There's an easier, and more successful way to play this: stop the federal funding. And since we Jews apparently have all the money in the world anyway, we can take it elsewhere. Fuck Harvard.
Good. They have a $50b + endowment they can tap into. Or they could fire Claudine Gay and get back $900k. Remember her? She's still working there. The OG of DEI hires.
Apart from Harvard's bigotry, DEI hiring, cheating/plagiarism problems and admissions scandals, I heard the cafeteria food is a solid 7/10.
Harvard will never tap into their endowment. The dividends and interest will be plenty to last them until the apocalypse, even if it's controlled by their klepto brokerage firms.
In reference to the Island the elite and rich have put themselves in, I think DeSantis' move to send illegals to Martha's Vineyard was genius. It was an eye opening event for many everyday Anericans who had previously been oblivious to the privilege we had granted to our upper class.
I have heard David Brooks speak before in the Twenty-teens. He definitely struck me as someone who was a spokes-person for institutional power/elites. The article you discuss authored by him is absurd. I guess you could say, like Walter, I find it obscene.
When Matt was reading from the David Brooks piece, I had this picture of Marie Antoinette reading it from her balcony to try to encourage a counter-revolution to the Jacobins and Robespierre.
Only if Harvard says that the covid shot both prevents you from getting covid and stops you from spreading it. Wait!!! They did say that!! Just like ma boy Rachel.
If you take money from Caesar, expect Caesar to want something for it 😉. Screw Harvard, it grows parasitic dreck elites. Screw Trump, almost his entire cabinet are incompetent fools with only a "skill" in grifting the money systems. Come to think about it, that's about the only skillset Trump has. Oh yeah, bad acting is his other skillset. I've come to the conclusion that the economy is done for and all I can hope for is hope for is that someone who knows things keeps us out of War with Iran.
Of course, Trump is and idiot and a real estate crook, but did he really enter government to make money? He had money, he wanted power (not sure he was even focused enough for that). Of course, like all recent administrations Trump's is corrupt (but as Twain (?) said "Always vote against the incumbent. It takes the newly elected a while to learn how to steal the money" and "politicians should be changed early and often, like babies' diapers and for the same reason". The US was/is desperate for change, and change will be fought tooth and nail by the privileged who play the system. USAID is a great example. "America has never stopped being great!" is the Establishment motto; it is great for them.
Nancy Pelosi's insider trading has made her one of the richest in government. John Kerry was outraged that as Climate Czar he was accused of using a private jet to race all over the world. "I don't even have a private jet! That's absurd. It's my wife's." Hillary's brother Tony owns rights to the gold mines in Haiti, and as Secretary of State Hillary allowed Bill to run all over the work (much to "American Democracies!" like Putin's bank in Russia) oligarchs giving Bill and Hillary $300k to $700K for speeches (which quickly dried up when she stepped down). The Clinton's Laureate University scheme was even better than Trump's University (they used taxpayer monies for their scheme; Trump traded on his NIL). Joe Biden trashed Scott Ritter, "expert" head of weapon inspectors in Iraq who correctly concluded there were no weapons of mass destruction there and no need for war, Biden noting "this is above your paygrade." "We make the decisions here, and that's the reason we get to ride in the limousines, and you don't!" (and of course all of Congress later pretended they were against the Iraq War). The idea that anyone can single out Trump as a grifter is absurd, and our protected Establishment class is brazen in their corruptions (in the past they would have insulated themselves and families, but no longer seem to trust their 'friends'?) Trump was impeached for pointing out Biden corruption (and for briefly holding up Congress's offensive weapons shipments to Ukraine), but no one in Congress is ever held accountable for their perfidy and illegalities (although Schiff did get censured, then was promoted to Senator. ) It is a huge bipartisan problem, though the most egregious examples happen with the party in power.
The Establishment has made Trump accountable for law-breaking that only applies to Trump.
Harvard should have been cut off soon after they continued their discrimination in admissions. It's not a surprise that serial cheats, bigoted admissions processes and DEI hires all agree on the Jews.
It’s not just cracking down on some college weenies out marching. They foster the specter of hate to the Jewish people. It’s about the blatant violation of federal law concerning the rights of minorities.
The defense I’m hearing is important research goes on there, so don’t cut the funding. This presupposes I guess that “important research” can’t happen anywhere else.
Tax the rich. Plug the loop holes and tax the corporations. Arrest people for tax evasion and tax fraud. If a university is run by a corporation, tax them. Tax the churches. No monopolies, no PE firms. No more citizens united. Dismantle the military industrial complex. Close 2/3 of the unnecessary military bases we have worldwide. Stop spending billions to interfere in other countries affairs.
$37 trillion in debt (that they admit), millions of illegal immigrants roaming free (or not roaming free), and Harvard University is what the administration is concerned about? Just cut the funding.
Got to fight battles on different fronts at different times. Taking on Harvard is going to battle with one of the sacred beasts of the left. Sets the stage for other more important battles to come.
Is there an Article 2 section 8 of the Constitution? When did he violate “due process”? How do you know that Trump does things “randomly”? I agree he makes a lot of people uncomfortable, but he does that on purpose, not “randomly.” If it was random, the themes would not be consistent.
Obama OFFICIALLY did away with due process. He was sued by Chris Hedges and other for doing away with habeas corpus and indefinitely imprisoning undesirables ("terrorists"/"domestic terrorists". Chelsea Manning was a typical example; imprisoned in July 2010 (claimed torture and solitary confinement) until her court-marshal, arraigned in February 2012 for embarrassing the Establishment/ military along with Wikileaks; her crime "did not represent significant consequences to foreign policy" according to Hillary. Obama commuted her sentence after 7 years, taking place after he left office.) Obama imprisoned more whistleblowers than all previous presidents combined. John Kiriakou gave a good description of the "due process" in his case. Thomas Drake, an NSA whistleblower, was so mistreated that Edward Snowden used a different, more effective approach. Obama also gave no due process to the al Awlaky family (including an 8 year old and a 16 year old), three American citizens who were killed by drones/raids between 2010 and 2017. "We tortured some folks." And we killed some folks.
January 6th was just another example that the Feds can punish people without due process.
Lack of due process? Due process, by its very nature, is variable. Example: an illegal alien has very limited due process rights, compared to a us citizen.
There's an easier, and more successful way to play this: stop the federal funding. And since we Jews apparently have all the money in the world anyway, we can take it elsewhere. Fuck Harvard.
100%. Do away with the tax exempt status, tax universities as they are for the most part bloated disasters with diminishing ROI's.
Either way, they can't have it both ways. From my simple view - receipt of public funds = public university with federal funds coming with strings.
Plus the Gates & Soros can easily pick up the slack including USAID
And stop with the taxpayer-guaranteed student loans.
And the pompous ass it rode in on.

