Project Veritas was recently implicated by federal prosecutors in the theft of a diary belonging to the daughter of President Joe Biden, according to The New York Times. Authorities executed a search warrant at the homes of several Project Veritas employees, including O’Keefe, the Times reported.

project veritas is to be questioned, that’s fair. that doesn’t mean they’re incapable of getting one right.

Let’s see how it plays out. news says this guy has been placed on leave already, and schools don’t do that without a darn good reason.

I’ve taught, i’m assuming you haven’t. This is what happens in many many parts of academia. I am sorry to break it to you, but not every single story that paints the left in a negative light, is false.

If this guy meant what he said, is it newsworthy? i know you’d gleefully report if a republican city councilman in Boise Idaho had an overdue library book, well sometimes the left is bad enough in ways that are actually worth discussing too.

If your central nervous system can’t handle a discussion of a democrat behaving inappropriately, that’s your issue, nobody else’s.

hey....when was the last time the FBI raided and searched someone's home or property because they believed a diary had been stolen?

Maybe there were nuclear secrets in there????

and i’m a sheep for posting something from project veritas, but his source in the diary scoop is the New York Times, who always play it right down the middle and never let politics influence what gets printed. Never.

Way to feed the stereotype that “Liberals have no sense of humor”

Just lightening the mood

on school choice, you said it’s wrong for taxpayers to subsidize sending other kids to private schools. Please explain how the student loan forgiveness, which you support, isn’t the same thing?

Can’t wait.

yes we are cry babies. liberals never ever protest when they don’t get their way.

simple jim because their not .. but you do love suggesting that everything the same

yes we are cry babies. liberals never ever protest when they don’t get their way.
sadly jim you don't understand the difference between a protest .

And Republicans being but hurt and filling a lawsuit just because Biden kept his campaign promise

Hold on...you're saying that when taxpayers pay off student loan debt, that' snot subsidizing private education for others? So if a kid gets $20,000 wiped off his student loan to Yale, and we have to pay for that, how is that not using taxpayer money to subsidize others getting a private education?

You can't just say "it's not the same". Please be specific.

They're not "the same" but for sure they are both ideas where we use taxpayer money to subsidize others going to private school. Unless the student loan forgiveness bill specifies that it has to be a loan for a public college.

OK, so it's OK when liberals shoot cops and burn buildings because they don't get what they want, but when Republicans seek resolution in the courts, that's being a crybaby. Got it, thanks for clarifying.

sure, elections have consequences, I believe that. But if there's some question as to the legality of what Biden did, isn't a suit the way to clear that up?

You say republicans are authoritarians. But Biden wants to spend $300,000,000,000 unilaterally, without getting approval from congress? Maybe he has that authority, maybe he doesn't. Let's see.
