The U.S. Department of Education has notified the Middle States Commission on Higher Education (the “Commission”) that Columbia University is not in compliance with the Commission’s accreditation requirements.

From the DoEd Press Release:

The U.S. Department of Education’s Office for Civil Rights (OCR) today notified Middle States Commission on Higher Education (the Commission) that its member institution, Columbia University, is in violation of federal antidiscrimination laws and therefore fails to meet the standards for accreditation set by the Commission. Pursuant to President Trump’s Executive Order, Reforming Accreditation to Strengthen Higher Education, the Department has an obligation to promptly provide accreditors with any noncompliance findings related to member institutions.

The Commission’s “Standards for Accreditation and Requirements of Affiliation” state that “a candidate or accredited institution possesses or demonstrates … compliance with all applicable government laws and regulations.” In light of OCR’s determination, Columbia University no longer appears to meet the Commission’s accreditation standards.

“After Hamas’ October 7, 2023, terror attack on Israel, Columbia University’s leadership acted with deliberate indifference towards the harassment of Jewish students on its campus. This is not only immoral, but also unlawful. Accreditors have an enormous public responsibility as gatekeepers of federal student aid. They determine which institutions are eligible for federal student loans and Pell Grants. Just as the Department of Education has an obligation to uphold federal antidiscrimination law, university accreditors have an obligation to ensure member institutions abide by their standards,” said U.S. Secretary of Education Linda McMahon. “We look forward to the Commission keeping the Department fully informed of actions taken to ensure Columbia’s compliance with accreditation standards including compliance with federal civil rights laws.” ….

A 37-year-old Muslim man from Michigan who planned to “even the score” and use guns for “God’s wrath” after threatening Jewish preschoolers pleaded guilty to being a felon in possession of a firearm.

Hassan Chokr, of Dearborn, Michigan, “aggressively targeted Jewish parents and their preschool children at a local synagogue in Bloomfield Hills, Michigan. After unleashing a menacing antisemitic tirade against them, he lied and attempted to buy several firearms at a Dearborn gun store,” the Department of Justice stated.

“In December 2022, Chokr, 37, drove through the parking lot of a Jewish synagogue as parents walked their preschoolers into the building, yelling profanities and attacking their support for Israel,” the DOJ noted.

The DOJ’s statement continues:

“After being asked to leave, Chokr drove to a gun store in Dearborn. While there, he possessed a Landor Arms, 12-gauge semi-automatic shotgun; a Del-ton, 5.56mm rifle; and a Glock, 9mm semi-automatic pistol. He held each firearm, and at times pointed it and pulled the trigger.”

A federal judge on Thursday blocked the Trump administration from deporting the family of Mohamad Soliman, the individual suspected of firebombing a gathering of Israel supporters in Boulder, Colorado, on Sunday.

Judge Gordon P. Gallagher’s ruling stated that the administration cannot remove Soliman’s wife and five children from the District of Colorado or the United States pending a ruling from the 10th Circuit Court of Appeals. “[T]he Court finds that deportation without process could work irreparable harm and an order must issue without notice due to the urgency this situation presents,” the judge wrote.

Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) arrested the family earlier this week and was preparing to deport them before the judge’s ruling, The Hill reported.

U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) is preparing to deport the family of Boulder, Colo., attacker Mohamed Soliman’s wife and five children.

Department of Homeland Security (DHS) Secretary Kristi Noem said Tuesday that the family had been detained in connection with the investigation, saying they would face questioning over whether they had any knowledge of the attack.

But according to a DHS statement Wednesday, ICE was said to be “processing them for removal.”

The statement sheds new light on a White House social media post Tuesday that said the family “could be deported by tonight.”

“Six One-Way Tickets for Mohamed’s Wife and Five Kids. Final Boarding Call Coming Soon,” the White House’s post said, along with an emoji of an airplane.

The Washington Post has been caught once again putting its left-wing, anti-Trump ideology before reporting the actual news as it garbles the story about the cratering amount of fentanyl being seized at the southern border.

