I can’t think of a single thing PDJT might do to Hahvahd that I personally wouldn’t approve of. I could think of several things to do to Hahvahd that he wouldn’t approve of. It’s past time to eliminate the Marxist/Communist influence on American students at all levels.

If he can’t whip a “Republican” Congress to further his wider agenda it’s all for nought.

It is always about congress, and their actions or lack thereof. Otherwise, anything Trump does is temporary. You would think congress would see the success and just do their job of supporting the president but nope, the country club crowd is too busy with individual agendas to do so. Thats why there is a constant ebb and flow of momentum in the GOP. Whoever made up the slogan “never doubt the party’s ability to snatch losing from the jaws of victory” was so correct.

Coulda been his holiday if Kommila had won. X paid tribute to St George-Yesterday was a sacred day on the Democrat cult calendar, the feast of Saint George Floyd, patron saint of fentanyl overdoses, home invasions, armed assaults on pregnant women, and counterfeit bills. He was a drug addicted professional criminal made into a pagan god by leftist wine women. That’s his legacy. He’s garbage.

All those poor researchers who are moaning about the loss of grants should be moaning to the Harvard administration instead and demanding money from that $51 billion endowment to fund their little projects.

Reddog's avatar

Boy is that true. Seems like congress could fix this by just adding a clause to the grants that state that no part of the federal funds can be used for administration or purposes other than direct research. But they don’t. Same could be added for actions that are anti-Semitic. Why is this do hard, unless congress knows the funds are used for other uses.

So someone spends a whole lot of money on their kid to attend Harvard or any other highly regarded school.

The kid comes out in debt if the money was borrowed and is a communist/ socialist/ antisemitic to boot.

I lost my daughter to a local small private college in 2000. The Marxist invaded our schools back in the 1960's. If I remember correctly when Hitler ran them out of Germany in the early 1930s they were invited to Cambridge University. The Marxist portrayed themselves as social scientists. They were a byproduct of industrialization (science) forcing theology out the back door of the schools in Europe in the late 1800's. Yes it's been going on that long.

All the apologists just float right over the overt illegal discrimination Harvard exhibits in hiring and administration (even before admission and antisemitism) as a reason the public fisc should not support it. They really believe that all your taxpayer earned money belongs to them. Where would the public debt be if the US Treasury did not send kabilliions of USTax$ to “private” institutions of all stripes, led by Harvard? This just demonstrates the varied business the US government has no business being in.

And another reason our taxes are so high. The era of politicians using our tax dollars to support their favorite institutions and help get themselves re-elected has to end. No one supports you or I or invests in our success, why then do we invest in an education system that is in it only for the money?

DJT tried to avert the division of our country by insisting that Officer Chauvin did not use excessive force, much less murder. The Hennepin County medical examiner’s office noted ‘fentanyl intoxication’ and ‘recent methamphetamine use’ among conditions in their report. It added that Floyd ‘experienced a cardiopulmonary arrest. My question is: Why would a decorated police officer knowingly strangle a criminal in broad daylight in front of a huge crowd. Intentional? Maybe, if he had caught Floyd sleeping with his wife. The unrest following George Floyd's death resulted in over $2 billion in damage across the Twin Cities, making it the costliest civil disturbance in U.S. history. An extremely expensive way to remind us that black lives matter.

James Wills's avatar

Although Floyd died from several things, including respiratory suppression due to 11ng/ml fentanyl in his blood - probably fatal for you and me, although he was an experienced drug user - heart disease, obesity causing compression of his diaphragm, etc., that knee-on the neck with hands cuffed behind probably should be eliminated as a restraint method. Yes, the trachea is on the FRONT of the neck, not the side, but putting a fat man on his stomach with hands cuffed behind is going to restrict his breathing, just from the mechanics if nothing else.

Is Chauvin guilty of murder? Absolutely not. He applied an approved restraint method on a drugged-up guy and the guy died. What he's guilty of is being white, and BLM BS aside, that's not a crime.

Expand full comment
Playswithneedles's avatar

My understanding is that Chauvin’s knee was not on Floyd’s neck but on his shoulder blade. And Floyd was already having trouble breathing when he was thrashing around in the back of the police car. But you’re right about Chauvin’s real crime - being white, and being a cop.

Like many of the Left's Big Lies (man-made climate change, the 2020 election was fair, etc.), the 'George Floyd was killed by a racist cop' still endures despite overwhelming evidence that he died from ingesting a lethal dose of drugs when he saw that he was going to be arrested from passing counterfeit money. I really doubt that Derrick Chauvin will ever be exonerated and freed, which is an absolute travesty. FTW, FKE, and FJF.

Robert Barnes recently gave a presentation on Chauvin’s history of his police career.

It’s not as glowing as we would like it to be.

However, Chauvin pled guilty to the Federal crimes. So, no Presidential pardon in store for him.

Concerning George Floyd, Barnes argues that Chauvin is Not Guilty, however he has a well documented history of arrest abuses with documented evidence for the majority of his police career.

You can easily find the Viva Frei and Barnes Law video from Sunday, where Barnes goes into detail.

VICKI's avatar

None of those police officers should be in jail when there are movies, an autopsy and stats that prove he died from drugs. Also,it's stated by same that Chauvin had his knee on his shoulder, not his neck, as is approved in police training. Pay close attention to the video. I was sickened by the adulation given to this useless GeoFlo who may have died sitting in his car, from the drugs he ingested. The following chaos tells you something is radically wrong with the thinking as a result of brainwashing.

That 69% Harvard “overhead” is absolute slush. It doesn’t “keep the lights on”, as some of my academic colleagues are wont to blubber and moan. It’s 58% at my state U.

Maybe something like 10% is appropriate for actual grant administration and paying the electricity bill. The vast majority of overhead goes for whatever da fuk a university wants to waste money on, including bloated salaries and bennies for useless figureheads such as DEI deans.

Harvard is populated with hypocritical, spoiled crybullies, who love to dish out their punishment on all who fail to kowtow to their demands but cry and lash out like sniveling, pusillanimous babies when they are called out on their actions. There was a time when Harvard and the rest of its Ivy League confreres produced some of the best and brightest; a time when those people recognized their debt of gratitude to a God who had favored them with intelligence and wisdom, and a nation that supported them and their institutions, but that time is past. The people in charge of such institutions now simply believe that they are entitled to sit atop the rest of their fellow citizens, demanding obeisance merely because of their superior social class and position, but little, if anything else and above all, entirely lacking in that quality known as virtue. They have become, not the best and brightest, but the worst of the worst. If Harvard and the rest of its kind can be personified, it would be in the face of Fauxcahontas Lizzie "Pow Wow Chow" Warren, a smug, self-satisfied, hectoring harridan who rose to the top of that rotten heap by virtue of her ability to lie about her heritage and nothing more. Those in charge of these soi disant bastions of higher education welcome others of their rotten ilk, because like attracts like, so that the institutions they infest like the roaches they are have become fetid, stinking hulks that bear no resemblance, save in their outward appearance to their former selves. They provide nothing of value and to the contrary, now produce students who, like the professors and administration, wallow in hatred of everything that the rest of us in flyover country represent; fear of God, Christian virtue, devotion to faith and family and a patriotic reverence for the Constitution and flag of that nation, under God, for which it stands. Harvard and its "brahmin" denizens are a pox on America. They are the contemporary incarnation of the French aristos, esconced high in their ivory towers, looking down on us sans cullotes, the working class hoi poloi they despise, yet without whom they can not survive because it is we, the "common man" of yore, who produce the substance upon which they feast without the slightest thought of gratitude. Harvard delenda est.
