Harvard has been bleeding financial support since October, when Ivy League students began campus demonstrations in support of Hamas. One of their billionaire donors recently explained why he is no longer supporting the institution, calling out the school for its embrace of DEI (diversity, equity and inclusion) policies. Adding insult to injury, he called the students whiny snowflakes. CNN actually covered this: $500 million Harvard megadonor halts donations, says elite schools produce ‘whiny snowflakes’ ..Hedge fund billionaire Ken Griffin, who has donated more than $500 million to Harvard University over the years, has halted contributions to his alma mater and claimed elite schools produce “whiny snowflakes.”

If mega donors like Ken Griffin really want to get Harvard's)and the other Ivy League liberal schools), take what you were giving to Harvard and give it to a smaller conservative college, with values that you agree with. Start with places like Hillsdale. You can help several smaller colleges/universities for the price of one Harvard donation. And these colleges would appreciate it a lot more than the Harvard money whores.

My problem is that these actions are long, long overdue and very likely a waste of time. These donors had no problem with conservative speakers being shouted down, the almost complete lack of conservative voices in the faculty, and the blatant punishment of dissenting voices that has been going on for literally decades. Why now are they suddenly offended? They're the very ducks who built Harvard's endowment up to $50 billion dollars enabling Harvard to ignore a $300 million loss as a minor bump in the road.

They donate because they have more money than they will ever need and there are tax advantages. Ken Griffin used to live in Chicago but got fed up with the Democrat regime.

Migrants housed in one of New York City's hotels will receive pre-paid cards with which to buy food and baby supplies, instead of the city providing meals the migrants often did not want. Eric Adams, the mayor of New York, estimated the scheme will save the city $600,000 a month, or $7.2 million annually. The pilot program is being rolled out at the Roosevelt Hotel in Manhattan, with 500 families involved, The New York Post reported. They will be given cards which can be only used at bodegas, supermarkets and delis. Migrants must sign an affidavit promising to only use the cards for food and baby supplies, or else

The Biden administration on Friday afternoon ordered strikes against facilities in Iraq and Syria associated with Iran-backed militants responsible for the deaths of three U.S. soldiers in Jordan earlier this week, but said it does not want war with Iran. The strikes targeted 85 targets at three facilities in Iraq and four in Syria, including command and control headquarters, ammunition storage, and other facilities. White House national security spokesman John Kirby said on a call with reporters that the targets were “carefully chosen facilities that we knew were involved in used by the [Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps] and these militant groups in attacks against US personnel.”

Anti-Israel protesters spewing anti-cop chants clashed with police at a rally outside Columbia University on Friday — leading to nine arrests over several hours. The “All Out for Palestine” demonstration kicked off at 3 p.m. and less than two hours later protesters waving Palestinian flags could be seen in footage posted to social media scuffling with NYPD officers in the street. “NYPD, KKK. IDF they’re all the same,” the group chanted as at least one protester was seen being detained by police. A swarm of screaming protesters tried to intervene and rip cops off a woman as they tried to take her into custody in a scuffle, the clip shows.

On Friday, Speaker of the House of Representatives, Mike Johnson (R-LA) mused about the possibility of something that is becoming more and more apparent with each passing day: Joe Biden isn't the guy in charge in Washington. Speaker Mike Johnson (R-La.) speculated Friday that President Biden’s staff is keeping him from taking executive action to stem the flow of migrants on the southern border. “He knows that he has the authority. We’ve documented it for him. I’ve read to him the law myself — to the president. Read him the provisions of the law and said, ‘Mr. President, please take action,’” Johnson said

Since then, seven illegal aliens have been arrested, while five illegal aliens are wanted.
The Truth about Campaign Donations 0 replies
Posted by Imright 2/2/2024 7:22:22 PM Post Reply
Donald Trump received fewer campaign donations in the final quarter of 2023 than Joe Biden. Trump's campaign reported donations of 19 million dollars to the electoral commission for the last three months of last year. Biden received 33 million dollars and Trump's only remaining intra-party rival Nikki Haley received 17 million dollars. Anticapitalists repeatedly claim that the rich have a decisive influence on politics and the outcome of elections, primarily through donations. This theory has always been wrong and the amount of donations will in all likelihood not be decisive for the election in 2024 either.
