Amidst ongoing cuts to questionable federal programs through DOGE, the State Department is planning significant budget cuts, possibly even half of its current expenses.
And many of those cuts have to do with eliminating U.S. funding of globalist organizations like the United Nations and NATO.
According to a diplomatic source talking to Fox News, the administration has a plan to end funding for more than 20 international organizations.
The U.S. contributed around $13 billion to the United Nations in 2023 and around $3.5 billion to NATO. The source with a copy of the proposal says it calls for allocating $2 billion for "America First" priorities. Those funds could be used in support of "specific partners" like India and Jordan, according to the document, or broader priorities, like the South Pacific Tuna Treaty.
State Department spokeswoman Tammy Bruce stressed Tuesday, "There is no final plan, final budget." The proposed plan represents a $27 billion cut, nearly half of the State Department's current budget.
Bruce said, "Throughout the history of the United States, everyone has a budget plan and everyone has ideas for budgets. And every president has a budget plan and sends it to Congress. And then Congress either accepts it or they have their own ideas, which happens more often than not."
According to the Fox report, the foreign service travel budget and benefits would be scaled back under the plan, and the Fulbright scholarship program would be eliminated.
The document calls for a 2% reduction in diplomatic security, cuts to the inspector general's office, and the closure of smaller embassies in countries such as the Maldives, Malta, Luxembourg and the Central African Republic.
The budget proposal is in early stages, with several layers of approval needed before its finalization.

'Millions of American workers, including those with top security clearance and advanced degrees, have been locked out of jobs or quietly replaced by visa-dependent workers with fake qualifications'
For decades, the American public has been told the nation's future depended on importing foreign "skilled workers." They have been fed a narrative claiming their nation's own citizens were somehow unqualified, uninterested or incapable of filling the very jobs that built their country. But this story was a fabrication, one carefully constructed by economic elites and facilitated by government policy. Behind the curtain stands a foreign government, executing what may be the most expansive and under-acknowledged labor infiltration in modern economic history.
This is not immigration. This is infiltration by policy. A silent economic war is being waged, not with bombs or bullets, but with resumes, fake credentials and weaponized visa loopholes. This is the story of how, through a deliberate national labor export policy, India systematically overtook America's tech, engineering, defense and research sectors while displacing qualified American citizens in the process.
This is the Skilled Worker Hoax.
India's national strategy to export human capital is neither accidental nor benign. It is embedded in the mission statements of Indian government institutions and backed by state-supported private enterprises. Subramaniam Ramadorai, then-chairman of India's National Skill Development Agency, made the country's objective clear: "To meet the aspirations of the youth and to realize our full potential we have to be ready with a skilled and talented human pool. To skill India is hence a national imperative."
Yet the skills being marketed to the world are often more myth than merit. A 2011 release by the Confederation of Indian Industry, or CII, a non-governmental business and industry organization that plays a major role in promoting India's global competitiveness, acknowledged that although 40% of the global population under age 25 lives in India, only 5% of its workforce was considered skilled. By contrast, 85% of the global labor force already had marketable skills. Rajendran Renganathan, a senior CII official, further conceded, "Vocational training is still not seen as the most respectable thing to do after XIIth standard. We need to create employable people, not just educated people."
Despite these admissions, India aggressively promoted its under-skilled labor force as a global tech powerhouse. Programs like Skill India and Digital India were launched alongside efforts from the National Skill Development Corporation to flood foreign labor markets with Indian nationals. Indian outsourcing giants Tata Consultancy Services, Infosys, Wipro and HCL Technologies, all closely aligned with the Indian state, embedded themselves deep within major U.S. corporations. These firms secured large-scale contracts while effectively taking control of IT systems, hiring pipelines and contract staffing channels.
Once inside, these companies began funneling candidates through falsified documentation, resume mills and diploma factories. Skill centers operating under the All India Council for Technical Education, or AICTE, mass-produced certificates. Coursework was routinely plagiarized from U.S. syllabi. Fake employment histories and staged references became the norm, all coordinated by body shops across India that have flourished under this scheme.
