White House shuts down GOP calls to bring in National Guard for college protests
[HILL] The White House punted on Speaker Mike Johnson’s (R-La.) demand for President Biden to call in the National Guard to college campuses amid mass protests over the Israel-Hamas war on Thursday.

Johnson visited Columbia University on Wednesday, the first of major pro-Palestine protests that have spread to dozens of college campuses around the country, and said that Biden should call in the National Guard to quell the peaceful demonstrations.

White House spokesperson Karine Jean-Pierre said Thursday that the issue is not up to the president.

"That is something for the governors to decide," she told reporters, noting that Biden has previously criticized the protests as antisemitic.

Johnson went a step further Wednesday, calling the protests "dangerous."

"If this is not contained quickly and if these threats and intimidation are not stopped, there is an appropriate time for the National Guard," he said.

Student and faculty protests have urged the Biden administration to back a permanent cease-fire in the Israel-Hamas war and to stop supplying military aid to Israel, and they have advocated for their universities to divest from Israeli interests.

#1 The WH also refused to use the Guard on 6Jan. Anarchy and election interference (cancellation) are the goals. If the polls are unsafe, or the voters cannot reach them, it's all off.

#4 My lovely wife works remotely for Northwestern University in Chicago.

She tells me there is an announcement on the faculty website about a 'student group' setting up an encampment on campus grounds. Apparently the group did not go through the approval process before setting up their perimeter.

Faculty are warned to avoid the area as removal actions are undertaken.

#7 ...What has been kinda funny is how many of the protesters have been yelling that no one is going to 'Kent State' them.

Which tells me that at the very least, they're a bit concerned about the possibility.

Sleep tight, protesters.

#10 George Soros is a Jew, too. Someone needs to start a conference call to get everyone on the same page.
Here's how he works, watch this in pieces while you do the dishes or drive to work.
