Gay is not completely bulletproof. I’ve never heard if Gay is gay. Not that there’s anything wrong with that. Gay being gay would be the trifecta, like Karine Jean-Pierre. Black, female, gay. Unfireable.
If Gay were gay, she’d be completely untouchable. Gay may not be gay so there is some vulnerability there.
Soetoro is protecting Gay, and he may be gay, but Gay apparently is not gay.
I don’t think Harvard is very gay either. If those elitists ever smiled anyways.
Soetoro who once wrote that he made love to men every day... "in the imagination". LOL. That Soetoro? Same guy who lost two chef's to mysterious drownings? Coincidence?
My bad. Executive Chef of the Clinton's found dead in the New Mexico mountains June 21, 2015. Autopsy was death due to drowning. Still a mighty strange coincidence...
12/27/23: I think that it splendidly demonstrates the Heisenberg-Reed Principle of Rhetorical Sarcaz-Mo Physics: "Once a sarcastic verbal projectile ignites and thus gains momentum, it attains perpetual motion (until the character limit kicks in)."
Gay may be gay, but I haven’t heard if she is gay. So we don’t know if Gay is a gay gay. Although with the mess she has created for herself, she is probably not gay or gay.
FWIW: Gay is married to Christopher Afendulis, an information systems analyst at Stanford University's Department of Health Research and Policy. They have a son who was born in 2006.
Even if Gay is gay, she still needs to be fired. Better yet, send her to Gaza City as a good will embassador. She can tell hamas how much the univershity stands behind them.
My only requirement for engaging in discussion with anyone is that they hold conservative values, which *I* define as smallest possible govt, strictest adherence to the Bill of Rights and the Constitution which includes an absolute right to PRIVACY as long as all activities are with consenting adult humans. That some conservatives weave a religious (?) morality clause into the mix is disappointing.
Ah yes, I think that was the handle of the person whose comments were just SO DISSAPPOINTINGLY UGLY regarding gays. He clearly has an issue. Thanks for the head's up as to 'Bill's previous handle. I'll steer clear. I wonder if there is a way to block certain commenters? ugh.
No, not if you believe in Freedom of Speech. We can ignore and not read those comments we find objectionable, but I have found that engaging a person who I find has a repugnant view of certain things helpful in the long game. You never know, having an actual debate with someone who does not agree with your views just may change their view in some way.
Well, some may think that I'm being soft on this, but I plan to continue appreciating the many excellent comments Bill/Tony makes. He has had many comments for a long time, and with many of them I was fully in sync with him. His anti-Semitic comments were very disturbing. And I didn't particularly enjoy the time he recommended that I see a psychiatrist and told me "Don't contact me again". He similarly attacked Annademo a couple weeks ago and also told her "Don't contact me again".
But as people, we each are a package of strengths and weaknesses. Bill/Tony is clearly very intelligent (possibly brilliant) and observant, and I trust that eventually these same qualities will cause him to reevaluate some things. He has received feedback from this community of commenters, and I trust he will give it some quiet consideration. We don't know what pressures individuals are under, or what situations may be driving them. My thought towards him, is that I wish him peace, and reaffirm that he has many valuable comments to share.
Rumor is our pal Tony N is AKA as Bill Ayers. Say it aint so, Bill- if true "that's some intelligence for a lying coward" takes on a whole new meaning-let's hear your take on the aspirational phrase: From the River to the
When my brother was in high school in the early-to-mid 80s, gay meant stupid at that time. He and his friends would always say, That's so gay instead of that's so stupid.

Mehitabel The Cat is (was) known for her battle cry, "Tojours Gay! Toujours Gay!" Back in the mists of the 1920s, had he known the future, Don Marquis would not have written that newspaper column. Or he would have written more about Warty Bliggins, instead. We are, however, left with a pretty good come-back: Mehitable The Cat showed up finally again in the freezing alleyways of New York without her kat-cum-coyote half breed babies and responded to Archie-The-Cockroach's inquiry, "Kittens? What kittens.?"