In this case, confiscating fewer illegal drugs is a good thing because it means less is making it across the border, not that law enforcement is slacking.

Since Trump came to office and began to tighten immigration rules and increasing border security, the bad guys in Mexico have had a much harder time of illegally smuggling dangerous fentanyl over the border. And the amount of the illegal drug being interdicted by federal officials and local police has dropped precipitously.

But instead of reporting the facts in this case, the Post tried to muddy the story up and called it “complex” all just so they could avoid giving Trump any credit.

White House press secretary Karoline Leavitt lammed the paper during her media briefing on Tuesday.

BOULDER, Colo. — Hundreds of people squeezed into the Jewish Community Center in Boulder, Colorado, for a vigil that featured prayer, singing and emotional testimony from a victim and witnesses of the firebombing attack in the city’s downtown, while a federal judge has blocked the deportation of the suspect’s family.

Mohamed Sabry Soliman, 45, has been charged with a federal hate crime and state counts of attempted murder in Sunday’s attack on a group demonstrating for the release of Israeli hostages in Gaza. He is being held in a county jail on a $10 million cash bond and is scheduled to make an appearance in state court on Thursday.

Witnesses say Soliman threw two Molotov cocktails at the group and authorities say he confessed to the attack that injured 15 people.

Rachelle Halpern, who has been walking with the group since 2023, said during Wednesday evening’s vigil that she remembers thinking it was strange to see a man with a canister looking like he was going to spray pesticide on the grass. Then she heard a crash and screams and saw flames around her feet.

“A woman stood one foot behind me, engulfed in flames from head to toe, lying on the ground with her husband,” she said. “People immediately, three or four men immediately rushed to her to smother the flames.”

ABC News propaganda show “The View” has pushed wild claims about Elon Musk’s service to the U.S. federal government.

On Wednesday’s episode of “The View,” co-host Sunny Hostin launched an eyebrow-raising attack on Musk.

Hostin blamed Musk, without citing any specific evidence, for the loss of “300,000 lives, mostly children.”

She attributed this alleged death toll to Musk’s involvement in President Donald Trump’s Department of Government Efficiency (DOGE).

The initiative is focused on streamlining the federal government.

As part of the endeavor, DOGE proposed cuts in personnel, contracts, and foreign aid.

“But the damage that he did was just really incredible,” Hostin said.

Former ESPN and MSNBC host Keith Olbermann opened his Countdown podcast Tuesday with a segment which could only be described as the ravings of a lunatic. The topic of his ten-minute tirade:  “the blood of Boulder, Colorado, is on the hands of Donald Trump.” If that relatively unsupported claim didn’t seem extreme enough, Olbermann doubled down, describing Trump’s “ethnic cleansing” policy, which supposedly exclusively targeted the innocent illegal immigrants while ignoring actual criminals.

In Olbermann’s own words:

They are looking for innocent people and those guilty of misdemeanors or things less than misdemeanors to purge, to remove, to cleanse! We got little notice last week, but Rubio, rapidly rising to the top of the hypocrisy charts to replace even Lindsey Graham for largest percentage of soul sold, announced a reorganization of the State Department that would in essence eliminate all efforts inside that department to provide a haven here for foreign nationals who have helped this country, like the thousands of people in Afghanistan who fought the Taliban with us before Trump surrendered to the Taliban. It would eliminate that department and replace it with, quote, “the Office of Remigration.”

Rep. Becca Balint (D-VT) is now at the center of a massive controversy of her own making after she made a highly offensive comment to her constituents about immigrants. The statement was made during a town hall event in Newport, Vermont, in response to a question about current U.S. immigration policy.

In her response to the question, Balint said that a crackdown on illegal immigration will leave residents of the state without “anyone around to wipe our a–es.”

“Our economy is completely bound up in immigration and migrant labor,” Balint said to her constituents during the event. “We have to come to a place in Congress where it is no longer a political issue, but we see it as an existential issue for the country.”

