I saw her coming. In Mark Gall’s garage. The year was 2000. The Supreme Court ruled Al Gore lost the election. I could see Greg (don’t know last name) was gleeful the Liberal Left had lost a BIG ONE to the Christian Nationalists that were just merging, rearing their ugly heads, like the head that sits on the shoulders of Marjorie Taylor Greene, that is parroting the Nazi-like sermons of Killer Kirill, who said the Ukriane had to be invaded in order to destroy the Homosexuals that are infecting Mother Russia. Kirill is at the top of the Passive-Aggressive Christian Wave of Total Violence, employing Jesus holding a little lamb, Greg was a Mr. Peepers type. So is Mark Gall. They had a very psychotic Christian friend whose son lived in Jon Gall’s old treehouse that I employ in my James Bond-like novel ‘The Royal Janitor. Her son was a full-blown dangerous psycho that threatened physical harm to people. But, Mark tolerated this guy becuse he had long conversation with his mother, who pumped up Gall’s passive-agressive ego, in telling him of the roll the Jews will play in the coming Tribulation. She was a Bible Freak. I doubt Mr. Gall ever opened a Bible. Victoria Rosemond Bond’s bodyguard is modeled on this woman, whose name escapes me. Starfish is a top Biblical Scholar born of Hippie Parents. She struggles with their peaceful nature, for she has killed thirty-six men. Tom Cotton is a Killer Psycho Christian. He may be a Jew. He lobbies for Israel.

GOP senator bashes Marjorie Taylor Greene: ‘She is dragging our brand down’© Provided by NBC News
Sen. Thom Tillis, R-N.C., went after Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene, R-Ga., Tuesday, saying that Greene was a threat to the Republican Party and was “dragging our brand down.”
“I think she’s uninformed. She is a total waste of time,” Tillis said in a recording reported by CNN and aired Tuesday evening.
“She is a horrible leader. She is dragging our brand down. She — not the Democrats — are the biggest risk to us getting back to a majority,” the senator added.
Tillis’ comments come after Greene has criticized the House’s move to pass a long-stalled foreign aid bill. The $95 billion bill, which was passed by the Senate on Tuesday and signed by President Joe Biden on Wednesday, includes aid to Ukraine, Israel and Taiwan as well as provisions that could bring about a national ban on the popular video-sharing app TikTok.
Greene has adamantly opposed further aid to Ukraine, calling House Speaker Mike Johnson, R-La., a “traitor to our country” after the chamber passed the bill and introducing a motion to oust him as speaker for his role in advancing the funding.
“Mike Johnson betrayed America once again,” Greene wrote in a post on X following the House’s passage of the aid on Saturday.
“House Republicans and the American people would be stronger without his disloyalty and betrayal of his principles,” Greene continued. “We need a new Speaker of the House!”
Greene had also criticized her GOP colleagues, writing on X, “Here are the 139 Republicans who just voted against my amendment to strip every penny of your tax dollars from Mike Johnson’s $61 BILLION Ukraine war spending bill.”
Johnson on Saturday said, “I’ve done here what I believe to be the right thing, and that is to allow the House to work its will. And as I’ve said, you do the right thing, and you let the chips fall where they may, and I’ll continue to do that.”

Tom Cotton wants to get tough on anti-Israeli protesters: ‘Painful to have their skin ripped off’
Sen. Tom Cotton voiced outrage over the spate of anti-Israel protests causing mayhem across the nation and said it’s time for Americans to take matters into their own hands.
Cotton (R-Ark.) appeared on Fox News Monday and railed the hundreds of demonstrators who clogged up traffic in San Francisco during a blockade of the Golden Gate Bridge in protest against the Israel-Ha
“If something like this happened in Arkansas on a bridge there, let’s just say I think there’d be a lot of very wet criminals that have been tossed overboard,” Cotton said.
“If they glued their hands to the car or the pavement, well, it’d be probably pretty painful to have their skin ripped off,” he went on. “I would encourage most people, anywhere that gets stuck behind criminals like this, who are trying to block traffic to take matters into their own hands.”