While India institutionalized a labor-export economy, U.S. regulators remained inert. The Department of Labor and the U.S. Citizenship and Immigration Services approved applications en masse without meaningful scrutiny. American tech giants like Google, Meta, Amazon and Salesforce actively enabled the takeover. Many of these companies established formal partnerships with Indian firms or entered into Memoranda of Understanding with Indian government bodies. Salesforce, for instance, signed a formal MOU with AICTE, pledging to collaborate on skilling initiatives targeting Indian job seekers.
Department of Homeland Security records show that over 70% of all H-1B visas are awarded to Indian nationals, and Indian outsourcing firms remain among the top petitioners every year. These staffing channels are not merit-based. Hiring increasingly relies on internal referrals, caste-based exclusivity and visa dependency. American citizens, veterans and recent STEM graduates are routinely overlooked or excluded entirely.
The Program Electronic Review Management labor certification system, or PERM, which was intended to protect American workers, has been exploited at scale. Companies claim that "no qualified U.S. worker applied," often while laying off American staff to make room for foreign visa workers. These actions are submitted under penalty of perjury, yet virtually no enforcement or consequence follows.
The role of the Confederation of Indian Industry and All India Council for Technical Education cannot be overstated. These quasi-governmental bodies have signed dozens of strategic agreements with U.S. universities, multinational companies and public institutions. Publicly framed as educational and innovation partnerships, these agreements serve as channels to embed Indian labor in critical infrastructure across the United States. One strategic plan from CII plainly states its mission "to make India the undisputed global leader in the matter of skills and talent" by embedding itself in foreign economies through commercial and policy partnerships.
Universities in the United States have also played a central role in enabling this scheme. Many American schools, eager for high-paying international tuition, now enroll tens of thousands of students from India, many of whom come from unaccredited or fraudulent institutions. These students take advantage of the Optional Practical Training, or OPT, and STEM OPT extensions, bypassing normal work visa caps and displacing American graduates in the process.
Despite claims by tech companies that there is a domestic STEM shortage, the evidence proves otherwise. The United States produces more STEM graduates than there are job openings available. Millions of American workers, including those with top security clearance and advanced degrees, have been locked out of jobs or quietly replaced by visa-dependent workers with fake qualifications, which is reflected in this Government of India's Ministry of Statistics and Programme Implementation document.
The threat extends beyond economics. Today, sensitive national defense projects, healthcare systems, critical infrastructure and proprietary technologies are being accessed and maintained by foreign contractors, often based in offshore locations. Data is frequently transmitted across borders without sufficient security protocols. This opens the door to espionage, sabotage and blackmail. If the workers entrusted with protecting U.S. systems are themselves products of fraud, then the entire system is compromised.
This is how nations fall, not by conquest, but by quiet economic displacement.
There is still time to reverse course. Congress must move swiftly to suspend the H-1B visa program and terminate OPT and CPT loopholes. PERM labor certifications issued under false pretenses must be revoked. Fraudulent universities should be decertified. Internal audits must be conducted within U.S. hiring systems to identify and eliminate foreign interference and discriminatory recruitment practices. Most importantly, new laws must guarantee that American citizens are given first right to American jobs, without exception.
Americans must not be afraid to say this. The Indian government is not their friend. It is a foreign power pursuing its own interest. That interest is to replace the American workforce with its own, to capture U.S. industries, and to dominate the future of technology. India is not a passive trade partner. It is executing a deliberate economic strategy designed to displace American labor and dominate critical global sectors through manufactured human capital. Not for partnership, but for control.
This ongoing WND investigation will continue to peel back the layers of a global deception that reshaped America without Americans' vote, voice or consent. Each report will reveal the players, pipelines and policies that handed over Americans' future. For those who want to know who stole the American Dream, and how to get it back, stay tuned.

Ruling represents apocalyptic loss for LGBT activists
The Supreme Court in the United Kingdom, which has been at the heart of a lot of left-leaning precedents for citizens there, stunningly has decided that men who say they are female are not "women."
The Telegraph called it a "landmark" ruling and quoted "Harry Potter" author J.K. Rowling, who has been badgered and bludgeoned by those in the transgender agenda for her criticism of the movement, saying it would protect "the rights of women and girls across the U.K."
