Conservative Gettysburg College group catches student on video tearing down promotional flyers
NEWYou can now listen to Fox News articles!
A video captured by a member of a conservative campus group at a private Pennsylvania college shows a student tearing down its promotional flyers, according to the group.
The Young America’s Foundation (YAF) chapter at Gettysburg College hosted conservative author and speaker Vince Ellison on Nov. 20. Days before the event, the group posted advertisements for the event around campus.
But according to Gettysburg College YAF Chairman Tyler Seeman, students who oppose right-leaning ideals tore down the chapter’s flyers — something Seeman says happens every semester when the campus group hosts an event — and one of them was caught on camera.
“Every semester, Gettysburg YAF has a campus lecture. So, we invite one of the speakers from YAF’s speaker list to come to campus and discuss whatever their specialty is,” Seeman told Fox News Digital.

YOUNG AMERICA’S FOUNDATION TABLE GETS TRASHED AT OSU BY PERSON WHO TELLS CONSERVATIVES TO ‘F— OFF’
In the video, a YAF member climbs a flight of stairs after seeing a student pulling the group’s flyers off the wall, and races to confront the alleged perpetrator.
“You having fun?” the YAF member asks.
“Yeah,” the student quickly replies.
“You know that’s against college policy, right?” the YAF member asks.
“OK,” the student says, before falling silent.
The YAF member then chastised the student for not making it out of the building before being caught red-handed.
“We’ve got more of those [flyers] in the stairwell, you wanna go get those too?” the YAF member asks.
“I don’t know,” the student replies.
The YAF member then escorts the alleged perpetrator out of the building.

He said that every semester, the group posts flyers to advertise its event, like all campus groups do.
“Every semester, students on campus tear our flyers down because we’re the only conservative 501(c)(3) on campus that actually hosts campus lectures,” Seeman said. “So, some students feel, I would presume, that our views and our speakers’ statements are contrary or dangerous to their own perspectives and their own worldview.”
Seeman characterized the school as “apathetic” toward the chapter’s plight. He said that on one occasion, the school sent out an email to some students condemning the behavior of YAF’s opponents, but on another occasion, school administrators declined a request to admonish bad actors.

“Removing flyers posted in accordance with our posting policy is a violation of our community standards,” Gettysburg College spokesperson Jamie White told Fox News Digital. “Students in violation of this policy are subject to sanctions by the College.”

“While federal law prohibits us from answering questions about specific student cases, I can say it would be highly unusual for such behavior not to be sanctioned,” White said.
Seeman shared a message to those on campus who oppose YAF’s views.
“Instead of tearing down flyers, show up to our events and ask questions, because we want to have that dialogue,” he said.
“At the end of the day, that’s just going to get everyone in the room thinking about these issues, and we’d rather have as many people thinking about these issues and talking about these issues as possible, rather than just tearing down flyers and trying to silence other people’s speech, because that’s not constructive.”
YAF is no stranger to left-wing targeting on campus.
Their chapter at the University of Iowa was subject to a table-flipping incident last month.

A criminal complaint against a student named Justin Calhoon says he flipped a YAF table on campus on Oct. 27. He was arrested on Oct. 31 and charged with disorderly conduct, fifth-degree criminal mischief and third-degree harassment, according to arrest records.
Calhoon was later accused of flipping a Turning Point USA table on campus, and was arrested again.

Brown University shooter confessed in videos to planning attack for long time, showed no remorse: DOJ
NEWYou can now listen to Fox News articles!
Federal prosecutors on Tuesday released transcripts of short videos they say were recorded by the gunman responsible for a mass shooting at Brown University and the killing of an MIT professor in Massachusetts.
The U.S. Attorney’s Office for the District of Massachusetts said investigators recovered an electronic device containing the videos when they executed a federal search warrant on Dec. 18, 2025, at a storage facility used by Claudio Manuel Neves Valente, whom authorities described as “the Portuguese national responsible for the senseless murders.”
The videos were recorded in Portuguese and later translated into English, prosecutors said. In the recordings, Neves Valente described the attack as the culmination of long planning.
“It’s done. It was, it was six months, man. Not six months, six semesters. Uh. I had already planned this for a little more,” he said in one video, according to the transcripts.

