Columbia President Minouche Shafik Resigns After Months of Investigation Over Her Coddling of "Student" "Protesters"
That's a reference to professors' texts that suggested that Jews were able to call attention to pro-Hamas' protesters' crimes because of all of their Jewish Money.
Embattled Columbia University president Minouche Shafik suddenly resigned Wednesday and is escaping back to her home country after leading the elite institution for less than a year that was marked by constant -- and sometimes destructive -- anti-Israel protests. Shafik announced she would be "stepping down" from the Ivy League in a letter to the student body and blamed the "period of turmoil" for her shocking departure. "This period has taken a considerable toll on my family, as it has for others in our community," Shafik wrote. "Over the summer, I have been able to reflect and have decided that my moving on at this point would best enable Columbia to traverse the challenges ahead. "I am making this announcement now so that new leadership can be in place before the new term begins." In her letter, the scholar revealed she is leaving the prestigious school to return to the United Kingdom -- where she spent most of her career -- for a gig with its foreign secretary as a chair tasked with reviewing the government's approach to international development. ...
The community, however, is not convinced the change in leadership will have any effect on stopping last year's chaos from trickling into the fall semester. "University leadership has been promising that combating antisemitism is a priority, but many students are arriving in just a few weeks, and I don't have confidence that the campus situation this fall is going to look any different than it did in the spring," Matthew Waxman, a law professor and member of the school's task force on antisemitism, told The Post. Waxman was shocked by the resignation and said it was too soon to tell whether it was the right move for the school. The bigger question, he continued, is whether Columbia is going to crack down on new rules aimed at mitigating antisemitism. "We're going to have a big test in just a few weeks," he said. "And if they're not enforced, then we'll know that the university just isn't serious." ... She was accused of "gross negligence" while testifying before Congress after refusing to say whether the phrase "From the river to the sea, Palestine will be free" should be considered antisemitic.
...
Shafik's resignation comes just one week after three university deans resigned from Columbia following the exposure of their "very troubling" text chain that disparaged Israeli and Jewish students' fears of rising anti-Semitism on campus.
The deans at the center of the Columbia University texting scandal scoffed that Jewish students concerned about the eruption of anti-Semitism on campus are "coming from a place of privilege" and suggested those students have more institutional support than their peers because of their supposed wealth, according to new messages reviewed by the Washington Free Beacon. The messages, obtained by the House Committee on Education and the Workforce and released on Tuesday, show that three of the deans--Susan Chang-Kim, Matthew Patashnick, and Cristen Kromm--engaged in a more extensive pattern of disparagement than has been previously reported and shed new light on how Columbia officials reacted in real-time to a panel on anti-Semitism held during the university's alumni weekend. "I'm going to throw up," Chang-Kim, Columbia's vice dean and chief administrative officer, wrote to her colleagues roughly an hour into the panel. The text's timing aligns with remarks from an audience member and daughter of a Holocaust survivor, Orly Mishan, who described how her own daughter, a Columbia sophomore, "was hiding in plain sight" on campus after the Oct. 7 attacks. "Amazing what $$$$ can do," replied Kromm, the dean of undergraduate student life. The new messages suggest that the administrators, who were placed on leave pending a university investigation after a Free Beacon report revealed snippets of their text exchanges, see concerns about anti-Semitism as manifestations of entitlement. "They will have their own dorm soon," Patashnick, the associate dean for student and family support, said of Jewish students, after the head of Columbia Hillel, Brian Cohen, said that many Jews felt more comfortable spending time at the Kraft Center he runs than in their own dormitories following the Oct. 7 attacks. "Comes from such a place of privilege," Chang-Kim wrote two minutes later. "Trying to be open minded to understand but the doors are closing." The deans also ridiculed Cohen's efforts to provide support services, including psychological counseling, to Jewish and Israeli students following Oct. 7, implying that they were receiving special treatment denied to other groups. "Not all heroes wear capes," Patashnick texted sarcastically. "If only every identity community had these resources and support," Kromm replied. In 2024, Columbia hosted separate graduation events for black, Asian, Native American, LGBT, and "Latinx" students. Jews were one of the only minority groups not to host a ceremony of their own. ... Other text messages obtained by the Free Beacon from the same panel show the four deans dismissing claims of anti-Semitism. At one point during the panel, Chang-Kim texted Sorett to say the panel "is difficult to listen to but I'm trying to keep an open mind to learn about this point of view." Sorett responded, "Yup." Kromm, meanwhile, used vomit emojis--"🤢🤮"--to reference an op-ed from Columbia campus rabbi Yonah Hain that raised concerns about the "normalization of Hamas" on campus. ... The new texts obtained by the committee, meanwhile, show Kromm and Chang echoed an assessment from Patashnick that Cohen took "full advantage of this moment" for its "huge fundraising potential."
The Islamization and Third Worldization of the West is now at a galloping pace.

