Harvard President Claudine Gay Hit With
Six New Charges Of Plagiarism
Posted By: Dreadnought, 1/2/2024 1:03:45 AM
Harvard University president Claudine Gay was hit with six additional allegations of plagiarism on Monday in a complaint filed with the university, breathing fresh life into a scandal that has embroiled her nascent presidency and pushing the total number of allegations near 50. Seven of Gay’s 17 published works have already been impacted by the scandal, but the new charges, which have not been previously reported, extend into an eighth: In a 2001 article, Gay lifts nearly half a page of material verbatim from another scholar, David Canon, a political science professor at the University of Wisconsin. That article, "The Effect of Minority Districts and Minority Representation

There's a fascinating new report from the Washington Post about how worried Barack Obama is about Joe Biden's chances of winning in 2024.
According to the report, Obama's first concern about the campaign is about the structure, that Biden's chief advisers are in Washington, D.C., while his campaign is in Wilmington, Delaware. Obama thinks the top people should either be in Wilmington or that the people there should be empowered to make campaign decisions, because as it is now, according to the report, they have to go through D.C. Obama believes that doesn't make for an agile, quick response campaign. While Obama hasn't recommended anyone to help the Biden team,
The Race That No One Can Win
14 replies
A year ago I was confidently predicting that neither Joe Biden nor Donald Trump would be on the 2024 presidential election ballot. The Democrats would be crazy to nominate Biden, and the Republicans would be crazy to nominate Trump. And yet, with the caucus and primary season about to start, here we are. With no sign that the Democrats have a way to get Biden off the ballot, and with mainstream Republicans like Tom Emmer and Tom Cotton lining up behind Trump, we seem destined for an election that neither candidate can possibly win.

In response to allegations that his wife had plagiarized her MIT thesis, billionaire Bill Ackman, who drew attention by challenging antisemitism at Harvard University, has decided to go 'Conan the Barbarian' on MIT, and its media ally, Business Insider, playing the pair at their own 'gotcha-journalism' cancel-culture game:
My wife, @NeriOxman, was just contacted by Business Insider claiming that they have identified other plagiarism in her work including 15 examples in her dissertation where she did not cite Wikipedia as a source.
Business Insider told us that they are publishing their story…