Harvard's best days are well behind them, as is the case for so many institutions in the West. But as Gibbon noted about the fall of the Roman Empire, it's not that it fell, but that it took so long to do so. As you point out, Harvard has copious amounts of cash, pipelines of it coming from the Feds, and from donors, so they will be able to withstand the incompetence and corruption of the Gays and others for decades, maybe generations. As far as her making up her academic papers, etc., the fraud doesn't matter, just like the black professor at Florida State was able to invent whole reams of data about whites killing blacks for years, with no one conducting even a cursory check on any of it. He did get eventually fired but probably received a lucrative payout and will probably end up at... Harvard, or some other elite school.
I don't see her getting fired or even demoted because of her fraud, because it's so common in academia. Do you remember Tucker Carlson quoting from Jill Biden's dissertation for her "doctorate" of education? Barely literate. Her's was typical, not atypical and there are hundreds of thousands of these frauds and idiots everywhere in high places in government, business, and academia, and they will cover for their own.
Excellent observation: "Besides, if Harvard bans plagiarism, how are all those affirmative action doctoral colleges get their credentials?"
In another arena, watch out for affirmative action air traffic controllers. I believe one killed Frank Sinatra's mother when her jet was vectored straigh into a mountain immeiately after takoff from Palm Spings. And, now, I see their advertising is targeting diversity in their recent hiring. When will our society be free of this deadly fetish? A prerequsite for this freedom is honest judges. Good luck with that.
My son in law is an air traffic controller. DEI hiring has been going on for a while. Used to be that if you couldn't do the work, even after years of training, you were simply let go. Not so anymore. The big crash is coming. Wait for it......
As someone who flew for recreation and a hobby I can tell you it is a bomb waiting to go off. Putting people like Pete Butthead in charge of the FAA is like having the position vacant. Congressional oversight will do nothing until another a/c crashes near Reagan National.
Love her except she is running for U.S. senate in AZ now that the gov was stolen from her. It would be very bad form for her to spit in the face of anyone who votes for her for that seat in the primary.
With any luck she'd be like a bit more smooth 'Margarie Taylor Greene' version in the senate calling out the liars and corrup-tocrats. Although I also think MTG has been grotesquely lied about to corrupt her actual image.
Maybe MTG, Boebert and Kari can start the conservative counter to the vile jihidist 'squad'.
They would need a good name. Maybe the Right Squad!
And the pilots, I think there were at least 2 airlines pushing it. Medical schools are pushing it hard too. almost all of them. It is going to suck when my current doctors retire.
Danny, a retired friend of mine reviews college papers as part of group of academics he is associated with. He told me many are so hard to read and so poorly written it appears they were written by uninterested high schoolers. Its a huge problem today so when I hear teachers and public school administrators as well as union officials preach about raising the pay of teachers I wonder what planet they came from.
No, I don’t see her being fired either. In the unlikely event that Harvard dumps her they should make reparations by replacing her with the black woman from whose writings she plagiarized. But I doubt Dr. Swain would lower herself to work there.
True Life Example: The KTLA cameras were in Orange County after the county declared b.k. and laid off a buncha bureaucrats. One of those sows pushed her way to the front and cried into the teevee camera: "I've got a Ph.D! What am I supposed to do!" Real Ph.D material there...
A lifetime predisposed to worship of Akademia......its inmates so inward-turning they reside comfortably inside, looking outside through their own rectumaas. We shall be be leveled by our new religion called Ka-wan-zaaa.....with our edict-giving Pope-boy name of Tony Danzaaa, dogma sung in holy matrimony by that castratti named Mario Lanzaaaa........homo erectus my son. it's your dime: you figger it out......
Obama was named the editor of Harvard's Law Review - prestigious and sought after student assignment. He was unknown and undistinguished. He wrote less than any previous editor candidate and did less than any editor before or since.
