Can Harvard Be Reformed?

Making the rounds of Harvard graduates is an email from an alumnus of Harvard (the oldest college in America) asking pertinent and penetrating questions, some of which are below. It may be that the email was sent only to Harvard graduates; it deserves much wider circulation. Seven of the questions are below. Why do you insist on paying Claudine Gay, an actual serial plagiarist who was forced to resign, a salary of $900,000 a year? Why should Claudine Gay, of all people, be teaching a class on leadership, using Harvard as a case study?

Extremely doubtful unless 100% of the staff is fired and never rehired.

Elise Stefanik was on the Ruthless podcast today. She has written a book "Poison Ivies" about all that has gone wrong at the most prestigious colleges. She herself is a Harvard graduate, but says she would never send her child there.

yes, I did not vote in the Board of Overseers election this time because I know that those who have leadership now have a death grip on these elections, and considering what happened last year, clearly are permitting no candidates likely to challenge them. They have indeed destroyed it - not exactly by their politics but by thinking it is a wise and good thing to cling to power and shove your opinions as hard as you can at everyone and shut out the morons who don' t agree with you. Penny Pritzker, looking at you. fwiw i was 4th generation Harvard, two great grandfathers, whole thing. Ah well. Truth. Perhaps best sought elsewhere. Truth. Let go of all else.

Elite academia has turned into a foreign psy-op. Reading Elise's book, a great argument for trade schools.

After years of the Southern Poverty Law Center demanding that charitable foundations blacklist conservative and Christian nonprofits, the shoe is finally on the other foot: Fidelity Charitable has denied contributions to the SPLC. Fidelity hasn’t targeted the SPLC for ideological reasons in the same way the SPLC targets conservatives, however—America’s largest sponsor of donor-advised funds is merely following its own policies regarding nonprofits under criminal investigation.first reported, Fidelity cut off grants to the SPLC from its customers, who have more than 350,000 donor-advised funds—charitable giving accounts that allow them to maximize tax savings while supporting eligible nonprofits.

Blind spot: Media amplified white supremacy
narrative as SPLC funded Charlottesville organizer

In the wake of the Charlottesville rally in August 2017, the media relied on Southern Poverty Law Center experts to explain an apparent rise in white supremacy in America after Donald Trump’s election. But, while SPLC’s experts helped the media understand America’s racism problem after the rally, it was allegedly funding an organizer of the event, a member of a racist group prone to extremism. At the same time it was double-dipping, the Charlottesville rally launched SPLC’s credibility to new heights and boosted its fundraising hauls.

President Donald Trump said his call Wednesday with Russian President Vladimir Putin included an offer for Russia to help with the conflict in Iran and the enrichment of uranium, which he declined in hopes of getting the war in Ukraine to end instead. The president expressed confidence that a resolution to the Russia-Ukraine war could come “relatively quickly” after the call or that a ceasefire could take place while Russia hosts its Victory Day celebrations on May 9.

Republicans see a clear win in Wednesday’s Supreme Court decision striking down Louisiana’s congressional maps and that victory could keep them in control of the House after November’s election. The Supreme Court, in a major decision, struck down Louisiana’s majority-black House district and weakened the Voting Rights Act, giving Republicans a chance to rewrite the congressional maps, particularly in Southern states. As a result, Republican-led states could eliminate black and Latino electoral districts. And some strategists are arguing it’s time for the party to get aggressive to keep the House in control and protect President Trump’s agenda. Some black lawmakers are already worried they’ll be a target in this year’s election.

