From my "favorite rag"... Barron Trump, 18, won’t be delegate for dad at RNC: ‘Prior commitments’
By Diana Glebova Published May 10, 2024, 6:04 p.m. ET
Donald Trump’s son Barron won’t be a delegate at the GOP Convention because of “prior commitments,” former first lady Melania Trump’s office told The Post on Friday.
Barron Trump, 18, was invited Wednesday to attend the Republican Convention in Milwaukee as a delegate for the Florida GOP — the first time the youngest member of the Trump family would have been directly involved in politics.
“While Barron is honored to have been chosen as a delegate by the Florida Republican Party, he regretfully declines to participate due to prior commitments,” The Office of Melania Trump said in a statement.
He would have been a delegate for the Sunshine State alongside three of his older siblings — Don Jr., Eric and Tiffany — likely aiding in nominating his father to be the official Republican presidential nominee at the convention slated for July 15-18.
His fourth sibling, Ivanka Trump, who has said she will stay out of politics during her father’s re-election run, was the only Trump sibling not on the list.
Other GOP delegates connected to the Trump family include Don Jr.’s fiancée Kimberly Guilfoyle and Tiffany’s husband Michael Boulos, NBC News reported.
Barron, a soon-to-be high school graduate — who is around 6 feet 7 inches tall — has largely been kept out of the spotlight and has never been reported to have said a word in public.
He usually travels alongside his mother and is rarely pictured out in public, but his recent 18th birthday could mean he will be more involved on the campaign trail.
Earlier Friday, Donald Trump revealed that Barron did have an interest in politics and at times, even advises him.
“He’s a little on the tall side. I will tell you, he’s a tall one, but he is a good-looking guy. And he’s really been a great student. And he does like politics. It’s sort of funny,” Trump told “Kayal and Company” on Philadelphia’s Talk Radio 1210 WPHT.
“He’ll tell me sometimes, ‘Dad, this is what you have to do,’ ” Trump added.
The former president also commented on where Barron will be going to college after a report from the Daily Beast he would be attending NYU but didn’t disclose where he would ultimately end up.
“So anyway, he’s a good guy. He’s a senior now in high school, and he’ll be going to college. And you know, a lot of, a lot of these choices of colleges are changing because you see what’s going on in the last month,” Trump said, apparently referring to anti-Israel campus protests.

‘Princeton Princess’ whines that she’s ‘starving,’ blames university after choosing to go on anti-Israel hunger strike
By Isabel Keane Published May 9, 2024 Updated May 9, 2024, 11:00 a.m. ET
(Send them to Gaza. FWIW, the moronic tub o'lard looks like she could live off her fat reserves for at least two weeks... or more.)
A student-led hunger strike began on Princeton’s campus on Friday.
X / @CollinRugg
An anti-Israel protester at Princeton University sounded off about how she was “starving” during her self-imposed hunger strike and accused the prestigious university of purposefully “physically weakening” students.
Video shows the woman and other female protesters railing into a megaphone about the New Jersey Ivy League school’s refusal to divest from Israel following Hamas’ unprovoked attack on the Jewish state on Oct. 7.
“This is absolutely unfair. My peers and I, we are starving. We are physically exhausted. I am quite literally shaking right now as you can see,” the protester says into the megaphone in a widely shared video on X.
A student-led hunger strike began Friday, with protesters demanding the school meet with them to discuss divestment and drop the criminal and disciplinary charges against two students who were arrested for erecting tents and 13 other peers who were arrested for trespassing an academic hall last month, Princeton’s student newspaper, the Daily Princetonian, reported Monday.
After meeting with administrators on Monday, students indicated that they have no intention of halting their protest, which has left them “immunocompromised,” according to the female protester whose rally cry has gone viral online.
“We are both hot and cold at the same time. We are all immunocompromised and based on the university’s meeting yesterday with some of our bargaining team, they would love to continue physically weakening us because they can’t stand to say no to unjust murder,” she said to cheers and banging of drums.
Despite the complaints, the woman in the video concedes that going on a hunger strike was her choice.
“I will say I truly do not feel like I am doing anything special. This is my choice, and I would not spend my birthday doing anything other than being here,” she said.
“No matter how physically weak we may be, united we have never been stronger,” she added as the crowd began to chant, “The people united will never be defeated!”
According to the student newspaper, at least 15 students were taking part in the hunger strike Sunday night.
It was not immediately clear how that number may have changed throughout the week.