It's an apocalyptic loss for the LGBT activists, especially those pushing the transgender agenda, as Joe Biden did for four years while he was president in the United States.
The court ruling, a unanimous decision, said "woman" and "sex" in the 2010 Equality Act referred to biological sex, not a belief expressed by a male that he is suddenly female. In fact, following the science, changing gender does not happen, as being male or female is embedded in the human body down to the DNA level.
The ruling comes in a years-long legal war between campaign group For Women Scotland and the Scottish government over the definition of a woman.
The ruling said, "The unanimous decision of this court is that the definition of the terms woman and sex in the Equality Act 2010 refer to a biological woman and biological sex."
Further, that ruling adopted what President Donald Trump recently, by executive order, concluded about sex in America: It is binary.
He, in fact, said the American government recognizes two genders, male and female.
The UK court's 88-page decision said the "concept of sex is binary" under the Equality Act 2010.
The report noted "Labour Women's Declaration, a gender-critical group, called on Sir Keir Starmer to take concrete action to ensure the judgment is fully reflected in all public sector guidance."
The group said, "The government now needs to instruct all government departments to bring their policies, training and guidance into line with the judgment. The 'clarity and confidence' the ruling brings must also be applied to all positive action initiatives and associations for women within the Labour Party, such as women's branches and committees."
Mermaids, promoters of the transgender lifestyle, claimed the ruling could have "harmful implications."
"We are deeply concerned at the widespread, harmful implications of today's Supreme Court ruling. As LGBT+ organizations across the country, we stand in solidarity with trans, intersex and non-binary folk as we navigate from here…"
Amnesty International claimed, "The ruling does not change the protection trans people are afforded under the protected characteristic of 'gender reassignment,' as well as other provisions under the Equality Act."
Evolutionary biologist Richard Dawkins pointed out, "Supreme Court rules that a woman is legally defined as … a woman. … Yes, the science was settled in the Precambrian [era]. Nice that the law has finally caught up."
The Scottish Parliament created the disaster in 2018 by adopting quotas for transgenders on public sector boards.
Rowling said, "It took three extraordinary, tenacious Scottish women with an army behind them to get this case heard by the Supreme Court and, in winning, they've protected the rights of women and girls across the U.K.. For Women Scotland, I'm so proud to know you."
Conservative leader Kemi Badenoch said, "Women are women. We didn't need a court to tell us that. But here we are. It took a Supreme Court decision to confirm what we all know: that a piece of paper cannot make a man a woman. For too long the price has been paid by individual women taking action to uphold the law, at great personal cost."
John Swinney, first minister for the Scottish government, said, "The Scottish Government accepts today's Supreme Court judgement. The ruling gives clarity between two relevant pieces of legislation passed at Westminster. We will now engage on the implications of the ruling. Protecting the rights of all will underpin our actions."
The decision even was applauded by organizations for lesbians, who long have sought to exclude males who say they are female.
A statement from Reem Alsalem, the United Nations "special rapporteur" on violence against women and girls, praised the decision.
"It represents the triumph of reason and facts based deliberations and the return of common sense. Congratulations to For Women Scotland and all their allies that have supported them in their quest to uphold the rights of women to equality and non-discrimination. The ruling is a recognition that the erasure of the ordinary meaning of sex in law and in policies has rendered it impossible to upholding the protection [of] women, including lesbians on the basis of the characteristic of sex. Beyond the U.K., I hope other jurisdictions are paying attention to this groundbreaking ruling."

President Donald Trump has fought to protect girls and women in their sporting events, as leftists try to flood the competitions with boys and men who say they are female.
One state has refused to go along with the president's executive orders, and now is facing an escalated fight because of the agenda demanded by its governor, Janet Mills, a Democrat who publicly defied the president, threatening that she would see him in court.
Earlier, a variety of federal funding programs for the state were blocked by the president, and now the Washington Stand reports the Trump administration has taken legal action to cut off K-12 funding for the state.
It's over the state's promotion of transgender agenda points, in which boys and men are allowed in sports created for females.
