has been true many times, and it is bad. Mary McCarthy wrote about it in Groves of Academe -- what? Some 70 years ago? Not new. A lot of people lack scruples, especially where money is concerned.

  43.  @GabrielleTollerson  I'll tell you why. Links are routinely shadowed. They are too hard to monitor for TOS violations. Start by thinking. Thinking is good.

  44.  @GabrielleTollerson  I had no trouble finding serious criticism of her stories, by knowledgeable people, from as long ago as 2014, before "woke" was a thing. Don't do what the wokesters do. Seriously, don't.

  46. ​@gemmster14 I don't know that case. If that's what happened, he should be freed immediately and, possibly, file a civil rights suit. I will look it up to see whether there was any plausible reason for government action against him. Apparently, and whatever the details, the First Amendment is fragile and that's not good. I like Nadine Strossen more every day.

  47. No clue. Once under oath, he would have exercised his right to remain silent, no?
    1
  48.  @galois022  Exactly. They forgot this tiny little thing called the RIGHT to REMAIN SILENT. I can't believe how easy it is to dupe people. No, without a blanket immunity, Congress could not "make him talk."

  49.  @musicdcguy1  What, exactly, do you think Congress can do? They cannot suspend the Fifth Amendment. This story is too ridiculous.
    1
  50.  @musicdcguy1  No he would not have. Once in the country and under oath, he would have invoked the Fifth.
