🚨 Telling Moment: Berkeley Refuses to Commit to Transparency on Foreign Funding When asked by Congressman Michael Baumgartner whether UC Berkeley would disclose every dollar of foreign spending, Chancellor Rich Lyons refused—repeatedly. “I’m not ready to make that commitment today.” He claimed Berkeley vets “countries of concern” and even... show more

Anything other than complete and full disclosure and in quarterly intervals by ALL institutions - public and private - is unacceptable. Section 117 of the Higher Ed Act does NOT go far enough. And the federal government does a poor job of monitoring and enforcing this. Report it all. Or, if you don’t want to report every dollar of that Chinese or Qatari or Saudi or Russian money, don’t take it. Moreover, ALL institutions and relevant federal and state coordinating bodies should post prominently in their websites: 1) how much money is being taken, 2) from which foreign country, and 3) the purpose and use of the foreign gift. This really isn’t hard. And it’s long past time to make these changes and enforce what’s on the books now - and then some.

@RepBaumgartner I never knew this. He says as a public university he can’t disclose foreign influence. Should be the opposite under California’s Public Records Act @HarmeetKDhillon @RepKiley @TheKevinDalton

@RepBaumgartner Dereliction of duty that there wasn’t much more on foreign funding to US schools K - University. Billions from Qatar Foundation headed by Sheikha Moza bint Nasser, mother of the Emir, who glorified Yahya Sinwar.

🇺🇸 REP. THOMAS MASSIE: I’M NOT COMPLETELY IN SYNC WITH THE PRESIDENT ON FOREIGN POLICY “I’m not completely in sync with the president on foreign policy, I’ll have to admit that. This is the problem when you get entangled with these other countries. Do you own all of the things that they do when you are sending them money? How do you vet them? Who qualifies and who doesn’t? I’m in favor of sending nobody foreign aid and funding nobody’s wars overseas other than ones that America has to fight.” Source: Thomas Massie

🔥 Berkeley Chancellor Defends Event Denying Hamas Rape of Israeli Women Rep. Mary Miller confronted UC Berkeley Chancellor Rich Lyons over a February event hosted by the Gender and Women’s Studies Department titled “Feminist and Queer Solidarities with Palestine.” During the event, speakers denied that Hamas raped Israeli women on October 7 and claimed that Israel was “weaponizing feminism.” Miller asked the obvious: “Why was this event ever allowed on UC Berkeley’s campus?” Lyons defended it as a legitimate online faculty event, organized by a “fine professor”—and claimed that although the ideas were “controversial,” he wouldn’t cancel it because of the “marketplace of ideas.” Miller was blunt: “Silence means something. This is terrible.” Bottom line: Berkeley gave an institutional platform to the denial of Hamas’s sexual violence—and its leadership stood behind it in the name of “open debate.” Academic freedom should never be a shield for dehumanization.

NEW: President Trump indicates he’s open to cutting off ALL federal funding to Harvard University and slams them for not giving DHS information on their foreign students. Trump wrote on Truth Social: “Why isn’t Harvard saying that almost 31% of their students are from FOREIGN LANDS, and yet those countries, some not at all friendly to the United States, pay NOTHING toward their student’s education, nor do they ever intend to. Nobody told us that! We want to know who those foreign students are, a reasonable request since we give Harvard BILLIONS OF DOLLARS, but Harvard isn’t exactly forthcoming. We want those names and countries. Harvard has $52,000,000, use it, and stop asking for the Federal Government to continue GRANTING money to you!” Harvard should not receive a single dollar of taxpayer money.

When asked about President Trump’s suggestion the Supreme Court justices who ruled to strike down his sweeping tariffs were motivated by foreign interests, U.S. Trade Representative Amb. Jamieson Greer says, “I’m not speaking for the president.” “What I'm telling you is that when the president talks about foreign influences, at a minimum, what we see is that foreign companies are involved in the coalitions, the PR effort. They're involved in the cases, and they don't want these tariffs. It's not a secret,” he adds.

