The Morning Report — 1/3/24

Good morning, kids. As many of you had rightly pointed out yesterday, Claudine Gay might have resigned her post as president of Harvard, but she's not going anywhere. Not only is she not going anywhere, but here's something to make your covfefe come out your nose:

She won’t be leading the Crimson, but green shouldn’t be a problem.
Outgoing Harvard President Claudine Gay will still likely earn nearly $900,000 a year despite being forced to resign her position as the school’s top administrator.
Political Science professor Gay — who stepped down amid a tempest of allegations she did not do enough to combat antisemitism and academic plagiarism Tuesday — will now return to a position on the Cambridge, Mass., school’s faculty.
Prior to being named president just six months ago, Gay earned $879,079 as a Faculty of Arts and Sciences Dean in 2021 and $824,068 in 2020, according to records published by the university. Her new position was not specified Tuesday, but she is expected to receive a salary comparable with what she previously received — if not higher.
It was also unclear how much of her presidential salary of roughly $1 million Gay would be entitled to after only serving in the post for six months. Her predecessor, Lawrence Bacow, pulled in $1.3 million annually before his departure, according to the Harvard Crimson.
Alan M. Garber, who currently serves as provost and chief academic officer, will serve as interim president until the school selects a new chief, officials said Tuesday.

Insult meet injury. Meanwhile, this Alan Garber has a bit of 'splainin' to do too:

Harvard University’s Provost and Interim President Dr. Alan Garber has made millions from sitting on pharmaceutical company boards during his time with the school. Garber made more than $2.7 million from board seats with pharmaceutical firms Exelixis, Inc. and Vertex Pharmaceuticals since becoming Harvard provost in 2011, the Harvard Crimson reported in 2019, citing company filings with the Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC). Both firms confirmed to the outlet Garber received compensation without performing any additional duties beyond his board memberships.

Meh, is that a tempest in a Teapot Dome? For sure, he's not a diversity hire. He's a legitimate MD and considering he graduated in the late 70s early 80s timeframe, likely knows his stuff. Then again, Anthony Fauci graduated years before him and set up shop with the government, and arguably guilty of crimes against humanity for helping to both create and unleash the Chinese COVID plague and then covering up his crimes in a bid to save his skin as well as help the globalists lay the groundwork to sabotage the 2020 election. As for Garber, a cursory look at his record and just the fact that he is where he is proves his own leftist-in-good-standing bona fides. No way he could've risen up the ladder at Harvard were he not a true believer.

That said, he is interim for a reason: there is no way that Harvard is going to hire anyone who is not superficially identical to Claudine Gay: Black and female. If they can find one who's also a crippled, obese, Muslim, transexual lesbian midget, even better. Maybe if they hired Carol Swain, who is black, female and one of the authors Gay shamelessly ripped off, that might make up for it. But, of course, the idea is for Harvard – like Gay and every other Leftist who commits a crime – to circle the wagons and blame the victims.

It's both a blessing and a curse that she was forced to step aside. Curse in that anyone with eyes to see knows that along with the litany of proof of both her lack of ethics and lack of real-world qualifications to run what was once considered the nation's premier university (let alone clean the blackboard for Miss Crabtree), the root cause of why she was hired in the first place, mirror universe MLK Jr. that strives for color of skin over content of character, is an abject failure at best and a cancer on society at worst.

It's a blessing (for them) because every crackpot leftist, racialist, grievance-mongering scumbag is crawling out of the woodwork to denounce those who exposed her as the real racists and bigots. I don't need to quote any of the Ibram X. Krements and their bilious, spittle-flecked bullshit straight out of Jive Kampf. You can quote that shit in your sleep. Whether the protestations fall on more receptive than deaf ears is the question.

But I digress, as is my wont to do. On top of all of this, let's not forget that the exposure of the plagiarism and inventing shit out of whole cloth that constitutes the majority of her work, the volume of which is wafer-thin, only happened after her 100% genuine enthusiasm for the annihilation of the Jews was exposed in Congress. The chutzpocrisy of her, and the other two stooges from U-Penn and MIT, using the First Amendment to declare allowing their universities' Hamas boosting "Einsatz-groupies" the right to their opinion when conservative non-leftists are hounded, threatened, censored and even fired from their posts, was just astonishing to behold.