School president Christopher Eisgruber, graduate school dean Rodney Priestley and Amaney Jamal, dean of the School of Public and International Affairs, told students in an email Tuesday that administrators were working with the protesters.
“My colleagues and I are now in direct conversation with the protestors,” he wrote. “I have told them that we can consider their concerns through appropriate processes that respect the interests of multiple parties and viewpoints, but we cannot allow any group to circumvent those processes or exert special leverage.”

RFK Jr. said doctors found a dead worm in his head after it ate part of his brain
By Isabel Keane Published May 8, 2024, 10:26 a.m. ET
(Oh, dear God. To think I actually considered voting for this guy. omg All I can say is... Trump 2024. Waaaa.)
Independent presidential candidate Robert F. Kennedy Jr. claimed in a deposition taken more than a decade ago that a worm ate part of his brain before dying inside his head.
RFK Jr., now 70, made the bizarre admission during his 2012 divorce proceeding, detailing “cognitive problems” he initially feared were a brain tumor — only for a second doctor to tell him the dark spot on his scans were a dead parasite, according to the New York Times.
Before getting a second opinion, Kennedy had been set to undergo surgery at Duke University Medical Center in North Carolina by the same doctor who operated on his uncle, Sen. Edward Kennedy (D-Mass.), who died of brain cancer in 2009.
However, a doctor at New York-Presbyterian Hospital called Kennedy while he was packing for the trip and said he believed the abnormality “was caused by a worm that got into my brain and ate a portion of it and then died,” the candidate recalled in the transcribed interview.
Kennedy said he did not know when he may have contracted the parasite, but suggested it might have been during an earlier trip to South Asia. Doctors interviewed by the Times suggested it was likely a pork tapeworm larva, which have been known to cause seizures, headaches, and dizziness when they start to die.

(Chomp, chomp, chomp...)
RFK Jr. also said during the 2012 deposition that he suffered from mercury poisoning after eating too many tuna fish sandwiches, which one doctor told the Times was probably the actual cause of Kennedy’s neurological issues.
“I have cognitive problems, clearly,” the son of the late attorney general and senator from New York said at the time. “I have short-term memory loss, and I have longer-term memory loss that affects me.”
Kennedy said he suffered from “severe brain fog” and had trouble retrieving words around the same time that his mercury levels were 10 times what the Environmental Protection Agency considers safe.
The vaccine-skeptic politician said he was certain his diet was causing the issue.
“I loved tuna fish sandwiches. I ate them all the time,” he said.
At the time he disclosed his health issues, Kennedy was in the process of divorcing his second wife, Mary Richardson Kennedy, and was arguing that his earning power had been reduced by his medical issues.
The longtime environmental lawyer added that he made several changes following the two health scares, including getting more sleep, traveling less and consuming less fish.
The septuagenarian has used his relative youth to make the case for his insurgent candidacy against former President Donald Trump, 77, and President Biden, 81.
When asked if his health issues would impact his ability to serve as president, a spokesperson for the Kennedy campaign told the Times, “That is a hilarious suggestion, given the competition.”
The longshot candidate has suffered from a variety of health issues over the years, including atrial fibrillation, a common heartbeat abnormality that increases the risk of stroke or heart failure.
Kennedy also said in the deposition that he had been treated for hepatitis C caused by heroin use in his youth.

Jackie Lacey, 1st Black L.A. D.A., Backs Nathan Hochman over George Gascón
JOEL B. POLLAK 7 May 2024 3:58
(God bless, Jackie Lacey.)
Jackie Lacey, the first black and first female Los Angeles County District Attorney (DA), who was defeated by George Soros-backed George Gascón in 2020, has endorsed challenger Nathan Hochman in the 2024 race for D.A.
The Hochman campaign released a statement Monday:
Jackie Lacey, a lifelong Democrat and the first woman and first African-American to serve as District Attorney of Los Angeles County, announced today that she is endorsing Nathan Hochman for District Attorney.
She said D.A. George Gascon has emboldened criminals and caused an increase in crime by failing to properly enforce the law.
“We must have leadership at the District Attorney’s Office that understands its mission is to seek justice by, among other things, sending a message that criminal behavior is unacceptable in our county. We don’t have that with the current District Attorney,” Lacey said. “Criminals are more brazen because they know they have allies embedded in that office. They know the office policies better than we do. It is time to elect someone who will be proactive at making us safer.”
