Multiple radicals have unleashed their violence on American university campuses this week, and whether it's part of the leftist agenda that put Muslim "democratic socialist" Zohran Mamdani into the office of New York City's mayor or not, it's causing alarm.

In both cases students displayed hatred and vulgar language (be forewarned about videos) and attacked conservative expressions simply because the statements were being made.

One was at what apparently was a Steven Crowder event at the University of Oklahoma.

Ex-FBI chief James Comey, charged with lying to Congress, insists that he's being selectively and vindictively prosecuted and that he never committed the offenses.

But a trove of evidence released in response to his claims by prosecutors undermines his case.

U.S. Attorney Lindsey Halligan filed a response to Comey's demand that the court dismiss his indictment for vindictive prosecution.

And it includes "bombshell, damning evidence" in his own handwritten note on FBI letterhead confirming his knowledge of and participation in "the Russian collusion criminal conspiracy against Trump."

The exhibits include statements from Comey, "from his burner gmail with his alias Reinhold Niebuhr, that, 'At this point it would shouting into the wind. Some day they will figure it out. And as Jack and Ben point out, my decision will be one a president elect Clinton will be very grateful for (though that wasn't why I did it).'"

He also, responding to a planted New York Times hit piece against Trump, told "FBI special government employee Daniel Richman, 'Well done my friend. Who knew that would. E so uh fun."

SNAP is back, according to confirmation from the White House, but its benefits now are being cut in half because of the Schumer Shutdown. And the White House has advised the judge who ordered all of the available reserves be spent there's now no way to address any emergency.

The government's SNAP program, basically food stamps for tens of millions, was closing down on Nov. 1 when its money ran out because of the government shutdown demanded by Democrats in the U.S. Senate.

While the GOP proposed a clean funding resolution, continuing the spending as it had been for several weeks, Democrats demanded the government raid Americans' paychecks for $1.5 trillion for broadcast propaganda, health care for illegal aliens and more.

GOP members in the Senate, and the White House, said that was impossible, so the government shutdown is into its second month.

Leftist groups sued when they realized food stamps was going bust, and a judge ordered the White House to spend down to nothing all the reserves.

The Washington Examiner reported Trump will "deplete" the Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program to provide half benefits for November.

Secular educators in the United Kingdom have decided to apply "trigger warnings" to parts of the Bible.

And Andrea Williams, chief of the Christian Legal Center, said it's crazy.

"Applying trigger warnings to salvation narratives that have shaped our civilization is not only misguided, but absurd. Singling out the Bible in this way is discriminatory and deeply ill-informed. To suggest that the crucifixion story involves 'sexual violence' is not just inaccurate, it's a profound misreading of the text.

"The account of Jesus's death is not a tale of trauma, it is the ultimate expression of love, sacrifice, and redemption, central to the Christian faith," Williams said.

It is the Christian Institute that reported English literature students at the University of Sheffield now are being told to prepare for "graphic bodily injury and sexual violence" in the Gospels of Matthew, Mark, Luke and John.

Same warning for Genesis, where the lives of Cain and Abel are documented.

It was just a year ago that Nottingham University put itself up for mockery when it said the "expressions of Christian faith" in medieval literature were potentially distressing.

Officials at Sheffield said, "A content note is a standard academic tool used to signpost when sensitive or graphic content will be discussed. Its purpose is to ensure subjects can be highlighted and discussed openly and critically, while preparing students who might find such details difficult."

But Angus Sauil, of the Christian Institute, pointed out, "Neither the Gospels nor Genesis give explicit accounts of Abel's murder or Jesus' crucifixion, and what the 'sexual violence' label refers to is mystifying. While Christians and unbelievers alike can be profoundly moved by the powerful and enduring words of Scripture, such passages are far less explicit than many of the set texts English Literature students come into contact with."

He continued, "What people are more likely to find offensive in the Bible are its bold assertions: that there is one God; that all have sinned and fall short of his glory; that Jesus Christ is God; that he died to offer forgiveness and eternal life to all who believe in him and repent; and that salvation is only possible through him. Such truths are offensive to many, but they are a tremendous blessing to those who believe. The only 'trigger warning' the Bible needs is 'This book may completely transform your life.'"

The Nottingham controversy, earlier, had the school telling students "Chaucer and his Contemporaries" contained "incidences of violence, mental illness, and expressions of Christian faith."

