Watching Congresswoman Elise Stefanik’s questioning of the presidents of MIT, Harvard, and the University of Pennsylvania may have been eye-opening for many, but for those of us who have been paying attention, it wasn’t. Their answers were dumb and once the full extent of their discriminatory policies are exposed in private litigation and Title VI federal and congressional investigations, it will be clear why they answered as they did hoping to avoid the scrutiny they deserve. Even dumber are the students being taught at these and most of our colleges and universities. Dumbest are the boards which have for the past decades ignored the policies which have led to this,

What is mind-boggling to me is the complexity liberals have to live by when there is another standard and it is, "And you shall love the Lord your God with all your heart and with all your soul and with all your mind and with all your strength. The second is this: You shall love your neighbor as yourself. There is no other commandment greater than these.” It does not get any simpler. When a person lives in the world of "It can be depending on the context," their life will be spent running in circles. I would call it sad rather than dumb.

Although A/T gives us,through Clarice, a good review of this weeks episode of stupid,these figureheads are only a symptom of the much deeper educational and cultural rot. These institutions are the way they are because we failed in our civic duties to watch what our children and our neighbors children learn at elementary school through college. The fact that we allowed our institutions and foundations to be bought and lead by freaks,weirdos and foreign interests mirrors our political class being bought and sold by the same destructive forces. The only good coming from all of this is the realization of how truly destructive the Ivy League and our so-called elite have been for a very long time,i.e. McNamara,Kissinger,Kennedy,Bush etc etc.

When you’ve got large shares of ignorant college students being jerked around by Soros funded terrorist sympathizers you have bigger problems than the affirmative action hires of the people running the universities. You have decades of cultural rot that will never be undone.

Follow the money. It's always about the money. These Ivy Leagues are in reality extremely large banks and managing "endowments" becomes the top job for the President and Board of Directors. As long as the Endowment pays their exorbitant salaries, they could care less if the university educates. Sad to say, education has become strictly "for-profit" business. Gone are the days when most higher education administrators was focused on just keeping the doors open with plenty of dedicated professors willing to teach for free, just to keep students matriculating. Good luck finding such people today. It's no wonder better life choices being made today involve obtaining a vocational skill and leaving "Philosophy 101" and "Intro to Gender Studies" to the "intellectual" losers of society.

"Academic leaderss" are not selected for their brilliance or research abilities these days, they are selected for their political reliability, ability to follow orders from the leftist leadership, willingness and ability to spout any sort of ridiculous, or evil nonsense with a studied "sincere" conviction in public, even in Congress. So, we shouldn't be surprised that these political whores aren't real bright. That is not anywhere in the job requirements list.

Spot on - which is par for Clarice. These administrators and the marching, chanting penguins on their campuses are ignorant tools. The military has long known that senior officers who began their military life in the trenches make much better leaders than recent academy graduates because the life experience of fighting beside soldiers in the mud and the blood is invaluable and a much more thorough education. In comparison, people who have been guided through the halls of academia and been awarded unearned advanced degrees without ever having experienced real life make the poorest sort of administrators. This is what we have seen with these four dopes who run universities based on using theory, racial bias and leftist ideals. Free speech is a wonderful thing but ignoring the other side of the sword is extremely foolish and harmful.

FTA: Both Gay and Magill’s schools rank at the very bottom of FIRE’s free speech ranking of 248 universities. Kind of hard to use Freedom of Speech as your defense when your university actively attacks Freedom of Speech. FTA: “It is a context-dependent decision, Congresswoman.” Kornbluth indicated it would, “If targeting individuals, not making public statements.” Seems like Trump could use this argument for the 6 Jan thing. FTA: “go back to where you came from.” So the anti-Semites are telling the Jews in America to go back Israel? Isn't your goal to get Jews OUT of what you call "Palestine", not add to their numbers? (I'd say this is illogical except that word has no meaning to Muslims (not to mention, it is considered "unIslamic"). Also, apparently, not only do our college students not know anything about history, geography or politics, they are ignorant of the nuances of proper discrimination.

Half a century ago, George Orwell, writing on literary censorship, wrote that “unpopular ideas can be silenced, and inconvenient facts kept dark, without the need for any official ban.” That dynamic now broadly extends to an opaque network of government agencies and self-proclaimed anti-misinformation groups that have repressed online speech. There’s no official ban on discussing the efficacy of COVID-19 vaccines or criticizing American involvement in the Ukraine-Russia war, but editors and journalists have realized that writing on such topics can come at a cost. News publishers have been demonetized and shadow-banned for reporting dissenting views and the bureaucratic means for enforcing this form of control are under increasing scrutiny.

The Biden administration made two virtue-signaling proclamations at last week’s COP28 conference in Dubai it says will help save the planet from climate change. The policies aren’t likely to change the planet’s temperature by even one-tenth of a degree, but they might just destroy the 21st-century American industrial economy as we know it. First, Team Biden announced it will stop production of all new coal plants in the United States. This comes on the heels of President Biden’s Environmental Protection Agency saying this year it would impose new power-plant emission regulations that are virtually impossible for coal plants to comply with. The bottom line: no more coal. Period.

