"Harvard is an a–hole factory in a lot of ways that produces smirking f–k faces” ...Bill Maher

 

When it comes to Harvard University, “Real Time” host Bill Maher and President Donald Trump are on the same page.

On the latest episode of his HBO talk show, Maher announced he backs the president’s push to penalize the elite Ivy League institution by freezing billions in federal grants, charging the school has failed to crack down on antisemitism on campus.

“Trump has declared full-scale war on Harvard, and like so many things he does, there’s a kernel of a good idea there,” Maher said during Friday’s broadcast, before bragging, “I’ve been sh–ing on Harvard long before he was.”

Maher is himself an Ivy League graduate, having earned his degree from Harvard rival Cornell University in Ithaca.

Guest and CNN host Jake Tapper referenced Maher’s alma mater, but he said his Harvard bashing had nothing to do with the longstanding enmity.

“It’s because Harvard is an a–hole factory in a lot of ways that produces smirking f–k faces,” Maher said bluntly.

It is unclear if Maher was aware his other guest, Congressman Seth Moulton (D-Massachusetts), attended Harvard.

“He has three degrees from Harvard,” Tapper pointed out. “He’s a f–k face times three.”

The liberal comic has changed his tune on the president.

Once a vocal critic, Maher had dinner with Trump at the White House alongside UFC owner Dana White and Kid Rock.

After the meal, Maher acknowledged Trump was a “different” person than the one portrayed by liberal media outlets.

“The guy I met is not the person who, the night before, s–t-tweeted a bunch of nasty crap about how he thought this dinner was a bad idea, and what a deranged a–hole I was,” said Maher.

Trump has threatened to revoke Harvard’s tax-exempt status and tried limiting the number of foreign-born students admitted to the school.

A federal judge blocked a move Thursday by Trump’s administration to revoke the visas of international students at Harvard.

Trump said he wants to see more American students accepted into Harvard.

Fat Nadler’s aide detained by DHS agents in Manhattan office

Longtime Democratic Rep. Jerrold Nadler slammed President Trump for “sowing chaos” nationwide after federal agents handcuffed one of his aides inside his lower Manhattan office.

The lawmaker’s verbal tirade came after Department of Homeland Security officers entered the Big Apple office Wednesday and accused his staff of “harboring rioters” in a dramatic confrontation caught on video. 

“President Trump and the Department of Homeland Security are sowing chaos in our communities, using intimidating tactics against both citizens and non-citizens in a reckless and dangerous manner,” he said in a statement to Politico.

“If this can happen in a Member of Congress’s office, it can happen to anyone — and it is happening.”

The video, obtained by Gothamist, showed one agent aggressively restraining a teary-eyed female staffer, while another employee asked for a warrant and blocked a second officer from entering a private section of the congressional office, located in the same Varick Street building as federal immigration court.

“I’m a federal officer, we’re here checking on something,” the male agent said to the employee standing in his way, the footage showed. 

“We have the right to check. You are harboring rioters in the office,” he argued in the heated back-and-forth that ended with the staffer granting him access to the back office.

Nadler said that the “deeply troubling” incident showed a clear violation of legal protocols. 

Federal Protective Service officers went to the congressman’s office to conduct a security check after receiving reports that protesters were hiding inside, DHS told The Post in a statement.

“Based on earlier incidents in a nearby facility, FPS officers were concerned about the safety of the federal employees in the office and went to the location to ensure the safety and wellbeing of those present,” Homeland Security officials said.

When they arrived, one individual – the woman who was briefly detained – was “verbally confrontational and physically blocked access to the office” after the officers identified themselves and explained why there were there.

“The officers then detained the individual in the hallway for the purpose of completing the security check,” DHS said.

The aide was released after the fiery standoff — which reportedly erupted when a Nadler staffer invited two advocates monitoring ICE activity at the courthouse into the office. 

Nadler charged that the Trump administration is embracing totalitarian and authoritarian tactics.

“The Trump administration is trying to intimidate members of Congress,” Nadler told the New York Times Saturday.