NewsMax had an interesting report in 2008 that Obama got into Harvard and was funded by Khalid Al-Mansour, a Black Muslim and Black Nationalist who was a “mentor” to the founders of the Black Panther party at the time the party was founded in the early 1960s.
Al-Mansour was reported to be an advisor to “one of the world’s richest men,” Saudi prince Alwaleed bin Talal.
In 1929, Yale Professor Wallace Notestein is credited with the following definition for research: “If you copy from one book, that’s plagiarism; if you copy from many books, that’s research.”
Ah, the Ivies. Gay is obviously a master of research.
It’s a palindrome and I’m afraid I plagiarized it 😱 from a gentleman named Louis Sachar. Stanley is his protagonist in “Holes,” which is excellent reading.
True about one plagiarism event--- when I was in college--- back in the late 60s--- at a state university--- ONE act of plagiarism and you were "out"- tossed to the curb. This is just another indication of the slow but steady decay of our society and culture. And this woman has not been tossed. If the Prez of Haaavaaad had been a white male, he would already be gone.
When I was contemplating my Doctoral topic my advisors kept pounding the table that the topic didn't have to be award winning, it had to be degree awarding. That's why so many degrees are about nothing.... In that arena of thought your dissertation is a muddied compellation of research. Lot's a reworded writing going on...
Serendipitously, I started checking out your poll first, and I find I am guaranteed a belly laugh, a dilemma, both, or more. Today was no different! Many thanks Don for brightening my days!
Today's column is another hard-hitting zinger--Paragraph 1 about Gaza City, Paragraph 2 about the UN, and paragraphs 4-6 about the Brown University (professor of the Holocaust!!!!!) started it off with a bang. I also liked the line: "Obama's backing her damages his brand too. Brilliant!"
But the line that resonated most with me is this: "The damage (to Harvard) came quicker and deeper than anyone could imagine." This is another example of how our enemy is self-destructing. We may feel overwhelmed by the clean-up we need to do in America, but we also can't foresee the variety of events that may occur in 2024 that may surprise us and really help us.
The Left has built a large structure on a rotten foundation--their ideology is full of false premises and contradictions of reality itself. I guess it was bound to start collapsing after it reached a certain weight.
II Chronicles 20:17 says about one of the battles in the Old Testament: "Ye shall not need to fight in this battle: set yourselves, stand ye still, and see the salvation of the Lord with you, O Judah and Jerusalem: fear not, nor be dismayed; tomorrow go out against them: for the Lord will be with you."
Of course, we need to be very vigorous and persistent in fighting this evil in America right now. But there are more things in operation than just our dedicated efforts. The Left is fighting against reality itself; they have been throwing out principles of right behavior that have developed over millenia of human development. I like our prospects in this battle.
If they try to replace Gay with another affirmative action weakling, that will backfire on them too, because all eyes are on Harvard now, and the new president will face ruthless public scrutiny.
It really may be that this college-presidents-shameful-testimony-before-Congress incident ends up being a genuine earthquake to the whole corrupted academia world.
Gay is toast. But toast is not gay, unless you eat it while drinking Bud Light. Watch out for trans fats.
But seriously, they have no choice but to get rid of her. The problem is as Bill Kunstler pointed out in the last day or so, Harvard may be at risk of getting ruined by lawsuits from people she canceled, including numerous professors who wouldn't recite from the Book of Woke or were refused admission because of identity characteristics rather than academic merit. So Harvard will find a way to get rid of her. Ackman is very sharp, and usually correct. It's a matter of when and how, not if. She's exposed the rancid underbelly of academic politics and is destroying the brand of Harvard and the Ivy League. Destroying the brand means losing lots of money. Dirty little not-so-secret secret: Academia is full of whores. They can recite Chaucer and Cicero, but they're all about the Benjamins. Omer Bartov is a self hating Jew. A commie and a coward. I despise this type of libtard. He throws his own people under the bus to score points with the Commies in academia. Loser.