Alaska Airlines has announced that they are grounding their entire fleet of Boeing MAX-9 planes following a terrifying incident in which a hole opened in the plane mid-flight.
The gaping hole opened up in the fuselage of Alaska Flight 1282 on Friday evening. The plane had just taken off from Portland International Airport in Oregon and was headed for Ontario, California. Passengers reported hearing a “loud boom” about 20 minutes into the flight, and one woman told KTLA that a mother and her teenage son were seated in that row. “The oxygen masks dropped down, and I look to my left and hear and see wind blasting, with a piece
Sen. John Fetterman (D-PA) continues to surprise, as he calls out the people on the radical left.
This time Fetterman weighed in on the question of how Harvard has dealt with antisemitism and the case of Claudine Gay. Gay finally resigned as president of the university after her failure to say unequivocally that calling for genocide against Jewish people was against the Harvard Code of Conduct and being accused of a lot of instances of plagiarism. Fetterman just eviscerated Harvard's failure to properly deal with antisemitism and he slammed the Boycott, Divestment and Sanctions (BDS) movement. He said that he went to Harvard 25 years ago,
CNN political commentator Paul Begala said Friday on CNN’s “The Lead” that he hoped the Supreme Court would let former President Donald Trump on all the state ballots.
The Supreme Court announced it would hear arguments on whether Trump’s name can appear on primary-election ballots in Maine and Colorado, citing Section 3 of the 14th Amendment.
Begala said, “I think in his heart of hearts, I hate to read Joe Biden’s heart, but he wants Trump on the ballot. He feels like I beat him once. I’ll beat him again. Um, but more than that, I think Scott is right. As a political matter, a politician. Trump is a political problem.
Is The Washington Post in full-scale collapse? A recent look at the numbers provides a fairly convincing answer to that question.
According to the report, not only is the Post losing $100 million a year, but it lost over half of its online engagement by the end of 2023. The signs were already there by mid-year, and the worst has come to pass. Having a billionaire sugar daddy has helped mask some of the issues plaguing the Post, but the tide can only be held back so long. To lose over 50 percent of its online viewership is catastrophic for an outlet with such high overhead
It used to be that local newspapers were essential for people in small towns to know what was going on. Community newspapers were where townsfolks went for local news coverage, often with a quirky, gossipy twist.
Growing up, I'll always remember visiting my dad's family in the North Georgia mountains in a tiny town nestled on the border with Tennessee. Almost every time we were up there, the lead story in the little newspaper was a pot bust in the woods near some local resident's house, while a column called "Eva Dave's Coffee Break" dished on town gossip.
But over time, local papers began to die.
The Tennessee Star obtained the letter written by an attorney representing Dr. Carol M. Swain, sent on Wednesday to the Harvard Corporation, including Interim President Alan Garber and Senior Fellow Penny Pritzker, demanding answers about what Swain claims is plagiarism of her work by outgoing President Claudine Gay.
The letter revealed Swain requires answers about what Harvard considers “duplicative language,” which is what the university has acknowledged Gay committed in several of her academic works.
Writer and activist Christopher Rufo in December raised allegations that the former Harvard president plagiarized material from Swain’s work for her 1997 Ph.D. thesis. Swain is a former political science professor at Vanderbilt
Is there any hope left for the U.S.S. Biden?
It's not just that his polling numbers are reaching the point of no return.
Now his campaign staff are fleeing -- "in droves."
According to Newsweek:
A group of staffers working on President Joe Biden's reelection campaign warned the president that his volunteers are quitting "in droves" over his handling of Israel's military response in the Gaza Strip.
Biden has faced immense pressure from members of his own party over the United States' policies in light of the surprise Hamas attacks on Israel on October 7, which killed about 1,200 people and resulted in roughly 240 hostages, including some Americans. In response, Israel
Conservatives Are Mastering the Media War
11 replies
The mainstream media has been at war with conservatives for as long as I have been alive, but for most of that time, they have been in such a dominant position that they were able to be relatively subtle about their disgust with the deplorables.
Before the proliferation of cable channels and the narrowcasting that developed, the media had to pretend to play it down the middle. Would it play in Peoria? was the standard by which they calibrated their pitch. By the Bush years, that standard was breaking down; by 2016, it was out the window.
During the Trump years, the media began to let their freak flag fly,
(VALLEY FORGE, Penn.) — In his first major campaign event of 2024, President Joe Biden on Friday, the eve of the third anniversary of the Jan. 6, 2021, attack on the U.S. Capitol, delivered a speech near Valley Forge, Pennsylvania, to argue democracy and fundamental freedoms are under threat if former President Donald Trump returns to the White House.
The president was closely involved in writing the speech, aides told ABC News Chief White House Correspondent Mary Bruce, after he met this week with historians and scholars at the White House, and in what seemed to be especially personal remarks, he said Trump and far-right extremists

leader at NYC Baptist church over gender: suit 24 replies
A veteran pastor at Harlem’s Abyssinian Baptist Church was rejected in her bid to succeed longtime leader Rev. Calvin O. Butts III because the famed house of worship would “never hire a woman” for the job, she claims in a lawsuit.
Eboni Marshall Turman insisted she was the “strongest applicant” to replace Butts, who died of cancer in 2022 at age 73. (snip) Turman claims Grant grilled her “on topics that her male co-applicants were not asked,” and that Grant and another committee member said Abyssinian would have a female pastor “over [their] dead body,” according to the legal filing.

