Sefton: sefton at cutjibnewsletter.com | Dozens of Masked Terror Supporters Storm Columbia "University's" Library as Actual Students Attempt to Study for ExamsWe need MEGA -- Make Education Great Again. Columbia "University" has axed 180 "researchers," mostly doing "studies" designed to make arguments for left-wing causes, following Trump's freezing of federal funds. John Sexton spotlights this Very Sad Story from the New York Times about the quality "research" that will now go unfunded: Tamara Sussman, a researcher in psychiatry at Columbia, had a federal grant canceled in March for research that examined the consequences of structural racism on substance use risk in Puerto Rican adolescents. The research assistant that she had recently hired was among those let go. "This is a really hard time for anyone who wants to do research, but particularly for people who are starting out," Dr. Sussman said Tuesday. "It is very disheartening to see the wheels of science kind of grinding to a halt in certain ways."Linda McMahon to Harvard University: Drop dead. Education Secretary Linda McMahon is telling Harvard University that it should no longer ask for grant funding, as "none will be provided," in a letter to University President Alan Garber. McMahon's scathing letter called out the supposedly elite university for for becoming embroiled in plagiarism scandals, needing remedial math, and engaging in "ugly racism." She also slammed the school for hiring far-left mayors, Bill de Blasio of New York City and Lori Lightfoot of Chicago, saying, "This is like hiring the captain of the Titanic to teach navigation to future captains of the sea." "Harvard University has made a mockery of this country's higher education system. It has invited foreign students, who engage in violent behavior and show contempt for the United States of America, to its campus," McMahon wrote. "In every way, Harvard has failed to abide by its legal obligations, its ethical and fiduciary duties, its transparency responsibilities. and any semblance of academic rigor. It had scrapped standardized testing requirements and a normalized grading system. This year Harvard was forced to adopt an embarrassing 'remedial math' program for undergraduates. Why is it, we ask, that Harvard has to teach simple and basic mathematics, when it is supposedly so hard to get into this 'acclaimed university?' Who is getting in under such a low standard when others, with fabulous grades and a great understanding of the highest levels of mathematics, are being rejected?" McMahon made clear to Harvard that the federal government was willing to keep federal funding if the institution was committed to complying with federal law, protect students, and end its racial preferences by finally abiding by the Supreme Court's decision to end affirmative action. Harvard would need to return to a meritocratic system for admissions and hiring, end "unlawful programs that promote crude identity stereotypes," and comply with law enforcement, including with the Department of Homeland Security. Doing so, McMahon wrote, would "advance the best interests of Harvard University, so it can reclaim its status a respected educational institution." "Given these and other concerning allegations, this letter is to inform you that Harvard should no longer seek GRANTS from the federal government, since none will be provided," she said. "Harvard will cease to be a publicly funded institution and can instead operate as a privately-funded institution, drawing on its colossal endowment, and raising money from its large base of wealthy alumni."

According to federal judges, if any of these students are here on a visa, they cannot have their visa revoked because this is "merely exercising their rights under the First Amendment."
Sure the immigration statute says just a statement by the Secretary of State, that their activities affect foreign relations, is all that's necessary, the judge-kings have illegally re-written the statute to require--not just criminal charges--but a criminal conviction, before the visa can be revoked.

Private universities should never receive public funding for anything under any circumstances. Doing so takes money out of the pockets of ordinary Americans, many of whom could not afford college of any sort, let alone gain admission to private universities, to give it to comparatively wealthy institutions. Let them fundraise from their graduates or otherwise earn their own funding.

As I've repeatedly asked, ( not really expecting an answer. It's more of a lament as question) "At this point why would anyone who is Jewish send their kid to Columbia or Harvard? . If I had a kid who was a junior in high school I'd be checking out schools which had NO anti semetic incidents and find about their academic rating and offerings. I visited an institution of higher learning today and walked around. I think they had previously had pro Palestinian encampments but there was no violence as far as I know . I passed a nice looking young Jewish guy whom I assume was a student and who was wearing a yarmulke. I smiled at him and he gave me a smile back, and I thought to myself as I passed him, " I hope to God you haven't been targeted for your faith while studying here."