“If we don’t have avenues for people to come here legally to work or to build a home here, I’m going to be really crude right now — we’re not going to have anybody around to wipe our a–es because we don’t have enough people in our country now to fill the jobs that we have,” she continued.

“The quality of the institution would be so much better and that’s what I want, because we need high-quality universities. Right now, the problem is we don’t have them.”

Vice President JD Vance slammed Harvard University on Tuesday and said that the Ivy League institution was lacking “ideological diversity” and likened its political environment to that of North Korea, according to Fox News.

Speaking at the New World Gala hosted by American Compass in Washington, DC, Vance said he believes around 95 percent of Harvard’s faculty voted for former Vice President Kamala Harris in the last presidential election. He added that universities across the country have become “almost quasi-theocratic, or quasi-totalitarian societies.”

“If you ask yourself, a foreign election, a foreign country’s election, you say 80% of the people voted for one candidate, you would say, ‘Oh, that’s kind of weird, right? That’s like, not a super healthy democracy,’” Vance explained. “If you said, ‘Oh, 95% of people voted for one party’s candidate,’ you would say, ‘That’s North Korea, right… That is impossible in a true place of free exchange for that to happen.'”

A new investigation has been launched that could produce shocking new revelations about former President Joe Biden and his questionable use of the autopen. A growing number of individuals have decried the use of autopen signatures, claiming it is further evidence that the previous administration was aware of Biden’s cognitive decline and took steps to cover it up.

Critics claim the president was not capable of making final decisions on policies that would become law, thus someone whom the American people did not elect was leading the government.

A senior official within President Donald Trump’s Justice Department informed staff on Monday that he has received orders to launch an investigation into the clemency given to Biden in the final days of his presidency to both members of his family and inmates on death row.

DOJ pardon attorney Ed Martin penned an email obtained by Reuters that said the new investigation will look into whether the former president “was competent and whether others were taking advantage of him through use of AutoPen or other means.”

“An autopen is a device used to automatically affix a signature to a document. Trump and his supporters have made a variety of unfounded claims that Biden’s use of the device while president invalidated his actions or suggested that he was not fully aware of these actions. It is not known whether Biden used autopen on pardons,” Reuters explained.

On September 16, 2023, an unusual seismic signal shook the world. It appeared like clockwork every 90 seconds and lasted for 9 consecutive days.

A month later, a similar signal reappeared and lasted for another week before disappearing.

Scientists have since determined that these seismic anomalies were triggered by 2 massive landslides which ripped through a remote fjord in east Greenland. The rock-ice avalanche generated mega-tsunamis which reached 200m high at points and even damaged an empty military base.

Researchers believed these massive waves triggered a “seiche” (pronounced saish) or standing wave, which sloshed back and forth within the ford beating on either side like a drum to produce the very long signals.

But a Danish military vessel surveying the Dickson fjord just 3 days into the first seismic event never saw such a wave. In fact, until now the only evidence came from analytical and numerical models.

It is de rigueur today in certain circles to state as a matter of proven fact that Israel is committing “genocide” in Gaza. This is a lie. I’ll explain why below, but first I want to explain just how pernicious and awful that lie actually is.

Genocide is the worst crime any nation or group of people can ever commit. The Oxford Languages Dictionary defines genocide as “the deliberate killing of a large number of people from a particular nation or ethnic group with the aim of destroying that nation or group.” In 2025, there is no more heinous crime than engaging in genocide. It is the very worst thing in the modern world, and moral people everywhere know that virtually any means of violence are justified in stopping actual, genuine genocide.

Which explains the illegal alien Egyptian who firebombed Holocaust survivors in Boulder, and the pro-Hamas activist who tried to burn down a Jewish governor’s official residence, and another pro-Hamas activist who gunned down two Israeli embassy workers at the Capital Jewish Museum. They thought they were fighting to end genocide. You see, to the men who perpetrated these crimes, they were entirely justified in what they did because their actions were moral, just, and necessary to end a “genocide.” There is a certain level of seemingly rational and moral thought there.

