Atlanta police officers showed no mercy Thursday as they laid down the law against unruly anti-Israel and anti-cop protesters at Emory University.
As Fox 5 Atlanta reported, several dozen agitators illegally set up a “Gaza Solidarity Encampment” on the lawn of the school and held signs.
FOX 5 Atlanta’s Billy Heath III noted that the protesters were approached by police, who gave them a minute to disperse, or they would be arrested for trespassing.

The students refused to comply with the cops’ demands and ended up paying a heavy price as a result.
Video footage from the protest shows police officers getting physical with the spoiled brats after allegedly being attacked. the police reportedly had to resort to firing rubber bullets and spraying tear gas to restore order.
You can hear what sounds like rubber bullets in the clip below while some protesters scream, “Let them go!” Many protesters are also seen being zip-tied and marched away.

According to Mondowweiss.net, The protesters were demanding Emory school officials immediately divest from Israel and Cop City, a police and fire department training campus under construction near Atlanta. The latter has been a prime target for Antifa militants for months.
The article claims without evidence the protesters are students from “multiple Atlanta universities” and community members. Emory University was chosen because the Marxists protesting view it as “complicit in genocide and police militarization.”
Laura Diamond, assistant vice president of University Communications at Emory University, released a statement saying the agitators were “not members of our community” and had no right to disrupt school functions:
Several dozen protesters trespassed into Emory University’s campus early Thursday morning and set up tents on the Quad. These individuals are not members of our community.
They are activists attempting to disrupt our university as our students finish classes and prepare for finals. Emory does not tolerate vandalism or other criminal activity on campus. The Emory Police Department ordered the group to leave and contacted Atlanta Police for assistance.
But CNN reports at least two professors were among those arrested. One of these “educators” was Noelle McAfee, Chair of the Philosophy Department at Emory University.

I’ve asked for a comment from Emory on this arrest, no word yet.

Hopefully more information will come out in the coming days regarding the participants. Having professors involved and possibly brainwashing students in the process is definitely troubling.

The Supreme Court on Thursday heard oral arguments on Trump’s presidential immunity claim in Jack Smith’s January 6 case in DC.
The case made its way to the Supreme Court after the DC Circuit Court of Appeals ruled Trump was not immune from prosecution.
Trump’s lawyers previously argued that Trump is immune from federal prosecution for alleged ‘crimes’ committed while he served as US President.
John Sauer, a Missouri-based attorney for Trump, gave an opening statement on Thursday and argued that Jack Smith’s indictment uses vague statutes to criminalize “core authority” of the presidency.
Sauer argued that immunity protects past presidents such as George W. Bush and Barack Obama from being prosecuted for crimes they committed while in federal office.
AUDIO:
As expected, the liberal justices, similar to the appellate court judges, floated absurd hypotheticals.
The justices then had the opportunity to grill Jack Smith’s prosecutor Michael Dreeben. Recall that Dreeben was one of Mueller’s goons in the special counsel’s ‘Trump-Russia’ inquisition.
Conservative Justice Samuel Alito destroyed DOJ prosecutor Michael Dreeben with one question.
“If the president gets advice from the attorney general, that something is lawful, is that an absolute defense?” Alito asked Dreeben.
“Yes, I think that it is,” Dreeben said.
“But won’t that give presidents incentive to be sure to pick an Attorney General who will reliably tell the president that it is lawful to do whatever the president wants to do if there’s any possible argument in favor of it?” Alito asked Dreeben.
“I think the Constitutional structure protects against that risk. The president nominates the attorney general and the Senate provides advice and consent,” Dreeben said.
This line of questioning also dovetails other questions asked by Gorsuch related to subordinate liability.
AUDIO:
Justice Alito also asked about FDR’s decision to put Japanese-Americans in camps during WWII.
“What about President Franklin D. Roosevelt’s decision to intern Japanese-Americans during World War II, couldn’t that have been charged?” Alito asked Dreeben.
“Today, yes,” Michael Dreeben said.
AUDIO:
Justice Alito wonders why Trump is the only former President charged, asks, “What about President Franklin D. Roosevelt’s decision to intern Japanese-Americans during World War II, couldn’t that have been charged?” DOJ lawyer Michael Dreeben responds, “Today, yes.” WATCH pic.twitter.com/KHV0PaAIuo