"Dozens of masked anti-Israel protesters" - Isn't this redundant? If there are masked protesters, aren't they all anti-Israel? Whatever they're against -whether it's taxes, pro-life politicians, spending cuts, whatever- it seems the 1 unifying thing about masked protesters is they all hate Jews.

The National Guard marched aimlessly about the area chasing/being chased alterately for a while without much point until they hit a fenced area that kinda surrounded them. This built up for a while, then they marched thru the crowd up a small rise and there was a surge in the crowd on one flank and behind which led to the troops on that side turning and firing a volley.

Evening, people of the Ace World,
My power was out for six hours today thanks to an explosive thunderstorm with quite a bit of wind. At 9:30 I got back from my errands, flicked the light switch, and nada. The local power company at first promised power would be back on by 11:30 am, then by midnight (!) ("tomorrow at 12 am" I hope meant *this* midnight). At 3:30 pm I'm sitting at my open door reading, and reached up to flick the light switch, not really expecting anything, but -- POWER! HAHAHAHA! The worst of it, of course, is not knowing when the outage will end. Posted by: Wolfus Aurelius, Dreaming of Elsewhere at May 07, 2025 06:14 PM (omVj0) 169
You know why they put those stupid side-saber bits on the blade?
Well the main reason was "this looks KEWL!!!! HE LOOKS BADASS!" which, he didn't. But the other reason is "there's no guard on a light saber, and even if there was, the blade would just go right through it." Which is true. you could just slide your blade down the other one and into the hand of your foe. So retconning superfans came up with the "sticky lightsaber" theory in which the blades tend to stick making it not possible to slide down your opponent's saber. Kind of like how they explained away how a parsec is not a measurement of time. Posted by: Christopher R Taylor at May 07, 2025 06:14 PM (2VST1) 170

He kills them, but they don't stop. then other animals join in. He steps over a log, but its a gator like animal and when he shoots down he falls into the resulting pit and injures his leg. He realizes that the animals don't stop because nothings wounded, cries out in pain or gives a hint something is wrong. He gets to his ship and finds in the final run he has chopped up his ship with stray shots, has no fuel and holes in the hull. A rescue ship finds him a year later, in a nice stockade with a bow and arrow. The weapon is being used to hammer in the stockade logs. Posted by: Oldcat at May 07, 2025 06:14 PM (8avO+) 171

My power was out for six hours today thanks to an explosive thunderstorm with quite a bit of wind. At 9:30 I got back from my errands, flicked the light switch, and nada. The local power company at first promised power would be back on by 11:30 am, then by midnight (!) ("tomorrow at 12 am" I hope meant *this* midnight). At 3:30 pm I'm sitting at my open door reading, and reached up to flick the light switch, not really expecting anything, but -- POWER! HAHAHAHA!
The worst of it, of course, is not knowing when the outage will end. Posted by: Wolfus Aurelius, Dreaming of Elsewhere at May 07, 2025 06:14 PM (omVj0) I always pop on some lights when the power is out so I know when it ends. Posted by: Oldcat at May 07, 2025 06:17 PM (8avO+) 185

A rescue ship finds him a year later, in a nice stockade with a bow and arrow. The weapon is being used to hammer in the stockade logs.
I read a story about a jet that got sent back in time to WWI somehow and figured he'd show the Bosch how they did it 1970s style. But the biplanes had a low heat signature so the missiles wouldn't lock on. And they were made of cloth so the guns tended not to hit much. And he moved so fast he had a hard time even getting a bead on anything. I like that kind of sci fi "not like you figured" storyline but I'm not sure its 100% plausible or would work out that way.

You have to space out so your swings dont interfere and lop each others arms of. This means facing a Roman there's 2 or three dudes ready, one to parry your swing and the other to stab you in your unguarded body or leg. Then relax and wait for you to fall over or attack again.

I liked how Obi Wan used it in the first movie. He'd whip it out, turn it on, take off the opponent's arm, turn it off and put it away in one move. You barely even saw what happened. That's the way to use something that dangerous.
Amen. They built up to that duel between him and Vader; that first time Vader turned his on; evil red; totally sh*t just got real moment. They cheapened so much in the follow up movies, i was actually tired of having Jedi main characters because you knew there was doing to be several scenes of acrobatics and karate kicks. One of the reasons I didn't mind rogue one, although it had more than its fair share of stupid sh*t, i did like having spies and special forces characters rather than Jedi.