The Wall Street Journal: Harvard Has Trained So Many Chinese Communist Officials, They Call It Their ‘Party School’

For decades, the [Chinese Communist] party has sent thousands of mid-career and senior bureaucrats to pursue executive training and postgraduate studies on U.S. campuses, with Harvard University a coveted destination described by some in China as the top “party school” outside the country.

Alumni of such programs include a former vice president and Chinese leader Xi Jinping’s top negotiator in trade talks with the first Trump administration.

Americans spend gargantuan amounts of money on education. Just K-12 costs $17,277 per student each year. For state and local governments, 8.5% of their entire budget is allocated to higher education, i.e., colleges and universities — more than what’s spent on highways, roads, police, courts, jails, and housing.

These colleges and universities also stuff their pockets with federal grants. In 2023, Americans spent nearly $60 billion on research and development grants alone.

Some Democrats are looking to create a new think tank in an effort to urge the Democratic Party to promote more popular political positions, Politico first reported on Tuesday.

During a private meeting with several Democratic donors and leaders in April, Adam Jentleson — who had previously served as chief of staff to Democratic Pennsylvania Sen. John Fetterman and a top aide to former Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid — pitched an idea to establish a new think tank called Searchlight, according to Politico. The think tank’s goal would be to encourage the Democratic Party to refocus on positions that are viewed as more widely popular among Americans ahead of the 2028 presidential election, five anonymous sources told Politico.

Seth London, who serves as an adviser to major Democratic donors, is working on the effort alongside Jentleson, according to Politico. The report comes as the Democratic Party is strategizing on how best to reconnect with voters they lost in the 2024 election cycle.

On Sunday an illegal alien named Mohamed Soliman allegedly shouted, “Free Palestine” and used a makeshift flamethrower to set a crowd of Jews on fire in Boulder, Colorado. According to a criminal complaint, Soliman — who has been charged with a federal hate crime and several other crimes — said that he “wanted to kill all Zionist people and wished they were all dead.” But the media seem just as eager to downplay the antisemitic nature of this attack (and other instances of violence against Jews) as they were to accuse Elon Musk of antisemitism for raising his hand in the air.

Excerpt:

There was another antisemitic terror attack in Boulder, Colorado, over the weekend. Mohamed Soliman, an Egyptian national who overstayed his visa, decided to burn Jewish demonstrators who were holding an event to raise awareness for the Gaza hostages. Soliman threw incendiary devices and had a makeshift flamethrower, shouting “Free Palestine.” Six people were injured. There were no fatalities.

Some outlets were more atrocious than others in their coverage. Axios was on another level. Some of their headlines obfuscated, deflected, and outright sanitized what happened at this pro-Israel event.

“With the suspect in the Boulder attack having entered the U.S. and sought asylum during the Biden administration, Trump used the event to tout his administration’s anti-immigration policies and bash Biden’s.”

Apple heiress Laurene Powell Jobs, Google founder Eric Schmidt, and the George Soros-backed Tides Foundation are among the Democratic heavyweights bankrolling the anti-Israel charity of activist Kamau Franklin, who called Elias Rodriguez’s alleged assassination of two Israeli diplomats in Washington, D.C., a “morally righteous” act.

Franklin runs Community Movement Builders, an Atlanta-based nonprofit that promotes “liberation” ideology for black Americans, Palestinians, and other groups. The organization embraces radical rhetoric in support of those causes, referring to police as “pigs” and calling the state of Israel “the result of a war crime.”

Last week, Franklin signed an open letter defending Rodriguez’s assassination of Israeli diplomats Sarah Milgrim and Yaron Lischinsky at the Capital Jewish Museum. The letter, which Franklin touted on his social media feeds, called Rodriguez’s actions “fully justified,” “eminently defensible,” and “morally righteous.” And in a thinly veiled threat, the letter says Rodriguez’s shooting will “teach a lesson and set an example” for supporters of Israel. Community Movement Builders, which Franklin formed in 2015, also expressed support on social media for Unity of Fields, an anti-Israel organization that published the open letter.

