An unofficial Columbia University student group, the pro-Palestinian ‘Columbia University Apartheid Divest’ posted “marg bar amrika,” the Islamist Iranian regime chant that means, “death to America,” to X Saturday in response to the killing of Iran Supreme Leader Ayatollah Ale Khamenei in joint U.S.-Israeli air strikes.

Via Wikipedia: “Death to America (Persian: مرگ بر آمریکا Marg bar Amrika) is an anti-American political slogan and chant which has been in use in Iran since the inception of the Islamic Revolution in 1978. Ayatollah Khomeini, the first leader of the Islamic Republic of Iran, popularized the term. In most official Iranian translations, the phrase is translated into English as the less offensive “Down with America.” The chant “Death to America” has come to be employed by Islamists, anti-imperialists, and decolonisation movements worldwide. Great Satan is another closely linked propaganda phrase.”

The group later posted that X made them take the post down, but that it stood by the thought, “X forced us to delete our “marg bar amrika” tweet in order to gain back access to our account but the sentiment still stands”

The group mourned the death of Khamenei, “Devastating news. Our hearts are with the Iranian people. Iran has every right to defend itself against zionist warfare.”

About Columbia University Apartheid Divest

Columbia University Apartheid Divest is a coalition of student organizations that see Palestine as the vanguard for our collective liberation. We are a continuation of the Vietnam anti-war movement and the movement to divest from apartheid South Africa. We support freedom and justice for the Palestinian people, and for all people. We know that true collective safety will arise when everyone has access to clean air, clean water, food, housing, education, healthcare, freedom of movement, and dignity.

FINANCIAL DIVESTMENT. Divest all of Columbia’s finances, including the endowment, from companies and institutions that profit from Israeli apartheid, genocide and occupation in Palestine. Ensure accountability by increasing transparency around financial investments.

ACADEMIC BOYCOTT. Sever academic ties with Israeli universities, including the Global Center in Tel Aviv, the Dual Degree Program with Tel Aviv University, and all study-abroad programs, fellowships, and research collaborations with Israeli academic institutions.

STOP THE DISPLACEMENT. No land grabs, whether in Harlem, Lenapehoking, or Palestine. Cease expansion, provide reparations, and support housing for low-income Harlem residents. No development by Columbia without real community control.

NO POLICING ON CAMPUS. End the targeted repression of Palestinian students and their allies on and off campus, including through university disciplinary processes. Defund Public Safety and disclose and sever all ties with the NYPD.

END THE SILENCE. Release a public statement calling for an immediate, permanent ceasefire in Gaza, denouncing the ongoing genocidal campaign against the Palestinian people, and call on government officials to do so too.

Jonathan Capehart of MSNOW appeared on PBS this weekend and claimed, with a straight face, that the media is necessarily liberal.

He was taking part in a discussion about the imminent takeover of CNN by Paramount and was defending CNN’s coverage.

As proof of his claim about the media, he admitted that FOX News, which leans right, is the most-watched cable news network. He failed to point out that FOX is the only right-leaning network in a media sea of progressive spin.

NewsBusters reports:

Reverting to his first instinct, Brooks conceded that new CBS News chief Bari Weiss’s intention to shake things up is not unreasonable, “And I’m a guy who—I don’t know Bari Weiss particularly, but I support what they’re trying to do. I think it’s time to mix up the media. That we got a little too progressive, a little too elite, and if Bari Weiss can change the mind-set, all power to her.”

Flip-flopping again, Brooks lamented, “But if this is being done for lobbying and business, which it sure looks like it is, then that’s the real deterioration in the business we’re in.”

Even that centrist position was too much for Capehart, “Well, I would argue that the media isn’t necessarily liberal, when you look at the fact that the number one cable channel and the number one viewing channel is Fox News Channel.”

Proving that he hasn’t watched CBS since the Weiss takeover, Capehart continued, “This idea that there are liberals out there running around through the media indoctrinating people and changing—you know, setting the narrative, I just think is wrong. I think bringing a Fox-like mentality and demeanor to CBS News and potentially to CNN, I think in the end makes the American people worse off.”