Epstein fixer Michael Sitrick told Los Angeles Magazine thieves broke into his Brentwood office over the New Year’s holiday and stole his computer servers just hours before a tranche of Epstein documents were unsealed and released to the public.
Judge Loretta Preska on Wednesday unsealed the first cache of documents from lawsuits related to Jeffrey Epstein’s abuse which potentially included names of over 150 people.
The first set of documents detailed Ghislaine Maxwell’s recruiting techniques, Prince Andrew’s abuse of the trafficked victims, and Bill Clinton’s fondness for “young” girls.

Within a minute after firing the fatal bullet that struck Ashli Babbitt on Jan. 6, 2021, U.S. Capitol Police Lt. Michael Byrd broadcast a radio report claiming shots were being fired at him in the Speaker’s Lobby and he was “prepared to fire back,” a federal lawsuit alleges.
The previously undisclosed radio dispatch is also contained on an audio recording obtained exclusively by The Epoch Times of the “OPS2” dispatch channel used by Capitol Police on Jan. 6.
Information on the recording is contained in a federal lawsuit filed on Jan. 5 by Ms. Babbitt’s widower,

Ron DeSantis will drop out of the 2024 presidential race if he loses the Iowa caucuses to Donald Trump on January 15, it is claimed.
Two well-acquainted sources within the DeSantis campaign, a significant donor and a high-ranking political operative, told The Hill that if the Florida Governor loses to former President Donald Trump on January 15, he is likely to withdraw from the race altogether.
The announcement would either be made that same night or the following morning - - and with it a reluctant endorsement for Trump and the governor would not move on to New Hampshire, scheduled for January 23.
An MSNBC show took a bizarre turn when host Jonathan Capehart whipped out the Kleenex and started crying while reflecting on the memory of the January 6 riots live on air.
The emotional episode unfolded while Capeheart was in the midst of promoting former DC police officer Michael Fanone's book on the three-year anniversary of the Jan. 6 Capitol riot.
As the TV host introduced Fanone at the start of the live show, he became visibly emotional, pulling out tissues to wipe away tears before the interview even began.
Former Attorney General Bill Barr argued that the Department of Justice (DOJ) cast its net I think there were people involved in January 6, particularly the people who attacked the police and broke their way into the Capitol, there were people that should have been prosecuted, but I think they cast their net far too broadly and have been hounding people that really, you know, just wanted into open doors in the Capitol and hung around,” Barr continued.“far too broadly” on prosecuting rioters involved in the Jan. 6, 2021 attack on the Capitol.

Lloyd Austin’s hospital stay kept secret
for days? 21 replies
Members of Congress and Pentagon leaders were unaware for days that Defense Secretary Lloyd Austin had been hospitalized since Monday, U.S. officials said Saturday, as questions swirled about his condition and the secrecy surrounding it.
And it remained unclear when the White House and other key U.S. officials were told about his stay at Walter Reed National Military Medical Center in Bethesda, Maryland.
The Pentagon’s failure to disclose Austin’s hospitalization for days reflects a stunning lack of transparency about his illness, how serious it was and when he may be released. Such secrecy,

Washington— Members of far-right extremist groups. Former police officers. An Olympic gold medalist swimmer. And active duty U.S. Marines.
They are among the hundreds of people who have been convicted in the massive prosecution of the Jan 6, 2021, riot in the three years since the stunned nation watched the U.S. Capitol attack unfold on live TV.
Washington’s federal courthouse remains flooded with trials, guilty plea hearings and sentencings stemming from what has become the largest criminal investigation in American history. And the hunt for suspects is far from over.
President Joe Biden kicked off his reelection campaign on Friday near Valley Forge, Pennsylvania, with recycled attack lines against Donald Trump that he had previously used in the 2020 presidential campaign. (Video) Biden claimed — as if it were a fact — that Trump had called fallen soldiers (Biden called them “dead soldiers”) “suckers” and “losers,” an unsubstantiated accusation by unnamed sources that was refuted at the time by more than a dozen people who went on the record, including some who opposed Trump.