The report explained, "The Department of Education announced last Friday that it had initiated an administrative proceeding to terminate all K-12 funding to the Maine Department of Education, 'including formula and discretionary grants,' over Title IX violations by allowing males who identify as female to compete against and change in front of girls."
The federal government is considering legal action by the Department of Justice against state actors.
"The Department has given Maine every opportunity to come into compliance with Title IX, but the state's leaders have stubbornly refused to do so, choosing instead to prioritize an extremist ideological agenda over their students' safety, privacy, and dignity," said Acting Assistant Secretary for Civil Rights Craig Trainor
The situation right now is that the Department of Education has ruled the state is failing to comply with federal government orders.
State officials have doubled down, refusing to resolve the fight.
While state officials have claimed, "Nothing in Title IX or its implementing regulations prohibits schools from allowing transgender [boys] and [men] to participate on girls' and women's sports teams," the report pointed out that the Nixon administration "explicitly enacted Title IX to create adequate funding and a level playing ground for female athletes. Males are not females."
Nicholas Adolphsen, of the Christian Civic League of Maine, told the Washington Stand, "It's a strange day when you have to go all the way to Washington, D.C., to be heard — but that's exactly what Maine people have had to do. While Governor Mills and Attorney General Frey push a radical agenda, doubling down on boys in girls' sports, President Trump is standing up for Maine's young women and the basic fairness Title IX was built on. Mills and Frey seem to only be listening to the far-left — while the concerns of everyday Mainers are being brushed aside."
The fight is expected to reach the U.S. Supreme Court.
Already, U.S. Department of Agriculture Secretary Brooke Rollins halted some funding of unspecified "administrative and technological functions in schools," the report said. And the USDA paused $100 million to the University of Maine System, later allowing it to be disbursed.
The federal government also has halted some funding to Maine prisons.
WND reported when Mills was at a National Governors Association attended by the president and shouted, "See you in court" at him.
It's not the only fight triggered by the state's leftist officials. Democrats in the legislature have ruled that a representative from one district who criticized the transgender agenda has no right to represent her constituents and cannot vote on legislation, or speak in the legislature.
Courts already are reviewing those restrictions on First Amendment rights.

Acute psychosis, anxiety, delusion, mania, panic attacks, and schizophrenia all at least in part were triggered by the mRNA COVID shots mandated by many governments and even more corporations for workers during the China virus pandemic that killed millions.
Also brain fog, cerebral atrophy, dementia, and mental impairment.
The results are from the "Association Between COVID-19 Vaccination and Neuropsychiatric Conditions" by multiple authors, including Peter McCullough.
A report at Slay News said the "alarming" results reveal that the mRNA treatments, which were unlike any previous "vaccine," "triggered serious neuropsychiatric conditions, causing, suicidal thoughts, violent behavior and homicidal ideation to skyrocket."
"The study also found massive surges in brain injury, cerebral hemorrhage, brain clots, and dementia among those who received the injections," the report explained. "In total, the study identifies 86 serious neuropsychiatric safety signals linked to COVID shots."
The results were published in PrePrints.
The physicians worked with information from the U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention's Vaccine Adverse Event Reporting System, during the period January 1990 through December 2024.
And they found that safety thresholds set by federal agencies were "breached at unprecedented levels."
Among the findings was that homicidal ideation was 25 times more likely among those who took the COVID injections compared to flu shots, violent behavior was 80 times more likely among the COVID crowd, and deadly brain clots were 3,000 times more likely.
The study found dementia 140 times more likely, suicidal thoughts 25 times more likely, and psychosis 440 times more likely.
Also increased were schizophrenia, depression, and violent behavior.
The Slay News report explained that mRNA injections were associated with a 118-fold increase in reports of cognitive adverse events, a 115-fold hike to general psychiatric conditions, and an 80-fold increase in suicidal and homicidal "outcomes."
The study found, "There are alarming safety signals regarding neuropsychiatric conditions following COVID-19 vaccination, compared to the influenza vaccinations alone and to all other vaccinations combined. These data raise concerns about long-term consequences, including continued cognitive decline, dementia, and neuropsychiatric morbidity and mortality."
The recommendation? "An immediate global moratorium on COVID-19 vaccination."

