Once Revered, the Harvard Brand Is Now
Officially Toxic

Few tests at Harvard University, I’d presume, are what anyone would deem as easy. But when it came to the easiest one of all, Harvard flunked in spectacular fashion. The only reason Claudine Gay isn't being called “the former president of Harvard” today is because the university decided to not fire her, despite overwhelming pressure to do so after she waffled about the right of anti-Israel protesters to call for the genocide of Jews on campus. And she did so under oath on Capitol Hill, no less. "At Harvard, does calling for the genocide of Jews violate Harvard's rules of bullying and harassment?" Rep. Elise Stefanik (R-N.Y.) asked

Some people continue to portray Jewish students as somehow evil. These people need more than schools.

It was toxic way before this latest fiasco. When DEI, CRT, SEL, and ISG are vaunted as holy writ, and when conservatives were banned from speaking on campus, Harvard lost its cache. Now it has become a nursery school for spoiled brats with their outsized sense of self-importance. When teachers cannot teach and only indoctrinate, you get Harvard as it now stands. Or hopefully, falls.

As Bill Maher said, "Harvard is a Wuhan wet market of ignorance." Yes, I'd say that says the Harvard Brand is toxic. Maher summed it up perfectly.

Nothing the Board does helps. Harvard is the least free speech of all examined; it is anti-Semitic; Rachel Levine who demands everybody use She when speaking to him on pain of punishment, is a graduate; the president is a plagiarist, and in this emergency the Board's priority is not to appear to give way to anybody. Not frightened students, not donors, not alumni, not Congress, not God Almighty. Their individual alliances in the Democratic party and their progressive project is the biggest priority they see. Not wise. not wise.

So I guess this means plagiarism is now fully acceptable behavior for the entire student body. That's assuming it wasn't already...

She's gone. Harvard is so dumbed down they are having issues grasping it. She will be booted as soon as they begin to see the big picture. Maybe by the weekend.

Let's see how much the University loves her when all their perks from the US taxpayers dry up. BTW since Harvard has $31 Billion dollars which is invested I am sure the proceeds from that would more than cover the tuition the students pay. They either should pay taxes or up the amount of scholarships based purely on merit.

It seems to me that the ONLY thing these fancy 'schools' have is their reputation. As I understand it, that reputation was earned by many decades of many people doing hard work and exhibiting academic excellence. Now the Leftists have infected these institutions and are destroying them from the inside out. Finally it is out in the open for the general public to see. Just as the Perverts have destroyed Disney and Bud Light, the hard Leftists are destroying these once-premier universities. I predict that now, that "HAAAVVVAAARRDD" is a term of ridicule, the money will dry up, the best students will apply elsewhere, and the wholesale decline will begin in earnest. It seems to me that, if severe and thorough housecleaning is conducted RIGHT NOW, that the damage can be halted. But, given the evil leftist fools that now have their hands on the levers of power, it's not going to happen.

Charles McGonigal, the disgraced former FBI official who also helped to launch the Trump collusion probe, is headed to prison. The man who pleaded guilty to conspiracy and to concealing foreign contacts and bribes will be spending over four years in a federal prison. McGonigal had been working with a Russian oligarch, Oleg Deripaska, who is also known as "Putin's henchman." During the sentencing, McGonigal admitted that his actions have caused him "extreme mental, emotional, and physical pain," but still asked for a second chance from the judge in the case.

Canadian journalist Ian Vandaelle has died at the age of 33 after an unexplained illness, according to a social media post by his partner and fellow journalist Stephanie Hughes. Vandaelle drew the ire of unvaccinated Canadians after he advocated for vaccine mandates during the Covid-19 pandemic, advocating for both the “carrot” and the “stick” approach. “Incentivize getting the vaccine however we like … and require vaccination to do … non-essential things. Wanna go to a bar to watch the game? Passport,” Vandaelle wrote on X (Twitter) in 2021.

The White House admitted on Wednesday that President Joe Biden was “familiar” with his son’s plans to violate a congressional subpoena issued by House Republicans. The moment came during a White House press conference when Fox News’ Peter Ducey asked Press Secretary Karine Jean-Pierre about Hunter’s refusal to abide by House Republicans’ subpoena. By subpoenaing the younger Biden, House Republicans sought to compel him to sit for a closed-door deposition hearing where they could dig into Joe’s leading role in the Biden family’s foreign business ventures. When asked about Hunter’s refusal to testify in the Republicans’ sought-after deposition, Jean-Pierre admitted that Joe was “familiar” with what his son would say

A few weeks ago, I wrote about how The Drudge Report—or whoever is running it now—began boycotting PJ Media the minute it was announced that we had become part of the Salem/Townhall Media family in 2019. Not only did he/they/whatever remove us from the blog roll, where we had been listed for as long as I can remember, but we stopped getting Drudge links. For a site like PJ Media that exists on razor-thin margins— thanks to Big Tech censorship and a major collapse in digital ad revenues—being cut off from one of the largest media aggregators in the world was a gut punch.