That alone was shitcanning-worthy, and while at most it received a yawn, a few billionaire donors to their credit were disgusted enough to take back some very hefty donations. As I had been saying since this whole thing broke, while I find it interesting that so many libs I know were shocked to see the rabid Jew-hate on campuses all over the country seemingly come from out of nowhere, they were completely blind to the aforementioned hounding of non-leftists and conservatives. In fact, they were cheering it. The anti-semitism, horrible as it is, is merely a symptom of the rot that has been creeping slowly, then all at once, through academia and indeed every segment of our society for nigh on six decades and even longer.

Claudine Gay in and of herself isn't the problem. She's merely a symptom of a much deeper, darker and deadlier disease that we as a society are dying from:

Claudine Gay is a mediocre scholar—having authored 11 insight-less papers and no books—and hardly a superstar of the Ivy League constellation. But she comes from a privileged background and was elevated for advancing progressive orthodoxy while checking the right intersectional boxes. Her ascent thus epitomizes the illiberal takeover of higher education. She is the apotheosis of an anti-intellectual movement that values DEI, identity, and activism over truth-seeking, merit, and education.

This illiberal takeover goes beyond what conservatives have criticized for decades: hippies invading the faculty lounge at Berkeley. It manifests in the shifting and narrowing of the range of permissible views, such that everyone on campus walks on eggshells and is unable to discuss certain ideas. University officials placate, facilitate, and even foment mobs that can’t be reasoned with, while everyone else keeps their heads down so as not to be caught in the cancellation crossfire.

The system those students and officials have created is designed to prefer political commissars over rigorous scholars, and it took a giant leap forward last year when Harvard picked Gay as its next leader and trumpeted her status as the first African American and second woman to hold the post. Gay now makes history again, this time for serving the shortest tenure—barely half a year—beating out Lawrence Summers, whose time at Harvard’s helm was cut short in 2006 after his “off-the-record” comments about the dearth of women in science and engineering were deemed politically incorrect.

Gay was previously the dean of the Faculty of Arts and Sciences, through which she made a name for herself—not for educational initiatives, but for deepening identitarian structures. For example, she shut down the research lab of brilliant young (and black) economist Roland Fryer, now my Manhattan Institute colleague, after he produced empirical work on policing that contradicted the progressive narrative. In 2020, Harvard’s alumni magazine breathlessly reported that Gay had announced “a series of initiatives to address racial and ethnic equality—including faculty appointments and the addition of an associate dean of diversity, inclusion, and belonging” despite Harvard already having an entire office dedicated to “equity, diversity, inclusion, and belonging.”

Ironically, these efforts at making students feel welcome have backfired. In its most recent rankings, the Foundation for Individual Rights and Expression named Harvard the worst school in the country for free speech—the only one earning an “abysmal” rating. . .

. . . It doesn’t take long to destroy reputations built over decades and centuries. The question now is whether Harvard and its peers are willing to “do the work” to restore their tarnished stature. A month ago, celebrated Harvard professor Steven Pinker laid out a five-point plan to accomplish just that. Given the lack of contrition in Gay’s resignation letter and her willingness to blame her situation on a racist witch hunt—both points supported by the Harvard Corporation’s parallel statement—I’m not holding my breath.

Speaking of that letter, after being forced to step aside as a result of mountains of irrefutable evidence of plagiarism what does she do? Hands in a resignation letter that itself she copied from someone else!

At first glance, you might think she's just flipping the bird to everyone. But is she really that clever? I don't think it's clever at all. In fact I don't think she gives two shits that she plagiarized her own resignation letter because I think she too believes the corrosive, cancerous Big Lie that she's a victim and therefore she's actually entitled to do things that are not only wrong but beyond the pale in a civil society. She didn't Burn-Loot-Murder anyone and then ride the coattails of the ACLU and SPLC mafia and use "victim of an unjust society" defense, like so many of the Trayvons, Gentle Giants and Freddie Grays of this world. That is the Sharptons, Jacksons, and Farrakkkans who use their corpses to beat us into submission.