It's one thing to see a lab full of nonthinking human bodies created by some "mad scientist" on a late-night movie; it's another to consider the plan actually being reality.
But that's just what several writers of an article at Technology Review have proposed.
A report at the Christian Institute bluntly explained, "Academics at Stanford University have proposed the creation of 'brain-dead humans' in order to harvest their organs for transplant and research."
The authors at Technology Review are Carsten T. Charlesworth, Henry T. Greely, and Hiromitsu Nakauchi, and they claim making "bodyoids" now can happen, scientifically, and even could be accomplished "without crossing most people's ethical lines."
The benefits they claim? An end to a shortage of organs for donation and no more need to do testing on animals to produce treatments.
"Although it may seem like science fiction, recent technological progress has pushed this concept into the realm of plausibility," they claim, even while conceding, "It may be disturbing to characterize human bodies in such commodifying terms, but the unavoidable reality is that human biological materials are an essential commodity in medicine."
And while the idea is "grotesque or appalling" to many, they claim it's not just scientifically possible, it's plausible enough to justify discussing the technical aspects and the ethics involved.
Peter J. Colosi, associate professor of philosophy at Salve Regina University, said, "You, as the person who you are, exist even when you are not conscious, and this means that other human beings who are not conscious could also do that."
And Heidi Klessig, author of The Brain Death Fallacy, described the concept as "unconscionable" and called for an end to such "morally abhorrent attempts to purposely bioengineer neurologically impaired human clones as a source of 'spare parts.'"
At Technology Review, the trio wrote, "Recent advances in biotechnology now provide a pathway to producing living human bodies without the neural components that allow us to think, be aware, or feel pain. Many will find this possibility disturbing, but if researchers and policymakers can find a way to pull these technologies together, we may one day be able to create 'spare' bodies, both human and nonhuman."
They explained, "Pluripotent stem cells, one of the earliest cell types to form during development, can give rise to every type of cell in the adult body. Recently, researchers have used these stem cells to create structures that seem to mimic the early development of actual human embryos. At the same time, artificial uterus technology is rapidly advancing, and other pathways may be opening to allow for the development of fetuses outside of the body.
"Such technologies, together with established genetic techniques to inhibit brain development, make it possible to envision the creation of 'bodyoids'—a potentially unlimited source of human bodies, developed entirely outside of a human body from stem cells, that lack sentience or the ability to feel pain."
They admit there are unknowns.
"We do not know whether the embryo models recently created from stem cells could give rise to living people or, thus far, even to living mice. We do not know when, or whether, an effective technique will be found for successfully gestating human bodies entirely outside a person. We cannot be sure whether such bodyoids can survive without ever having developed brains or the parts of brains associated with consciousness, or whether they would still serve as accurate models for living people without those brain functions."
And it might not be practical.
They claim the "bodyoids" would be like research cadavers, not being "legally, a living human being."
A report at LifeSiteNews said, "The article is clearly written in the spirit of the ends justifying the means. In their call for action, the authors conclude, 'Caution is warranted, but so is bold vision; the opportunity is too important to ignore.'
"On the contrary, the value of every human being is what is too important to ignore. We value and protect every person because they are made in the image of God, regardless of the way they were brought into the world. Using unconscious people as research subjects is wrong, both in the case of brain-injured people declared 'legally dead' (under the logical fallacy of brain death), and also with this new proposal for bioengineering human clones."

A "Saturday Night Live" skit has social media abuzz, as political conservatives praise the segment while progressives pan it.
The premise of the sketch involves two homosexual men who show up at a friend's gathering with a small baby in tow – a surprise to the others in the room. As their friends question them about why, suddenly, the couple has a child, the men berate their questioners with phrases like, "You can't ask that!"
Commentator Charlie Kirk posted an excerpt from the full video:
Many on X were encouraged that the longstanding comedy show was broadening its horizons regarding who it was OK to mock.
One user posted, "I have not laughed at SNL since I was 12. This was funny!"
A conservative woman was not impressed, stating, "SNL is just following the political winds after record low viewership. Let's not support this smut. Make an alternate SNL that doesn't need descriptive sexual humor. We can do better."