“They’re behaving like fascists. We have to fight them. We don’t want to be a fascist country.”

The White House did not immediately respond to The Post’s request for comment.

Bike Lanes in Williamsburg Causing Massive Injuries to Jewish Children

 

An incident in South Williamsburg earlier this week has ignited a firestorm of concern within New York City’s Orthodox Jewish communities – and has become a major talking point in a New York City Council race. On Sunday evening, a 3-year-old Chasidic girl was struck by an e-bike while crossing the protected bike lane on Bedford Avenue, sustaining minor injuries. The event, captured on video and widely circulated on social media, has intensified condemnation of the city’s bike lane policies.

The child had just exited a double-parked car near Park Avenue when she darted into the bike lane and was hit by a 22-year-old cyclist, who remained at the scene. She was treated at Bellevue Hospital for minor abdominal injuries. The incident is one among over 50 bike-related injuries reported on Bedford Avenue since 2024, according to public records.

Community leaders and residents have long voiced concerns about the safety of bike lanes in areas like Williamsburg and Crown Heights.

The controversy has become a focal point in the upcoming City Council Democratic primary. Challenger Sabrina Gates criticized incumbent Lincoln Restler for supporting the bike lane, saying, “Bedford Avenue was dangerous even before the bike lane. Lincoln Restler has been on the wrong side of this issue. It’s time to move the bike lane before another child is hurt.” Restler defended his position, citing the need for protected bike lanes to ensure safety for all road users, while also acknowledging the need for safety enhancements.

Mayor Eric Adams has also weighed in, saying, “When the people speak, we listen — with or without their councilman’s support.” The city is now considering modifications to existing bike lanes and evaluating plans for new ones in other Orthodox neighborhoods, including Flatbush and Crown Heights, where proposals have met significant opposition due to concerns over parking loss and pedestrian safety.

Syria’s New President Signals Openness to Israel Dialogue, Says They Face “Common Enemies”

 Syria’s new president, Ahmad al-Sharaa, formerly known as Abu Mohammed al-Jolani, has expressed a willingness to engage in dialogue with Israel, while urging an immediate halt to Israeli airstrikes in Syrian territory. In a rare interview published Wednesday by the Jewish Journal, al-Sharaa struck a markedly different tone from his predecessors, suggesting the two nations share common enemies and hinting at the potential for future cooperation.

“The era of endless tit-for-tat bombings must end,” al-Sharaa said. “No nation prospers when its skies are filled with fear.”

While stopping short of endorsing normalization with Israel, al-Sharaa acknowledged the possibility of regional alignment. “We have common enemies — and we can play a major role in regional security,” he said, responding to questions about future relations.

His comments come amid renewed Israeli airstrikes in Syria over the weekend, part of a long-running campaign to prevent Iranian entrenchment near Israel’s northern border. Al-Sharaa called for a return to the spirit of the 1974 Disengagement Agreement between Israel and Syria, framing it not just as a ceasefire line but as a mechanism for “mutual restraint and protection of civilians,” particularly the Druze communities in southern Syria and the Golan Heights.

“Syria’s Druze are not pawns,” he said. “They are citizens — deeply rooted, historically loyal, and deserving of every protection under the law. Their safety is non-negotiable.”

The new Syrian leader also praised U.S. President Donald Trump, whom he met earlier this month at a summit in the Gulf. Calling Trump “a man of peace,” al-Sharaa said the two leaders had faced similar enemies and could find common ground.

“Trump understands leverage, strength, and outcomes,” he said. “If there is a possibility of alignment that helps bring stability to the region — and security to the U.S. and its allies — I am ready to have that conversation.”

Al-Sharaa echoed Trump’s campaign slogan, stating his own desire to “make Syria great again.” He described his vision for Syria as pluralistic and inclusive, pledging support for the return of all Syrians — including Jews, Druze, and Christians — whose properties were confiscated by the former regime.

“I did not seek this position to rule,” he said. “I accepted it because Syria must turn the page.”