“I sympathize with law enforcement having to deal with this but I think it’s time for private citizens who are the ones being inconvenienced here — when they’re confronted with these protesters — just to solve matters on their own,” Cotton explained.
Harvard Suspends Palestine Solidarity Committee Amid Wave of Protests on College Campuses

Harvard College suspended the Harvard Undergraduate Palestine Solidarity Committee and ordered the group to “cease all organizational activities for the remainder of the Spring 2024 term” or risk permanent expulsion, according to an email obtained by The Crimson.
The suspension comes amid a wave of pro-Palestine student demonstrations across the country, with students staging occupations at universities including Columbia and Yale Universities. Though there have not been occupations at Harvard this semester, the University restricted access to Harvard Yard on Sunday in anticipation of student protests.
The PSC was one of several student organizations, including some unrecognized student organizations, to stage a rally in Harvard Yard on Friday in solidarity with student activists at Columbia, more than 100 of whom were arrested on Thursday by the New York City Police Department.
During the rally, attendees marched and chanted outside the offices of administrators in the Yard, concluding on the steps of Widener Library.
The group also found itself at the center of controversy in the immediate aftermath of Hamas’ Oct. 7 attack on Israel, when the PSC published a statement co-signed by more than 30 other student groups that stated it held “the Israeli regime entirely responsible for all unfolding violence” from Hamas’ attack.
In an email to the PSC, the College specifically cited Friday’s protest when informing the group of its suspension for the remainder of the spring semester, noting that the group had failed to register the demonstration and violated protest guidelines regarding responsible use of space.
The group had previously been placed on probation by the College in March, according to the email.
“The organization will not be recognized and will not have access to university benefits and services during this time, including but not limited to use of campus space and appropriate use of the Harvard name,” the email stated. “If the organization continues to operate and commits additional violations during this suspension, the organization risks permanent expulsion, as provided in the Resource Guide.”

Editor’s Note: This page is a summary of news on student protests of the Israel-Hamas war for Tuesday, April 23. For the latest news see our live updates file for Wednesday, April 24.
NEW YORK − Protests loomed and negotiations inched forward Tuesday at NYU, Columbia and elsewhere as colleges across the nation grappled with unrest after days of demonstrations, campus closures and arrests swirling around U.S. support for Israel in its war on Hamas.
The protests fueled a national debate over free speech and student demonstrations amid growing unrest over the fate of Palestinians in Gaza and concerns for the safety of Jewish students at home. Dozens of protesters were arrested Monday at pro-Palestinian demonstrations at Yale University in Connecticut and New York University in Manhattan.
Hundreds of students at Stanford University in Northern California held a walkout. At the University of California, Berkeley, students erected a Free Palestine Encampment. New York’s Columbia University, the epicenter of the demonstrations, announced classes will provide a virtual learning option − where technology permits − until spring semester ends May 10.
“Safety is our highest priority as we strive to support our students’ learning and all the required academic operations,” the university said in a statement.
The protests stem from the clash between Hamas and Israel, ignited by the militant group’s assault on Israeli communities Oct. 7 that killed almost 1,200 people. Israel’s subsequent bombardment and invasion of Gaza has killed tens of thousands of Palestinians − militants and civilians; men, women and children − and fueled a dire humanitarian crisis.
Columbia cancels in-person classes:Protesters arrested at Yale and NYU
Developments:
∎ Student protesters inside the Columbia encampment barred the media from entering the space Tuesday. University administrators told USA TODAY it was up to students whether to allow in reporters, who spoke with student activists just outside the encampment.
∎ Hours after dozens of protesters were arrested Monday at Yale, Jews for Ceasefire held a “Seder in the Streets.” Seder is a ritual dinner marking the start of Passover. The Yale encampment, set up last week, drew several hundred people calling on the university to drop investments to military weapons manufacturers.

