Daniel Friedman @DanFriedman81 - Columbia “student” Elmina Aghayeva had her student visa terminated in 2016 because she wasn’t going to class. Even setting aside that she is illegally in the US, how is she still an undergraduate in 2026?
How did a 13th-year undergraduate get into Columbia, which is supposed to be one of the most exclusive, selective universities in the world? How did she remain a student in good standing when Columbia students are required to complete a full load of courses each semester?
Activists Mohsen Mahdawi and Mahmoud Khalil, both “students” in their thirties who did not seem to attend much class, had similar academic histories. There are probably many others like them. Side doors are being opened into colleges that reject 95% of American applicants, to enroll 30 year-old foreign operatives who organize building occupations and antisemitic encampments.
How are they getting admitted? Why aren’t they getting kicked out for academic failure? Who is paying their $70k tuition?
These aliens do not meet the normal academic requirements for admission, do not fulfill the requirements that are supposed to be required to remain a student, and do not go to class; they are here to destabilize American institutions and spread antisemitism. We have to deport them all.
Needless to say, our terrorist-loving mayor, who is backed by the same people, dropped everything to go to Washington to get her out of immigration detention.

Daniel McAdams @DanielLMcAdams - My guess - and it is based on limited but not extensive contact with Navy warfighters - is that he holds the position that a war on Iran would be a disaster. I don't want to be too specific, but I believe from what I know that this view is widely held among particularly Naval personnel in the Pentagon.