And that's because the poison her brain is pickled in, that she swims in and the she was chosen to spread to every student on that campus has as its base element that American society and culture are illegitimate and any non-minority is literally irredeemably and genetically pre-disposed to be racists, bigots and slavemasters intent on keeping her and every other minority in chains.

This is another aspect of the horrific phrase "by any means necessary." When you believe the bromide that you are a victim, then anything goes in redressing your supposed oppression; whether it's robbing someone at gunpoint or faking your qualifications to run a university.

Beyond that, the hideous nature of affirmative action, now known as D-E-I, is that by giving undeserving individuals college scholarships and other advantages when they are far from prepared, you set them up for failure. So many black youths who leave high school with C's or even D's and enter college find themselves dropping out after their first year, if not their first semester. Anyway, that used to be the case. For all we know, thanks to the lowering or even complete abandonment of standards, they get that sheepskin four years later just for showing up. If that. Because these days, if you fail any student who isn't white, Jewish or Asian, you better have a very good reason, if you as the responsible professor are allowed to have one in the first place.

Psaki-psircling back to that first point about the dropouts, you can imagine what all that false hope and esteem building bullshit does to someone who suddenly can't cope. You get bitter and then believe the tropes of an unfair, unjust racist society where minorities cannot and will never get ahead. Not in a white man's world. Lather, rinse, repeat. And it's all intentional.

Recall the Bakke case from the late 70s. Ultimately Allan Bakke did become a very successful doctor while the black student Patrick Chavis who took his seat . . .

In 1997 Chavis had his license suspended by the Medical Board of California, who spoke harshly of his “inability to perform some of the most basic duties required of a physician.” As McGowan later wrote, the board condemned Chavis’ “poor impulse control and sensitivity to patients’ pain.” A doctor who had worked with Chavis had given the board’s investigators “a tape recording of patients screaming horrifically, with Chavis responding, ‘Don’t talk to the doctor while he’s working,’ and ‘Liar, liar, pants on fire.’”

Chavis was also found guilty of gross neglect and incompetence in his treatment of three liposuction patients, two who somehow escaped bleeding to death (one had lost 70 percent of her blood) and one who wasn’t as fortunate. Tammaria Cotton, the woman who died, complained during her liposuction of sudden difficulty in breathing, to which Chavis responded, “If you can talk, you can breathe.” Chavis did not stay to administer emergency medical treatment to any of the three. Boston Globe columnist Jeff Jacoby discovered that Chavis’ sole training in liposuction had been “a four-day course at the Liposuction Institute of Beverly Hills — only half of which he completed.”
had his medical license revoked and ultimately wound up shot dead in LA while being carjacked.

UPDATE: One final thought. Claudine Gay is not an outlier. It's a fair bet that an alarmingly large swathe of academia at every level has likely done the same things Gay has to gain their credentials, especially in any field of study that is not the hard sciences, i.e. liberal arts. So long as they are as committed to brainwashing students, then they have nothing to fear, unless their big mouths and social media accounts put them beyond the range of effective wagon-circling.

18 Gay — who stepped down amid a tempest of allegations she did not do enough to combat antisemitism and academic plagiarism Tuesday — will now return to a position on the Cambridge, Mass., school’s faculty.
Prior to being named president just six months ago, Gay earned $879,079 as a Faculty of Arts and Sciences Dean in 2021 and $824,068 in 2020, according to records published by the university. Her new position was not specified Tuesday, but she is expected to receive a salary comparable with what she previously received — if not higher.

34 Gay's resignation is meaningless. It won't change anything.

Yes, it's fun to get a scalp. But Harvard will remain a cesspool of antisemitism, anti-Americanism, and crazy leftism. None of that will change in the slightest.

The next president of Harvard will be chosen based on "diversity" and not academic or other merit (as an aside, university presidents shouldn't be chosen for their academics, but for their ability to run a school. I doubt very many true academic types can actually run anything).

Why do I mention Northwestern? Well I happened to read a screed by a “distinguished” law prof there named Andrew Koppelman. The title is (NOT from the Bee…: “There’s nothing undemocratic about barring Trump from the ballot”

Here’s a nugget (direct quote because I don’t wanna plagiarize): “The problem of how to manage Trump’s supporters is like the problem of how to prevent China from invading Taiwan, or to keep Hamas from again committing mass murder and rape.”

