We previously discussed Shellyne Rodríguez , the machete-wielding former Hunter College professor. Rodríguez is back with a large following shown in a video with protesters chanting with her about “slitting the throats of the masters.”We previously discussed a videotape of Rodríguez trashing a pro-life student display in New York. Before attacking the table, she told the students, “You’re not educating s–t […] This is f–king propaganda. What are you going to do, like, anti-trans next? This is bulls–t. This is violent. You’re triggering my students.”
The videotape revealed one other thing. At Hunter College, and at other colleges, it seems that trashing a pro-life student display and abusing pro-life students is not considered a firing offense. Hunter College refused to fire Rodríguez.
The PSC Graduate Center, the labor organization of graduate and professional schools at the City University of New York, supported that decision and said Rodríguez was “justified” in trashing the display, which the organization described as “dangerously false propaganda” and “disinformation.”
Rodríguez later put a machete to the neck of a reporter, threatened to chop him up and then chased a news crew down a street with the machete in hand. Somewhere between the machete to the neck and chasing the reporters down the street, Hunter College finally decided that Rodríguez had to go.
Rodríguez denounced the school for having “capitulated” to “racists, white nationalists, and misogynists.” She explained that her firing was just a continuation of “attacks on women, trans people, black people, Latinx people, migrants, and beyond.”
The Cooper Union, however, refused to sever ties with Rodríguez, 47, and decided that she should continue to teach her students. Later it too fired Rodriguez after continued radical conduct. However, according to the New York Post, Rodriguez attributed her firing to her anti-Israeli comments. She declared:
“Cooper Union has fired me because of a social media post I made about ‘Zionists’… effective immediately. This is fascism. Ya’ll are learning about it in real time. Stay strong, [stay] brave, stay defiant, don’t bite your tongue, and drink plenty of water! Pa-lante!”
Before watching this video, it is important to keep in mind that the faculty members and administrators previously wanted Rodríguez as a colleague.
In a video on X shared by journalist Andy Ngo, Rodríguez leads a group of pro-Palestinian protesters in chanting “Our ancestors … dreamed of us slitting the master’s throat.” The scene shows a clearly unhinged Rodríguez who is not just supported by these protesters but clearly thrilling them with her rage rhetoric.
Rodríguez leads the pro-Palestinian protesters in anti-police chants:
“Our ancestors are horrified to see black people, Latinx people, indigenous people, children of migrants, and Muslims joining the slave patrol NYPD and [inaudible] plantation overseers in the jails and prisons.”
For a person who chased reporters with a machete, it is a curious choice for a speaker against violence. However, Rodríguez is clearly revered by the crowd.
The fact that she pleaded guilty to harassment and menacing charges clearly did not reduce her popularity. To the contrary, for some, it may have increased it.
This was the person that two colleges wanted on their faculties and resisted efforts to fire her, even after trashing a table in an insane diatribe against pro-life advocates. She is the person that the PSC Graduate Center declared was “justified” in her violence against those peaceful advocates.
She is the very face of an age of rage.
Jonathan Turley is the Shapiro Professor of Public Interest Law at George Washington University. He is the author of “The Indispensable Right: Free Speech in an Age of Rage” (Simon & Schuster).
” drink plenty of water” ?
Was Ms Rodriguez put on a 72 hour hold?
* Ms Rodriquez was eaten up by envy for all the things others had and she had not. She must have envied the Jewish princesses and now? She wants revenge against whom or what? The USA of course. It’s envy and revenge. Envy is soul crushing. It is not to be admired.
* slit the throats of the masters. She’s a murderer and so are those who’ve said it. Has she ever committed murder? She’s never been caught is true.
She’s characterized as a mixed media fine artist. Her works can be Google.
One demonstration at a museum involved Rodriquez rolling up lottery tickets like cigarettes and laying them in groups of 5. Her goal was to roll 1000 tickets in 3 days. She got to 700 something. She said they were wishes like magical wishes people think will happen.
She makes flowers out of cigarette butts.
Your children were with Ms Rodriquez.