Harvard pulls in $50-70 BILLION a year. Why are they still getting ANYTHING from the government?! They're a fricking hedge fund.
NGO hedge fund!
When Matt was reading from the David Brooks piece, I had this picture of Marie Antoinette reading it from her balcony to try to encourage a counter-revolution to the Jacobins and Robespierre.
Harvard again as a topic? I'm beginning to believe Harvard is the new Rachel Madcow!

You mean, after you yell “ fuck em’ all” that’s all you got? No cherished dear leader in the wings? Nothing?
That $! billion is OUR money. Harvard is one of the last places I want to spend my money on.
It is insane that Harvard has received any federal money for anything.
And it is also insane that the reason for cancelling the federal funding is because of a failure to crack down on anti-Israel protesters.
It's clear that Trump struck a Faustian bargain with AIPAC.
Harvard should have been cut off soon after they continued their discrimination in admissions. It's not a surprise that serial cheats, bigoted admissions processes and DEI hires all agree on the Jews.
It’s not just cracking down on some college weenies out marching. They foster the specter of hate to the Jewish people. It’s about the blatant violation of federal law concerning the rights of minorities.
It is utter nonsense that Harvard is an anti-jewish institution.
It is also nonsense to accuse those horrified by Israel's demolition of Gaza as being anti-semitic or hateful or "bad" people.

These universities need to be self sufficient for the most part. The donors of these big i y league schools don’t need our tax money.

Matt, please elaborate on Trump’s “rule breaking” which disturbs you. Why does he need to follow “rules”? Or are you talking about laws? Which ones?
Lack of due process comes to mind.
Article 2, Section 8 gives Congress the power of tariff. Not the President.
Randomly renaming Gulf of Mexico, threatening to take over Canada and Greenland doesn’t break any rules, just obnoxious.
Anyway, he’s preferable to the side that lost…

Really? Where is that written? In such matters, the Constitution refers to persons, not citizens.
its looking like congress delegated tarifs to executive, no?
Sure did. Like the German Enabling Act of 1933, but hopefully without as horrendous an outcome.
I should have wrote “Article 1”, oops!
It’s Article 1, sorry! Good catch.
I do hope we devote a couple of minutes (11, or so) to Women In Space. It was ---- huge.
Yay