At least he characterized Hamas correctly… but this is the definition of: Tell me you want to kill Trump supporters without telling me

58 Authoritarianism is contagious. Moreover, as society and its standards of social conduct and respect continue to degenerate, those at the lower level of police absorb the contempt for the citizenry and sense of frustration seeping down from their "superiors." The lack of respect they feel feeds a vicious cycle. Just like the Capitol Police turned on the J6 protestors with a weirdly disproportionate and ferocious rage, so will the police on the rest of us should wider "disorder and unrest" break out. They will feel entitled, duty-bound and psychologically compelled.

65 There will be no lasting damage to Harvard or the other Ivies.

It is no secret that they are no longer academically rigorous and haven't been for a long time. It's no secret that they're hotbeds of anti-American Communist subversion, and have been since Buckley wrote God and Man at Yale. And it's no secret that they despise the Jews and have since before the Jews started founding universities that would actually admit bright Jewish kids.

None of that has mattered heretofore, and it won't going forward, because the Ivy League schools aren't schools as much as social clubs. They are the places where our elite class of human botflies send their maggots to pass through their larval stage chugging white claw and cock, and then break out of their chrysalises with their little parchments. And those parchments are cultural signifiers that a given anthropophage is "one of us," and can be trusted to be perpetuate the status quo.

They are a critical component of our ruling class's power structure, and unless and until some other set of institutions develop to perform their function, they will remain firmly in place at the "top" of "academia."

Police pensions and scumbag politicos' paychecks will be the last things to go under. Your mayor / governor / city councillor will turn off your utilities long before they'll ever stop paying themselves or bribing the gunmen who protect them.

The violence that did occur was instigated and carried out by Capitol Cops, FBI plants and confederates, and Antifa stooges in MAGA hats. 44,000 hours of surveillance tapes prove this whole thing was a set-up with Pelosi a co-conspirator.

The American President sets economic and energy policies. Trump unleashed American hydrocarbon energy, deregulated us, cut our taxes(with congress), tightened the money supply, and taxed our enemies... and was battled by his party's Speaker of the House.

He almost singlehandedly did this against all powers that be. Yes, one man will need help, but he has a lifetime of recorded successes on his own. Bonus: he has the will of the People to do it.

I saw an interview yesterday with New York Jets QB Aaron Rogers where Rogers straight called Fauci a criminal. If the Left's grasp on power is rooted in controlling the narrative, I'd say they may be in for bit more pushback than in the past.

164 Second, the proposal publicly stated that such risky research would be done at American scientist Ralph Baric’s high-containment BSL-3 lab at the University of North Carolina. But Peter Daszak, CEO of EcoHealth, revealed in his private comments that once the project is funded, he would let the WIV conduct some of the risky research, despite knowing the WIV is only a BSL-2 lab and has “fewer safety precautions than required in the U.S.”

1. So it was always known the COVID was transmitted via air. So 1000% of the contact rules, 6 foot rules, hand sanitizer use, and simple mask WOULD NOT WORK.
2. The WIV was NOT ready or able to handle air born viri.
3. All of the work was illegal.

167 The appeal of the left is that if you join the club, you get massive benefits, like getting promoted over people more competent. Gay is a moron. Without DEI, she would not have a PhD, she would never have gotten into Harvard, much less taught there. For underperformers, losers, and the mentally defective, the left promises membership in the club. Gay plagiarizes because when she goes to the well of her knowledge and wisdom, nothing is there. The left loves her because they control her. Without the left, Gay would have a midlevel job in a small company, or be a bureaucrat in city government.

Remember when it was discovered that the CIA paid 6 of its analysts to change their analysis that the virus came from a lab and instead agreed it was from nature?

The Clinton Global Health Initiative is involved with Fauci and USAID.

In addition to being a pervert Jeffrey Epstein befriended and funded a large number of scientists and buddied up with other people interested in funding scientists like Bill Gates who just happens to have an unusual interest in mRNA vaccines and is of course heavily tied to the WEF.

USAID is a CIA front. They provided and continue to provide much of the funding.