∎ At the University of Michigan in Ann Arbor, about 25 tents housed students calling for the university to divest from Israeli investments. Palestinian flags waved around the square, with banners and signs bearing messages in support of Palestinians. Two large banners read: “Encampment For Gaza! Divest Now!” and “Long Live The Intifada (uprising).”
Columbia president: ‘It is essential’ that encampment be dismantled
Columbia University President Minouche Shafik said Tuesday night that the actions taken by the university are justified.
“I fully support the importance of free speech, respect the right to demonstrate, and recognize that many of the protestors have gathered peacefully,” Shafik said in an email obtained by USA TODAY that was sent to students and faculty. “However, the encampment raises serious safety concerns, disrupts campus life, and has created a tense and at times hostile environment for many members of our community. It is essential that we move forward with a plan to dismantle it.”
She said a small group of university leaders have been speaking with student organizers “to discuss the basis for dismantling the encampment.” Those talks are facing a deadline of midnight tonight to reach agreement, Shafik said.
Shafik added, “I very much hope these discussions are successful. If they are not, we will have to consider alternative options for clearing the west lawn and restoring calm to campus so that students can complete the term and graduate.”
But a group called Columbia Students for Justice in Palestine released a statement late Tuesday and said that they refused to negotiate with university officials.
“Late tonight, Columbia University threatened (Columbia University Apartheid Divest) negotiators to call both the National Guard and NYPD if we do not acquiesce to their demands,” the statement read, adding: “We remain steadfast in our convictions and will not be intimidated by the University’s disturbing threat of an escalation of violence.”
Last week, Shafik trekked to Washington for a congressional hearing about antisemitism on Columbia’s campus. She faced a salvo of tough questions from lawmakers expressing dismay about reports that Jewish students have felt unsafe since Hamas’ Oct. 7 attack.
A similar hearing in December featuring the presidents of Harvard University and the University of Pennsylvania resulted in controversial clashes that ultimately cost them their jobs.
While Shafik was in Washington, students set up camps on lawns at the center of campus, demanding the university sever all its ties to Israel. The following morning, Shafik called in the New York City Police Department to clear out the demonstrators. Officers arrested more than 100 people. The rallies continued and Shafik essentially closed the campus Monday, ordering classes to be held remotely.