He also added, “Our job as journalists, and I’m speaking specifically of CNN in this case in this deal. Folks turn to CNN for news. They turn to them for just what is happening in the country. And if what’s happening at CBS is bound—could happen at CNN, then our country and our profession will be in worse shape.”

See the video below. Note how many times Capehart stumbles here. He seems genuinely nervous.

The post REALLY? Jonathan Capehart of MSNOW Claims ‘The Media Isn’t Necessarily Liberal’ (VIDEO) appeared first on The Gateway Pundit.

Republican Congressman Tim Burchett of Tennessee appeared on NewsNation tonight and provided a reminder for all of the Democrats who are suddenly claiming that Trump can’t act on Iran without congressional approval.

Burchett points out that Obama bombed eight different countries without congressional approval.

Democrats think no one remembers anything. When Obama was president, he could pretty much do anything he wanted with zero pushback from his party or the media. He could do no wrong in their eyes.

Partial transcript via Overton News:

BURCHETT: “President Obama bombed 8 countries without Congressional approval.”

“So I think it’s a little disingenuous for the Democrats start saying this is unprecedented and you’ve got the most stable regime, outside of probably the Chinese, in the whole right now.”

“And they’ve killed Americans within recent memory.”

“Is this the revenge tour? Maybe be a little bit. But you poke the bear you get it.”

“Or you poke the bull, you get the horns and the horns.”

“And the horns right now are Donald J. Trump.”

“And he’s letting an enemy of this country know how we feel about them.”

Burchett made the same point in a post on Twitter/X.

Save me your outrage. Obama bombed 8 countries without Congress approval and Clinton bombed an aspirin factory to cover up his affair.

Democrats must also think that no one remembers Biden’s disastrous withdrawal from Afghanistan, which ended up killing 13 service members.

So far, no U.S. troops have been killed as a result of Trump’s actions in Iran.

With the news of Trump’s actions in Iran, FOX News has brought on all of their primetime hosts and analysts to react on a Saturday night.

During the 6:00 hour, Bret Baier was on and spoke to senior political analyst Brit Hume about the Democrat reaction to the news.

Hume points out that if Trump pulls this off, and it looks like he will, it will be popular with the American people. He suggests that Democrats have become ‘trapped’ by their Trump Derangement Syndrome, which he acknowledges is real.

From FOX News:

BRIT HUME: “The public reaction is likely to be favorable, and I think these Democrats are kind of trapped.”

“These Democrats, with rare exception…feel their job in life is to resist and oppose Donald Trump in every way, almost no matter what he does.”

“Over time, those who are critical may feel vindicated if things start to go badly, but if they don’t, they’re going to be stuck with this.”

“If the Iranian regime goes down, and things turn out well in Iran, that will be a burden around their necks.”

Democrats have painted themselves into a corner on this. They can’t complain too much, because the Iranian people are dancing in the streets, yet they can’t appear to support Trump. So what will they do?

They will complain about the way Trump did this. All of their criticism will be about how it was done. Just watch.

Iran’s (now deceased) Supreme Leader taunted President Trump last week in a series of social media posts.

Khamenei’s social media posts didn’t age very well.

“The US President has said that for 47 years, the United States hasn’t been able to eliminate the Islamic Republic. That is a good confession. I say, ” You, too, will not be able to do this,”” Khamenei said last week.

Iran’s Supreme Leader and more than 40 top Iranian leaders were killed in the US-Israel military operation on Saturday.

More than 200 people were killed and nearly 800 people were injured in the military strikes.

Khamenei trashed the US military a week before US-Israel military strikes killed him.

“The US President keeps saying that they have the strongest military force in the world. The strongest military force in the world may at times be struck so hard that it cannot get up again,” Khamenei said last week.

On Saturday evening after Iranian state television confirmed Khamenei was killed in the military strikes, an aide posted a verse from the Quran to his X account.

“Among the faithful are men who fulfill what they have pledged to Allah: there are some among them who have fulfilled their pledge, and some of them who still wait, and they have not changed in the least (Holy Quran 33:23),” the post said.

In the Name of God, the Compassionate, the Merciful