Meanwhile, detractors were dismayed.
"SNL gay dad with baby sketch is awful. putting us back years," replied one user.
"The people that want queer people dead already won, must you also validate them by trying to curry their favor? what are you doing. really," said writer Ayesha Siddiqi.

One of the strategies used by LGBT radicals across the nation has been to push for government rules that require private groups to support the leftist agenda.
For example, they've repeatedly insisted that "nondiscrimination" rules require Christians to promote alternative sexual lifestyle choices whether they want to or not.
For example, take the case of the big-time LGBT ideologues in the Colorado state government who twice tried to force small businesses to promote their ideologies in violation of their Christian faith. The state lost twice at the Supreme Court and ended up costing the state's taxpayers millions of dollars for the officials' campaign to impose their own personal beliefs on citizens.
In the adoption arena, they've used the same "nondiscrimination" agenda to try to demand that those Christian faith-linked groups place vulnerable children with LGBT individuals. They still try, despite the Supreme Court already having ruled that the city of Philadelphia violated constitutional religious protections when it cut ties to a Catholic adoption organization that declined to place foster children with same-sex duos.
Now one state has taken specific action to protect those adoption and foster care organizations.
The Christian Post reports Arkansas Gov. Sarah Huckabee Sanders has signed into law Act 509 after lawmakers overwhelmingly adopted it.
The Keep Kids First Act now bars the state from requiring faith-based organizations to "perform, assist, counsel, recommend, consent to, refer, or participate in any placement of a child for foster care or adoption when the proposed placement would violate the private child placement agency's sincerely held religious or moral beliefs."
Also now banned is government action "against an adoptive or foster parent on the basis of their religious beliefs or '[r]efusal to accept or support any government policy regarding sexual orientation or gender identity that conflicts with' their 'sincerely held religious beliefs,'" the report explained.
It states, "The state government shall not establish or enforce any per se standard, rule, or policy that precludes consideration of a current or prospective foster or pre-adoptive parent for any particular placement based in whole or in part on the person's sincerely held religious beliefs regarding sexual orientation or gender identity."
Greg Chafuen, of the ADF, which has battled such issues in court, said, "Every child deserves a loving home that can provide them stability and opportunities to grow. Yet other states have put politics over people by excluding caring families and faith-based adoption and foster care organizations from helping children find loving homes."
He said he's thankful "Arkansas has taken the critical step to pass HB 1669, the Keep Kids First Act, which prioritizes the well-being of kids by prohibiting state and local government officials from discriminating against adoption and foster care providers and parents simply because of their religious beliefs and moral convictions."
Leftists dislike the protection of religious rights, with the Arkansas ACLU claiming the law is "harmful."
The organization said the state instead should be demanding "affirming" families for children.
"Affirming" is a word used by leftists to describe those who support radical treatments for children caught up in the transgender agenda, including body-altering drugs and mutilating surgeries.
The report noted the Philadelphia decision from the Supreme Court, in 2021, where the justices found the city could not legally exclude Catholic Social Services from its foster program only because the organization refused to place children with same-sex duos.
The opinion noted the city was violating the First Amendment.
"Government fails to act neutrally when it proceeds in a manner intolerant of religious beliefs or restricts practices because of their religious nature," wrote Chief Justice John Roberts for the court opinion.

President Donald Trump has been at odds with many players in America's profitable higher education industry for some time already.
Those campuses frequently were the scenes of anti-Israel protests, even protests in support of the Hamas terrorists in Gaza, who slaughtered 1,200 Israeli citizens in their war-launching attack on Oct. 7, 2023.
That's resulted in accusations of anti-Semitism and a demand from Trump that officials running those lucrative institutions balance the equation and protect Jewish students.
Harvard is among those where officials have simply refused to cooperate.
And Trump now has responded.
"Perhaps Harvard should lose its Tax Exempt Status and be Taxed as a Political Entity if it keeps pushing political, ideological, and terrorist-inspired/supporting "Sickness?" Remember, Tax Exempt Status is totally contingent on acting in the PUBLIC INTEREST!" he wrote.