As with the bald lesbian at Haaaahvaaaad, it goes without saying, putting some dizzy bint in the President's chair doesn't make them President, any more than having an Alzheimer patient in the White House makes him one.

>>And also why do all these troubled Ivy League universities have women presidents?
Because it's essentially mandatory that all University Presidents shall be women, especially after the Larry Summers incident.
You see the same thing in business.
In my company, anytime a mid to upper level management position opens up, boom, woman is hired to fill that position.

American academia is a poisoned well. They've spent the last 50 years constantly reinforcing the radicalism within the ranks. I'd be surprised if even the typical janitor at a college isn't a glass-eyed prog automaton.
So this automaton fell on her sword. The next one will, too - eventually. But the replacement *will* be another automaton. It's all they have in academia now.

Hey, "Minouche," if you'd handled this in a ballsier fashion you would have taken a considerable toll on the rioters rather than your family.
"Over the summer, I have been able to reflect and have decided that my moving on at this point would best enable Columbia to traverse the challenges ahead.
So instead of dealing definitively with the problem, you're scurrying back to the UK. Got it.

We're *right* behind them.
It's inevitable. Our culture and civilization have been degraded to the point where they are unworthy of defense. Something unworthy of defense will not have millions of men lined up to defend it. It *will* fall, and be replaced with something that is worthy of defense.
Sadly, I think that thing will be Islam - but I hold out hope that it might be something else.

If she and the Columbia board of directors (or regents or whatever) have done their jobs, then yes - the next guy is in the wings and ready to take over.
Succession planning is the duty of *any* executive. The "bus factor"* on executives (and some other roles, like principal engineers) is too high to swim naked.
(the "bus factor" is somewhat dark, and is along the lines of, "if he got hit by a bus on his way home from work today, what would we do? Would we be okay?" If the "bus factor" is high, then the answer is "we'd be fucked" and you have people you've groomed to take over just in case, to keep continuity)

Here's a hypothetical question for the Horde.
In the days before the 19th, women could not legally vote in most of the US (some western states excepted).
But that does not mean that they could not hold political office. So could a woman have run for and been elected to office in a jurisdiction where women did not have the franchise?

For the permanent replacement, yes. There *will* be an interim replacement who was prepared to take it over.
Assuming, of course, that they have done their jobs. The interim doesn't always become the new boss, but he often does.

One of my favorite commie invocations is the one where they 'acknowledge the previous owners of the land' (who had no concept of private property) but they don't bother paying a single fcking penny of rent to the descendants, let alone consider selling or better yet giving the land back to them.

Oh, I know they'll name an "interim" president. But these "searches," as they're known, take a long time to find, hire, and install the real successor.

Had dinner with friends last night. One, a Virginian, said a friend in her old hometown (Richmond area) told her that an illegal alien from Venezuela had attacked his family in their backyard with a butcher knife. The husband/father was able to subdue the guy, and as his wife called the cops, he said to the illegal, "WHY are you doing this? What the hell??" and the illegal, who did speak some English, said:
"We were told that in exchange for free transportation into the US, this is what we are supposed to do. Create chaos and do crimes." Random crimes and attacks.
Another tidbit: a retired Border Patrol guy was talking with a current one, and the current BP guy asked him, "Given your experience, what do you estimate is the current number of illegals in the US?" and the retired BP said, "We're hearing about 20-30 million."
Current BP guy says, "You're off by a factor of two." (!!)

But she goes farther, saying that our side should stop letting them ask questions, at all, until they answer some of ours about why the misrepresented the news in the past. Insist they won't "move on" until we get an answer about, eg, the laptop, or Russian Collusion.

I like some kinds of gambling, and chalk it up as entertainment expense. I enjoy blackjack and roulette. It's usually a waste of money, of course, but it's fun.
I had a coworker who was an odd kind of degenerate gambler. He and his pals would go to Las Vegas for the weekend once a month (they were in LA, so not a big trip). He'd take his gambling budget of a couple of grand, put it on all black on the roulette table, and see what happened. If it hit, he'd gamble all night with the casino's money. If it missed, he'd go sleep in the van while his buddies gambled all night.
Sort of the essence of gambling, really. Like the guys who buy loads of scratch tickets and then just hand them back to the clerk to get scanned without any of the ceremony of actually scratching them.

There was always some truth in it. When I went to college, in the 70s, I started wearing a coat and tie to class. It was fun being told I was a "conformist" for being the only one in the room doing so.
Chesterton said that when he had completed his own personal heresy, he was surprised to realize it was orthodoxy. And that the best thing about that title for his early book was that it was controversial. That was 1908.