The fact that Barack Obama sticks up for a serial plagiarist, ethnic mass murder supporter, and intellectual mediocrity is not surprising. He's all about cadre loyalty, everything is politics. A well developed sense of ethics is a hindrance to working in politics, or at America's universities it would seem. If I had to bet, I would say that Marxist wokester Claudine Gay was put in place at Harvard with the help of Obama, which is why he's fighting to keep her there. Have you noticed that most of Obama's pet projects are women. He doesn't like giving power to men. Valerie Jarrett, Susan Rice, and others who still are mucking up America. It's easier to hide the evil agenda behind a woman.
The criminals running the organizations which represent the Palestinian people steal the aid money and fan the flames of hatred. They are not interested in having a state, because that ends their worldwide grifter tour. Billions of dollars from idiots in Europe and North America pour in to these crooks, ostensibly to help the Palestinians. The UN helps with the hateful propaganda that Hamas and the PA spew. The Palestinians never see the money. They see rockets, AK-47's and terror tunnels. Their leaders have billions of dollars, right out in the open. How do you make billions when you are the leader of a political movement? If you need to think about that, I don't know what to tell you.
The Palestinians get paid when they kill a Jew or an American with a terror attack. The Palestinians get paid when they kidnap civilians. They get paid to hurt people.They don't get paid for advancing society. Why is it that Israel could become an advanced postindustrial economy in 7 decades starting from nothing, but all the Palestinians can do is whine? Both are choices. They Palestinians are not stupid. They chose the type of society they want - an apartheid, Sharia law dominated medieval society based on hatred and murder. If you gave them all of Israel, they would turn it back into a nonproductive desert. A lot of the people they killed on October 7 were peaceniks, kibbutzim who worked to help make conditions better for the people who ultimately killed them. The Hamas terrorists knew everything about their targets, because the people from Gaza employed in those locations were scouting for the attack over years. When someone tells you they hate you and they want to kill you, that means they are not your friend, and all the unicorns and kumbayah koolaid will not change that reality. Enough on that.
We have to win in 2024. The country is going down the tubes with obscene lawfare, uncontrolled invasion at the border, and imbecile Commies running the show. Joe Biden just gave all the federal workers a nice big raise. Did you get a big raise this year? That's what I thought.
Interesting observation about Obama working through women. The only male that comes to mind that he supported was Eric Holder. He even used Hillary fairly effectively to do damage.
Agree--Claudine Gay is headed out. So long as she's there, Harvard will have an open wound that won't heal. Of course, if the Harvard Board wants to keep her, that's fine with me--the drip, drip of it will hurt them so badly it will destroy its reputation for a generation, and spread to the rest of Ivy League and all other colleges in the country and bring the dysfunctionalism of DEI to the country's keen attention. That would be a very helpful thing for America. It will attack the central engine of their national Marxist indoctrination system.
The entire Leftist Enterprise, including every one of their perverse and degenerate interest groups, is a Bolshevik operation. Sure, it has been happening under the radar since 1917, but in the Sixties, Tom Hayden, Jane Fonda and Bill Ayers promised everybody a long march thru the institutions. That march is over. The institutions belong to the Bolsheviks. They don't care about losing money or prestige. All they care about is power.
Now they've got the outlandish head of the World Health Org planning and promoting the end of meat, milk and cheese in the human diet--to further promote the evil and grotesque fantasy of global warming with the peak-insult of starvation. Would anyone care for a generous helping of these delicious crickets, worms and grasshoppers?
Bolshevism, Marxist-Leninism, Communism, Leftism--whatever you call it--is Satanism dressed up with every kind of lie and appeal to the best & worst of human nature. Violence, starvation and death are the Bolshevik way of life. Satan hates humanity and his Bolshevik acolytes share his hatred wholeheartedly. They Bolsheviks want the human race weak, sickly, docile and sparse. Claudine effin Gay is a pebble on the Bolshevik freeway
Remember Zero was "placed" at the head of the Harvard Law Review despite no record of publications which would normally be an absolute requirement. His whole educational journey was a case of friends gliding the path without any real effort on his part. For instance, rare is the person who remembers him at Columbia. More a case of who you know than what you know which probably covers many students at the elite colleges.