More or less it is a return to the past. Before the meritocratic push after WWII, Ivies were viewed as regional hothouses and finishing schools for elites and not nearly as desirable--hence all the hoary Ivy League jokes. But, the Baby Boom and the explosion of government spending after WWII led the Ivies to become the desire of every credentialist to obtain. Higher demand and the same number of seats for admittance meant that the Ivies could be choosy and government cheese bulked up the endowments far beyond what was actually necessary.

"Almost all the listeners correctly identified the races of the white speakers and the younger black speaker, but more than 90 percent of listeners misidentified the black great-grandfather as white. The authors conclude that young black people have adopted “a much more ethnically identifiable dialect association over recent decades,” partly because standardized English has become associated with “white speech.”

False.

====================
I think he does. His argument s they shouldn't move it to Greenbelt. Instead, he says it should stay in DC, but he is advocating for a "spectacular" new HQ.

Maybe other the PDT no politician understands this concept.
The EPA, OSHA, and myriad of regulations baked in the cost of a good directly effect the consumer price. The gallon of Diesel needed to plow a field or run a Walmart truck is in the PRICE paid for at the cash register by the American consumer.

After 7 years of Trump's tweets you still don't see what he's doing? The Congress has already funded the new building. It's a done deal. The money has been allocated. The only discussion that has been going on for the last year is where should the building be located.

Supporters of the FBI are suggesting moving it to a Virginia suburb of green grass, rolling hills and low crime. Trump is saying that they should stay in the lawless dump of DC they help create.

The FBI is going to frame and harass people until it is destroyed and the only way that is going to happen is when Congress stops funding them. Until then make their lives as miserable as possible.

Yes, and as I noted Congress already approved the funding of a new FBI building. That fight was lost thanks to Congress. They are getting a new building. And as long as Congress keeps funding the FBI it will also remain.

The only argument right now is where the new building will be located. You can interpret Trump's comment that the building should remain

324 De-colonize the UN!

NEW YORK (LifeSiteNews) — During a United Nations (UN) General Assembly debate at the end of December, a delegate from the United States berated delegates from traditional countries due to their lack of support for pro-LGBT terms that she has been pushing in UN resolutions.
...
During the General Assembly debate, an Egyptian representative called the United States’ determination to push LGBT issues an “undemocratic imposition.” Similarly, a delegate from Nigeria described the American position as “exhausting” and pointed out that “sexual orientation and gender identity” are terms that do not appear in any international treaties.

Another delegate from Djibouti argued the left-wing terms have “no accepted legal or scientific meaning.” Similarly, representatives from Belarus, Malaysia, Mali, Mauritania, Niger, and Yemen emphasized that the LGBT agenda contradicts religious and cultural values that shouldn’t be labeled as “internationally agreed” or “consensual.”

She had the misfortune to be cast as the lead in a movie series that destroyed its own market, and she is the embodiment of it whether that is fair or not. I doubt she every becomes a big star. Star Wars and Lucasfilm destroys everything they touch, and she is no exception.

The crazy part is to realize how refined and actually improved white students have had to become to compete with this. It's very jarring to realize how that side has jumped far, far ahead of the "historic black woman" crowd based entirely on the need to find basic employment. Not even competing for unattainable high-level jobs. Just employment.

Right. He also had some skill in his background (a hard-boiled cop) and got help from the outside where he could.

Imagine the same movie where he never bled, never had to run away to save his own ass to try again and he was a senior manager at a retail carpet chain with nothing in his background to indicate that he had any of those kinds of skills.

Then he'd be a Mary Sue.

371 Does this mean that the AP has been engaging in a lot of plagiarism?

To quote an old aphorism--"that which is good is not original and that which is original is not good." That pretty much sums up AP.

Hell, the 2020 movie "Love and Monsters" is a great hero's journey. Classic.

At least she's learned something--if somewhat (very) late.
A friend of mine was told by her doctor to not take any more vax/boosters (she's had four altogether.) She now has COVID again for the third time and is blaming her doc for telling her not to get another jab. She's going to get it as soon as she's better.

375 Hmm, blast at a Iran "Soleimani" memorial service reportedly kills over 100.

Let's spin the wheel to see who Iran will blame.