Authorities said Neves Valente identified Brown University as his intended target but did not provide a motive for shooting students at Brown or for killing the MIT professor, Nuno Loureiro, 47. Prosecutors said the investigation into a motive will continue.
Two Brown students, Ella Cook, 19, and Muhammad Aziz Umurzokov, 18, were killed in the Dec. 13 shooting on the Providence, Rhode Island, campus, and nine other people were wounded, authorities said. Just two days later, Loureiro, a professor at MIT, was killed in Brookline.
In the transcript, Neves Valente repeatedly refused to express remorse.

“So, what has been done now… I’m in a storage space in Salem, I’ve had this here for three years, I think. I still have money. … I am not going to apologize, because during my lifetime no one sincerely apologized to me.” He also rejected that mental illness was to blame, saying: “that’s all bull—- excuses.”
“I am – I am sane,” he said. “I’ve always been, more or less [sane].”
Neves Valente also said President Donald Trump was right to “have called me an animal, which is true.”
“I am an animal, and he is also, but uhm, I have no love–I have no hatred towards America, I also have no hatred at all. This was an issue of… of opportunity.”

Prosecutors said Neves Valente “showed no remorse” during the recordings and blamed victims for their deaths.
In the transcript, he criticized people’s responses during the shooting, saying, “Because they were kind of stupid.”
He also dismissed how the world would view him after he carried out the mass shooting on the college campus.
“I don’t give a d— about how you judge me or what you think of me,” he said, while also saying, “I also have no interest in being famous.”

Florida-based breakfast chain makes Boston debut with newest location
Boston just got a new breakfast spot that’s serving up freshly made juices and dishes from morning until the afternoon.
Florida-based chain First Watch opened its first Boston location at 777 Boylston St. on Wednesday, Jan. 7.
The opening marks the second First Watch location in Massachusetts, joining its Hanover restaurant that opened in January 2025.
First Watch was founded in Pacific Grove, California in 1983. The company later moved its headquarters to Bradenton, Florida in 1986 and is now headquartered in Sarasota.
Before breaking into New England, First Watch was recognized in other markets for its modern take on breakfast, brunch and lunch food. All dishes are made to order using fresh ingredients in a kitchen without heat lamps, microwaves or deep fryers.
Staples include the Lemon Ricotta Pancakes — a mid-stack of whipped ricotta pancakes topped with lemon curd, strawberries and powdered cinnamon sugar — and Million Dollar Bacon — four slices of hardwood smoked bacon baked with brown sugar, black pepper, cayenne and a maple syrup drizzle.
First Watch also offers seasonal items that rotate roughly five times a year. Sample offerings during the winter include the fan-favorite B.E.C. Sandwich — a bacon, egg and cheddar sandwich served on griddled artisan sourdough bread — and the Strawberry Tres Leches French Toast that’s made with challah bread and topped with strawberries, dulce de leche, whipped cream and spiced gingerbread cookie crumbles.
First Watch’s fresh juice program is a company staple as well. The juices are made in-house every morning and change based on the season. Examples include the “Morning Meditation,” “Kale Tonic,” and “Purple Haze.”
First Watch also serves Project Sunrise coffee, which is made from coffee beans sourced by women coffee farmers in South America.
First Watch Boston is open 7 a.m. to 2:30 p.m. daily.

Commanders sign athletic former Pittsburgh Steelers cornerback
The Washington Commanders have signed former Pittsburgh Steelers cornerback Darius Rush to a reserve/future contract, the team announced.
Rush joined Washington in August after he was released by the Cleveland Browns, and spent the entire season with the team. Now, he will get a chance to showcase what he can do in the offseason and make a roster push.
Rush was also previously with the Kansas City Chiefs, but was waived/injured at the beginning of training camp.
The Steelers released Rush in last October, freeing him up to become a member of the Chiefs. He initially made the active roster, but after a rough preseason, the team went in another direction to locate some help, which they found in James Pierre.
Rush, a 2023 fourth-round pick out of South Carolina by the Indianapolis Colts, was cut by the Colts out of training camp. The Chiefs proceeded to claim Rush off waivers following his release, before the Steelers then signed him weeks later in 2023.
With Pittsburgh, Rush took on the role of dimebacker against the Tennessee Titans a season ago, playing 21 snaps in his NFL regular-season debut. He would win a starting gunner role to start the year in Pittsburgh, but not hold onto it after pressure from Pierre.
