Giving up all electronic devices, other than making voice calls, presented its challenges both socially and workwise, making it, for this early Generation X member, the mother of all Lenten sacrifices
What happened next is a barometer of contemporary America.
When this middle-aged man started reading about the recent surge of protests that have metastasized on college campuses nationwide, he thought they were in support of the Israelis who were brutally attacked on October 7 that resulted in deaths, rapes, and kidnappings.
Rather, the support was for the Hamas barbarians who committed the atrocities.
The American nation is not united like it was back in 1979 when the American embassy in Tehran, Iran was overrun, and 52 Americans were taken hostage and remained in custody for over a year. It wasn’t until the inauguration of President Ronald Reagan that they were released knowing what awaited them provided they remained in captivity. Reagan proved Napoleon Bonaparte’s credo that a country’s military should act as an “iron hand in a velvet glove.”
When that iron hand turns to jelly, fear is replaced with belligerence that ultimately results in violence.
Most disturbing throughout this ordeal has been the escalation of antisemitism.
A closer examination of these “campus activists” by the Wall Street Journal revealed many were training students long before the protests got underway. Many are Muslim students from the Middle East. Why are these “students” allowed to remain in the country when they are clearly violating the terms of their student visas?
Academia traded intellectual vitality more than a generation ago for Marxism’s political correctness that grows more toxic, daily. Not since the Vietnam era has the college campus and the prevailing culture so profoundly clashed.
These protestors are not just anti-Israel but anti-American – all united to unravel the fundamental fabric of America and ultimately replace it with Marxism.
The pronoun posse majoring in jihad are the breathing definition of useful idiots. Here is America’s youth championing the cause of tyrannical religious zealots who would decapitate them if given the opportunity.
How does any sane person accuse Israel of genocide yet demand for the destruction of the Jewish state, while simultaneously staging an illegal occupation themselves.
As Don King would bellow, “Only in America.”
At least two Columbia University useful idiots joined a protest at NYU and were asked what NYU was protesting. One said she didn’t know, while the other said she wished she were better educated. Many of their contemporaries have no clue how long Jews have lived in Palestine or what river and sea they are chanting about.
They have much in common with the Ku Klux Klan: both hate Jews and wear masks. They must watch the videos of Hamas’s Oct. 7 atrocities that have been described as unwatchable. Moreover, they need to educate themselves on Shariah Law and how it treats women, gays, and nonbelievers.

Biden wants to forgive their student loans because all of them vote Democrat. Every. Single. One. Lost on them is how Hamas, like the rest of the Middle East persecutes LGBTQs except for Israel.
There have been more Palestinian support in England and America than there have been across the entire Arab world. Hating America is a core value of Palestinians whom no Arab state wants. CBS News reports the Biden administration is considering accepting Palestinian refugees and creating a path to American citizenship.
Al-Jazeera reported Teheran University will offer full four-year scholarships to any student who is expelled while chanting “Death to America.” In addition, the Taliban offered to send peacekeepers.
The iconoclast Babylon Bee headlined: “Hamas thanks college student supporters by promising them a quick death during global intifada. College student so caught up harassing Jews he forgot about term paper on inclusion being too busy painting “Death to Jews on the doors of the Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion department. Hamas promised gays would not be tortured; rather they would be thrown off the top of buildings.”
You can always spot a terrorist on Spring Break as they go wild whenever they see a wet T-shirt on a goat.
If Muslims disarmed, there would be peace in the Middle East.
If the Jews disarmed, Israel would cease to exist.
That is no joke.