Trump already has frozen some $2.2 billion in grants and $60 million in contracts with Harvard, which has been unrepentant.
Harvard President Alan Garber, in fact, said, "No government—regardless of which party is in power—should dictate what private universities can teach, whom they can admit and hire, and which areas of study and inquiry they can pursue."
The Washington Examiner pointed out that Harvard's endowment now is in the range of $50 billion, working as a nonprofit.
"Losing tax-exempt status would be another financial blow to Harvard, which receives tax-exempt donations from rich alumni. However, it's unclear if Trump has the power to make that determination on his own," the report said. "Almost all colleges and universities in the United States accept federal funding, making them dependent on the government for operations. Trump has sought to use that fact to gain leverage over how they address protest activity and other functions."
"The showdown will likely continue for at least the next several weeks, if not longer. Two organizations representing the Harvard faculty sued the Trump administration last week over its threats to cut federal funding."
On social media, thousands already had commented, with:
"Then stop taking federal money."
"Harvard can teach what it wants. It just can't do it on the taxpayer\'s dime while discriminating against Jews."
"Be private"
"Then, you can feel free to turn down the $9 billion in funds from the taxpayer."
"DEAL — no federal funding for Harvard, use your own endowment. Let's get it done."
"Adios federal funding. Enjoy your independence."
"No one is telling you what you can and can't teach. Donald Trump is just saying we will not fund it. Why would we fund something that does not align with government policy? Teach what you want. You're not getting our money."

Democrats long have linked threats, specifically the threat of violence, to their opinions about their political foes.
Joe Biden once boasted if younger he would have taken Donald Trump out and beaten him up.
U.S. Sen. Chuck Schumer stood in front of the Supreme Court and threatened justices would suffer the consequences if they ruled against his opinion.
The New York Post condemned the party for accepting their supporters' "escalating calls for violence."
That would be to include those protesting on behalf of murder suspect Luigi Mangione, accused of the shooting death of health care executive Brian Thompson.
One leftist message in Denver's protest read, "Hands off or heads off."
The Washington Examiner documented how a new study found that 55% of all self-identifying "liberals" confirm they believe killing President Donald Trump is "a justifiable means of pursuing their political goals."
The report revealed, "This is the fruit of hysteria that Democratic politicians and their allies in the news media have nurtured in their followers for the past eight years. This is a political faction that considers 'misgendering' to be 'literal violence,' but it is one also building an assassination culture."
To that end, comments by George Soros-linked Philadelphia District Attorney Larry Krasner that Trump and his supporters should be "punched in the face as hard as possible" is just one of many.
But a report in the Daily Wire confirms it's likely to rebound politically.
"The Republican Party of Pennsylvania told The Daily Wire on Monday that it asked the Justice Department to investigate Krasner over his March suggestion that Trump and his supporters were 'fascists' who needed to be 'punched,'" the report said.
Krasner is running for his third term in office, but Pennsylvania GOP spokesman Greg Rothman told the DOJ, "Violence and threats are never acceptable, but they are particularly egregious when used as a political tool targeting the President of the United States of America and his supporters."
The letter, obtained by the Daily Wire, said, "The safety of President Trump, Republicans, and the integrity of our American republic rely on threats like District Attorney Krasner's being investigated and, if appropriate, punished to the fullest extent of the law."
The letter suggested the investigation could focus on whether Krasner made a "potential criminal threat" against Trump.
Krasner, making the challenged comments, had fallen back on a common Democrat talking point: Trump and Republicans are Nazis.
He said, "Trump likes crime. Fascists like crime. Right-wing Republican MAGA people like crime and they like it because it gins up a crisis that doesn't have to be, which allows them to scapegoat different groups of marginalized people so they can eliminate our rights. This is a very old playbook.
"I know exactly where we need to be with this one: loud, proud, standing up and in their faces. These are fundamentally fascists, and it will not do us any good to try to appease them. They are bullies who need to be punched in the face as hard as possible, and that is the only way that all the people around us who are so frightened will understand they can stand up, too."
Tellingly, amid Democrat calls for violence, there have been two assassination attempts against Trump and at least one against a member of the U.S. Supreme Court.
