Not in America, but:
Daily Telegraph today:

"Australia's universities are in the grip of an anti-Semitism crisis driven by Marxism and a radical minority of anti-Israel students and professors who have cowed the rest of their campuses into silence, a forum on campus life has heard."

#####

Well there you go.

And I suspect the same thing is happening elsewhere in the Western world...judging by what University of Melbourne professor Timothy Lynch is quoted as saying in the DT article.
He mentions "susceptible to this anti-Semitic 'Israel is the source of all evil' caricature".

From the Top of Alaska to the Bottom of Chile we are mostly Christians, and we are moving away from Marxism, Latin America already fought their Civil Wars and now everyone is wiser and now they have all read "Animal Farm" by George Orwell, etc. Latin America is heading in the direction of Costa Rica, etc.

And Claudia Sheinbaum is the new Jewish President of Mexico, Mexico has over one hundred million people and they freely elected a Jewish Woman as President. And Mexico can send food to Lebanon, and to Israel, and Mexico can release prisoners to Lebanon, etc.

The Western Hemisphere is moving closer to God, and away from Marxism, and we are moving closer to Israel.

And we need to remember the Philippines, the Philippines has one hundred million people and they are all Christians.

On the issue of the colleges, it just shows that they need to expand diversity at the Universities, the schools need to invite more Jews to attend their schools, and more Christians, etc. The schools in Australia can invite more Christians to attend their schools, and more Jews, etc.

Also, Pepperdine is a Christian college, and we need to support opening good Christian schools all over America, and in Latin America, etc.

The schools need to diversify and have all voices represented. And also we need to support good Christian universities like Pepperdine in Malibu.

Salute,

Tony V.

That you think the Senate will be anything more than a rubber stamp for Trump is adorable.

Red thinks that if low life anti-American scumbags seize control of the Senate they can do as much to destroy the United States as putting the diaper puppet bandit in the White House. He wants to destroy the United States and replace it with a complete kakitocracy but does not want to face the blowback that trump level idiocy is sure to cause him personally.

He is right about the enormous damage just a handful of republican senators will do if given the chance. He is wrong about having a hope to avoid blowback.

Red is scum.

It is known.

Red is fucked.

Competence? Likely the most amusing thing you have posted here.

The right thing to do is not vote for a person who tried to overthrow the United States government and to withhold a vote for anybody in the party that  he leads. That you have no idea what nihilism means is cute, but irrelevant.

And, most importantly, since you have stated that you do not care what I think about you, why do you bother responding to me? 

I will answer. Because you are a liar who cares what I think. Deeply.
Are you sending out invitations to your I predicted A TRUMP VICTORY PARTY?
I still am predicting a Trump victory.

That is a goddamned shame. What the fuck is wrong with anyone voting for Trump? Let me rephrase that, what the fuck is wrong with white people?

By the way, she gonna beat him like a drum.

I think it is too close to call.  If actual voters reflected the demographics of America, its true diversity, it wouldnt be.  Then it would only be a question of how bad the skew is from the electoral college and gerrymandered districts.

Do not forget ratfucking as a chief form of voter suppression. Republicans gave up policy for ratfucking decades ago and have never looked back.

Red called me stupid earlier today, and consistently derides the intelligence of others. Why does he continue to post with us morons ? There are plenty of message boards where he and other Trump voters can stroke each other into ecstasy. Why does he bother with us nitwits?

Believe me, I hope you're right.

To quote the great William Goldman, Nobody knows anything.

Do not pay attention to the national polls and pay even less attention to swing state polls.

Personally I am of the belief that a big silent vote is made up of white Republican WOMEN. The majority of white women have reliably voted GOP for most of the last 50 years. But that was before SCOTUS Dobbs decision and I am fairly confident a significant portion of that cohort want control of their bodies back.

Without sounding like the late, great Will Sonnet, the only political call I have missed since 2016 was the fact Merric Garland was not quietly building a case against Trump, If you come at the King you best not miss. Imagine my shock Garland had not even launched an investigation until Trump declared as a candidate. The courts will not save us but if Harris wins the courts will take that OLD, demented sociopath off the board for god.

I think Dems win through the precinct by precinct political blocking and tackling.

LOL! I have forgotten more about political campaigning than you have ever known.

Jimmy Carter
1976

Come on, Son!

Poor example!

Ford pardoned Nixon and trailed all through the cycle until he started kicking Jimmy Carters corn pone ass in the debates.

Ford closed the polling gap but stepped on his dick saying the Soviets did not have their foot on Eastern European throats.

That did him in and Carter went on to win a close EC vote as Ford won Michigan.

I was 17 when I first worked on a campaign and that was for Thomas Downey in 1975. A whole bunch of Watergate Babies were elected that cycle.


I cast my first vote for Jimmy Carter in 1976.

Actually poor editing on my part.
Carter said that in 1980 before losing to Ronald Reagan