Jewish and Palestinian students address arrests, fear for safety
Several students who had been arrested by New York City police gathered outside the Columbia president’s residence a couple of blocks from the main campus on Tuesday afternoon. Police stood to the side as students took turns reading prepared remarks and responding to reporters’ questions.
Many of the arrested students are Jewish, and three Barnard students refuted the idea they were any less Jewish for protesting against Israel. “We have continually had to defend our religious identities, even when there’s a long tradition behind them,” said student Sarah Borus, who also said she lost her housing after being arrested.
Marianne Hirsch, an English professor at Columbia who is also Jewish and teaches Holocaust studies, said the arrests of students and constant police presence “creates an atmosphere of fear and intimidation.”
“This is not what the university is about,” she said. “This amplifies divisions among students, amongst Jewish students.”
Mahmoud Khalil, a Palestinian graduate student who is negotiating with Columbia on behalf of student organizers, said he had rarely spoken out before because he is on an F-1 student visa and feared deportation if he was arrested. But he said Palestinian and Arab students had also felt unsafe, in addition to fearing for their families back home.
“Columbia has not acknowledged this pain,” he said.
Students pledge to camp until Columbia cuts ties with Israel
Outside the Columbia encampment, students held a press conference to reiterate their demand that the university cut ties with Israel. Students entered and exited the space as classes continued Tuesday, now also available remotely.
“We have made it clear that we will be occupying this lawn until all of our demands are met,” Khymani James, a Columbia student and an encampment organizer, told reporters. He said the encampment has a lead negotiator with the university but declined to elaborate.
The demands include complete divestment from Israel, including a student-exchange program and Columbia’s campus in Tel Aviv, as well as financial transparency for the school’s investments. The students also demand amnesty for the students and faculty disciplined or arrested from the demonstrations, including more than 100 detained Thursday.
Freshman Sebastian Verrelli said he was disappointed by the school’s actions against the students, but to him the demonstrations highlight the role of academic institutions to challenge people’s beliefs. “This campus community has incredible strength and a willingness to engage in dialogue,” he said. “It’s a reason why I chose to be here.”
Biden to speak at Morehouse commencement, risking backlash as campus protests over Gaza grow
In Berkeley, a growing but peaceful encampment
The number of tents grew overnight from 12 to 50 at the Free Palestine encampment at the University of California in Berkeley, according to Malak Afaneh, co-president of the Law Students for Justice in Palestine.
The site was bustling but peaceful Tuesday, as volunteers dropped off food and a group of preschoolers from Oakland and their teachers ate lunch and toured around the tents. Several speakers addressed a small crowd during the afternoon.
Afaneh said student protesters will remain onsite as they’re demanding the university call for an end to the war in Gaza and divests from defense contractors profiting from the conflict, including Boeing, BlackRock and Lockheed Martin. Protesters also want the university to sever ties with Israeli academic institutions and create policies to protect Palestinian students as well as create a Palestinian studies program.
“I am 100% fully confident that all of our goals for divestment will be achieved,” Afaneh said. “We’re going to be here come rain, sunshine, suspensions, expulsions, all of it.”
UC Berkeley spokesperson Dan Mogulof said the school is keeping open communication with protest organizers, adding that Cal’s top objective is “to ensure that students who want to attend classes and pursue their education can do so without interference and disruption.”

Dozens arrested near Senate Majority Leader Chuck Schumer’s home
Hundreds of people with the activist group Jewish Voice for Peace held a protest Tuesday evening at Grand Army Plaza in Brooklyn, just down the street from the home of U.S. Senate Majority Leader Charles E. Schumer, D-N.Y. Along with ongoing student demonstrations across universities in New York City, Jewish Voice for Peace’s rally protested against the impending congressional bill to fund billions of aid to Israel.
The group held a symbolic Seder meal on the second day of the Passover holiday. People sat around a large illustration of ritual food for the meal. In addition to Jewish staples for the plate, the illustration added added items of olives and strawberries, symbolizing food representative of Palestine.
By nightfall, the group blocked traffic around Grand Army Plaza, bringing cars and buses to a standstill as police responded. The group has led prior actions at Grand Central Terminal and elsewhere in New York City that have resulted in hundreds of prior arrests.
In the roadway near Grand Army Plaza, police began pulling dozens of people, young and old, off the roadway, handcuffing them with zip ties, and loading them on at least six buses that lined down the street. Organizers said the act was meant to send a message from Jewish Americans who feel their identity is being used to justify funding to Israel’s war by American politicians.
“Our actions have to build,” Stefanie Fox, the executive director of Jewish Voice for Peace, told USA TODAY as police cleared people from the street. “We have an obligation.”
The Labyrinth of The Psychodramatic Garden Queen