Yup. Blackjack Standard Strategy does work. All-in, I am well up on blackjack. One night was particularly good, which was a damn good thing because I was dragged into a game by my VP (I was walking by, and he snagged me to join him and some of the other big wheels at the blackjack table) and it was a $100 minimum bet table. Too rich for my blood, but I couldn't really say no. I was prepared - unhappy, but resigned - to lose $500 just to keep up appearances with the bosses, but kept winning.
Haven't played since. I used up my gambling luck that night.

Counting vs. Standard Strategy.
Counting requires calculating the running odds based on what's out and what isn't. Standard Strategy is less reliable but far easier because it isn't a time series. You look at what's out, right now, and escalate or back off accordingly. Standard Strategy won't raise the odds beyond 1:1 (it actually doesn't quite raise them *to* 1:1, though it gets close) but it evens the playing field dramatically.

I don't count cards. It's indeed pointless in games with multiple decks where they only go 2/3 into the shoe. I mean learning the proper plays in terms of hits, stands, doubles, splits, surrender, etc. You can get very close to even odds if you play perfect. The casino makes it's money on casual players who don't really know what they're doing. I've seen doubles on 12s against power cards. Nuts.

I think there's more than one thing going on here. It's also the case that women tend to favor other women in hiring, candidate selection, voting etc. They are more tribal than men in this regard. I see this in judicial voting in my neck of the woods. Female judicial candidates typically do better than the male ones (and it happens regardless of party affiliation); it's been that way several cycles now. It's because more women will vote for a woman just because she's a woman.

Nah, this guy was by himself. Was doing a tour in an RV. His father was a champion backgammon player, I believe. Kid grew up with mathematics and gambling.
But it was wild to see some podunk casino recognize him and not let him in.
Then he'd get into one and his swings could be anywhere from winning $75K to losing $75K.

Bush "Miss Me Yet?" Billboard Appears Near Highway
If you drive along I-35 in Wyoming, Minnesota, you might see a billboard with a picture of George W. Bush and the words, "Miss Me Yet?"
Bob Collins of Minnesota Public Radio says that the billboard is real, not Photoshopped, and he has been trying to chase down who is behind it.
As of Tuesday morning, no luck. While many may miss President Bush, he seems to be enjoying his life outside of the spotlight, where he doesn't have to deal with load on the shoulders of the current president.

When we first started playing it was not uncommon to find single deck games. Those were beautiful, because sometimes the end of a deck would be bursting with face cards, which you would know by keeping the count, and you could make a killing by betting the ranch.
Then the casinos started using four decks, and shuffling long before the end, so you never encountered big swings in deck composition.

Buddy of mine had had a few good sessions, built his bankroll up to like $3500.
Goes one weekend and loses $500. Gets back to his car, turns it on, sees the clock and realizes it's only like 3 in the afternoon.
Goes back in and promptly loses the remaining $3K.

Counting requires calculating the running odds based on what's out and what isn't. Standard Strategy is less reliable but far easier because it isn't a time series. You look at what's out, right now, and escalate or back off accordingly. Standard Strategy won't raise the odds beyond 1:1 (it actually doesn't quite raise them *to* 1:1, though it gets close) but it evens the playing field dramatically.
Posted by: Joe Mannix (Not a cop!) at August 15, 2024 03:03 PM (HnUIn)

Correct. Although as I mentioned above, it seems I can increase the odds beyond 1:1 because I can leave when I want to. I can't remember the last time I left without being up at least a little. And last time, I left up $600.

Go in with an absolute max stakehold (the max amount to lose) and stick with it. That amount must not be high enough so that losing it makes any dent in your life. It's basically entertainment money. Also pick an amount that if you're up, you walk away for good.

Actually, with practice it's easy with any number of decks. The difference is that with more decks wild excursions in deck composition become increasingly unlikely.
When I was counting I could carry on a conversation while I kept the count. When I got tired, I'd go watch, e.g., a poker game, and I'd have the count there too, although it was totally irrelevant. It was just force of habit to count every card as it came up, and I couldn't stop.

I hope they come here then!
It gets tiring waiting on somebody to get their $5 to break even on the $5 they spent buying the scratch-offs.

------------------
Craps are your best bet. Never approach a crap table until after 12 PM. Its a money management game as well. Wear a sports coat. Left pocket is your buy in, right pocket is your winnings. Your working capital is on the table. Never bet your right pocket.

I'm in SC, and nope, no kiosks that I've seen.

Same here.
Every big hit, I'd shove a couple blacks and greens into my pocket and keep playing. Once i got bored or went bust, I'd walk away, put my hand in my pocket, and say "oh, that's right, yay!"