One would think that leftist politicians would be rushing to censor this woman’s hate speech. Instead her hate speech is not only allowed but encouraged. It can only be expected when they believe that a black person can’t be a racist because they were once slaves. In history over a million white people were enslaved by black Barbary pirates. It must follow that because white people have also been enslaved that white people can’t be racist. Consequently statements such as “Republicans are going to put you all back in chains” spoken by Joe Biden is designed to foster violence by the black community. We should not forget that the riots that destroyed large sections of American cities should continue according to Kamala Harris. They both fan the flames of hate to remain in power. When will black people come to realize that they’re only a pawn in the game.
You presuppose the Marxist has a genuine, albeit if misguided, agenda upon which they stand when prodding their serfdom into action?
It’s much deeper than that. It can’t possibly have a good ending.
Adieu
Jonathan: Your column attacking Black lesbian artist and professor Shellyne Rodriguez has found echoes in this blog–by people like “Anonymous” who calls Rodriguez “Another typical deranged, degenerate, pedophilic Marxist Dunceocrat” (9/24@4:39pm). It seems others on this blog share the views of Anonymous who often lies about people he knows nothing about. But anti-LGBTQ+ views and attacks on transgenders make up much of DJT’s campaign. He falsely claims kids are getting transgender ops in school and he would ban transgenders from participating in women’s sports.
The problem for DJT is that his MAGA crowd is full of hypocrites on the subject of the LGBTQ+ community. Yesterday NBC reported on one such hypocrite–Cory DeAngelis. He is a big DJT supporter and spokesperson for the right-wing “school choice” American Federation for Children–founded by DJT’s former Ed Secretary Betsy DeVos.
DeAngelis has been a frequent guest on Fox News where he attacks school policies that support LGBTQ+ students. In one Fox segment he attacked the LA Unified School District that held a “Week of Action” to honor famous LGBTQ+ people, like former NFL player Carl Nassibs. This year DeAngelis came out with a book which “exposes the hypocritical elites who are content to hold other people’s children captives to poorly run government schools”. DJT praised the book saying it “is a great guide to help Moms and Dads take back control of their children from the RADICAL MARXISTS running our schools”.
Turns out DeAngelis is the HYPOCRITE. NBC’s report indicates he has been suspended from DeVos’s org because he participated in several gay adult films on the site “Gay Hoopla” as “Seth Rose”. Personally, I don’t have a problem with DeAngelis being gay or even wanting to act in gay adult films. My problem is DeAngelis apparently thinks he can hide his gayness by attacking the very community he should be supporting!
@ Dennis:
You indicate that the “MAGA crowd is FULL of hypocrites”.
NOT SO.
Not full Up yet, still have openings … care to join?
I would help pay for a one way ticket to either Gaza City or Khartoum Sudan. These would be a perfect location for someone like her to reside. She could enjoy the company of violent killers and not be triggered by the presence of those evil Americans and Zionists. Having once worked in Khartoum for a short period I would be happy to recommend a restaurant or two assuming they have not been leveled!
I’d be will to buy her a new pager…
Prime example of the sick, leftist gutter trash that infests our public schools, and colleges and universities. Personally, i’m amused when they pretend they are ‘tough’, as my experience with them..which is significant…is 99% of them are total pansies who like to run their mouths, but will run for their lives when challenged by someone who actually is tough. This thing will eventually get what it has coming.

Given the moral, religious, social, political and economic collapse of the United States, it appears Argentina is offering the path that the US Founding Fathers embraced 200+ years ago. Javier Milei delivers a phenomenal speech to the UN. He is a formidable speaker, unlike Obama, Biden, Kamala, et al
Javier Gerardo Milei, President of the Argentine Republic, addresses the General Debate of the 79th Session of the General Assembly of the UN, delivered in Spanish
Translation into English, select quotes:
1) “For those who do not know, I am not a politician, I am an economist, a liberal libertarian economist, who never had the ambition to become a politician, and who was honored with the position of president of the Argentine Republic.”
2) “From this day on, know that the Argentine Republic will abandon the historical neutrality that characterized us and will be at the vanguard of the defense of freedom.”
3) “Argentina will not support any policy that implies the restriction of individual freedoms, of commerce, nor the violation of the natural rights of individuals.”
4) “We are at the end of a cycle. The collectivism and moral posturing of the woke agenda have collided with reality and no longer have credible solutions to offer to the actual problems of the world.”
