Congresswoman Elise Stefanik has hit back at Harvard President Claudine Gay's apology for her controversial congressional testimony on antisemitism.
Gay told the House Committee on Education and the Workforce on Tuesday that calls for a 'genocide of Jews' on Harvard's campus would only constitute harassment 'depending on the context.'
In an interview with the prestigious college's student newspaper, The Harvard Crimson, Gay apologized for the remarks and said she became caught up in 'policies and procedures'.

Insert blacks in the "context" instead of Jews and those four university presidents would not only have been fired the same day they made their remarks but their homes would have been burned. They have finally done some good in their careers by exposing the general hate and bias in academia.

Abashed to say it, but women vaunted for their communication skills obfuscate determinative truths most men would clearly state. Fundamental differences in worldview make men better executives and women better negotiators. Comes a time when clarity loses to “policies and procedures.” LaPlace’s demon knows all Nd can predict the future; mere mortals using limited data pull the trigger to get issues off the ground and downrange. Society doesn’t run when the weakest and dumbest get rewarded by sinecures. Some are born great, some achieve greatness, and some have greatness thrust upon them, but leadership and execution always require standing for something.

DEI and Affirmative Action Administrators can kill the reputation of Institutions which have been admired for excellence for 200 years. Social Promotions like those afforded Claudine Gay and Lloyd Austin are absolutely devastating to good order and preparedness. Not to mention absolutely dangerous to the protection of all we hold dear, our lives, livelihood and posterity.

#2...These are just the run of the mill leftist and opportunist. They have found a route to power from school boards to corporate boards in this day of woke anti America bilge. I've known no nonsense straight from the shoulder women in my personal life and in public service. So have you. Ambassador Kirkpatrick Golda Meir Phylis Schafly and of course The Iron Lady Margaret Thatcher just to name a few.

There are two issues that are critical here. One, The anti-semetic outbursts seen on Ivy campuses did not suddenly manifest themselves out of nowhere. They came from long term, pervasive acceptance and indoctrination of intolerance and hatred. 2. The Jew hate here is only the tip of the iceberg. The hatred encompasses almost everything American. These haloed halls of learning have been turned into dens of left wing indoctrination poisoning some of the finest young minds in the nation. These are things they should have grilled the three women on.

Academic double talk is almost as bad as corporate double talk. Its like they go to special training to say as little as possible with as many words as possible. An old English teacher of mine called it the "blunderbuss effect"; A little bit of shot spread out on the paper, and all the gaps filled in with pointless fluff.

The same indoctrination going on in government schools (government funded=government schools, bump the ivy league) will take place in the refugee camps being established for the illegals pouring into leftist cities. They will get their traitor armies from those groups. They're getting our taxpayer dollars to fund them; don't listen to the mayor of NYC's lies.

Gay is a Marxist, guaranteed to LIE. Next question...Maybe electric chairs for these people would help their memory. First lie a 20K Volt Jolt...just to wake them up, when they stop dancing in their chair ask the same question again...second lie is 50K Volts...not fatal but they will dance nicely...third Lie turn up the juice and put them out of their Marxist Misery! All legal as it's NOT unusual to punish LIARS!

Getting rid of the university presidents won’t be enough, so don’t celebrate too hard when they go and boy are they going. Layers and layers of administrators have to be fired and go and get a real job

I wish Ronna Romney McDaniel has one tenth the backbone of Elise Stafanik and Marsha Blackburn. But then, Ronna speaks for the country club Republicans while Elise and Marsha look out for the rest of us.

#6, “If you can’t dazzle them with brilliance, baffle them with bullshite.” also works.

I never thought much of Stefanik before. But her takedown of those three she-dogs was masterful. Also, anyone who uses the phrase "MY truth" is incapable of telling THE truth.