The Royal Janitor
The Labyrinth of The Psychodramatic Garden Queen
Now that American Gays were fleeing to Oregon to escape a new religious fanaticism that was threatening NATO, European Spy and Think, Tanks, were eager to invest in BAD, because it was assessed they had in their employ, a Religious Wizard that knew all there is to know about the world’s major religions. Unfortunately, Starfish had chosen to spend Our Darkest Hour, exploring the cosmic turns and twists of being a Retro-Hippie, and organized religion was the farthest thing from her mind.
“Humor her! Have you tried – humoring her!”
“God-damn it! I tried that the minute we met. She interrupted our interview and showed me how he hair has been psychically trained to cover her bare breasts. She way beyond the not wearing a bra stage. You get your ass to Eugene, and fucking humor her and see what she has in store – FOR YOU! She’s a fucking psycho – if you must know! But – I love her – to death!”
Putting her phone on the coffee table, Victoria walked over to the large picture window overlooking their three acres bordered by a pine tree park they could take walks in. There below was the love of her life setting up the Labyrinth Walk – with Psychodrama – with her inept friends from The Life-journey Psilocybin Therapy Program the Governor signed off on. There was going to be loud screams with raging tears and impossible accusations made against the caustic and toxic universe which was somehow ultimately responsible for the THE DEEP DEPRESSION the Walkers felt. In Miriam Starfish’s case, it was the death of her parents in a horrific butane explosion she witness at the age of thirteen. Thank God they had distant neighbors. Starfish bellowed like a Big Foot when her tears began to flow. Let the fun&games begin!
As the new-age music wafted up to the house, Victoria got comfy in the big leather easy chair and looked up at the 122 inch T.V. that now dominated their lives. Her wife was also a Oregon Duck Football fan, along with a follower of the Ems. She married a Frat – and a Biblical Scholar – who idolized Ken Babbs! Why? Why the fucking – why? The New Eugene Hill Lovers made an agreement to place a camera near the Maze so Victoria could – just watch.
“”I like to watch!”
She knew if she got near, she would get sucked in, like Dorothy.
As the first round of quiet sobbing began as the Human Captives of a Tyrannical Fate made their way one by one to the center of Labyrinth – high on shrooms – Victoria opened the drawer of the coffee table, and brought out a handful of large rubber-tipped darts. Standing up, she took aim a Babbs bulbous grin, and let one fly!
“This is all your fucking fault – even though you deny it! Take this – you pretentious old fraud that can’t write worth shit.”
Starfish demanded a ten foot tall mural be placed in the large stairwell of their new house Starfish wanted, instead ot the humble abode her husband suggested due to her modest income and savings. At the bank, Victorian discovered her woman – was a financial wizard, too, and they were – LOADED! And there go another dart that struck Ken high on the brow, just as the other dart lost its grip, as planned, and fell onto the soft carpeting below.
“Why would you ever think anyone would want to to read a fucking book about a fucking dead buffalo. Take this!”
Victoria’s heart was pounding as she gave Babbs the literary critique he longed for, but no one dare deliver for fear Ken controlled a World-wide Hippie Mafia – Big Hit Squad! Adrenalin poured into Bond;s veins by the cup full. If her woman walked in, suddenly, to use the bathroom, she would be dead! Like most cult followers, Starfish was head over heals in love with Babb’s big glowing – goofy look – that rendered him harmless to the poor souls who long to be addicted to someone.
“If Starfish doesn’t come out of the fucking trance you put her in – you big Hippie Gorilla – than the world is toast. Take this!”
Suddenly, Bond heard a peeping sound. Turning, there stood Little Sally Snowflake, the second most sensitive star of the Garden Psycho crew. Bond glanced at the three darts grouped around Ken’s nose. Grabbing a real gun out of the other drawer, Victoria pointed it at Sensitive Sally, and growled
“If you open your mouth – you’re dead! Do you got me!”
Sally let go the contents of her bladder. Whimpering some more, she ran for the door, got in her card -and sped home! She fell out of grace at all her groups. Her new therapist let her go.
“I never encountered such a – closed patient! She swore she was cured of her depression!”
Sally made the symbol of zipping her mouth closed at the twelve groups she belonged to. Other participants – demanded she share! Sally had some cards made up, and handed them to fellow members.
“Silence is golden!”
Victoria helped her see the light. What is there to share, but that we were all born. As we get older we dare share the truth with people we love – that we are going to die! Some friends want you to go to their Church, and accept the truth we are not going to die, but, will live forever! Sally came to the realization as she looked down the barrel of a gun, that she was going to die, and, that is that! Sally got a huge shove on her path to Nirvana, and was profusely grateful to Starfish’s Psychodramatic Life-journey Psilocybin Therapy Trip – the Governor signed off on!