5) “The 2030 agenda, although well-intentioned in its goals, is nothing more than a supranational government program with a socialist slant.”
6) “If the 2030 agenda failed, as its own promoters acknowledge, the answer should be to ask ourselves if it was not an ill-conceived program to begin with.”
7) “World history shows that the only way to guarantee prosperity is by limiting the power of the monarch, guaranteeing equality before the law, and defending the right to life, liberty, and property of individuals.”
8) “We believe in the defense of life, for all.
We believe in the defense of property, for all.
We believe in freedom of expression, for all.
We believe in freedom of worship, for all.
We believe in freedom of commerce, for all.
And we believe in limited governments, all of them.”
9) “The doctrine of the new Argentina is nothing more nor less than the true essence of the UN: The cooperation of nations in defense of freedom.”
10) “We invite all the nations of the world to join us, not only in dissenting from this pact (‘pact of the future’), but in creating a new agenda for this noble institution: The Agenda of Freedom.”

* He’s espousing a political agenda. China among others have a different idea. Mexico opened the door to China.
BTW that political system is communism.
Sounds good!
Now, let us wait and see if he can put it into action.
Milei is doing something right since the Financial Times has all of their knives out for him. Then again Milei also lambasted the UN for attacking and betraying Israel, so we see he is leading in a direction where the US should.
Meanwhile no one has a clue who is running the United States government. Not even Kamala knows considering she can’t speak to the press, certainly not nearly as eloquently as Milei. Heck, I’d settle for Kamala speaking like Daffy Duck
Argentina’s President Milei calls out UN’s hypocrisy in condemning Israel
https://www.jpost.com/international/article-821598
Argentina’s Javier Milei denounces UN’s ‘socialist’ agenda in speech
Libertarian leader accuses international organisation of restricting members’ freedom in debut address
Milei’s domestic agenda has largely focused on fixing Argentina’s worst economic crisis in two decades, mainly by rolling out a severe austerity package designed to bring down triple-digit inflation. But the libertarian economist, who has denied the existence of human-caused climate change and is a staunch opponent of Argentina’s legalisation of elective abortion, has also pledged to wage a “cultural battle” against Argentina’s left.
He has dissolved Argentina’s women’s and environment ministries and shut down its anti-discrimination institute.
“I’m here to warn you that we are at the end of a cycle,” Milei said at the UN on Tuesday. “The collectivism and moral posturing of the woke agenda have collided with reality.”
https://www.ft.com/content/fb7221d4-dcd5-4528-b106-2f034cf59d35
Note the priorities of the FT: abortion, climate change, criticizing Argentina for “severe austerity package”. If only a US leader launched a “severe austerity package”
Estovir,
What they call “severe austerity package,” the rest of us call common sense.
I think we will get or see severe austerity, when the government finally bankrupts America. I think we are already there, but they are keeping the party going by spending more and more that we and future generations cannot afford.
Invest in chickens, PMs, ammunition and your own personal well being.
Milei is a man of faith and intelligence. He is a Catholic, but his grandfather was a Jew. According to his words at the Chabad in Bal Harbor, Florida, he wishes to convert to Judaism, but he is withholding that desire because he feels it would hinder his leadership as Argentine President. Finding Jewish blood in one’s ancestors is not unusual.
He is a mensch. May he be permitted to live a long and good life.
I’d convert too, but for that little ritual that has to be performed by a “mohel” as a condition of joining.
Though not acceptable to the most orthodox, a hatafat dam brit can be performed instead of circumcision.
North and South Korea are examples already done. South Korea adopted democracy and capitalism.
“. . . Professor Turley, who failed to provide all the necessary *context*.” (Emphasis added)
To a Leftist, “context” means: Scramble to a point where you can excuse the person’s wicked behavior.
Of all the Left’s sins, this one might be the most egregious: Manipulating the meaning of words to satisfy a desire ( to “get Trump,” to seize power, to rationalize barbaric medical practices, to elect an incompetent buffoon.)
This woman is evil!
Does the U. S. really need to have people like her living and obtaining American benefits? Hmmm
What are you suggesting? That she be killed because the USA doesn’t “need” her?! That makes you her.