The group’s radical rhetoric could raise concerns for its roster of deep-pocketed donors, while showing that violent, anti-Israel sentiments are closer to the Democratic Party mainstream than they would like to admit. Of the $2.9 million that Community Movement Builders raised in 2023, the most recent year for which tax information is available, nearly $2 million came through large donations from the charities of several Democratic donors, liberal philanthropies, and groups in the Arabella network, a Democratic dark money juggernaut.

The Muslim terrorist who perpetrated the firebombing attack on Jewish Americans at a rally in Boulder, Colorado, was not only allowed to enter the U.S. illegally during Biden’s term in office, but Biden also gave him limited legal status and a work permit.

Mohamed Sabry Soliman, 45, was identified as the man who tried to murder Jewish people at the Boulder rally by spraying flammable liquid on them, then lighting them up with a flamethrower-style device, the Boulder Police say.

But now, Fox News reporter Bill Melugin reports that Soliman was coddled and given legal status by Biden.

Melugin says he was told the Egyptian national “arrived at LAX on 8/27/22 on a B1/B2 nonimmigrant visa with an authorized stay through 2/26/23, but he overstayed & never left.”

“I’m told on 9/29/22, he filed some sort of claim with USCIS, potentially an asylum claim, and on 3/29/23, USCIS under the Biden admin gave him work authorization, which expired on 3/28/25,” Melugin continued.

The Boulder, Colorado terror attack suspect planned on commiting a mass shooting over the weekend, however, he was stopped from obtaining a firearm due to his immigration status in the United States.

Illegal immigrant Mohamed Sabry Soliman, 45, who admitted he was planning to carry out the attack a year in advance, also told detectives that he was planning to make the attack a mass shooting. He had even taken a concealed-carry course to learn how to handle a firearm, according to the New York Post.

However, his attempt to purchase a gun was thwarted due to his status in the country illegally after the expiry of his visa, Boulder Judicial District Attorney Michael Dougherty said. Soliman, who is facing a total of 624 years behind bars, appeared in court on Monday afternoon, where he said he understood the orders placed against him involving the 12 victims. It was initially reported that there were eight people injured in the attack before four others came forward with injuries.

Soliman is facing 16 counts of attempted murder, which could result in a prison sentence of up to 384 years if convicted. He also faces 48 years for deploying two Molotov cocktails and another 192 years for allegedly attempting to use 16 additional incendiary devices found nearby. He has also been hit with federal hate crime charges.

If the rise of antisemitism after Hamas’ surprise October 7, 2023, attack on Israel didn’t indicate that more Jewish Americans should arm themselves, the wave of anti-Jewish assaults that occurred in recent months definitely should.

Fortunately, many Jewish Americans have already recognized this and have begun purchasing firearms at increasing rates. But the terrorist attack in Boulder, Colorado, shows that not only do more Jewish folks need to become gun owners, but also join the fight against gun control.

In the year following the October 7 attack, antisemitic incidents in the United States have skyrocketed to unprecedented levels, according to the Anti-Defamation League (ADL). The organization reported over 10,000 cases—the highest yearly figure since 1979. It represents a 200 percent increase from the previous year.

We here at the Louder with Crowder Dot Com website have been viewing the Jake Tapper media tour with a degree of amusement. He’s promoting his “now it can be told” book, which claims that everything we said about Joe Biden was true (with that other quiet guy who sits next to him looking weird). Now, Tapper is admitting how everything we said about Democrats and the media is true.

But this new clip of him, a CNN employee, blasting the media for letting Democrats get away with the lawfare they declared on Donald Trump… what do you even say to this?

To set the stage, since Tapper was a guest on Stephen A. Smith’s podcast, here is Stephen A. pointing out the true crime committed by the People Who Controlled Joe Biden Administration as exposed in the book: it makes Donald Trump look right about everything.

Well, if you were willing to do that, then doesn’t it strengthen his argument that lawfare is being used against him?