Lacey, who served as Los Angeles County District Attorney from 2012 to 2020, said she supports Hochman because of his decades of criminal justice experience, as both a prosecutor and defense attorney, and the fact that he will strive every day to improve public safety.
“I am endorsing Nathan Hochman for District Attorney because I feel a lot less safe than I did four years ago,” Lacey said. “It’s time to thank and excuse the current district attorney and elect someone with a conscience. Please join me and vote for Nathan Hochman for District Attorney.”
Hochman, who has served as a federal prosecutor, U.S. Assistant Attorney General overseeing the DOJ’s Tax Division, President of the L.A. City Ethics Commission and as a defense attorney, said he is extremely grateful for Lacey’s support. He previously was endorsed by Steve Cooley, who served three terms as District Attorney, and the Association of Deputy District Attorneys, the union that represents L.A. County prosecutors.
“Jackie’s endorsement is extremely meaningful to me and I am so thankful that she supports my campaign for District Attorney,” Hochman said. “She was an exceptional District Attorney who served 34 years with the office, striving every day to pursue justice on behalf of the people of Los Angeles County, where she was born and raised.”
Lacey was targeted by the Black Lives Matter movement. Her husband was charged with a misdemeanor firearms violation when he brought a gun to the door of the family home as he urged Black Lives Matter protesters to leave.
The charges were later dismissed. However, Gascón won the 2020 election, thanks to millions of dollars in spending by Soros and a rush of endorsements by California Democrats — including a reversal by then-L.A. Mayor Eric Garcetti, who had originally endorsed Lacey but then reversed himself once the Black Lives Matter riots, and the Soros millions, appeared to change his mind.
Gascón has faced two recall attempts, the last of which fell just short after county workers claimed to have found invalid signatures on the recall petition. He is blamed for a crime wave, as he has prioritized criminal justice “reform.”

Frat Boy Summer is this year’s backlash against an epidemic of arrogant, entitled women
By Miranda Devine Published May 5, 2024, 10:19 p.m. ET
(I'm on the "frat boys" side.)
Behold the “frat boys” unapologetically saving Old Glory, singing the national anthem, chanting “USA, USA, USA,” and rudely ridiculing the campus freaks who parade around in Hamas colors and barricade themselves in university buildings.
God forbid! They look like Trump voters.
This display of irrepressible masculinity erupting in Gen Z is an affront to the grand societal feminization project of the left, which has only itself to blame.
Frat Boy Summer is this year’s backlash against an epidemic of arrogant, entitled women who have been coddled all their lives and think they’re smarter and more important than they really are.
It is a manifestation of the growing political divide between men and women that has been evident in opinion polls for some time. There is a 10-point gap on most issues between men and women.
Young unmarried women, in particular, skew very left, while young men are becoming markedly more conservative.
Growing gap
The latest ABC-Ipsos poll over the weekend showed Donald Trump winning the under-30s by five points over Joe Biden, 48% to 43%. That was entirely down to Trump’s huge advantage with young men, 54% to 43%.
Young women favored Biden by three points, 44% to 41%, still a rather anemic vote of confidence considering all the “Handmaid’s Tale”-style propaganda being thrown at them about abortion and Trump’s beastly ways.
It’s a nightmare scenario for Biden, who has been counting on the youth vote to win him the election like it did in 2020. Hence his desperate pandering to Gen Z.
The president is splashing around billions of taxpayer dollars on student debt relief, relaxing cannabis legislation, championing “trans kids” as the greatest heroes of their generation and inviting gender-fluid young TikTok influencers to VIP events at the White House. This is not your granddad’s Joe Biden.
But none of it can close the growing ideological gulf between the sexes, which has its roots in the unjust treatment of boys and young men in recent decades.
The college gender gap was a crisis when men outnumbered women up until the 1980s, but now that there are three women for every two men in college, we must rejoice. You go, girl!
Now there are 1 million fewer men in college than in 2011, according to Pew Research, with one-quarter of male Ivy Leaguers identifying as LGBT. It’s sexual reparations in which nobody had a say.
There is a cohort of women who are giving the fairer sex a bad name. These toxic femmes gobbled up the unjust privileges of affirmative action and the punitive fakery that the #MeToo movement became and then found they were more miserable than ever.
So they doubled down, offloading blame onto the patriarchy or toxic masculinity or whatever excuse they could find to avoid looking in the mirror.
During the pandemic, they were given the name “Karen” as they marched around in masks enforcing petty rules or flew into aggressive rages during minor parking lot encounters.