Thats why his wife Moochie will never run for public office. It would require actual work on her part and she has become a multi- millionaire by never working. Not going to change now either.
While Gay is the problem rest assured there are hundreds in line to take her job that are worse. A university that hides the academic records of the 44th president deeper than the Manhattan Project has lost all credibility. Why did they hide them: Hmm....admission to Harvard Law with low grades? Or was it his place of birth? Harvards actions are of a university and society in decline. Until Pritzger the board and Gay are gone, my Harvard Diploma will be covered with a simple sheet of paper with the word SHAME in big letters. Thank you for another great read.
Gay is not completely bulletproof. I’ve never heard if Gay is gay. Not that there’s anything wrong with that. Gay being gay would be the trifecta, like Karine Jean-Pierre. Black, female, gay. Unfireable.

Harvard’s Gay problem is making many feel gay.
Soetoro who once wrote that he made love to men every day... "in the imagination". LOL. That Soetoro? Same guy who lost two chef's to mysterious drownings? Coincidence?
What was the other one? I'm only familiar with the recent one in Marthas Vinyard.
My bad. Executive Chef of the Clinton's found dead in the New Mexico mountains June 21, 2015. Autopsy was death due to drowning. Still a mighty strange coincidence...
Drowning in the mountains - sure.
Like committing suicide by shooting yourself in the back of the head more than once.
Amazing isnt it? or zipping yourself into a suitcase from the outside after breaking bones to get into the suitcase but it was suicide.
Ah, ok. Yes, well we all know that knowing the Clintons has a very high rate of shortened mortality!
Arkancide.
Yeah--drowning in New Mexico, which is practically a desert state?
drowned in the new mexico mountains? lungs filled with rocks? what?
Oh, OK. Hillary was scared because she had to walk home in the dark, late at night from the lake.
Freud said there were no coincidences
Is drowning contagious? Who knew!
That was so bad as to be good. I bow thrice in awe.

Along with elevating morons to high office.

Excellent, SL. Really rub their noses in their own dodo.
Gag me with a spoon!
That just made me gay.
Sl.. Gay Bashing?
Low hanging fruit!!!
Well said!

You trying to say 'gay' may not be happy, Schlong?-back in the day, Nat told me 'Our hearts were carefree and gay'.😒
Gay may be gay, but I haven’t heard if she is gay. So we don’t know if Gay is a gay gay. Although with the mess she has created for herself, she is probably not gay or gay.
FWIW: Gay is married to Christopher Afendulis, an information systems analyst at Stanford University's Department of Health Research and Policy. They have a son who was born in 2006.
They sound like a fun couple 🥳
They plagiarized their marriage certificate.
Yep, she's gay.
I had a young lady working for me once who was very pissed over what her middle name now meant.
Once when a gay blade did not mean a homosexual party dude.
Even if Gay is gay, she still needs to be fired. Better yet, send her to Gaza City as a good will embassador. She can tell hamas how much the univershity stands behind them.
Any bets on whether she survives the first day?
She can take some aides with her JR
12/27/23: Paul Revere in 2023, at night, on his horse, spreading the alarm:

"One if by Gay, Two if By Bi!"
I see you’ve never watched Seinfeld.
As for the rest, I respectfully disagree.
I'm with you SL.
There was one other commenter on this site whose name I don't remember but he also traded in gay-bashing which I find to be most base.
If you don’t know, Bill was formerly known as Tony N.
Yes, that has been my conclusion too.
Bill/Tony has alot of great insight to offer; but his periodic impulsive attacks detract from it.
Yes, precisely. It is a fatal flaw in my opinion.
My only requirement for engaging in discussion with anyone is that they hold conservative values, which *I* define as smallest possible govt, strictest adherence to the Bill of Rights and the Constitution which includes an absolute right to PRIVACY as long as all activities are with consenting adult humans.