“I did not leave with optimism,” Mayor Adams confessed last week, after spending a day in Washington cadging spare change. Bonaparte might have said the same of his visit to Russia, in 1812. But it gets worse: “It’s going to be up to New Yorkers to navigate this challenge that we are facing,” he said – the challenge being the migration-driven fiscal tsunami now bearing down on his city. The thing about tsunamis, of course, is that they are not navigable. Pretending otherwise, as a matter of public policy, is either foolish or dishonest. Pick one.

The London-based TV station ‘Iran International’ and the news website ‘Semafor’ sent shockwaves through Europe and America in September when they revealed that an influential organization known as the Iran Experts Initiative (IEI), which had consistently lobbied and advised EU governments and the European Parliament, was in fact fashioned and directed by Tehran, stirring profound implications for global diplomacy and security. Based on an avalanche of leaked emails, the two news organizations showed how the IEI had been created by the mullahs’ regime in 2014 “to improve Tehran’s image abroad.”

Far-left billionaire George Soros has funneled more than $50 million to a network of Iran-sympathizer groups whose members have gained significant sway within the Biden White House — pushing to defang US sanctions on Tehran while advocating for a renewed nuclear deal. A Post examination of Soros’ Open Society Foundations records shows the progressive kingmaker has given a staggering $46.7 million since 2016 to the International Crisis Group, a lefty think tank tied to an alleged Iranian plot to manipulate US policy.

An elderly Palestinian woman bravely took Hamas to task for hoarding international aid meant for desperate civilians during an interview with Al Jazeera inside the Gaza Strip Wednesday, according to a DC-based media research institute. The unidentified woman condemned the terror group that controls Gaza, apparently unbothered by the potential consequences, as she spoke openly to the reporter for the Qatar-backed station with others standing around her, according to the footage and translation shared by the Middle East Media Research Institute. The clip provided by MEMRI begins with the interviewer asking the woman about the lack of food or water in the area.
Hunter indictment designed specifically

The 56-page indictment of Hunter Biden for tax evasion makes for racy reading, with the special counsel describing a four-year criminal pattern directed at maintaining Biden’s “extravagant lifestyle.” That lifestyle included massive expenses for strippers, sex clubs, fast cars and other distractions. The steps taken by Hunter to evade taxes are impressive, but not nearly as impressive as the efforts of the Justice Department to evade any direct implications for his father, President Biden. In that sense, the indictment itself is a marvel of evasion. There are three glaring omissions in the indictment that tend to shield critical payments and conduct that implicate the president.

The Iranian-backed Houthis claimed two of the attacks. The strikes marked an escalation in a series of maritime attacks in the Mideast linked to the Israel-Hamas war, as multiple vessels found themselves in the crosshairs of a single Houthi assault for the first time in the conflict. The U.S. vowed to “consider all appropriate responses” in the wake of the attack, specifically calling out Iran,

After the past week's Congressional hearings, the presidents of Harvard University, the Massachusetts Institute of Technology, and the University of Pennsylvania are being exposed to an amount of publicity and scrutiny they're not used to and likely wish would go away. As we reported, the trio claimed that calls for genocide against Jews needed to be placed into context before deciding whether they violated student codes of conduct. The backlash was swift, and so was the backpedaling. UPenn's Liz Magill wasn't able to keep her job, though, and Harvard's Claudine Gay might not be far behind. Gay has already had a rough tenure, as investigative journalist Chris Rufo writes:

The coach, who was not identified by name, told the Montgomery County Sheriff’s Office that Jevin was benched during the away game “due to his behavior toward an opposing team player” — a disciplinary action that “infuriated” the teen and his family.

A judge on Friday certified a class action lawsuit that alleges that Disney paid 9,000 women less than their male counterparts. The suit is the largest ever certified under California’s Equal Pay Act, which makes it illegal for workers to be paid less for substantially similar work based on their gender. Lori Andrus, the plaintiffs’ attorney, applauded the ruling outside the courtroom in downtown Los Angeles. “Disney has been gaslighting these women for four years,” she said. “They love their jobs. They love the brand. But they want to be respected and treated the way they should be in the workplace.” Disney expressed disappointment in a written statement.

Following precise IDF and ISA intelligence, the IAF killed the new commander of Hamas’ Shuja'iyya Battalion, Emad Krikae. The previous commander of the Hamas battalion had already been killed by the IDF earlier in the war. Since 2019, Krikae had been the Deputy Commander of Hamas’ Shuja'iyya Battalion. He was previously responsible for anti-tank missile training in the Gaza City Brigade. Kirikae was also part of anti-tank missile fire and terrorist raids carried out inside Israeli territory. Following the elimination of the commander of Hamas’ Shuja'iyya Battalion during the war, Krikae temporarily assumed the position of battalion commander before also being killed by the IDF.