ATM will sponsor a foreign agents bill to designate all foreign-funded NGOs and entities as foreign agents. These NGOs and entities are actively in the political terrain on behalf of their foreign funders, who want to advance foreign interests in the country. This measure is crucial to ensure that domestic policies and decisions are made by South Africans, for South Africans, without undue foreign influence. By identifying and regulating these foreign agents, we aim to safeguard our sovereignty and promote transparency. The People must Govern, not foreign funded NGOs.

🎯 Kiley Grills Berkeley Chancellor: Should Blocking Jewish Students Be Expellable? Rep. Kevin Kiley pressed UC Berkeley Chancellor Rich Lyons on whether physically obstructing Jewish students' movement—as happened at Sather Gate—should result in automatic expulsion or termination. Lyons dodged. “If someone is physically stopping someone from getting onto their campus because of who they are, that person should be expelled, shouldn't they?” — Kiley Lyons refused to commit. Instead, he floated “tiered responses,” deflections about context, and meaningless investigations—despite claiming there’s “zero tolerance.” Kiley also challenged Berkeley’s decision to reward rule-breaking encampment organizers by endowing a chair now held by Dr. Ussama Makdisi, who has glorified terrorist “martyrs.” Lyons again refused to condemn the past deal—saying only, “I can’t second guess my predecessor.” Weak leadership. No accountability. Radicalism rewarded.

Of course not all rapes are committed by foreign born men. Most foreign born men are decent people who would never commit such a crime However, we have to make more checks on who is coming here Personally, I would like to see fewer people coming here full stop. Do you agree?

BOOM 🔥 Tucker Carlson has won the crowd… he articulated exactly why AIPAC needs to Register as a Foreign Lobby “This is something I talked to Charlie a lot about.. because he was being attacked as an antisemite for asking that question — it’s totally fine to ask questions, like why a foreign government tried to sink one of our ships in 1967. That doesn’t make you an antisemite. I’m 56, my kids are grown, I’m just not afraid of you. You can kill me, shoot me, put me in jail, but I’m not gonna shit up.”

“A cutting edge blueprint for the future of semiconductor chip design, called ‘RISC-V’… got it’s start right here on the campus of UC Berkeley. The same Berkeley professor who helped create the technology, is now partnering with Tsinghua University in China… The problem is that the TBSI partnership has a record of collaboration with Chinese military-linked universities. We must make sure that advanced technologies, such as RISC-V, developed through federal funding support are not being transferred to China by way of under-regulated collaborations between U.S. and Chinese universities at the cost of America’s national security.” - Chairman

Last night at UC Berkeley, Jewish students were threatened, assaulted, and prevented from attending a speech by a Jewish speaker on campus. Campus police shut down this private event when it became clear that they could not protect the students. Multiple students reported being spat on, screamed at, called derogatory names like "dirty Jew" or "you Jew," and physically assaulted by protestors. Jewish students deserve to navigate their lives without fear, and it is crucial that there are significant repercussions for those hindering this goal, including the responsible organizations and individuals. Ultimately, the UC Berkeley administration bears the responsibility of ensuring the safety of Jewish students on campus, a duty that was not fulfilled last night.

In the House of Commons this afternoon, I challenged the Government on why British elections are not reserved for British citizens, called for a review of cases where foreign nationals convicted of child sex offences should be deported, and asked why there is still a defence funding shortfall amid rising welfare costs, foreign aid spending and Net Zero schemes. Britain’s priorities need to change.

Q: The president has promised that after 4 years, if we do not provide you with constant electricity, do not vote for us. Bwala: No, what he (Tinubu) said is a statement of intent that is backed up by a commitment to make it happen. When you have such commitment, the next thing is to put it to work, which is what he has been doing.

When asked whether Democrats would reconsider their stance on funding for the Department of Homeland Security, Sen. Chris Murphy (D-CT) says the administration has not adjusted its immigration policy enough to gain Democratic support in Congress. “I believe that the administration should make a commitment to legally prosecuting the laws of this nation,” he says. “I don't have any obligation to fund a Department of Homeland Security that is violating the law every day.”