Nihilism is the religion of the Left. Anarchy is now at the core of the new Democratic Party. If the Left wished radically to alter the demography of the U.S., it could have expanded legal immigration through legislation or the courts. Instead, it simply erased the border and dynamited federal immigration law. By fiat, nihilists ended the wall, and stopped detaining and deporting illegal aliens altogether. Or was it worse than that when candidate Joe Biden in September 2019 urged would-be illegal aliens to "surge" the border? As a result, through laxity and entitlement incentives, eight million illegal entrants have swarmed the southern border under the Biden administration. They are swamping border towns, bankrupting

Since the written word is the worst way to convey sarcasm, let me start off by saying parts of this column will be dripping with it. If you can’t spot those sections and think I’ve suddenly become a mentally deranged leftist, I can’t help you. The Biden family is not corrupt. You can tell this by how they insist they are not corrupt while not addressing any of the evidence amassed by Republicans (since the media isn’t doing even the basics of their job by looking into it), rather simply declaring themselves to be innocent. Innocent people always martyr themselves without proving anything, that’s just science. Of course, I’m joking.

Before we get to this direct rejection of the Biden/Blinken ‘credit’ argument, let’s go over the background that led to it. Under pressure from progressive anti-Semites in his party, Joe Biden growled yesterday about Israel’s supposedly “indiscriminate” bombing campaign in Gaza. His comments at a campaign event yesterday sent shock waves through the US media: “Israel’s security can rest on the United States,” Biden stated during a campaign event Tuesday, as he touted his government’s strong support of Israel. … “But they’re starting to lose that support by the indiscriminate bombing that takes place” in Gaza, Biden said, in a statement that implied Israel was needlessly targeting civilians.

WASHINGTON - U.S. President Joe Biden said on Tuesday that Israel is losing support over its "indiscriminate" bombing of Gaza and that Benjamin Netanyahu should change, exposing a new rift in relations with the Israeli prime minister. Biden's remarks, made to donors to his 2024 re-election campaign, were his most critical to date of Netanyahu's handling of Israel's war in Gaza. They are a stark contrast to his literal and political embrace of the Israeli leader days after Hamas militants' Oct. 7 attack on southern Israel.

One of the critical questions emerging among the Western commentariat regarding the Israel-Gaza war is what to do with the Hamas terrorists captured by the IDF. Should these be detained as POWs and treated tolerantly, as specified by the Geneva Conventions of 1949? A second question on which the answer to the first depends entails the professional nature and capacity of the captives, that is, are they indeed “soldiers “as understood by the term — members of a nation’s armed services that conduct military operations? Are they members of a resistance “army” who continue to abide by the rules of war, treating captives humanely,

Hunter Biden has told friends that he might have to flee the country if Donald Trump is reelected, after already enduring months of deeply personal political attacks and mounting legal woes. Republicans have put him front and center of their efforts to say his father acted corruptly when he was vice president. And he could face almost 20 years in prison if convicted of three felony and six misdemeanor charges brought last week. The result is an 81-year-old father desperately worried about the welfare of a son who has battled drink and drugs, and a son who fears more attacks if Trump wins in 2024.

Additionally, federal workers were instructed to take rail for trips less than 250 miles when cost-effective and feasible rather than flying.

In an extreme move to address the climate “crisis” and the state’s infamous water droughts, California may be looking to utilize “toilet to tap” conversions. In a tentative vote reportedly planned for next week, the California State Water Resources Control Board may vote on a measure that would allow sewage water to be converted into purportedly safe drinking water. Under the proposed plan, wastewater that is currently treated and released into oceans and rivers, and used for field irrigation, may be “treated at a higher level” and then sent “back into the main water supply over the course of hours to days,” the Washington Examiner reported.

The peer-reviewed study published Wednesday in the Public Library of Science's journal PLOS One investigated greenhouse gas emissions of methane and nitrous oxide in human breath, which allegedly "contribute to global warming." Well, there it is! I knew it was coming! Are you serious about stopping global warming? Well, then, just stop breathing! What a boon to depopulationists!
