Treason is acting against your country on behalf of another. Just saying.

Regarding the Mahmoud Khalil case. Alex Krainer in a recent podcast mentions hes a former employee of the UK Embassy in Beirut. It is noted his studies have previously been funded by the UK govt. If it quacks and waddles like a duck - its a duck. As Alex & Tom routinely say 'all roads lead to London'. Khalil is just another one of those Soros backed roads sent in to undermine Trumpian US

As usual, the process is the punishment. Same familiar tactics, same playbook, just in different hands and with different targets.

It would seem like Trump’s move is a preemptive clearing of potential political opposition before the hammer falls on Iran.

I don't want to trade the Left's version of censorship for the Right's version of censorship.

Deported Brown University professor had ‘sympathetic photos’ of Hezbollah leaders on her phone, DOJ says

The government’s explanation for Rasha Alawieh’s deportation came before a judge postponed a hearing on whether it defied a judge’s order that she not be deported without advance notice to the court.

BOSTON — Federal authorities say they deported a Lebanese doctor holding an American visa last week after finding “sympathetic photos and videos” of prominent Hezbollah figures in a deleted items folder on her cell phone.

Rasha Alawieh, a physician specializing in kidney transplants and professor at Brown University, also told Customs and Border Protection agents that while visiting Lebanon last month she attended the funeral of Hezbollah leader Hassan Nasrallah and followed his teachings “from a religious perspective” but not a political one, according to an official report on her interrogation by an immigration officer.

Initially I was hoping that Trump adopting the over broad Zionist definition of anti-semitism might be a ploy to get the Supreme Court to act in such a way as to restrict Trump’s ability pursue Zionist goals and free him to be more even handed. Alas the resumption of hopelessly ineffective aerial bombardment of the Houthis has shattered that hope.

The effort required to correct and improve the myriad domestic issues caused by the deep state mandate abandoning such foreign affairs foolishness.

Thank you. Please see this. Immigration has ruined Europe too. That's the plan isn't it?

Of course what Trump is doing is horrible.

To be clear, I'm totally in favor of controlling our borders and establishing clear standards for immigration. That's pro America. I'm not in favor of this Inquisition. That's un-American.

I’m having a hard time with this one. I’m not a fan of Israel or its control over our govt.

But after the J6ers who are American citizens were not give due process and per Shipwrecked today, were also required to report to court in the locks and chains used on the Venezuelan gangs this weekend, I’m having a hard time with this free speech fight for the green carders.

I’ll get there eventually due to Mark’s integrity and persuasion I’m sure.

I think many of us are concerned about what this means to the citizens of the USA who might find issues with Zionism and their understanding of what's taking place despite how it is framed by our leaders and if the whole and true story is being told. I note many Jewish Americans (and their Christian Zionists backers) are throwing the antisemite allegation toward any and all who might have another POV about what is happening in the Ukraine and in the Middle East not to mention the policies of our country.

I have deep concern over the US administration's definition of antisemitism--how not only they will punish anyone who makes derogatory remarks about Jewish people, but now someone who speaks out against the genocide that Israel is doing is antisemite AND is thus engaging in terrorism.

I wonder if this atrocious association will creep into speech on the Internet.

Will they try to shut all of us up by declaring it illegal to protest the brutality and murdering ways of Netanyahu's govt in our posts online?