Former Democrat Rep. Barney Frank has entered hospice care. Barney Frank, 86, is in hospice care at his home in Maine, where he resides with his husband. Frank is suffering from congestive heart failure. Barney Frank was one of the Democrat Reps who authored the Dodd-Frank bill, which was put in place after the 2008 bank crash. The government arguably caused the failure and then turned around and put in a massive amount of regulations in response to the failure. The Dodd-Frank bill put enormous strain on smaller banks, and eventually, some of the regulations were rolled back. Ironically, Barney Frank sat on the board of Signature Bank,

Republicans took a bold stand against the radical left’s sacred cow: the so-called Freedom of Access to Clinic Entrances (FACE) Act. The hearing exposed how the Biden DOJ weaponized this law as a club to smash pro-life Americans while turning a blind eye to violent attacks on pregnancy resource centers and churches. Freshman Rep. Brandon Gill (R-TX) delivered one of the most uncomfortable moments for the abortion lobby in recent memory. Gill directly confronted Jessica Waters, Assistant Professor of Justice, Law & Criminology and a vocal advocate for abortion access, asking which BARBARIC abortion method she preferred.

In the wake of the latest attempt by garbage leftist idiots to murder President Donald Trump, prominent leftists are deflecting, descending into nearly psychotic redirection, or trying to shift the blame to Trump himself, even after promising to wage war on the president and joking about watching his wife become a widow. Impotent, mindless, and based in fantasy, leftist culture is a violent and childish culture, sowing ruin but pretending innocence. The Law of Merited Impossibility is undefeated as a concept: We absolutely didn’t try to kill you, and you deserve our efforts to kill you. The old Babylon Bee joke headline still lands: “Trump Indicted For Inciting Assassination Attempt.”

Two people have been indicted on federal charges related to the attack on TPUSA reporter Savanah Hernandez. TPUSA reporter Savanah Hernandez was brutally assaulted earlier this month at the Whipple ICE facility in Minneapolis. “I am extremely grateful to the DOJ and FBI for how swiftly they handled this case. I have been assaulted by violent left wing activists multiple times and there has never been a response, so to see the FBI and the justice system utilized to fight back against left wing violence is extremely appreciated,” Savanah Hernandez said in a statement to The Gateway Pundit.

First Lady Melania Trump’s supporters are organizing a grassroots boycott of advertisers for ABC’s Jimmy Kimmel Live! amid a report saying that Disney is “ready to pull” the plug following the left-wing TV host’s comments fantasizing about President Donald Trump’s death just days before the third documented assassination attempt on his life. Kimmel is facing intense backlash from scores of fed-up Melania Trump fans after he called the First Lady an “expectant widow” before a gunman attempted to assassinate President Trump at the White House Correspondents’ Dinner on Saturday evening.

Arsonists targeted Nigel Farage by pushing a firebomb through the letterbox of his home, the Reform Party leader has revealed. The Mail has more. Farage, 62, said the petrol bomb fortunately burnt out before causing any significant damage during the incident last year. He has labelled the event as an “outright arson attempt”. Farage recalled how the attack, which came at the start of 2025, occurred while he was not inside the property – with the politician discovering the damage only when he opened his front door. Police have investigated, but as yet no suspects have been identified.

For a liberal democracy with an educated population, we’re in a curious position: everybody is talking about something nobody knows anything about! I’m referring to digital ID and the fact the Government hasn’t put its plans in writing. As a result, most of the discussion is highly speculative: a mixture of hopes – ‘it’s nothing to worry about’ – and fears – ‘it’s a digital prison’. Yet the digital ID consultation, which runs until May 5th, contains significant pieces of information which, along with insights from experts giving evidence to the Home Affairs Parliamentary Committee, forms a clear picture of the Government’s intentions.

President Trump has signed an executive order to create retirement accounts for tens of millions of workers who don’t currently have access to a 401(k) or another workplace plan. “I promised to make the same types of retirement accounts enjoyed by federal employees available to all Americans, and that’s what we’re doing. It only seemed fair,” he said during the signing ceremony in the Oval Office. Low-income earners without an individual retirement account (IRA) through their employer will receive a yearly federal matching contribution of up to $1,000 each, the president noted.

