International Red Cross
Who is Pierre Krähenbühl? In addition to being appointed to head the International Red Cross this week, he is the man who presided over one of the largest scandals in UN (UNRWA) history. Ethics probe found “credible & corroborated” allegations of serious ethical abuses by Krahenbuhl; managers' “sexual misconduct, nepotism, retaliation, discrimination & other abuses—for personal gain—to suppress legitimate dissent & otherwise achieve their personal objectives.” To whitewash his abuses, Krähenbühl went to his friends in certain Swiss media to promote a false conspiracy theory that he was ousted by a Trump-Israel-Jewish cabal targeting his agency. Please also recall that it is the Red Cross that facilitates the PA's Pay to Slay program.

Biden Gave $5 Million to Terror-Tied Islamists in 2023 (Still Much Less than Trump) Harvard Harris Poll: There's a lot to unpack in this poll, though the most shocking thing is the outright support by 21% of registered voters (in this poll) admitting to supporting Iran-backed terrorists. There are just too many examples of bigotry and group target bullying against Jews and Israelis.

The speech was ultimately shut down by the university president. “What you saw play out actually was democracy and free speech and academic freedom," said UMD President Pines. No, what you saw play out was mob censorship. It was a bastardization of free speech and the antithesis of democracy. These shout-downs happen far too often on college campuses — and with the approval of college administrators.