According to the Daily Mail, Monsignor Michael Nazir-Ali, the former Anglican Bishop of Rochester who converted to Catholicism, said, "Students have to be exposed to what is unpleasant and frightening so they can learn to deal with that. The Bible is very restrained in how it describes both the murder of Abel by Cain and the crucifixion, particularly if you compare the accounts of the Evangelists with something like Mel Gibson's 'The Passion of the Christ.'"

Sen. Ted Cruz, R-Texas, has called for the immediate impeachment of an anti-Trump federal judge who has been revealed to have taken part in a scheme to spy on the telephone records of a long list of sitting U.S. senators.

It is Judge James Boasberg who is the subject of criticism.

He's already, according to an analysis by experts, been revealed as a judge who made himself "like a foreign diplomat" in insisting the Trump administration following his agenda on foreign affairs.

In a stunning development in President Donald Trump's war on illegal and dangerous drugs that are being pushed into America, the aide to a Democrat governor has been arrested on suspicion of cocaine trafficking.

The aide to Gov. Maura Healey, a Democrat in Massachusetts, was fired immediately.

A report from Fox News said it was LaMar Cook, 45, of Springfield, who pleaded not guilty at his arraignment and was ordered held without bond.

A congressional report has found that Joe Biden's aides arranged for the autopen signings of executive actions, directed policy and orchestrated his public appearances, literally exercising presidential authorities without his knowledge or consent, as his cognitive decline advanced.

The 90-page report, "The Biden Autopen President: Decline, Delusion, and Deception in the White House," charges that Biden's close associates actually ran the government during his final months in office.

U.S. Rep. James Comer, R-Ky., the chief of the House Oversight Committee, concluded the findings have raised "constitutional and criminal concerns" about actions "Biden" took while in office.

A suburb of Atlanta is being challenged for a scheme it created that allows anyone to silence the speech of anyone else, if they don't like the speech.

The dispute, which appears to be a direct challenge to the First Amendment, erupted because someone objected to the Christian message being offered on a city street, and with a city permit, by preacher Jason Cantrell.

It is the American Center for Law and Justice that explained he has, for years, shared the Gospel on a public sidewalk outside an abortion business.

"He preaches to passersby and offers encouragement and prayer to women entering," the organization said.

Like many speaking in public areas, where street noise and more can interfere, he used, with a city permit, a small system to amplify his voice.

This summer, Forest Park police issued him a citation anyway.

He was cited "after officers claimed he had been asked three times to turn the volume down. The problem wasn't that Jason didn't have a permit – he did. Instead, the city's permit includes a troubling clause stating that it becomes 'null and void' if any complaints are received about the noise level," the legal team noted.

The officers simply declared his permit void and ticketed him.

"In other words, the city has created a system in which anyone who dislikes a message can silence a speaker simply by complaining. That is not how the First Amendment works," the ACLJ explained.

Under the city's scheme, "officials have made lawful speech entirely contingent on whether listeners react favorably. Once anyone complains – regardless of whether the sound exceeds legal limits – the city automatically treats the permit as void. That means police can punish a speaker who was fully in compliance with the permit's terms, simply because others objected to the message being spoken," the ACLJ noted.

That's called a "heckler's veto" and long has been demanded by critics of Christian messaging, but also long has been struck down by the Supreme Court.

"The Constitution does not allow speech to be restricted based on listener reaction or public hostility," the legal team said, and the Forest Park plan "does exactly" what the high court has forbidden.

Cantrell's efforts to follow the requirements were confirmed because the city renewed his permit even after police ticketed him, although the faulty condition remained.

"Jason's case underscores how such policies operate in practice. When the government ties speech rights to audience approval, unpopular or religious expression will always be the first target. A preacher's message about faith or the sanctity of life may be deeply meaningful to some and uncomfortable to others – but under our Constitution, discomfort is not a basis for censorship," the ACLJ said.

While Cantrell now faces a misdemeanor municipal court case, the ACLJ said the problem is far bigger.

"The First Amendment guarantees that government officials cannot suppress speech simply because someone complains about it. That protection applies equally to street preachers, political advocates, and protestors of every viewpoint. Forest Park's policy violates those principles by giving private citizens – and by extension, the government – uncontrolled discretion to silence speech they dislike."

One of the revelations about the corruption involved in Jack Smith's lawfare against President Donald Trump during Joe Biden's time in office was that the federal government was weaponized to spy on the telephone records of Republican senators.