376 269 Anyone have a good breakdown of the implications of the True The Vote win in GA?

All I see is basically copies of their press release saying they won.

But there were 12 plaintiff's witnesses called, testimony under oath admissible in other courts.
And they lost a civil trial, meaning not even 51%, not even "more likely than not."

Seems to me that's bigger than it's being reported?

You have it in reverse, True the Vote was the defendant and won. Marc Elias and the DOJ were suing True the Vote for damages.

Posted by: whig at January 03, 2024 09:56 AM (8IKKJ)

377 No, I understood that TTV was the defendant.

I think the fact they won is maybe bigger then it looks.

This was no ragtag, nobodies representing the plaintiff-- it was their top guys who ran their successful 2020 strategy, not just in beating Trump but also all the pre-election challenges.

379 Time was when I’d believe that American Thinker article on the police. Now? I am convinced cops are cops because at heart, they hate every citizen that isn’t a cop. They are in it for the power and the pensions. So if it all goes south I have no doubt on what side they will be on.

380 Good morning, all, and thanks, J.J.

The University of Rochester School of Nursing, The Roots of Intersectionality: The origin of intersectionality is attributed to the work of civil rights scholar and activist, Kimberlé Crenshaw, professor of law at Colombia University and University of California Los Angeles (UCLA).

Several decades ago, the Executive Branch of the government, managed largely by White personnel, often military at that time & at its very highest & intermediate echelons, began being confronted about the exclusion of Blacks from certain positions. From that, a DEI system of sorts, then unspoken and undefined on paper, came about.

Becoming less physical production oriented & more "desk" bound operations, it became easier for federal managers to 'ride,' discipline & remove non-managerial, non-unique Whites; ignore or override veterans' preference requirements; 'name select' for certain positions; establish rather pointless positions open to only certain applicants; give awards for 'good jobs' - for actually doing one's assigned duties - and so on.

The federal unions and associations also became stronger by far from changes to 'civil service.'

381 Yes, once a centerpiece of competitive & merit based hiring, the reformation of civil service into jobs programs 'more responsive to the personnel needs of executives and managers' helped create a great deal of the current havoc & discrimination. The mismanagement & poor judgment in many instances spread from government, through academia, businesses, and our everyday life.

KY's link to Bill Ackman's reaction on X is appreciated. It was refreshing & sincere. But note that the proposed, new constitution by Penn, signed by more than 1,200 faculty from many universities, didn't have a great deal of signatures by current & active faculty and/or many faculty also choose to sign anonymously.

BTW, Penn is huge on diversity & inclusion, particularly in the realm of medicine. It will not wane for the foreseeable future.

383 " when conservative non-leftists are hounded, threatened, censored and even fired from their posts, "

Which actually is not happening at MIT. Free speech is actually rebounding there. After a huge furor over the cancellation of a speech by a geophysics professor because he wrote an op-ed proposing that meritocracy be used instead of DEI the Institute adopted a new free speech policy that's pretty close to the Chicago principles. And it's actually being enforced.

384 Regarding 18 U.S.C. § 1512(c) ...
IF any major political figure can and should be tried and convicted of it, Certainly it should be Nancy Pelosi who tore up an official document,, in the halls of congress, with the entire House, Senate, Supreme Court and the President in attendance, while being live televised to the entire world. The document was the "State of the Union" REQUIRED by the Constitution to be "delivered to Congress". The speech by the President is merely secondary, the document itself IS the "State of the Union Report" Her actions fit the EXACT reading of 18 U.S.C. § 1512(c), none of Trumps actions do.

385 as for the "Confusing Gold Object"....it's clearly a nipple cover. similar to those recently made famous by Janet Jackson(in a totally rehearsed and planned Wardrobe malfunction), Mario Coumo, several Kardashians and other "Influencers"

386 The DEI Movement at our colleges and universities is like syphilis in the human body. When the chancre sores (people like Claudine Gay) go away, some people mistakenly believe they're cured of syphilis, but nope, you still have the disease and the long-term consequences are dire. Harvard needs to rid itself of hundreds, if not thousands, of faculty and administrators to fix itself.
