On Friday’s broadcast of HBO’s “Real Time,” host Bill Maher urged students not to go to elite colleges because doing so “just makes you stupid” and that these elite schools are “a North Korean re-education camp” that are racist towards Asian applicants that don’t teach history and “if ignorance is a disease, Harvard Yard is the Wuhan wet market.”

OTTAWA – A newly released memo shows federal officials warned last spring that expanding a bilateral refugee pact to the entire Canada-U.S. border would likely fuel smuggling networks and encourage people to seek more dangerous, remote crossing routes.
Officials feared the development would also strain RCMP resources as irregular migrants dispersed more widely across the vast border.
The April memo, made public by Public Safety Canada through the Access to Information Act, was prepared in advance of a Cross-Border Crime Forum meeting with American representatives.
Tucker Carlson just challenged one of the left’s most sacred of cows – George Floyd, an ex-con who died with an elephant-dose of fentanyl in his system and a history of health issues, while in custody of Minneapolis police on May 25, 2020.

York University says it will begin a process that could lead to the school withdrawing its recognition of its student unions in response to a controversial statement the groups issued about this month’s Hamas attacks in Israel.
In a written notice Friday, the university’s administration said it suspects the student unions have breached their responsibilities under a university regulation, by failing to act in an open, accessible, democratic and non-discriminatory manner.
A first-year Israeli student at Harvard Business School was shoved and accosted amid a “die in” protest held on Wednesday to assail Israel’s retaliatory attacks on Hamas.
The incident, captured on video reviewed by the Washington Free Beacon, shows the student saying “don’t grab me” and “don’t touch my neck” as protesters surround him, blocking his view and their own faces with keffiyehs.

Thousands of people are taking part in a pro-Palestinian protest in London for the second consecutive weekend.
The Met Police estimated up to 100,000 people had joined the march, which was due to end in a rally near Downing Street, as of 14:00 BST.
Smaller demos took place in Birmingham, Belfast, Cardiff and Salford.
It comes as aid deliveries reached Gaza for the first time since Israel imposed a blockade following a Hamas attack which killed 1,400 people in Israel.
Holy moly!
An absolutely gigantic turnout in London right now to say, “Free Palestine!”🇵🇸

Meanwhile in the USA …
Ottawa prepares for evacuation of Canadians from Lebanon; could be its largest civilian evacuation in history
Canada is preparing for what could be the biggest civilian evacuation in its history, one that is raising questions about the country’s obligations to its overseas passport-holders before it has even begun.
Tens of thousands of Canadian citizens live in Lebanon, where fear of a looming war between the powerful militant group Hezbollah and Israel — in the wake of its war with Hamas — has driven airlines to cancel flights and some embassies to begin evacuating staff and diplomats.
It is embarrassing to live in a country so frequently and routinely taken advantage of. Our political class are swine.
Lebanon is virtually governed by Hezbollah. Why do we want to bring back a horde of Isamist haters?
The social media platform X, formerly known as Twitter, has removed the gold “verified” badge from the New York Times’ account amid ongoing complaints about the news organization from X owner Elon Musk.
OTTAWA – Prime Minister Justin Trudeau acknowledged divergent views, and common fears, among his Liberal MPs over the Israel-Hamas war on Friday, when he also faced an unfriendly crowd during a visit to a mosque.
Some Liberal MPs are joining calls by Muslim groups for Canada to push for a ceasefire in the region, while major Canadian Jewish groups have demanded Trudeau retract an earlier comment they view as lending credence to the claim by Hamas that Israel was responsible for an attack on a hospital in Gaza City.
A woke Lower East Side bookstore is bringing fear and loathing to the neighborhood by luring hordes of drug addicts to their storefront with clothes, hygiene products, food and drinks — and even a bathroom where they can shoot up, neighbors told The Post.
If you want evidence that Canada’s experimental “safer supply” drug programs have been a disaster, all you need to do is open your laptop and visit Reddit, a popular social media platform. Until very recently, if you knew which keywords to use, you could easily find drug traffickers openly selling tens of thousands of hydromorphone pills, many of which clearly originated from Canadian safer supply programs.
A convicted pedophile has been arrested after setting up a homeless camp outside of a San Francisco school with a sign offering ‘free fentanyl 4 new users’.
Adam Moore, 46, set up an encampment across from Stella Maris Academy in the embattled California city over two years ago.
Moore had been stationed outside the school with signs offering free drugs, with one reading: ‘Free fentanyl 4 new users’ and another saying ‘Meth for stolen items’.
Demonstrators gathered at four pro-Palestinian rallies in Toronto on Friday to show their support for people in the Gaza Strip as the Israel-Hamas war continues.
One rally is ongoing at Queen’s Park and has drawn more than 500 people. The other three were held outside the office of Deputy Premier Chrystia Freeland, at Toronto Metropolitan University and at the University of Toronto.
At Queen’s Park, the demonstrators called on the Ontario government to reconsider a motion that passed 78-0 in the legislature on Thursday. The motion condemned Hamas and affirmed Israel’s right to defend itself. All Progressive Conservative and Liberal MPPs voted in favour of the motion tabled on Monday, while the NDP abstained from the vote.
This demo may draw a crowd, so far the Hamas support rallies have been small to middling affairs.

CNN reporter Sara Sidner was accosted live on-air on this morning as she reported from the West Bank, with an angry crowd of Palestinians telling her: ‘F**k CNN – you are not welcome here’ in the latest indicator of the region’s bubbling hatred of America.
Sidner is among the network’s reporters who have been in the region since Hamas waged war on October 7. On Friday, she was reporting from a street in the West Bank – one of two Palestinian territories – when she was approached by a furious man.