Asked whether the public can trust a government emerging from years of civil war and authoritarian rule, al-Sharaa responded, “I don’t ask for trust. I ask for patience — and for scrutiny. Hold me accountable. Hold this process accountable.”

The interview comes amid reports of quiet, indirect contact between Israel and Syria aimed at reducing tensions along their shared border. However, officials in Israel and the West remain wary. Many caution that al-Sharaa, once linked to al-Qaeda and the Islamic State, may be using moderate rhetoric to consolidate power before potentially returning Syria to a confrontational stance.

Right Plans Mass Protest at Supreme Court, Accuses Judiciary of Sabotaging Elected Government

 The right is returning to the streets under the banner “They won’t invalidate the people’s choice,” with plans to stage a mass protest outside the Supreme Court in Jerusalem. The demonstration is aimed at opposing what organizers describe as judicial interference in the functioning of the right-wing government — including delays in appointing a new head of the Shin Bet, intervention in the conduct of the war, and obstruction of efforts to advance Jewish settlement in Judea and Samaria.

The rally will take place on Thursday, 9 Sivan (5.6) at 7:00 PM in front of the Supreme Court in Jerusalem.

Several right-wing organizations, led by families of hostages and bereaved relatives of fallen soldiers, are planning a mass demonstration outside the Supreme Court in Jerusalem next week. The protest will deliver a pointed message to the judiciary: “The people are sovereign — you have no authority to sabotage our victory or the right-wing government.”

The organizers are supported by several right-wing organizations, led by the Tekuma movement, which led the huge right-wing demonstrations demanding the judicial reform promoted by Justice Minister Yariv Levin. Tekuma held a series of huge demonstrations in Jerusalem and Tel Aviv with the participation of hundreds of thousands of participants.

Be’rale Crombie, chairman of the Tekuma movement and one of the giant rally’s organizers, said the demonstration is a response to what he described as systemic obstruction by the judiciary and bureaucratic establishment. “The legal system and legal activism, along with Israel’s entrenched bureaucracy, are preventing decision-makers from acting,” he said. “They are blocking the right-wing government and limiting its ability to implement policy. They undermine the war effort, delay settlement in Judea and Samaria, and obstruct the development of strategic farms and the founding of new communities.”

“And worst of all – Gali Baharav Miara and Judge Yitzhak Amit are working to harm the prime minister, there is a deliberate attempt here to declare the prime minister incapacitated. The answer to this must be unequivocal: the people are the sovereign! The people have the power to choose their representatives. They are the ones who should lead – not unelected officials. Our demand is clear: to remove the intervention of the High Court of Justice and the legal system in the conduct of the war and the promotion of settlement in Judea, Samaria, the Negev, and the Galilee,” explains Crombie.

Israel Fears Betrayal as Trump Inches Toward “Dangerous” Iran Deal

 Seven weeks into nuclear negotiations between the United States and Iran, Israel is voicing escalating concerns that President Donald Trump’s administration may accept a deal that fails to eliminate Tehran’s uranium enrichment capabilities, potentially leaving Israel vulnerable to a nuclear-armed adversary. Simultaneously, Saudi Arabia has privately urged Iran to engage seriously with the U.S. proposal, warning that failure to do so could risk a military confrontation with Israel.

Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu has publicly cautioned that a “bad deal is worse than no deal,” emphasizing that any agreement permitting Iran to retain enrichment capabilities would be unacceptable. Despite Netanyahu’s warnings, President Trump disclosed on Wednesday that he had advised Netanyahu against taking any actions, such as a military strike, that could disrupt the ongoing talks. “I told him this would be very inappropriate to do right now, because we’re very close to a solution,” Trump said during a White House press conference.

The negotiations, which commenced on April 12, have included five rounds of discussions between U.S. Special Envoy Steve Witkoff and Iranian Foreign Minister Abbas Araghchi. The primary sticking point remains the U.S. demand that Iran cease all uranium enrichment activities—a condition Iran has consistently rejected, citing its right to peaceful nuclear energy.