President Trump is narrowing Joe Biden’s lead in Democratic New York with the Democrats’ lawfare against him proving to be a witch hunt.
As The Gateway Pundit reported earlier, President Trump arrived at a construction site in New York on Thursday morning to greet union workers, and he was met with thunderous chants of “USA!” “USA!”
New York Union Workers Chant “USA!” As President Trump Visits Their Construction Site – Union Leader Trashes Democrats, Praises Trump (VIDEO)
Trump told Fox News earlier, “I think these maybe were Democrats, but for me, they’re Republican.”
“There’s not a Democrat in there,” he added:
The union workers love Trump, and according to new polling data, Biden’s lead in New York, a state where Democrats have won by double digits in every presidential election since 1988, continues to shrink.
As Right Side Broadcasting Network reports,
In the latest show of proof that left-wing prosecutors’ efforts to interfere in the 2024 presidential election are backfiring, a newly released survey reveals that President Donald J. Trump may be within striking distance of Joe Biden in one of America’s strongest Democrat states (and the backdrop for Alvin Bragg’s ongoing “hush money” sham trial): New York.
New polling from the Siena College Research Institute, conducted over a three-day period from April 15-17, shows President Trump within ten points of Joe Biden in the state, 37 percent to 47 percent. In February, the same poll, which was taken prior to the start of the New York City trial (which will wrap up week two on Friday), showed Biden leading by 12 (48 percent-36 percent).
Among Independent voters, Trump leads Biden by 14 points, 46 percent-32 percent.
If this margin were to hold (or tighten further) going into November, it could indicate a seismic shift in the voting habits of traditionally deep-blue New York: Joe Biden carried the state’s 29 electoral votes by a margin of 23 points four years ago, and the last time a Republican declared victory there was in 1984 when President Ronald Reagan defeated ex-Vice President Walter Mondale by a more modest 8 points.
New York union leader Bobby Bartels also shared results from a poll he put out in his union, telling Fox, “President Trump is leading Joe Biden three to one on my presidential poll out of my 9,000 members right now.”
Bartles added, “We are very tired of the situation with groceries, inflation, gas prices, illegal immigration, crime. We’re living it every day in New York City.”
Bartels: It was great to see the president coming and engaging with the blue collar worker of New York City. We basically built New York. The union movement has made the middle class, and we are a very patriotic union, and we are pro America. So, my members, right now, I put out a poll in my union. President Trump is leading Joe Biden three to one on my presidential poll out of my 9,000 members right now. We are very tired of the situation with groceries, inflation, gas prices, illegal immigration, crime. We’re living it every day in New York City.

It’s no secret Harvey Weinstein is a despicable human being. But that doesn’t mean prosecutors get free reign. New York’s highest court ruled the judge tainted the jury by allowing witness to testify about subjects that had nothing to do with the case against him. This is exactly what is happening in the New York court room where President Trump is being tried on a sham records keeping case.
For 3 days the CEO of the National Enquirer has been testifying about things that have nothing to do with the underlying allegations against Trump. His testimony is only to serve as a way to make the jury think President Trump is unscrupulous. It amounts to a prosecutorial trick. If New York’s highest court rules that these types of witnesses, that serve only to taint the minds of the jury, are wrong in a convicted sex offender case, it should be wrong in a case against a former President.
While this is happening, The Supreme Court is hearing oral arguments in the Presidential immunity case that will have far reaching ramifications on ever case brought against President Trump by these deceitful leftists prosecutors across the country. We have the must hear audio that gives us an indication into how the Supreme Court may rule.