That scheme now has resulted in a pledge by one of those senators, Marsha Blackburn, R-Tenn., to sue.

A report from Just the News notes that phone records of multiple senators were seized by Smith during that time frame.

Casino gambling was approved by voters for the historic Colorado mining towns of Black Hawk and Central City some decades ago.

Since then, there have been many controversies over the industry that is given to installing Las Vegas landscapes at the 8,000-foot elevations of the Colorado foothills towns.

For example, the historic Lace House, in the way of one casino project, simply was picked up and moved to another, non-historic, location and made part of a tourist stop.

Multiple tall casinos, up to about 35 stories, now tower above the valley in Black Hawk that used to be flooded in the spring, in an "ick" procedure, when, according to local personalities, wealthy Central City residents would release water to flush the sewage that had accumulated on the streets and ditches over the winter, downhill to Black Hawk.

Central City patrons were the elites of their time, patronizing their own opera house, at times used as a stage by some of the elite performers including Joseph Jefferson, Edwin Booth, Fanie Barlow, Buffalo Bill, P.T. Barnum's circus, later Samuel Ramey and Beverly Sills.

Central City, in another controversial move, spent millions annexing land and building an 8-mile-long "main street" to access an exit from Interstate 70 that would have gamblers direct access to their town.

The towns are in Gilpin County, which has its own history of scandalous and offensive behavior including racism. Even after the casinos started appearing, the county paid $700,000 to settle a lawsuit by a black county resident who, stunningly, was identified in official sheriff's department documents as "N***** Roy."

Now it is G3 Gaming, of Raleigh, N.C., that is proposing the Gregory Gulch Gaming Resort project, which would be 100,000 square feet, 1,000 slot machines, 50 gaming tables, gift shops, restaurants, 600 hotel rooms, 2,000 parking spaces and 120 housing units for workers in the very valley that connects Central City's heights to Black Hawk, downhill.

The 27-story project, however, would tick off locals, for sure.

A description of the agenda in the Denver Post noted the building would cut off Central City homes from any sunlight for months out of the year.

The report described how resident Bob Powe sits on his front porch, with coffee, to watch as the sun reaches his house of Casey Street.

"The warmth from the sky, Powe said, is vital in this Gilpin County town that's perched at 8,500 feet, and where during the fall and winter the sun sits low on the horizon and shades Central City for part of the day," the report described.

Even those few hours now are endangered, he said.

"This house depends on the sun to heat it up," the 74-year-old said. "After 160 years, they're trying to take away my sunshine."

Climate change activists appear not to have gotten involved in the dispute, yet.

City officials whose decision on the project is not yet final suggest it gives Central City an opportunity to compete against Black Hawk, where two tall casino hotels already are located.

The issue is money, Central City's boom at the opening of gambling has dwindled while downhill Black Hawk's hasn't. Central City got about $1 million in state gaming tax revenue in fiscal 2025, while Black Hawk got $12.2 million.

Said one Central City official, "My concern is, at this point in time, Central City is dying."

Powe said that the new tower would simply destroy the view from many Central City points.

"He has posted 'No Tower' and 'Not Black Hawk' signs around his home," the Post said.

Even worse, "You'll be able to look right into the hotel windows and they'll be able to look right at me. This will destroy my privacy, the view and the sunshine," he said.

Central City's present height limit for buildings is 53 feet. G3 wants its project to soar 345 feet.

City officials estimate they could collect $8 million a year from G3's work.

Central City was founded in 1859 when gold dust as found, exploding quickly to 15,000 residents. Theaters, hotels and Central City still recognizes its historic prostitution industry with annual Lou Bunch "bed races" on its main street.

Peter Droege, chief of a foundation that works to preserve and restore the historic Belvidere Theater, suggested a project the size of an airport at the town's entrance may be too much.

"I support economic development as long as it conforms to the historic nature of the town," he told the Post.

The title to his home traces back some 150 years to the man who originally discovered gold there.

"Central City just has a historic quality that not many other communities in the country have — where you drive into it and it feels like you are stepping back in time," he said in the report.

Central City's district, where about 300 now live, actually produced some 6.3 million ounces of gold, 200 tons, that would be worth around $18 trillion on today's market. Bob Dylan once performed in the town, failing to launch his later successful career, and Stetson hats were invented there.

Multiple movies and television shows have been created there.