It’s not a matter of what the USA “needs”. We don’t exist to serve the USA, the USA exists to serve us. Kennedy had it exactly wrong. Don’t ask what you can do for your country, ask what it can do for you, because that’s what it’s for. The USA exists to serve her, among others, and the fact that she’s a vile person doesn’t change that. It’s her country as much as ours.
the Haitian Bridge Alliance have attributed more than 30 “widespread bomb and other threats” against their community as Trump and Vance have continued to spread the racist lie.
Look, according to JT it’s just free speech. trump and JD are free to say whatever sh-t they want. If people die? so what. unless trump or JD do the actual killing, they have a first amendment right to be as racist as they want. Oh wait, trump can kill people if he wants, but JD can’t. The Supreme Court has given trump free rein to commit crimes since he is an ex president.
And the governor of Ohio has attributed them to foreign actors trying to influence US elections.
BTW neither Vance nor Trump called in any bomb threats.
If you “attribute” something to someone other than the person who said it – you are lying.
SOME of what the professor in this article did was just speech. It is not censored or banning.
When we deem it offensive we deal with that with MORE SPEECH – as JT has.
Just as Vane and Trump are free to say what they please.
you are fre to respond as you have above.
Has anything actually been “bombed” ?
Has anyone actually been killed ?
Your remarks are absurd, you are blaming Trump and Vance for foreign election interferance hoax’s as if they were not a hoax.
Trump has actually been shot at.
The only rhetoric that so far has produced acts of violence is that of the left.
* ask Ted kocynsky or Timothy McVeigh
You think Ted Kaczynski was anything other than a nut? Timothy McVeigh was shaped out of seeing the first Gulf war, then further the domestic atrocities unleashed on the Branch Davidians and Weaver family executions. He saw what Clinton was and he saw what America had morphed into at the hands of the uniparty, the military industrial complex ruled by the big bank money in Gods temple.
The SCOTUS decision said absolutely nothing about that current acts of former presidents.
Only the acts of the actual president while in office.
While SCOTUS got it wrong – the courts have no authority over the acts of presidents ommitted while in office until they have been impeached and removed.
It is not up to SCOTUS to decide what actions of a president are immune from prosecution or not. It is up to the house and senate in an impeachment proceeding.
No one is trying Obama for the assassination of US Citizens.
I REALLY wish these traitors would be held accountable for their crimes in this life. Death would not be a penalty for them, solitary for the remainder of their miserable lives with total liquidation of their assets toward the national debt.
* They’re morally bankrupt. They have no idea what that means. None
JB
I don’t think they would have to be removed in the impeachment. The impeachment is the trial by Congress to determine if a President acted outside the law. If he was determined to have done so, then the DOJ (ha) could indict and prosecute with the immunity question already settled. The immunity question only applies to what a President does in his official duties, a President can’t preside over a bribery shakedown organization as part of his official duties….or can he?
No, John Say, that is wrong. Impeachment has no connection with the legal system. They are completely independent processes. Congress has no say on whether criminal charges can be brought against a president. Impeachment is neither necessary nor sufficient for criminal charges to be brought. Any criminal charges that couldn’t be brought before impeachment can’t be brought after either. And any that can be brought after can be brought before too.
Yeah, but I doubt that PETA would really do anything.
Those threats came from overseas..Nice try.
You really need to get some professional help. Do you ever read what you are writing?
Harris Biden opening the border HAS resulted in multiple deaths, deaths through cartels fentanyl, deaths of our citizens at the hands of criminals deposited into our country and deaths of migrants as they journey to get in. Now who is responsible for that, Trump? Vance?
Go to your corner dolt and think on your sins.

NEW PROPAGANDA FROM NPR
“New research points to raccoon dogs in Wuhan market as pandemic trigger.”
– Gabriel Spitzer
In Florida, if someone comes after you with a machete, there is a fair chance they will get shot…and not with whisky in a glass.
Today at 3:09 pm, George said, “I’m not complaining about Turley; I’m critiquing his article’s position and the absence of context.”
Here is today’s sampling of George’s “not complaining about Turley, just his article’s position:
(and ALL of these quotes from Geo are just from TODAY- one day’s worth!)
