2PM, "or else". Meanwhile, the protestors are threatening violence.

Columbia University has warned anti-Israel protesters they’ll be suspended if they don’t clear out of their tent encampment by 2 p.m. Monday — just hours after the Ivy League’s embattled president Minouche Shafik admitted that all other negotiations had failed.

The protesters were given the ultimatum as NYPD buses were spotted arriving outside the Morningside Heights campus Monday morning.

“It is important for you to know that the university has already identified many students in the encampment,” a letter warning students of the looming deadline read. “If you do not leave by 2 p.m., you will be suspended pending further investigation.”

“If you voluntarily leave by 2 p.m., identify yourself to a university officials, and sign the provided form where you commit to abide by all university policies through June 30, 2025, or the date of the conferral of your degree, whichever is earlier, you will be eligible to complete the semester in good standing,” added the letter, shared by the Columbia Students for Justice in Palestine.


Are they growing a backbone? Guess we'll see at 2.

Dope1: Meanwhile, the protestors are threatening violence.

Here's the real absurdity: they're protesting an occupation with an occupation.

Dope1: Are they growing a backbone?

Speaking of backbones, are you ever going to grow one and state for the record that Trump should be in prison and should never again set foot in the Oval Office for taking over one hundred of the nation's most highly classified intelligence and military documents, storing them in areas open to the public, refusing to return them, and then conspiring to obstruct the investigation to get them returned to their rightful owners?

One of the things I wanted to talk to you about, if you remember sometime after the administration ended, GSA had appoximately six pallets of items, boxes, I believe, that were stored in Virginia. And at some point - I guess there was a time limit, I'm not entirely sure - they contacted the office of 45 to inform them that, you know, they have to go. They - someone has to pick them up, or they have to be shipping, or something to that effect.

Hmmm. Interesting.

Do try to stay on topic, lad.

So the bluff has been called: the protestors are still there and have been joined by more.

NOW: Students are encircling the Columbia University encampment as the 2 PM deadline to clear the encampment passes

Students remaining in the encampment have been told they will face disciplinary action if they remain in the encampment after 2 PM

It’s 2 pm — the deadline Columbia’s president set for students to leave the encampment.

But the tents are still there, and now the lawn is surrounded by hundreds of protesters advocating for divestment

“anti-Israel protesters have now taken over Hamilton Hall. They are using picnic tables to barricade themselves inside.

There are unconfirmed reports that a member of facilities staff is being held hostage.”

LurkerMom: Happening under Biden’s watch..

Yeah, Biden's got such small protests, a few dozen protesters on college campuses. Pathetic. We need Trump back. Now that guy didn't just have some college campus protests here and there, he had entire cities across America protesting on his watch.

Dozens of grown men came up to him with tears in their eyes -- men who might not have cried even when they were babies -- and told president Trump: "Sir, no one has bigger, better protests in the streets of American cities than you. Tens of thousands of Americans protesting in New York City, Los Angeles, Nashville, Miami, Cleveland, Raleigh, Louisville, Atlanta, and Dallas. And when protesters encircled the White House you took to the bunker prepared to make your heroic final stand to preserve our freedom. God sent you, sir. God sent you to save America."

Or something.

Well, for once commonone, you got something right.

Biden’s Kangaroo Court rages on with his never ending Get Trump Insanity. President Trump, an American citizen is under gag order, while Biden looks the other way and shrugs, Hamas rioters can scream Death To America all they want, they have free speech.

Biden is America’s Shame.

I won't rescue Liberals from what they have created.

Why rescue people - who are not only gonna vote against us - but want to muzzle and ostracize us in every part of American life?

INTIFADA..... to me now means "Let's Roll"

So over at North Carolina they took down the American flag and hoisted up a Palestinian one.

The interim chancellor said, "Uh, uh."
