ACADEMY:
HARVARD PRESIDENT QUITS
USA TODAY:
Harvard President Claudine Gay announced her resignation Tuesday following accusations of plagiarism in her academic work and a grilling by congressional lawmakers in early December over her response to antisemitism on her campus since the start of the Israel-Hamas war.
"This is not a decision I came to easily," Gay wrote in a statement. "But, after consultation with members of the (Harvard) Corporation, it has become clear that it is in the best interests of Harvard for me to resign so that our community can navigate this moment of extraordinary challenge with a focus on the institution rather than any individual."
Gay, Harvard’s first Black president, had only stepped into the role over the summer. But she resigned just six months into her tenure, the shortest of any president in Harvard history.
New York Republican Rep. Elise Stefanik, whose questioning of Gay, University of Pennsylvania President Liz Magill and Massachusetts Institute of Technology President Sally Kornbluth during the December hearing became a viral video on social media, wrote in a statement, "The resignation of Harvard’s antisemitic plagiarist president is long overdue."
TWR: Without attempting to besmirch Dr. Claudine Gay's reputation any more than it has already suffered, the question must be asked if the Harvard Corporation would have pursued a more stringent course of “Due-Diligence” in the pre-employment vetting of their President had Dr. Gay been an older white male…
(…Not that plagiarism by older white males gets treated harshly…Depending who that person is and their politics, plagiarism can lead to the Presidency of the United States.)
Harvard has made itself into an intellectual, ethical, racial, bigoted, biased, political shambles…Because Harvard is focused on things Political, not Educational.
MAJOR HARVARD DONOR HAS MORE TO DO
USA TODAY:
Billionaire Harvard graduate Bill Ackman wasted no time in issuing a public reaction to Harvard President Claudine Gay tendering her resignation on Tuesday, delivering a three-word response to the news that indicates he will not let up on another target in his sights.
Ackman has led calls for Gay, University of Pennsylvania President Liz Magill, and MIT President Sally Kornbluth to "resign in disgrace" ever since their disastrous appearances at a House committee hearing on the rise of antisemitism on college campuses last month, when all three refused to say that calling for the genocide of Jews on their respective campuses breached their rules and amounted to harassment.
Magill resigned days after her testimony. Now with Gay out, Ackman signaled it is time for the only one of the three presidents remaining in leadership at the premiere educational institutions to step down: MIT's Sally Kornbluth.
Ackman tweeted Tuesday, "Et tu Sally?"
TWR: If you have seen the movie “Hidden Figures”…You would know the perils of racial infection in the hard, cold, life or death reality of Engineering.
Had the University of California, Berkley suffered the same grotesque stain of Anti-Jewish Bigotry in 1936 as it does now…J. Robert Oppenheimer would have not been anywhere close to joining the faculty there, or being a part of the Manhattan Project…
When it comes to the future of the Alumni of these racially crippled plantations of bigoted indoctrination, parents must ask: Where will my child find more prosperity…As a Graduate of Harvard, University of Pennsylvania, or MIT…
…Or as a Graduate of Southeastern Technical Institute, Lancaster County Career & Technology Center, or Lincoln Technical Institute?
EPSTEIN:
PENDING RELEASE OF LIST RECALLS AMY ROBACH SPIKED REPORT
FOX:
ABC News was the first to report over the weekend that former President Bill Clinton is expected to be identified as one of several John Does in previously redacted documents related to convicted sex offender Jeffrey Epstein – an about-face for the Disney-owned network after a former anchor said executives spiked her Epstein-Clinton reporting in 2019.
In 2019, leaked footage of then-ABC News anchor Amy Robach shocked the media industry when she was caught saying the Disney-owned network spiked her Epstein reporting.
"I've had the story for three years... we would not put it on the air," Robach said on the hot mic, referring to reporting that would have taken place in 2016.
Robach was also heard saying, "There will come a day when we will realize Jeffrey Epstein was the most prolific pedophile this country has ever known. I had it all, three years ago."
Robach's diatribe was allegedly recorded in late August of that year, days after NPR criticized the mainstream media, including ABC, for sitting on Epstein news.
The convicted sex offender had already been found dead at the Metropolitan Correctional Center in New York while awaiting federal trial for sex trafficking, but Epstein was very much alive three years earlier when ABC News didn’t air Robach's reporting.
TWR: Say what you want to about former ABC News Anchor Amy Robach…But frankly, she hit the reporting of the Jeffrey Epstein story out of the park…IN 2016!!
How many lives were ruined during the intervening time between Ms. Robach filing her original story, and the Epstein Pedophile ring imploding under the weight of its own depravity?
Too many…
Why doe ABC News exist? To provide factual truth, or political spin?
