We welcome more than a million foreign college students every year. Most are brilliant, have common horse sense, and go on to have successful careers in their own country, or here.
Recently, a few hundred decided their hatred for Israel (and Jewish students) is more important than the special opportunity to study here. And it’s shocking how many American students (and professors) agree with ‘em.
Well, I have a suggestion. These students from a foreign country who are pro-Hamas should take their educational goals to a different foreign country where they will fit right in: Iran. At the University of Tehran, they will love being surrounded by others who hate Israel and America.
Meanwhile, scientists are thinking about bringing back to life a few extinct animals including the woolly mammoth, passenger pigeon and dodo bird. While they are pondering, I suggest they follow the same guidelines that President Trump has set for new regulations. For every new one, eliminate 10 existing ones.
Maybe a few woolly mammoths would be welcomed. But I don’t want them roaming through my cornfield or back yard. Send them to northern Canada, Greenland or Siberia.
So, which 10 species should we eliminate? Here are 5 to start with: rats, groundhogs, mosquitos, prairie dogs, and rattlesnakes. Any suggestions?
One irritating species a lot of folks would like to get rid of is the IRS. (See quotes below)