When accountability occasionally finds them, they are flabbergasted beyond belief, while the rest of the world quietly revels in their comeuppance.
Karine Jean-Pierre is the avatar of the entitled female.
The White House press secretary is simply horrible at her job. She’s not on top of her material and never provides a coherent answer to reporters’ questions.
But instead of showing a little humility and upping her game, she does interviews boasting about how awesome she is at “the hardest job in the White House … I’m an historic figure and I walk in history every day.”
Women’s colleges
The current campus protests have showcased the narcissism of these delusional damsels on social media for all to see:
• The females at the University of Virginia whining, “It’s raining!” when finally told to pack up their tents.
• The campus radical who held a press conference to demand that Columbia University supply food and water to her comrades who had barricaded themselves inside a building. “This is like basic humanitarian aid,” said Johannah King-Slutzky, a PhD student who sported the latest in terrorist chic, a keffiyeh around her neck.
• The academic at Emory University who screamed, “I am a professor!” when she was arrested for assaulting a cop. “I hit him on the head very lightly to get his attention and they grabbed me, threw me to the ground and arrested me,” Caroline Fohlin whined as she was carted away.
• The activist in California who stood up at a city council meeting and threatened to kill councilors who opposed a Gaza cease-fire resolution: “We’ll see you at your house. We’ll murder you,” she fiercely vowed. Next time we saw Riddhi Patel, she was bawling her eyes out in court after being arrested and charged with threatening state officials.
These are not people anyone can admire. They believe they are entitled to privileges and protections they did not earn and do not deserve.
The losers in the equation have been young men, especially if they are white and heterosexual and wish to remain male with their genitalia intact.
They are the new forgotten people, derided for who they are.
Since they have nothing to lose and nobody has earned their respect, the frat boys will be as rude and obnoxious as they like. If their very intrinsic maleness is offensive, why bother trying to be polite or chivalrous? Instead, they lean into their power in a rather Trumpian way.
Talking like Trump
Whatever else can be said about Donald Trump, he is undeniably, irredeemably masculine. The way he walks, the way he talks, the way he dresses, his lusty appreciation for attractive women, all of it is anachronistic in a world that abhors masculinity, and that probably is half his appeal — to men, and to the women who still love men.
Regardless of Trump, Gallup polls show that the percentage of young men, ages 18 to 29, who identify as Republican has increased 11 points in a decade, from 38% in 2013 to 49% in 2023, with a big jump from 42% after the pandemic.
This is the cohort whose school and college years were affected by COVID-19. Perhaps school-age boys resented the strictures of lockdowns more than girls and rejected the safety obsessions of females in authority.
Whatever the cause, 18- to 29-year-old men are now 30% more conservative than their ultra-liberal female counterparts.
Women ages 18 to 34 became increasingly liberal and Democratic in the past decade, according to polling data reported by the New York Times last week.
Women went from 55% to 60% identifying as Democratic and from 29% to 22% Republican between 2012 and 2023. They went from 32% to 51% liberal and from 29% to 17% conservative.
“You stand no chance, old lady!” one frat boy type told a woman trying to wrestle him for a barricade at a protest at UCLA last week. Nature always finds a way to assert itself, and it isn’t always pretty.

Pro-Hamas Protests Funded by Biden’s Own Political Donors
JOEL B. POLLAK 5 May 2024 3:51
(Tech titan Bill Gates is part of this... and people wonder why I do as much as possible manually.
I don't trust programmers, especially the ones behind arti-FAKE intelligence. I'll do my own thinking, thank you.)
The pro-Palestinian, antisemitic protests on university campuses across the nation are funded by President Joe Biden’s own political donors — which could explain why he hesitates to condemn them and won’t investigate them.
Biden equivocated last month when asked to react to the protests, saying that he condemned the antisemitism but also condemned those “who don’t understand what’s going on with the Palestinians,” which puzzled observers.
Research by NGO Monitor and others into the donors behind the protests has turned up familiar names from the Democratic Party bankroll — including George Soros’ Open Society Foundations and other liberal philanthropies.
Biden’s Department of Justice has notably refused to investigate the civil rights abuses being committed by the “encampments” — against Jews, journalists, and others — and has also refused to consider RICO conspiracy charges.
Biden can’t condemn antisemitism without protecting the perpetrators by condemning whatever it is they claim to be victims of. But regardless — why not go further? Where are the civil rights investigations, the RICO prosecutions? He’s protecting his donors https://t.co/V9P8jSxk6n