POLITICS:
RAMASWAMY EXCLUDED FROM UPCOMING CNN DEBATE
FOX NEWS:
Presidential candidate Vivek Ramaswamy will participate in his own town hall event next week on the same night that CNN is set to host a Republican presidential primary debate in Iowa.
"Establishment insiders will be on the CNN stage and outsiders will be speaking directly to the people," Ramaswamy told Fox News Digital.
CNN has said that to qualify, candidates "must receive at least 10% in three separate national and/or Iowa polls of Republican caucusgoers or primary voters that meet CNN’s standards for reporting." One of the three polls must be "an approved CNN poll" of likely Iowa Republican caucusgoers, the network added.
CNN announced earlier in the day that only former President Trump, former South Carolina Gov. Nikki Haley and Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis have qualified. However, Trump is participating in a Fox News Channel town hall that same night and won’t attend the CNN event, leaving only Haley and DeSantis on stage.
"Ratings wasteland CNN has not only guaranteed themselves the most boring presidential ‘debate’ in modern history with two career politicians reciting consultant-vetted talking points, but the network has exposed itself to be actively engaging in egregious interference with the Iowa GOP caucus and disrespecting GOP voters," the Ramaswamy campaign said.
"Censorship, cherry-picking polls, and legal threats are just the mainstream media’s latest tactics to prop up their favorite puppet," the campaign continued.
TWR: Not a single Vote has been cast…Not a single Iowan has stood up in a caucus room to be counted…Yet, CNN has chosen who will be heard at its next Republican Primary Candidate Debate.
Why? Because, like ABC News, CNN believes its stake in the political manipulation of Republican Voters is more important than being honest stewards of the Truth.
TRUMP:
FEDERAL JUDGE DISMISSES 3 CIVIL COUNTS RELATED TO JAN 6
FOX NEWS:
A federal judge on Tuesday dismissed most of the civil counts against former President Donald Trump and two others in connection with the death of Capitol Police Officer Brian Sicknick during the U.S. Capitol riots on Jan. 6.
In a 12-page ruling, U.S. District Judge Amit Mehta dismissed three of the five civil counts in a lawsuit filed last January by Sandra Garza, Sicknick's girlfriend.
Garza's lawsuit against Trump and Jan. 6 rioters Julian Khater and George Tanios sought damages from all three men for claims of wrongful death, conspiracy to violate civil rights, and negligence per se based on D.C.'s anti-riot law.
TWR: Shrill political catcalls disguised as Truth have limited public shelf lives.
Capitol Police Officer Brian Sicknick’s body, laid in Honor in the US Capitol Rotunda after his death following the January 6th Riot…
The propagandist melodramatic charade of Pelosi Politicians, and mainstream media outrage on the part of NPR, CNN, USA Today, CBS News, Politico, Reuters, NBC News, the Washington Post, the News York Times and ABC News lasted from January 7, until April 19, 2021…
…When it was determined that Officer Sicknick died of natural causes.
The anti-gravity lasted 102 days.
The anti-gravity surrounding these now-dismissed civil charges has lasted 1446 days…
The only thing worse that the Left’s (Mainstream Media inclusive) manipulation of circumstances used to confect degenerate propaganda in support of political advantage…
Is the American Voter’s willing to swallow it…Hook, Line, & Sinker….
MAINE DEMOCRAT CALLS VOTER ID LAWS ‘ROOTED IN WHITE SUPREMACY’
FOX NEWS:
The Maine official who moved to disqualify former President Trump from the state's 2024 Republican primary ballot last week has previously said that voter ID laws are "rooted in White supremacy."
Maine Secretary of State Shenna Bellows made the claim while giving testimony to the legislature in April 2021, expressing her opposition to proposed state laws that would require voters to show photo identification to cast a ballot.
"Passing these bills would mean putting into statute discriminatory practices rooted in White supremacy," Bellows said during her testimony. "Today, voter ID laws are the new means of voter suppression."
"These bills would not only negatively impact people of color but also the elderly, transient, people with disabilities, students and low-income communities. In order to make our democracy as representative as possible, we cannot enact practices that would shut out certain members of society," she added.
TWR: No amount of abuse, distortion, or even misrepresentation of reality itself can be too much for Political Sociopaths.
Russian President Vladimir Putin calls American Democracy “Rotten”.
Here’s proof of his correct assessment…
One Ultra-MASA (Make America Socialist Again) Democrat believes she has the power to deny the Voters of Maine of their choice Vote or Donald Trump.
That Maine’s Secretary of State hasn’t been summarily dismissed from her State supplied Socialist Fortress is a rank embarrassment.