“Turley’s subsequent overdramatic retelling of her speech was just another example of how he contributes to the “age of rage” rhetoric he whines about.”
“Furthermore, Professor Turley misrepresented her rhetoric, failing to provide the necessary context.”
“…and Turley’s lack of distinction only contributed to the escalating tensions.”
“Turley seems to forget that while it may…”
“Turley is employing the same tactic…”
“Turley is quick to criticize…”
“…further perpetuates the “age of rage” that Turley claims to decry, underscoring the irony of him contributing to the very issue he condemns.”
‘George’ isn’t real
In fairness, he said he wasn’t complaining about Turley. You must have misunderstood him.
No, Pal. ‘Turley’s subsequent overdramatic retelling of her …he whines about.” …”Turley misrepresented” “Turley seems to forget” are attacks against the professor NOT issues or opinions. In fairness, we will assume that the arguments was above your level of reading comprehension and context.
Judge Cannon will be presiding over the case against the leftist A’h0le who tried to assassinate Trump. Hahahaha! This should be good!
You do realize that if she was on the street the police would have had every right to shoot her.
The leader of a nonprofit representing the Haitian community invoked a private-citizen right to file charges Tuesday against former President Donald Trump and his running mate, JD Vance, over the chaos and threats experienced by Springfield, Ohio, since Trump first spread false claims about legal immigrants there during a presidential debate.
I am so glad he wants to send the Haitians to Venezuela where they didn’t come from.
More ridiculous lawfare against the only person likely to keep us out of WWIII, close the birder, lower crime, and bring manufacturing back. But idiots on the left want to gaslight and distract with this kind of garbage. GFY
Oh. Only Trump? It was on the public media.
I want to eat your cat with some fava beans and a fine bottle of chianti.
They would be better off in Venezuela than Haiti
Laughable- it certainly brought attention to Springfield unlike 2 deaths of Americans never did. Brilliant actually.
There is no such thing as a “private-citizen right to file charges”.
What this person has done is make a false complaint to the police, which is itself a crime. He’s also attempting to violate the first amendment, and deprive someone of their civil liberties under color of law, which is also a crime.
* when they tell you who they are believe them. The reporter should have taken out his 38 or 9 alla Indiana Jones…
What is more concerning than the violent fantasies of a clearly dangerous person, is how normalized this has become on the Left. Violence and threats of violence against Jews, Asians, whites, Christians, and Republicans has so long been viewed as fighting the good fight, that two universities wanted Shellyn Rodriguez on their faculty.
It is no wonder that Jews and conservatives fear to tread on many college campuses today.
As long as parents continue to save for years to send their children to formerly prestigious universities that subscribe to this violent rhetoric, then it will continue. Universes don’t care that conservatives complain. They care when people stop paying.
The hateful rhetoric that all whites must be hated because of US slavery is as ludicrous as claiming all Muslims must be hated because they enslaved far more Africans, as well as white Europeans, castrating nearly all the men and boys, than the US ever did. Are we to hate Moroccons for their historical slave markets? .
Slavery was ubiquitous throughout human history. It was Western Civilization that ended it, yet illogically, it’s Western Civilization that is held responsible. Ludicrous.
. . .how normalized this has become on the Left.
Also normalized is for a leftist rap start to shout “F–k America!” at his concerts and the crowd cheers along in the very liberal city of Seattle, WA. Then he sends proceeds to Hamas to continue killing Jews.

Contrary to Media Myth, U.S. Urban Crime Rates Are Up
America’s recent crime spike has been concentrated in urban areas. These are the areas in which leftist prosecutors have gained the strongest footholds, where police have been the most heavily scrutinized, and where lax enforcement and prosecution have become common.
According to the NCVS, the urban violent-crime rate increased 40% from 2019 to 2023. Excluding simple assault, the urban violent-crime rate rose 54% over that span. From 2022 to 2023, the urban violent-crime rate didn’t change to a statistically significant degree, so these higher crime rates appear to be the new norm in America’s cities. The urban property-crime rate is also getting worse. It rose from 176.1 victimizations per 1,000 households in 2022 to 192.3 in 2023. That’s part of a 26% increase in the urban property-crime rate since 2019. These numbers exclude rampant shoplifting, since the NCVS is a survey of households and not of businesses.