Love her except she is running for U.S. senate in AZ now that the gov was stolen from her. It would be very bad form for her to spit in the face of anyone who votes for her for that seat in the primary.
You, are of course correct. She will be great in the Senate. The candidates with any real Moxie are very few.
With any luck she'd be like a bit more smooth 'Margarie Taylor Greene' version in the senate calling out the liars and corrup-tocrats. Although I also think MTG has been grotesquely lied about to corrupt her actual image.
Maybe MTG, Boebert and Kari can start the conservative counter to the vile jihidist 'squad'.
They would need a good name. Maybe the Right Squad!
Agreed Gail as a senate seat is very desired.

No, I don’t see her being fired either. In the unlikely event that Harvard dumps her they should make reparations by replacing her with the black woman from whose writings she plagiarized. But I doubt Dr. Swain would lower herself to work there.

Fun Facts:
Obama was named the editor of Harvard's Law Review - prestigious and sought after student assignment. He was unknown and undistinguished. He wrote less than any previous editor candidate and did less than any editor before or since.
NewsMax had an interesting report in 2008 that Obama got into Harvard and was funded by Khalid Al-Mansour, a Black Muslim and Black Nationalist who was a “mentor” to the founders of the Black Panther party at the time the party was founded in the early 1960s.
Al-Mansour was reported to be an advisor to “one of the world’s richest men,” Saudi prince Alwaleed bin Talal.
https://www.newsmax.com/KenTimmerman/obama-harvard-/2009/12/14/id/342454/
He is pond scum.
Short and to the point. They all are.
I definitely question Obama's academic qualifications and credentials.
Thanks for referencing this Newsmax article.
If you’ve plagiarized over 40 times you’re unoriginal and stupid. In my day one instance of cheating would get you kicked out.
Still not drinking tranny juice.
In 1929, Yale Professor Wallace Notestein is credited with the following definition for research: “If you copy from one book, that’s plagiarism; if you copy from many books, that’s research.”
Ah, the Ivies. Gay is obviously a master of research.
Stanley Yelnats, is your middle name Otto? That's also the same spelled forward and backwards.
Wow…good eye D
It’s a palindrome and I’m afraid I plagiarized it 😱 from a gentleman named Louis Sachar. Stanley is his protagonist in “Holes,” which is excellent reading.
True about one plagiarism event--- when I was in college--- back in the late 60s--- at a state university--- ONE act of plagiarism and you were "out"- tossed to the curb. This is just another indication of the slow but steady decay of our society and culture. And this woman has not been tossed. If the Prez of Haaavaaad had been a white male, he would already be gone.
When I was contemplating my Doctoral topic my advisors kept pounding the table that the topic didn't have to be award winning, it had to be degree awarding. That's why so many degrees are about nothing.... In that arena of thought your dissertation is a muddied compellation of research. Lot's a reworded writing going on...
Serendipitously, I started checking out your poll first, and I find I am guaranteed a belly laugh, a dilemma, both, or more. Today was no different! Many thanks Don for brightening my days!
Today's column is another hard-hitting zinger--Paragraph 1 about Gaza City, Paragraph 2 about the UN, and paragraphs 4-6 about the Brown University (professor of the Holocaust!!!!!) started it off with a bang. I also liked the line: "Obama's backing her damages his brand too. Brilliant!"
But the line that resonated most with me is this: "The damage (to Harvard) came quicker and deeper than anyone could imagine." This is another example of how our enemy is self-destructing. We may feel overwhelmed by the clean-up we need to do in America, but we also can't foresee the variety of events that may occur in 2024 that may surprise us and really help us.
The Left has built a large structure on a rotten foundation--their ideology is full of false premises and contradictions of reality itself. I guess it was bound to start collapsing after it reached a certain weight.
II Chronicles 20:17 says about one of the battles in the Old Testament: "Ye shall not need to fight in this battle: set yourselves, stand ye still, and see the salvation of the Lord with you, O Judah and Jerusalem: fear not, nor be dismayed; tomorrow go out against them: for the Lord will be with you."