As Dr. Anthony Fauci’s right-hand man, David Morens, was charged this week with conspiracy and destruction of federal records in the COVID-19 cover-up, another scandal over the vaccine was unfolding on Capitol Hill. According to a new Senate report and congressional testimony on Wednesday, Biden administration health officials deliberately ignored warning signs of possible serious reactions to the COVID-19 vaccine, including heart attacks, strokes, Bell’s palsy and sudden cardiac death. Within three months of the vaccines being rolled out, in March 2021, red flags were fluttering out of the weekly data dumps from doctors and patients reporting health problems after the shots, according to internal emails and meeting notes

Cousin Marriage Ban Could Soon Hit the US 16 replies
Posted by ConservativeYankee 4/30/2026 4:09:14 PM Post Reply
Rep. Keith Self has introduced legislation that would effectively outlaw cousin marriages by denying federal recognition and benefits to such unions. “Cousin marriage—which is permitted under Sharia—is fundamentally incompatible with American culture and values. It should not be allowed anywhere in our country,” the Texas Republican told The Daily Signal. “The vast majority of states have already banned this third‑world practice. It’s time for Congress to finish the job and enact a nationwide prohibition.” Marriage between close family members is legal, with few or no restrictions, in 18 states and the District of Columbia. Self argues that blood‑related marriages are common in certain ethnic and cultural groups, with rates reaching

Do you ever wonder why so many Blue states refuse to hand over their voter rolls to the federal government? After all, there is a federal law that requires certain measures to ensure ballot integrity, passed in the wake of the 2000 Florida debacle. It requires, among other things, that states clean their voter rolls of ineligible voters. But these states refuse to do that, and they refuse to show that they aren't breaking federal law. Of course, every sentient person knows exactly why they do both of those things: they cheat, and want to make it as hard as possible to detect the cheating, and almost impossible to audit elections

New York City Mayor Zohran Mamdani said Wednesday that if he had a one-on-one with King Charles III, he'd suggest the British monarch return a crown jewel to India. "I would probably encourage him to return the Koh-i-Noor," Mamdani said, referring to a 105.6-carat gem that the East India Company took from a deposed Indian leader in 1849 as a condition of a peace agreement. The Koh-i-Noor, one of the world's most famous diamonds, is set in the Crown of Queen Elizabeth the Queen Mother, in the Tower of London.

We’re in the eighth week of the Iran waropens in a new tab, and things are starting to heat up even though there’s not kinetic action. What do I mean by heating up? The Iranian government has ceased to exist. We don’t know, and the Iranians don’t know who holds power. There is the Islamic Revolutionary Guard. There is the theocracy, there is the elected people in Parliament, and there is a regular military. And those four groups operate in schizophrenic fashion. By the same token, sometimes they give off signals that they would like to negotiate because that is predicated on popular resistance.

Defense attorneys claimed that Allen, 31, was not prepared to carry out a mass shooting in the room where Trump, first lady Melania, and most of the top members of the administration were in attendance, because he had a pump-action shotgun, his team wrote in papers Wednesday. “Mr. Allen has no criminal history — not even prior arrests, which alone would rebut the presumption of detention,”
Mental Health Awareness Is Backfiring:
New Science Shows How ‘Helpful’ Campaigns
Are Manufacturing Illness

Posted by Hazymac 5/1/2026 10:15:48 AM Post Reply
For decades, the mental health industry and its allies in media, government, and education have operated on a simple assumption: the more mental health awareness we spread, through campaigns, school programs, social media, and public service announcements, the better. Raise awareness, reduce stigma, encourage help-seeking, and mental health will surely improve. New evidence shows the opposite is happening. Well-intentioned awareness efforts are actively backfiring, manufacturing distress, inflating diagnoses, and turning normal human emotions into chronic “disorders.” The shocking result is that these campaigns are turning mentally fit people into self-diagnosed mentally ill patients, with symptoms effectively “contracted” from the awareness messages themselves.