Amid these tensions, Saudi Arabia has taken an unprecedented diplomatic step. In April, Saudi Defense Minister Prince Khalid bin Salman visited Tehran, delivering a message to Iranian officials that emphasized the urgency of reaching an agreement with the U.S. to avoid the risk of an Israeli military strike. This visit marked the first by a senior Saudi royal to Iran in over two decades and reflects a significant shift in regional diplomacy following the 2023 normalization of ties between the two nations.

During the closed-door meeting, Prince Khalid conveyed that President Trump’s patience for prolonged negotiations is limited and that the window for diplomacy is narrowing. He stressed that the region, already destabilized by conflicts in Gaza and Lebanon, could not withstand further escalation. Iranian President Masoud Pezeshkian responded by expressing Iran’s desire for a deal that would alleviate economic sanctions but maintained that Iran would not relinquish its enrichment program solely to accommodate U.S. demands.

Israel, meanwhile, has prepared for potential military action against Iran’s nuclear facilities but has held off at the request of the Trump administration to allow diplomatic efforts to proceed. Israeli officials have indicated that any military strike would be more effective with U.S. support, particularly in countering potential Iranian retaliation. However, there is growing concern within Israel that delaying action could result in a missed opportunity to address the nuclear threat more decisively.

Greta Thunberg to sail to Gaza on humanitarian ship as critics beg her to stay with Hamas:’ Let’s hope it’s a one-way voyage’

 Swedish activist Greta Thunberg will sail to Gaza this weekend aboard a humanitarian aid ship — a voyage critics are urging her to buy a one-way ticket for.

The 22-year-old climate advocate, along with several other high-profile activists, will embark on the “Madleen” from Catania, Sicily on Sunday to deliver vital supplies to the Palestinian people in Gaza and protest Israel’s months-long blockade there.

The World Health Organization has warned that Gaza is at risk of famine because of the blockade, with three-quarters of its population suffering “emergency” or “catastrophic” food deprivation.

“The world cannot be silent bystanders,” Thunberg said about the mission, run by the Freedom Flotilla Coalition (FFC).

This silence and passivity that we are seeing from most of the world is deadly. We are seeing a systematic starvation of 2 million people. Every single one of us has a moral obligation to do everything we can to fight for a free Palestine.”

It will mark the second attempt in as many months by FCC activists — the “Conscience” was attacked by drones on May 2 in international waters off the coast of Malta.

The FFC alleged that Israel was responsible for the attack, which prevented the ship from making its journey, a claim the Jewish State has neither confirmed nor denied.

“Game of Thrones” actor Liam Cunningham and European Member of Parliament Rima Hassan will also be aboard the “Madleen,” but critics zeroed in on Thunberg’s participation — with many suggesting the young activist stay put in the warzone.

Sky News Australia host Danica De Giorgio named Thunberg her “big loser of the week.”

“She’s sailing to Gaza like it’s some sort of idyllic holiday destination,” De Giorgio seethed. “She really is annoying at all times.”

“She’s such an urban terrorist herself, she’ll fit right in. But also I’m wondering if it’s a secret deal from the Israelis — all the Hamas terrorists will leave if she’s inflicted on them. Wouldn’t you?” added guest Prue MacSween of Verve Communications.

“This girl is not well, I believe, and let’s just hope she stays over there. I think that would be a good thing.”

Critics online shared the same sentiment.

“I hope she stay in Gaza,” one user wrote.

“Let’s hope it’s a one-way voyage,” said another.

Thunberg’s trip comes as Hamas is reportedly calling for Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu to remain in discussions on a permanent cease-fire after an initial release of hostages is completed as part of a US-backed 60-day peace proposal handed over to the terror group.

US Special Envoy to the Middle East Steve Witkoff received Hamas’ response Saturday that demanded the US make it more difficult for the Jewish State to resume fighting if a permanent ceasefire is not reached within the truce timeline, a source told The Times of Israel, indicating that more changes could delay the talks.