Of course, we need to be very vigorous and persistent in fighting this evil in America right now. But there are more things in operation than just our dedicated efforts. The Left is fighting against reality itself; they have been throwing out principles of right behavior that have developed over millenia of human development. I like our prospects in this battle.
Well put TPG.
POLL: Google has become way too powerful, and - of course - has abused that power. Would love to see them "Mulvaney-ed".
Try https://duckduckgo.com. I quit google months ago. Glad that I did.
Me too - Duck Duck Go here too!
I quit google for duckduckgo also
And I.
Guess that explains it, Gail and Cookie

Ruth Marcus calling Harvard "America's premier university" is like Wille Sutton calling the Federal Reserve, "America's leading ATM."
Runner-up to DR GAY:'NY Democrat Governor Establishes Slavery Reparations Commission Amid $4.3 Billion Budget Shortfall'-the definition of insanity.
If they try to replace Gay with another affirmative action weakling, that will backfire on them too, because all eyes are on Harvard now, and the new president will face ruthless public scrutiny.
It really may be that this college-presidents-shameful-testimony-before-Congress incident ends up being a genuine earthquake to the whole corrupted academia world.
Sincerely hope so. There are several signs that DIE's losing some tentacles.
I think that Harvard is just going to be stuck with Gay and that's not funny!
The MSM will not conduct any such scrutiny so the "great unwashed" will never hear of it.
Gay is toast. But toast is not gay, unless you eat it while drinking Bud Light. Watch out for trans fats.
But seriously, they have no choice but to get rid of her. The problem is as Bill Kunstler pointed out in the last day or so, Harvard may be at risk of getting ruined by lawsuits from people she canceled, including numerous professors who wouldn't recite from the Book of Woke or were refused admission because of identity characteristics rather than academic merit. So Harvard will find a way to get rid of her. Ackman is very sharp, and usually correct. It's a matter of when and how, not if. She's exposed the rancid underbelly of academic politics and is destroying the brand of Harvard and the Ivy League. Destroying the brand means losing lots of money. Dirty little not-so-secret secret: Academia is full of whores. They can recite Chaucer and Cicero, but they're all about the Benjamins. Omer Bartov is a self hating Jew. A commie and a coward. I despise this type of libtard. He throws his own people under the bus to score points with the Commies in academia. Loser.
The fact that Barack Obama sticks up for a serial plagiarist, ethnic mass murder supporter, and intellectual mediocrity is not surprising. He's all about cadre loyalty, everything is politics. A well developed sense of ethics is a hindrance to working in politics, or at America's universities it would seem. If I had to bet, I would say that Marxist wokester Claudine Gay was put in place at Harvard with the help of Obama, which is why he's fighting to keep her there. Have you noticed that most of Obama's pet projects are women. He doesn't like giving power to men. Valerie Jarrett, Susan Rice, and others who still are mucking up America. It's easier to hide the evil agenda behind a woman.
The criminals running the organizations which represent the Palestinian people steal the aid money and fan the flames of hatred. They are not interested in having a state, because that ends their worldwide grifter tour. Billions of dollars from idiots in Europe and North America pour in to these crooks, ostensibly to help the Palestinians. The UN helps with the hateful propaganda that Hamas and the PA spew. The Palestinians never see the money. They see rockets, AK-47's and terror tunnels. Their leaders have billions of dollars, right out in the open. How do you make billions when you are the leader of a political movement? If you need to think about that, I don't know what to tell you.
The Palestinians get paid when they kill a Jew or an American with a terror attack. The Palestinians get paid when they kidnap civilians. They get paid to hurt people.They don't get paid for advancing society. Why is it that Israel could become an advanced postindustrial economy in 7 decades starting from nothing, but all the Palestinians can do is whine? Both are choices. They Palestinians are not stupid. They chose the type of society they want - an apartheid, Sharia law dominated medieval society based on hatred and murder. If you gave them all of Israel, they would turn it back into a nonproductive desert. A lot of the people they killed on October 7 were peaceniks, kibbutzim who worked to help make conditions better for the people who ultimately killed them. The Hamas terrorists knew everything about their targets, because the people from Gaza employed in those locations were scouting for the attack over years. When someone tells you they hate you and they want to kill you, that means they are not your friend, and all the unicorns and kumbayah koolaid will not change that reality. Enough on that.