MIGRATION:
NY MAYOR ADMITS MIGRANT CRIME
FOX NEWS:
New York City Mayor Eric Adams revealed during a press conference Tuesday that there were "a number of migrants who have committed crimes," including some participating in what he called a "robbery pattern."
"Do I believe that there are some migrants who are committing crimes in the city? Yes. Yes," Adams confirmed when asked by a reporter. Though he emphasized it's not only migrants, "There are people who are committing crimes in all walks of life.
It's not just migrants and asylum seekers. I think that we have a number of migrants who have committed crimes. We have a number of non-migrants who are committing crimes."
"And, so, I do not want to walk away with anyone saying that the [grand larceny auto] increase we saw in the city was just migrants. No, it’s not. It was long-term New Yorkers who committed [grand larceny auto] also," he added. "But are there some crimes that migrants have committed? Yes, there are."
TWR: What?!? Illegal Immigrants Committing Crimes?!? That’s Racial Profiling, You City Hall Bigot!! Release All of Them IMMEDIATELY!!
WHERE DID PEOPLE MOVE TO IN 2023?
USA TODAY:
For the third consecutive year, Texas had the largest number of people moving to the state, according to U-Haul's Growth Index report.
Each year, the moving equipment rental company tracks the net gain of one-way U-Haul trucks arriving in a state or city compared with the net gain of trucks leaving that same state or city. Texas tops 2023's list, followed by Florida, North Carolina, South Carolina and Tennessee.
According to U-Haul, there are over 2 million one-way U-Haul truck transactions each year within the U.S. and Canada. The report gives a snapshot of do-it-yourself movers in 2023, but does not account for the total population of movers, such as those who used other rental companies or methods of moving.
These states saw the largest influx of movers in 2023, according to U-Haul:
1. Texas
2. Florida
3. North Carolina
4. South Carolina
5. Tennessee
TWR: By all means…
…Bring us your tired, your poor, your huddled masses yearning to breathe free…
…But leave your love of being overtaxed, you willingness to accept huddled masses (of homeless people) yearning to breathe free (marijuana)…your pathological willingness to do whatever your Socialist, Totalitarian, Elitist brain-washers to tell you to do…
Right there in the middle of whatever Leftist Cesspool you’re driving away from…
Oh, and speaking of Leftist Cesspools…stay out of Austin, Dallas, Houston, or San Antonio…
AIRCRAFT:
737 MAX AIRLINERS NEED THEIR NUTS EXAMINED
USA TODAY:
After an international airline discovered a missing nut while performing routine maintenance of a Boeing 737 Max, the airplane maker is urging airlines to inspect its 737 Max commercial airplanes for a possible loose bolt in the rudder control system, the Federal Aviation Administration said Thursday.
"The FAA is closely monitoring targeted inspections of Boeing 737 Max airplanes to look for a possible loose bolt in the rudder control system," a news release from the FAA said.
Boeing also discovered a nut that was not properly tightened in an aircraft that had not yet been delivered, according to the FAA.
No damages have been reported so far and Boeing said that the advisory was issued out of an abundance of caution.
"The issue identified on the particular airplane has been remedied," the statement from Boeing said. "Out of an abundance of caution, we are recommending operators inspect their 737 Max airplanes and inform us of any findings. We informed the FAA and our customers and will continue to keep them aware of the progress."
The aircraft manufacturer said that the inspection is not particularly difficult and involves removing an access panel and visually validating proper installation. The entire process could take approximately two hours per airplane, said Boeing.
TWR: So…We now know definitively that all Boeing 737 Max Aircraft are male.
· They’re all named Max…
· They’re all hard to work with…And,
· They’re nuts need constant attention.
AWARDS:
JO KOY HOSTS THE GOLDEN GLOBES
USA TODAY:
The Golden Globes formally invites you to ... give them another chance.
After a few years of self-inflicted scandal, the first big awards show of the season returns Sunday, Jan. 7, on a new network (CBS instead of NBC), with new for-profit owners (Eldridge Industries and Dick Clark Productions), a presumably kinder, gentler host (comedian Jo Koy) and a pronounced distancing from the Hollywood Foreign Press Association (that entity is now dissolved and known as the Golden Globe Foundation).
The seasonal staple was known for decades as a fun and boozy romp for celebrities who picked up shiny statues they hoped would lead to the far more golden Oscar a few weeks down the road.
The standard fare included televised scenes of A-listers mixing and mingling as well as brutally irreverent show hosts (looking at you, Ricky Gervais) who seemed to confuse the telecast for a roast.
TWR: After being turned down by “everyone” Jo Koy steps up to the plate…Good for him.
Jo Koy is funny…Believe me, he’ll be the best part of the entire evening.