We have to win in 2024. The country is going down the tubes with obscene lawfare, uncontrolled invasion at the border, and imbecile Commies running the show. Joe Biden just gave all the federal workers a nice big raise. Did you get a big raise this year? That's what I thought.
Trump 2024 ( in case you forgot....)
Well said in every paragraph!
Interesting observation about Obama working through women. The only male that comes to mind that he supported was Eric Holder. He even used Hillary fairly effectively to do damage.
Agree--Claudine Gay is headed out. So long as she's there, Harvard will have an open wound that won't heal. Of course, if the Harvard Board wants to keep her, that's fine with me--the drip, drip of it will hurt them so badly it will destroy its reputation for a generation, and spread to the rest of Ivy League and all other colleges in the country and bring the dysfunctionalism of DEI to the country's keen attention. That would be a very helpful thing for America. It will attack the central engine of their national Marxist indoctrination system.
Nothing but kudos Tanto !!
Beautiful Tanto.
Thanks man.
The entire Leftist Enterprise, including every one of their perverse and degenerate interest groups, is a Bolshevik operation. Sure, it has been happening under the radar since 1917, but in the Sixties, Tom Hayden, Jane Fonda and Bill Ayers promised everybody a long march thru the institutions. That march is over. The institutions belong to the Bolsheviks. They don't care about losing money or prestige. All they care about is power.
Now they've got the outlandish head of the World Health Org planning and promoting the end of meat, milk and cheese in the human diet--to further promote the evil and grotesque fantasy of global warming with the peak-insult of starvation. Would anyone care for a generous helping of these delicious crickets, worms and grasshoppers?
Bolshevism, Marxist-Leninism, Communism, Leftism--whatever you call it--is Satanism dressed up with every kind of lie and appeal to the best & worst of human nature. Violence, starvation and death are the Bolshevik way of life. Satan hates humanity and his Bolshevik acolytes share his hatred wholeheartedly. They Bolsheviks want the human race weak, sickly, docile and sparse. Claudine effin Gay is a pebble on the Bolshevik freeway
Maybe they have read of the plaques of Moses/pharoh.. they expect more of these "food supplies"
Remember Zero was "placed" at the head of the Harvard Law Review despite no record of publications which would normally be an absolute requirement. His whole educational journey was a case of friends gliding the path without any real effort on his part. For instance, rare is the person who remembers him at Columbia. More a case of who you know than what you know which probably covers many students at the elite colleges.
Thats why his wife Moochie will never run for public office. It would require actual work on her part and she has become a multi- millionaire by never working. Not going to change now either.
But the Left media will do most of the campaigning work for her.
True. Must be nice having a personal PR network they don’t have to pay for.
Power corrupts and is an aphrodisiac.
Excellent and so true.
It's all so strange...birth certificate, social security no. But no one cares.
Not who you know but who you blow /VP ?
Have you read "Killing the Mob"? Long history of that successful tactic.
I have not but will add to my list of need reads.
😮
While Gay is the problem rest assured there are hundreds in line to take her job that are worse. A university that hides the academic records of the 44th president deeper than the Manhattan Project has lost all credibility. Why did they hide them: Hmm....admission to Harvard Law with low grades? Or was it his place of birth? Harvards actions are of a university and society in decline. Until Pritzger the board and Gay are gone, my Harvard Diploma will be covered with a simple sheet of paper with the word SHAME in big letters. Thank you for another great read.
Trump supporters also know ‘what a woman is’ - what Ketanji Brown Jackson, another black female did not know. Do you see a trend here?
Of course they know. They just can’t say it because it counters their fake outrage.
